~ GAVIN ~

The air in Maxwell’s balcony was heavy with the smell of cigar as we puffed into the night. A bottle of the strongest vodka I’ve ever had sat on the stool between us, flanked by our half-filled glasses. A speaker was blasting metal music inside the house, the sound filtering out and serving the perfect background noise as we talked.

After dropping off Sienna at her place, I came straight here knowing Max was the only person I could manage to see in my present state.

  • Divorced and Falling for the Tattoo Master   Upsetti Spaghetti

    ~ GAVIN ~ I stared at my phone for a moment after Sienna abruptly ended the call, the disconnect beep echoing rudely in my ears. Why exactly was she mad? I had laid out this boundary clearly. Why would she think I was bluffing? What about me suggested I was a man who talked just to hear his own voice? Something rustled behind me and I turned fast, instincts kicking in before awareness. This was Edward’s house. My father was somewhere on these grounds which meant I had to stay alert. Aunt Roseline stood beside a bush of yellow blooms, looking radiant in the dress she'd chosen for meeting her grand-niece for the first time. A swan brooch caught the moonlight on her chest, glinting every time she moved. “Is that how you youngins do the love thing now?” she asked, descending the few steps into the sunken courtyard. I'd left everyone inside to take Sienna's call — a call I'd been expecting from the moment I gave the order. Nearly the entire family was gathered there; Hannah’s

    ~ SIENNA ~He laughed, caught completely. “She did say you were smart.”I smiled back. “I might have missed it if you hadn’t looked like you were waiting for a biopsy result while waiting for me to agree to the ride.”To be honest, I didn’t know why I asked that question. Okay, I did. I wanted to feel flattered. To confirm I could still grab a man’s attention without trying. To tell myself I still had it regardless of what anyone thought. “I’ve never been a good actor,” he mumbled with a shrug. “But you must be an excellent negotiator. Margo wouldn’t do you this favour for nothing.”“Oh, you have no idea how many favours she owes me. Some are decades old.”My attention perked up. “Tell me about it.”“Mmm… Margo’s always loved celebrity life, and she used to make us play these dramas where she was a blockbuster actress and the rest of us were… well, whatever she casted us as. From rival actresses — who always lost to her, to valets to her fainting fans. And I was the one holding i

  • Divorced and Falling for the Tattoo Master   My best friend’s brother

    ~ SIENNA ~The potluck with Margo’s family was the best table I’d sat at in a long time. We had only just settled in. Margo was still making introductions, but I already knew I was about to have the evening of my life.The space itself was beautiful — long oval tables surrounded by cane chairs, tucked beneath artsy umbrellas and bathed in the golden glow of hanging bulbs.But even more beautiful was the energy radiating from every member of her family.“You’ve already met my mom, the reason for the season,” she said, gesturing towards Brenda. She wore a bright purple crochet poncho that complimented her skin tone in a way that would make anyone start research on colour analysis.We exchanged greetings. “Then there’s Kylie, our Silicon Valley connection.”Kylie blew me a kiss, and I immediately found myself grinning.“You’d think the most remarkable thing about her is that she raised three hundred thousand dollars for her tech startup,” Margo continued. “But it’s actually that she b

  • Divorced and Falling for the Tattoo Master   The potluck

    ~ SIENNA ~“Why do you want this job?” Margo read from the paper in her hands. “Because my savings are depleting fast and restaurants don’t offer free strawberry boba,” I replied.She chuckled lightly. “And why did you choose this company?”“Because you’re the only one of the twenty I applied to that chose me.”She grabbed the armrest to avoid sliding off the couch entirely, her body heaving in laughter. “Don’t you wish we could be this honest?”I sighed. “I know, right?”“Okay okay, let’s get serious.” She sat straighter. “This is a big deal.”It was. I had gotten an offer from one of the companies I applied to. A junior role — the kind of position that would have barely excited me five years ago, but right now, it was the only thing keeping my self-esteem from completely bottoming out. Margo was helping me practice for the physical interview. “I know,” I murmured. “I’m excited, but also terribly anxious.”"You’ll ace it. Don’t worry,” she said, with the easy confidence of someo

  • Divorced and Falling for the Tattoo Master   Lennon was right

    ~ GAVIN ~Aunt Roseline was farthest from me and in a more disadvantaged position, yet she noticed the interruption first. “Oh my God!” she shrieked, shoving the man away. He stumbled, managing to catch himself on the backrest, before turning to gawk at me like I was a ghost. Unfortunately for us all, looking away was not my first instinct. I’d seen people have sex many times — in prison, on biker campgrounds, in my club. But this was my aunt and— wait a second. Was he a priest?The man was wearing a cassock so unless they were cosplaying, he was definitely one. Wait another damn second. Did this mean Lennon’s accusation at the baby shower was true? I turned to face the wall, hands sliding into my pockets as I waited with the patience of a man who had survived worse things. The sounds of frantic rearrangement filled the room behind me — rustling fabric, a zipper, the loud silence of two people trying to collect their dignity off the floor.A throat clearing signaled to me t

  • Divorced and Falling for the Tattoo Master   Vlog gone wrong

    ~ GAVIN ~I was torn between dreading seeing my father and being grateful that Hannah’s dad would be here. He was battling an illness and we rarely saw him around. Her mom also happened to be his primary — or at least favourite — caregiver, so they were both almost always absent from family functions. “Your dad’s doing better?”She nodded. “Much better. They’re still mad they had to miss the baby shower. They can’t miss this.”“That’s good to hear. I hope he continues to get better.” I carefully dropped her hand. “How about Aunt Roseline? Does she know?”Hannah winced in discomfort and I immediately knew that would be my last question. “I don’t think so.”“Okay. I’d call her now to share the news.”“You might need to do more than that. If you don’t mind, I need you to go pick her up. We agreed she’d move in with us for a while after the baby arrives.”Aunt Roseline was a retired midwife with years of experience in post partum care. I could see why Hannah wanted her around. “It’s no

    ~ GAVIN ~“I could,” I started, losing whatever was left of my patience, my glare keeping her still as a statue. “I could fuck you — up. And I will, if you keep disrespecting my boundaries. I believe you want to keep your job.”She pulled back startled, a puzzled look on her face. I offered a grima

    ~ GAVIN ~From the moment I found out what Max ‘knew’ I needed, I vehemently turned it down. But he insisted. In his words, “We have work, Gav. Go let out this steam so you can function with a clear head tomorrow.”So here I was, in a private booth of a shadowed sex club with a dancer he whispered

    ~ SIENNA ~I ignored him and continued searching for a ride on the app but it kept returning ‘No available drivers for your location’.Maybe because the kind of people who dined at Aurum Noire and environs didn’t need cabs to leave.

    ~ SIENNA ~It was hard to say ‘Stop’. Not only because every part of my body was begging him to keep going, but also because my lips were still swollen from his kiss earlier. Gavin had ravaged my mouth like a man having his first meal after a weeklong fast. The kiss was hungry and desperate, like
