I nodded and rested my head against his chest. My fingers traced the black widow tattoo. Underneath it was a Latin phrase that I didn't understand—In Pace Ultio. “What does that mean?”
Tanner looked down at his chest. “Means Peace in Vengeance.”
My eyebrows raised in suspicion. “Not a very happy motto.”
“That's not the point. In my life, things can go very wrong at any moment. There's only one thing that can bring you peace.”
I lifted my head up off his chest. “Did you already take revenge for Isaac?” I knew it was wrong to ask the second it left my lips. How could you be so stupid, Grace.
Tanner looked lost, staring off into space. “I did get revenge.”
“Did you find peace?”
Tanner sniffled and shook his head. “Nothing will bring back Isaac. But at least he can rest knowing that his killer was brought to justice.”
A tattoo of a small gun was marked on his side. “What's this one for?” I asked, trying to change the subject.
Tanner smiled. “I forgot about that one. That was my first tattoo—back when I joined Black Widow.”
“You mean you didn't get this spider tattoo first?”
“No when I first joined I had to be a prospect for a year.”
I scratched his head with my nails and Tanner purred like a cat. “Prospect?”
Tanner closed his eyes, deep in thought. “Kind of like a pledge for a fraternity. You do all the shitty work the MC needs done. I got this gun tattooed on my side after my first week with Black Widow. Isaac was with me at the time.” Tanner smiled at the memory. “He wanted me to get a sword with fire but I thought a gun would be more badass.”
I stood up and started putting my panties back on. “You should take a shower. You'll feel better.”
“Only if you take one with me.” Tanner's lips stretched into a grin and he pulled me into his arms. I giggled as he nuzzled his nose against mine. Would I always stay this happy with him? He had so much darkness surrounding him. How could we ever live a normal life?
Chapter Nineteen
Tanner
How could this be one of the worst nights of my life and the best at the same time? I lost Isaac but Grace—the beautiful and understanding woman made me feel so hopeful. That life isn't just about being an outlaw. It could be so much more. I just needed to trust her and follow her lead.
“Only if you take one with me.” I latched onto her and pulled Grace to me. Her lips tasted so sweet that I couldn't let go, not even to breathe.
I craned her neck to the side, revealing her bare and sensitive skin. I sucked on her, nibbling and love-biting. I looked at her backside in the bathroom mirror, mesmerized by her nice ass in a thong. I reached down and squeezed each ass cheek hard.
Grace jumped at the pain and scoffed. I loved it when she was playfully mad at me. I escaped into the tall shower and closed the steamy door, shutting Grace out. The hot water hit my head and cascaded down my body, warming me all over. I closed my eyes and let it wash away all the pain.
Grace knocked at the shower door. I could only see a naked silhouette of her through the fog. “Mr. King, the doctor is here to see you now.”
I opened the door. “It's about time. I need my annual checkup.”
Grace bounced into the shower, closing her eyes and soaking her blonde hair. Her hands caressed my body, moving from my chest down my happy trail. “There's seems to be a problem down here.”
I gasped. “What could it be, Doctor Holmes?”
“You're abnormally thick and long,” she replied, gripping my erection. “We need to release the pressure immediately.”
I nodded and bit my lower lip as she deftly stroked me. She was so good at this—too good at this. The pleasure was building more and more. I didn't want to come yet. It wasn't time yet. Grace kissed me and forced her tongue into my mouth. I had to snatch her hand away from my manliness before it was too late.
I took a deep breath and refocused my energy. It's her turn to feel the unrelenting ecstasy. I felt up her breasts, massaging and kneading them. I stuck my index finger into Grace's mouth and she sucked on me hard.
“I'm so ready for you,” Grace murmured.
I moved my hand between her thighs and grazed her sex. Grace moaned as I slipped two fingers inside her. She was so wet and slippery that it was almost too easy. She collapsed against me, holding onto me tight. I kissed her hard as I forced my fingers deeper and deeper.
“That feels so good, Tanner. Please don't stop,” Grace yelled.
I pinched her erect nipples and I continued to fuck her with my fingers. Her body reacted with a spasm every time I pulled in and out. I could feel her tighten around me. She was close. I curled my fingers and pushed against her wall. Grace opened her mouth and let out a groan, her body quivering all over.
