They rode for about forty-five minutes, before he finally pulled off the main road and found somewhere to park.
They ended up at the beach, but not the one that was near her hotel. This was the famous Venice Beach, and she recognized it immediately, even in the darkness.
She dismounted the bike, shaking off her legs to stretch them a bit before removing her helmet and handing it to Rico, grinning at him.
“Why are we here?” she asked, not because she wasn’t grateful, but out of excitement and eagerness.
A smile played on Rico’s lips and he offered her his hand. “I thought we could take a walk along the beach. I’m guessing you’ve never been here. It’s a little way out of where you’re staying.”
“I haven’t,” she admitted, taking his hand and beginning to walk at his side, thrilled at the idea. “But I’ve heard so much about it.”
“Yep. The famous Venice Beach. It’s much better at night. Not as busy. And even more beautiful.”
They made their way onto the beach itself and towards the water’s edge, the ocean lapping gently on the shore but not quite reaching their feet.
The pair of them walked in silence for a while, just looking out at the sea and the glittering lights of Los Angeles. It truly was beautiful, and no words were needed.
A couple of times, she glanced across at Rico and caught him looking at her at the same time.
Then it happened again, and again.
Was she imagining things? It felt like he was literally staring at her, almost with an expression of awe. Even when she was looking in the other direction she could feel his eyes boring into her.
Surely, she was just imagining this…
But then he stopped walking, and she felt him tugging on her arm a bit.
“Ashleigh,” he was saying her name with a smile.
She stopped walking too, and turned to look at him in a daze.
He let go of her hand, lifting his own up to her cheek and cupping it gently as he gazed into her eyes.
This time, she knew it wasn’t going to be a simple peck on the cheek though, but the setting couldn’t have been more perfect for their first kiss.
He smiled, then leaned down to close the gap between them and Ashleigh closed her eyes, standing on tip toes slightly and leaning up to meet his lips with her own.
Her hands lifted up and went to his waist, holding him lightly, and she tilted her head slightly to one side as she parted her lips to receive the kiss.
Rico let out a soft noise and deepened their kiss straight away. He slid one hand around her body and kept the other on her cheek, sucking on her bottom lip slightly.
Deep down in her heart, Ashleigh knew that Rico didn’t exactly have the best reputation in the world when it came to women. He’d pick them up, see them for a while, then drop them again, and was known more for short flings and one-night stands rather than serious relationships. He’d always said in interviews that he wasn’t ready to settle down yet, and that was fine. Ashleigh had told her friends (and herself) the same thing, even though a part of her would secretly love to find that one special someone she could spend the rest of her life with. Realistically, she knew that wasn’t going to be Rico, but she certainly wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity to kiss (and potentially do more with) one of the most handsome men in show business. He was sweet and charming too, which made it even more tempting, although she had to keep reminding herself not to actually fall for him. This was just a fling, she repeated silently in her mind, even as his tongue slid into her mouth and began to roll over hers.
She responded immediately and gave a little whimper of pleasure.
His lips were soft, but firm and in control, and he tasted good. Sweet, with a hint of that chocolate dessert they’d had at the restaurant. And his smell, now that she was up close to him; it was almost intoxicating, making her physically weak and giddy as she practically melted in his arms.
It had been quite a while since her last kiss, but it had been a long time since anyone had kissed her like this, if ever.
She wasn’t sure how long it lasted, but by the time they pulled away from each other, she felt dizzy, and her eyes were half-closed in bliss.
He took both her hands in his and stared at her intensely. “Will you…will you come back to my hotel with me tonight?”
Ashleigh might have been young at just twenty-two, but she wasn’t an idiot. She knew what it meant when a handsome Hollywood star you’d just been kissing invited you back to his hotel room. It wasn’t just going to be for coffee and cake.
Still, she nodded breathlessly. She wanted it.
“Come on, let’s go,” he murmured softly, keeping hold of one of her hands and leading her back to the bike.
Twenty minutes later, they were strolling through the lobby of Rico’s hotel towards the elevator, arm in arm.
It was at least three stars better than Ashleigh’s place and extremely exclusive, but she wasn’t really paying too much attention to the décor; she was far too wrapped up in Rico as the two of them hurried into the elevator. He pressed the button for the fifth floor and then placed both his hands on her waist and pulled her close.
“You…are so gorgeous,” he smiled and looked down into her eyes.
“Pff. Says you.”
“Come here.”
“I am here. Couldn’t get much closer.”
“Shush.” He leaned down and pushed his lips to hers, and they kissed until the doors pinged open on the fifth floor.
He grabbed her hand and tugged her along the corridor to his room, quickly unlocking the door and pulling her inside, crashing his lips to hers again as soon as they were safely alone.
He pushed her against the wall, and she was slightly taken aback –and incredibly turned on– by how in control and dominant he was. It was hot, and she had no complaints.
He pinned her hands back a moment while they kissed, then let them go so he could start undressing himself, shrugging off his leather jacket and dropping it to the floor behind him, then working on his tie and shirt buttons.
