Trusting Sydney: The Temptation Saga: Book Six by Helen Hardt Page A

deep voice was so sexy.
    “God yes, Sam, I love how you feel inside me.”
    “I love it when you talk like that, baby. You make me hard.” His hips rose from the bed and he pushed farther into her.
    Sydney reached down to her own special spot and began rubbing in time with Sam’s upward thrusts.
    “Yeah, sweetheart, you’re so hot when you touch yourself there. God, you’re beautiful.”
    “You’re beautiful too, Sam. So gorgeous. I’ve never seen a more beautiful man.”
    He thrust into her. “Never like this. Never before or after you.”
    He had no idea. “Amazing with you. Only with you.”
    “I’m gonna come, baby.” He thrust harder.
    As his shaft pulsed within her, her own orgasm blasted through her veins like boiling honey.
    So good. So right.
    Could she have this? Could it work?
    They hadn’t said a word as they rushed to her hotel room. It wasn’t far from the rodeo arena. He’d dragged her by the hand up to the room and nearly thrown her on the bed. Frantically they’d stripped each other, and within seconds she was on top of him, impaled on him.
    Now she slid off him, mourning the loss of his cock. She lay down next to him.
    He propped up on one shoulder and looked at her. “We need to talk.”
    Oh God. She waited.
    He cleared his throat. “I want to be able to trust you.”
    “I know.”
    “You should have told me you were engaged.”
    “You’re absolutely right. And I shouldn’t have gone to bed with you while I was engaged to someone else, even if I was intending to end it.”
    “You’re right.”
    “This isn’t an excuse, but…I couldn’t resist you, Sam. I couldn’t resist you five years ago, and I couldn’t now. I’m not afraid to go after what I want, but I’m not the type who goes around having one-night stands.”
    “You invited me to your room that night, Sydney.”
    “I know. And it wasn’t like me at all. There was something about you.”
    He nodded. “I understand, believe it or not. I never believed in chemistry before. I never believed in love at first sight.”
    Her heart lurched. “Love at first sight?”
    “I’m sorry. I don’t want to scare you.”
    Adrenaline spiked through her. “I’m not scared, just a little confused. What exactly are you saying?”
    “We know little about each other, but I can tell you one thing. I have never in my life felt the way I do when I’m with you.”
    “Neither have I.”
    “Then is it love we’re feeling?”
    “I don’t know.”
    “From my end, it sure seems to be.”
    Warmth flooded her. Did he truly love her? Could it possibly happen? Even with everything else she hadn’t told him yet?
    He caressed her cheek. “I love you, Sydney.”
    She shouldn’t say it back. It would just make things harder, but the words tumbled off her tongue. “I love you too, Sam. God, I love you so much.”
    She meant the words with all her heart.
    It was now or never. She had to level with him. He deserved the truth. She might lose him, but she could no longer live the lie.
    “Sam, I need to tell you something.”
    “What is it, baby?”
    A knock on the door interrupted her. “Who could that be? I know Mom and Dad were keeping Duke at the rodeo to watch the rest of the events. He already had his nap before my race.”
    “Whoever it is, get rid of him,” Sam said, pressing his lips to hers. “I want you back in this bed.”
    She smiled. Saved by the knock. For now at least. She pulled on her robe and opened the door.
    “Hello, darling Sydney,” Rod Kyle said.
    “What are you doing here?”
    He pushed past her and walked into the room. Sam, still naked, jumped to his feet.
    “For God’s sake, put some clothes on,” Rod said, turning his head.
    Sam hurried into his jeans. “What’s going on, Sydney? I thought you two were over.”
    “We are. Why are you here, Rod?”
    “I did a little digging today, and I found some stuff that I thought you might find interesting.”
    “Nothing you have to say interests me,” she
