“Read your fortune,” Lucas said, his voice soft and impatient.
She picked up the paper and read out loud, “Will you marry me?”
“Yes, I will,” Lucas replied and pulled her into his arms. “I love you, Kit-Ling, my Cupcake, moi melenkei kotonok. I want to be with you always. Come to papa!”
She just laughed and wrapped her arms around the muscular body. “Yes!” she yelled out. “Yes! Yes! Yes! And you never told me what that phrase meant.”
“It’s Russian. You’re the nerd, go Google it,” Lucas said. “Kiss me and I’ll tell you later.”
Kit complied, ignoring her friends’ hoots and teasing, locking her lips passionately with her very own SEAL. He kissed her possessively, taking his time, as usual, showing her with action rather than words how much he loved and wanted her.
“A perfect Valentine all caught on video,” announced Lulu smugly. “SEALed with a kiss! Haha.”
“Dude, check out that rock.”
“I did. I helped steam the darn cookie open, you idiot, while you and Lulu were fooling around.”
“Hey, we were in charge of—”
Everyone was talking at once but Kit didn’t hear a thing. She was too busy kissing her warrior on the most memorable Valentine’s Day ever.
THE END
I hope you enjoyed Lucas and Kit’s story. If you want to read about the other SEALs, here are their titles:
Jazz and Vivi’s story is in PROTECTOR
Reed (Joker) and Lily’s story is in SLEEPER
Zone and Stephanie’s story is in (Her Secret) PIRATE – a short story
Research notes
1) *Malala Yousafzai’s story can be found in many news articles. She was a student activist advocating education when the Taliban shot her in the head. She has written a book about her life.
2) Many women in Afghanistan and Pakistan and their shared border remain uneducated and dependent. There have been some positive changes, including the recent appointment of a female elder in the jirga, but there are still many violent crimes committed against young women. Through newspaper accounts and research, I’ve weaved my own stories about the victims, but the crimes are real, with very little justice handed out.
3) The Kurdish Peshmerga troops do allow women into their army. I am very fascinated by these strong and fiercely independent women. Their stories call out to be told. The recent assassination of three female leaders brought worldwide attention and of course, many conspiracies abound around their deaths.
4) The references to The Game is from my serial stories about a secret treasure hunting organization called The Temple. The books are titled The Game and The Pawn. You will find unexpected connections of “Ahmin” and Lucas Branson in those stories.
5) Downed Stealths and stolen Stealth parts are, unfortunately, real. A paint with a radar-cloaking agent is also real. My conspiracy theory putting those two items together, hopefully, not so real.
6) Moi malenkei kotonok is anglicized Russian for “my little kitten.” Wait until Kit finds out and call him “my big pink Cucumber” in Chinese. But that’s another story, I’m afraid.

From the talented pen of Gennita Low comes the second installment in her exciting Navy SEALS trilogy.
Hawk McMillan, SEAL commander, is on a lone mission. To get close to Dragan Dilaver, a Kosovo kingpin involved in drugs and arms–trafficking, Hawk helped him escape from Asia and return to his former country of Yugoslavia. Now Hawk has to discover where certain weapons have been dropped for Dilaver over the diverse regions of Montenegro, Macedonia and Albania –– not an easy task for someone unfamiliar with the territory. In order for the operation to succeed, he needs a tracker and the only available person is CIA contact agent Amber Hutchens.
Beautiful and smart, Amber has made a life for herself in Velesta, Macedonia and she is more than capable of assisting Hawk in finding the cache of hidden weapons. Despite the danger of exposure and torture, they risk everything in their mission to strike down Dilaver and his ruthless gang –– even their love.
