“Does it hurt?”
“It aches a little, but it’s not that painful.” He cupped her cheek, tilting her head back for her to look at him. “Did you have fun today?”
“Yeah, I did. I don’t think I should go again if this is how you’re going to end up. You could seriously hurt yourself.”
“It’s not that bad. I promise.”
He dropped a kiss to her lips, wishing for more but waiting. “Show me what you got.”
“I can’t believe you gave Prue so much.” She took a step back, going back to the bed.
Whizz took a seat watching as she upended several of the bags. He saw the underwear and knew he wanted to see her in those.
By the time she finished the bed was strewn with new clothes and underwear. Sitting back, he watched the animated look on her face as she started to hold clothing up to her body.
He groaned. “You know you could get naked and show me exactly what they look like on. It’s just a suggestion.” Holding up a red thong, he eyed the fabric then her body. “Or we could skip the clothes and go straight to this.”
She snatched the thong out of his hand. He caught her wrist, tugging her down to sit on his lap.
“Your head is always in the gutter,” she said, complaining.
“Actually, my head is always thinking about your sweet pussy and how I can get inside you. I like to see you happy,” he said.
“Thank you for today. This was my first time going shopping with the girls. I like Prue and Angel. They’re nice.”
Whizz chuckled. “Wait until you’re forced to go with all of them. You’ll be in for a rude awakening then, I can tell you.”
She laughed. “I don’t know. It was nice having Gash there. He said some things that I took on board.”
He tensed. “What kind of things?”
Lacey smiled up at him. “There’s no need to be jealous. I’m not going anywhere. I’ll let you know when his words came in handy.” She struggled off his lap.
“Please, try this set on for me.” He held up the red thong with the matching lace bra. There was nothing to the set, but he really wanted to see her ink covered body inside them.
She took the items and walked back into the bathroom.
“You’re no fun,” he said, calling after her.
Lacey didn’t respond, closing the door behind her. He climbed off the bed, looking at her clothing. Whizz didn’t wait around. He tore the tags off and started to add the clothing to his wardrobe. Until he found a place for them both to stay they were camping out at the club. He didn’t mind. Whizz whistled as he worked putting her new clothes away. The silence was welcoming to him.

Lacey tucked some hair behind her ears, staring at her reflection in the mirror inside the bathroom. She could do this. There was nothing to it. Whizz was outside waiting for her. The lingerie she wore at Gash’s encouragement decorated her body like a second skin. She wasn’t as young as she used to be, but that no longer mattered. Whizz wasn’t that kind of man. He’d been through so much that he wasn’t that shallow. The ink that covered her body reminded her of a second life, another life that had long since disappeared.
The Savage Brothers were behind her.
Running her palms down her hair, she saw Dalton’s smiling face, staring back at her. No, she couldn’t let his image invade her thoughts, sickening her with the memories. The past was the past, and there was no way she was going to let it destroy right now. She wanted to be with Whizz, and even if she could go back and change what happened, she wouldn’t. Whizz meant more to her than the Savage Brothers, which was why the guilt was so damn bad.
“You can do this, Lacey.” She blew out a breath, holding onto the sink as she kept staring at herself. “There’s nothing to it. You’ve been naked together before. He has scars just like you.”
She wiggled on the spot, closing her eyes as another wave of doubts assailed her. Whizz was different. He would always be different for her. When they first met at the coffee shop she’d known it would be different.
“Are you alive in there?” Whizz said, calling through the door.
“Give me a moment.”
“I’ve given you twenty. If you keep making me wait longer, I’m going to get nervous. Any guy would get nervous.”
She laughed, dropping her hands away from the sink and taking a step back. He was right. Her doubts were her own. Whizz didn’t deserve this.
Nodding her head at her reflection, she gave herself a small pep talk. “You can do this. It’s just like riding a bicycle or something.” Shaking her head in laughter she made her way toward the door. The moment she opened it there wouldn’t be any backing down. “I don’t want to back down. I’m going to go ahead with this.”
