Nothing was sexier than watching a man cook. The way his muscles flexed and rippled as he chopped the vegetables. I could spend an entire afternoon watching Trent cook and I’d be one very happy woman—one very happy turned-on woman.

And this was Trent with a T-shirt on.

Could you imagine if he was shirtless?

Or wearing only a towel wrapped low around his hips, with the delectable low cut V of his abs showing?

I licked my lips at the steamy image now implanted in my head.

Trent said something, snapping me back to my current reality. “Can I help you with anything?” I asked, watching him chop vegetables for a stir fry.

“No, I’m good. You can either stay and watch or go play with your camera.” Which I had brought with me just in case.

Hmm. That was a tough one. The idea of both was appealing—but watching Trent was even more so.

“Did you want to watch something on Netflix after dinner?” he asked.

The idea of cuddling with him sounded appealing, although I had no idea if he was the cuddling type. From what Erin had told me, there had been plenty of girls in his life, but I had assumed they were all one-night stands or had been very short-term relationships.

“You know about my dating past and my failed relationship.” I grabbed a carrot from the counter and pretended to be fascinated with it. “What about you?”

He was silent for a moment, to the point where I thought he wasn’t going to answer. “I dated a girl in college for a while.” Freezes in Antarctica were warmer than his tone. “She got pregnant in our senior year and I decided to do the right thing and marry her. Because she wanted to be married well before the baby was born, we had planned to get married in Vegas. Then I found out, by accident I might add, that she had lost the baby and was stringing me along, knowing my upcoming job with an investment bank had the potential of being high paying.”

“I’m sorry,” I whispered, mentally cursing the bitch for hurting him. “Erin never told me.”

“She doesn’t know. None of my family does. Call it stupidity on my part, but we were going to get married and then tell our families. I knew my mom wouldn’t be thrilled. She wanted a big wedding for all of her kids, but it just didn’t feel right and there wasn’t enough time…or so I thought. Anyway, it’s no big deal.” He might have said it, but I could tell it was a bigger deal than he let on. “After I graduated Columbia, I studied for my CFA designation and didn’t have time for dating.”

“CFA?”

“Chartered Financial Analyst. You have to pass three levels of exams, but the failure rate of each is high and the amount of material to study is extensive. I needed it for what I wanted to do, and couldn’t fail even just once. Each exam is offered twice a year, and I didn’t want to risk having to wait another six months to retake it.
