“What if it’s me and I’m asking you to spread those thick thighs and show me that pretty pussy?”

Moisture flooded her core and she gasped. Although a tellingflush dotted his cheeks as he stared down at her, no one would be able to tell that the proper royal had such a wicked mouth that said such wicked things. That he saved that part of himself for her gave her a thrill like none other.

She looked around. “Do you suppose there’s a room we can use real quick?”

She was joking.

Partially.

“There’s nothing quick about what I want to do to you,” he said.

Good Lord!

“There you are!” Nyla exclaimed, hurrying toward them, stunning in a silver LaQuan Smith gown. “I’ve been waiting for you!”

“Congratulations on the movie,” Dani said, pulling her into a hug.

“Thank you.” Nyla’s hazel eyes glittered with excitement. When she turned to Jay, she winked before dipping into a curtsy and raising her voice. “Your Royal Highness.”

Jameson leaned forward to kiss her cheek. “I told you to call me Jameson.”

“I know,” Nyla said, “but do you see the jealousy they can’t hide because they’re not over here with us?”

“Why wouldn’t they be jealous? We’re hanging out with the star of the mo—”

Nyla waved away the flattery. “Don’t even! Look, this is a small rom-com that’s projected to do well, in terms of making its budget back, but you guys showing up will turn this into the event of the summer! Talk about a serious case of FOMO! Pics and videos will be posted on Instagram and TikTok, if they aren’t already, and when everyone talks about you, they’ll mention the title of the movie! It’s a win-win, trust.”

That’s why she loved Nyla and valued her and their friendship. She was a real one.

Dani rubbed Nyla’s arm where it was bared by the dramatic cutout sleeve. “Are you excited?”

“Oh yeah. This is insane,” Nyla said, gesturing around them at the posters that featured her beautiful face in various expressions and the huge ten-foot display of her with the different leading men from the movie. “How many premieres have I gone to, either as a guest or where my role was so small people barely knew I was in the movie? Now it’s my turn.”

“It’s about time.”

“I know that’s right. They’re saying I’m a ‘luminous new face to watch.’” Nyla’s nails sparkled as she made air quotes with her fingers.

Dani rolled her eyes. “The entertainment business is always late. Claiming someone is a new star or just discovered when they’ve been working for ten years.”

“And they say we’re on CP time!” Nyla laughed.

Jameson’s brows met over his regal nose. “CP time?”

Which only made them laugh harder.

“We have to stop,” Dani wheezed, touching a pinkie to the corner of her eye, in an attempt to stem a tear from rolling down her cheeks. “You know how Rhonda is about my makeup. She’s probably watching this on someone’s IG Live and calling me out my name.”

Vicky appeared next to them. “Prince Jameson, someone named Oscar Michaels wants to speak with you for a moment.”

“We met a few years ago at the queen’s birthday celebration,” Jay explained, his expression brightening. He placed a hand on the small of Dani’s back. “Would you excuse me for a moment?”

His question wasn’t a statement dressed up in the requirements of etiquette. He actually waited for her to answer. She loved that about him.

“Go do you, boo.”

He gave her the look he reserved for when she was being extra. “I won’t be long, love.”

He followed her publicist, the ever-present Roy trailing behind.
