Removal

It won't soothe muscle ache, or ease arthritis, but the salve I rubbed into her thigh did have the same cooling effect as creams or lotions that do that sort of thing. It is nearly colorless, and completely odorless. After a half dozen applications in as many days, the mark was already starting to fade. It works several layers beneath the skin, breaking up the organic compounds making up the ink, causing the resulting smaller particles to dissipate through the pores. Eventually, there will be a faint reminder that something was there, the general shape might be hinted at. Soon enough, however, even that will fade until there is only her skin. Well, my skin. She belongs to me, and the mark, which was something more than a simple identificatory mark, became unacceptable. Therefore, I will see it gone. The application of salve is a sensual thing, of course. At times I lift her skirt to apply the salve, but other times I strip her completely. Noemi was meant to be nude, to better appreciate the curves and valleys of her figure, the sinuous symmetry of her lines. After all, soon following these applications of the salve, I often have her.
