Summer Love in the Country (Summer Instalove)

long haul.

The last few times Ryan was here, I think he hooked up with at least one or two girls. The

thought of Joanna with a less than dedicated man turned my stomach.

When I tapped on her door, she answered immediately, greeting me with a huge smile as

she grabbed her things.

“We’re going a bit farther today, so you’ll have to hold on tight,” I said as she climbed onto the four-wheeler behind me. Feeling her little hands wrap around to squeeze my stomach

made me feel more comfortable. Like she trusted me.

We spent a pleasant few hours harvesting spinach and kale, and once again she surprised

Tossing my water bottle into the trailer, I snuggled her with both arms, surprised as she

turned to face me. The way her chin tipped up for a kiss, almost begging, filled me with

need so suddenly it was almost shocking.

Pulling her close, I kissed her as gently as I could, feeling the blood thicken in my veins. The energy between us almost had a life of its own. Her entire body pressed against me as I

heard her soft sigh.

Her tongue against mine melted my spine as my arms locked around her. I knew that I was

Joanna’s hands caressed the back of my shoulders as I cupped her round ass, holding her