Once she realized he was doing that, she began to join in, fumbling at his bottom buttons to help him, then moving to his pants, unbuckling the belt.
By that time, his shirt was undone and he shrugged it off, his toned, muscular arms reaching behind her to undo the clasp and zipper on the back of her dress. She ducked her head down a bit to assist, and also so she could keep her eyes on what she was doing.
She couldn’t help but check out his chest and upper body at the same time and, she wasn’t disappointed. Just as she thought, he was toned and perfect, his olive-colored skin delicious and gorgeous in the dimly lit atmosphere of his large hotel room.
Suddenly she felt a coolness on her back as Rico managed to undo her dress and push it off her shoulders. She wriggled them a little to help and then shrugged her arms out, the dress dropping to the floor and leaving her standing there in just her bra and underwear. She definitely felt exposed and slightly self-conscious, but then Rico’s lips were on her neck, kissing her most sensitive sweet spot, and she melted against him again, her body going weak in his arms as they wrapped around her.
She whimpered and felt him take her by the hand, breaking off to lead her over to the bed, leaving their clothes in a pile by the door where they’d stripped, both of them clearly too eager and excited to make it to the bed in the first place.
Once they were over there, he let go of her and sat down, smiling up at her.
“You’re gorgeous,” he reiterated, making her blush, her arms naturally going to cover herself slightly.
After Rico had taken off his pants, Ashleigh bit her lip and checked out his legs. They were firm and muscular, and a little hairy. Again, perfect, just like everything else about him.
“Come on… come over here.” He smiled and held out his hand, both of them naked now except for their underpants – and her bra.
She took his outstretched hand as he pulled her to the bed, sitting do
wn next to him on it. He twisted around and leaned in for a kiss, throwing one leg over her straight away and then placing his hands on her shoulders, pushing her backwards, once again asserting his dominance.
She whimpered in surprise and pleasure, her legs automatically lifting up in the air and wrapping around his waist as if they were already making love.
She felt his bulge pressing into her crotch and realized he was already quite hard down there.
It forced out of her another involuntary moan, and Rico responded by running his hands up and down her body, his fingertips dancing over her bare skin and making her shiver while he kissed her deeply.
She lifted her arms up and wrapped them around his neck and shoulders, pressing their bodies together even more and feeling herself get wet, wanting him desperately.
He pushed one hand into her hair and grabbed a fistful of it, his other moving further down her body and finally slipping in between the two of them, her fingers sliding into her panties and brushing over her warm wetness.
“Ahhh! Mmm…” she gasped and pushed her hips up into his touch.
He swirled his tongue over hers and shoved a finger inside her.
“Ah!” she moaned again, gushing wet now as he began to move it back and forth, his thumb flicking left and right over her clit at the same time and driving her wild.
He didn’t keep it up for long though and, wanting to take this to the next stage, he soon broke off from the kissing and sat up.
He rolled off her onto his back, lifting his ass up in the air so he could take off his boxers.
Ashleigh took the opportunity to sit up on her knees, knowing she should probably undress too but feeling pretty self-conscious about her small breasts.
“You’re the gorgeous one around here,” she remarked, looking down at his perfect body as he dropped his boxers to the floor and kicked them off the ends of his feet, his slightly bigger than average cock now on full display, standing up proud and hard.
He sat up on his elbows a bit and looked at her, shaking his head. “Don’t put yourself down. You’re beautiful, I promise.” His eyes roamed quickly up and down her body, then one hand reached out and settled on her waist. “You want some help with that bra?”
She smiled, relaxing a bit. “If you don’t mind…”
“It would be my pleasure,” he teased with an amused smirk, sitting up properly and reaching his hands over behind her, unclasping it and letting it fall back off her shoulders.
He immediately leaned in and began kissing at her breasts, starting with the left, then the right, sucking her nipple into his lips gently.
She gasped in pleasure and pushed one hand into his soft, dark hair. She really hadn’t been expecting that and it felt good.
It had been so long since she’d done anything with a guy that all of this felt amazing, her body already on fire and tingling from every touch.
Rico knew exactly what he was doing and how to please her.
He pulled back and looked up at her from his position in between her breasts, then sat up and pushed her onto her back.
She flopped down on the bed with a gasp, looking up at him.
He smiled and took hold of her legs, spreading them apart and getting in between them, then he reached up with both hands and tucked his perfectly shaped, delicate fingers into the waistband of her lacy underwear, slowly beginning to tease them down to reveal her full nakedness.
She lifted her hips up off the bed and wriggled them a bit to help him and soon, she was fully exposed and blushing as he gazed down at her naked body with an expression of awe, his eyes sparkling.
“You’re perfect,” he whispered, running his hands delicately up and down her stomach and along her thighs.
She blushed even deeper and shook her head, but he didn’t really give her much time to argue, reaching over to his bedside table and picking up a packet of condoms.
She noticed they were already open and a couple were missing from the pack as he took a fresh one out and ripped the wrapper open.
