"Hell yes," he mumbled.
I stood and glanced over my shoulder. "You did that on purpose."
"Put my shorts on the ground?" He gave me a silly look. "Where else would I put them? They're dirty."
"Then why are you wearing them?" I popped my hip out and tilted my head to the side. "Hmmm?"
"You're right. Throw them over there with our dirty clothes. My clean shorts are over there on the ground. Grab them for me?" He wagged his eyebrows.
"Asshat." I tossed his dirty shorts at him before tackling him on the bed.
"I'll wear your ass on my head." He laughed and pulled me down for a long kiss.
"That didn't even make sense."
"No? It did to me, but I was just thinking about your nether region up here in my upper." He drew a circle around his face and licked his lips. "Speaking of. Go shower and come back and ride my face."
"No way. We have a million things to do, and filming is this morning." I reached up and ran my fingers through his hair.
"It's five in the morning. We have a few hours. Go clean up and come back so I can get you dirty all over again." He ran his hand down my back and squeezed my ass. "Now. It wasn't a question."
"Hmm. Aggressive. I like it." I nipped at his lips and rolled off the bed.
He didn't have to tell me more than twice.
Chapter 13
Ethan
The rest of the day was spent filming, every fucking second of it. By Saturday night, everyone was so tired that we decided against our wrap up party for the location. I passed out on the bed while Riley moved around me, packing up my stuff for me. The woman was far too good for a scoundrel like me, but I'd take her.
I woke the next morning with her tucked against my side, both of us still in our clothes from the day before. After kissing her forehead and watching her for a few minutes, like a real creepazoid, I got up and changed into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt.
My brother had been MIA for the last few days, and he was our ride home, so early or not, he had to get up. I grabbed our room key and left, walking down the hall toward his room. A smile spread across my face as I glanced back down the hall, leaning back as far as I could to look around the gigantic fern.
Seth was nowhere in sight, but it would have been hilarious had he been. The guy was a jokester and one of my favorite people to have on the set. I'd have to make a point of telling Frank that we needed to book him for all of our other projects.
I knocked on the door and was surprised when my brother opened it; the phone pressed to his ear. The grimace on his face let me know that something was up.
"I know what you said, but I'm telling you that the decision is mine to make. Not hers." He growled loudly and dropped down on the bed, nothing but a towel around his waist. "Put her on the phone.
I walked in and closed the door behind me, lifting an eyebrow as he glared my way.
"Fine!" He barked into the phone. "Tell her she better be at the fucking dinner tonight and that I'm not happy. She's got some explaining to do. Period."
He tossed the phone onto the bed behind him and flopped back. "Ugh. I hate women who think they know everything."
"That's all woman." I scratched my five o'clock shadow. "And most men if we're being honest here." I walked over to the windows and pulled back the curtain.
My brother made a vampire hissing sound. "This chick is extra fucking special in her own head."
"Sounds like your kind of challenge." I sat down on the chair nearest me and leaned back, clasping my hands over my stomach. "What's her name?"
"Mona." He ran his fingers through his wet hair and smiled. "And she makes me wanna Mona her name."
"Oh God." I rolled my eyes and stood up. "You're never going to grow up."
"Not unless someone forces me to."
"Pays you lots of money?" I lifted my hands to the ceiling and stretched.
"Nope. Not even then." He sat up and ran his hands down his thighs. "Besides, they already do that."
"True." I glanced around, realizing that the asshat was already packed. "Wow. What time did you get up?"
"Four." He gave me a warning look. "Grab your shit and let's get out of here. You know I have that big dinner tonight." He paused briefly before cutting me off. "I want you there. I need comic relief, and someone to restrain me should this woman get on my last nerve, and I’ve got to strangle her. It's highly likely."
"Alright. Riley will be there too, then. I'm not spending the evening without her." I walked to the door. "She's riding back with us."
"Whatever. Just meet me downstairs in twenty minutes."
