Dive in Deep Pain From the Past
SadeDread filled me. It was probably Trent coming to his senses and calling to cancel our date. We’d both had a little too much to drink last night. I couldn’t blame him for realizing he could do much better than me.I looked at the screen and saw my dad’s number.“Hey, Dad,” I answered.“Good morning,” he said, his tone gruff. His tone was always gruff. It came from the many years he’d used that voice to command soldiers on the battlefield. “I wanted to check and see how you were doing. I haven’t heard from you.”“Sorry,” I said. “We’ve been busy. I’m doing just fine.” “Are you getting lots of rest? This vacation was about you taking a break and getting some rest. You nearly worked yourself to the bone trying to save up for this trip.” “I am getting lots of rest. The weather has been perfect, and the hotel we’re staying at is so nice!” I purposely left out any details about the owner of the hotel. “What about you and Mom? How are you guys?”He sighed. “I’m bored and apparently dri
Dive in Deep Motivation
TrentI leaned back, relaxing into the seat with her next to me. I had considered giving her the full deluxe treatment, with my helicopter picking us up and whisking us away to the Napa Valley for a private meal at one of the wineries, but I had thought better of it.I didn’t think she would be impressed by any of that. I wanted to be with her without all the trappings of my wealth. I wanted her to get to know me and not focus on the glamour that came along with being me. It seemed like every woman I had met was more interested in what my money could buy. They wanted the private jets, the fancy restaurants, and expensive hotels. They didn’t give a shit about knowing me. Some put on a good show and pretended really well, but not well enough that I didn’t catch on eventually.Instead of going with the expected, I decided to strip it down to just me, her, and some good old-fashioned mom and pop food. I was hoping to go unnoticed and be able to just be Trent Gilroy, the guy that had done
Dive in Deep It's A Gift
Trent“Do Khloe and Julia support your choice in career?” I asked.She laughed. “They do, but they think I should have gone the doctor route. The money is a lot better, but that wasn’t what motivated me.”“Good,” I said with a firm nod. “You should always follow your heart.”“I agree. Plus, they tease me a lot because I can really get going on cell rejuvenation and stem cells. I will go on for hours. They’re not exactly into that kind of thing.” She laughed. “I’ve learned to only speak nerd with my fellow lab rats.”“You can speak nerd to me all day,” I told her, not meaning it to sound like a come on but realizing that was exactly what it sounded like.She smiled brighter. “That’s a good one,” she teased.I laughed. “That didn’t come out quite like I meant it to, but I’m serious. I’ll listen all day. You clearly love the subject. It shows in your eyes, and you truly light up.”“Do you feel that kind of passion for your job?” she questioned.I thought about it and shook my head. “No,
Dive in Deep Everything I Could Ever Want
SadeI felt like I was in a dream. I had come to Lake Tahoe with expectations of having a good time with my friends, doing a little drinking, sunbathing, and maybe some shopping. I had never imagined I would meet a man that checked all the boxes.He was everything a woman could want, and he was interested in me. I must have reminded myself of that at least a hundred times. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t believe it was really happening. It was. It was real. He was very real and sitting a few inches away from me in the backseat of his chauffeured car as we took a scenic way back to the hotel.“I’m sorry,” he said, looking apologetic. “I have to check my email. Richie has been blowing up my phone, and I need to make sure there is nothing too important.”“Don’t be sorry. You have a business to run. I’m fine just staring out the window.”I was at peace. I had hated the idea of accepting the scarf from him, but ultimately, I accepted it for the gift that it was. It was expensive in my eyes, but in
Dive in Deep Something New
SadeWe made it to the lookout he had described, and I was absolutely awestruck. “This is crazy. I can’t believe more people don’t come here!”He laughed. “A lot of tourists come for the lake and the water activities. It’s the real die-hards that want to really see what the area has to offer that venture up here.”“I think this is better than anything down there. It’s far more private and gives you a chance to really enjoy the beauty of it all.”“Is there anything your friends and you wanted to do while you were here that you haven’t done yet?” he asked.I shrugged a shoulder. “Not really. You took us on a yacht, which was not on the list but absolutely an awesome experience. We talked about trying paddleboarding, but I’m not very coordinated.”He laughed. “It is harder than people think.”“I’m not the athletic type. Khloe is. I bet she’ll be good at it.”“Anything else?” he asked. “Kayaks?”I wrinkled my nose. “I don’t know. Really, honestly, all we really planned to do was drink, su
Dive in Deep Not Bothering Me
TrentThe financials were looking good for the acquisition. It was hard to sell a huge investment when I couldn’t really promise a great profit for several years. Fortunately, I was the boss, and if I lost some money in the deal, it wouldn’t kill me.I wanted to throw money at the project until it worked. I knew it would work, but it was going to cost. After a final review of the numbers, I sent it over to my accountant to give his stamp of approval. I wasn’t worried he’d reject it. He knew better. He’d work his magic and make it happen.I checked the time and fought back the disappointment. Sade hadn’t called or texted. It was after ten. I knew she would have been up already. Maybe I had misread the signs yesterday. Maybe I had pushed too hard. I had kind of insinuated myself into her vacation. I should have skipped the dinner invitation.Dammit. I was desperate to spend more time with her. I had probably freaked her out. She was likely thinking I was a stalker or a guy looking for a