She wondered how often he slept with girls like this. Was she his first one this shoot, or had there already been others? It was foolish of her to expect anything more than just a one-night stand from this, but the courting and the dinners had been nice. At least he’d made a bit of an effort and not just asked her straight into bed.
She watched him expertly roll the condom onto his impressively hard cock, biting her lip nervously. This was it. She was about to have sex with Rico Fernandez. This is an opportunity so many young women would kill for.
And a moment later he was leaning down over her, sliding his arms underneath her shoulders and clamping their bodies together while he lined himself up down below.
She could feel the tip of his erection touching her hole and she let out a little whimper of anticipation which was soon followed by an all-out gasp and moan as he moved his hips forwards and pressed into her.
He slid inside easily, as she was already so wet and eager, and she lifted her legs up and wrapped them around his waist as she felt him filling her up.
“Mmm….” She arched her back up off the bed a bit, her eyes rolling in pleasure.
Rico moaned and buried his face into her neck, kissing and sucking on the skin as he rested inside her a moment, getting used to how it felt.
Then he slowly began to move his hips, back and forth, taking his time and gradually building up the pace of their love-making.
Ashleigh let out moan after moan as he started to snap into her, his thrusts gaining momentum and force, and her noises getting louder and more out of control as a result.
“That’s it,” he encouraged under his breath, being a fairly silent lover overall aside from his occasional dirty talk. “Moan nice and loud for me… I want everyone to hear…”
“Rico!” she cried out loud.
He switched up their position a bit and grabbed her by the wrists, pinning her arms down either side of her head as he pounded into her, the bed starting to rock and shake, and bang against the wall.
“Ah! Rico! Ah!” She continued to be loud for him as he dug his nails into her wrists a little.
“Yeah…you like that, don’t you?” he murmured, closing his eyes in pleasure as a light sheen of sweat began to break out along his forehead.
She knocked into him with her heels, encouraging him to go harder and deeper, loving every second of it and almost screaming by the time he exploded inside of her five minutes later.
He let out a cry of ecstasy, his face twisting up beautifully and his thrusts finally slowing and faltering as he rode out the orgasm.
He pulled out, then straight away shuffled down the bed and buried his face into her wetness, attacking her with his tongue and flicking it back and forth over her clit to make sure she fell over the edge too, and it didn’t take long. She was already sensitive from the thorough pounding he’d given her, and she felt her toes tingling and her legs start to tremble.
She grabbed a fistful of hair and arched her back, screaming and squealing as her head thrashed from side to side, her body releasing more juices onto his face and tongue.
When he came up for air a few seconds later, his chin and lips were glistening from it. He grinned at her and she smiled back, exhausted and all puffed out.
“Oh my God…” she managed to whisper, slowly releasing her grasp on his hair.
Rico rolled off her and to the side, collapsing on the bed beside her, his chest glimmering in sweat.
The two of them lay there like that for a moment or two, then slowly turned and cuddled up to one another, silently laying in each other’s arms for the next five minutes while they got their breath back and recovered.
“Wow,” Rico finally spoke. “You were something else.”
Ashleigh gave a little giggle. “So were you.”
He kissed her gently on the lips, then got up and rolled off the used condom, tossing it into the trash.
“I’m gonna take a shower,” he announced.
“Okay,” she smiled and curled up in his bed, pulling the covers up over her.
Five minutes later when he was done, she took a shower too, and then, both clean, they got into bed together and fell asleep, entwined in each other’s arms.
Chapter Twelve
Ashleigh woke up first the following morning, and she was glad of it. It gave her the opportunity to quietly slip out of bed, find her clothes that were strewn all over the floor, and sneak out of the hotel room before Rico stirred.
Thankfully, they had become detached from each other at some point in the night and he was now on the other side of the bed, half hanging out of it, his limbs akimbo.
She smiled slightly to herself as she took a moment to observe him, then fumbled with her heels and awkwardly left the hotel room, very gently closing the door behind her and feeling like such a whore leaving looking all dishevelled and very obviously wearing evening clothes from the night before.
The walk of shame from the elevator out the lobby and through the main doors was particularly painful and seemed to last forever. She was relieved to finally get outside into the LA sunshine and quickly flag down a passing taxi to take her back to her own hotel room. She needed to get changed and have a coffee before she was due to be picked up by Tim at 9am.
She put on something a bit more respectable and used some makeup to cover the marks Rico had left on her neck with his eager kisses.
She couldn’t stop thinking about what happened. She kept telling herself it was probably just going to be a one-time thing, but regardless, she was grateful for it, and she was glad she got to see a side of Rico she hadn’t expected – the cute romantic taking her for midnight strolls on Venice Beach. Or maybe that was just how he got all the girls into bed. It certainly worked on her. She was pretty smitten, despite herself.
That day, she was on the set as Rico had promised. He looked over at her a couple of times while he was filming some scenes and gave her the merest of smiles, but most of the morning they were both too busy doing their own separate things to actually interact.
