Chapter Seven

“Ready?” he asked, tossing his keys in the air.

“I guess.” She sighed, yanking open the passenger’s side door.

She slid into the front seat. The car was oddly clean. It was an older car, but it wasn’t trashy or smelly on the inside – honestly, she would have expected that.

Once Trent started the car and backed out of his spot, she relaxed a little.

“So where are we going?”

He grinned as he waited to turn left onto the main thoroughfare. “You ever heard of McDonald’s?”

Sam narrowed her eyes. “Oh, come on. You’ve gotta be kidding me.”

Trent snorted, that dimple flashing again as he hung a left. They joined the mid-day traffic headed toward downtown. “Fine. We’re going someplace a little nicer than Mickey D’s.”

Excitement simmered inside her, but it seemed wrong. Like she shouldn’t be excited about anything this guy had to offer. But still... she was. In a weird way.

“You show up unannounced at a bar yesterday, and at my workplace today. I think I’ve earned the right to know where we’re going.”

“Fine. We’re heading to Dieter’s Diner.”

She nodded in appreciation. Dieter’s was a locally famous place, known for scratch food and an interesting menu. It was one of the nicer places, not the typical greasy spoon type of diner.

“That sounds great, actually. You surprised me.”

“If that surprises you, I’ve got about a hundred more things that’ll make your jaw drop.”

Something behind his words sent her skin prickling. She couldn’t figure out if that were a warning or a seduction technique.

She sent him a sharp glance. “Should I be worried?”

Trent simply shrugged, that shit-eating grin back on his face. She’d seen the business side of him yesterday. Today felt like someone new. Someone more playful. Maybe even relaxed.

“Guess you’ll find out.”

Sam sighed, crossing her arms. Part of her wanted to play with him, joke around. The other half was still pissed about the whole thing.

“Great. I assume you’re paying.”

“Maybe. Depends on how sassy that mouth gets.”

She rolled her eyes. “I should be allowed unlimited sass for what I’ve been through in the mere twenty-four hours of knowing you.”

A grin tugged at his lips. She couldn’t help but feel satisfied. In any other circumstance, a man like Trent would have her chasing him down. There weren’t many men in life that caught her eye. Sure, she liked a good fuck buddy. Even had a few guys on standby, though she hadn’t reached out to them in a long time. But with the way she’d grown up – all that access to money, pretty clothes, hair styling, and more – it took a lot to impress her. Even though she preferred a quieter life now, she still knew the difference between a simply good-looking guy and one who was drop-dead gorgeous.

And Trent was drop-dead gorgeous.

If only he weren’t the hired help for the Sokolovs, he might be the full package.

“All right. A woman who drives a hard bargain. I’ll take it.” His smile was in full bloom now, and it made her breath shrivel in her throat.
