In Volume 2 of Dash, readers witness the growing attraction and bond between Dash and Tabatha as they continue to tear up the sheets and give their bodies and their hearts over to one another, but their relationship is also turning into quite the duplicitous situation, which in the end, might cost them the best thing to ever happen to either one of them.
Secrets always have a way of coming out and treachery can only lead to catastrophic events, which seems to be where Dash and Tabatha are headed, both individually and as a couple, due to outside players and their vendettas against the hot couple, and with the cliffhanger at the end of volume 2, it’s too soon to tell who’s out to get whom and what that means for Dash’s career and Dash and Tabatha’s commitment to each other.
There’s multiple factors to consider in Dash and Tabatha outing their relationship to the public eye and with Tabatha’s insecurities and Dash’s risky profession, nothing is cut and dry and the risks they face might be too much for them to endear.
I didn’t think I would like the idea of serials…I thought they’d be too short and leave me frustrated. But the more serials that I read, the more I truly enjoy these short episodes because they keep readers’ interest and keep us invested until the next one, kind of like a television show.
Tabatha and Dash are great characters and their banter and hot connection truly fly off the page, but they definitely frustrated me in volume 2, especially Tabatha. I know she’s been hurt and she’s hesitant to start another relationship, but she cuts and run over anything and I don’t blame Dash for being frustrated. Do I condone some of his acts, absolutely not, but Tabatha needs to understand his side of the situation as well and that doesn’t seem to be happening much in this volume.
Hopefully, in volume three, despite the dilemma Tabatha is left with in volume two, she’ll uncover the independent fighter that she used to be before her relationship with her ex and claim what she wants with Dash despite the interference from multiple sides.

4 poison apples
My heart pounds in my chest and my body trembles. I gasp, trying to catch my breath.
“You sure know how to stroke a man’s ego,” Dash’s voice whispers into my ear as his hand slides between our bodies and his fingers find my clit. I gasp as he starts to massage it. He chuckles as he buries his face deeper into my neck.
I arch my back, allowing him better access as I suck in another breath. “You’re the one doing all the work,” I pant as his body lies on top of mine.
I feel him smile against my neck. I let out a shriek as he rolls over and pulls me on top of him. He looks up to me with a smirk on his face. A few strands of dark hair stick to his slick forehead. “You can have all the control you want, darling.” I’m momentarily paralyzed as his light gray eyes stare up into mine. The morning light coming in through the window makes them sparkle. The smirk grows across his face as he places his hands behind his head. Arrogant bastard. He knows what he does to me when he looks at me like that. Like I’m the only woman in the world. Like neither one of us have a past. Like we’re not hiding from the present. I don’t know what our future holds, but at the moment, it goes on forever.
I run my hands up his smooth and hard chest, the sweat from our bodies making it slippery. I want to taste him in every way. To the point that it may make me sound somewhat insane. Leaning down, I place my lips on his chest and give him a soft kiss. I continue giving him soft kisses as I slide my body down his.
He lifts his hips and he lets out a deep growl as I wrap my fingers around the base of his dick. I wet my lips and lower my mouth over him as his hands find their way into my hair. So much for being in charge. I don’t mind it, though. He can have all the control over me that he wants.
He lets out a moan as I pull him to the back of my throat. I let out a noise of my own when I taste myself on him. As I go to pull up, his hands in my hair grip me tighter and he lifts his hips, pushing deeper into my mouth. I try to fight the urge to pull back, to fight his control. He’s not Rodger, I tell myself.
“Fuck…Oh…” I run my eyes up his body lying on the white sheets. His stomach muscles clench and his chest rises and falls quickly. His head is thrown back, his jaw tight, as he sucks in breaths through clenched teeth. It’s a sight to see—me allowing him to take pleasure from me the way that he wants. I relax, allowing him to have his way with my mouth as I just allowed him to have my body.
I take him as deep and as fast as he wants to go. And he wants it fast. He doesn’t let up. My jaw is sore and my cheeks hurt but it’s worth it. Anything is worth hearing that man come with my name on his lips.
Once he’s finished, he releases my hair and I pull away from him with a satisfied smile on my face. He grabs me by the shoulders and throws me down beside him. “You’re amazing,” he breathes as he pushes some hair off of my face.
I take in a deep breath. “Not so bad yourself,” I tease.
His smile widens. “So much for stroking my ego,” he mumbles.
I arch an eyebrow. “I think I’ve stroked enough,” I respond, making him fill his bedroom with laughter.
I open my eyes and look at myself in the mirror. I have streaks running down my face from the tears I’ve cried in the last hour. It’s crazy how that memory was from just this morning. We were lying in his bed laughing as we were getting ready for round two. Now I’m standing in the restroom at the hospital waiting to see if he’s gonna be okay.
Dash crashed! It happened so fast that it didn’t register at first. He was riding along on the track after our talk. I had almost left him. I was so pissed at the fact that he was keeping some serious secrets from me. Hell, I thought that Valerie was telling the truth and that she was indeed his girlfriend. My father even believed her. Acted like he knew her. But after talking to him, I believed him. Then he jumped back on his bike and went to finish his practice run.