"This chick really has you going." I opened the door and glanced back. "Maybe she's the one."
"Fuck that. I wouldn't even try to get her into bed. She's mean, dude. Probably eats dicks as a side dish to her Wheaties in the morning." He snorted, and I walked out on that note.
My brother wasn’t growing up for anyone or anything. Or so he thought.

"Well, that was interesting." Riley glanced over at me as I opened the door to my house for her and stepped back.
"You'll have to get used to my brother. He has no filter, and he's a total dick." I ran my hand down her back, squeezing her ass before she swatted at me and walked into the house.
"Speaking of dick." She turned and walked backward, giving me a sexy smile.
"You wanna play with yours?" I cupped myself and walked into the house, pulling the door closed behind me.
"Yes, but later. You fell for that almost too easily." She dropped the bags in her hands and pressed her fingers into my chest as she slid them up to lock them around my neck. "Your brother needs to decorate his house. It looks like he's a sterile asshole when you walk in. Text him and see if he'll let me do it."
"Really?" I smiled and leaned down to steal a few kisses from my sexy girl. Riding home with Liam had been good seeing that I didn't have to sweat anything, but on the other hand, I probably would have gotten a hand job or maybe even a blow job if we'd been alone.
"Hell yes. I love doing stuff like that, and I never get to. We're poor, remember? Or we were." She pulled out of my arms and reached for her bags.
"Leave that there. I'll get it. Go get us something to drink and get on the couch. We'll spend the morning snuggling seeing that we had to leave in such a hurry."
Her smile was contagious, warming from the inside out.
"Why was Liam in such a hurry?" She turned and walked toward the kitchen as I watched her go. Her sweet curve called to me and my cock twitched several times before waking up. Maybe the snuggling would turn into something a little more invasive.
"He's got that party tonight that I told you about."
"And?" She called out from the kitchen.
"And one of the women coming is someone that drives him bonkers." I chuckled and picked up the remaining bags before lugging them all down to one of the spare bedrooms in my place.
Her voice behind me startled me. "And that's a bad thing?"
"For my brother?" I turned to face her and released everything. "Absolutely not. It's a turn on, but he'll fight it. He's a super dominant prick. You know this."
"I do." She walked toward me and wrapped me in a hug. "You have a few of those tendencies too."
"Me?" I squeaked my response like I was in shock. "Never."
"Are you hard?" She glanced up at me and smiled before sliding her hands down my stomach and cupping me.
"Um, yes. You're here, and we're finally alone." I touched the side of her face. "Can we just stay locked up here forever? I can have someone deliver food, and we'll go in the backyard for adventures and sunlight."
She laughed and licked her lips. My pulse spiked.
"That actually doesn’t sound too bad." She walked around me and sat down on the bed, beckoning me to come to her.
I moved over to the bed and ran my fingers through her hair. "You know if you want to redecorate here when you move in, it's all yours."
Her eye
s brightened, and my world felt bigger, better. "Really? I would love that."
"Good. Cause I love you." I leaned down and kissed her as she worked on the button on my shorts. She pulled it open and tugged the zipper down slowly as my breath caught in my chest.
"I want to taste you." She glanced up at me, purring her words.
"I'd like that, baby. A lot." I slipped my boxer briefs off and stroked myself as she licked at her mouth a few more times. Every cell in my body was screaming for release thanks to her teasing me with her 'come fuck me' eyes.
"Good." She reached out and ran her hands down my erection, using both of them thanks to the girth. She kissed my head and slipped the big fucker in her mouth, taking an inch or two before gagging. I was far too big to expect her to suck me off properly, but it was Ri. I would take anything she would give me and come back to beg for more.
"You're so beautiful, baby," I whispered and massaged the base of her head, playing with her hair and moaning loudly as she worked me into a frenzy. My heart beat so hard in my chest I thought it might be trying to get out as she sucked and nibbled on me.
