She nudges my shoulder with her slim hand. “For a tattoo of course.”

Also, another thing that I didn’t expect, Kynlee wanting a tattoo, I clear my throat, “Okay, do you know what you want and where?”

She nods and pulls a piece of paper from her back pocket and hands it to me. “I want this quote, here,” she says, pointing to the left side of her rib cage.

I open up the paper and read the quote. “I am enough, I have always been enough, I will always be enough.” I think it’s an interesting quote to want for a girl like her. I mean she seems so confident and self-assured, why would she want a quote about being good enough permanently inked onto her body? , “You sure about this?”

She nods. “Definitely.”

Once I’ve gotten everything ready for her tattoo, I return to my room and see Kynlee lying on the table. Her eyes are closed and I wonder if she’s nervous or relaxed. Her face looks relaxed, but her body seems tense. I sit down and roll my stool over to her. When I lean forward her scent is all I can smell, it’s sweet and feminine, it’s better than I could have imagined.

I notice the goosebumps covering her skin while cleaning the area for her tattoo. It’s at least almost ninety degrees today so I doubt she’s cold, but I ask anyways. “Are you cold?”

“No,” she replies a little breathlessly.

While I’m tattooing the quote, “Send Me an Angel”byHighly Suspectcomes on the radio and I can’t help but watch Kynlee a little closer. There have been moments I’ve been sure she is nothing but the devil full of temptation and teasing, but right now, in this moment she seems more like an angel than anything else. As I move along with her tattoo we fall into the same breathing pattern. When she inhales I inhale, when she exhales I exhale. This has been the most unique and erotic tattooing experience I’ve ever had, that’s for sure.

I glance up at Kynlee because I can feel her eyes on me. Her brown eyes are watching me intently. I manage to finish her tattoo but my mind feels like it’s been overworked. I clean everything up then help Kynlee from the table. She walks overto the mirror and admires the tattoo. She looks back over her shoulder at me.

“Thanks Ace, it’s perfect.”

I walk up behind her. “It came out really good Kynlee. Now turn around so I can cover it,” I tell her. I kneel down and place the bandage on it. I look up to see her watching me again. When I stand up I notice she’s standing even closer and every time she takes a breath her chest bumps against my chest causing my body to hum in anticipation. Before I can stop myself, I grab her face between my hands and kiss her fiercely. The little shocked sound that she makes vibrates through my mouth and travels through my entire body causing me to growl.

Kynlee’s arms travel up my back until they are digging into my shoulder blades, but it feels so good. I bury one of my hands in her hair and pull her head farther back while pushing us back toward the wall. With Kynlee’s personality you forget how tiny she actually is, she barely reaches my chest. I give up and bend down, slipping my hand behind her thighs I pick her up until she wraps her legs around my waist. Her hands immediately start to play with my hair.

Nothing has ever felt this good in my life. My heart is racing just like it does when I’m behind the wheel of a car. Her scent reminds me of something that I can’t put my finger on. My head is foggy and full of lust, all I can think about is Kynlee and how good she feels pressed against my body right now.

My mouth leaves hers and begins to travel down her neck. She tosses her hair to the other side and her scent hits me again and all of sudden it hits me, like a bucket of ice cold water. That scent, vanilla, and honey. I press my nose into the skin of her neck and inhale deeply. I never thought I’d smell that scent again but here it is. Damn it! This is dangerous, so very dangerous. Kynlee. Kynlee is everything that I try to avoid in life.Ihaveavoided so far in my life. She’s the one that could unravel me, that could break me.

Slowly, I place Kynlee’s feet back on the floor, turn around and cross the room. I place my hands on the counter and grip it as if my life depends on it. “I’m sorry,” I tell her hoarsely. I don’t look back at her because I don’t know if I can handle the look that’s probably on her face right now and knowing I’m the reason it’s there, I know it’s something that will haunt me.

Kynlee

I stand there trying to catch my breath while being stunned to my core. I have no idea what just happened. One-minute Ace and I are all over each other, and the next he just walks away. He won’t even look at me. It’s obvious that he regrets it already. I really thought I had a chance with him. What the hell was I thinking? Was I that dumb? I mean, what would a guy like Ace James want with me anyways?

Ace can get any girl he wants and of course that isn’t me. My heart falls to my stomach and my confidence is completely shot. Ace stands with his back to me and is so tense I can see the outline of almost every muscle there. I want to say something but I don’t know what to say and I don’t trust my voice not to break right now. So, I grab my purse, toss the money I owe him onto the table, and rush past him.

I manage to make it to my jeep and out of the parking lot before the tears start to escape my eyes. I had set myself up for this, this is what I deserve, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. I walk into the apartment and Kenndrix looks up from her spot on the couch. One look at me had her tossing her laptop to the side and crossing the room to pull me into her arms. Her arms were my undoing, I let myself break then.

Kenndrix holds me and whispers that it’ll all be okay until I’m all cried out. Then she insists I soak in a hot bubble bath which she fixes. When I get out I found a stack of horror movies, pizza, chips, soda, and ice cream in our living room. “I know you might not want to talk about it right now, but we’re having a girl’s night complete with junk food and all.”

I laugh, “I think you’re supposed to have chick flicks not horror movies.”

Kenndrix shrugs, “Who wants to watch that fake shit! Guys in those movies always say and do the right things and the girl always gets the guy! It’s total bullshit. A horror movie is more realistic than those and let’s face it, they resemble our dating lives more accurately.”

I die laughing which makes Kenndrix laugh. The rest of the night we pig out and watch scary movies until we fall asleep on the couch.

Chapter 4

Kynlee

It’s been three weeks since I’ve seen Ace. I have purposely avoided the races plus my job has gotten busier than normal. Apparently, everyone wants to eat in our country themed restaurant or maybe they just want to see us in ouruniforms. We all have to wear denim cut-offs, a button up shirt that we tie under our breasts with a tiny tank top underneath that still shows off our midriff, and cowboy boots. Thanks to living in Texas for the past few years, I already had the clothes for the job. I also make killer tips.

However, I was going to see Ace today. Jaxx had a big race today on a legit track. Apparently, he races motorcycles and since he and Kenndrix still seem to be going strong she wants to go but not by herself. I get that, it’s completely new for her and considering how shy she is I can’t leave her hanging. So here I am in her car heading over to the track.

“Thanks again for coming, Kynlee.”
