EXCERPT
“Kiss me, Merrie.”
Meredith Hope Ambrose widened
her eyes—her heart beating hard. Is
he serious? Or just teasing me again? She
was used to David Steller’s outrageous remarks—designed as they were to get a
rise out of her.
She looked down at the eighteen-year-old, where she sat
next to him, and let out a wistful sigh. He lay on his back, chewing on a blade
of grass and gazing into the leafy summer boughs of the old maple tree. The
afternoon sun filtered down through the leaves, dappling his long, athletic
figure with lacy patterns of light.
The very first time she saw
him, she thought of David the shepherd boy of the Bible—he was ruddy, with a
fine appearance and handsome features. Her David fit that description, and
then some. His liquid brown eyes, fringed with thick lashes, sparkled with
mirth, and tawny colored hair curled shamelessly around his face.
If only he meant it about the
kiss. Why can’t he ever be serious?
David removed the grass from his
mouth and rolled onto his stomach. He looked up at her with a familiar teasing
glint in his eye.
“Well?”
Meredith reminded herself he was
joking. Gazing at his beguiling expression, she was tempted to call his bluff.
But before she could respond, David sat up next to her and pressed his lips
against her own. Involuntarily, her eyes fluttered closed as she surrendered
herself to the soft, sweet feelings his touch stirred within her.
Her first kiss.
Too soon, David raised his head. He
sent her a curious look. Dazed by the experience, Meredith lowered her eyes to
conceal her bewilderment. She felt a telltale rush of heat spread over her
cheeks. He’d managed to get a reaction out of her once again.
It never failed.