"You taste so good, Ethan." She looked up, locking eyes with me as she rolled her tongue in slow circles around my cock before licking up the back of my shaft.
"Fuck." I closed my eyes and pressed into her hands, helping her a little. I was so close to losing myself, more from her being the one beneath me than anything else.
"Come for me," she murmured and sucked me back into her mouth. She picked up the pace, and my knees grew week. I gripped her shoulders and leaned over again, squeezing my ass and undulating my hips to press into her warm wetness just a little more.
She gagged again, and that was it. I cried out and stiffened, my muscles locking into place as my body exploded. Her greedy sucking sound had me going longer than I thought possible, but she never let up. If I didn't know she was the one before, I sure as fuck did then.
Any woman willing to drink me down and not put up a fuss with my size or the length of my orgasm was a keeper. This one was solid gold. There wasn't anything I wouldn't do for her.
"Fuck, baby." I reached down and pulled her up by her arms before kissing her hard.
She wrapped herself around me, and I memorized the feeling of being wanted so passionately. There wasn't a movie I'd ever seen or played a role in that could compare to the real thing.
There was nothing like what we had in the world. Fear drove through me as she kissed and licked at my mouth. How long would it last?
"Hey. You still here with me?" She ran her fingers down my face and cupped my neck as I held her close to me.
"Yeah. I was just thinking how badly I want this to last."
"And it's going to. We're done with all of that drama bullshit. Right?" She slid down my body and stepped back, leaning down to pick up my clothes.
"Absolutely, but we have to protect what we got, Ri. The world will look for a million ways to destroy it." I tossed them behind me and pulled off my t-shirt as well. "Get naked and come lay on the couch with me for the afternoon."
"Make me." She gave me a cheeky smile, and I knew that the conversation was over for the time being. We would work together to guard what we had growing between us, just like we'd started to protect each other on the sets and in the world of entertainment.
She had my back, and I had hers.
"You hungry?" I asked as I pulled her dress over her head and reached around her to take her bra off. The sight of her soft, heavy breasts had my cock bouncing around again. I leaned down and ran my tongue around her nipple before pulling it into my mouth.
She moaned and slipped her hands into my hair. "I could eat."
"Even after all of this?" I stood up and gripped myself.
"You're incorrigible. You know that." She turned to walk out of the room in nothing but pink panties.
"No big words this early in the morning." I popped her ass and followed her into the kitchen. "Speaking of big words. I need to work on my lines a little bit today before we go to Liam's."
"Me too." She stopped in the kitchen and slid her panties down her thighs, leaning over and giving me the perfect view of her ass and pussy playing peekaboo with me.
I ran my hands over her curves and pressed myself against her soft skin as she yelped and stood up.
"Warn someone!" She laughed before walking into my kitchen naked.
I was in heaven. "You tease. You bent over hoping I would trip and fall into your sweet little body."
"Lies. Go get your lines and bring them in here while I start making breakfast."
"I thought you didn't like to cook." I watched her closely as she moved around the kitchen, the woman a goddess that I didn't deserve.
"I don't, but for you, I'd do just about anything." She smiled.
"Like bend back over and grip your ankle for an hour or so?" I lifted an eyebrow, pushing a little.
"Brother. Go get your lines." She rolled her eyes, and I laughed as I turned and walked back down the hallway.
Thoughts of the future raced through my head as I walked to my office. No one had taken the time to take care of me - ever. Deza was a good stand-in, but she was getting paid to make sure I didn't starve or wander off somewhere, never to be heard from again.
Riley loved me. It was different, and the idea of being loved by her changed everything.
My career didn't seem so fucking important anymore. Being adored by fans and wanted by every woman in the world wasn't even on my radar when I stopped to think about it.
"Weird," I whispered and picked up a packet from my desk. The film would be over in a few months, and life would settle down for a brief time before it all started again.
