Putting her purse below her station, Katie said, “I’m feeling better. Must have been allergies.”
Kitty came over and leaned on the back of her chair. “Yeah? That’s good, because I was headed out to Hank’s last night for karaoke and I thought I saw Chase’s chopper in front of your house.”
Trying for nonchalance, Katie said, “Oh yeah, he brought me some soup and ... ointment ... for my tattoo.”
“Oh my God,yougot a tattoo?” Kitty said.
Crap.“Um, yeah. It’s no big deal.”
“Let me see. Where is it?” Kitty started trying to pick up her shirt, and Katie grabbed her hands.
“Whoa! Not here.”
Leading the way, Katie snuck around the corner to the product closet and Kitty closed the door behind them. Katie picked up her shirt and Kitty squealed, “Oh, that is so cute, and he did such a good job! I’m going to have to go to him for my next one.”
Kitty pulled down the top of her shirt to expose her shoulder and said, “See, I love fairies; isn’t she pretty?”
The tattoo was gorgeous and intricate, but it was so big. “It’s beautiful.”
Kitty pulled her shirt back up and Holly peeked her head in. “What are you two doing in here?”
“Katie was showing me her new tattoo!” Kitty said.
“Shut up, you’ve got a tat? Let me see!”
Katie lifted the back of her shirt without another word.
“That is awesome, did Chase do it?”
“Yeah, he did,” Katie said.
Holly gave her a curious look. “I heard you guys were a thing.”
“From who?” Katie asked.
“A couple of people around town. Oh, and that new gossip column said so too,” Holly said.
“I’m going to burn that paper.” Katie felt her cheeks warm at her stylist’s scrutiny. “I’m not sure what we are yet.”
“Well, all I know is, if I was seeing a stud like that, I’d make sure he was all mine. Brand him like a baby cow,” Holly said.
“You are so bad!” Kitty giggled.
“I’ll be out in a minute. I just need to grab a few things,” Katie said.
The other girls headed out and Katie lifted up her hair. In the small mirror on the door, she looked at the purple hickey Chase had left toward the back of her neck. She had always thought hickeys were disgusting, but the feel of Chase’s mouth latched onto her skin last night, sucking and kissing ...
Well, it made her ache all over again.
She closed her eyes, thinking about the way they’d taken turns in the cuffs, using nearly all of both the edible gel tubes, eating the liquid off each other’s skin. She’d loved the feel of him straining under her when she’d cuffed him to the headboard, trailing her lips over his body until he had practically begged her to let him go. Once he was free, he had rolled her onto her stomach, cuffing her while he used his stubble on her back, making her squirm and writhe. Chase had undone the cuffs right before he brought her knees up and slid into her from behind, curling his body over hers. He’d kissed her neck while he’d slipped out of her slowly, running his erection in low and out high. Katie had pushed back against him as he’d used one hand to play with her breast and nipple. Bringing his other hand up, Chase had held both of her breasts in his hands while he kissed, licked, and sucked at the skin of her neck. Nuzzling her hair aside, he’d whispered just under her ear, “I can’t get enough of you, I ...”
The door flew open and Katie, brought back to where she was, dropped her hair into place.
Kitty gave her a strange look and asked, “Are you okay?”
“Sure, just needed some stuff,” Katie said, hoping her burning cheeks didn’t make her look too suspicious.
“Okay, well, your first appointment is here.”
