I turned back around to face him. He pressed a kiss to my lips before he walked back into the bedroom. I silently followed him, watching as he grabbed a sketchpad off of my nightstand. He flipped it to a page and walked over to me, showing it to me.

I am hers to call on.

Below it, there was something similar written.

He is mine to call on.

“I want to tattoo the top one on the inside of my left arm,” he told me. “I have just enough room to do it.” He pointed to the bottom one. “And I want to tattoo the bottom one on the inside of your left arm—a reminder that I am yours, Jessie.”

I swallowed thickly. Ink may be a hard ass to everyone else, but I couldn’t deny that he was one of the sweetest men ever to me. I saw a side of him that no one else got to see, and it warmed my soul.

“I like that,” I told him. I smiled up at him the tiniest bit. Reaching up with my hand, I cupped his stubble-covered jaw, running my thumb over his cheek. “You’ve always been so good to me. I’m sorry I’m always such a bitch.”

He flashed me that sexy grin that was all his. “Baby, I wouldn’t have you any other way. I don’t ever want you losing that fight inside of you, you hear me?”

I smiled up at him, a full-blown smile this time. “I don’t think you’ll ever have to worry about that,” I assured him. I leaned up and pressed my lips to his. “Got the energy to tattoo me one more time?”

“For you, baby, I’ve got all the energy in the world.” He winked.

Ink

When I stepped out of the back from my shower, Whiler’s birthday party was already in full swing. Jessie was at the bar serving drinks with Gloria and Elaina. Adelaide was talking to Jessie, and Jessie was nodding along to whatever Adelaide was saying to her.

My woman’s hair was piled into a messy bun on the top of her head, my name on the back of her neck on full display for everyone to see. Her name was on the back of my right hand, on full display as well for everyone to see.

I was hers—only hers. Had been for fucking years.

I walked around the bar and grabbed her waist, spinning her around to face me. She gasped in shock, her hands flying up to grip my shoulders as she stared up at me with those beautiful, dark eyes, her lips parted slightly in shock.

I leaned down and claimed those lips as my own. God, she was everything to me, and these lips—kissing them, taking them as my own—was like pure Heaven.

She moaned softly, stepping closer to me on instinct, her tiny body pressing against mine. I slowly pulled back and gripped her chin in my hand, waiting for her eyes to open before I spoke.

“You wear my name perfectly,” I rasped.

Her breath hitched in her throat. I pressed a kiss to her temple. “Don’t work too hard,” I told her, my voice stern. She frowned at me. I knew this was what she was used to doing, but she was mine now, and I was done letting her neglect her health. “I expect you at the table your brother and I will be at in two hours to eat something, understand?”

She scowled at me. “I thought you weren’t fucking controlling me, Ink.”

I gripped her ass in my other hand, tightening my grip on her chin the slightest bit. “I’m not fucking controlling you, my girl,” I reassured her. “But you are mine, and I take care of what’s mine. You need to eat. You’ve been neglecting yourself for too fucking long, and you’ve lost too much damn weight.” I loosened my grip a little. “Now, be at the table in two hours, or I will come back here and physically carry you over my shoulder to that damn table, got me?”

“Asshole,” she sneered.

I squeezed her ass cheek. She squeaked in shock, her eyes widening. “Table—two hours.”

“Fine.” She shoved away from me with a heated glare. “You’re such a dick, Ink.”

I smirked at her, and I watched as those dark eyes of hers darkened even further, her tongue flicking out over those perfect lips. “I haven’t become a dick yet, baby,” I told her honestly. “Don’t make me become one.”

I tucked my finger under her chin and leaned down to kiss her. She sighed, the fight draining out of her. With one last peck, I turned around and walked over to the table that Joey, River, Whiler, and Sam were sitting at. “Hot damn, brother. For a moment, I thought you guys were about to give me a porno for my birthday,” Whiler said with a grin.
