Blacksmith’s Heart ~ A Love Under the Sun Romance by Dellani Oakes ~ Part 15
Jasper’s eyes sparkled in anticipation. “Well, I reckon you can at that.” He winked. “We’re almost done cleaning up. Just need your dishes.

Enid nodded, looking thoughtful. “You know, I’d not have put it quite that way, but it’s surely true. Jasper is a fine fellow, but he’s still a man, and he can’t help it. You’ve got to be the strong one, Hana. Let the boy court you a while, don’t just leap at the first sign […]

“No! No, Hana! I can’t do this. I won’t!” “I know,” she agreed quietly. “I know. I wanted you to touch me. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have.” “I think maybe I should take you to your cabin,” he said awkwardly. His voice sounded tight and strained. “Yeah, nothing would kill the mood quite as fast […]

His work hardened hands held her soft ones. “You make things complicated,” he told her. “I’ve carried a torch for years. Now that I’ve met you, my heart is so incredibly full, I can’t even express it. To say I love you, that’s ridiculous, we just met. But when I saw you on the fence […]

“Thanks!” She took the drink with relief. “My cousin is shameless,” he told her. “Unlike his brother and me, he’s not got a shy bone in his body. He hits on every woman he meets. Please don’t think less of him for it. He’s a punk ass kid, but he’s a nice guy.” “Did he […]

Hana stopped chewing again. Her aunt didn’t know her lack of sexual experience. How much did she want to reveal to Jasper? Some men were terrified of virgins, others couldn’t leave them alone. He didn’t look like he’d scare easily, nor did he look like a lech, but she was suddenly embarrassed by her status. […]

A handsome man, he had passed his looks and bearing along to his son. “Not another J, I hope? I’m going to have trouble keeping track after a while.” Jasper […]

“Sorry I’m late,” he slid into a chair next to her. “But Bastion threw a shoe and it had to be replaced.” “Bastion?” “The horse I was on. Firestorm Bastion Prince Farrington. Crazy name for a crazier horse. We’ll never break him, but he’s great breeding stock. I thought he was going to bite my […]

Enid raised an eyebrow, making a wry face. “That’s your mother talking, young lady. She’s always trying to do the right thing, and not upset me. Drink whatever you like. Just remember, you’re driving home.” She winked. “I’m past caring about it. This juice is delicious and if I close my eyes, I can imagine […]

“Do I think that he might be interested in you?” Hana nodded, not trusting her voice. She wasn’t sure what she wanted, but she was pretty sure that Jasper would feature prominently in the picture. Marnie clubbed her with a pillow from the bed. “Do ducks swim? Honey, he’s never, in the entire time I’ve […]
