Chapter Seven

Benny

The bell up front chimed as I applied the bandage to my client’s new ink. “There you go, man.”

I heard Zoe greet the newcomer up front. “Welcome to No Regrets! Do you have an appointment?”

A woman snorted. “I wouldn’t get a tattoo in this shithole if somebody held a gun to my head.”

No.

Bryn.

I smiled at my client, sure that it was tight. “Thanks for coming in. Zoe’ll take care of you up front.”

We shook hands and he left.

She was coming up the stairs. “Bradley, hey.”

“Bryn?” Bradley sounded shocked. “Hey, uh…what’s up?”

“Just gotta talk to Benny.” She sounded conversational, but I was sure she looked ready to kill.

She must’ve found out about the new shop.

Ryker and Logan heard her voice. Ryker greeted her first, like an old friend. “Holy shit, Bryn, we haven’t seen you in ages! How’s business?”

“Great. Never been better.”

Yeah, she was pissed.

She only talked like that when she was angry.

She was in my booth now, coming closer, her footfalls heavy.

Her breath felt hot against my ear as she leaned over my shoulder.

“Hi, Benny.”

My cock stood up immediately.

She shouldn’t have been able to do that so easily, not after all this time.

She still made me nervous.

And horny.

God, no woman had ever been able to turn me on like Bryn.

I turned, swallowing.

She looked amazing.

Her hair was a little shorter than it had been a year ago, but otherwise, she looked exactly the same. Stunning in every way.

It was hard not to miss her, or at least miss the sex we used to have.

“Bryn.” My mouth felt dry. What the hell was wrong with me?
