That elephant trunk belongs to my asshole co-star? And he just struts around, buck naked, like he owns the place?
I guess that one shouldn’t surprise me.
So many thoughts hit my brain like Nerf pellets. All those D-lister flings. I mean, no wonder. Do they talk about it? They have to, right? That thing is not normal! For some absurd reason, I’m shamelessly curious.No, no, no!I order my eyes to stop staring at his goods, but they won’t move. Now I understand why men ogle cleavage—sometimes the eyes refuse the brain’s instructions.
“Why are youhere?“ I scold, like he’s done something wrong.
His face twists, and after he walks over, he says, “My dad texted me. Said it was an emergency.”
Last year, Maddox’s Rock & Roll Hall of Famer father, Billy Road, was reunited with the daughter he shares with Skye. He and Skye became friends and co-parents.
It was Billy Road who scored me the audition forUrban Dawn. But why he and Skye are at a nude beach together far away from home is beyond me—maybe they’re making plans for the charity event they’re hosting together this weekend. Or maybe theyarelegitimately in trouble.
“Skye called and said the same thing to me,” I say, wringing my hands. Ireallydon’t want to get naked in front of Maddox. Yes, last week I gave him a lap dance in a G-string and pasties, but that waswork. And that was before I knew he had a spectacular dick. Right now, I’m definitely feeling like my nickname. I turn to the women, desperate when I say, “Can I wear my bra and panties?”
Lady Lipstick scoots over and points to the sign behind her. It says, “Strictly enforced: no clothing allowed, including shoes, socks, shirts, pants, shorts, dresses, and undergarments of any kind. Hats and sunglasses permitted.”
I blow out a long breath. “Listen, I’m in a rush—“
“Then I suggest disrobing as soon as possible so we can let you in.” Lady Lipstick shoots me a feigned smile.
“C’mon, Riley. Let’s just do this.” Maddox stretches his arms over his head, like he’s gearing up for a jog.
Groaning, I know I have to go for it. It’s just the human body, right? And it’s probably only a matter of time before I’ll have to bare it all on the show for intimate scenes—an occupational hazard.
Also, going to a nude beach used to be on my bucket list, back when I had more bravado than I do these days, apparently. I’ve always been down to try new experiences, so what’s stopping me now?
I take off my flip-flops, cursing to myself when my feet sink into the burning August sand. My tank top and bra come off without incident.
The ladies are unfazed, and Maddox isn’t even looking at me, as usual, so I slide my shorts and panties off in one swoop.
Okay, this isn’t so bad. I even have to say, “Ready,” to get Maddox’s attention.
He pumps a fist without looking at me. “Good. I’m tight on time.”
Whatever. Right now, being invisible to him works to my advantage. Although, I have to fight the urge to cross my legs slightly when I look at the women and say, “Better?”
The sun hats nod in synchrony, and Lady Lipstick points to a structure behind the sign. “You can leave your clothes in the cubbies here. Enjoy your empowering experiences.”
After I drop off my clothes, Maddox speed walks straight ahead. “I didn’t think you’d do it.”
“But you don’t know me.”
After a pause, he says, “Good point.”
We head to the beach, and I’m still fighting not to put a hand over my crotch. We arrive at dock four as Skye instructed, and she’s here, in all her glory, of course, sitting beside a makeshift fire pit.
Billy Road is sitting next to her, and he has both of her five-pound Yorkies, Dolly and Llama, strapped into a doggie bjorn on his chest. So, he and Skye are just hanging out? Naked?
I mean, it has been very exciting for all of them to be reunited.
“Dad, what are you doing?” Maddox is irked.
“I’m livin’ free, Son.”
I wave to Billy, reminded of the fact that Maddox got his looks from his father. The man is tall, fit, gray-haired, and devastatingly distinguished.
But, oh, no.He’s standing.
