My Stripper Mate

Chapter 16

"Ready to go?" He asked as he snuck a slice of orange. I glared and hid the rest behind my back.

"Yep." I responded and bounded to the door. Wilder followed me, without the hopping step.

"Where are you two off to?" I heard Zeke question from the top of the stairs. With a huge grin I turned and looked up at him.

"To work." I giggled and walked out the door. I never thought I could be so happy going to work. Wilder scoffed behind me and closed the door as he walked out.

We walked out to Wilder's car. It was a dark blue with a grey leather interior and it was just beautiful.

"Wow," I said getting into the passenger seat.

"I know. It's my baby." Wilder said and I laughed as he closed my door for me. He climbed into the driver's seat and we drove to the tattoo shop.

"Turn right," I instructed. It had been a silent ride, besides the sound of my foot jumping in anxiety.

"Stop, its right there," I said and pointed to the shop. Wilder stopped the car right in front of the tattoo shop.

"You ready?" I asked as I undid my seatbelt.

"Yes," He said getting out of the car. We walked into the tattoo parlor to be greeted by Kat.

"Addi!" She screamed. "Where the fuck have you been! I was so worried you never miss work and randomly you disappear for like a whole week! I thought you got kidnapped!" She screams running up to me and hugging me. I just laugh. I was so tempted to tell her that I was kidnapped, but I knew Wilder wouldn't particularly like that.

"Um yeah. I just needed a break so I turned off my phone and went on vacation." I said. She believed my lie because she nodded and looked up at Wilder.

"Hey babe, there is a code red at 12 o'clock." She whispered to me. Wilder growled and turned around looking for 'code red'.

Since Kat and I would get bored easily we made a 'code red' game. If you see a hot guy or a hot girl for Kat then you shout code red.

"Kat we are together. This is my boyfriend Wilder." I said, stepping back into his chest. He wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me into him, humming in content.

"Holy shit girl. You are good." She laughed.

"Yeah, we just need to find you a girlfriend now," I said giving her one last hug before walking to my station. I sat down and Wilder sat down on my other chair. We talked for a bit longer. Turns out they had postponed all my appointments until I had returned, and although my boss wasn't particularly happy with me, they kept my position of employment. Due to my late notice return, I didn't have any appointments today, but I was instructed to start drawing my requests. After an hour or so of drawing, my aching hand needed a rest.

"So what do you want to do?" I asked spinning around in my chair.

"If I were being honest with you I really want a tattoo." He said and I stopped spinning.

"Really?" I asked getting excited.

"Yeah. I have always wanted a tattoo, but I didn't know who to get it from." He said. I started to jump in my chair.

"Okay, what do you want?" I asked.

"Um surprise me?" He asked nervously, whiles standing up from the stool and sitting on my tattoo chair.

"Okay, I'll be back." I also stood and walked to the back. After sketching out a tattoo that I liked and thought he would like, I brought it back to my station. This will be fun.

"Okay, so where do you want it?" I asked Wilder.

"Um well, wherever you think will be best. I don't know much about tattoos." He said. I love how he trusts me so much.

"Okay take your shirt off." I laughed at his nervous jittering hands.

"Kat come here!" I shouted at her. Soon she came running around the corner and I showed her the sketch.

"You are an amazing artist, I know he will love it." She said looking at my drawing.

"Okay good, I just needed a second opinion," I said and Kat walked back to her desk.

"Wilder close your eyes," I said and put the paper on his chest. Once the design was on him I started the tattoo. It took the rest work shift and maybe a little longer, but I'm fairly quick when tattooing, and his pain tolerance is high so it was done quick.

"Okay, you are done," I said helping him stand up. I took him to the mirror to see what I did. There was a wolf head with a human skull inside his mouth.

"Wow," Wilder said. I smiled and looked at his chest. His skin was red, but it was healing fast. He didn't even bleed like most people.

"Do you like it?" I asked anxiously.

"I love it." He said kissing my forehead. I smiled and leaned up to kiss his lips.

"Hey! Hey!" Kat yelled. "Lovebirds I don't want to be an aunt yet, so stop trying to make babies in the shop!" She yelled at us. I blushed and hid my face in Wilder's chest and he just laughed at me.

"Let me see," Kat said looking at Wilder's chest. I knew that if it was anyone else I would be jealous that they were looking at him, but Kat was practically my sister.

"Damn Del, you are good." She complimented. She liked to call me Del just to be different.

"Thanks," I said picking up the wrap from my desk. "Here Wilder," I said wrapping his chest, not that he needed it with the way he was healing, but if I didn't Kat might be suspicious. Once I was finished packing up we headed back out to the car and drove around town until I had to get to the club.

Now for the hard part.
