If it was possible he became even more attractive than he already was. Fear pooled in her stomach. She didn't want to like him but she did. “How do you know I love what I do?
"It's in your voice, the way it fluctuates when you mentioned your shop. That and the gleam in your eye."
Wow, she hadn't expected that answer. “Are you a psychologist or something?"
"Nope,” he answered simply.
"Okay then, tit for tat, Trenton."
"I'm a graphic designer.” He didn't go into anymore details with her before asking, “What are you in town for?"
Another test. Sid couldn't wait to see how he replied to this one. “Psychic fair."
Trenton didn't flinch. “I bet that's great business for you and your friend."
Sid didn't know how to reply. She'd never met someone like Trenton before and he overwhelmed her. Suit and tie kind of men usually didn't respect the kind of shop she owned. He seemed so different than anyone she'd ever known. “What are you in town for?"
"You.” Trenton leaned forward, his lips capturing hers. She melted on the spot, his tongue pushing past her lips demanding entrance. Her body complied automatically letting him in. He tasted like the scotch he'd drank. She couldn't remember the waitress bringing them their drinks, but she obviously had.
His masculine, spicy scent enveloped her making a sigh emerge from the back of her throat. God she wanted this man. It was as if he'd cast a spell on her.
"Come to my room with me?” Trenton asked against her lips.
The word yes tried to break free from her lips. Just as she was about to reply she heard Abby's laughter coming from somewhere in the distance. Sid pulled away sharply. She couldn't do it. She couldn't spend one anonymous night with this man. Sex meant more to her than that. She'd promised herself a long time ago next time she was with a man it would be someone she knew she'd have a future with.
Jumping up, Sidney ran for the door.

Chapter Two
Sidney rolled over in her hotel bed. The mattress was one of the most comfortable she'd ever slept on, but it hadn't help her get any sleep last night. Trenton's sexy voice echoed through her head all night making her body primed for the pleasure she knew he'd be able to give her. She ached in places she'd almost forgotten existed. How long had it been since she'd been with a man? When you can't remember, it's been too damn long. That's what Abby would say if she asked her.
The thing was, she usually didn't give it a second thought. She had her friends, her job, and her family. That's all that really mattered. Most of the men she knew either jumped from woman to woman or she'd known them her whole life and just couldn't see them as anything more than a friend. The one time she'd thought she really found someone he proved her wrong and broke her heart.
Since then she hadn't found anyone who made her want to recant what Abby called her vow of celibacy. Until now. Her achy body pulsed just thinking about him.
Sidney sat up rising from the bed slowly. Yesterday had been the last day of the fair and she wanted to get up and checkout early. The later she stayed the bigger chance that she might run into Trenton again. He didn't strike her as the type to give up easily. With the way she'd run out on him last night, he'd want answers. She could feel it. The man had probably never been turned down by a woman in his life.
"Abbs. Wake up,” Sidney said, walking over to her friend's bed to rouse her.
A groan escaped Abby's lips as she rolled over in the bed, one eye cracked open to look at Sidney. “Too early."
Sidney poked her in the side. “Get up sleepy head. We need to get out of here early. I have a few things I need to take care of back home.” First thing on her list was clearing Trenton Stone out of her mind. Yeah. Right.
Abby got out of the bed slowly walking over to her suitcase. She grabbed her bag before heading into the bathroom. “You met him, didn't you?” she asked,
