Diesel (BBW Paranormal Shapeshifter Romance) (The Grizzly Brothers Book 1) (3 page)

“
S
o
, do you, uh, bring all of your dates here?”

Diesel looked up from his menu to see Sadie looking shyly back at him.

He shook his head.

“Oh, okay,” Sadie said, her eyes shifting to the side before coming back to him. “You take them somewhere else?”

Diesel shook his head again and answered, “I don’t date.”

Sadie blinked slowly, as if unable to comprehend his answer, then asked, “You don’t date? You just what, have casual, sexual relationships with women?”

“No,” he asked, surprised, and a little offended that she’d jump right to the conclusion that he was someone who played women. That was more his brothers’ thing.

“No? I don’t understand.”

“I don’t date, and I don’t have casual, sexual relationships with women.”

“Then what do you do with them?” Sadie asked.

“Nothing,” he admitted. “The only women I’m ever around are usually mixed up with my brothers. Other than my mother, there’s never been a woman who was important to me in my life.”

“Are you saying…” Sadie swallowed, as if she weren’t sure if she could say the words out loud. “Are you saying that you’ve never
been
with a woman?”

“Yes,” Diesel replied, then turned his attention to the waiter who’d just approached their table.

Once they’d both ordered, Diesel turned his attention back to Sadie and saw that she was staring at him unblinking, a dazed expression on her face.

“Are you okay?” he asked, worried that she’d suddenly taken ill and they’d have to cut their date short.

Sadie’s mouth gaped for a moment, then snapped shut, before she said, “I don’t understand.”

Diesel ignored the waiter as he put down their drinks; instead, he reached across the table to cover the back of Sadie’s hand. He struggled not to focus on how soft and sweet her skin was. “Understand what?”

“How a man, a man like you…”

Diesel liked the way she looked at him. Like he was a large piece of well cooked meat, and she couldn’t wait to get a taste.

“Could still be… a virgin.” She whispered that last bit, leaning over the table to keep their privacy, and giving him a nice view of her supple breasts.

“I’m not interested in fooling around, or wasting my time with any woman who isn’t my mate,” he replied honestly. “I’m not a man who needs constant attention, or likes to be around people all that much.”

“Then why did you ask me out?” she asked, her lower lip pouting in quite an enticing manner.

Diesel was finding that he not only enjoyed the connection he felt with his intended, but that he liked watching her expressions and reactions. He knew she was worth being a man more often than a bear.

“Because I knew the moment I laid eyes on you that you were different. When I held you in my arms, and then when we touched, I felt the kind of connection that comes from pure natural instinct. You’re the woman I’ve been waiting for.”

Sadie gulped visibly, then looked around as if she were worried that someone in this crowded room were eavesdropping on their conversation. She leaned forward again, and Diesel took a moment to enjoy the view, before bringing his smiling face up to her flabbergasted one.

“You mean the one to…” Even in a whisper, her voice was higher than usual. “
Sleep
with?”

“Oh yes,” Diesel replied, his grin turning wicked. “Although, I don’t plan to do much sleeping.”

Sadie sat back in her chair with a thump, pulling her hand from underneath his to fold it in her lap.

“That’s a lot of pressure. I mean, we’ve only just met… we’re on our first date… And you’re saying that I’m the one you’ve been waiting to lose your virginity to? I’m flattered and all, but, this is kind of a lot to throw at me, ya know?”

Diesel frowned and fretted that he’d said too much too soon. He should have listened to his brother and waited. He just couldn’t seem to find patience where Sadie was concerned. He knew she was his mate, and he didn’t want to wait. He found that he was eager to belong to her, and have her belong to him.

Realizing his mistake and that he needed to slow down before she ran away, Diesel waited until she brought her wary eyes back to him before saying, “Don’t worry, Sadie, there is no pressure. You asked me and I told you. I’ll always be honest and tell you what you want to know, but I don’t want you to think this all has to happen right now. Let’s forget about all of that for now and just enjoy our dinner. Okay?”

