Chapter Six

LOGAN TRULY HAD TO refrain himself from tugging Avery’s braid and hauling her away to her bedroom like he was some sort of caveman. For so many years, he forced away any feelings that were more than lust for a woman. He thought he knew that all women were conniving, sneaky, and untrustworthy. That was his gospel. But boy was he wrong; at least, he was hoping to be. Something about Avery was different; they were kindred spirits, both hurt in their pasts and in need of something more.

After helping Avery into his car, he headed east, further into the mountain range and toward the lake. There was a wine he had picked up at the store recently and saw it was local, so he was eager to check out the winery. After viewing their website this morning, it looked like a perfect place to relax with a bite to eat and a bottle of wine.

With the sunroof open and the windows down, Logan let the warmth of the sun wash over him. He releases a contented sigh and glanced over to find Avery’s head resting against the seat, her arm draped casually along her open window. As the sun beamed down on her porcelain face and rich chocolate hair, Logan can feel his heart lurch in his chest. He’s never felt the need to fight so hard for something. To conquer an invisible enemy that lurked deep within her soul.

An urgent need to hold her overwhelms him and he removes a hand from the steering wheel and grasps her free hand tightly. She doesn’t turn her head to acknowledge his action, but she twists her fingers so that they rest between his, and a small smile dances across her lips.

The winery slowly comes into view as they creep into the valley of the mountain range. A sigh expels from Avery’s lips and he feels a sense of nervousness and excitement at bringing her here.

After parking, Logan offers Avery his hand as they walk up the steps to the large wooden and stone structure that houses the winery’s tasting room. Sneaking a glance toward the side area facing the lake, Logan sees that the band is setting up. Perfect timing. They acquire their glasses for the tasting and join a party that’s about to begin.

Avery and Logan relax into a conversation as they let the subtle taste and aroma of the wine loosen their nerves. He makes a point to bring home a few of the wines she took the most pleasure in, while also grabbing a bottle of white wine to enjoy on the terrace.

He ushers her out the side door and helps her find a table before making his way back inside to grab the tray of food he had ordered earlier. Thanking the server behind the bar for keeping the food chilled, Logan heads back out to the terrace.

Before taking his seat, Logan stands back for a moment, mesmerized by the site of Avery resting back in her chair enjoying the music and scenery.
