VOTE LUCAS – NA CRUSH TOURNEY

July 8, 2014 by Jaime Leave a Comment

Hi Everyone!! It’s Jaime from Fic Fare!! I’m so excited to be a part of the #NACrushTourney again this year!  When I found out who I got to advocate for squealing was involved!  Lucas was and is my first NA love! This guy is who I judge all my NA guys against and they have some amazing things to measure up to!

If you’ve met Lucas, you know he’s gorgeous… but what is it about him specifically makes him stand out in my mind?

VOTE HERE


He’s Artistic:

“I stared at him as he sketched, his eyes moving back and forth from my face to the pad. At some point, his gaze began to move over the rest of me. As if his fingertips skimmed over my shoulders and down my back, my breath caught in my throat and I shut my eyes.”

He’s Thankful:

“Say stop, whenever you want to stop. Understand?”

I nodded.


“Do you want to stop now?”


My head moved back and forth to the pillow.


“Thank God.” 

He’s Protective:
“It’s not that I don’t want you. I lied, earlier, when I said I was protecting you. I’m protecting myself. I don’t want to be your rebound, Jacqueline.”

“Then why are you assuming that role? It’s not what I want, either.”


“What am I gonna do with you?”


“I can think of a couple things.” 

He Pays Attention:

It was the way you lean onto your elbows when you’re listening in class, when something catches your interest. And when you laugh, it’s never to get attention, it’s just-laughter. The way you obsessively tuck your hair behind your ear on the left side, but let the right side fall down like a screen. And when you’re bored, you tap your foot soundlessly and move your fingers on the desktop like you’re playing an instrument. I wanted to sketch you.”

He Wants To Do Things Right:

 “Jacqueline say stop” I shook my head once, my palm sliding down to press against the evidence of what his body wanted from me.

“Don’t Stop,” I breathed, telling him that I wanted what he wanted, unconditionally. I kissed him back, sure in the knowledge that my actions and my words were all the confirmation he needed to continue.

I was wrong.

“Say stop, please. Please.” The last word whispered was a plea I couldn’t deny, even if I didn’t understand the reason for it.

And then there’s this:

Eyes blazing, he looked down at me. “Jacqueline?”

I blinked. “Yes?”

“The night we met—I’m not like that guy.” His jaw was rigid.

“I know tha—” He placed a finger over my lips, his expression softening.

“So I don’t want you to feel pressured. Or overpowered. But I do, absolutely, want to kiss you right now. Badly.” He trailed his finger over my jaw and down my throat, and then into his lap.

I stared at him. Finally comprehending that he was waiting for a response, I said, “Okay.”

He dropped the pad onto the floor and the pencil followed, his stare never unlocking from mine. As he leaned over me, I felt a heightened awareness of every part of my body that touched a part of his—the edge of his hip pressed to mine, his chest sliding against mine, his fingers tracing from wrists to forearms and then framing my face. He held me in place, lips near my ear. When he kissed the sensitive spot, my breath shuddered. “You’re so beautiful,” he whispered, moving his mouth to mine.

In addition to all these reasons above, there are some incredibly superficial ones that make him amazing that I have to also add…. He drives a motorcycle, he’s got crazy sexy tattoos and a lip ring… and he works at Starbucks.  *sigh*


But above all of these things, Lucas has dealt with his personal demons and come out on top.  That alone should have him winning this competition.  Join me in voting for the incredibly sexy and swoony Landon Lucas Maxfield!  Spread the word by sharing on twitter #teamlucas #nacrushtourney14 and feel free to use the images!
