Jasper looked at Colt. “I’ll talk to Alec and let you know. Rogues are getting restless and
after last night…”
“We dont have to dance… Just sit and have a few drinks. Relax and get away from here…”
Emmy motioned towards the door An n walked out of. She made it sound like I needed to
get away. What she didn’t know, was I was going to be sneaking out regardless. Even if we
didn’t go, I was going to go for a
midnight run. It really didn’t matter to me one way or another.
“I’ll talk to Alec.” Jasper repeated.
“You girls need a ride?” Colt asked.
“I want to ride.” I told him. Colt frowned but didnt say anything. “Thank you.” Going up to
him, I gave him
a hug.
“Any and every time.” He muttered.
“Wear a helmet. I’ll be by to visit.” Jasper said to Emmy before k*ssing her goodbye.
“I will! Thanks for the concern!” I yelled a Jasper before laughing. I walked out without
even looking at his
reaction. Emmy came running after me.
“You know I love you!” Emmy wrapped her arm through mine as we made our way to the
garage.
“I’m a very lovable person.” Some may not agree but I thought so.
“Here.” Emmy put my helmet on me before I got on my bike. After she did the same, we
started our
engines and took off. At first, my ribs protested but at this point, I welcomed the pain. It
felt so nice to have the wind in my hair that I almost missed my turn.
“You feeling okay?” Emmy asked as we pulled in our parking spots.
“I could use a five hour ride.” There was sarcasm in my voice but I wasn’t joking.
“That would be fun!”
Unlocking the door, we walked in. I loved this smell. It was the smell of freedom,
independence and happiness.
“I’ll get the ink for you.” Emmy called out.
“Thanks!” Grabbing the rest of the stuff, I was ready to go with thirty minutes to spare.
“Why can’t anyone show up early?”

“It’s okay. I have a few things to do. Actually, I have a list of things I am going to have you
do while I work.”
“Oh?” Emmy wasn’t my assistant but occasionally I forced her to be.
“Yup. Easy stuff. Just call these people and verify everything is going according to
schedule. Email these people with the correct information and balance the checkbook for
prom. Here are the last of the feceipts.”
“Girl…”
“Please?” I fluttered my eyes at her. “I will allow you to….”
“Oooh, just give me an IOU. I want to hold out and cash it in when I need to.”
S hit. “Fine. I’m going to regret this.” My first client came in so I got to work on him as
Emmy got to work on the emails.
My first client had a low pain tolerance so its taken multiple small sessions to finish this.
Today was the last one and I was so excited to finish this one. He wanted one of my
drawings. It was of a sword with a pair of eyes from a wolf reflecting with blood dripping
off it. The shading was very delicate work but it was looking amazing.
“Let me clean it and then you can look at it.” Smiling, I was really happy with the results.
Spraying it, I was able to gentle wipe it clean. “Alright. I’m going to grab my camera. You
can go look.” 1
Alec and Jasper walked in. “What’s up, beautiful?” Jasper leaned on the counter at Emmy.
She immediately blushed which made me roll my eyes. Grabbing my camera, I went to
take the picture.
“That looks good.” Alec came over and looked at my tattoo.
“Thanks. Kris is a great artist.”
“Thanks, Matt. You know what to do. We are all finished.” Looking at my picture, I was
satisfied.
“Bye!” Matt walked out of my store.
“What do I owe this pleasure?” I sighed and looked at Alec.
