parted and his brow furrowed. He reached for her hand and held it gently while they walked along the outdoor shops at the Newport Levee. She continued talking as if he was her psychiatrist, feeling compelled to express every errant thought that she’d ever had about visits. The only thing she left out was the information about David and the dream she’d had about him as a teenager.
    After she had spilled her guts, Dani couldn’t meet Tyler’s eyes. It was nice knowing him—too bad her big mouth would push him away.
    But instead of thinking she was a wack-job, Tyler gave her hand a brief squeeze.
    “Dani, you don’t have to worry about what I think. I believe that there is more to the world than what we see. And I believe that when people experience the unknown, they attract others that do the same.”
    Dani studied Tyler. “So you’ve had experiences?”
    His lip twisted slightly. “Sometimes I see things.”
    She cocked her head in surprise but stopped herself before asking the next question. Had he seen her? Had he dreamed about her? Maybe he had made love to her before ever meeting her …
    She smiled slightly. “If you happen to know some tidbit that will help me make it through all this craziness than it would be most appreciated.”
    He gave her a crooked smile. His eyes flitted over her shoulder briefly before settling back on her. “Well … there are two pretty women who are watching over you. One looks a little mad, though—the younger one. The other looks like you. She is your Mom I think. I don’t think they are going anywhere anytime soon.” Tyler bit his lip lightly, “So I hope they like me because, I don’t think I’m going anywhere either.” His face turned red. “I hope I didn’t scare you off. Sometimes it scares people when I tell them what I see.”
    Dani shook her head and pressed the tears that had sprouted in her eyes with one hand while squeezing Tyler’s hand a bit tighter.
    Yes. Pat and her mother had been trying to protect her not scare her.
    Tyler was watching her with a look of worry and she leaned forward and kissed him lightly. Her toes curled in her Converse as a spark of something familiar and warm passed between them.
    “I have a feeling that we are going to have one strange and unique relationship,” she said.
    “I know that to be a fact,” he said with a smile as they began to walk again.

About the Author

       Pepper Pace creates a unique brand of Interracial/multicultural erotic romance.  While her stories span the gamut from humorous to heartfelt, the common theme is crossing racial boundaries.   
       The author is comfortable in dealing with situations that are, at times, considered taboo.  Readers find themselves questioning their own sense of right and wrong, attraction and desire.  The author believes that an erotic romance should first begin with romance and only then does she offers a look behind the closed doors to the passion.
       Pepper Pace lives in Cincinnati, Ohio where many of her stories take place. She writes in the genres of science fiction, youth, horror, urban lit and poetry.  She is a
