Ink

I didn’t care what anyone else thought or said. All I cared about was holding this woman’s hand and never letting go. Something shifted between us. The open disclosure of our pasts, the stories behind our scars, connected us on some deeper level. Something I knew in my heart wouldn’t be broken easily.

I wasn’t a fool. I knew our road together would be no fucking walk in the park. But I was determined, and I would walk through hell with a flashing fuck-you sign on my forehead if it meant we’d find just a sliver of happiness on the other side.

Tightening my hold on her hand, I glanced down at her, loving the fact that she was walking beside me. That was where she belonged, next to me…with me.

“Yo, Ink.” Manic came rushing around the corner. “I’ve been looking for you everywhere, man.”

“What’s up?”

Manic glanced at Neon. Either he didn’t see we were holding hands, or just didn’t feel the need to crack a joke about it.

Neon let go of my hand, and in my mind I dropped an entire vocabulary of fucks, fucking, fuckers and fuck-this-shits.

“I’ll give you two some privacy.” She smiled before walking off down the hall.

I glared at Manic. “I hope someone is dying. If not, I’ll have to kick your ass.”

“I’d like to see you try.” The challenge clung to the arrogant smirk on his face. “But seriously, though. We have trouble.”

“What kind of trouble?”

“Crow. He suspects we know where Slither is.”

I crossed my arms. “How?”

“I dunno how. All I know is the Sixes are watching us like hawks.”

“How do you know this?”

He backtracked a little, and for a fleeting moment I saw a strange look in his eyes. “I just know.”

“How the fuck do you know, Manic?”

He rubbed the back of his neck, staring down at the ground, looking guilty as sin.

“Manic, what the fuck is going on?”

“Nothing.”

“Manic,” I growled, grabbing him by the collar and slamming his back against the wall. “What. The fuck. Is going. On?”

“I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.”

“You’re lying. I saw that look between you and Crow the other day.”

“What look?”

I tightened my grip on his cut. “The kind of look that proves you’re hiding something from us.”

Manic’s green eyes studied me, a few seconds ticking by before he shoved me away from him. “Fine. But you need to swear to me this stays between us.”

“No can do, brother. It depends on what the fuck you’re about to tell me.”

Manic pushed away from the wall. “A secret for a secret.”

Sly motherfucker, cashing in the IOU card he had by not telling anyone I had Slither chained and demented in a secret room no one else knew about.

Grinding my teeth and curbing my annoyance, I nodded in agreement.

Manic stepped closer, glancing up and down the hall. “Crow’s doing me a favor.”

“What kind of favor?”

“Personal.”

I shook my head at him, a simple indication that his answer wasn’t good enough.

Pulling his hand through his hair, he pressed his lips into a thin line before finally letting out a sigh.
