I pull him close, not ready for him to leave me. Not wanting him to pull away again and pretend this wasn’t life changing. Because it was. Noah Jackson has ruined me, and I don’t care. I want him to ruin me over and over again.

He lifts up on his elbow and looks at me, there’s a soft satisfaction in his expression. There’s even a tender smile on his lips. Then I see reality set in. A panic comes into his eyes, and I have to take control before it turns to regret, because I don’t think I can handle him saying this was a mistake. Not while he’s still inside me.

I shift and it prompts him to move. The instant his body leaves mine, I miss it. Everything inside me wants to stay, but if I have a chance of winning him over, I need to play the game.

“That was definitely worth the wait,” I say as I stand up. I lean in and give his cheek a kiss. “Good night.”

When I get back to the doorway, I turn to look at him over my shoulder. “Oh, and you’re rehired.”

JACKSON

I knew sex with Autumn would be good.

I just didn’t know it would be so good that I would go days thinking of nothing else. That the taste of her would linger on my tongue. That the feel of sinking into her wet heat would keep me in such a state of arousal that I’m seriously worried about my dick. It’s like it decided that if I’m not going to give it what it wants then it’s going make sure I’m as miserable as possible in protest.

And I am miserable. Because I want her again.

And it doesn’t help that it’s been two days and Autumn’s acting like nothing happened. She’s been busy trying to get everything ready for her audition. She’s on the phone constantly, working on lines and rehearsing several different scenes. This is probably the worst week to dive into…whatever we’re doing.

Not to mention, she’s still pushing my bodyguard buttons. She left me this morning while I was on my run again. I really should have learned my lesson on that one. At least I kept my personal car at our rented house. She texted that she was at a spa appointment and would meet me for shopping when she was done. The spa was one of those exclusive ones only the rich can afford, so I decided it wasn’t worth it to follow her and waited until it was time to meet her. Thankfully, media gossip on her has died down since a prominent Hollywood couple announced their separation.

When I pull up to the address Autumn gave me, it isn’t what I was expecting at all. It’s a vintage clothes store plus costume shop, not some high-end boutique. Autumn’s car is already here and when I walk into the place, it’s filled with racks of clothes from wall to wall, all vintage and eclectic.

I look around for Autumn, but all I see are two brunette women in the far corner of the store. Then one of them turns and looks at me. My stomach clenches as my brain processes who I’m looking at. She waves at me, and I swear my heart stops before kicking back in gear at a double-time pace.

Christ, she’s gorgeous.

I close the distance between us and her eyes light up with desire and excitement. When I reach her, I take a strand of the rich, deep brown hair with golden highlights in between my fingers as I take her all in. The new hair color brings out a glow in her skin and makes those whiskey eyes deepen to a bourbon color.

“Like it?” She asks with a bit of hesitancy to her voice.

“You’re beautiful, wildcat. No hair color is going to change that, but this…this feels like you.

Her eyes turn shiny before she nods.

“I love it. But as long as you love it, that’s all that matters to me.”

She gives me a stunning smile before she pulls me into her side and introduces me to the shop’s owner, Felicity. Felicity assures us all cameras are off, but also lets us see for ourselves. She also produces a signed NDA before she gives us some privacy to walk around.

I look at Autumn, impressed she went to all the lengths I would have.

She winks at me. “I’ve learned a thing or two from you.”

“I like it. So, are you going to tell me why you’ve emptied out a costume shop?”

“Because shopping without people taking my picture all the time is much more enjoyable.”

“Not that part. The costume shop part.”

“I need the perfect Camilla outfit for my audition.” She leans into me. “You ready for a dressing room montage scene today?”

I groan and she laughs. She has no idea that this will be torture, not because it’s shopping, but because I’m going to see Autumn in all sorts of sexy outfits. My cock is already twitching in excitement.

“Is that why you dyed your hair?” Camilla is dark-haired.

She shrugs. “It’s part of it. But mostly I wanted to get back to my natural color. Or at least close to it.” She takes a few strands in her hands and gives it a look before letting them fall away. “I’m going to get some new headshots while I’m with the videographer. He’s a photographer as well. I want something that isn’t all girl next door. Maybe even something a little in character with Camilla, we just need to find the perfect Camilla outfit.”