Sadie took a deep breath and replied, “Yes, okay. I’d like that.”

Diesel breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “So, why don’t you tell me what you do in Chicago.”

Sadie’s smile was grateful, and Diesel could hear her breathing regulate as she visibly relaxed in front of him.

“I’m an accountant,” she replied, before picking up her glass of white wine and taking a healthy sip. “I’ve worked for a small firm in the city for the last two 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.

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 as images of them together flashed through her brain, things that they hadn’t even done yet, but somehow, Sadie knew that they would.

“Easy,” Diesel said, his arms coming out to catch her before her legs buckled beneath her. “Let me.”

He pulled his shirt off, then knelt before her, his hands going to rid her of her boots, before coming to the button of her slacks and easing them off of her as well. Before she knew what was coming, his hot breath was on her pussy, wetness coming through her panties as he licked her through the lace.

“What are you doing to me?” she managed as she let her head fall back and brought her hands up to cradle his.

With a low, guttural growl, Diesel ripped the panties from her body and brought his hands to her ass. As he lifted, her legs instinctively went over his shoulders and wrapped around his neck, bringing the hot core of her right where they both wanted her.

Sadie’s heart beat rapidly as she held on, her adrenaline spiking as he rose to his full height and backed her up to the wall. She was so high, she could grasp the rafters as he pulled her even closer to his face and began to devour her.

Once she got used to the strange, somewhat scary position, Sadie found that she could move quite easily. As his tongue licked the lips of her pussy, and his nose nuzzled her hard, throbbing clit, Sadie moved her hips, eager for more.

More of his lips. More of his tongue. More of everything.

“Diesel,” she moaned as she rode his face. She could feel her orgasm building with every lick, and when he pulled her clit between his lips and sucked, she came with a groan and his name on her lips.

Once she’d ridden out her orgasm, her slight fear of heights took over and she tapped him lightly on the back of the head.

“Um, can you set me down?” she asked, suddenly embarrassed at her brazen behavior.

Like she weighed nothing at all, Diesel unhooked her from his shoulders and set her gently on the ground. Then he dipped his head and kissed her softly, the taste of her mixing with the taste of him.

When they pulled away, Sadie said, “I can’t believe you’ve never done anything like this before. That seemed like a pretty expert move.”

“Some things are pure instinct. We’re all just animals, after all,” Diesel responded with a sexy grin.

He was so much bigger than her that Sadie could feel the hard length of his cock hitting right below her breasts, and she knew that she wanted to please him as thoroughly as he’d pleasured her.

W
ith the taste
of Sadie on his lips, Diesel watched as she took off her bra, leaving her naked and glorious before him, causing him to wonder what he’d ever done in his life to deserve a woman like her.

His dick throbbed painfully as he watched her small hand come to the top of his pants and begin to undo his fly. He thought he might explode at the sight of her sweet little hand wrapped around his cock, but he didn’t care, he just wanted it to happen.

Once she’d pushed his pants down, he pulled off his shoes and stepped out of them.

“Commando, huh?” Sadie muttered.

Before he could say anything in response, his wish came true and her hand fisted around his cock, and he lost the ability to speak. When she tip-toed up and pushed the head of his cock between her supple breasts, Diesel thought he’d died and gone to heaven. Then, she tilted her head down and licked his cock as she titty fucked him, and he knew he had... Gone to heaven, that was… because his fantasies weren’t even this good.

“
God
, Sadie,” he groaned, her pretty pink lips on his cock almost too much to bear.

He lost her tits, but gained her mouth when she bent lower and wrapped her full lips around him.

Diesel watched, mesmerized, as she bobbed over his dick, one hand at the base of his cock pumping, the other squeezing the flesh of his ass.

“Fuck,” he murmured, his eyes threatening to close as pleasure coursed through him. But Diesel wouldn’t close them. He didn’t want to miss one second of Sadie sucking him off. “You’re amazing,” he added as he touched the soft crown of her head, then he urged her back.

