The Secrets of a Luna

Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Tattoo and a Day Off

Evelyn:

Pinning him down, a knock interrupted us. Both of us sighing in defeat, James tossing me the keys to my car. Grinning ear to ear, the two of us sat up. Clearing his throat, he tossed me a paper with the address on it. Cocking his head, he was already plugging it into my phone which was charging on the side table.

"You are going right now to the tattoo guy, so he will get better right away." He chirped cheerfully, spinning a bag in his hands. "I put it in your phone in case you forget to bring the paper with you. I know how forgetful you are. Off you go, my lovely friends." Bowing in our direction, he ducked out. Peeling off my dirty clothes, I pulled on a black lace blouse and black leather skirt. Zipping it up proved difficult, but oh well. Hudson simply threw on another one of his black t-shirts, and black jeans. Must be nice to be a guy and have less to worry about than us poor ladies, the expectation proving to be that we were required to be flawless at all times. Placing me on his back, his scent drifted up my nose. Sniffing it, all of my tense muscles relaxed. Carrying me down the stairs, a promise came to mind. Leaning in close to his ear, my fingers played with his hair. Shivering under my touch, his hand cupped mine.

"I promise to park and ride with you." I whispered sensually into his ear, tracing my fangs on the nape of his neck. "Now who is a good master." Chuckling softly to himself, a sinister glint twinkling in my eyes.

"If that is what you wish, mistress!" He teased playfully, kissing the top of my hand. "There is no one I would rather serve." My eyebrows twitched, not sure if he understood the basis for my comment. Shaking my head, sometimes he really was clueless. Setting me down outside, dirt crunched underneath my boots as I ran for the driver's side. His arms wrapped around my waist, his nose sniffing my neck. Writhing under his touch, sliding his hand up my thigh.

"I meant what I said, mistress." He growled hungrily, James clearing his throat from the front porch. "Let's put me through endless hours of pain." Helping me into the driver's seat, he passed me the keys. Sitting down in the passenger's seat, he smiled to himself as the engine roared to life. Saying nothing for a few moments, he looked so free right now. His hair blew in the wind, Grappy flying above us.

"You really are something." I teased lovingly, reaching for his hands. "Hudson, I am so glad you are my mate." A tender blush rose to his cheeks, my laughter twinkling in the car. Flashing him my real smile, his hand rubbed my bruised hand. Turning on the music, our favorite song came to life. The song 'Can't Take My Eyes off You.' began to play, the two of us belting it out loud and proud. The song ended, the two of us gazing lovingly into each other's eyes. The ride passed with us saying nothing, but everything at the same time. Our years of friendship already allowed us to have the perfect silent friendship, his hand resting on my bump.

"We are here!" I sang jovially, practically dragging him out of the seat. "It will just be a few hours." Dark energy swirled off of his blackened wooden hut, a younger man greeting us at the door. His white t-shirt barely hid all of his tattoos, a confused look dawning on our faces. His long black was twisted into a man bun, his hand waiting for me to shake it.

"I am Dantu's grandson Liam Sometown. I am running his tattooing business now." He introduced himself warmly, holding the traditional tattooing tool. "He had to retire because his hands started shaking. Don't worry, he trained me in all of his wise ways. Miss Evie, you can't come in though. This is a sacred process. There is a town, maybe ten miles from me. Go shopping and be sure to pick up some stuff to take care of his tattoo like a good wife." Nodding with a pleasant smile, I didn't want to leave him. Shooting me a go look, he mouthed for me to go have some fun. Getting back into my car, Grappy plopping into the passenger's seat made me jump ten feet into the air.
