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
Divorced and Falling for the Tattoo Master Taylor’s a big sister!
~ GAVIN ~It was raining cats and dogs. How else was the world to announce that another Kessler had made a grand entrance into it? The first person I thought to share the news with was Sienna.“Taylor’s a big sister now,” I said into my phone, balancing it on a shelf while I fixed my cufflinks. The black shirt I wore didn’t hug my frame and its sleeves were long enough to hide every tattoo on my arm. I was sure to meet nearly the entire family today. Looking ‘responsible’ was the least I could do. “That’s wonderful news!” Sienna exclaimed, the smile in her voice immediate. “Congratulations to your family.”I could picture it — that smile. The way it made her even more beautiful. “Thank you. I’m preparing to go see them at the hospital now.”“As you should,” she said. “Send my wishes to Taylor. I know she’d be an amazing big sister.”My lips curved in an amused smirk. Taylor would be an amazing big sister quite alright but under very strict terms and conditions that her brother w
Divorced and Falling for the Tattoo Master Maybe he likes you now
~ SIENNA ~She buried her head in her hands. “I’m so ashamed.”“You don’t have to be, Margo,” I said, rubbing slow circles over her back. “You did what you had to do.” “I hate that what I had to do was call the man who put her in that condition to come see her because the doctor suggested that seeing a deeply familiar and loved face might trigger her memory,” she rapped out, her voice cracking at the end. I passed her a bottle of water and she took a few sips. “It feels so wrong,” she whispered. “But I was desperate and running out of ideas.”“The intention is what matters, Margo,” I assured her. “Did she at least respond?” “Yeah. She recognized him.” Her mouth twisted bitterly. “I still don’t know if that makes me feel better or worse.”I exhaled slowly. “Natalie’s going to be okay. And next time you go to the hospital, I’ll come with you.”“Thank you,” she sniffled, then waved a hand dismissively. “Enough about me. How was your trip? How are your parents?”I shrugged. “Exactly
Divorced and Falling for the Tattoo Master I need a favour
~ 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

~ 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 servi

~ 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. Their chauffeurs and convoys were parked close by, waiting for the
