“Ha, ha, you’re so funny.” She turned and walked in the back entrance to his shop, muttering about smart aleck men.
Going to the front of the shop, Zack apologized to his client who sat waiting, kissed Sandy on the cheek, and sighed. “Let me do these two men that are here waiting, but if you can talk to them for a moment, I’m going to ring and cancel the rest.”
Sandy smiled at him, tucked her shirt in, let her hair down, went over to the reception, and straight away took over. “Don’t worry about that. I can call them if you want. I don’t mind if you need me to stay here. I can help. I don’t have anything else to do now.”
Zack let all the tension that’d started to mount out and pulled Sandy back to him. “I’m the luckiest guy in the world to have you.” Leaning down, he captured her mouth and tangled his tongue with hers until they broke apart panting. “I love you, Sandy. I have a surprise I want to show you later.”
Sandy squeezed him tight. “I love you too, and I can’t wait to see my surprise.” Sandy pushed him away. “Now go work. I have things to do.”
“You have a job here for as long as you want it,” he said as he walked by with the client.
Sandy nodded and waved him away as she talked to the waiting clients and answered the phone.
Zack tattooed for free the two guys that had waited while he sorted out the drama with Sandy and found out his cousin had been murdered. He needed to keep his mind off what had happened. Concentrating on his work, he hoped Jake and his brother Brock would be okay. He wouldn’t want to be them at the moment.

They arrived home at six-ish, earlier than Zack thought they would be home thanks to Sandy’s help.
On the drive home, they’d bought takeout food and got some DVDs. They now sat watching a girly movie. Well, she watched the movie, and Zack watched Sandy. Her fingers were drawing circles on his stomach and playing with his snail trail.
“You said you had a surprise for me. Are you going to show me? I have waited patiently.”
Zack chuckled. “Yeah, I’ll show you, but only if these clothes are gone.”
He watched as she stood and slowly undid her blouse, kicked off her shoes, and slid the skirt down.
The tease made his already erect penis hard as steel. He snarled, got up, and pulled her to him. “You little tease. If you keep it up, I’ll take you right now.”
Sandy’s eyes lit up and she nodded. “Take me then.”
After picking her up, he jogged to the bedroom. Zack threw her on the bed and watched her bounce. “Now it’s my turn.”
Her eyes widened and she sat up. He slipped out of his pants and shoes, and she moaned.
“Mm, you’ve been commando all day. I could have jumped you at the shop.” Sandy came forward on the bed to wrap her arms around his neck. “Let me do your shirt.”
He grinned down at her and nodded. Sandy slid her hands up under his shirt before slowly lifting it off. He reached up to help her, and she chucked his shirt on the floor. She trailed kisses up his chest, paused halfway down, and fell back on the bed looking up at him.
“When did you do that?”
“You don’t like it? I did it this morning. Reggie helped.”
Sandy sat up and trailed her finger over the firebird with her name on the ribbon in its mouth. “This is permanent.” She closed her eyes and then opened them as tears slid down her checks. She traced the writing. “Always Sandy’s.”
He pulled her up and cupped her face. “I love you, will love you always.”
Sandy’s arms circled around his neck and her legs came around his waist. “I was worried. You didn’t say anything when I said it yesterday. I thought you were angry with me for how I spoke to your mother.”
“How could you not know I love you? In the short time I’ve known you, Sandy, you have accepted my profession, come and seen my shop, and stuck up for me against my mother. This—you, me, and Jake—is forever. I’m never letting you go.”
Sandy kissed him, running her fingers through his hair, and rubbed her hands over his back. Jake turned and sat on the bed. She deepened the kiss, and he let her have the control.
Zack trailed his hands up and down her smooth silky thighs. Sandy pulled away, panting, and trailed kisses along his jaw and down his cheek to his neck before she nipped his ear. Rising up, she rubbed her body against him.
“Tell me,” she muttered into his ear.
Zack dipped his finger into her pussy. “Firebird, you’re soaking.”
She moaned as he added another finger and pumped them in and out of her.
“Take me now, and show me how much you love me.”
