The Vampire And Her Human Mate

8| An ode

Beau was sitting at his desk a few days later. He had an assignment to complete, but he couldn't concentrate. He kept glancing at his phone and then getting annoyed that he hadn't heard anything back. He was sure the Cordon guy had been interested in what he was promising.

With a huff, he pulled out his sketch pad and looked at the water colour image he had done. He had designed his next tattoo. It was a white fox with red eyes, sitting and looking back over its shoulder. He had done it as an ode to traditional Japanese art. Thinking of where to get it done though, he had a spark of inspiration thinking about Bianca.

All too soon the love bite from his vixen had faded. It had been the most wild one he'd ever seen. It looked like she had almost punctured the skin, causing two small blood blisters. The flushed red bruise that surrounded it faded after only a few days, but those two little spots were showing as tiny white scars. Barely noticeable but he knew where to look for them. He could get the tattoo up on his inner thigh.

His sister and brother-in-law ran a piercing and tattoo parlour, so he got a massive discount, and they also let him pay off in installments- even sometimes letting it be a birthday or Christmas present for him. He'd already given them a heads up he wanted to come in on Saturday, the next day, to get it done. His sister had done most of his ink, with her husband doing his more intimate piercings and tatts- Beau wasn't about to get his sister to do that.

He thought back to his decision to get them in the first place. He'd started small with his tongue and some ear piercings when he was sixteen and ramping to the nipples when he was eighteen. The apadravya had been a bit of a spur of the moment thing a couple of years earlier. He'd been chatting with another customer who was getting some more piercings in his junk while Beau was getting his tree of life tatt. The guy had explained that it was the best one he'd had. Beau had always found sex fine, but really just fine. He got it- there was a big hype and people expected it to be mind blowing every time, and sometimes it just wasn't. So, he'd thought, why not? And while it definitely helped him, and from what he'd experienced, his partners as well, it still hadn't been like what he had experienced with her.

Toby said he was just pussy struck. Maybe that was all. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't know anything about after just one encounter. He knew this on a conscious level but here he was about to get a tattoo for her.

He checked his phone again. Nothing. Maybe he could get the tatt tonight...

"Hey little bro." Stacy smiled at her brother. They had said he could come by after closing to get his tattoo early. Her son was at her in-laws overnight, so they didn't have to get home. She didn't understand why he wanted it so urgently- usually they booked it weeks in advance.

Her and her husband hadn't spoken about who was going to do it yet- it depended where he wanted it. He had gotten more extreme over the last couple of years so it was good that her husband could take care of those ones.

Stacy noted he was a little agitated. "Everything all good?"

He flashed a smile across his beautiful face. "Of course. Just a bit busy."

"Always burning the candle at both ends?" Travis asked.

Beau shrugged. "That's just how we do."

Stacy gave him a quick hug. It had actually been a while since they had seen him, and he'd been radio silent the last couple of weeks.

"Show me," she ordered, reaching out to the book in his hand.

He gave it to her slowly.

Stacy reviewed the image. It was beautiful- he'd shaded around the fox so that the white of the fox stood out starkly.
