Tink
I walk into Cuffs cubicle, and he looks up at me “Got ya somethin’” he says pulling out a t-shirt, and I look at him
“You got me a t-shirt” he smiles.
“Read it” I turn the shirt around, and in big bold letters it has the words DEVILS APPRENTICE written across it
“Why?” I ask him, and he smiles
“Hello cause you’re the apprentice, and this is The Devils Tattoo Parlor.”
“You really want me to wear this,” I ask him, and he smiles more.
“Yep,” he says leaning down and pulling a couple more out
“Are you serious,” I ask not sure if he's fucking with me
“Yep” there in five different colors, black, blue, white, purple, and red
“Seriously,” I ask again, and he nods his head.
“Fine, I like new shirts,” I tell him, and he smiles
“Good now what’s up,” he asks me.
“Jaxson want me to design a tattoo for him,” I tell him still unsure why he would want me to do it
“Really,” he says
“Yeah, do you have any idea what I should draw,”
“He was talking about roses or something the other day if that helps.”
“Roses,” I say, and he nods
“Yep, something about how he loves the smell of them or some shit.”
“Roses” I repeat, and he laughs
“Yeah, roses.”
“Are you trying to set him up for some joke or something?” I ask him, and he smiles
“No Tink I swear he was talkin’ to his brother the other day actin' all girly and shit and I heard him tell his brother something about roses.”
“Any specific rose.”
“Nope”
“Ok I'll draw up a few roses and see if he likes them”
“Sounds good Tink, you doin’ ok, you seem quiet lately.”
“No, I'm good.”
“Nothin’ goin’ on at the moment,” he asks, and I narrow my eyes at him
“Why?”
“Just checkin’” shit maybe he saw me texting Markus, we have been messaging back and forth all week.
“No, I'm good,” I tell him
“Got any plans for tonight” I look at him squinting my eyes (he knows)
“Why?”
“Just wonderin’ if you're comin’ to the clubhouse tonight.”
“No not tonight,” I tell him
“Why not you doin’ somethin’ special,” he asks me
“You know don't you,” I say, and he smiles.
“Yeah, I saw the message when you were helpin’ Socket yesterday when lover boy messaged.”
“Why didn't you say anything.”
“Cause you’re an adult Tink if you wanna go out with the douche than that's up to you.”
“The douche,” I say, and he smiles
“Yeah the Prospects named him”
“Damn it, please don't say anything Cuff.”
“Baby girl my lips are sealed, but I warn you now Tink, that fucker puts one hand on you” I place my hand on his chest.
“He's a nice guy.”
“Who's a nice guy,” Lilly asks walking in.
“The douche” Cuff says, and I smack him.
“That's not nice,” I tell him
“Markus” Lilly asks, and I look at her
“Yeah,” Cuff says
“What about him?” she says
“Tink's got another date” Lilly looks at me surprised.
“You do since when” I shrug my shoulders.
“He messaged me after our last date, and we've been messaging and talking all week” Lilly frowns at me.
“Why didn't you tell me?”
“Because you can't keep a secret.”
“Yes, I can.”
“Maybe from other people, but the second Stryker gets you alone you spill everything.”
“Tink I'm sorry, damn I've been a shit sister haven't I” she pulls me in for a hug
“It's fine,” I tell her
“So, when’s the date.”
“Tonight,” I tell her, and she looks surprised again
“Tonight! Where is he taking you” I tap my nose smiling at her
“You’re not going to tell me.”
“Nope”
“Is he picking you up.”
“Yeah, he's going to pick me up here.”
“Are you sure Tink.”
“Yes, Lilly, I like Markus he's sweet.”
“But he...” I put my hand up to stop her
“I'm going, and you all keep your damn mouths shut, I mean it,” I tell both of them.

Jaxson comes in later that day for his tattoo, I'd drawn up a few things, but my favorite is a red rose with green leaves shading around it. A few, dew drops on the petals, and of course, I've put a tiny little fairy in the shading. You wouldn't know that it's there unless you were an inch away from his neck
“So Tink you ready to tattoo me,” he asks, and I smile, but I feel nervous showing someone a piece of artwork is like opening your chest and exposing your heart waiting to see if they'll reach up and pull it out
“Yeah, I've got a few for you to look at” but he shakes his head.
“Nope you pick the best one and do it; I don't even want to see it until it's done.”
“But what if you hate it, it will be there for you to look at forever.”
