“I always listen to you, I just like to push you a little. You would have never moved back home with me unless I did it for you. And don’t lie to my face and tell me, yes, you would have.”
“I would have, Dex.” He just shakes his head at me. I sigh, exhausted from today's shit.
“As for the girl in there… She was touching me. I was being polite by not causing a scene in the studio.”
“So when I go out and some random lad touches my arm, I can let him touch me and not make a scene. Good to know, Dex, I will remember that the next time some bloke touches me,” I say smugly.
“Do not even go there, Addy.”
“Why?”
“You belong to me and only me, Addy.”
“That’s funny, because I thought that went both ways. But you seemed perfectly happy to let some skank touch you. And you were more than happy to tattoo her, ‘where no other man will ever see’,” I say mimicking the girl’s voice.
“Jesus - fuck.” He runs his hands through his hair, making his arm muscles tighten and look sexy as fuck. My core clenches; treacherous bitch that she is. It’s these pregnancy hormones, that is my excuse and I am sticking to it. I look towards the studio window and see the bitch standing there with her arms crossed under her fake tits and a smirk on her face. My stomach rolls again at the thought her touching Dex. I bring my gaze back to Dex.
“I’m going to go. You have a skank to tattoo. I will have Lauren or Joe come and pick me up.” I pull out my phone to text Lauren. I hear Dex mutter ‘fuck’ under his breath. I look up and just see him looking away from Castle Ink.
“No.” He snatches my phone out of my hand.
“Dex. Give it back. I am way too bloody tired to fight with you anymore. This baby is going to be here before we know it and I need all the sleep I can get.”
“Baby, you loved sleep before you got preggers, so don’t use my baby as an excuse.” I would normally smile at his reply, but I don’t. I swear mini Castle is sucking all of the energy out of me. How can women do this more than once? They are my heroes, I tell you.
“Please, let me go home. I want to power nap for an hour… or twelve,” I whine. Dex steps forward and wraps his arms around me; I don’t stop him this time. He is using my tiredness to his advantage. He steers me towards the door of Castle Ink, but my steps falter. I don’t want to go in there wheresheis waiting for him. I shake my head, but Dex keeps pulling me with him. He is way stronger than me so I don’t stand a chance against this tattooed beast of a man. Dex shoves the door open and the girl’s face brightens when he walks in behind me. She completely overlooks me, but that is okay with me; I don’t want her skanky eyes looking at me. Without looking at her, he pushes me forward towards his room.
“Dex, are we going to do my tattoo today, babe? I can go and wait in your room for you.”
Dex stops walking behind me, he hooks his fingers into the belt loops on my dungarees to stop my path. Pulling me gently back to him, he hooks his arm around my waist. He looks at the girl and then at me. He smiles down at me before lowering his head and he takes my lips in a bruising kiss. His tongue delves into my mouth, tasting every inch of my gums. He pulls his head back and winks at me. My breath literally goes with him. He looks at the girl and smirks.
“Sorry, I will get Luke to get you sorted. I need to take my girl home and get my fill before our baby girl arrives.”
“So what was that before? You flirted with me; you made it sound like we were going to hook up later.” I pat Dex’s chest and smile at him and then offer the skank my most sugary smile ever and say.
“Sorry, it was a total lapse of judgement on his part. Believe me it won’t happen again,” I wink at her and pull Dex to the back of Castle Ink. Laughter fills my ears but I just smile to myself and keep walking, pulling my man with me. I walk into Dex's room and wait for him to close the door behind him. I turn to face him and put my hands on my hips, and glare at him. The nice girl act can stop now.
"Just so we are clear, Mr Castle. You ever and I mean ever let another woman touch you again. I will take Lauren up on her threat and have her cut off your cock and balls. I am perfectly happy with this baby being an only child. You hear me?" I say, cocking my eyebrow. He steps closer but I stop him. "Do. You. Get. Me?" I repeat. He stares at me and nods his head. Then slowly, a cocky smirk appears in his face.
"My girl is scary as shit when she is threatening me. Sexy as fuck, though. But since I love my cock and balls, I will listen to her. I need to father more babies with her."
"You just remember what I said and we will be fine," I state and sit down. My back is killing me. I know he didn't do anything major but I still didn't want to see it.
