“Good,” I said to her. “Because that’s exactly what I was aiming for.”
She exhaled as if tired. “I know I’m making this into something huge in my head, but I just…I don’t know.” She swallowed and looked at me. “I get this really bad vibe when Aubrey is near. Does that make sense?”
I nodded. “It does, but that’s only because you know who she is and how low she’s capable of stooping. You need to try to forget about her and her petty personality. I know it’s easier said than done, but I know you can do it.” I ran a knuckle over her cheek. “You’re a badass, babe; you’re inspirational. Think of this whole ordeal as an obstacle you’ve overcome and won’t have to look back at again. After all, what are our lives if not a maze of disgustingly hard-to-establish goals and hurdles?”
“You sound like Kenneth,” she mused.
I chuckled. “I do, don’t I? Maybe I should stay away from him and his melodramatic ass.”
She rolled her eyes. “As if you could ever do that. You two turn into smitten puppies whenever you look at each other.”
I couldn’t help but laugh. “There’s my Zaira.”
She smiled sheepishly, and then cupped my jaw with one of her hands. “Thank you for doing this. Thank you for making me see, Gall.”
I shook my head a little. “You don’t–”
“I do,” she cut me off, and then kissed me once.
I smirked. “You can’t shut me up with just a single kiss,” I told her.
Something flashed in her eyes as she raised a brow at me. “That so?”
“Uh huh.” I ran my hands up her thighs and grabbed her waist, which made her shift in her chair.
“There are people around, Gall,” she whispered.
“So?”
She huffed. “So, you can’t touch me like that in public.”
I tilted my head to the right. “Says who?”
“Me.” She grabbed my wrists and tried to pull them back, but I held onto her tighter. “Gall, people are watching.”
“Let them. You’re mine, and I have every right to touch you and taste you wherever and whenever I want to.” I parted my lips and kissed her.
She whimpered and opened her mouth for me, which made me smile.
“I have to speak to Kenneth about the scene we’re about to film, so I gotta go. But Zaira…” I said her name with a bit of command, which made her blink at me.
“Yeah?” she all but breathed.
I ran my eyes over her sinful body, and then glanced at her face. “If I don’t see you in my trailer in the next thirty minutes with your underwear and jeans on the floor, your legs spread wide, and your wet pussy on display for me to devour, then we’ll have a problem. You hear me?”
Her chest rose and fell rapidly as she looked at me with wide eyes. “Christ Almighty…”
I grazed my teeth over my bottom lip. “Was that a yes, Zaira?” I snaked my hands higher and let my fingers brush over the sides of her breasts.
“I…” She swallowed. “Uh…”
“Aren’t you wet for me, babe? Because I’m sure as fuck hard for you,” I said to her. “So hard that it’s taking all my willpower to keep things under control; to not unzip both our pants and fuck you senseless right here, right now.”
She licked her lips. “Can’t this scene of yours with Kenneth be filmed later, then?” she asked.
I chuckled and got to my feet. “It can’t, unfortunately. Ross really wants it done before the lunch break.” I gave her a wink when she gazed up at me. “Just thirty more minutes. I’m sure they’ll go by fast.”
“Now that you’ve got me all hot and bothered, they won’t, you asshole,” she mumbled at me.
I put my tongue to my cheek. “Try, babe, because that’s what I’ll be doing, too.” To emphasize my point, I briefly adjusted myself in front of her, which made her eyes darken.
“You’re a merciless prick,” she told me.
I laughed and began walking backwards. “Thirty minutes, Zaira,” I said to her. “Thirty.” I grinned when she scowled at me, and with another wink at her, I turned around and headed towards the vanity area in search of Kenneth.
