Trent

I knew I’d dropped a bit of a bombshell on her. My declaration that I wanted to try a long-distance relationship was likely very unexpected.

We’d known each other a week. That was it. But to me, it felt like I had known her for years. It was as if my soul recognized hers. I knew her inside and out. I was the first man to touch her. That had to count for something.

I studied her face. She was shocked. I wasn’t necessarily trying to get her drunk, but she’d downed her wine and looked like she could use another glass. I held up my hand to get the waiter’s attention and ordered two more glasses of wine. Judging by the look on her face, I had a feeling I was going to need the alcohol to dull the blow she was about to deal me.

“Sade?” I said her name, checking the pulse of the situation.

“Um,” she murmured, not looking me in the eyes.

“Did I freak you out?”

“What?” she asked, her voice high-pitched and clearly nervous. “Freak me out? Freak me out about what?”

“I’m sorry to have surpri

    TrentWe ordered the typical steak dinner with smothered baked potatoes. I was hungry and was hoping the food was as good as it sounded. “How was your first day really?” I asked her.She grinned. “Boring as hell,” she said bluntly.I laughed. “I hate the first day anywhere. All the blah, blah, blah. I wonder if anyone ever pays attention to the same, boring speech that every company gives on the first day. With my hotels, I thought I could skip that whole boring orientation garbage, but it is a necessary evil. Even though the questions that are covered in the orientation are always brought up again and again.”“It wasn’t terrible. I’m just anxious to get started with the good stuff. I want to put all those years of school to work. I have to or I’m going to forget everything I learned.” She laughed.“I doubt that,” I said with full confidence in her. “You’re a smart lady. I think you’ll be running the lab in no time.”“Thank you. I hope you’re right. How about you? Did you get the new

    SadeI couldn’t believe he was standing in my bedroom. Even more impressive was the fact he wanted to have a relationship with me. Me! The man was gorgeous, rich, and incredibly sexy, and he wanted me. I was a little weirded out by his extreme wealth, but he hadn’t exactly brought it up, and I wasn’t going to admit I’d Googled him.He didn’t want to talk about it, and it didn’t really make a difference to me. I wasn’t interested in him because of his money. In fact, his money actually bothered me a little. I felt like I couldn’t compete with the people in his life. I quickly shut down that line of thinking. I had the man in front of me, and that was what really mattered.I pushed his shirt open, gently shoving it down his arms and leaving him standing in a plain white shirt that hugged his body. It showed off the muscular chest and arms I had been absolutely gaga about when I first saw him shirtless on his yacht. To think those muscles were mine to touch and kiss and anything else I w

  • Dive in Deep   Taking The Lead

    SadeTrent moved his hips, just a little jerk but enough to send electric shocks radiating through my body. I groaned, arching my back and rotating my hips. I heard him mutter something under his breath. I was sure it was something like fuck, but I couldn’t be sure.“Baby, I am so hard for you.”“I feel that,” I moaned.I began to move, sliding back and forth. His hands rested on my hips, letting me control the speed. I liked feeling in control. I was a novice in the sex department, but I knew he would let me learn, with him teaching me all the tricks. He would tell me what was right and what was not. He wouldn’t laugh at me if I messed up.“So good,” he moaned. “You feel so good.”“I like this,” I told him, rubbing my hands over his chest.“Want to go faster?” he asked.I smiled. “Do you want me to go faster?”“You do whatever makes you feel good,” he answered.I picked up the pace, testing my skills as I moved faster and faster. I started moving so fast, my breasts bounced up and do

  • Dive in Deep   Mr. Nice Guy

    TrentI hadn’t been this stressed out since I’d first learned I was no longer going to be able to serve in the military after my injury. I remembered how I had felt in that moment. I was convinced my world was ending.It didn’t end. Things got better, and I was the first to admit I had bounced back just fine. Better than fine. I was on top of the world until I’d gotten the phone call on Tuesday morning that everything had gone to hell in a handbasket.I’d woken up early and made Sade breakfast before sending her off to work. It had been so good, so natural and normal. I felt domesticated and completely settled.I had been planning my next trip, thinking about how I could work from her condo in order to give myself an extra day with her. It was possible. I just had to figure out the logistics. Richie would complain, but I’d give him a bigger bonus or pay him more to get him on board.Then he’d called, and the shit hit the fan. Some jackass kid showed up with an attorney, claiming he wa

