Fuck my life.
“Hey Dex,” she giggled. “Twice in two days, we should stop meeting like this.”
She was a pretty girl, with a nice smile, but she looked like every other twenty-something out there. There was no experience behind the eyes, no soft curves of age and most definitely no gorgeous, silky, long blonde hair with tiny flecks of silver that you could only see if you really looked at her.
“Sophie, I didn’t know you were coming here.” I looked down at the design and the word ‘Carl’ suddenly jumped out at me. “You never said last night.”
“I just assumed you knew,” she replied looking a little flustered. “I had my consultation with Topper.”
“Yeah, he’s ill, so I’m stepping in.”
“Oh my God,” she squealed. “So I get you to do it anyway, I didn’t need to try and persuade you last night.”
“No,” I said, scrubbing a hand down my face. “I guess you didn’t.”
She clapped her hands together. “This is so exciting, wait until I tell Carl the famous Dex Michaels tattooed me. He’ll be so surprised.”
Yeah, I bet – surprised wasn’t the word. She had to know this wasn’t going to go down well with either Carl or Katie.
“I guess we’d better get going,” I said, glancing at the clock on the wall. “This is a two hour session, where I’ll do the outline and then you have another session booked for three weeks’ time for the colouring and shading, but Topper will be around to do that.”
I was stating that as a fact, because after this session there was no way I’d be putting my hands on her again.
“Yes, that’s fine.” Sophie dropped her bag to the floor and smiled at me. “I’m quite nervous, so you’ll be gentle with me, won’t you?”
I gave her a tight smile back and nodded. “Okay, if you want to take your top off, and remove your bra and then hold that towel in front of you and sit forward on the chair. I’ll go out for a few and give you some privacy.”
Sophie nodded and with wary eyes started to unbutton her blouse – and that was my cue to leave.

Just under two hours later and we were almost done. Props to the girl, she’d barely needed to take a break and thank fuck had popped in her earbuds and listened to her music. She’d explained she’d always been afraid of the dentist, because of the sound of the drill, so figured it would probably help if she didn’t hear the gun working away. It suited me, I was never one for inane chat with clients, especially not ones that my woman had accused me of flirting with. I’d tell Katie about Sophie being a client, I believed in full disclosure where she was concerned, but it didn’t mean Sophie and I were going to play friends while I worked.
As I finished off the last of the feathers on the dream catcher design, I patted Sophie’s arm to gain her attention.
“All done?” she asked, popping out her buds.
“For today, yeah. I’ll wrap you up and then you can get dressed, maybe leave your bra off though.”
“Okay. Can I see, before you wrap it?”
“Sure thing.”
I pushed off from my stool and fetched the iPad to snap a photograph.
“There you go.”
I stood at Sophie’s side and showed her. I had to admit, it looked great.
“It’s amazing,” she gushed. “Can you text it to me, please. I want to send it to Carl, he’ll love it.”
The hairs on the back of my neck bristled at the mention of Katie’s ex. The man who had her first and given her three fucking babies.
“Great, I’m glad,” I said, dully, moving away. “Now, let’s get you wrapped up.”
