Marrying Dr. Benjamin Allen Pennington to Nancy Summerhill had its consequences: Adele Summerhill was there. The obnoxious Summerhill sister who had pursued and lied about Russell for many years while chasing other women away. The Summerhill sister who had inspired Lil’s Summerhill Attack method. However, Lil was delighted that Pennington finally had his own dancing partner. After meeting Pennington’s daughter, son, and grandchildren, Lil was struck with how much they resembled their father. A little stiffness remained between Pennington and his son but that was easing.On Saturday, September 2, the deal was sealed in the Alberta Temple in Cardston, Alberta, Canada. Russell was the witness for the groom and Nan’s mother the witness for the bride.“Ah, life is sweet,” Russell commented, walking Lil to the jeep while the wedding photos were being taken on the temple grounds. He looked around the parking lot at the temple and inhaled deeply. Lil glanced back at the wedding party and waved. Nan waved back but Pennington was still so nervous that he dropped something while trying to wave goodbye to Russell. Opening, her jeep door, Russell chuckled, “And I loved the look on Nan’s face when he walked into the room. I thought the man was going to fall right onto the carpet and faint.”“Don’t make fun of him, Mr. B,” Lil said, getting into the jeep. “I look at you just like that every time I see you in the temple.”“And I just about faint every time,” he chuckled. “When you get older like we are, you realize what a miracle it is to be loved like that.”When he slid in behind the wheel and started the engine, she watched her handsome husband’s face – the smile on it a combination of happy, satisfied, and wicked. If that was possible. But, knowing her Russell… It was. “I thought you handled Adele Summerhill very well,” he commented, glancing at her as he backed their jeep out of the parking spot. “You didn’t chase her clear through the building.”“I thought about it,” she replied lightly, thinking about the embarrassment Adele had caused for Nan while in the bride’s dressing room. “Summerhill tried to bully Nan but Nan’s mother stepped in. That man with her certainly isn’t what I thought Adele would marry but he was very kind to her. He was a good choice.”“Only if she figures out what she has,” Russell mumbled absentmindedly while waiting for another car to pull out of a parking space. “Well, Pennington is taking Nan to France for their honeymoon. So, now we go somewhere for our own anniversary?” Lil queried, smiling at him. “It was a month ago.”“Yup,” he replied. “I wasn’t about to take you to The Lake again while Pennington and Nan were still in town. Besides, I wanted my woman to myself and not with company!”Remembering their previous conversations concerning such matters about her being His Woman and the results, she decided to remain quiet on that subject. Her mouth did not.“Your Woman?”Ooops. Well, they were in the car… What could he do?His size twelve mahogany dress boot slipped off the accelerator which jerked her body backward. He slammed the brakes with that same boot which jerked her body forward. He grabbed her body with his arm which jerked her body to the left. Then managed to mash her mouth with his Slam kiss while she was still in the seatbelt! And didn’t let up until her entire brain wave process went flat! “You don’t win, Ms. Sexpot,” he gasped after she went limp. “You will never win!”At that moment Lil agreed. She also agreed with her internal organs that perhaps she wouldn’t live long enough to argue the point with him anyway. Russell was and would always be lethal no matter where they were.However, it wasn’t his kissing that tried to kill her this time around. He wanted to take her someplace where they would be safe. A place where he didn’t have to worry about poachers, angry dogs, drug smugglers, cougars, or grizzlies in their path. Or hungry coyotes.Instead, Russell placed Lil in the path of a ve
