He reclaimed her mouth feverishly, his strong arms pushing beneath her, lifting and angling her hips as he slowed them down, driving in painfully slow and deliciously deep, then grinding his hips and starting over again in a maddening rhythm. Just when she fell into sync, he quickened his efforts in gradual waves, each increase stealing her breath, making her greedier, needier. He held her tighter, kissed her rougher, taking her to the edge of a cliff. Pinpricks raced up her limbs, spreading like wildfire through her chest, and exploded into a shower of fiery sensations as her world spun away. Diesel was right there with her, giving in to his own powerful release. Their skin was slick and heated, their breathing ragged and choppy, but their hearts hammered out the same frantic beat as they rode out their passion.

They collapsed in each other’s arms, and Diesel kept her close as they caught their breath. He turned them on their sides like he did so often, their bodies moving as one so he could hold all of her. His hand slid to her bottom, his thigh moving over hers as he kissed her. When their lips parted, Tracey’s world stilled at the emotions staring back at her.

“I hope you never stop looking at me like that,” she whispered.

The tender, lingering press of his lips told her he never would.

AFTER A STEAMY, sexy shower, Diesel whipped up breakfast in the kitchen of the clubhouse and Tracey pranced around in a sports bra and skintight workout pants, chatting about her mother’s visit tomorrow. He thought he’d be used to her sexy outfits by now, but it didn’t matter what she wore. Every minute she wasn’t in his arms was a test of his willpower.

“Do you think I should get something for the girls? I’m going to the grocery store after we work out with Lior. I could head over to the mall and pick something up for them first.”

They were meeting Lior at nine. Tracey wasn’t scheduled to work until two o’clock, but Diesel had to be there at eleven, so he was going to work out with them for an hour first. He was glad she was taking the full two-hour workout. She’d been a bundle of nervous energy all week about her mother’s visit. She’d been a wild woman during Wednesday’s workout and had blown both Diesel and Lior away with how far she’d come.

“They’re coming to see you, babe, not to get presents.”

“I know, but do you think I should? Or will it seem like I’m trying too hard, or trying to buy their friendship? I’m just so happy to have them in my life.”
