herself again in the glass and touched the backcomb that held her hair pinned up at one side. It had starburst gems the same green as her clothing. She’d left the rest of her hair down around her shoulders, and she stepped back, liking how her kinky curls moved with her. She lifted her shaking hand then shook it out before placing it over her stomach. Butterflies were dancing in her stomach. She laughed at herself for being so silly. This was a date with her husband—the man she knew almost as well as she knew herself. She rolled her shoulders then breathed out, feeling a sense of rightness settle inside her.
    Yep. She was ready for this date. She chuckled, then patted the hidden pockets in the pants suit. She had lipstick, money and her keys. Turning, she headed out of the bedroom then descended the stairs. Spencer must have heard her because he came out of the living room. Regina paused, caught by the look in his eyes. It made her tingle in all the right places. She hadn’t seen such naked desire on his face in a long time.
    Someone is getting lucky tonight. She fought a smirk at the thought. So much for his no sex rule. She finished coming down the steps and checked him over. He was in beige—an open necked shirt, partially unbuttoned, leaving a tempting glimpse of his chest visible, and his slacks were slightly loose. Open-toed sandals completed his attire. Spencer met her at the bottom of the stairs.
    “Dakota tried to warn me, but you can’t ever be prepared for this.” Spencer held her hand, staring at her. “You’re lovely, Reggie.”
    “You too, Spence.” She placed her other hand on his chest, smoothing down his shirt and straightening his collar. “Where are we going?”
    “Bella’s.”
    “Perfect.” She snuggled against him.
    Spencer held her loosely around the waist. Bella’s was perfect for seduction. The supper club was a classy yet comfortable dining establishment. Although reservations were in high demand, Regina figured Spencer had called Bella, the owner, herself. After all, she was family. Bella was Julianne’s cousin. Regina was looking forward to spending the night there, from cocktail hour to the great food, then enjoying the nightclub or live entertainment after dinner. She froze as she thought of dancing with Spencer. Panic set in and she inhaled deeply, trying to calm.
    “Reggie? Are you okay?”
    “I’m fine.” She stepped back. “Let’s get going.”
    Spencer led her across the foyer and out of the front door. She locked up then they went to his car, and in moments were headed out for their night. Regina looked out of the window, wondering if she could dance with him. He was right that she hadn’t danced in a long time.
    “Reggie, if you don’t want to go, we don’t have to.”
    Pull it together. “No, I want to.” She smiled at him. “How was your day today?”
    He studied her in the dim light of the car interior, then spoke. “It was good. Strange being back on the day shift. Lots of new faces.”
    Regina listened and asked questions as they chatted, driving towards Bella’s. By the time they arrived at the club, she was in a better frame of mind. They went to the door, bypassing the line of people. They gave the bouncer their names, and he let them enter.
    “The line is kind of long for a weekday.” Regina wondered why. “Is there something going on today?”
    Bella’s was busy in general, but the line wasn’t usually so long on weekdays.
    “No idea.” They approached the hostess.
    “Reggie, it’s good to see you again.” She looked at Spencer. “Long time no see, stranger.”
    “I missed you too, Khandi.” Spencer tweaked her nose. “You don’t usually man the hostess stand even on nights when it looks as busy as it does tonight.”
    “I’m gonna get my husband to beat you up.” Khandi Locke, Bella’s sister, smacked at Spencer’s hand. “And I don’t, but it’s a special night.”
    At Khandi’s emphasis on the word and her pointed
