Falling Down(115)


"I take offense to that," Harley says as the guys chuckle.
I hear Sera squeak then growl.
"Ah, Sera's turn," Ben says rubbing his hands together. "I've got to see it." With that, he's gone.
"Go keep Meggie company, Xander," I tell him.
He wiggles his eyebrows. "More than happy to."
"He's such a perv," I tell Jesse.
"Feel better?" Jesse asks.
"It was until you reminded me it was happening. Now you need to distract me."
He leans in close to my ear and whispers, "Tonight I'm going to take your clothes off, slowly. Then kiss you until you're breathless, work my way down your body to your sexy * and lick and taste and finger you until you come all over my face."
"Dude, you better stop. She's starting to wiggle," Harley says with a laugh.
"I just got started."
I let out a breathy sigh. "He's really good at that."
"More than I need to know."
About twenty minutes later, my Blush tattoo is done, cleaned, ointment put on along with a bandage.
"Alright. You sure you want the outline and the color for the side piece?"
I nod. "Otherwise I'll end up with just an outline. I know this one's going to hurt like a mofo and if we leave it half done it's always going to stay that way."
"Gotcha," Harley says. "I'm all for getting as much done as you can tolerate."
"That's a big piece, Luce."
"Yeah, I know, but it's so pretty."
"It suits you," Jesse says.
"Thanks." I smile at him and he leans down for a kiss.
"Stand up for me, GK."
I stand and he holds up the transfer.
"I thought so," he murmurs. "You're going to have pull your pants down a bit."
"Yeah baby," Xander shouts from wherever he is in the shop.
I pull one side down past my butt. "Panties too?" I ask.
"Mhmm," he replies.
"I'm missing out on Lucy's ass!" Xander exclaims.
"And bra," Jesse grumbles.
"Lucy's boobs!" Xander shouts.
"I'll just slip this arm out and hold it in the front. No worries, babe."
Jesse's head snaps up and he grins.
"What?"
He shakes his head.
"First time you called him by a nickname?" Harley asks.
I tilt my head and think. Jesse lifts a brow, still grinning.
"Wow, it is."
Jesse nods.
Harley wheels his chair next to me. "He likes it."
"So I see. I'll have to remember that." I give Jesse a wink.
"Alright, that's better." Harley holds up the transfer. "Lift your arm."
"Jesse?"
"Got it," he says, wiggling his eyebrows. He puts his hand over my bra covering my boob and gives a squeeze.
"Jesse," I scold and he chuckles.
I lift my arm and Harley applies the transfer which goes from my hip to a couple inches underneath my arm and one of the stems with a flower wraps over my breast.
"Holy shit," Meggie says walking into the room as Harley helps me to the chair. Jesse sighs as his hand falls from my boob.
"Sorry, babe."
He grins. The endearment made up for the loss of boobage. Good to know.
"Don't freak me out, bitch." I flip Meggie off.
Meggie holds up her hands. "I won't, I won't. But it's huge."
"That's what she said," Xander howls in laughter.
I just roll my eyes at Xander but I'm laughing with him. He's such a goof.
"Here we go," Harley notifies me.
I nod. "All set."
The first swipe of the needle has me holding my breath but it's not enough so I let out a stream of expletives.
