<p>All it takes is four words and my life is forever changed.</p><p> </p><p>When Oscar calls a staff meeting no one anticipates the news. The sale of the tattoo shop. Our second home second family will be broken. Sold to the highest bidder.</p><p> </p><p>But the biggest shock is yet to come.</p><p> </p><p>The bell over the door jingles and I smooth my hands over my shorts chastising my attire. Black leather boots step into view. As my eyes drift north I log each delicious muscle and tattoo.</p><p> </p><p>Our eyes lock and I stop breathing. Jameson Kingsley.</p><p>My brother's best friend.</p><p>The guy I crushed on most of my adolescence.</p><p>The guy I fantasized about occasionally in adulthood.</p><p>And now... my new boss.</p><p> </p><p><em>F*ck.</em></p>
