His response has me laughing out loud. “I don’t think it’s that easy.”
“Wildcat, I don’t see how this isn’t going to be a success. On the slim chance it’s not, we’ll weather it like we have everything else that’s come our way.”
He leans in and gives me a slow and sultry kiss that’s tempting me to drag him to the bedroom. Two years together and he still takes my breath away.
“Oh my God, stop kissing! We need to watch this before I fall asleep,” Everleigh says as she fights a yawn.
We reluctantly pull away from each other and Jackson hits play. Sydney doesn’t come on the screen until the eight-minute mark. As soon as I see myself, I look away. It’s always been hard to watch myself on the screen. Jackson kisses my head, pulling me closer.
“The woman playing Sydney is hot as fuck,” he whispers into my ear.
I laugh and Everleigh immediately shushes me. I giggle, but quieter this time. I turn my gaze to the TV and watch. Everyone involved with the show has done such a good job. It’s blowing my mind how amazing everything looks. As much as I wanted the Camilla part at first, I’m so glad I got the part of Sydney. Jasmine Moore plays Camilla perfectly. And she was much more open to the nudity the role requires while I would have requested a body double. Sydney will eventually get her sexy moments, but that will be in future seasons. This season Mitch Thomas, who plays Mason, and I only had one steamy scene, but it was all sexual tension, not even a kiss. Mitch and I have good chemistry, but he and Jackson have even better chemistry. Jackson wanted to meet the guy I would eventually be getting hot and heavy with, and they ended up bonding over their love of superheroes and fantasy football.Men.
What I’m most excited about is that the Sydney role was expanded from the books, giving the character her own arc and story. Cara worked with the writers on fleshing her out and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how it’s all going.
The first episode ends on a cliffhanger that has Everleigh awkwardly pushing up into a full seated position. “What?! We need to watch the next one.”
The streaming service released two episodes then the rest are going to be released weekly.
“Everleigh, you aren’t going to make it through another episode,” Gage says.
“I will! That was so good. Oh my God, Autumn! I wish I could jump up and hug you. It was so fucking amazing! You were so good! It was just…” Her eyes start to fill with tears.
I look at Gage and he looks like he might bust out laughing. He did mention she’s been overly emotional lately. Even knowing this, real concern takes over as a tear slips down her cheek. “Babe, are you okay?”
“Yes.” Her voice is full of tears. “It was just so good. I’m so proud of you.” Then she starts crying in earnest.
Her tears prompt my own. I’ve never had support like I’ve had since Jackson came into my life, along with Everleigh, Gage, and Cara. It still blows me away. Since I can move much easier, I get up and go hug Everleigh and we cry together. Then I get a hug from Gage and when I return to Jackson, even his eyes are shiny. And that touches my heart more than he’ll ever know.
“Come here,” he says and pulls me into his body. “I love you,” he says against my lips before he kisses me.
“I love you, too. All the way.”
“More than all the way.” He grins then kisses me again. “This show is going to be what everyone is talking about in the morning.”
I agree, but I can’t say the words. I have to take everything moment by moment.
“Let’s start the next one,” Everleigh says, her tears now wiped away. “There’s no way I’m falling asleep.”
We start the second episode and Everleigh is snoring within fifteen minutes. We decide to stop it and finish it in the morning. Gage wakes her up and they head to our guest room while Jackson and I tuck ourselves in our room. We approached the owner of the rental I used two years ago and offered to purchase it from him, and we’ve been living here ever since. Our stretches of long-distance aren’t always easy, but Jackson tries to visit me on set every couple of weeks and I try to be home in Austin as much as possible. We’ve found a way to make it work.
Jackson immediately strips me down as soon as we’re alone. I do the same to him. As soon as we fall onto the bed, he’s pushing inside me. Our love making is slow and sensual until it’s not. Then it’s hot and frantic, but no less emotional.
“Autumn…” He kisses me, our gazes locking as he starts to fuck me with slow, long strokes. “Thank you.”
“For what?”
“For breathing life back into me. For being my wife. For giving me a family again.”
Tears fill my eyes all over again. I pull his head down and kiss him deeply as I wrap my legs around his waist, urging him to fill me all the way. “Ditto.”
He pulls back, a half-grin on his lips. “You did not just use a line fromGhoston me.”
I’ve made him watch a plethora of movies since we’ve been together, especially a ton of the classics from the 80’s and 90’s. “Maybe.”
He laughs. “Only you would quote a movie while I’m fucking you.”
As much as I love our intense and frenzied sex sessions, I love it even more when we’re silly and relaxed. “Hey, it might be a simple word, but it’s meaning is huge. Just like in the movie.”