But maybe it didn't have to start again. I'd had a ton of good fortune alright. Maybe I step back and let her have a turn with support. I could be at her beck and call, going to sets with her, toting her bags and rubbing her feet after long days.
I could be everything she needed me to be, and the weirdest part was that I wanted to. I loved her with an unexplainable fire inside of me, and I wasn't going to take no for an answer when I proposed.
"Proposed?" I squeaked out and turned around to the open door in my office as fear raged through me. Yeah. Fuck it. I was going to do it, cause, why not?
I was Ethan Lewis, on and off the screen. Time to woo my girl the way only I knew how.
I needed to buy a ring.
Chapter 14
Riley
"You're quiet today. You okay?" I reached over and slid my hand up Ethan's thigh as we rode in his Ferrari over to Liam's house. His brother wanted him to show off a little, which Ethan seemed to hate, but he did it anyway.
I wasn't sure why he didn't just tell his brother to suck a nut like he did everyone else, but it was none of my business. If I'd learned one thing over my short life and many messed up relationships, it was to get involved only when it counted. This time did not.
"Hmmm?" He glanced over at me and gripped my hand tightly. "Oh, nothing. Just thinking about how good it's going to feel to wrap up this movie, and yet, it means you and I are done working together for a while."
"That's true." I snuggled back into my seat, loving the way the leather held me like it was designed to cuddle anyone who sat down in it. "What are we going to do about co-starring with other people?"
"What do you mean?" He pulled up to the house, and I was a little surprised to find a valet booth out in front of the house.
"I don't want to kiss someone else on screen, and I sure as hell don't want you to." I got out of the car, taking the hand of the guy who offered it and a warm smile.
"Evening, Miss."
"Hi." I walked to the back of the car and slipped my arm around Ethan's as he offered it. The tight black dress I wore left me feeling a little overdone. Ethan's suit and tie made him look regal, like royalty.
"You get used to it, baby doll." He winked at me. "And don't worry. Everyone woman I have to kiss, I'll be thinking of you. It's just part of th
e job. Slip into character and back out. Just make sure if you ever start really feeling something for a co-star that you talk to me about it."
"You'd let me go that easy?" I scoffed as we walked up the long stairway to Liam's mansion.
"What? Fuck no." He laughed. "I'd have Liam kill him, and we'd make it look like an accident. Clayton was on that list. He's damn lucky that Frank fired him before he messed up again."
"You broke a few of his teeth from what I heard." I gave him a tight look of disapproval and moved in front of Ethan. The hot brush of his breath on the back of my neck caused chill bumps to break out on my exposed skin.
"And I'd have done it again and again if need be." He slid a hand around my waist and pressed against my back as we waited in line. His soft lips brushed over my shoulder, and I shivered. "No one messes with my woman."
"No one puts baby in a corner?" I smiled and glanced over my shoulder to find him smiling too. "I love you."
"Alright, you two. Get in here." Liam broke up the moment, which was one of his specialties from what I'd gathered. "Don't eat the brown goo stuff. It's a pâté, but it tastes like barf."
"Really?" Ethan moved up beside me and offered his brother his hand. "Why did you order it?"
"I ordered a bunch of fancy shit that I didn't know what it was. It's a party. Hello." He motioned for us to get inside before wagging his eyebrows at me. "Riley Phillips. You are the finest girl at this party."
"Girl?" I glanced up at Ethan as we walked into the house.
The walls were so plain, and the place was far too modern for my liking, but it wasn't mine. Hopefully, Liam would let me decorate it. I could do so much with so much space and the chunk of change I had no doubt that Ethan's brother would drop on a redecoration project.
"Woman." He slid his hand into mine, intertwining our fingers. "Come on. Let's get a drink."
"Ethan Lewis!" A tall woman with long black hair and pale skin walked over; her eyes lit up at the idea of seeing Ethan. "You look incredible. I told my family that I'd get to see you today. Can you sign something for me? My sisters and I just love your work."
