“Yes, what, Princess?” Gideon’s fingerspinched her nipple hard through her bra.

She moaned. “I… oh God… yes, please, sir.”

“Then follow me, birthday girl.” He gaveher another sweet kiss and led her out of the kitchen.

Gideon checked his watch. Grace wasrunning a bit late from work and it wasn’t helping his damn nerves. He glancedat Tank who was stretched out on the kitchen floor and snoring loudly. “Tank,it’s Saturday for God’s sake. How many root canals do they even do on a Saturday?”

Tank raised his head and stared blearily athim before farting. Gideon rolled his eyes. “Gross. Bad dog, Tank.”

The front door opened. Tank scrambled to hisfeet and raced from the kitchen. Gideon followed him, grinning a little whenTank rammed his large body against Grace’s and knocked her into the wall.

“Tank!” Grace pushed at the big dog. “Seriously,buddy. My ass is already sore and bruised.”

Gideon leaned against the wall. WatchingGrace walk through the door of his house like she belonged here would never getold. Tank still had her pinned to the wall and his smile widened when she glancedat him and said, “A little help here? Your dog is trying to kill me.”

“Can you explain to me why Tank is now moreexcited when you get home from work than he is when I walk through the door?”

“I’m amazing and he knows it?” Gracepushed on Tank again and squeezed out from between him and the wall.

“Or you secretly feed him bacon when I’mnot around.”

“It’s bits of hot dogs actually,” Gracesaid.

He laughed and kissed her when she stoppedin front of him. “How was work?”

“Busy. Sorry I’m late. Did you go intowork today?”

“For a while this morning. I had some paperworkI wanted to finish,” he said.

“Did you already start supper?”

“Actually, I have a birthday surprise plannedfor you. Change into casual clothes and comfortable shoes and then we’ll leave.”

“My birthday was yesterday.” She hooked herarms around his waist and kissed his chest.

“It’s the birthday weekend extravaganza.”

“Hmm,” she reached down and squeezed hisass. “I like the sounds of that. Does this birthday weekend extravaganza includelots of sex?”

“It’s definitely on the agenda.”

She smiled up at him. “Cool. But no morebirthday spankings. Two different people at work today asked why I wincedevery time I sat down. I had to make up a story about pulling my groin atyoga.”

He laughed until tears came to his eyes.She palmed his ass before giving it a light spank. “It’s not funny, SheriffWalker.”

“It’s hilarious.” He rubbed her asslightly through her scrub pants. “But I’ll give your ass a few days to heal.Unless, of course, you don’t follow the rules.”

“I didn’t break the rules yesterday.”

“It was a special occasion.” His cock was hardjust thinking about how Grace had looked last night, bent over the bed with herass in the air. He’d probably spanked her a little harder than he should have,but she hadn’t safe worded. When he’d spread her legs after her spanking, herpussy and her inner thighs were soaking wet and she’d orgasmed at the firsttouch of his tongue against her clit.

The realization that Grace loved to be spankedand loved a little pain with her pleasure, made the idea that this would haveto end soon even more difficult to accept. How the fuck was he supposed tolive without her when she was the perfect woman for him?

He'd spend the rest of his life alone, watchingas Grace built her life with another man, had his children, grew old with him.That thought killed his erection immediately.

Grace, who’d been rubbing her abdomen againstthat hardness, took a step back. “What’s wrong?”