“Baby I trust you” he sits down in my chair, and I get everything ready. My hand shakes a bit; I have to grab it to steady myself. Jaxson must feel my uneasiness because he looks at me “You got this Tink” he winks at me making me feel a little better, I take a deep breath and place the stencil that I drew up on his neck, and it fits perfectly
“Ready,” I ask him, and he nods closing his eyes as I start the outline. It takes about two hours to finish, and it's amazing. Socket sitting with me the whole time giving me pointers
“It's really good Tink,” Socket says, and I can't help but smile, I sit back and admire the beauty of it as I wash it down
“All done you ready to see it,” I ask Jaxson, and he smiles
“You know I am baby” I hand him the mirror nervously and take a deep breath, my heart beating a million miles an hour. He slowly lifts the mirror, or maybe that was me and time has just slowed down, and all the doubting comes into play. Is it good enough, will he like it (fuck I hope he likes it) I watch as his eyes look surprised and I swear I've stopped breathing
“Well,” I ask to impatient to wait for an answer
“Damn Tink” is all he says lifting the mirror one way and then another.
“You hate it” I go to stand up, but he grabs me pulling me to him. I'm sitting on his lap, and he takes a deep breath, and I can feel his breath on my neck
“Why a rose,” he asks me, and I smile
“Do you like it” he shakes his head and my smile drops.
“I fuckin’ love it baby” his warm breath on my neck has my nipples standing at attention, heat rises from my toes to my face, and I imagine pushing him back and riding his cock right here. (dammit get your mind out of the gutter he’s a man-whore) “Baby,” he says, and I'm pulled out of my erotic daydream
“Yes” is all I manage, his hand rubbing my back in slow torturous circles and my panties feel like they’re going to combust with the heat between my legs
“Why the rose,” he asks me again, Socket getting up and leaving us alone
“Cuff” is all I say
“Cuff” he repeats, and I nod my head.
“He said he heard you and Jordan talking the other day about roses” he takes another deep breath.
“I was talking about you baby; you always smell like roses” I move back to look at him
“Me” he nods
“You” he moves his hand up around my neck and lifts my chin with his thumb his huge hand holds me around my neck, I look into his eyes seeing his eyes dilated and felt his cock harden under me
“Me,” I say, and he nods, his eyes shift to my lips, and I involuntary lick them and he growls at me
“Ahem,” someone says, and I turn to see Chelsea as I come back to my senses (fuck I'm sitting on Jaxson's lap) I stand up fast knocking over my tray.
“Shit,” I say starting to pick up the items off of the floor, luckily my gun was on the other bench
“Baby leave it” I see Chelsea smile and wave her hand at herself like she's hot and mouth to me
‘baby,’ I shake my head at her standing up and putting the items back on the tray and brush down the front of my jeans to wipe my sweaty hands
“Your next appointment is here,” she says, and I look at her (appointment), but she rolls her eyes at me “You know your appointment for tonight” (fuck Markus) we both have an unspoken conversation
“Right” I hand the mirror back to Jaxson “Just stay there, I want to get my camera and take a photo if that's ok.”
“No-prob babe” I watch him watch me, and I smile as I walk out of my room closing the door
“Shit he's early” I whisper to Chelsea.
“Yeah but he's cute” I frown at her.
“You think everyone is cute” as I walk out, I see Markus sitting on the sofa out the front. Lilly talking to him and he stands up when he sees me.
“Markus,” I say, and he kisses me on the cheek
“I hope it's ok I came early, I thought we could go and get a coffee before we head out” I smile.
“That sounds amazing the coffee shop down the street is amazing, I'm just finishing up with someone is it ok if I meet you there in five minutes.”
“Sounds great I'll order, what would you like.”
“Large cappuccino.”
“Great I'll see you in a couple of minutes” I smile and watch him walk out the door, I let the breath that I was holding in, out and feel a little light headed
“Damn Tink you can pick 'em,” Chelsea says, and I shake my head at her
“He's a nice guy,” I tell her.
“And what about the sexy as fuck biker who keeps calling you baby,” she says
“Jaxson's just.........” (fuck what is Jaxson and what the fuck is it with him calling me baby all of a sudden) “Argh,” I say walking back to my room opening the door and stop. Jaxson is sitting in my chair (god he's so cute…no no he blew you off for a club-whore) all the heat I was feeling towards Jaxson cools down the instant I remember Summer on her knees “Sorry I forgot my camera is here” I bend down into my bottom drawer and lift up my camera
“No problem baby, take as many as you want, do you need me to take my shirt off” I frown at him, but my heart skips a beat (fuck no I'd spontaneously combust) I shake my head.
“No need” I lift my camera and take a few shots for my portfolio and show Jaxson the picture
“You did really good, baby, it's perfect” I look at him and frown
“Ok, what's with the baby shit” he shrugs.
