I nod. "Fucking my gorgeous boss."

She giggles. "That is lucky." She rises to her tiptoes to press her lips to me. "You should enjoy it while it lasts."

She took that assistant manager gig Ryan offered after our first Christmas together.

Now that she's done with school, she has the manager gig waiting.

She says it's only for now, while she builds plans for her boutique, but I'm not so sure.

She belongs at Inked Hearts.

It's brighter with her there.

The entire world is brighter with her there.

"What are you really thinking about?" She kisses me again.

"How I want to fuck you again."

Her eyes fill with surprise. "Uh-uh. I'm too sore."

"Yeah?"

She nods. "How is that a surprise?"

"Go on."

"You made this happen."

"How?"

"You know what you did."

"Tell me."

She shakes her headyou're ridiculous. "I don't think I have any more orgasms in me after that." She pulls the curtain and reaches for a towel. "But I'm happy to watch if you want to put on a show."

"Yeah?" I raise a brow.

She nodshell yeah.

"Not sure I'm up for it yet."

"Tease."

I nod. "You love it."

"Maybe." Her lips curl into a smile.

"A lot."

She holds up her thumb and forefingera little. "I'm going to get dressed. What do you want for dinner? I'm starved."

After two and a half years under her tutelage, I'm a better cook, but I'm far from skilled. "Let's order in."

"Something spicy, yeah?"

I nod. "You pick."
