Any weirdness I’d seen in Rachel’s apartment was forgotten the minute she walked out in that dress with those shoes. I’d seen her naked and in various stages of undress, but I’d never seen her dolled up like this. I’d have to take her out more often. Show her off.

The gallery show wasn’t like any I’d attended before. We walked past huge photographs of tattoos mounted on the walls. The skill level of the ink wasn’t anything like I’d ever seen. If the body parts weren’t visible in the photos, I’d have guessed these were paintings or drawings. I couldn’t imagine creating this type of art on a moving, living, breathing canvas. Rachel excitedly pointed out all the pieces that Dahlia did. After the first few, it was easy for me to pick out which ones were hers. They were always vivid, almost overpowering in their beauty. The intricate designs drew you in and made you want to explore each line and shade.

Heads turned as we walked into the exhibition and I knew they weren’t for me. Rachel was breathtaking and mouthwatering all at the same time. My fingers itched to wrap around her waist and carry her back to the apartment or nearest flat surface immediately. The heels made her ass look delectable and I couldn’t wait to sink my fingers into it.

“Damnit. I was hoping you’d chicken out and I’d get those shoes,” Dahlia said, coming up and giving Rachel a big hug.

“I’d have fought you to the death for these things,” Rachel said, kicking up her heel, showing off the bright red sole underneath. As if I didn’t have enough confirmation already, my time at Ace’s taught me those shoes cost quite a bit. Why was she slumming it as Thayer’s assistant?

“You’re scrappy. It would have been quite a fight,” Dahlia teased, grinning. “So, what do you think?” She opened her arms wide, showcasing the photos behind her.

“They’re all so amazing, as usual. I still can’t believe how big some of these pieces are. And that you did the photography for them too.” Rachel gushed over Dahlia. The proud smile she gave Rachel let me know she really cared what her roommate thought. And was happy she liked the exhibit. While Dahlia and I got off to a rocky start, I could tell she really cared about Rachel, which was probably why she tried to warn me off. I wasn’t the most upstanding of men.

“What about you?” Dahlia said, arms crossed over her chest. Her shoulders tight. Maybe she thought what Rachel was saying was just because they were friends.

“I think you’re an amazing artist. Tattoos or not, these are remarkable. If I ever got one, you’d be my first choice.” Her shoulders visibly relaxed and she smiled. The first genuine one I’d seen from her that wasn’t directed at Rachel.

“Thanks,” she said and there might have been a hint of a blush there. I’m glad Rachel had someone like her around, that would go to the mat for her, but seemed like a softie at heart, despite what the tattoos might suggest.
