Can you teach me to like it?
I’ll never teach her to like pain because I’ll never allow her to feel enough of it to become used to it.
“What did you want to get?” I ask, assuming it wasn’t a man’s name four times around her finger.
She sighs. “I could never decide. I’d go back and forth between something pretty or something tough.”
“Tough?”
She shifts so she can tap her finger to the center of my chest. “Like a skull.”
I grin at the ceiling, picturing my sweet Valentine with a skull tattoo.
“Well, if you want another one, just let me know. I’ll knock you out again so you don’t have to feel it, then do whatever design you want.”
Her head pops up, and she looks at me with wide eyes. “Wait. Didyoudo it? Like the actual tattooing part?”
I lift a brow. “You really think I was gonna let someone else touch you?”
She huffs out a laugh, dropping her head back down. “You really are a man of many talents.”
“Well, I’d love to demonstrate my talents again, but you need to sleep and we both need to shower.” I pat her ass again, soaking up the lightness of hearing her laugh, as small as it was.
Val groans as she sits up, showing me all her glorious nakedness. “I won’t argue about being tired. But I have a feeling most people won’t be working too hard tomorrow, seeing as it’s the Friday right after the party. Not to mention theno bossthing.”
I grip her soft sides. “If you hear from him, you tell me.”
“I will.”
I feel myself smile. “I kinda like compliant Valentine.”
She darts her hand down to flick my nipple.
“Hey!” My hands slap up to cover them from further assault, and Val takes advantage of my occupied hands by jumping up and hurrying away.
I should chase her. Or do something.
But I just lie naked, lifting my head so I can watch every glorious inch of her as she disappears from the room with a laugh.
CHAPTER60
Val
“What is this place?”I grip Dominic’s hand in my mittened one and look around at all the food stands, displays of merchandise, and decorations.So many decorations.
“It’s the Christmas market.” Dom lifts his hand to wave back to someone.
“Well, yeah. I mean, I know that’s what you said on the drive over.” I can’t stop looking around. “But I didn’t know it was like this.”
“You like it?”
I nod, noticing a whole bunch of people in line to get—I squint my eyes—apple cider mini donuts. “Holy shit. We need that.”
Dom chuckles, seeing where my eyes are focused. “The food is the reason I come. That and my mom would throw a fit if I didn’t.”
“Your mom is here?!” I nearly choke on my gasp.
Dominic looks down at me, a brow raised. “I know I told you that. Are you alright?”
