His eyes narrow. “Isn’t that my line?”

“Just answer it. Do you trust me?”

He pulls me close and kisses me just long enough to take my breath away. “With my life.”

“Okay, good. Come with me.”

Squeezing his hand, the two of us walk into the tattoo parlor not far from our condo. Knox looks confused as he scans the room, taking in the place. Finally, he gives in.

“We’re getting more ink?”

I shake my head just as a guy with a buzzed head comes over to greet us. “You must be Delaney.”

“I am, and this is Knox.”

He extends his hand, and my boyfriend takes it with a hesitant smile. “I’m Chris. It’s nice to meet you.”

“Yeah, you too.” His brows furrow as he looks between the two of us. “I’m sorry, how do you two know each other?”

“She got in touch with me a couple weeks ago. Told me you were looking for an apprenticeship.”

“Y-yeah, definitely, but I’m not sure I can afford it.”

Chris snickers. “It’s already been taken care of.”

Confused, he glances over at me, and I shrug. “My dad may have covered it. A thank you for saving his daughter’s life and all.”

I watch as realization crosses his face and excitement takes over. “You’ve got to be shitting me.”

“So, I take it you’re interested then?”

Knox nods rapidly. “Yes, abso-fucking-lutely.”

“Great. I’ll see you Monday morning at noon. Don’t be late.”

He thanks him, and after the two of us say goodbye, we walk outside and step onto the sidewalk. As I go to walk away, I’m pulled back and spun right into Knox’s arms. He looks down at me with nothing but respect and adoration in his eyes.

“You are a remarkable woman, Bambi,” he breathes. “I still think you could find someone far better than me, but I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life making sure you never want to look.”