    TrentI shook my head. “Nope. I told Richie I planned on being in bed for the next two days and not to disturb me unless the damn thing was burning down, and even then, there wouldn’t be shit I could do about it, so don’t call me.”“In bed, huh?” She grinned.I nodded. “Yes, in bed. I want you in bed, under me, over me, in front of me, every which way. I don’t want to leave this house. We can order in anything we might need. The fridge is stocked, the freezer is stocked, and I don’t see any reason for us to leave. We only get two days together, and I damn well plan on taking advantage of every minute.”She leaned up on her toes and rubbed her breasts against my chest as she kissed me on the lips. “Take advantage of me, you mean,” she whispered.I reached around and gave her ass a good squeeze. “Yes, exactly.”“Thank you for clearing your schedule for me,” she said as I led her inside.“It’s what I wanted. I wish it could be for longer. I want to spend an entire week with you. Hell, a

  • Dive in Deep   Comfy Night In

    SadeI felt refreshed after my shower, but I was still in the mood to just be comfortable. Trent and I had never really had a night in. I knew I was probably skipping about twenty relationship steps, but I was jumping right to sweats and no makeup and a lazy night in.I felt a little guilty about not getting dressed up for him, but I promised myself I would make it up to him tomorrow. I was exhausted. It had been a long week, and I was really looking forward to a night in of cuddling and just hanging out. Maybe I was getting old. I laughed to myself. He was already in his thirties, so hopefully he was into the chill nights.“I hope so,” I mumbled, padding down the hall in my thick socks, my plaid pajama bottoms, and the super-soft cotton tank top I loved to sleep in. I had put my hair up on top of my head and felt very natural. I knew the girls would kill me if they could see me just then, but I was not one to dress to impress. I liked comfort, and if he wanted to try a relationship,

  • Dive in Deep   It's All His Fault

    SadeWhen I awoke, I was floating through the air. I blinked several times, trying to orientate myself to my surroundings. It was Trent’s warm chest against my cheek that calmed me. “What are we doing?” I mumbled.“I’m taking you to bed,” he whispered.My eyes opened, and I realized he was carrying me. “Trent, I can walk. Your leg.”“My leg is fine,” he assured me. “We’re almost there.”He gently put me on the bed and pulled the covers up and over me. I was so tired, and his bed was so lovely. I tried to force my eyes open, knowing what came next. I was looking forward to being with him, but I just couldn’t seem to keep my eyes from shutting.His large, hard body slid in next to mine as he pulled me into his arms. Once again, I tried to open my eyes before giving up the fight, figuring I didn’t need my eyes open for sex. I ran my hand over his bare thigh and smiled.He kissed my cheek. “Shh, go to sleep.”“Don’t you want to?” I asked in a soft voice, heavy with sleep.“I want to, but

  • Dive in Deep   Out on the Water

    TrentI had every intention of staying in bed all weekend, but I realized I was not the type, and neither was Sade. She’d stared out the window almost the entire time we were eating breakfast, commenting on how beautiful the water was. It was a gorgeous, perfect day. Too perfect to spend inside tucked away in a stuffy room all day.“Feel like going out on the boat?” I asked her.She looked at me. “Really?”“Why not? It’s beautiful out there. I’ll throw some stuff together, and we can go.”“I think I’d like that,” she said with a laugh. “I brought my suit. I wasn’t sure if I would need it.”I laughed. “You don’t need it, but I suppose there is a good chance we’ll run into other boaters out there.”She giggled, blushing prettily. “I don’t think I’m ready to go flashing my assets for the world to see.”“I know I’m sure as hell not ready for you to flash anyone,” I growled.She helped me clean up before we headed back to my room to change into our swimsuits. I called and had the boat brou

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

    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

    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?

    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

    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

    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
