  Grace pulls me into a soft kiss and says, “That was fun.”

  “Yeah, it was.”

  After catching our breath, Grace says, “That was a great rehearsal.” She smiles from ear to ear. “I think I’m ready to go back down there and finish our scene.” She eyes me from the side with a sexy little grin, then plants a quick kiss on the corner of my mouth before she pulls herself off of me and heads for her pile of clothes. I take care of the condom and zip my pants up, watching her backside shake as she shimmies her dress back on, this time without any underwear underneath. How can someone be both adorable and sexy as hell at the same time?

  When Grace is finished getting dressed, she turns to me and says, “Thank you for my first kiss.” Her first fucking kiss. That was the best kiss of my entire life. “Do you think my lips are ready for the big screen?” A smirk tugs at the corner of her lips.

  Shit, I think she could have a career in a whole other kind of movie-making. The way she cried my name is going to haunt me for the rest of my life. I have to have her again.

  “I think you’re ready for the kiss scene, for sure. But the sex scene…” I shake my head, feigning disapproval. She raises an eyebrow sassily. “I’m just saying, I think we might need another rehearsal.”

  Grace steps forward and gives me a playful slap on the shoulder. Then she pulls me into another slow, sensual kiss (she’s a fucking natural) and runs her hand down, cupping my still erect crotch. Jesus Christ, I can’t go on screen like this. She’s ruined me. I just lit the fire for Grace’s Veronica, and now I’m trying to remember how to breathe, let alone act suave.

  Grace pulls apart from me, a confident, sexy goddess in charge of her sexuality now. “Well, we have until next week to get our act together.” She says coyly. “And I fully expect you to show the same amount of dedication to this film as I do. Which means we’ll need to go over the sex scene until we get it absolutely right.”

  “Yes ma’am,” I say, already distracted by those lips. I can’t fucking wait.

  “Until then, let’s ace this damn kiss scene.” Grace heads to the mirror, fixes her hair, and somehow neatens up her makeup like nothing ever happened. Then she saunters past me and out of the dressing room, leaving my head reeling with horny thoughts. Now everyone’s gonna be looking for me, ‘cuz there’s no way I can get my act together now. Not with my body still tingling from Grace’s touch. That was some first kiss.

  I reluctantly readjust my shirt, tuck it back in, and notice the black chord running into my pocket.

  Oh shit.

  I pull my shirt off, revealing a lavalier mic taped to my chest, the chord running to the remote battery pack in my pocket. Then I notice the tiny green light signaling that it’s been on this whole time.

  Holy fuck.

  I rush to the window and look out at the crew. They’re all huddled together near the sound team, who have their headphones held up so everyone can hear. They were fucking listening the whole time?! Jesus Christ!

  Grace walks out onto the green, and they scramble apart, getting into their filming positions on set, hiding snickers. I scrub my hand over my face. Grace has no idea. Thank God. Otherwise, I’d feel even worse than I do right now. Sweat forms under my arms, and my heart begins to race. Get it together, Gavin. They don’t know you know. Just act natural.

  But just as that thought crosses my mind, I can’t help but laugh. Act normal? After that rehearsal, I don’t know what normal is anymore. I need a refresher in the basics of my own craft. Or at least a splash of ice-cold water.

  I run the faucet and rub my face with the sink water. It takes a moment, but I finally cool down. Gracie has no idea what she’s done to me.

  I glance out the window, and there she is prepping amongst the crew. She spots me in the window and grins, beckoning me down with a mischievous glint in her eye.

  With my heart beating way too fast, I head to rejoin the cast and crew, trying to convince myself the whole lavalier fiasco never happened. But you know what? Who cares if everyone heard us? It means they’ll be expecting a killer scene from Grace and me. And I love a good challenge. Hell, a role hasn’t challenged me in a while, and neither has a woman for that matter. A grin tugs at the corner of my mouth, and excitement builds in my core once again at the prospect of working with Grace. That woman has broken me down completely, and just the thought of her is building me back up again.

  This is going to be one hot set.
