The day had quickly gone into the night, or so it had seemed. Pearl lay entangled in blankets on the floor of the barn office, in front of the fireplace, which they’d turned on more for ambiance than heat.

Tyson’s body was curled up behind her. He brushed her hair over her shoulder and placed a precise kiss on the base of her neck. That sent a chill straight down her spine.

“I don’t know if I have enough energy to continue,” she said with a breathy voice replaying the afternoon of making love in her mind. “But we could try.”

He chuckled. “We haven’t used the shower in the bathroom yet.”

Now she laughed. “I think it’s the only area we haven’t hit yet.”

His hand skimmed down her side and over her hip. “Chinese symbols on your rib cage. Angel wings low on your back. A rose on your ankle and an infinity symbol with a dangling heart on your thigh. Have I seen them all?”

Her stomach did a little flip thinking about him seeing all her tattoos. He’d done much more than that she thought, remembering the kisses he’d feathered over her skin, lingering at each tattoo.

“I think you’ve seen everything,” she said rolling so that she could face him. “The scar down your back, the one on your elbow, and another on your shoulder. No tattoos?”

“More accident prone than anything.”

She ran her finger down his chest. “I doubt that.”

“Lydia gave me the one on my shoulder. I was pushing her on a tree swing and got in the way. It knocked me down on a rock.”

Pearl pressed her lips to the scar. “Your elbow?”

“Football.”

“Your back?”

His eyes narrowed, and the playfulness faded. “Nothing awesome.”

Pearl locked her gaze onto his. “I stumbled on something.”

She watched as he processed it and she wondered if he’d trust her with the information.

“Horsewhip.”

She didn’t remark right away, but she couldn’t keep quiet. “Not an accident?”

Tyson’s lips tightened. “What does it matter?”

“It doesn’t,” she pressed a kiss to his lips. “Where do we go from here? I mean, I let you see my tattoos.”

A smile crept onto his lips. “Are you willing to let me see them again?”

“Tonight?”

He shrugged. “And tomorrow. Maybe even the next?”

There was a new pattern to her heart beat. It had ramped up to a remarkable pace, and that thrilled her as much as his promise had.

Lying there naked, her body wrapped around his, and running through her head was only one question. “What about Lydia?”

He shook his head. “This isn’t the time I want to talk about my sister.”

“Kind of a turn off?”

“Extremely.”

“Do you have food in that kitchen?”

Tyson’s face scrunched up. “Microwave popcorn?”

“That’s not good for you.”

“Wasn’t thinking I was going to be entertaining.”

Pearl rolled him back so that he was flat on the floor and poised her body atop of his. “I’ll tell you what. Why don’t we try that shower and then I’ll make you dinner at my place?”

There were no more words or promises before he maneuvered her up and carried her away toward the shower.
