“I love you, too, and I’m not about to let you get away. If it takes putting Marlene in charge of the diner and following you to San Francisco, that’s what I’ll do.”
She laughed. “I don’t deserve you, Brock, but thank you for being on my side. For everything, really.” Then she blinked. “Oh! I almost forgot. I have some great news!”
He drew her into his arms and listened as she told him about the newspaper and the restaurant reviewer. She finished with, “…and that’s why I came here. I wanted to tell you I’ll do everything I can to make sure we get a five-star review.Ifyou want to keep working with me, that is.”
“I do. And I want more. I want you to move in with me. No more overnight bags. No more sneaking around. I want to wake up next to you every morning. And think I’m ready to clear out Mama’s stuff. We could go furniture shopping together and find something new, something we both like.”
“Yes,” she said, and his heart warmed at her enthusiasm. “I decided I want to stay in Snowberry Springs. I loved living in San Francisco, but coming home reminded me how much I missed having family and old friends nearby. And if I left, I would miss you, most of all.”
He bent to kiss her passionately, sliding his fingers into her loose golden hair, and cradling the curve of her head.
“I love you,” he told her, his voice rough with need. “I want you to stay with me, Summer. Forever.”
“Yes,” she told him. “I want that, too. I’m so sorry about everything that happened. I never meant to mislead anyone. I just thought it was my problem, so I had to fix it on my own.”
“Promise me you’ll ask for help next time you need it. Promise me that from now on, we work as a team… arealteam.”
“I promise.”

Summer
Then Brock’s mouth was on hers, and she couldn’t think clearly anymore as his kiss stirred all of her senses, hard and demanding.
She wound her arms around his neck and pressed herself against his hard chest, wanting more. He answered her need by plunging his tongue into her mouth and boldly exploring every sensitive surface.
He let his mouth trail down her throat, nipping and biting the way she loved.
Summer moaned as jolts of sensation shot down like lightning to the tips of her breasts and to the already throbbing place between her legs.
Panting, she slid her fingers through his short hair, craving more of those delicious caresses that hovered on the knife’s edge between pleasure and pain.
His hands dropped to her hips, and he pulled her against him. He was already hard, the length of his erection pushing boldly through his sweatpants.
She made a protesting noise when Brock finally ended his kiss and drew back. Wanting more, she tried to pull his head back down to her.
He laughed, sounding as breathless as she felt. “Is it just me, or are we both wearing too many clothes right now?”
“Definitely.” She gasped as he bit the side of her neck, following the sharp caress with a lingering swipe of his tongue. Her knees went weak.
She needed him so badly that it actually hurt. These past few hours had been hell, thinking that she’d ruined everything.
But miraculously, he hadn’t held anything against her. He was still hers. She was the luckiest woman on earth.
She pushed her hips against him, hoping to encourage him to take the next step.
He only chuckled, his breath tickling the side of her neck. Then he bit her shoulder and slid his hands down from her head to cup her breasts.
His thumbs slowly stroked her nipples the way she loved, sending jolts of pleasure straight down to the pit of her belly. She arched into his touch, moaning with need, feeling pleasure so intense that she thought she might actually come on the spot.
“Please,” she panted. “Please, Brock. I need you!”
“Good,” he said.
His teeth closed around her throat, sending hot, liquid arousal pooling in the pit of her belly. Then he grabbed her hand and pulled her down the hall into his bedroom.
They undressed each other with fumbling haste, dropping and kicking aside their garments.
