“What?”

“This is beautiful!”

She flipped the book around so I could see. I was staring at one of my earlier works; the silhouette of a unicorn against the moon, rearing up beneath a shower of stars. It was a small but delicate piece, with crisp, wispy lines that encircled a small, midnight meadow.

“Ever tattoo this on anyone?” she asked.

“No.”

“Would you put it on me?”

I stared back at her for what felt like a very long time. The longer I looked, the deeper into those sapphire eyes I managed to tumble.

“Really?”

“Yes!”

Her enthusiasm was contagious. I looked back at the drawing.

“When?”

Camryn shrugged, and smiled demurely. “You can do it right now, if you want.”

I paused again, but only to freeze the moment in time. Her face was all lit up with excitement. Totally alive, and never more beautiful.

Hopping from my bed, I moved to get my kit.

Damn,I swore to myself.Look at her…

Actually, I couldn’t stop looking at her. Especially since she was now shimmying out of her T-shirt.

She’s fucking perfect.

“I want her right here,” she patted herself with one hand. “On my shoulder.”

I set everything up, spreading a fresh towel beneath her as she lay down on my bed. I’d never tattooed anyone in the house, much less in my own bedroom. It felt so oddly secret. So intimate.

“You’ve been through this before, so you know what to expect?” I asked, while prepping my gun.

Camryn sighed and scissored her feet. “Yes, but not really. I have a little sea turtle on my ankle.”

“I know. I noticed.”

She grinned, and bit her lower lip. “While fucking me?”

For some reason, the question made me queasy with the overwhelming desire to have her. I actually turned red.

“It’s funny,” she went on, “when I got it I didn’t even think about that. But every guy I’ve ever had sex with seems to notice the turtle, the second my legs go over his shoulders.”

I sighed and smirked down at her.

“Not that I’ve had sex with a lot of guys, of course,” she added hastily.

“No, of course not,” I rolled my eyes.

“I mean, until recently,” she blushed. “I guess right now, I’m kind of on a tear.”

“You think?”
