pulled her closer to him, their bodies fitting against each other like they were meant to be. And when his tongue dipped into her mouth to stroke hers, she couldn’t hold back the moan of pleasure that erupted from within her.
    Sam went rigid against her and her heart almost stopped. Holding her waist, Sam pulled back and looked down at her. Summer looked up at him, trying to hold back the twinge of fear that was beginning to build within her.
    “Summer, I…” Sam said, hesitating. “I want you so much right now. I’ve wanted you. But…” And then he whispered, “I need you to be sure. I need to know that you want this as much as I do.”
    Summer said nothing as she looked at the concern flashing in his eyes – concern for her, mixed with restrained desire. And she knew, without a doubt, what she really wanted. Leaning in, she kissed him softly, feeling the rigidity of his body melt away to be replaced with the building tension of his arousal.
    Cupping her face, he said softly, “You’re an amazing woman, Summer Bigelow. Last night I damn near died lying in that bed with you for wanting you so much. I know you’ve heard talk—”
    “Ssh,” she said, placing a finger against his lips. “You talk too much.”
    “I don’t want you to think I’m the bastard others have made me out to be. Not where you’re concerned anyway.”
    “Last night you were a gentleman,” she said, looking up at him, trying to show him just how sincere she was about the way he’d treated her. “And there’s nothing sexier than a gentleman.”
    His lips lifted to a sexy grin that made her knees weak.
    “Sam,” she whispered against his lips. “Make love to me.”
    Sam pulled back to look at her and Summer held his gaze, hoping he’d feel the depth of her emotions. A moment later, he picked her up and crossed the distance to her bed in two strides. Laying her down on the soft covers, he climbed on top of her, pressing his body against hers so she could feel his arousal.
    There was too much between them. She pulled back the robe and watched as flames ignited in his eyes at the sight of her nakedness.
    “You didn’t think it was just you wanting this, did you?” she asked with a smile. “I was waiting for you.”
    As he claimed her mouth with scorching desire, the world slipped away. Summer could feel nothing but Sam as she gave in to the rough feel of his calloused hands as they teased her breast, and the passion in his kisses as his mouth claimed her swollen nipple. She cried out in exquisite pleasure.
    Pulling at his tee-shirt, she whispered. “We need this off. Now.”
    They rid themselves of the rest of their clothes and joined together, hot flesh against hot flesh. Her hands roamed his body, exploring, discovering places that drove Sam wild. And he did the same, using his mouth, his hands, his fingers, until Summer thought she’d die.
    And when he finally entered her, Summer cried out from the depths of her soul at the beauty of their joining. He moved inside her and she joined in his rhythm perfectly, breathing hard, matching him with every sigh and moan until they both reached the pinnacle of their pleasure. Pure pleasure exploded inside her as she threw her head back and urged Sam to claim all of her. And then everything seemed to shatter inside her until she floated back to a place where she could regain her composure.
    Sam followed moments later, his body tightening around her, inside her until his orgasm claimed him and he fell against her body, completely spent from their love making.
    And even as she continued to ignore it, a voice from deep within her said what she’d always known. She had fallen helplessly in love with Samuel McKinnon.

    Summer blinked as sunlight streamed through the sheer drapes that covered the windows of her bedroom. Sam’s warm, naked body was snuggled against her. Her own body was still achy from making love the night before, a beautiful reminder of a memory