“What’s wrong,” she asked, her lips swollen and red from taking his cock, and looking at her was almost enough to make him come on the spot.

“I need to be inside of you,” Diesel growled, his hands reaching out to help her to her feet.

Her pupils dilated so that her eyes were almost completely black, and he knew she liked the idea of being with him. He looked around the room, needing to find some place to fuck her before he took her right there on the ground.

Seeing the couch, he backed Sadie up until she was at the back of it, then turned her and bent her over. His bear practically fucking growled at the sight of her bent over, her legs spread and her juices glistening. She was as ready for him as he was for her.

This was what he’d been waiting for since he was a cub and had seen others mating. It was what he was made for…
She
was what he’d been made for.

Diesel grasped his cock in his hand, unable to stop himself from stroking the length of it before positioning the tip at her entrance. Needing to see how ready she was for him, he ran his cock along her pussy lips, coating the head with her come.

At Sadie’s whimper, Diesel lost control of his human, and his animal urges took over. He thrust inside, nearly coming undone at the unbelievable feeling of connecting with his mate. Sadie cried out as he pulled out, then back in, fucking her as if both their lives depended on it.

Diesel felt her inner walls pulsing around him, and felt like a hero when she came on his cock. The sounds, smells, and sight of mating with Sadie was more than he could handle, man or bear, and he pounded harder as he began to come.

Just as he was about to rear back and bite the back of Sadie’s shoulder, claiming her as his mate, he heard a thump and a gasp, and turned his head to see Reagan standing by the open door, his brothers right behind her.

Unable to do anything but finish, Diesel pumped inside of Sadie a couple more times, before pulling out and turning to make sure she was completely blocked from view.

He heard her sigh and felt her shifting behind him, and knew that she’d not yet realized they had company. Diesel wished he could save her from what he knew would embarrass her, but knew that was not an option. It was too late.

Reagan’s eyes flitted over his body, pausing briefly at his cock, before her bright blue eyes locked angrily on his face.

“
What the fuck
?” she asked crassly, and Diesel felt Sadie freeze behind him.

“Oh my God,” Sadie whispered, and he did his best to wrap his arms around her from his awkward position.

“What happened to taking it slow?” Blaze asked, while Hunter just grinned from behind him.

“Hello, Reagan,” Diesel began, ignoring his brothers. “We haven’t officially met. I’m Diesel.”

“I know who you are, asshole,” Reagan said, her arms flying out as she gestured toward them. “What the hell are you doing with my sister?”

“Now, Reagan,” Hunter said calmly, coming up to lay a hand on Reagan’s arm, which she promptly flung off. “Why don’t we let them get their clothes on, and then you can resume the interrogation.”

“Please, Reagan,” Sadie begged from behind him, her tone conveying her embarrassment.

“All right,” Reagan replied, “
For Sadie
… But you have some explaining to do, Grizzly.”

Diesel watched as the three of them walked into Reagan’s room and shut the door. He could hear Reagan’s voice rise as he turned to look at his mate.

“Are you okay?” he asked, even though she looked more beautiful than ever.

“I can’t believe my sister and your brothers just walked in on us having sex,” she began as she scurried over to her clothes. “And I can’t believe that we just had sex, after everything you said at the restaurant.” Sadie paused and looked up at him, her eyes wide with confusion. “And, after what we just did, I don’t know if I
believe
everything you said at the restaurant.”

“Sadie,” he began, taking a step toward her, then stopping when she held up her hand.

“No, I need to talk to Reagan, and I need to think. Please, just go, and we’ll talk tomorrow, okay?”

The plea in her voice coupled with the look on her face had Diesel agreeing, even though he wanted nothing more than to stay with her all night and complete his claiming of her.

“Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow,” Diesel said as he gathered his things. “But Sadie, you must know, you’ve just given me a gift that I will cherish forever.”

He watched as her face softened, then strode from the cabin to his truck, naked as the day he was born.
