Chapter Ten

The next day, Alex’s shift didn’t start until two, and mine didn’t start until three, so I drove him to my ex’s tattoo shop across town. When we walked into the shop, Sebastian’s business partner Jason was in the middle of tattooing a client.

“Hey, Kieran,” he said, glancing up from the wincing woman’s shoulder. “Back for more?”

“Not today,” I said. “Is Seb here?”

“Yeah, he’s in the back.” He craned his neck toward the back room and called out, “Seb! Get out

here.”

A voice came from the back. I recognized Seb’s voice, but couldn’t hear exactly what he’d said. A

moment later, my ex-sort-of-boyfriend appeared in the doorway, and his eyes lit up. “Hey, long time no

see.”

“Much too long,” I said. We exchanged grins, and in another time, he probably would have taken me

into the back room to “go over that design on the computer”. Ah, memories.

I put a hand on the small of Alex’s back and gestured at Sebastian. “Alex, this is Seb. Seb, Alex.”

They shook hands over the counter.

Alex gestured at Seb’s arm, which was inked to the wrist. “Not only the president but also a client?”

“Pretty much.” Never one to pass up a chance to show off the beautiful tattoos on his arms, Seb rolled

up his shirt sleeve.

“Wow, those are gorgeous,” Alex said.

“Thanks.” Seb smiled. Gorgeous was an understatement. Both of Sebastian’s arms were covered from

wrist to shoulder with colorful, intricate designs, and he had plenty more beneath his clothes. To this day, I got goose bumps just thinking about the dragon on the left side of his abdomen, and the way it moved when he—

“Did you ever finish the right sleeve?” I asked, cutting off my own train of thought.

“A few months ago, yeah.” Seb rolled his eyes, the light catching his eyebrow ring. “I swear, that

thing took forever.”

“I can see why,” Alex said. “The details are incredible.”

“He put it on too.” I gestured at Seb. “This crazy fuck actually tattoos himself.”

Alex’s eyes widened. “You do?”

Seb laughed. “It’s not as bad as you might think.”

The Closer You Get

“I’ll take your word for it.”

“Well, there are some who say I’m insane, so…” Seb shrugged. “Anyway, what can I do for you?”

“I’m thinking about getting a tattoo,” Alex said. “But then, isn’t everyone who comes in here?”

“Oh, sometimes people come in to try to sell us crap,” Seb said. “But in general, yes. What did you

have in mind?”

“Not sure yet, to be honest. Kind of figured I’d know it when I saw it.”

Seb nodded. “Okay, well, have a look at what’s on the walls and what’s in the books. If you see

something that’s close, or you get an idea, I can always do a custom.”

“Mine is one of his custom designs,” I said. “Trust me, he’s a god.”

Seb blushed. “Jesus, Kieran, I’m not that—”

“Oh, can it, Queen Modesty,” Jason said without looking up from his client’s shoulder. “Don’t listen

to him, kid. He’s one of the best in the city.”

Seb’s cheeks turned a little redder. He cleared his throat. “Anyway, have a look.
