erase Cole. Trace’s gentle touch had certainly gone a long way towards erasing the flesh memory of Cole’s hands on her skin. Even as she had that thought she wondered how long the peace would last.
     
    Nikki shifted slightly and glanced down at herself. She was still wearing her blouse and she thanked god for that small miracle. She really need to speak to Van, the club’s tattoo artist, about getting the marks covered. If she had any hope of keeping the monster at bay she needed to remove its master’s marks from her body. She pulled her blouse closer around her and wriggled out of Trace’s hold.
    “Where you goin’ Baby girl?” Trace’s voice was hoarse from sleep.
    “ I was thinking of taking a shower,” she replied as she grabbed some clothes from her draws.
    “I li ke where your train of thought is going,” he said as he shifted around.
    “Shit. Is that the time? We slept half the day away,” Trace exclaimed, “ might have to pass on the shower because if I climb in with you we won’t be getting out for hours.”
     
    Nikki chucked her clothes on the bench then turned to look at Trace. He had that cheeky smile going as his eyes wandered lazily up her body. Nikki couldn’t help but tease him. She posed provocatively in the doorway, her shirt hanging open to reveal one of her breasts and her sex.
    “That’s a shame ‘cause I was kind of hoping you could help me with this particularly dirty spot,” she teased.
    “What dirty spot?” he asked.
    “It’s right down here,” she replied sliding her fingers down her body and brushing them against her lower lips.
    Trace’s eyes were totally fixated on her fingers.
    “But you’re right it’s not such a good idea.”
     
    The second the words were out of her mouth Trace jumped out of bed.
    “I’ve changed my mind.”
    He leapt across the room but Nikki was already closing the door and had it locked before he reached it.
    “Tease,” he called through the door.
    “Love you too Trace,” Nikki replied.
    “Love you back Baby girl,” came his soft words.
    Trace.
     
    When Nikki exited the bathroom a bit later she found Trace sitting on her bed. His face held all sorts of questions. This had been the conversation she didn’t want to have. It was the reason why she had hesitated last night. Now she was on the other side of her choice and the conversation was looking totally different.
     
    Trace opened his mouth to speak but Nikki cut him off.
    “ I wish we could go back to before all this shit happened but we can’t,” she watched as Trace’s head dropped, “If we are going to do this thing then we need to leave the past in the past and start from scratch, no expectations.”
    Trace’s head came back up, his eyes hopeful.
    “I can’t tell you things will be the same as they were but I can tell you I’m done with the running. I’m ready.”
    Trace moved across the room picking up something from her dresser. He turned back to her with that hundred watt smile plastered across his face.
     
    “Welcome back Baby girl. We’ve been waiting for you.”
    He held her cut out to her, an invitation back to into her life and she gladly accepted it from him. She pulled it around herself like another layer of armour and she knew she was ready to venture back among the chaos of her world.
    “Now we really need to get you back out there and up to speed with all the shit that’s going on around here.”
    Trace threw his arm around her shoulders and escorted her out into the main room.
     
    As they entered the space Nikki’s gaze fell on Tex. He was sitting in the corner booth looking a little worse for wear. Their eyes met briefly before he quickly turned his head toward the window.
    “Go let a brother off the hook hey?” Trace suggested nudging her in Tex’s direction.
    Let him off the hook? For some reason Nikki felt like she was the one who needed letting off the hook. Trace headed to the bar as some of the brothers gave him shit about coming out
