enough and I need to show her as well. Constantly.
    I slide my hand up under her t-shirt, slowly curling it around her rib cage. Ash folds herself further into me, wrapping her arm around my waist and presses a soft kiss to my neck. My eyes close in response, my fingers digging into her skin.
    “What are you thinking about?” she eventually whispers to me.
    I open my eyes and find her looking at me, a half smile on her face as though she finds something amusing. “You,” I whisper back, leaning down to kiss her lips.
    “What about me?” she asks, having absolutely no idea.
    How much I love you…
    I kiss my way across her jaw, placing my other hand gently on her cheek and holding her to me. My thumb brushes against her lips as I pull her closer. With my mouth against her ear, I whisper so only she can hear. “I’m thinking about how much I want you, Asha. How much you drive me crazy with wanting you. How all I see every time I close my eyes is your body under mine and my fingers as they move all over your soft skin...”
    I hear her soft groan, feel the bite of her teeth on my thumb as she tries to stifle it so the others won’t hear. I’m so turned on right now, but I just can’t bring myself to stop. I can’t stop myself from telling her these things. She is all that I want, all that I need. And I really need her to know that. “I want to run my tongue over every inch of your body, Ash, taste every single part of you.” My voice is barely a whisper as my lips trace the outline of her ear.
    She squirms in my lap, only making the situation worse as she rubs up against me in all the right ways. “Luke…” I hear her say, breathless.
    “Yes?” I ask, gently nibbling on the skin below her ear.
    “I think we should go to bed now,” she whispers, repeating the same words she said to me as we lay on my couch that evening, after the very first night we spent together.
    Without saying a word to the others, I stand up, holding Ash in my arms and walk us both inside to our bedroom.
    Where I do exactly what I just told her I wanted to do.

    The needle is incessant and even though it’s not the first time I’ve had this done, it’s still irritating. The problem is the location, my chest. There’s not a lot of padding, so you feel every fucking prick, right to the bone. Still, I think the one down my side was the worst, especially over the ribs.
    “Almost done, Luke,” the guy says to me.
    I grin up at him. “I’m cool,” I say, clenching my fists as he continues stabbing the ink filled gun into my body. It will all be worth it when it’s done anyway.
    “It’s a cool design you know, unique.”
    I take a deep breath, as the needle seems to hit a rib. “Yeah, not really into the whole name tattooed across my heart. Wanted something different, but something she would still know was for her.”
    “She seen it then?” the guy asks me.
    I smile. “She’s seen it in parts yeah, don’t think she knows exactly how it’s going to look though. Doesn’t know it’s a tattoo,” I say, laughing a little. “She doesn’t even know I’m here getting it done right now.”
    The guy laughs. “Surprise then?”
    I look up at him and answer, “Yep.”
    “Very cool,” he says, finally putting the gun down. “Alright, we’re all done here.”
    I roll my shoulders as I’m finally able to move. Almost an hour stuck in a chair, holding still while a needle pounds relentlessly into my chest is certainly not my ideal way to spend the morning. I walk over to the full-length mirror the guy has hanging in his shop and when I see what he’s done; the past hour no longer matters.
    “Fuck…” I whisper to myself. It looks amazing, really amazing. So much better than I ever thought it would. I
