Mr Taboo (Microwave Fiction - Hot Quick Done) by D T Pollard Page A

years old, trim and beautiful, but she felt that always doing the right thing had only allowed others to walk al l over her. Robert, Meagan’s ex-husband, left her over a year earlier for a younger woman and she felt stuck in her job as manager of the store. Meagan was frustrated and ready for a change. Jonathan gave Meagan a credit card without a limit to pay for his purchase and she rung up his items. Jonathan walked out of the door and got into a two hundred thousand dollar sports car and started to back out when he stopped. Jonathan came back into the store.
    “Did you forget something, Mr. Taboo?” Meagan asked?
    “Yes, I forgot to invite you to a social gathering I’m having at my place this weekend. This is an invitation with the address. Come if you have time, it starts at ten,” Jonathan said as he walked back out.
    Normally Meagan would have rejected such an unsolicited invitation, but this time she did not.
    “Thank you,” Meagan said.
    “I hope I see you there,” Jonathan said as he left.
    Meagan looked at the black invitation with gold lettering and watched Jonathan drive away. Meagan was a slender woman with brunette hair that she kept in a tidy cut that was shoulder length. Vibrant blue eyes, porcelain skin and a petite five foot five inch stature were the ingredients for an attractive presentation that Meagan kept wrapped in a conservative wardrobe that understated her beauty. Her curiosity was at a peak because Meagan always wondered what went on behind the doors of those huge gated homes situated in relative isolation and surrounded by acres of land on either side. Meagan knew the highway that this address was on and it was not somewhere anyone would go without a reason. Each one of the properties along this stretch of road that wound above a lake was prime real estate and home to some of the wealthiest citizens in Dallas. Until he walked into her boutique, Meagan had never heard of Jonathan Taboo, but she decided she would get a peek at how the other side lived on Saturday night when she went to his party. There was a time in the past when Meagan wouldn’t even think of attending such an event, but he felt that her reluctance to take chances may have played a part in ending her marriage. Playing it safe was easy, but in her mind Meagan determined it was time to step far outside her social comfort zone. Meagan figured she had nothing to lose and her social calendar was wide open.

    Meagan Wilkins began life as Meagan Clark in a small town in Mississippi and was the first in her family to go college directly from high school. Hard work and good grades paid off for Meagan as she won an academic scholarship to a university in Florida. College was an eye opener for Meagan as she encountered people from all over the country of diverse backgrounds and cultures. Observing others socializing outside of class with individuals of different races was an adjustment for Meagan who came from a life experience that featured segregated churches and proms for black and white students. Her parents, especially Meagan’s father felt a certain way about African American’s and tried to pass that attitude on to his children.
    Meagan drove up to the gated driveway of the address for the party and pressed the button to call the house. A woman’s voice answered.
    “I was invited to a party here by Mr. Taboo,” Meagan said.
    “Do you have your invitation?” the woman answered.
    “Yes, I have it,” Meagan answered.
    “Place you invitation up against the black square under the speaker button and the gate will open,” the woman directed.
    “Okay, thanks,” Meagan said as she retrieved her invitation from her purse.
    Meagan did as directed and placed her invitation against the black square. A green light illuminated alongside the square and the metal gate began to move to the right. The winding driveway went on for three hundred yards through a tunnel of tall trees and suddenly she burst into a manicured
