Lydia laughed and shook her head. “Get out of here.”

As they walked to the truck hand in hand, Dakota sighed. “I could use a drink. How about you?”

“Sounds good.”

They drove to a nearby club and managed to find a corner table. Sadie ordered some loaded fries with her strawberry margarita and they talked about his evening. Dakota was pretty sure she was more excited about the event than he was.

After her first drink, she pulled him onto the dance floor. They wrapped their arms around each other. Sadie laid her head on his chest and their bodies moved slowly to the music. The heat from her body made the infernos rage inside of him, andhe wanted nothing more than to make sweet love to her all night long.

When the song ended, she looked up at him and smiled. “Let’s head back.”

Sadie

They drove back to the hotel in silence. They walked hand in hand to her room. She slid the keycard into the slot and then looked at him. Sadie grabbed his jacket and pulled him into her room.

Sadie licked her lips and stared into his eyes. “You are so incredibly sexy. I wanted nothing more than to touch you all night long.”

“You had a margarita.”

She laughed and shook her head. “I promise that the one drink has absolutely nothing to do with the way I’m feeling. If you don’t want to be with me, I understand.”

He smiled. “You have no idea how much I want you. He lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers.

Sadie’s heart raced as Dakota’s lips met hers. A warmth spread through her entire body, igniting embers that had been smoldering inside of her since she first met him. She closed her eyes, savoring the moment she had been aching for all night. His strong arms encircled her waist, pulling her closer. She melted against him.

The kiss deepened and every fiber in her body tingled. She ran her fingers through his salt and pepper hair, marveling at its softness. His scent of citrus, pine, and his essence flooded through her. It was intoxicating.

They broke apart briefly and she looked into his eyes. He looked at her with an intensity that made her breath catch in her throat. Want and tenderness reflected in his eyes, which shimmered green with flecks of gold.

“Dakota,” she whispered as she gently touched his face with her fingertips. A million butterflies fluttered in her stomach.

He cupped her face gently with his hands, his thumbs lightly caressing her face. She leaned into his touch. It felt so right to be there with him.

Their lips met again. She poured all of her feelings into the kiss, expressing without words, her feelings for him, how connected she felt to him, and how much she was attracted to him.

The kiss intensified. Dakota gently pushed her until her back was against the wall. His body pressed against hers, solid and warm. One of his hands tangled in her hair. The other rested on her hip, his thumb tracing small circles that sent shivers down her spine.

Her hands gently ran over his broad shoulders, feeling the strength in them. She moaned as she felt a bond between them grow. It was more than just a physical attraction. It was a magnetic pull that went deep into their souls.

Breaking the kiss, Dakota trailed his lips along her jawline and down her neck. She tilted her head and sighed as his lips created a path of fire. Her fingers clutched his shirt as her knees buckled. Waves of a million different sensations washed over her.

“Sadie,” Dakota murmured against her skin, his voice deep and husky. The sound of her name on his lips sent a thrill ofelectricity racing through her. He pulled back and looked deep into her eyes. “You’re incredible.”

She smiled up at him. “So are you.”

Sadie touched Dakota’s face, tracing his jawline. He closed his eyes, a low groan escaping from the back of his throat.

Standing on her toes, she brought his lips back to hers. It was a slow, deliberate kiss, their tongues dancing together as their mouths made love to each other. She felt the heated wetness form between her legs and she wanted Dakota more than she had ever wanted anything in her life.

She pulled his jacket off and tossed it onto the chair in the corner. Her fingers found the top button and she slowly unfastened the top one. She slowly unbuttoned each of them until his shirt was open. Sadie splayed her hands across his chest, loving the feeling of his hard pecs. She pressed her lips against his warm flesh. He moaned as she pushed his shirt off of him and threw it into the chair.

“Oh, my goodness. You are so damned hot. You could have stepped out of a magazine.”

“Thank you for that assessment.” He grinned at her and gently touched her face.

He sat on the bed and pulled his boots off, tossing them into the corner. Her fingers found the buttons on his slacks and soon Dakota was standing naked in the room.
