Just a Kiss in the Moonlight: Georgia Moon Romance Book 2 Read Online Free Page A

Chase’s house were in full color right now. Addie was a fabulous photographer and had captured some beautiful shots of the area where they lived. The pictures she’d posted to Facebook the night before were of their three-year-old daughter, Isabelle, playing in the leaves.
    His one word reply made her laugh. “Brat.”
    The drive to the youth center was quick. She wanted to arrive a little early to make sure everything was set up. Plus, she wanted to see if she could talk Rachel into participating with the dance competition. She didn’t want things to get out of hand like they usually could with a bunch of teenage kids who came from diverse backgrounds.
    Before getting out of the car, her cell phone chimed an incoming text. Glancing at the screen she grimaced. It was from Margaret, her manager. Swiping her finger across the screen, she read the brief message.
    Taylin I know tomorrow is your day off but Luke McKay will be in his office getting some paperwork done. It would be the perfect opportunity to interview him. The open house is on Friday and I’d like to have the bulletin board updated by then.
    Why had she accepted this assignment? Her plate was already full with working three twelve-hour shifts a week and volunteering at the youth center.
    Thanks for the information. I tried talking with him today but he wasn’t at work. I’ll be sure and get it all done by tomorrow.
    After sending the text, she shoved her phone in her purse and climbed out of her car. Walking toward the entrance, Taylin heard the distinct sound of a basketball bouncing. She glanced at the courtyard and recognized the youth minister playing basketball with a few other guys.
    “Hey, Taylin,” Pastor Dave said, pausing with the ball to give her a nod of his head, all the while keeping the coveted sphere away from a boy she didn’t know.
    “Hey,” she said. “Is Rachel inside?”
    “Not yet, but she should be comin’ any minute.” Dave passed the ball to another boy Taylin recognized as a regular at the youth center. While the other two players aggressively surrounded the kid with the ball, Dave wiped his hand across his forehead. “Everything’s all set up, but holler if you need anything else.”
    “Sure thing.”
    Dave got back into the game and Taylin turned to walk inside.
    “Watch out,” someone yelled just before something hard slammed into her back. She maintained her balance and watched the offending basketball slam into the glass door, making it rattle.
    “Are you okay?” The male voice questioning her was vaguely familiar and lacked a southern drawl.
    Slowly, she turned around and met a pair of silvery gray eyes. What on earth was Luke McKay doing playing basketball at her youth center?
    He appeared as stunned as she was. He stood there, staring at her with his mouth slightly ajar. His dark hair was a little damp, and his jaw was covered with a dark shadow of whiskers.
    “Dude,” one of the kids yelled out. “You can stare at Miss Taylin after the game is over. Get the ball.”
    The other players all laughed, but Luke didn’t move. Taylin wasn’t sure whether or not to be flattered. She turned around and picked up the basketball. “Hello again,” she said, tossing the ball at his chest.
    He caught it, his eyes remaining fixed on her. “Sorry you got hit. Are you sure you’re okay?”
    The low timbre of his voice made her stomach dip. “I’m fine.”
    “Mr. McKay,” one of the boys yelled. Luke tore his gaze away and looked over his shoulder. “Pastor Dave got a phone call so I guess our game is up.”
    “Thanks for letting me play.” Luke tossed the ball at the boy. “And remember you can call me Luke.”
    “Yes, sir.”
    Luke turned back toward Taylin, his expression both troubled and curious. Although she wanted to ask why he was here and how he knew Pastor Dave, she gave him a soft smile and waited to see what he might say.
    Instead of returning the smile, his lips flattened. “I’m glad you’re
