And mine is hers.
And it really is fucking perfect.
I stay inside her until I'm going soft. Then I undo her restraints and pull her body against mine.
She drags her fingers over my chest, tracing the lines of my ink. "That was—"
"Yeah."
"You..." She looks up at me. "Just thanks. For the toy. And for... for everything."
Chapter Thirty-Nine
KAYLEE
Iget lost in my routine. Breakfast with Emma. School. Homework. Watching movies with Brendon on the couch. Writing. Reading. Bed—sometimes his, sometimes mine, sometimes without much sleeping involved.
Long weekend mornings with him. Work. Shower. Crashing in his bed.
Stopping by the shop after school so I can see him before he gets home.
Even though it meansif you're going to hang out, help outstares from Ryan.
Andattagirlwinks from Dean.
Okay, I kind of like theattagirlwinks.
It's Thursday, the night of the concert, the night before I leave for New Jersey, and the shop is about to close. I'm already in myI'm totally a rocker chickdenim skirt, converse, artfully torn up (by Emma) band t-shirt combination. I'm even wearing heavy makeup.
And I'm sitting behind the counter, watching Brendon work on a sleeve. The tattoo is meant to look like a robot arm, like skin stretched over metal. It's intricate and grueling,and the guy in the chair is gritting his teeth, refusing a break.
God, Brendon looks so handsome with that stern yet caring expression.
"Kinky Kaylee." Dean taps the front desk. He nods to the laptop—my laptop—sitting in front of me. "What are you writing there?"
Em calls me Kinky Kaylee. Sometimes. Why is Dean? Oh. "Did Em—"
He nods. "She came up to me all giggly. Asked if I'd been seeing anyone lately."
"I can explain."
"Nah. Don't. Apparently, I'm the reason you're walking around with that satisfied look on your face."
My cheeks flush.
"I must be quite the fuck."
"You have no idea."
"I'd like to."
I shake my head.
He pushes himself onto the counter. Turns so he's facing the same direction I am. "How long have you been staring at him?"
"I wouldn't call it staring."
"I've been watching. It's staring."
