“Can’t get enough of you,” he muttered between breaths.
She nodded. “Ditto.”
“What a great problem to have.” He smiled.
Again, Sadie nodded. “The best.”
Something warm and fierce flashed through Dale’s eyes a second before he cupped her face and placed feather-light kisses up her jaw and to her temple. Sadie’s heart skipped a beat then raced at the sweet, pure, raw emotion this amazing man evoked in her. His tender kisses continued over one eye, then the other,before he made his way down to her mouth, where—heaven help her—he took his time, kissing slow and long and with a depth that surpassed every kiss they'd shared before.
She felt comforted, protected, and cherished, and her heart swelled to overflowing.
What was taking place felt so damn amazing and right. Exactly what she’d always suspected. They were meant for each other.
She reached up to caress his face, and he immediately turned his head into her touch and kissed her palm. Her heart skipped another beat. “Dale…I…”
“I feel it too, Sadie,” he said, grabbing her hips to tug her to the edge of the desk.
Then he was kissing her again, hungrily, desperately, as if showing her exactly how she affected him. To know she had that much power over such a virile, potent man—the grown-up version of the boy she’d fallen for years ago—made her feel incredible. Invincible. Like she could take on the world and win.
All too briefly, he ended the kiss but then he slid a hand under her knee and lifted her leg, and she automatically hooked it around his hip. She moaned, unable to help it because his thick erection brushed against the spot that ached for him the most.
“You are my sanctuary, Sadie,” he said, then holding her gaze, he slowly shoved inside her.
Breath clogged her throat, and her eyes drifted closed, momentarily enjoying their undeniably perfect connection.
“Perfect,” he muttered her thought out loud, in a deliciously strained tone.
Her eyes flew open, and the look of raw, pure, pleasure, tightening his features nearly set her off.
“Yes, we are,” she agreed, smiling into his hot, desire-laden gaze.
Dale lifted her hand and set it on his chest, and her pulseleapt, matching the strong beat under her palm. “We’re where we belong.”
Her throat heated and eyes burned, and all she could do was nod.
He released her hand and shoved his in her hair, curling his fingers around her neck and head as he brought her lips to his. “Together,” he said against her mouth, then slowly began to thrust.
An undiscernible sound rippled up her throat at the amazing feel of the man gliding in and out of her. Only he knew her rhythm.
Sadie met each thrust, moving with him, running a hand down his heated body to just above their connection. He let out a deep, sexy groan, and she felt it all the way to her tingling toes. The man was perfection personified.
He wrapped an arm around her back and hauled her in closer, nuzzling her favorite spot behind her ear.
Sadie sucked in a breath as goosebumps spread over her heated flesh. It felt amazing. He was amazing. Never had she been this open, this close, to a man before. Probably because she never wanted to be.
Only Dale had access to those deep wants and needs. And only Dale could make her feel desired, protected, and crazy with desire all at the same time.
She clutched his back, lost in the feeling of their slick bodies pressed chest to chest, heart to heart. The feel of her nipples brushing his muscled pecs was the most incredible sensation, and she was so grateful to fate for bringing Dale back into her life again.
He sank his teeth into her neck, and heat flooded her core. Sadie moaned, nearly unhinged.
“Dale…”
He lifted his head to stare into her eyes, while he continuedto move inside her. “Love hearing my name on your lips.” Then he gripped her hip and changed the angle before he drove deeper, faster, harder.
So good.
Wanting to give back, to make him feel just as aroused and turned on, Sadie whispered his name again and again. He deserved to know what he did to her. His straining muscles, his incredible body brushing against hers, and the fierce, raw need in his eyes as he moved inside her were so intense and perfect, she would never forget the moment.
