sainthood,” Dave pointed out as he rose from the couch.
    Jared chimed in, “Yeah, the only
thing missing from your bad ass image is a tattoo, because you knew Mom would
kill you of you ever got inked. She’s barely forgiven Nicky, and he runs a
tattoo shop!”
    Nick smirked. “You’d be surprised
who in this room has ink from my shop. Mom’s more forgiving than you think.”
Ben, Jared and Dave were all looking at their siblings with disbelief, but it
was Jolena who finally broke the silence.
    “You mean you guys haven’t let Nick
tattoo you? He’s your brother, and he’s incredibly talented. I love the tattoo
he did for me. I can’t believe you don’t all have one.”
    The others were looking sheepish
now, while Nick was laughing his damned head off, but Tag could only focus on
one thing. His angel was inked…
    “Hold up. You have ink? Nicky
tattooed you? When? Where?” Tag wanted nothing more
than to throw his brothers out, lock the door after them, and peel off every
piece of her clothing until he found this tattoo.
    “I got it after my dad died. Nick
designed for me.” Her lips turned up into a mischievous smile. “As for where? That’s for me to know, and you to find out.”
    All the blood in his body surged to
his cock at the sight of that smile, and he felt himself falling into her deep
brown eyes.
    “He’s got that look again,” Jared
groaned and stood, grabbing his jacket off a stack of boxes.
    “And that’s our cue to leave,” Nick
agreed.
    They said their goodbyes at the
door, with Chase pausing to give Jolena a kiss when
she leaned down to hug him.
    “Paws off my
girl, mutt. Go find your own.”
    Ben was the last to leave, and he
paused to smile down at Jolena on his way out. “It
was great meeting you. I hope we see you down at Leo’s soon.”
    “Maybe in few weeks. You’re stuck with Mom until then. Happy wedding planning.” Tag waved his brother out, locking the door behind him. They were alone.
    Finally.
    “Would you like some help
unpacking?” Jo offered in that quiet tone he was starting to learn meant she
was nervous.
    “No, it can wait. All I really want
right now is you.”
    “You already have me.” She said it
so softly he could barely hear her, but it was enough to break the last shreds
of his control. He grabbed her hand and pulled her behind him as he picked his
way through the sea of boxes, not stopping until he found the couch.
    He needed her. Needed to feel her
curvy little body in his arms and reclaim those sweet lips. He dropped sideways
onto the couch so that his back was against the armrest and his legs were
stretched out along the cushions. She hesitated for a moment, but he tugged at
her hand again and drew her down to join him. He positioned her so that they
were face to face, and her shorter leg straddled one of his thighs. Goddamn,
she looked so sexy as she knelt in front of him, her
skin flushed and her eyes already darkening with the first hints of desire.
    Hanging onto his control while the
others had been around had been a struggle, but he’d managed it for the most
part. Now they were gone, and so was his patience. He wanted her with a
ferocity that bordered on madness. “Fuck, I missed you, angel.”
      “I missed you too,” she confessed and then she
leaned in to kiss him. That was all it took for his world to go up in flames.
Her hands landed on his chest as he pulled her in closer, needing to feel her
body pressed to his. She parted her lips and he claimed her mouth, challenging
her to match his desires, daring her to dance with him.
    Jolena moaned softly, rocking her hips so that her pussy rubbed against his thigh. He
speared his fingers into her hair and tightened his grip until she moaned
again, the vibration buzzing against his lips. He slipped a hand beneath her
soft sweater she’d changed into while she was upstairs. It was too big for her
frame, swallowing up her curves and hiding her body. Fuck, he wanted to tear it
off of her and
