Dive in Deep Alternative Universe
TrentMira teared up a little. “Stop. I was only doing my job.”I slowly shook my head. “No, you did a lot more than that. You were kind to me. You helped me that time when I hurt my leg and was laid up in bed for days. You didn’t have to do that, and you did it without me asking. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me over the last couple of years, and I am truly going to miss you.”“Thank you. I’ll miss seeing your face around as well, and that big ugly dog.”Sade laughed. “I have a feeling Leia will be picking up some frequent flyer miles as well.”I nodded. “Indeed. Leia is going to miss the beach, but I know she’s going to love the property we’ll be living in.”“Thank you again for letting me stay at the house. I promise I won’t throw any wild parties.”I scoffed. “As if you would.”“Hey, you don’t know my wild side. I do have a wild side.”I laughed. “Sure, you do. A wild side that includes knitting a scarf with wild colors.”She grinned. “You do know me.”I ordered the best
Dive in Deep Sacrifices
SadeI stretched out on the lounge chair on the back patio and watched Leia race around the backyard. I had the stark realization that this would be one of the last times we were there. I knew there would be plenty of visits, but it wouldn’t be the same as actually staying there.I was excited and sad at the same time. I knew Trent was anxious to settle down in Fresno but hoped he wasn’t rushing things. I didn’t want him to have regrets. I knew he loved living in Lake Tahoe and loved the water.He came out of the house to sit down on the chair next to mine. He was shirtless and wearing only a pair of basketball shorts. We had both decided to spend a leisurely morning before heading back to Fresno. He smiled at me.“It’s a nice day,” he commented.“It’s a beautiful day. Are you sure you want to leave this?”He pushed up his sunglasses. “I am absolutely sure. Wherever you are is where I want to be.”“Why haven’t you asked me to move here?” I asked.“Do you want to move here?” he asked w
Dive in Deep That's A Dog
SadeHe had more money than most people in the world, and yet he acted like he was just like everyone else. He didn’t talk down to anyone, and he always asked instead of ordering people about. I admired him. He’d had some tough times, but he had overcome.“You’re looking at me funny,” he commented.I smiled. “I’m sorry. I was just admiring you. You’re an amazing man, and I can’t believe you’re mine.”“I am yours. I will always be yours.”I knew he was telling the truth. Trent was the kind of man who loved forever. He would never cheat on me or walk away from me. I knew that in my very soul.I settled into the seat, my hand idly rubbing over Leia’s head. When we touched down, there was a car waiting for us. I nearly burst into laughter at the look on the driver’s face. Trent hadn’t yet hired a permanent driver, nor had he bought a car for the driver to use. The car waiting for us was a nice town car with all the perks.“I didn’t realize you had a dog,” the man said, looking at Leia.“I
Dive in Deep Hard No
TrentI had been up since five. I was anxious for the day. It was like a kid going to Disneyland for the first time. Sade came out of the room, dressed in her usual scrubs, her hair pulled back in a ponytail.“Hi!” I said, a little too perky after three cups of coffee.She stopped walking and looked at me. “You look like you’re spun out. Like you’re about to burst at the seams.”I grinned. “I am. I’m excited.”She laughed. “I can see that.”She gave me a kiss that started out as one of those quickie goodbye kisses and then transformed into something much more enthusiastic.“You better go,” I said breathlessly. “Otherwise, I’m going to drag you right back into that bedroom and bury myself deep inside you.”She stepped back, her hand on my chest. “I see many late days in my future.”I winked. “So do I.”She laughed, patted Leia on the head, and grabbed her purse and lunchbox before heading out the door to work. I felt a little guilty that she had to work every day while Khloe and I hung
Dive in Deep Sade Approved
Trent“All right, we need a dining room set,” I said, my eye catching on a rich mahogany set.I ran my palm over the smooth, glossy surface of a table that sat eight.“That’s a little big, don’t you think?” Khloe commented.I shook my head. “Nope. I plan on hosting lots of get togethers and dinners. I want enough seating for everyone. I’ll get a small table for the kitchen nook, but this is perfect for the dining room.”Khloe shrugged a shoulder. “You heard the man. Add it to the list.”The woman was practically beaming. She seemed nice enough, and during our visit, we had learned she was a single mom of three. I liked being able to ensure she was going to get a fat commission check. She said she needed to do back-to-school shopping. The sale she was going to make off of me should help with that.We spent about three hours at the store and essentially furnished the entire house, including a guest bedroom and my home office. There were still plenty of other things we would need, like k
Dive in Deep Evacuated
SadeIt was getting harder and harder to go to work and leave Trent at home. I wanted to hang out with him and spend the day making our house into a home. I knew he would tell me I didn’t have to work. I knew he would be more than willing to support me, but I couldn’t do it. I loved my job—most of the time.I was deep into a series of slides when a loud alarm sounded. I jumped up and looked around, wondering what the hell was happening. A red light on the ceiling began to flash. I tried to remember back to the days of my orientation to remember what it all meant. Red couldn’t be a good thing.“What’s going on?” I asked Holly.She grabbed my hand and began walking with me to the breakroom. “Grab your purse. We have to go.”“What?”“We’re being evacuated. Technically, we shouldn’t be stopping for our purses, but the last time this happened, we weren’t allowed back in the building for an entire day. Our keys, phones, everything was in the breakroom.”We weren’t the only ones rushing into
Dive in Deep So Many Choices
SadeTrent and I left Leia in the care of Khloe and headed for my car. I liked driving it and was happy for the excuse to go anywhere. Trent gave me the name of the store we were going to, and the GPS system guided me there.“Wow,” I said with true wonder as we stepped through the doors. “This is so much stuff.”“I’ll grab a cart,” Trent said. “You should probably get one as well.”I laughed nervously. I knew the way the man could shop. I wasn’t about to let him pay for everything and had already decided I would be offering up at least half of the money. We started in the kitchen department, although walking past the throw pillows was difficult. They were so pretty!“Keurig or drip machine?” I asked as we stood in the aisle, scanning the options.“I think Keurig is more practical for our busy schedules.”I agreed. My shopping method was to look for the lowest priced item and go with it. Not Trent. He read each box and weighed the pros and cons, and almost every time, he ended up wanti
Dive in Deep Need Help?
TrentI carried in the last bag from the car and put it down in the middle of the floor. The kitchen counters were filled with bags and boxed appliances. Sade had disappeared down the hall and had to come back into the main living room.She’d been very quiet on the drive over, and other than the brief conversation when we first arrived, she had said very little since. I could feel something was off. She didn’t have that spring in her step, and the excitement about unloading our haul wasn’t there. I was thrilled to have just about everything we needed to move in.She came back into the kitchen and rummaged through some bags. “I’ll put these in the bathroom,” she said without looking directly at me.“Is everything okay?” I asked.“Yes, fine,” she answered. “Do you want to do the kitchen or start in the bedroom?”She was being very curt, like we were on a mission and she was completely focused on that mission. We were moving into a home together. I was expecting a little more enthusiasm.

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
