Dive in Deep She's Here
TrentI made my way through the crowd of people hovering in the open living area that overlooked the back deck and the lake. Mira was giving me the look from the dining room. I knew she had something to say, and I was trying to get to her, but I kept getting stopped along the way by guests that wanted to chat about the weather, compliment my house, or ask about business.I excused myself and almost made a clean break for the kitchen where Mira had disappeared to when Richie grabbed my arm.“Where are you going?” he asked in a low voice.“I need to talk to Mira,” I said irritably. “She’s been trying to get my attention for the last fifteen minutes.” “You need to be nice to your guests,” he said quietly. “These are some of the major players in the area. You’ll want them on your good side. That guy over there owns one of the top ski resorts. We want him to send us his overflow.” I groaned. “That’s what you’re here for. I don’t do this whole schmoozing thing well. I need to check with M
Dive in Deep Make Her Stay
Trent“Hi,” Julia said, looking up at me with a big smile.“Hi,” I said, startling Sade. Her head whipped around, looking up at me with surprise.“Hi,” she stammered, her cheeks blushing again.I liked how often she blushed. I kicked off my shoes, rolled up my pant legs, and sat down beside Sade. “Enjoying yourself?” I asked her.She nodded. “Yes, thank you.”I noticed her glass was empty. I pulled my feet out of the pool and stood up before waving at one of the waiters moving through the crowd with a tray filled with glasses of wine. I took the entire tray and carried it back to the edge of the pool.“Here you go.” I balanced the tray on one hand and handed her a glass before offering glasses to her friends.“Thank you,” Khloe said, grinning. “You are a full-service host.” “I try,” I said with a wink, taking one of the glasses and sitting back down beside Sade.“Have you lived here long?” Julia asked.I shrugged a shoulder. “About two years.”“Is that how long you’ve owned the hotel
Dive in Deep Getting to Know Him
Sade“He’s going to come back,” Julia said, sitting beside me at the table we had found near the edge of the patio.I took a bite of the pasta I had scooped on my plate at the buffet. “He has an entire house full of guests. He’s not coming back.”“Yes, he will,” Khloe said. “He’s into you.” “Why? Why would he be into me? Did you see the blonde? I’m positive she’s a model. I think I’ve seen her on billboards. That’s who he is going to want to hang out with. He’s just a nice guy.” I shrugged a shoulder.“Girl, you don’t see how pretty you are,” Julia said with a firm nod. “He does. I assure you. I saw the way he was looking at you. We both did. He is so into you, and I think he will absolutely find you.”I wasn’t sure I wanted him to find me. I felt like such a bumbling idiot whenever he was around. He was gorgeous, and I felt truly flattered he had talked to me at all, but I wasn’t foolish enough to believe he was going to choose me out of all the women roaming about.“What if he’s th
Dive in Deep Stay
SadeI looked at Trent, smiled, and shook my head. “I don’t really dance. At least, not in public.”His deep chuckle vibrated around me. “Me either. I look like an octopus. On ice.”I burst into laughter, slapping my hand over my mouth. “Oh my god. That image.” I shook my head.“Sorry, but I have no coordination,” he said. “I can shoot straight and pack an eighty-pound ruck, but damn if I can get my feet to dance. Or my body.” “I know what you mean. I feel like a walrus when I’m out there.” I laughed.“No way. You would look hot. Is there any way I can convince you to get out there and shake your thang?” He waggled his brows.I shook my head. “Definitely not. That is never going to happen. Not when I’m sober at least.”“Hmm, that sounds like a challenge.”My eyes widened. “No. I’m not getting wasted enough to dance like I’m alone in my apartment.”He had a sparkle in his eye, a look of pure mischief. We talked and drank and talked some more. He showed no interest in anyone else. He m
Dive in Deep Playing Hooky
TrentI was sitting in the breakfast nook, the sun streaming through the window as I sipped strong coffee. Leia was laying on my feet, softly snoring.She was not a morning dog. I had kept her up and out much later than I ever had before. The poor dog was beat. I had a feeling she would sleep all day while I was at work.I looked around the area and was impressed to see it was impeccable. Mira had hired extra housecleaners to clean up after the party. They’d already been in and gone, leaving the house completely spotless.I was impressed by their efficiency. There was almost no hint there had been a party in the house at all. Except for the three lovely ladies passed out in one of my guest rooms.Everyone else had declined my offer to stay the night. Sade had only agreed because her friends encouraged her, and I had a feeling her friends went along with it because they were hoping something would happen between Sade and me.I couldn’t say I didn’t share their hopes, but it wasn’t mean
Dive in Deep It's a Yacht
Trent“Good morning, ladies,” I said in a cheery voice.“He’s perky,” Julia grumbled. “I forgot to mention that. He’s like a Khloe two point oh.”Khloe smiled. “Ignore them. They’re cranky first thing in the morning. Not me. I love the morning.”“And that’s why we hate you,” Sade mumbled.“I’ve got coffee,” I said. “Everyone have some coffee before you start clawing at each other.”They all laughed, telling me their squabbling was normal. Julia helped herself to more bacon, grabbing a maple bar and a banana as well. Khloe went after the fruit and a bagel. I noticed Sade only grabbed a banana and a few pieces of fruit and a small scoop of granola before taking a seat at the table.“Do you want to go back to the hotel before we head out on the boat?” I asked them.They looked at each other. “We’ve got our bathing suits. I don’t think we need anything else.”“Perfect. I’ll make a call and be right back.” I excused myself from the room.I returned a few minutes later to find Leia had move
Dive in Deep Dive In
SadeI stretched out on the chair, my sunglasses on as I absorbed the sun’s rays. I would normally be working on my tan, but I was not about to parade around in my bathing suit with him watching.I had caught him looking at me—a lot. Julia and Khloe were convinced it was because he was into me. I was worried he wanted to eat me and was trying to figure out what part of me to chop off first. He had a very hungry look in his eyes.I had moved my chair under the guise of wanting better sun, but in reality, it was so I could watch him without being obvious. I had slightly better manners than he did obviously. He had no qualms about openly staring and ogling, but my parents had taught me better than that.“What do you think he’s thinking?” I asked Julia, keeping my voice low.She shrugged. “Well, he’s a man. I would guess sex, sex, food, and sex.”I groaned. “Thanks.”“Relax,” Khloe said. “I’m not getting any bad vibes from him. He seems like a good guy. Maybe he’s lonely. I’m sure it woul
Dive in Deep Like A Hawk
SadeI shook my head. “No way. You go.”“All right,” she said with a giggle before plugging her nose and jumping overboard. Her head popped up through the surface and she smiled. “Come on. How many times are you going to get the chance to go swimming off a yacht in Lake Tahoe?”Khloe pulled off her sunglasses and dropped them on a lounge chair. “I’m coming.”“I’ll be here, ready to toss in the floatie to save you,” I told her.She took a few steps back and ran. I stood on the edge of the boat, watching them frolic in the water. It looked too good. They were having a blast, and I was sitting on the deck, missing out on what was obviously a good time because I was too self-conscious of my figure.“Fuck it,” I muttered. I undid my shorts and stepped out of them before yanking off my shirt and jumping in without thinking twice about it.When I resurfaced, Trent was there, staring at me again. This time, I knew what I was seeing. It was pure lust. I stared at him, offering him a coy smile.
