The fiery burn lingered in my throat. "Nothing's wrong with being a gentleman, but pretending to be one just to impress women doesn't make you one." I smirked, taking another swig of whiskey. I surveyed his outfit, taking in every detail. He wore a vivid red shirt left open to showcase a muscular chest inked with a roaring lion whose fiery orange mane seemed to reach beyond his skin. Leonardo. Lion-hearted. That tattoo made perfect sense. A golden cross lay nestled atop the lion's mane, glinting in the light like a beacon of faith. It was clear that Leonardo wore his heart on his sleeve. His was a tattooed visual representation of his inner fire.

A tattoo on the leader's chest. I don't have tattoos. I have scars. Tears blurred my eyes as I put my hand on my chest. My scars define how strong I am. They might not allure anyone. I might be ugly in the world's eye but I know how these scars have made me strong. If they are powerful so do I am.

“There are some places in California I’d like to check out too, like Laguna Beach, for body-surfing, body-boarding, diving, and tide-pooling.” “A thrill-seeker, huh?” He grinned. “That I am.” I pointed to his tattoo, solid black, with curves that ended in points and interlocked in complex patterns and abstract designs. “Tell me more about that. I noticed it the first day at work, but I was too embarrassed to ask.” He lifted his short sleeve. “Oh. Well, this is the symbol of strength, power, and bravery.”

I asked. He looked at the tattoo and then looked back at me. "It means strength." He then smile mischievously. "You can touch it if you want. You know you want to." I rolled my eyes and snorted. "I'm not touching your-" The rest of my words were cut off as Tyler grabbed my hands and pulled me towards him. Taken off guard, I lost my balance and fell on top of him. "Tyler!" I screamed, shock by what he had done. He wrapped his arms around me, pinning me down so I couldn't move. "Tyler, let me go this instant!"

Rudolf adds. Rhoda is constantly reminded by God's Word, which gives her wisdom and strength to pray unceasingly that the gangsters don't forbid her to do, and she believes that everything happens as a result, including miracles, as she reads" 1 Chronicle 16:11-12: 'Seek the Lord and His Strength, seek His presence constantly.' "It is said here,”

Why the wind decided to seek me out now was just a poetic justice. Taking off his shirt I finally saw those muscles in full. For the last day I had seen hints of them.

Paw prints? “What are those about?” I pointed to my own chest then to him. Looking down he twitched slightly before shrugging, “Just something my brothers and I do when we start training. Conrad chose lines, Alfred chose stars. It’s like a a symbol that we have completed training.”

He was drop dead gorgeous, oozing power and strength. The man lived up to his name. Sebastian Longstorm. The name tasted like thunder and forbidden fruit on my tongue. His deep red robes, ceremonial yet slightly undone, fell open into a V at the chest, revealing a flash of smooth, golden skin. An intricate circular inked royal tattoo, stark black against muscle that rippled with every breath was any sculpture’s chiselled delight. Veins curved like art down his arms, and his back. I remembered it too well. Sculpted, corded with strength, and marked with my name like a secret meant only for the gods.

My pulse roared in my ears. “Aren’t you going to open it?” he asked. I hesitated. Then slowly, carefully, I tore the flap and pulled out a folded sheet of paper. Inside were five words. > “You are stronger than you think.” I blinked, the words blurring. That was it? No revelation, no secret, no brutal truth to shatter me? Just five simple words? “That’s it?” I whispered. His stepbrother tilted his head. “That is truth enough. You chose yourself. You chose to believe that your strength matters. Remember that. Because strength unclaimed is weakness.”

She pushed him away, confused by the feelings, his touch evoked. "what's that?" he asked, locking his lips and pretending not to notice her discomfort, curious about the tattoo meaning. "A knot," she replied. "To show how twisted you are? he asked, confused on why it had to be a knot she tattooed on her neck. "To show how strong I am," she defended. "A figure-of- eight knot, the hardest to undo." "There's no knot too hard for me to undo, just by kissing their tattoos, girls loosen up," he whispered closely.

✝ Psalms 91:5 "I shalt not be afraid of the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday..." "...A thousand shall fall at my side, and ten thousand at my right hand; but it shall not come nigh me. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked." Damien joined in. "Because I have made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most high, my habitation." Then I sang, the highest my strength could take. "Wow, I'm proud,"Damien said. "It's amazing. Why didn't you tell me about this before now?"