“Nothing I just like it” (yeah, I remember you calling the whore that too)
“Yeah well quit it, it's KC or Tink nothing else,” I tell him but he laughs, but I frown at him
“Ok Tink,” he says standing, and I take a step back. He's so tall; I have to look back to look at him. I come to his chest in height. I feel so small, compared to him. He runs his knuckles down my cheek, and I have to close my legs together tight to ease the ache down there “See you later baby” he says and the spells broken, I step back and smile
“See ya Jaxson” he stops at the door and looks back at me.
“You wanna go for a ride” I force my head side to side, but my inner rebel is screaming yes. If I go for a ride maybe he might stop somewhere and fuck your brains out, but the sensible, logical women inside of me pushes the rebel down, and I shake my head no
“Not tonight,” I tell him.
“Another time then,” he says
“Maybe,” I say, and he nods at me tapping the door frame with his knuckle
“Later baby” he disappears, and I hear the front door chime. I sit down and just stare at the stencil I used for his tattoo, lost in thought being so close to him for that long had my skin on fire with every brush of my breast rubbing his arm. My nipples aching by the time we were done and my panties were soaked with an ache inside like nothing before. Taking a deep breath, I try and get my emotions back on track (he blew you off) I remind myself
“You forget something,” Lilly says, and I look at her
“Sorry What?”
“Have you forgotten something, you’re supposed to be doing right now” I shake my head, and she laughs at me
“What?” I ask her
“A certain English teacher,” she says (fuck Markus)
“Shit Markus,” I say and grab my bag heading out the door
“Have fun” she shouts out.
****
Jaxson
“Damn man, it looks good. I can't believe Tink done that; it looks so realistic” Jordan says as he looks at it “Why the rose?”
“Cuff heard us the other day, and he told Tink we were talking about roses and that I liked them” Jordan laughs
“Well your fuckin’ lucky it looks good man, I love the little fairy she's put in the shading.”
“What where?” he points to it, and I look closer at it smiling
“The woman's marked you, man.”
*
Jordan and I are standing behind the bar when someone rubs my ass, and I turn to see Summer smiling at me “Hey darlin you want some company tonight” she says, but I frown at her
“Not tonight” (I'm waiting for the only woman my dick wants)
“You sure.”
“Positive”
“You waiting for someone in particular,” she asks me
“Why?”
“No reason you keep eyeing the door like you’re expecting someone”
“Well, I'm not so fuck off.”
“God what crawled up your ass, I was just seeing if you wanted some company.”
“Well I don't,” I tell her.
I watch as she walks away in a huff (fuckin’ needy bitches), The minutes go so slow when Lilly and Stryker walk in, and my heart speeds up and waiting for Tink to walk in, but the door closes “Beer us” Stryker says, and I hand him two beers
“Where’s Tink?” I ask him, and they both look at each other, she's not with Tiny cause he's over by the pool tables with Oki and Dover
“Busy,” Lilly says but doesn't look at me
“Is she working late?” I ask her
“No,” Lilly says
“Than what's she busy doing.”
“She's just busy” I frown at her, but she's not looking at me
“Lilly,” I say, and she turns to me
“Yes”
“Where is she?” Lilly looks at Stryker and I see him frown a her
“Just fuckin’ tell him, babe, he's not gonna stop askin’.”
“Fine, she’s on a date,” she tells me.
“A date.”
“Yes”
“With who?”
“Markus,” she says
“The Douche.”
“Jaxson he's a nice guy, and Tink likes him” I frown at her
“She didn't say anything to me today.”
“Why would she?” she says, yeah why the fuck would she, where nothing to each other (yeah you made sure of that fuckhead)
“Where’d, she go, on this date?” I ask, and she shrugs her shoulders.
“She didn't say” I feel pissed that Lilly doesn't know.
“Is it you don't know or you don't want to tell me.”
“I don't know,” she says, and I frown at her
“You don't know,” I ask annoyed
“Jesus Jaxson, just leave it will ya” she grabs her drink walking over to the table that Niya and Maggie are sitting at. I grab my phone and call her, but her phone just rings, I try again but nothing
“Stryker man aren't you worried” he turns to look at me.
“Dude chill the fuck out ok, she's gone bowling alright.”
“Bowling”
“Yes, now shut the fuck up and give me another beer.”
“Aren't you worried man?” I ask him
“No, I've got someone watchin’ her.”
“You do…. who?”
“Cuff,” he says
“Cuff”
“Is there a fuckin’ echo in here, she's fine” I feel a little better but not fuckin’ much, I can't believe she went out on a date with that fuckin’ prick again.
