Exclusive excerpt from TRIBUTARY, by Lisa T. Bergren. (Subject to change post-editing.)
“There’s always the She-Wolf gold we can tap into, if we need it,” I said.
“Yet another reason I need to wed you someday,” he whispered as he walked by, just out of Dad’s hearing. He moved to my other side, and when Dad looked away, he added, “So I can get my hands on all that lovely gold as a dowry.”
I edged away, feeling the heat of a blush. Because from the way he said gold, I had the distinct understanding that he spoke of something else. Me.
I had to admit, I liked his pursuit. He was dogged and dedicated. And in Gabi’s shadow, back home, just emerging from a belated puberty and braces, I’d really never experienced that with boys. Here, the boys were men at an early age. And Luca…well, Luca was a man that no girl could ignore for long. And he clearly wanted me. I couldn’t get over that.“So you’re only interested in my wealth,” I taunted as he bent to lift me into the saddle.
He paused, his face perilously near my neck. “Why yes,” he said, breathing wickedly on the bare skin. I started to edge away, laughing, but he took firm hold of my waist and lifted me up. He put my feet into the stirrups and grabbed hold of the reins, still smiling, as was I. That was happening a lot lately. The two of us, grinning like idiots, as I gave into what I assumed was inevitable.
I finally admitted it to myself, then.
I was seriously falling for Sir Luca Forelli.
OMGOSH I cant wait.