Dive in Deep A Buffer
Trent“I have thought about your offer for dinner,” Sade said with a very large pause.“But?” I questioned.She sighed. “I had mentioned it to Khloe and Julia and indicated it would just be you and me. They asked if you mentioned them, and I couldn’t lie, but I really wanted to lie.” I chuckled. She wanted to be alone with me. That made me very happy. “And?” I pressed.“And they would like to go. They said they’d like to learn a little more about you. I’m sorry. They can be very, um, I don’t know, bossy, and they think they have to protect me. They are worse than my dad.” She harrumphed.“They seemed all right to me. In fact, I got the impression they were totally fine with us spending time together. It was Khloe who promised to keep Julia occupied while I stole you away.”She rolled her eyes. “Matchmaking is their specialty.”“I think they’re good at it,” I said with a grin.“I’m just going to apologize now for what they might say or do tonight. They can get mouthy, and they have em
Dive in Deep Meeting the Best Friend
SadeMe and the girls walked through the lobby, and all I could think about was Charlie’s Angels, the newer version. I was Drew, Khloe was Lucy, and Julia was Cameron. I could practically feel my hair blowing back as I walked. We all dressed casually after getting a text from Trent, saying nothing fancy. It was warm enough to wear shorts, which we had all opted for. I wore one of the new blouses I had picked up on our shopping trip the night before. It was pale pink and flowy, and made me feel pretty.“That’s him,” I said, pointing to the car with Bentley waiting out front.“If you marry this guy or even if you officially date him, I’m going to have to ask for a stretch limo,” Khloe said.I laughed. “I’ll get right on that.”“Any idea where we’re going?” Julia asked, getting in the backseat.“Nope, but he said casual,” I answered.I had been incredibly relieved when I got the text from him. I had been a little nervous about a fancy dinner at a steakhouse or something equally expensive

Dive in Deep Happily Ever After
TrentKhloe approached us. “Too much?” she asked.Sade wiped a tear from her eye. “I love you. You are amazing. Thank you.”I nodded. “Yes, thank you. This is absolutely stunning. I could have never imagined it could look like this. Truly, thank you.”“The photographer was in earlier,” she said. “The one for the brochure.” “Perfect, thanks,” I said still in disbelief.“I think you two are supposed to be heading to the front for your little introduction,” she said, shooing us away.We spent the next two hours dancing and mingling with our guests. Justin approached me at one point and asked to talk with me in private. I was immediately on guard.“What’s going on?” I asked him in the hall outside the ballroom.“I wasn’t thrilled that the two of you ran off and got married without a word to anyone,” he started.“I’m really sorry about that.”“I know you are. I want to thank you for taking such good care of my little girl. I couldn’t have asked for a better son-in-law. Welcome to the fami
Dive in Deep Married Again
TrentI wasn’t the least bit nervous. I chalked it up to being an experienced groom. If other couples knew how much easier and how less stressful it was to have the wedding a couple of months after being married, everyone would do it. I didn’t have any wedding day jitters, and I wasn’t worried the family would hate me or the bride would be a wreck.It was easy-peasy. Sade and I had opted to stay apart last night just to make the day a little more special. Her mother had insisted on it, and I was happy to go along with the plan.I had yet to see Sade’s dress. She refused to give me any details about it and often teased it was a red dress. I told her to wear whatever she wanted, but I was secretly hoping for something traditional.I walked into position in front of the archway, which was actually a pergola covered in lush green ferns at the English Garden in Wolf Lakes Park. Sade and I had searched for the perfect place to hold the ceremony. It had taken Khloe’s very impressive negotiat
Dive in Deep I Want to Watch
SadeI didn’t have to ask where he wanted me to go. My body responded just as he demanded. I moaned, loud and low in my throat as the orgasm flooded my body. I jerked and spasmed against him, my hips grinding against his hand as he held me close.He stepped back and gently turned me to face the bed. The damn thing was so high, it hit me about mid-thigh. I moved to lift my leg to climb on the bed when he stopped me.“Lie across the bed,” he ordered, his voice thick with desire.I did as he said, lying face down on the bed, my feet on the floor, my ass exposed. His hands caressed over both cheeks before he slid one hand between my thighs. I felt the finger part my swollen folds and held my breath, waiting for that first penetration.When his finger slid inside me, I moaned with pleasure. He pulled the finger out and replaced it with his swollen cock. He slid in slowly, one hand on my back and the other holding my hip. I didn’t want to move. Everything felt so good.I could feel the hair
Dive in Deep Naked
