Wake Him with a Kiss

By Nell Iris

When Lo is dragged into the tattoo shop by his bossy cousin, he steals everyone’s attention. The big man is afraid of needles but wants a tattoo to celebrate an important moment in his life. And he wants Amos to do it.

Tattoo artist Amos is mesmerized by Lo from the moment he lays eyes on him. He’s huge but kind, strong but gentle, and his freckles ... God, his freckles.

They hit it off immediately, but Lo grows nervous as the big moment approaches. Will Lo flee from the tattoo machine before they have time to get to know each other? Before they have the time to see if the sparks will turn into something more?

Nell Iris

Nell is a forty-something bisexual Swedish woman, married to the love of her life, and a proud mama of a grown daughter. She left the Scandinavian cold and darkness for warmer and sunnier Malaysia a few years ago, and now spends her days writing, surfing the Internet, enjoying the heat, and eating good food. One day she decided to chase her lifelong dream of being a writer, sat down in front of her laptop, and wrote a story about two men falling in love. Nell writes gay romance, prefers sweet over angst, and wants to write diverse and different characters.

Wake Him with a Kiss

By Nell Iris

Get your ass in here right this second, Lo, or I’ll drag you by the beard.

All sounds stop in the tattoo shop as the loud and clear voice cuts through the ambient noise. My colleague Johnny’s machine stops buzzing, his client and her friend quiet in the middle of a sentence, Tanya, the shop manager, slows her rapid typing on the keyboard until she comes to a complete halt, and I look up from cleaning my station.

The speaker is a tiny Asian woman dressed in a fashionable power-suit, sky-high heels, and with the shiniest and sleekest ponytail I’ve ever seen.
