“Chance meeting,” he said. “I picked the firstreputable tattoo place off Google in New Cassel and Preacher was the tattooartist with the only available opening.”

“Did you get the rose tattoo or the lion tattoofirst?”

“The rose one. I was feeling a bit homesickfor Harmony Falls and missing my dad in particular, so I got a rose like hedid.”

She smiled. “What did your dad say whenyou showed him the tattoo?”

“He laughed and acted like it was no bigdeal, but I think he was secretly flattered.”

“Why did you get the lion tattoo?”

“Preacher talked me into that one,” he said.

“Why do you only have two?”

“Because they hurt like fucking hell?”

She laughed. “Wimp.”

“Hey, there’s a reason I’m the spanker andnot the spankee,” he said.

She blushed, God he loved it when she blushed,and said, “So, what you’re saying is that I’m tougher than you?”

“Hell, yes.”

She laughed again. “Last question… willyou tell me Preacher’s real name? I’ve always wondered.”

“Simon,” he said.

“Wow… that was easier than I thought.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m surprised you told me. Preacher almostbit off Harrison’s head when he asked.”

“I know you’ll keep it to yourself,” hesaid.

“Why is his nickname Preacher?” she said.

“That’s a question you’ll have to ask him,”Gideon said.

“Right. So, I’ll never know.” She grinnedat him. “Maybe I should get a tattoo. I was thinking about getting one on myhip.”

Stupid jealousy immediately raced throughhim. He didn’t want anyone within touching distance of Gracie’s pussy but him.

“Why are you pouting like a little kid?”Grace said.

“I’m not.”

“You are.”

He scowled at her. “Just remember that noone gets to see your pussy but me, Princess.”

Her mouth dropped open. “What does that haveto do with me getting a tattoo? I’m not going to flash Preacher my lady tacowhile he’s tattooing my hip, Gideon.”

“Lady taco?”

She stood and wiggled her ass at him,laughing when he squeezed it as she walked by. He caught her wrist and pulledher to a stop. “I’m serious, Princess. Remember that your pussy is for me andonly me.”
