Chapter 0169
“No, not questioning it, just wanted you to say it.”
“Alec, you make me the happiest girl in the world.” My hand sl*pped out of his shirt to
touch his face. “You are my mate, the other half to my soul and the love of my life. You get
every part of me, the good, the bad and the ugly. You’re the lucky one that gets to deal
with my mood swings.”
Alec’s hands were on either side of my face as I spoke. “You know I will die before
anything happens to
you.” I said as if he was trying to reassure me.
“You took a bullet for me. I know that.” Pulling his face down to mine, we k*ssed softly for
a few minutes.
“We should get back to work.” Alec said as he broke free.
Grabbing his shirt, I helped him take it off. “That’s better.”
“Me shirtless is better?” He asked confused.
“Yeah, I get some eye candy as I work.” I smiled up at him. As much as he tried to hid it, it
was smiling.

“Yes, alpha.” I said as I walked away form him and swayed my hips. Alec’s eyes narrowed
but he went
back to cleaning up the dust.
After another fifteen minutes, one tattoo chair was put together. “Only three more to go.”
“That looks good.” Alec came over and looked at it.
“Thanks. This one is mine. I still have… the bell on the door dinged as some teenagers
came through.
“We heard you were working here today and I was wondering if you needed help.” Calvin
smiled at me as
his posse of friends looked around in awe.
“That would be great. You guys can put together these chairs!” I said instantly relieved.
“That should be easy enough.” Calvin said looking at it.
“That chair took me an hour and fifteen minutes.” I said as Alec helped me stand up.
“Dam n. Okay.” The kids instantly got to work, allowing me to put the rest of the store
together. Alec hung all the mirrors for me and any decor Penny had bought. Although Alec
set up all the ink, I reorganized it how I liked it before moving to my office. As I opened the
laptop box, I accidentally hit something over.
“What was that?” I whispered as I reached around and picked up a picture frame. It had
Alec and I,
“I had that printed. Figured it would make a good decor in here.” Alec was standing in my
doorway.
Leaning against the frame, he had his arms folding and looking like a snack.
“Thank you, that was really sweet.” I set it back up before continuing to open my laptop.
“Everything is cleaned. I have the bathroom set up as well.” Alec didn’t move as he
watched me start the
computer up.
“You are amazing.” I gave him a smile.
“Can we talk for a minute?” Alec asked as he came inside and shut the door. My office
wasn’t the biggest
but since I enjoyed being close to Alec, it wasn’t stuffy.
“Uh oh.” I said as I glanced at him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Next monday, I want to go to Florida for a week.” My b*dy froze. The computer dinged,
asking for
permission to continue on. Instantly on guard, I pressed okay before answering him.
“Why?”
“Everything has been incredibly stressful for you. You can’t even argue with me.” It was
like he knew what
I was going to say before I did. “Sunday might be really struggling. If your dad ends up
passing, I want to
go to Florida. If he doesn’t, then we hold off.”
I was quiet for a few minutes as I followed the steps my laptop asked of me. “Why are you
wantin
this now? I thought it was my choice if I wanted to travel or not.”
