CHAPTER

14

Tightening the bolt on the oversized showerhead, Dean reached out and turned the taps, overjoyed when it spluttered for a few seconds then spilled water from above. He grinned through the grime on his face, quietly pleased with himself. After slaving away beneath the cottage for most of the day he’d successfully fixed the plumbing, another big job he could tick off his list. The beach shack was beginning to feel more like a home, his home, and the very thought filled him with pride. All he had to do now was finish off a few odds and ends, and then he could use some of his savings to go out and buy some new furniture and necessities for the kitchen, and also a ripper of a barbecue.

Unperturbed by the fact he was fully dressed, he leant his aching body against the shower wall, the spray of warm water welcome against his sweaty skin. Tipping his head back, he opened his mouth, the water quenching his thirst and invigorating his body and mind. Feeling spontaneous, he removed his jeans, deciding he might as well shower now that he was wet through. Besides, it was coming on dusk – nature’s way of reminding him it was time to wind down and call it a day.

With his tired body slowly relaxing, his thoughts once again turned to Summer. The gorgeous woman had barely left his mind since he’d first laid eyes on her less than two weeks ago.

And just because he wasn’t wealthy, didn’t mean he couldn’t give Summer the world. Which, given half a chance, he would. He would do anything to make her the happiest woman alive.

And Summer’s response when he’d thought they were about to make love for the first time had shocked him, thrown him completely off balance. He’d misjudged the situation. The thought that she might now think he was like most blokes – just after one thing – troubled him. Surely she knew there was more to his feelings for her than that? He just longed to be at one with her, to intimately show her how very deep his love went for her. With only two days left before he went back to Afghanistan, he didn’t have much time to make it up to her. Had he fucked everything? Sighing, he closed his eyes, the water drowning out the thump of a car door outside.

Summer’s heart rate was out of control,
