“Did you take care of the stuff you needed to for the new hotel?” I asked him.

He smiled. “Not all of it, but I did delegate some of it to Richie.”

Richie made a face. “Yes, while you’ve been playing hooky all week, one of us had to actually work.”

“Sorry about that,” I answered, feeling a little guilty.

“Don’t be sorry,” Richie said. “It’s good for the old fart. If he wasn’t with you, he’d be at home with that damn drooling dog of his.”

“Leia does not drool,” Trent replied in a haughty tone. “She has excess saliva.”

We all burst into laughter.

“I think Leia is awesome,” I said. “She’s a good girl.”

“She’s a slobbering girl,” Richie said with a laugh. “It’s about time he found a woman that won’t drool on him.”

“If you’re referring to me, I do tend to get a little drooly after a few drinks,” I joked.

“She isn’t lying,” Julia said dryly.

“Hey!” I protested.

She shrugged a shoulder. “You said it.”

“You could have said I didn’t, like a real friend,” I said with a playful scowl.

    TrentI had been like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning all damn day. I was anxious for my night alone with Sade—truly alone. No parties, no friends, no public. Just me and her. I hated that it was our last night together. I kept pushing the thought from my mind, focusing on the evening ahead and trying to remind myself to be positive and not focused on the negative.I left work early and was on my way home. I could feel energy buzzing through me. My feet were tapping the floorboard in the backseat of the car, anxious to get home, shower, change, and check on the preparations for our romantic dinner in.After giving the matter some thought last night, I had decided to go all out and order in. I wanted her all to myself. I wanted to be able to kiss her whenever I felt like it without worrying about who was watching and what would be gossiped about the following day.“You okay back there?” Bentley asked, looking in the rearview mirror.I grinned and nodded. “I am.

    Trent“What did you order?” Sade asked, following me into the kitchen.“Italian. I hope that’s okay?”“I love pasta. I am not one of those girls who denies herself the sheer joy of pasta because it’s a carb. I like carbs.” “Good. I do as well. I ordered a lasagna that I’ve had before, and it’s great. I’ll pour us some wine. Do you want to eat now, or would you prefer to wait?” I hoped for the first.“I’m good to eat now,” she said with a shrug.“Great. Have a seat at the table, and I’ll bring it out.”“No, I can help,” she insisted.“I got it. You’re my guest.”She paused at the glass doors and turned to look at me. “Where’s Leia?”“In bed for the night,” I answered. “I wanted us to have a chance to be alone—really alone. Leia can be a little invasive.”She smiled. “I don’t mind her. I truly do like her.”“I know you do, and I’m glad for that, but tonight is about me and you,” I told her, letting her see the heat in my eyes.“Can I pour the wine?” she asked softly.“Please.”She came

  • Dive in Deep   Telling Him the Truth

    SadeI had to tell him. It wasn’t a secret I could keep if I was going to do this with him.My stomach was twisting and turning with nervousness while the rest of my body was humming with excitement at the very idea of what was to come. I did want him. I had made up my mind I was ready to take this next step with him, but I couldn’t do it and not tell him the situation. I wasn’t sure if he would know, but I had a feeling he’d figure it out.We walked into the house, and he started to move toward a hallway I assumed would lead to his bedroom. It was now or never. I knew once things got started, there was no turning back. I didn’t want him to think I was duping him.I took a deep breath and pulled his hand, telling him to stop. He turned to look at me, concern and what I thought was disappointment on his face.“Sade?”“I need to tell you something,” I started.“What is it?” he asked, dropping my hand.I bit my bottom lip, suddenly very embarrassed. “I’ve never done this before.”He nodd

