Summer Heat on the Missouri Farm
Susana leaned against the white fence of her family’s Missouri farm, the humid air clinging to her skin. She was eighteen now, with golden hair and eyes the color of a summer sea, dreaming of a passion she had almost tasted once before. Her thoughts were interrupted by the roar of a luxury red truck pulling up the driveway. Out stepped Simon, her childhood acquaintance and the son of her father’s oldest friend.
The last time she had seen Simon, he was a mischievous boy who played pranks. But the man who stepped out of the truck was a revelation. He was athletic, with broad shoulders and a gaze that smoldered behind elegant glasses. When he greeted her with a deep, masculine voice, Susana felt her knees weaken. The boy she once hated had transformed into the man of her dreams.
The tension between them built throughout the visit. One evening, under the heavy heat of a July storm, they found themselves alone in the barn. The air was electric, charged with years of unspoken longing. Simon stepped closer, his hand grazing her waist, sending a jolt of desire through her. When he finally kissed her, it was a collision of hunger and tenderness, a promise of a summer that would change their lives forever.
