And she swallows it all down.

She’s so sweet to me. Too sweet and perfect. More than I deserve.

Is this love?

When she’s finished, I pull Summer onto my lap.

“I love it when you do that. It makes me feel safe and secure,” Summer says, making my heart pound for an entirely different reason.

She has rocked me to my soul. I trust her with my heart.

“Good. I always want you to feel that way around me.”

“I want you to know, you’re an easy man for a girl to get attached to,” she says.

“For a girl, or for you?” I ask, brushing her hair out of my face.

I swallow. “For me.”

I press a sweet kiss to her mouth. “And is that a bad thing? That you feel attached?”

“It feels dangerous,” she says.

I lean away from her to focus more fully on her eyes. “Why dangerous?”

“Because I’ve never been…”

“Never been what, sweetheart?”

In love? Do I dare let her say it first?

“I’ve never liked someone this much before. I worry that I’ll scare you away,” she says.

“Nothing you do could scare me away.”

“Mills might scare you,” she laughs.

“That your brother?”

“No, our older sister. She’s the scariest of the four of us. In fact, I’m surprised our mother hasn’t blabbed everything about our situation to both Mills and Owen yet.”

When we parted ways, Summer and Harmony’s mom agreed to keep our relationship under wraps for a while since people might question how it would look for Summer to be dating one of her investors.

I do care about her family and her reputation.

Personally, I don’t care what anyone thinks of me. But I’ll do whatever I have to do to make Summer and her sister happy.

Summer

The following day, I wake up with a strange ache in my boobs.

“That’s weird.” My breasts feel tender, but they haven’t felt like that in ages.

Carter, who slept over last night, rolls over and spies my concerned expression. “What’s wrong?”
