EthanI woke up feeling like someone had used my head for a punching bag the night before. My face hurt and my skull throbbed as colors flashed in front of my eyes."Fuck," I groaned and rolled over, not sure where I was. It wasn't home. "Where am I?""Get up, pretty boy. I just made us some bacon and toast. I'm gonna eat your half if you don't come the fuck on. You know how much I love bacon." Liam's voice was an automatic comfort."What happened?" I forced myself to sit up slowly as the room spun."I'm gonna say you either drank a whole fucking lot while I wasn't watching, or you were drugged. I found your ass naked in a broom closet and the girls split." He pressed his hands to the doorframe and tilted his head. "You fucked that girl bareback?""What? No. Hell no." I got up and turned to press my hands back to the top of the bed. "Fuck, I feel like death.""Right, well, I'm gonna warn you now, I'm pretty sure that girl fucked you while you were drugged up. There was... um... eviden

RileyI'd fallen asleep the night before and Jace hadn't come over, which left me feeling calm and yet a bit lonely. It wasn't fair to use him, but that had been the foundation of our relationship over the last few years. Nothing was going to change that but me, and I wasn't ready. Jace might think he wanted love and a steady relationship, but we'd tried that a few times in our sordid past only to end up mad at each other and hurting even more when the dust settled.I dragged myself out of bed and started the shower as the smell of cinnamon rolls filled my nose. Charlotte had to be baking, which meant her date the night before hadn't gone well at all. I hadn't even asked when she walked into the house. How shitty of me.I walked out of the bathroom with a towel around me and stopped at the opening to the kitchen."You all right?"She glanced over her shoulder and nodded. "Yeah, just trying to figure out what's wrong with me. I can't seem to attract anyone but these pussified idiots I

Three Days LaterEthanThe air had cleared a little between me and Deza by Tuesday, and I was grateful. Without having Riley to joke around with, life was getting beyond dull. I couldn't remember what I did before we started filming together, or maybe I just didn't want to remember.I sat down and pulled a pair of tennis shoes out from under the bed. The image of Riley sitting on top of me, rolling her perfect hips during her audition raced through me, leaving my cock hard and pulsing as blood pumped through it."Ugh," I groaned and stood up. There was no fucking way to keep my t-shirt tucked in now that I was sporting a hard-on for the world to see. I'm sure Deza would get pissed at me about that like she'd been getting pissed at me about everything.Someone knocked at the door to my trailer, and though I didn't want to deal with anyone, it was better than stewing in my boredom."What?" I jerked the door open.Tricia Desmount jerked back like she'd been slapped. "Oh, I'm sorry. Ethan

RileyHis words bit into me, as if after the stuff we'd been through still left me with no right to touch him. I pulled my hand back and stood a step back."Right. I'm sorry." I offered a sheepish smile. "I should go.""No, don't. I'm sorry. That guy brings out the worst in me. I swear he was sent to earth to fuck with my head." He ran his fingers through his hair and studied me. Just being near him left my heart racing in a way it hadn't around anyone else."I'm glad to hear you helped out Deza. She looked pretty upset when we had breakfast on Saturday." I clasped my hands in front of me to keep from reaching out. Had it really been a week ago that we were tearing at each other, wanting so badly to use each other for pleasure? It was so much more than pleasure where I was concerned."She's gotta figure out what she wants to do about him. The two of them can't keep meeting up because of some silly reason that one of them comes up with. They get together and fight because they're not g

Ethan"All right. Get in your places, people. We want to wrap this shit up in a timely manner, right?" Daniel Barns clapped his hands and turned in circles, repeating himself until everyone walked up toward the stage. He was another director for Eon, and not my favorite by any stretch of the imagination, but I wasn't starring in the movie, so no need to throw a fit over it.Seeing Riley the day before had me wanting to throw caution to the wind and drown her in lust until she yearned for me the way I yearned for her. I rolled my eyes at the internal monologue going on in my head. I sounded like Rhett Butler from Gone with the Wind. "Places. And... action."I turned and jogged through the scene of New York City at night, the streets so real, the buildings gone. They would add those later with computer generation."Don't let them catch up." Tricia ran toward me and grabbed my hand as I moved in front of her and ran faster. The belts below my feet sped up and I cursed myself internally
