“We’re good,” I tell her. And why? Why didn’t I simply say this man is a fraud and a stalker and totally, unbelievably obsessed?

Uh, because my brain is broken, and I no longer feel shocked by people?

“Perfect,” Susan replies. “Hayden, could you put your hand on her hip?”

This is fine. This is normal. Hayden’s big, veiny hand is on my hip.

Heat radiates from that spot up to my bare midsection.

“Scoot in closer; you’re spooning her, not sharing a bed with your sister,” Susan says.

Oh god.

The heat of his chest radiates all over my bare back. His breath skims over my hair, sending tingles down my neck.

“This good?” Hayden asks.

“Perfect,” Susan replies.

And there it is. Hayden’s erection is touching my lower back. And it’s as hard as fuck.

With the sheet over our midsections, I lie prone with one arm casually blocking the view of my nearly bare breasts. The urge to press back against that hard length fights with the thought that I should call this whole thing off.

My friend suggests, “Okay, let’s run the lines one time to see how this looks.”

Taking a deep breath, I look up at Hayden over my shoulder flirtatiously.

“This is it, baby. I’m ready for the next step in our relationship,” I say, picking up the anal toy prop and turning it over for the camera.

Hayden lets go of a low groan that is definitely not part of the script. It sounds so genuine that a tight ache stirs in my lower half.

“Are—are you sure? It can be a scary step,” he says, his face close to my neck.

I bat my lashes. “It’s only scary with a product that smells like chemicals and artificial ingredients. Violet Sin’s Roll-On Sex Lube is all-natural, non-toxic, and smells amazing.”

I produce the little roll-on tube and hold it up so it’s in the shot.

Here, I improvise by reaching back and touching the scruff of Hayden’s chin, adding, “That’s a huge turn-on for me.”

His pupils dilate. He matches my improvisation by sliding that big hand up the inside of my arm. “You make it sound so good, I need you to try it on me first,” Hayden says.

Going off script completely, Hayden sweeps aside my hair and kisses my collarbone.

I can’t contain the soft moan that bubbles up. He continues to drag his lips over my skin, and my eyes flutter closed.

Hayden’s thick fingers travel lightly over the tender flesh inside my upper arm.

“Mills, you forgot to say your line.”

Cursing, I switch back into character. I giggle softly, then sit up in the bed, taking the sheet with me. “Well what are you waiting for? Get down here, and let’s give it a try.”

Here, Hayden is supposed to give a look of comic surprise, but he stares like someone lost in the desert, thirsty and starving, ready to eat a rare steak with his bare hands.

And as for me, I’m worked up to the point of needing a cold shower.

I don’t know who kisses who first, but our lips meet before I can think to put a stop to this.

His full lips are soft and velvety against mine, and my body relaxes into the kiss. Hayden touches the tip of his tongue against my bottom lip, and I open to accept him into my mouth.
