She chuckled softly as she started tracing the lines on my arm. “Tell me about your tattoos?”

I’d never done this before. Cuddled after sex, talked beyond the ‘thanks, I’ll see myself out.’ But with Quinn next to me, I never wanted to get out of this bed.

“I got my first one when I was eighteen. Asher, Noah, and I decided we needed them on our first night away at uni.” I pointed to the inside of my bicep. “We all got them for my mum, they were her favorite flower.” Quinn brushed her lips against the rose. “It was a bit of a gateway tattoo for me. After that I found an artist in London that I liked. He did the rest of the sleeve on the right and then he did my whole left arm.”

“Hmm.” She traced the stem of the rose that wrapped into another tattoo. “Are there more meaningful ones?”

I pointed to the numbers on my left that were shaded into the design so they weren’t too obvious. “I got this the day that I started Knight Enterprises. But most were just because I liked the look. I figure I still have a lot of skin left for more meaningful ones.”

“Well, they’re incredibly hot. Add in those abs and it’s almost unfair.”

Barking out a laugh, I rested my head against hers as we both started to drift off.

I knew in that moment, without a doubt, that this woman owned me.

And that I would be waking her up and giving her at least two more orgasms tonight.

I’d always been an overachiever.

Quinn

As I stepped out of the car and waved at Arthur, my phone started going off. I balanced the container on my hip and pulled it out of my purse. The guys would go silent for most of the day and then all of a sudden there would be thirty messages.

I smiled as I read through the messages I'd missed in the three minutes my phone had been stowed away. I loved being a part of their only group chat. Loved how they so easily folded me into their group and acted as if I had always been there. I had my friendship with Aubrey but this was something else entirely.

Noah

Q, when are you coming in today? Knight has been hogging you.

Oli

Aren’t you going to be in the meeting. Can’t you look at your calendar?

Will

Lazy.

Noah

Both of you are rude. I just prefer if Quinn could confirm.

The last time she was supposed to be here she didn’t show…

Theodore

I have not been hogging her.

Asher

Yes you have.

They were right, since we’d slept together three weeks ago we’d been spending a lot of time together, most of it alone. I’d spent more nights at his house than my own.

Our sex was something like I’d never experienced and I swear it got better every time. He was the right level of demanding and sweet. His stamina was also something else.

He was older. More experienced and it showed. In the best way. I’d never had such regular orgasms, my serotonin levels were through the roof, and I’d never been so horny.
