Shot at Love

By Yvette Hines

Coming Together's Hors d'Oeuvres are single story treats taken from the anthologies and sold as appetizers. Finger food, if you will, for the libido.

Yvette Hines' "Shot at Love" comes from Coming Together: At Last (v1) which benefits Amnesty International.

Moni Walker has been a freelance photographer for years. Having spent most of her adult life traveling all over the world and running from commitments of any type, an accident convinces her it's time to stop. She desperately needs financial backing for her studio Pixel Promises, an organization she started to help urban teens. More doors have been closing for her than opening until she gets a call from the vice president of a local shipping company. She never expects to find Dwayne Shelton behind the desk. Dwayne is blunt when he tells Moni he not only wants to offer sponsorship but to also continue their relationship. Moni's usual M.O. has always been to love them and leave them. Now she has to decide if her community program is worth risking both her freedom and her heart. (M/F, interracial, contemporary)

Chapter One

Hmm, who's that creamy vanilla dream that just walked in? Moni Walker inquired as she eyed the tall attractive white man that walked into the room. He had to be at least six-two, with wide broad shoulders she would love to wrap her arms around as she ran her fingers through his short sandy blond hair.

The temperature in the room went from cool to blazing within second as she watched the man move deeper into the room. Her mind emptied of anything else, but him. She couldn't even recall what she and her sister had been discussing before he arrived. Buildings. Clothes. Teens. Food. Pictures. Who in the hell knew. But, she wanted to know him like Abraham knew Sarah.

She became flushed as moisture seeped into her panties from her swelling, throbbing sex. Squeezing her thighs together below her dress, she didn't know if she was attempting to quell the arousal or heighten its feeling. Damn, I'm throbbing.

LaMonica or Nica as she called her twin sister, turned from the buffet table and looked across the room where the man was deep in a conversation with her brother in-law and his partner, Paul.

That's the other Dee. Meaning that they occasionally called her husband Dee as well. Dwayne is one of Detrick's friends. Nica snatched up a lumpia off the mound of food piled high on the saucer in her hand and sank her teeth in it. My husband and his partner Paul have known him since high school.

Moni sipped from her drink, preferring an Amaretto Sour, but settled for the select brand of white wine her sister and her husband had on chill for the party. Detrick Rauglins was a big time lawyer in the Norfolk area and had just won a case against the city to have the few remaining low income housing section, known as the projects, remodeled on the inside instead of the facelift and proverbial name change the city gave it years ago. Moni had agreed to come to the party. She was now stuck in the room with her sister and brother's nine to five working friends. Where most of the men were married or in serious relationships that had them practically marching to the altar.

Yup, she was bored out of her damn mind. Blah, blah, blah. She gazed over at her sister, who was working on her
