Semua Bab Taken Twice: Bab 1 - Bab 10

"Good girl", He turned on his heel and left the room. Emotions filled my throat the moment, he closed the door behind his back. I was seconds away from sobbing like a little child. I wished I had never met Alex Michaels those five long years ago when my life changed forever.He had promised me a beautiful future that involved my dream of owning my own tattoo parlor. There were other more empty promises and he charmed me into falling in love with him. I had never claimed to be the smartest person in the world but I was feisty and didn't take shit from anyone. Well until when Alex Michaels walked into the restaurant I worked at five years ago. I heard his truck start back up and a moment later he was driving away. Knowing that he had left, i grabbed my duffel bag and finished shoving my clothes into it before I zipped it up and tossed it into the bed. I spun and stared into the closet at the shoebox. Alex would kill me if he knew what I was about to do but he couldn't find me, he could

"So what are you thinking?", Her face was emotionless and her words came out in a melancholy tone.I wasn't sure how to reply to her because I always let Jackson have open reign on me and he did an amazing job keeping everything flowing through each piece. I had a full sleeve on my left arm and a lots of work done on my back. I never did large pieces but rather had small pieces done here and there, resulting in large pieces when they were all done. It gave me more time in the chair when I got one small piece at a time."Honestly , i have no idea", I lastly replied. Karen sighed and leaned back in her chair while staring at me. "You came in for a tattoo but yet you have no idea what you want?",I shook my head at her words. "I usually let Jackson have free reign on me. Like I said, he knew what I wanted and he worked every piece together", I lifted my sleeve up and revealed the large piece on my arm. "It wasn't done at one time. This is probably thirty different sessions", I tried to e

"Hey wait up!", I immediately spun around when I heard her but then just as l did, she suddenly slammed into me chest to chest. As I stared into her gorgeous blue-ish grey eyes, her scent filled my nose. I felt her nipples harden against my chest and heard her suck in breath as she jumped back and held up my wallet."You forgot this", Her voice had changed. It was quiet and reserved, not at all the feistiness she had sported for the last hour and she looked away from me like a frightened puppy. I couldn't help but want to reach out and hold her, and protect her from whatever was bothering her. However I just grabbed my wallet and left the subject alone. "Thanks, I will see you tomorrow", I spoke studying her face but she gave me nothing but a small nod before she spun around and walked away from me. She went all the way to the bathroom and closed the door with a loud bang. What the hell was all that about?!!Shrugging my shoulders, I walked out of the room. I didn't know what the

~KAREN'S POV~I knew it was him. It was noon but still I knew it was him. I wasn't surprised at all when I saw him walk towards me.The sight of him made my mouth water and my nipples hardened, pressing against the soft material of my shirt. He looked different than the last time I saw him. Today he was wearing sweats and a black cut off t-shirt with a hoodie. He honestly looked yummy and l stupidly wanted a taste of him..He smiled at me when he caught me looking at him across the shop. "Hey", His voice was gravely and it sent a wave of arousal over my crimson skin and straight between my legs. And when he got closer, he gave me a once over while his eyes burned with desire. That immediately caused me to lick my lips."Hey. You ready for round two, creeper?", I asked spinning on my chair towards my work station then began to prepare my tools for the session. "As ready as I will ever be", His voice was filled with humor and i couldn't help but smile. His Irish accent was so strong. W

"Brothers?", She asked.Blair nodded his head but I spoke before he could. "Fraternal not identical, although some people try to argue that fact", I stuck my hand out to her."Am Blake and you obviously know Blair. How is that again", My eyebrow lifted up as I cocked my head at Blair who was still staring at the brunette beauty in front of us. "I... I did ... his tattoo", She stuttered before shaking my hand but she kept her eyes on Blair. "What are you doing here?", She was now speaking to Blair."We working on the building for Melissa", I replied still answering her questions and not my brother. "We own McCarthy Home Remodeling and do a lot of work for her", I went on with talking. Karen nodded her head but she was still looking at Blair. She lastly looked at me but a look of confusion and bewilderment was on her face. "That's nice", She responded."How's that window in your apartment?", Deep down in my heart, I wanted my brother to know that I had been in her room when he clearly h
