Sneak Peek Sunday: March 10



Today's six gives readers a glimpse of a playful side to Lucas.
He's always been so serious, but Avery brings out the better man in him.




As the tide pulled back, Lucas stopped, and waited for the next round of waves to come ashore. When
they did, Avery shrieked, then laughed afterwards. The water was chilly! As the waves slapped his
ankles and then retreated, Lucas laughed, pulling Avery further in. She resisted, shivering.

“Come willingly, or I’ll get you,” Lucas threatened, pulling her close to him.

“You wouldn’t dare do what I think you’re planning.” Avery narrowed her eyes.

“Oh?” That was a dare Lucas had to take. Avery started to back away. Lucas was faster. He smiled as
he swooped her up in his arms and carried her a little further into the water. When they were waste deep
in the ocean, the water slammed against Avery’s bottom, she screamed and kicked her legs, holding on
tight to his neck.

“Don’t do it!” she cried. She was shivering. She had a strong hold on him, begging him not to drop her.

“Don’t do what? Drop you?” Lucas laughed. Yeah, that water was cold, but he couldn’t go back on his
dare now. The horror on Avery’s face only made it worth it more. Lucas released his grip on her and
she plunged into the water. She’d never let him go, so Lucas went down with her. Fully submerged in
the chilled waters, he was just as shocked. When they both raised their heads from the water, Lucas
made a grab for her. “You will pay major for that, Avery Callimer, that’s a promise. I will get you.”

  10. Lucas actually isn't a cowboy hero :) The Baby Stetson pertains more to Avery, but there's a reasoning behind that explained in the story. Still, Lucas is just yummy. LOL. Thanks for coming by!
