Chapter 19
“They needyou two on set in twenty minutes. Jessica wants to fix your hair. She said she would meet you in your trailer,” Chloe tells me.
“Okay, thanks.”
I haven’t gotten much sleep in the past week, and it’s starting to catch up with me. Ever since Brad bought those damn toys and restraints, we’ve been going at it like bunnies. I need more sleep, but I’m having a hard time telling him.Frankly,I don’t want to.He’s going to be gone this weekend for a movie premiere the studio wants him to attend, so I’ll be able to catch up then.
Sighing, I climb the few steps, and Jessica is already waiting for me.
“Get into your costume and robe. I don’t have much time before they need you.”
I take my lacy undergarments, short dress, and robe to the back room and close the door. I change into the bra and panties and look at myself sideways in the mirror.Damn, I look good!
Smiling, I pick up my phone and snap a quick picture. I type a quick message to Brad and hit send. I yank the dress over my head and pull my blonde locks through.
“Hurry up, Elena,” Jessica calls from the other side of the door.
“Coming.” I open the door as my phone chimes, but I don’t dare open it with her behind me. We’re trying hard to keep this—whatever this is between us—under wraps. Only Jimmy has any idea as to what is going on. Although, there was a nice set of pictures and small article after we went to dinner last week.
I sit down, and she styles my hair quickly. A few pins here, some hairspray there, and I’m camera ready.
My phone dings two more times in the ten-minute span, and Jessica pops her eyebrow at me. “You ever planning on answering that?”
“It’s just social media and stuff, nothing to worry about right now.” I try for a casual response, but my voice is a little too high for me to even believe.Hurry up already! I want to see what he said.
She gathers her sprays and pins and leaves me alone. I glance around to make sure no one is looking before I open the messages from him. The first one is a silly gif of a little kid dancing.
Bradley:Wow! You look amazing. Not sure how I’m going to survive this night.
Me:How about by knowing I’ll be in your bed later and you can have me for real?
I step out of my trailer as my phone goes off. I open it, and it’s a picture of him gripping his hard-on in the mirror. Everything’s covered by his boxer briefs, but just picturing what I know is under there creates a dull ache between my thighs. He steps out moments later, as if he didn’t just turn my lady parts to mush. He stands in my personal space as we wait for our ride to set.
“Just for teasing me, you’re going to be in for a rough night. Think you can handle it?” he asks, his voice low and husky.
“Depends. Do you mean on set, or later in the bedroom?” My cheeks are warm under his gaze.Please, let it be the bedroom.
“Guess you’ll just have to wait and see.” He takes my earlobe between his teeth and bites it, releasing it just in time for the girls to come around the corner. He jumps on the cart, and I take my seat next to him. He grasps my hand in his and interlaces our fingers.

“Elena,you’re going to storm up to Bradley and slap him. He’s then going to pin you to the wall, say his line, and kiss you. From there, I want you both to move toward the bedroom, removing clothes as you go. I want to see passion. I want to see lust—”
“You want to see something that will make people wish they were in the middle of us,” Bradley finishes.
Joe smiles. “I want you to show them what they’re missing.”
“Are you sure we aren’t filming a porno here, Joe?” I question.
He puts his hand over his chest. “I promise you, Elena, this will be very tasteful, and you’ll hardly see any body part you wouldn’t normally see. There might be a little nipple, but that’s about it.” He moves his hand from his chest and starts pointing around the room as he gives more instructions about where he wants us positioned and how he wants us to move about the room. “Take a minute to get into character, and I’ll clear some people out of here.”
He gets over the loudspeaker, making nonessential personnel leave for the next scene. This is normal procedure for these kinds of scenes, but with my stalker out there, if I get any other notes with pictures, it will also make it easier to narrow down who sent it to me.
We take our spots, and Joe calls action.
I storm toward Brad, a scowl on my face, and raise my hand to slap him. He turns his head at the last second and grabs me, pinning my arms above me on the wall. I arch into him, trying to free myself, and he puts his face right in front of mine.
“You’ll see it my way soon enough, little girl.”
