Sammy gave up on the sleeve and pulled it down. She tugged back her open collar (two top buttons undone, I noticed), revealing her slender shoulder. It looked smooth and pale, like the rest of her skin, except for a small pink patch at the end, where the tattoo had been removed. "It stings more than when I had the bloody thing done." she said, delicately tapping he pink patch. "And all my Dad goes on about is how much it cost him to have it done private. Stingy git! The surgeon was one of his mates and did it on the cheap anyway." I couldn't help myself… I had to touch that soft skin. Just to show concern. Also… also to show my interest. If I felt her react against it, I wouldn't pursue it and everything would be fine.
"May I?" I asked, delicately running my fingers across her shoulder to the end, stroking the pink patch and then running my fingers back towards her neck. I noticed she had a leather thong necklace on, with some sort of Celtic cross pendant attached. My index finger ran under this and pulled it up slightly. "Um… nice necklace," I said, hoarsely.
