I stepped closer and wrapped my arms around her.

This felt so right.

“Bryn.”

She leaned heavily against my chest, wrapping her arms around my waist.

“It really messed me up when you left,” I said. “But I thought about it, and I get it. And it’s okay.”

She tilted her head up, looking at me. “Are you sure?”

I leaned down and kissed her.

She rose on her toes to meet me, shifting one arm to wrap around my neck.

I eased back just enough to talk. “I love you, Bryn.”

“Really?”

“Yes, really.”

She tightened her hold on me, kissing me again.

I wanted her. Now.

“Hey,” I mumbled, pulling back again. “Want to come in with me? Check out the shop?”

“I’d love to.”

I kept one arm around her, holding her to my side as I unlocked the door.

We went in together.

The new shop was gorgeous. The walls were light gray, with black and red stripes that reminded me of sports cars. Six booths lined the shop; equipment was starting to come in, but the booths were still largely empty, or being used to store supplies that had arrived before their intended cabinets. All of the metal I could see, including the light fixtures, had a chrome finish. It was going to look gorgeous when it was done.

And the couches for waiting customers had arrived. They looked beautiful. Black leather, sleek and modern-looking.

I dropped down on one of them, arms stretched out across the back. “This is nice.”

Bryn nodded. “I like it. I can tell you gave Ryker and Logan some creative freedom. This looks way more like them than you.”

“Yeah, but they’ve made good choices. I would’ve overruled if I hated something. Bradley, too.”

She laughed, looking around. “Are the windows tinted?”

“Huh?” I turned my head, looking at them. “Yeah. Pretty dark, too. In case anybody’s half-dressed for a tattoo.”

I heard a sound.

When I looked back, Bryn already had her shirt off.

My cock stirred at the sight.

“Well,” I said. “Hey there.”

“Hey, yourself.” She moved closer, settling in my lap.

I wrapped one arm around her waist. “I could get used to this.”
