years.”
“Do you like it?” he asked, pleased that things seemed to be back on track. Now he just needed to figure out how to get her beneath him before the night was over.

Sadie
S adie resisted the urge to fidget in her seat on the ride back to Reagan’s.
She’d wanted to lay it all on the table to see where they both stood, and he had. It just hadn’t been what she was expecting. At all …
How was it possible in today’s day and age that a man like Diesel was a virgin? It was simply inconceivable. He was all man. A seriously manly man. She couldn’t wrap her head around it.
Sure, he lived in the middle of nowhere Alaska, but there were women here. Women with eyes and working reproductive parts. How could a gorgeous, seriously built man like Diesel have been single all of these years? Not just single, but celibate.
Sadie didn’t understand.
One touch in his kitchen and they’d been moments away from going at it on his kitchen counter. He was a very virile man.
Sadie risked a look at him from under her lashes, and yup, he was still freaking gorgeous.
She’d panicked when he’d said he thought she was the one. Not that she hadn’t been thinking about engaging in a fling with him while she was here, because she totally had been, but taking a grown man’s virginity seemed to be more than a vacation hook-up. It screamed relationship, and since she lived in Chicago and he lived in Alaska, that wasn’t possible.
Sadie sighed. She really liked him, but it seemed like they were looking for different things.
Diesel stopped in front of Reagan’s and got out to open her door for her, which only caused more confusion to fill her mind.
She loved that he was such a gentleman, the way her entire body tingled at his slightest touch, and his quiet, but sweet disposition. She didn’t want to tell him no, but how could they start something when she was only in town a short while?
“ Diesel ,” Sadie began as they stopped in front of the door.
Anything else she would have said was lost when Diesel’s lips descended on hers, because one touch was all it took to scramble her brain and awaken her desire.
It was like a fever, all-consuming, hot, and intense.
Her lips parted, welcoming him in. Needing him to fulfill the need that was building within her.
Sadie moaned as Diesel’s hand fisted in her hair, pulling her head back to give himself deeper access to her mouth. She pushed her hands up and inside his coat, then became frustrated at the gloves she’d forgotten she was wearing.
“Inside,” she managed, tearing her face away long enough to take in a deep, crisp breath.
Diesel nodded and let her go long enough to open the door, then he shuffled them both inside and shut the door soundly behind them.
Eager to touch him with her bare skin, Sadie rid herself of her gloves and coat. Once his coat joined hers on the floor, she went to him, shoving her hands back under his shirt, and this time felt the heat of his skin beneath her palms.
She could fear coarse hair covering his torso, not a ton, just enough to make her quiver at the thought of that hair rubbing against her nipples.
Jesus , she’d never been so turned on by one kiss and the touch of a man’s bare chest before; it was like every touch, feeling, and kiss heightened her arousal by a thousand percent. This man was dangerously potent, and Sadie couldn’t wait to see what else he could make her feel.
He lifted her sweater up by the hem, taking it swiftly up and over her head, then his eyes were on her breasts, which were currently heaving over the cups of her lace bra as she struggled to breathe normally.
Wanting to see him as well, Sadie began unbuttoning his shirt as he toyed with the tops of her breasts, causing wetness to pool between her thighs.
God, those fingers. Those large, thick, magical fingers . She was so looking forward to feeling those fingers pumping inside of her that she was dizzy at the thought.
Her knees weakened