SadeI said my goodbyes to Khloe and Holly and went in search of Trent. I checked the back patio where I had seen him last. He wasn’t there. I drifted down the hall and spotted him in his office, sitting at his desk. He looked a little tired, but I hoped he wasn’t too tired. I had plans for him and his body.“Hey, husband of mine,” I said, startling him.He looked up from the laptop and smiled. “Hey, wife of mine.”“So, the house is empty. We’re alone, like really alone, for the first time in our new house with that big ol’ bed. Why aren’t we naked?”He grinned and closed the laptop. He got up from his chair and made his way toward me. His limp was noticeable as he moved. I imagined the strain of the day was catching up to him. I didn’t dare offer to wait until he was feeling better or comment on the knee at all. He didn’t need me reminding him of his injury.He reached for me, yanking my hips against his lower body, and kissed me soundly. I kissed him back, giving him all I had. My t
Dive in Deep One of a Kind
TrentI burst into laughter. “No!”Khloe nodded. “Yes. Me and the saleswoman had to talk him out of it.”“It wasn’t a real bear,” I protested.“All the same, it was ugly and just looked scary,” Khloe said.“I’m glad you opted for the other one,” Sade said.“Me too,” I agreed.Leia came bounding in through the doggy door I had put in for her. Her tongue lolled out of her mouth, and she had a huge smile on her face. She loved the backyard. I gave her a piece of pizza crust, which she eagerly chomped down and waited for more. After we had stuffed our faces with as much pizza as we could take, I went outside with Leia to check out the new deck furniture.The ladies joined me, marveling at the view and the massive backyard.“When did this get here?” Sade asked, looking at the furniture and the table set.I grimaced. “Yesterday.”She burst into laughter. “You’re dangerous with a credit card and a computer.”I held up a hand. “Technically, this was on Khloe.”Sade spun around. “What? You did
Dive in Deep Moving Day
TrentI was humming with energy. I had never been so damn excited in all my life. In my eyes, it was the first day of the rest of my life. Sure, I had plenty of those first days, but now it was really the first day. It was going to be the first day in our new house with all of our new things and our new marriage. It was like I had been waiting my entire life for this one day to happen.Now that it was finally here, I could hardly contain my excitement. I had kept poor Sade up until two o’clock packing. We’d called in reinforcements. Holly and Khloe were both carrying boxes to load into the three waiting cars.“Are you sure I can’t hire a rental truck?” I complained.“No, I don’t have anything that big,” Sade said again. “It’s just boxes. It will be faster to load everything in the cars and make one trip.”I wanted to whine and complain that it wasn’t going fast enough. Unfortunately, my leg had been acting up, and walking up and down the stairs proved to be too much.“I can hire mover
Dive in Deep Frantic
Sade“Thank you for worrying about me, but I promise I’m going to be okay,” I assured Trent.He leaned down and kissed my forehead. Khloe came out of the bedroom dressed in an outfit that showcased all of her assets. Her makeup was heavy, and she looked like she was ready to have a good time.“I’m outta here!” she said. “You kids behave yourselves, and don’t have sex on that couch. If that couch is staying here with me, I don’t want to be sitting where you guys have done it.”I grinned, giving her a sweet angelic smile. “How do you know we haven’t already done it on this couch?”Trent nearly choked.She wrinkled up her nose. “Gross.”“Bye!” I said, waving at her as she walked out the door.We waited a few minutes, making sure she wasn’t going to come back in. Trent nearly threw me off his lap as he got to his feet. He was hauling me to the bedroom with such haste, I nearly tripped over my own feet.It was a frantic joining, both of us tearing off our clothes and falling onto the bed.
Dive in Deep An Eye-Opener
SadeI went to work a little earlier than usual to try and catch up on the latest about what had happened the day before. It was a bit of a madhouse. Reps from various agencies were present, as well as bigwigs from the head of the company I worked for. Everyone wanted to know what happened. Everything and everyone were under scrutiny.I knew I wasn’t in trouble, but I still felt like there were a lot of eyes focused on the new girl. I kept my head down and concentrated on my work, doublechecking everything I did to make sure I didn’t make any mistakes. Holly was quiet as well. We were both doing what we could not to draw any attention to ourselves.All I could think about was getting home to Trent. I felt like I had nearly blown it with my little freak out over money. It was hard to accept so much from him. My dad was fiercely independent, never accepting a handout from anyone and making damn sure he expected the same from me.We’d always had what we needed, and I didn’t think I had e
Dive in Deep Joy
TrentI kept my thoughts to myself and finished making dinner. We sat down to eat, the tension thick in the room. It reminded me of the hours and minutes before a big thunderstorm hit. You could feel it in the air. You knew it was coming, but you didn’t know when that first boom of thunder would ring out.“I’m going to lay down,” Khloe said, clearing away her plate and quickly making her escape.She obviously sensed it as well. I knew our first fight was coming. I just wasn’t sure how big the fight was going to be or what it was going to be about. I couldn’t think of anything that had happened that would result in a fight. We’d had a minor disagreement about who was going to pay for what, but I was confident it had been settled.“I’m tired as well,” Sade announced and stood up.She quickly cleared away everything except my plate in front of me. I was definitely in hot water. I dreaded hearing it, but I needed to know what was going on. I didn’t like the tension between us. I finished
