“Home and because I do like to shower after a night out,” I lie effortlessly.
“Why are there pictures of you and Paxton looking less than friendly?”
I groan remembering the pictures that were snapped while we were at the gala. “It’s not my fault. Paxton is pressing taking a trip together and according to his big mouth security, he has a ring that I do not want. I swear to god, Cooper, if he asks me to marry him the answer is no so you need to tell his team not to even try it because he’ll get embarrassed.” He groans and I continue. “There are fake relationships all over Hollywood that are mutually beneficial and require no trips or fake engagements. Why is Paxton so pressed on keeping me under his thumb?”
He sighs. “My guess is he still has feelings for you.”
“That’s not my problem, Coop. I’m almost ready to release the truth. You need to put him in check or I will.”
Another sigh. “I heard tonight went well. I’ve gotten quite a few calls…”
Excitement courses through me at the thought that I generated some buzz tonight. Lorenzo had a lot of questions regarding how I wanted to transition from a TV star to something bigger. If I felt that I was ready for movies. The kind of roles I’d want to play. The kind of roleshecould seemeplaying. They were the kind of questions that directors asked when they’re interested in casting youorif they have you in mind for a specific role. Producers flocked to me all night with questions about whether I had time for breakfast or dinner or coffee and to chat about my future.
My back has been to Damian this whole time and when I turn around, I notice him staring at what would have been my ass because he’s staring at my pussy. His eyes shoot to mine at having been caught checking me out and I shake my head. His eyes are hungry and I can see the tension in his sharp jaw as he runs his eyes slowly down my body.
“Yeah, it was great.” I cut him off as he’s been talking for the past thirty seconds. “Coop, I’m tired. Can we talk about this tomorrow?”
“That’s fine. I’m going to call Paxton’s manager in the meantime and try and straighten this out. I think those pictures are going to be online by morning.”
“Okay?” I say, without a care in the world about what happens. I’m hoping at this point they out us, so I can be done with it.
“Why is Damian between you two anyway?” he questions.
“I called him over.”
“Because?”
I let out a sound of annoyance. “He wouldn’t let go of me.”
“Are you serious?” he barks and I can already hear Cooper’s slight parental instincts he has regarding me coming out.
“It didn’t hurt but he wasn’t listening and I just wanted him off me.”
Damian’s eyes go from sexy to angry when he realizes what I’m talking about. He’s on his feet, holding his hand out for me to hand him the phone when I shake my head.No.I mouth, because what reason would I have for Damian to be hanging out with me at midnight? It could be completely innocent, but I don’t need Cooper on my case about keeping thingsprofessionalwith Damian. My eyes drop down to his dick that’s swaying between his legs as he gets closer to me. I feel my skin heating and my sex tingles with the need to feel him there.
Not now though!
I hold my hand out to stop him from coming closer.
“This fucker is really making it difficult for me to sell you on this ruse,” he says and I take a step back as Damian takes another step closer.
“I’ll come by tomorrow and we can talk about it.” I want him off the phone before Damian takes it from me.Although, he could if he wanted to.“I’m going to bed,” I say before he has a chance to bring up anything else he wanted to talk about.
“Alright, you okay, Shay?”
“Fine, just tired.”
Damian’s arms wrap around me and he lifts me off the floor. I hold in the moan sitting in the back of my throat as we end the call and I glare at him.
“Okay, not doing that while I’m on the phone is a part of the ground rules.”
He carries me into the bathroom and sets me on my feet. He reaches for my makeup remover from my small vanity I have on the counter and pours some onto a cotton pad before rubbing it along my face.
“You should have let me talk to him.” He rubs the makeup from my skin gently and I’ll admit there’s something sexy about having a man do this for me.
Something a man has never done.
“I could do this myself, you know.”
