Summer Love at the Beach (Summer Instalove)

I felt my nose crinkling as I made a face. “I wouldn’t know. I’ve always been too scared to

talk to guys, so I mostly avoided looking at them so they wouldn’t make conversation.”

“I’m incredibly thankful that you’ve taken a chance on me,” he said gently.

“Me too,” I said, smiling up at him.

Mitch lifted me so that I was sitting in his lap, as our mouths gravitated to each other’s.

Kissing him was terrifying, exhilarating, and felt so perfectly right.

CHAPTER FOUR

* Mitch *

I knew that I had fallen for this gorgeous little treasure too hard, too fast. Every warm

smile, every soft breathy moan when I kissed her, made me realize that I was already in

love with her.

Feelings for any woman before Becca just didn’t seem real now. She was an entirely new

sensation. There was a freshness about her that I found fascinating. It wasn’t just her

innocence, although that was certainly causing a massive amount of blood to shift between

my legs. Her easy little laugh and lovely way of observing the world was inspiring.

I desperately needed to steer the conversation to something that would take the pressure

off the wave of lust that was building deep within me.

She had told me earlier about her job as a graphic designer at her brother’s firm, and just

as I was trying to think of a question to ask about that, she turned her bright eyes up to

mine. “You said that you used to be a stuntman. What do you do now?”

“I guess you could say I’m a computer geek,” I said.

“Really?” She smiled. “I mean, you seem smart. But I can’t quite picture you hunched over a

computer all day.”

“That’s why I have a standing desk. Plus I have a gym in my basement both at home and

here at the cottage. Coding for a few hours, then working out for a while – it’s good to

switch back and forth.”

“What sort of things do you code?” she asked.

I quickly explained my warehouse tracking app, and how it took off as a bestseller. “It made

enough money that I can take it a bit easier,” I explained. “Now I’m working on fine-tuning a few apps for people I know that need some help. I also have some ideas for some other

cataloging styles of apps, but they’re still in the sketch stage.”
