couple more pieces I want to add for the advanced students.”
    â€œWe need to get my brother-in-law and brothers to do the dance they did at the wedding. I had no idea they could dance like that.” Siobhan loved Michael Jackson, and her husband, along with Siobhan and Morgan’s brothers, did a dance presentation at their wedding reception from “Smooth Criminal.”
    â€œI wish I could have seen it.”
    â€œOh, I recorded it,” she said, going over to retrieve her cell from her purse. She found the video and handed Brooke the phone.
    â€œWow, I didn’t know your brothers could move like this. Your brother-in-law is one good-looking man.”
    â€œJustin is a great guy and perfect for my sister.”
    Brooke handed the phone back. “Do you think they’d be willing to do a special presentation for us?”
    Morgan shrugged. “I don’t know, but I’ll ask. We’ll be cutting it kind of close for Malcolm, though. Preseason starts at the end of the month. Since the show is scheduled the weekend before, he might be able to do it.” They discussed the logistics of the added dances, as well as having a couple of Brooke’s friends who were dancers to help with the choreography.
    â€œI still want to do the instructor feature again, and this time, Morgan Gray, you will be dancing. You can do tap, jazz, hip-hop or whatever, but you will be dancing.”
    Morgan groaned. “Come on, Brooke. I haven’t been on a stage in years,” she protested.
    Brooke rose gracefully to her feet. “No time like the present to get back out there. You’re good, Morgan. I’ve watched you practice, and you haven’t lost your edge. It’s time the world knows that the dance teacher can dance . I’ve already reserved the hotel for the after-party. It’s going to be fabulous. Oh, and this year, I want the dress rehearsal to be a private performance for the families of our students,” she added.
    â€œThat’s fine.” Morgan was still a little unsure of being onstage again, but truthfully, she missed the excitement of performing for an audience. However, between getting her students prepared, working on the lawsuit and now writing Omar’s contract, she didn’t see how she would manage to learn a routine in less than a month’s time.

    Three nights later, Morgan sat at her kitchen table, reading over the contract she’d drawn up for Omar one last time to make sure she had included everything from general principles to the term of the contract. Compensation would be the standard 3 percent, but the only thing she needed to clarify was whether he wanted her for any other services, such as endorsements, or just the football deal. She reached for the card that had been included in the envelope of information and stared at the number. She took a glimpse at the microwave clock and noted it was past ten.
    â€œYou can do this, Morgan. It’s what you’ve always wanted.” Before she could talk herself out of calling, she took a deep breath and punched in the number on her cell.
    â€œHello,” came the warm baritone.
    Why does everything about this man have to be so sexy, including his voice? “Hey, Drummond. It’s Morgan. I wanted to see when you’re available to go over the contract.”
    â€œWhat are you doing tomorrow night?”
    â€œI have something until eight, but I’m free afterward. I can meet you somewhere.”
    â€œI’d rather not meet in public.”
    Morgan’s pulse skipped. She was counting on the buffer that a public place would provide. “I’m sure we could arrange a private room or something.”
    â€œThat won’t work,” Omar insisted. “We can meet at my house, and I’ll explain why when you get here.”
    His house? This had disaster written all over it. If they couldn’t contain themselves at her brother’s house, where
