I led everyone inside where Maisie and several of the other women had a spread laid out rivaling Martha Stewart.
I pulled her into my arms. “This looks amazing, Sunshine.”
She kissed me gently, tugging on my beard. “Thanks, love. Wish we were at the other place, but we made do.”
I laughed. “You’ve quickly become spoiled.”
“We could upgrade this kitchen, you know.”
“You wanna get into a construction project so soon after the other one was just finished?”
She gave me a sassy little shrug. “Maybe?”
I laughed. “Come and meet the new crew.”
As I introduced her to everyone, I kept her close, vowing I’d never let anyone or anything come between us again. She was my everything and I’d never let her forget it.

Two weeks later…
“ARE YOU SERIOUSLY not going to give me a hint?” I breathed out as Rooster kissed me gently.
He grinned giving my bottom a squeeze. “That would ruin the surprise.”
“Will I like it?”
“Baby, do you seriously think Minus, Razor, and I would take our women somewhere they wouldn’t like?”
“Well, no. I’d just hate to think it was somewhere like the Pink Priest.”
“Shit. You don’t like the Pink Priest?”
I gasped. “You’re taking us to the Priest?”
“Well, now I’m gonna have to—”
I gave him a sassy little grin as he scrunched up his face and let out an expletive. “You just fuckin’ played me, didn’t you?”
“I have always been smarter than you, honey. Just roll with it.” I wrapped my arms around him and stood on my tiptoes to kiss him.
“This is so fuckin’ true,” he admitted.
“I love the Pink Priest. Thank you.”
He let out a quiet grunt as he kissed me back.
“Are you ready?” I asked.
“Yeah, just waitin’ on you.” He raised an eyebrow. “Like always.”
I let out a mock gasp. “Rude.”
Laughing, he kissed me again, then walked out of the bedroom, muttering, “Come on, baby, grab your shit, we’re gonna be late.”
I followed him out to my car (it was too wet to ride) and we headed down to Portland to the Pink Priest. I couldn’t wait to see it through his eyes.
The foyer of the Priest was a hodgepodge of gold leaf and hot pink. The place looked like gaudy and elegant had a fistfight after drinking one too many lava lamps.
