Trenton's Terms by Kelley Nyrae Read Free Book Online

decision to accompany him rafting, but also knowing that no matter what, she would go. She wanted to go.
    "I don't know, Abbs. I really want to go. That's the part that scares me. I shouldn't want to go this badly."
    Abby sat silent for a minute before replying. “Why not? What's wrong with wanting to enjoy yourself with an extremely sexy man? Hell, every woman I know would kill to be in your place."
    "Yeah, who wouldn't want to fall for a man who only wants to get you into bed before he splits out of your life forever? Sounds like every woman's dream to me.” She knew she sounded bitter, but did care. She was bitter. The only man to touch her, to really move her would only be a temporary fixture in her life and there wasn't a damn thing she could do about it.
    "Don't be so dramatic, Sid. Take life as it comes. You never know, it just might turn out better than you think it will."
    Easy for her to say. Abby didn't fear anything. Never had. She knew how to cut off her emotions when she needed too, something Sid herself never learned. Where Sidney took more things to heart, Abby lived more freely. She didn't fear letting her heart get involved because she just didn't work that way. Not that she slept around, but Abby would have no problem indulging in a quickie and then sending Trenton on his way.
    "I know I need to lighten up, Abbs. That's why I'm going tomorrow. I want to have a good time with Trenton, I'm just scared about how it will turn out."
    "Don't be. It will all work out in the end."
    She only wished she could be so sure.

Chapter Six
    Trenton flipped his cell phone closed after getting directions to Sidney's house. He threw a black t-shirt over his head before running a hand through his short black hair, still wet from the shower. Grabbing his keys off the bedside table, Trenton slipped them into his blue jean shorts pocket and headed out to pick up his date.
    His date. Damn, who'd have thought? First he stalked a woman he didn't even know to her hometown insisting that she bed him, now here he was picking her up for their second date. What the hell am I doing here? Having sex was never this much work. He didn't like complicated women. He wanted someone who was out to have a good time and that's it.
    If that's true, why can't I get Sidney out of my head?
    Trenton turned his car down Oak Street watching all the little children run and play as he went. Husbands stood in their yards doing work, fixing cars, women gardened and fed cats on their porches. His neighborhood in Los Angeles wasn't anything like this. Georgia was. For the first time since he left, he missed it.
    He pulled his car into the driveway of the last house on the left just as Sidney told him to. It was a small, modest home painted a cheery yellow with flowers gracing the front porch. It fits her, he thought as he got out of the car and headed to the house.
    "Hey,” Sidney said, opening the door before he had the chance to knock.
    "Miss me that much, Sugar?” he asked teasing her about answering the door so soon. He only hoped she was as eager to see him as she seemed.
    Sidney's cheeks blushed lightly. “No, I just don't want to give you the opportunity to invite yourself in. Otherwise I might never get you out again."
    "Are you saying I'm pushy?” he leaned against her door frame.
    "You? No way!” Sidney smiled making his heart skip a beat. What the hell was that? That's never happened before?
    "I don't call it pushy, Sid. More like strong-willed, determined. I'm very determined when I want something.” He leaned in towards her, “And if you haven't noticed, I want you. I want to seduce you, want you panting my name while we have hot, sweaty, grinding sex."
    Once more he leaned down so his mouth was a mere inch from her ear, “I think you want me too, Sid. I can see it in your eyes, hear it in your heavy breathing, the pulse in your throat is pounding with every word I speak.” Trenton grabbed a blonde curl which
