Trenton's Terms by Kelley Nyrae Read Free Book Online Page A

slipped out of the short ponytail she had at the back of her head and pushed it behind her ear. “I like your hair like this. It looks nice.” He nibbled her ear before backing away. “Are you ready to go?"
    Sidney stepped forward. Instead of walking out with him she swung and punched him in the arm.
    Trenton laughed. “You have a nice little swing there, Sid, but that wasn't the response I hoped for."
    "You deserve it! I know what you're trying to do and I want you to know it's not going to work. You may be able to woo all your big city women with that kind of talk but it doesn't work with me."
    Yeah right. “Tell that to your perk, little nipples that are standing to attention. Nice swimsuit by the way.” He hadn't even noticed it before. It wasn't a bikini like he hoped, but she still looked sexy as hell in the black one piece. If he had it his way, she'd lose the cute, little white shorts she wore but it was still slightly chilly out. They had all day to lose the clothes.
    Taking his eyes away from her delectable body he looked her in the eyes and quickly backed away from her again. Trenton held his hands up in surrender. “Hey, don't hit me again. I was just making an observation."
    "You're terribly arrogant, you know that?” she asked with a smile.
    "So I've been told. You like it though. I just wish you'd admit it."
    Sidney leaned in and grabbed a bag from the inside of her house before she stepped out onto the porch with him. “Do you ever give up?"
    "Not until I get what I want. You might as well give in now."
    She started walking down the porch stairs, stopping to turn and look at him over her shoulder. “Okay, I admit it. I like you a little bit. But don't think that means I plan to do anything about it.” Then she walked away toward his waiting car.
    If he thought she was sexy before it was nothing compared to how he felt about her now. She was beautiful, strong, feisty, and she liked him. Hot Damn.

    Sidney couldn't believe she'd just admitted to liking Trenton. Along with the admission came a surge of pride. For the first time she'd been the one to walk away and leave him speechless. He stood on the top of her stairs while she opened the passenger door of his car and got inside. He wasn't taking his eyes off her and damn if it didn't feel good.
    Reaching over she beeped the horn. Finally his long, short clad legs stepped off her porch and headed towards his car. He was masculinity personified. His short, dark hair mussed on his head were such a striking contrast to his ice blue eyes. His body was so long and lean yet his tight, cut muscles constricted, showing his obvious strength.
    Oh God, how was she ever going to keep turning this man down? If he stayed in town much longer she wouldn't be able to. It was inevitable and she knew it. There was something about him that grabbed a hold on her and had yet to let go. She wondered if it ever would let go.
    "Fasten your seat belt, Sid,” Trenton said as he got into the car. “You're in for the ride of your life."
    As soon as he spoke she had a flashback to her reading with Abby. She'd said the exact same thing to her. “That's not the first time I've heard that about you.” The words accidentally slipped out of her mouth as he started the car and began to drive away. She regretted them immediately.
    "What do you mean by that?” he looked worried by her words.
    Smooth move, Sid. How did she fix this one? Somehow she didn't think it would go over real well if she told him Abby gave her a tarot card reading that predicted they would meet. Even though he responded well to what she and Abby did for a living, he didn't seem like the New Age type to her.
    "Um, Abby warned me you'd be a handful the other day after you met at the Boutique, that's all. No big deal."
    "I think Abby can be more of a handful than me."
    "Maybe, but she's not as dangerous as you are."
    He laughed his smooth as honey laugh that set her body on fire. “I resent that. I'm not
