Up to Me
“Olivia is tracing the tattoo on the left side of my chest, like she often does when we lie naked together. I don’t know if it’s soothing to her, but it is to me. Her fingers start to move more and more slowly until they stop. Her breathing becomes deep and even. She’s so still I know she’s asleep. I’m sure she’s exhausted. But there’s nothing I can do about that yet. I slide out from under her as gently as I can, but I still wake her. “Rest, baby. I’ll be right back.”
I can see that her ...eyes are open and focused on mine, so I know she heard me. She doesn’t answer, though. She just smiles.
After straightening my clothes, I head out through the office to the club. Nash and Gavin are sitting at the bar, pouring shots from a bottle of whiskey.
“Make yourself at home,” I remark smartly as I approach.
“Oh, don’t worry. We have,” Gavin replies with a cheeky grin.
I pull up a stool and a shot, downing it in one quick swallow. The burn is welcome. It reminds me that there will be much pain and loss if I don’t do this just right. The first time.MoreLess
