really?”

“Absolutely, but you have to go first.”

Katelynn was watching us with an amused look on her face, “Are you two together?”

I whipped my head around to her, “No! Why would you think that?”

“Sorry, it just seemed like you were.”

“No definitely not,” I turned my gaze back to Drake, “Do we have a deal?”

He stared at me for a minute before answering, “Alright, deal.”

I grinned as I looked at Katelynn, “Good, now that that’s settled, show me my new tattoo.”

She held the paper in her hand out to me. I took it and stared down at the ink on the page. It was simple really, just my “Nunquam Amavit” in a beautiful flowing script with a small black silhouette of a bird beside it.

“I love it. Where should I put it?”

“Well, it depends on if you want to hide it or not.”

I shook my head as I glanced at Drake, “No, I don’t want to hide it, I want to remember this moment forever.”

She gave me a knowing grin as she caught me looking at Drake, “Then I’d suggest your wrist or your neck. Whatever you feel comfortable with.”

I thought for a moment as I looked at the drawing. “I think I want it on my wrist.”

“Good choice, I made it small enough so that it should fit perfectly,” She took the paper from my hand and held it up to my wrist, “Yeah this will work perfect. Now what tattoo did you pick out for him?”

I grinned as I pointed to a tattoo on the page in front of me, “This one.”

She burst out laughing as she looked down at the tattoo I had selected. It was of a butterfly landing on a flower shaped like a heart. Underneath that, the words “pretty lady” were written.

“I love it! Now, how big do you want it and where am I putting it at?”

I glanced up at Drake who was sitting across the room from us with an amused look on his face. “Don’t you want to come see your new tattoo?”

“Nah, I’ll look when it’s done.”

I gave him a devilish grin, “You’re going to need a mirror.”

“Really? And why is that?”

“Because it’s going on your ass.”

I sat in a chair next to Drake as she prepared both our tattoos. I glanced at him to see him watching me.

“Are you nervous?”

“Of course I am. I’m getting something permanently tattooed on my wrist and it’s probably going to hurt and I’m going to cry like a baby.”

He grinned and wrapped his arm around me, pulling me into his side, “I should be the one who’s scared. I’m getting a tattoo, on my ass mind you, and I don’t even know what it looks like. I wouldn’t do this for just anyone you know.”

I snuggled in tighter to him and took a deep breath. His scent assaulted me and I took another deep breath as my body started reacting to being so close to him. He rested his chin on my head and starting running his fingertips up and down my spine. The movement distracted me as I focused on every brush of his fingers against me and I felt my eyelids flutter and close as I rested my head against his chest.

It was moments like these that I truly appreciated the gentle side of him. He always pulled out the hard ass card when others were around, but when it was just the two of us, he completely changed. Whether I wanted to admit it or not, I loved both sides of him and that scared me. I was getting too close too fast and I knew I’d have scars by the end of this.

Katelynn cleared her throat and my eyes flew open to see her watching us with a secretive smile on her face.

“Come on over Drake, you’re up first.”

He released me and stood, taking off his jacket and setting it on the chair. As he walked over to where Katelynn stood, he slowly undid the buttons on his jeans and pulled them down so that I had a clear view of his ass. My mouth fell open as I dropped my gaze to the floor. He chuckled and I glanced up to see him watching me.

“What’s wrong Chloe, see something you like?”

And there was cocky Drake back.

“Actually I hate to avert my gaze because your ass is so blindingly white it hurt to look.”

Katelynn giggled as she motioned for Drake to lie down, “I like this one, she’s got spunk.”

He glanced
