TrentI was running late. Not technically late, but later than my usual time to get to the office. I smiled and nodded at Ashley, who told me I had a call on hold. From the lawyer. That got a fire burning under me. I rushed inside, dropped my briefcase, and reached for my phone before even sitting down.“Trent here,” I answered, a little out of breath.“Trent, good news,” Lance announced.I was afraid to breathe. “What?”“It’s done. I’ve got some paperwork for you to sign, but other than that, it’s a done deal. He went for the offer, and it’s yours!”“No shit?” I breathed out.He chuckled. “No shit. I’ll get the paperwork together. You can come by later today or tomorrow, and we’ll take care of the details.”“Thank you, Lance,” I said, beyond excited. “Seriously, thank you. This is amazing.”We ended the call, and the first thing I did was go in search of Richie. I knew he was going to be excited. It was a huge deal for us. It was really going to put us on the map in the city. I was t

SadeI felt brave, like I was finally in the right place at the right time. I wasn’t shy. Well, I was shy, but not my normal shy. I could talk to him and be flirty with him and not feel like a complete dork. Maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe it was me trusting what Julia and Khloe had been saying—he was into me.“I’ll be right back,” Trent said, leaning down to speak close to my ear. His hot breath washed over me, sending shivers up and down my spine.“I’ll be right here,” I said with a smile.He walked away, moving to talk to a man who looked important. I watched him move, watched the way he swung his arms. He had an easy stride. One of confidence and power.“Well?” Khloe asked after walking over and bumping my hip with her own.“Well, what?” I asked.“How’s it going?” Julia asked. “He seriously only has eyes for you. I want a man who looks at me like that.”“He’s hot, isn’t he?” I asked with a grin.They both gave me dirty looks.“Yes, he is, and we are both incredibly jealous,” Kh

TrentI had known from the moment I saw her I wanted to kiss her. I had thought about what it would be like to feel her lush body against mine and what she would taste like. I pressed my mouth harder against hers, forcing her to part her lips.The second my tongue darted inside, I tasted champagne. It was good and heady and made me feel things I hadn’t felt in a long time. My heart was racing as I pulled her closer to me. I pushed her against the wall outside her door and deepened the kiss.I had only meant to give her a quick, chaste kiss, a promise of more to come later, but the moment our lips touched, everything changed. She was soft and pliable and pushing her body against mine. Her hands were moving up and down my back, and her tongue was dancing with mine in a way that made me want her even more.I couldn’t resist the temptation to feel the curves pressed against me with my hands. I reached up, sliding my hand over one of her very full breasts, and groaned with delight. It was

SadeI groaned, my mind surfacing to a sea of pain. I flung one arm over my eyes, trying to block out whatever it was that had woken me. I didn’t know what time it was, and I didn’t care. My head was pounding, and there was a very icky feeling in my belly.It was only after being totally conscious for about ten seconds I realized my mouth tasted like I had dined on cotton balls. I tried to lick my lips, but I had zero saliva. My tongue felt swollen and gross. I didn’t know if it was possible, but I tasted my tongue. It was not a good taste.“She’s alive!” Khloe shouted.I groaned, pulling the blanket over my head. “Why are you yelling?” “I’m not yelling,” she said. “This is my normal voice.” “You should think about toning that down a notch or two,” I replied.“I need to grab my shoes, and we can go,” Julia said, her tone much softer and easier on the ears.I pushed the blanket down and opened my eyes, the action sending shards of pain through my skull. “Go?” I asked.I looked from K

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