    Sade“Trent,” I moaned his name.“Shh, just let it go. It’s going to make what comes next a lot easier. Let go. Give in to the need.” His mouth moved to kiss my neck.His finger kept moving, sliding in and out, making my body slick with need. I could feel a strange, beautiful spiral of deliciousness spreading out over my limbs, making me gasp and moan. I moved my hand to his back, scraping my nails down his flesh and squeezing one very nice chunk of ass. I felt him jerk, his erection pressing against me through his underwear.“I’ve got to take these off.” He moved his mouth away from my neck and pushed my panties down.I lifted my butt, letting him take them off before I pushed his underwear down. If I was naked, he was going to be naked. I needed to see exactly what I was getting myself into, or rather, what was getting into me.I looked down, my eyes widening when I saw just what it was I was dealing with. I reached out, wrapped my hand around the girth, and gently squeezed. He suck

    TrentI wanted to treat her like a queen and serve her breakfast in bed. Breakfast was the one meal I couldn’t screw up as long as I kept it simple. Thankfully, a simple breakfast of toast, eggs, and bacon was perfect for her. I knew she would love it.I checked the clock as I padded down the hall to my massive kitchen. I had pulled on a pair of underwear and nothing more. I hadn’t wanted to risk waking her.I started some coffee first before rummaging around in the fridge and finding eggs and bacon. I carried them to the stove and grabbed a pan from the hanging rack. I hated having to say goodbye. I knew she had a life to get back to, or get started rather. I would love for her to stay, but I couldn’t ask her to give up the job she’d been working hard to get.We’d been up late last night, and while I would love to let her sleep in, she had to get back to the hotel and checkout. Her flight left shortly after. Leave it to me to fall for a girl I couldn’t have.I carefully laid some bac

    TrentI pulled up my emails and read one from my accountant before moving on. I had been working about an hour when I heard a knock on my door.“Come in,” I called out, expecting Ashley to come in.“Hi, am I interrupting you?” Sade’s voice filled the room.I jumped to my feet. “No. Sorry. I didn’t expect you so soon.”“Are you busy?”“No, definitely not. Come in.” She opened the door, allowing Julia and Khloe to enter as well.“Hi,” Julia said, flashing me a smile.“Hello, ladies. Are you guys all checked out?” I gestured for them to sit.I took a seat on the opposite couch, Sade sitting next to me. “We are.”“What time does your flight leave?” I asked.“We’re all on different flights, but we leave around the same time,” Khloe answered.“How long?” I asked.“A couple of hours before we have to take the airport shuttle,” Sade replied.I nodded. “Why don’t we get some lunch in the restaurant? My treat. I’ll have Bentley take you to the airport, save you the hassle of riding the shuttle

    SadeI was exhausted and mentally drained. And a little depressed. It had been a short flight home, but when I’d gotten to my new condo, I had taken one look at all the boxes that needed unpacking and decided against it. I was in no mood for anything.Instead, I had left my mattress on the floor, made my makeshift bed, and texted Trent. I felt bad and a little happy when he told me he had gone home for the day. He was feeling down as well.After texting with him and the girls, I had curled up and gone to sleep. The night before had left me exhausted. I had unpacked a few of the kitchen boxes so far that morning. It felt strange to put things where I wanted without worrying about what a roommate would think.It was the first time I was completely on my own in the world. I felt terribly alone. Khloe was in San Francisco and Julia in Los Angeles. I knew no one in Fresno. It was just me.I found my Bluetooth speaker and put on some music, needing to fill the silence. I kept telling myself

    SadeI was hungry, and I had nothing to eat. I searched through the pile of boxes until I found my purse and a matching pair of shoes. Then, I was out the door to do a little exploration of my new neighborhood. I had chosen the condo because it was within walking distance to everything. I planned on buying a car soon, but in the meantime, I was relying on my feet and public transportation.The walk reminded me of Trent. Hell, everything reminded me of Trent. If I was with him, he would have insisted his driver take me around. I can’t say I minded being spoiled. It had been nice. I saw a grocery store across the street and jogged over. I was going to eat my feelings—just for tonight, I promised myself.I picked up a pint of ice cream, a Lean Cuisine, and some granola, something else that reminded me of Trent. I tossed a few more things in my basket, including coffee for the morning, before checking out. Then, it was another lonely walk back home. Back home where I would sit in my condo

    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

    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

    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
