“When?” My voice had gone up about seven octaves. This was blowing my mind right now. “How?”
“I went to audition.”
Wouldn’t Max have told me about it? Wouldn’t he have mentioned that Grace auditioned?
“Max never told me.”
“He wasn’t there. He said it would be too weird, considering we’re roommates and all.”
My heart fluttered. He didn’t want to see my roommate naked. Did that mean there was more between us than just trainer/trainee?
Stop it, Everly. There is nothing more going on besides that damn list.
“You had sex with him for the audition?”
This was my worst nightmare. If Ben had sex with Grace for the audition, that meant it was standard protocol. Which meant that Max had sex with them, too. I’d never asked. I had promised myself it didn’t matter, because I wasn’t invested in this as a relationship. He was strictly a business arrangement.
“Not for the audition. It just…happened.” She let her head fall, her palm catching her forehead. “White Lace uses their actors for the auditions. Max and Ben don’t have sex with anyone.” She stretched her hands across the table and covered mine with hers.
Relief washed over me like a tidal wave, but instead of pulling me under, it shot me to the surface, giving me the opportunity to breathe again.
He didn’t have sex with his casting calls.
“What…what did you do for the audition?”
She released my hand and sat back. “We talked a bit about boundaries. I took my clothes off. Did a little solo action. But when it came down to screw, I couldn’t do it.” She sat a little straighter in her chair. “I didn’t want to do it.”
“So how did it happen?”
She blew out a breath. “I went to his office. I felt like I had to explain myself, but he was cool about it.” She picked at the edge of her notebook. “It was the thought of the camera. Having the film accessible forever. At least with my clients, it’s no one’s business. But porn…it’s everyone’s business.”
She was right. It was out there, there was no way of taking it back. Deciding to work in porn wasn’t something to take lightly.
“While we were talking, there was this awkward silence and I just…like you said. My body reacted. I was already horny because I’d just spent five minutes rubbing one out and then…”
She didn’t continue. She didn’t have to.
“How did it end?”
Sadness veiled her eyes, and it broke my heart. “He sat behind his desk and said it was too bad I had changed my mind, because he had no doubt men would pay money to watch me get fucked.”
I shook my head in disgust. “Classy.”
“I just want to forget about it. He got what he was looking for. He fucked an escort for free.”
I had a hard time believing that Max could be friends with someone like that, but maybe that’s exactly what the business did to a person. Maybe it was only a matter of time before Max’s true colors came to the surface.
When I looked up, tears threatened to spill out of her eyes. “I didn’t even suck his dick.” She let her head fall forward and it thumped against her forearm.
The same person shushed us again.
I whipped my head to the right and blurted, “Shush yourself.” I glared at the girl who was shooting us a dirty look. Her friends simply watched our exchange.
“This is the library,” she spat.
“And this is the group study area. If you want quiet, leave.”
The girl just pursed her lips and looked away.
