glance, Regina knew something was up.
    “Why is it a special night?” Spencer frowned.
    “Enjoy your dinner, Spencer. Now move. You’re blocking my stand.” She waved to a waitress hovering nearby, then shooed them away.
    Spencer placed his hand on the small of Regina’s back and guided her. Regina looked back, and Khandi winked and mouthed, “Good luck.” Regina faced forward, stifling a grin. She hadn’t even called, but seems like the family line of helping was working overtime. Spencer had made the reservation, but someone else had called to plot something. Regina didn’t even know what it was, but knowing the Locke family, it was going to be a knock over the head—most likely for Spencer. The waitress sat them at a booth in the corner, close to the raised stage, then removed a sign on the table that said ‘reserved’. The seats were for family only, or certain people who were family by choice. Regina slid in first and waited for Spencer to join her. When he did, she moved close to him, pressing her leg up against his. Spencer looked at her, studying her face. Regina strove to look innocent.
    “I know you didn’t know where you were going, but someone called.” He said the same thing she figured. “I wonder who it was.”
    “Does it matter?”
    “Nope.” He put his arm over her shoulders and pulled her close.
    Regina closed her eyes and thanked God she was here like this with him. She opened them and blinked when she saw the lights had dimmed, which surprised her. Usually, the entertainment was at the end of the evening.
    “Tonight, we have something special planned for you.” Bella Locke’s sultry alto voice came just before the light flashed on, illuminating the stage. As usual, she looked devastatingly gorgeous. She glanced at them and winked before focusing on the audience. “Sometimes, love can seem so lost. But when it is true, you don’t ever lose it. Through the pain, you have to Embrace the Love .”
    Now she knew why the line was so long. It happened if word got out Bella was singing. Regina stiffened as she heard the title of one of Bella’s biggest selling hits. Driscoll had written it for Bella. Spencer kissed the side of her face, and she relaxed, inhaling his scent.
    “Pain overwhelms my soul as I am torn apart.”
    The song started the first wrenching notes that made Regina tremble. As Bella sang, she held out her hand towards Spencer. The song started sad, but as the notes played it became a song of renewal. Regina felt every note in her soul and rested deeper against Spencer as it washed over her. He lifted her head to meet her gaze. Bella sang the last lines, seeming almost for them alone.
    “ As I embrace the love, I am reborn to you.
    Take my soul into your keeping and love me whole.”
    The last word resonated through the silent room then applause broke out throughout the area. Regina blinked, and Spencer shook his head, looking away. She frowned, gripping his hand. He returned the hold and she smiled, hoping by the end of the night they would end their date on a high note. She listened as Bella sang another song, and this one was of desire and giving yourself over to it. Spencer stiffened and Regina stifled a chuckle. She glanced towards the stage. Bella was looking directly at them as she crooned the words, using her smoky voice expertly, weaving it for seduction. Regina blew her a kiss. Bella returned it, then prowled along the stage moving with the music, rolling her hips in a carnal motion. Regina could feel Spencer staring but refused to look at him. Let the need build. She shifted as she moistened and fought rubbing her legs together. She wanted him, and tonight she would have him. No one did ‘take me and lay me out’ songs better than Bella. And Regina was going to reap the benefits of her pouring out all that sexuality. Yes, she would have to find a special way to thank Bella for her help.

    Later, Regina entered the house feeling Spencer at her back.
