Summer Love in the Country (Summer Instalove)

have no idea what I’ll do in my sleep,” he chuckled. Those bright eyes were smiling, but I

could sense his frustration. Knowing how much he wanted me filled me with a strange glow

that I’d never felt before.

I thought it was sexy when he pulled my panties off, but the way he slid them gently back

on was even more seductive. Dean looked around the room and found a baggy tank top,

slipping me into it, then tucking me into bed.

Kissing me with his slow, steady heat, he murmured, “I’ll dream of you all night, Joanna.

See you in the morning.”

He pulled his boots on, shut off the light, and left quickly. Alone in bed, the tingling

aftershocks of such an intense time made my mind race. Pulling out my notebook for a

second, I used the light of my phone to scribble a few things before setting the alarm and

falling into a deep, satisfying sleep.

CHAPTER TWELVE

* Dean *

The next three days with Joanna were absolute perfection. We worked together, laughed

together, and truly got to know each other. There were secret kisses out in the fields, and

little moments of holding her hand under the dinner table.

Feeling her body resting against mine as we drove back to the farmhouse for lunch, I should

have been completely happy. Instead, I was torn in two.

Watching Joanna’s eyes as she had wrapped her legs around me the other night had

shaken me to the core. She wanted me completely, and she was willing to give me

everything.

Yet there was no way I could take her if it wasn’t right. She was at a turning point in her life where she was still discovering what she wanted. I couldn’t just buy a house here in town,

move her into it, and make her my country girl.

I would move to the city for her – hell, I would do anything for her. But I couldn’t think of any way I could make a good living there.

The thing that tugged at my heartstrings most of all was that Joanna seemed so inspired

out here. Every evening at dinner she told us a bit about the pieces she was writing, and

although I didn’t understand poetry, it sounded like her book was really coming together.

She also had a ton of ideas about more commercial things that she could write for various

magazines and websites.
