"Pen? Where are you?" I glance up to see Mollie peering in with a towel covering her chest.
Her eyes widen. "Are you getting a tattoo?" She asks.
I gesture with a smile to the paper that Tanner made up as she runs over, taking it all in.
"That's it, Mollie. We got to talking about it and he had the same vision."
"Same with everything that Trinity does for me," Mollie murmurs as she gives me a curious look. "Tanner does portraits though."
"I do mostly portraits. I imagined it as she is talking and it's easy work. How's your piece coming along?" Tanner asks as he comes back in. Mollie turns to show him. "That's great."
I feel shy because she is half naked in here but neither of them seems to notice. "Thanks. Want to go to dinner with us after and discuss ideas?" Mollie asks as she turns around. Tanner glances at me and then at the clock as he seems to calculate something in his head.
"Yeah. I can tweak the schedule a bit after I get this done." Tanner sets up some stuff as Mollie watches, moving her eyes to mine. I could tell that she is excited about the tattoo and smile at her.
Trinity peeks around the corner, holding two coffees in her hand as she stares for a moment. "A tattoo?" she asks as Tanner looks at her with a nod. I see the look that she shares with Tanner before leaving as Mollie lingers for a moment.
I wish Mollie was there the second I feel the needle in my skin, I gasp as I grip the seat. What the hell am I thinking? This hurts.
I hear him soothing me and telling me that he'll be as quick as he can as I nod. It took me an hour as a kid to get my ears pierced. I knew then that I wasn't brave this way and I wish that I thought it through before I picture the design. It's gorgeous and everything I ever imagined in my head and Tanner got that.
I relax and focus on the sound of the gun as I push away the pain. This is new for me and with him, it feels right. Everything does. I know that it takes a while as I breathe through the process but Tanner talks me through it. He helps me up as I hold my dress to my body with a shy smile and turn my back to the full-length mirror as he hands me another one. I hold it carefully and look over the tattoo with a growing smile. It is gorgeous and I meet his eyes in the mirror. I drop the mirror gently on a table.
"Thank you, Tanner."
"I think that's some of my best work," Tanner tells me as he steps forward. "I'm going to check on something and I'll be right back." I adjust my dress and sit back down to wait as he comes back in. "Hey, my last appointment bailed. He's in a band and they got a gig. Want to go get some dinner at the diner down the street while Trinity finishes?"
"Sure," I reply as he leads the way and peers into Trinity's station. He lets them know the plan and I show off my new ink. Trinity gives him a long look as Mollie sends me a thumb up. He covers my tattoo with some cream and a bandage. I smile and Tanners lead me out of the shop with his hand on the small of my back.
CHAPTER 8
Tanner
I look at Penelope as we leave, then glance at the window to my place above the shop. Did I want to go eat some food with her or take her upstairs? I knew that she was ready for me after having my hand buried inside of her. The way that she tightened around me was something I'd never forget and I felt my cock twitch in my pants.
I look back at her to see Penelope gazing at me in the street lights before I stop and face her. "Are you hungry?" I ask her as she turns to me and looks up.
"A little but I can't stop thinking about what you said in the shop either. I want both," Penelope tells me as heat flares behind her gaze. "I know that this isn't me. I don't sleep with clients and now that I am going to break my rules, we are going to make this the best campaign ad I've ever done. We are going to keep business separate, regardless of the fact if this happens once or regularly. I just don't want to fight this because I don't think I'll feel anything like it ever again."
"We can order in," I tell her huskily as I take her hand and lead her to the door to my apartment, hearing her gasp.
"Where are we going?" Penelope asks as I smile back at her.
"I live here," I assure her as she falls into step with me and lets out a breath. I grab my keys from my pocket and unlock the door before leading her inside and up the stairs after locking it. I send a text to Trinity telling her that we are busy and see Penelope doing the same to Mollie before she slips her phone into her small purse.
Penelope looks around the spacious living room with a smile and walks over to the window for a view of the city. "I like this place," she tells me as I walk up behind her, sliding my hands over her hips, pulling her against me. I knew that she felt me against her ass because I am big when I'm not erect and right now, I am throbbing.
"I want you naked," I tell her as she shivers. I find the hem to her dress and lift it up, baring her to my eyes as she raises her arms. I knew that she is wearing underwear from earlier but the lacy thong still took my breath away. Her dress doesn't allow for a bra but her firm tits don't need one as I drop the black material and she turns to face me. "You're fucking beautiful."
"You're dangerous," she whispers before she slides a hand into my hair and pulls her lips to mine. This kiss has none of the hesitation I felt before and all the hunger that we both feel. I grip her and pull her against me, massaging her ass as our tongues dance together. I feel her hands tear at my jeans and loosen them before her small hand grips my cock. I lift her against me and she clings to me with her free arm as I walk her back to the bedroom. I can't wait. I drop her down and kick my jeans across the room as she shudders. I pull off my shirt with one hand and she stares at me openly as she drops to her back.
"This isn't your first time, right? I can't be gentle with you."
"No. It isn't. I haven't been with a man like you before but there's a first for everything," Penelope purrs as I watch her.
"What happened to the woman I met earlier today?" I ask as she looks at me.
"You. You turned my entire world upside down in the course of an hour. I am going to make this situation work but I can't deny you any longer. There must be more to life than business and I am giving that a shot with you. Screw being safe," Penelope rests her hands under her head and winces a little as I crawl between her legs.
"I'll be careful with the new tattoo. Maybe you'll feel better on your stomach," I suggest.
Her eyebrows shoot up. "My stomach?" she muses. She sits up and pulls off her lace underwear. She smiles at me and turns over and spreads her thighs wide for me. "Like this?"
I drop down to my knees and crawl to her sweet pussy. I grab her hips and move her to her knees and then spread her thighs wider before licking her sweet juices with a long sweep of my tongue. The moan that comes from Penelope makes me harder than I already am and I stroke myself for a moment before sucking her clit into my mouth. I move with her as I grip myself in my hand. I slide my tongue over her clit and inside of her as she pushes back against me, needy and wanting. She comes hard and loud.
I reach for the drawer that holds my condoms, rolling across the bed in my haste.
"Oh God, Tanner. That was the best feeling I've ever had."
"Stay there," I order her as I grab a few and rip one open, sheathing myself before I position myself behind her. "This will happen more than once, Penelope. When you're healed, I am going to take you on your back with your feet on my shoulders but not now. This time it will be you riding me with your glorious tits bouncing for me." I slide inside of her as we both cry out together, sinking all the way inside of her tight walls.
"Fuck, Penelope. You feel so good."
"Tanner. More," she jerks against me as I pull out and groan, getting ready to come. I grip her hips and slam inside of her again, building up a rhythm as our bodies start to slap together. The sound is hard and wet as our damp skin moves together, both of us seeking the release that we were striving for. I knew it is going to be good but as she tightens around me and her warmth coated my latex-covered cock, I let out a roar as I jerk forward and let go.
We rest against the mattress together as I stroke her back. I know that I am all in with her, business or no. "Want to meet up with Mollie for ideas?" I tease her.
She laughs. "I know the ad. You're going to be naked, standing in front of some beefy truck and showing off all your ink. Tires sold." She doesn't even open her eyes as she speaks, making me laugh.
"I think this might become a thing. Us. We'll have to work the ad around all the sex that we'll be having."
