“No,” I said right away. “Absolutely not.”

She pouted. “Why not?”

“Well, it’s mostly in French. You don’t know French, Care.”

“I can learn though. Do you know French?” she asked her father.

He hesitated long enough I fully expected him to toss me under the bus. Even if that meant he’d be tossing himself by having to sit by while his minor daughter watched a sex movie with her own mother.

I couldn’t even begin to guess what sort of therapy that would require her to have. And why hadn’t I considered that before I’d agreed to take the job? No matter how much money it had allowed me to send home to Lacey and Amerie.

Clearly, I hadn’t been thinking.

Sex movies were for people who didn’t have children or else they had to be really young.

You knew it was your last chance while your tits were still where they should be. More or less. Damn vanity.

“Nope, sorry, kiddo. Your dad skipped all his language classes in high school.”

I raised my eyebrows. He absolutely had not skipped them. French had actually been one of his best subjects.

And I could remember quite well all the sexy French endearments he’d whispered to me at intimate moments. Andnotintimate moments for the sole purpose of making me blush.

Like I was doing right now just from the mere memory.

“Aww, man, bummer.” Carrington slumped back into her seat. Then she seemed to realize where she was and slid across the seat to haul open the back door. “C’mon, people, time’s a wasting.”

I undid my belt with my free hand and started to open the door.

“I want to watch that movie,” he said in a low voice. “Is it available to stream?”

“I don’t know. I’ll get back to you.”

“You do so know. I’m in the business, remember?”

God, my skin was going to flay off my cheeks from sheer embarrassment. “I didn’t really pay attention?—”

“Bridget.”

I ducked my head. “Really? Are you going to make this into a thing?”

“I wasn’t, but now I damn well am. Were you naked or what?”

“Not naked,” I answered hastily.Close enough.

Why I hadn’t had any issue with getting naked with Travis on camera. Also, it wasTravis.

“Then what’s the problem?”

“I’m no actress.”

“Let me be the judge of that, since you must be damn good if you won the part.”

“Not that many people tried out?—”

“Brig, stop running yourself down. Okay? I don’t like it, and if it’s just that you don’t want me to watch your movie, then I won’t. Subject closed.”

“It’s not that I don’t want you to watch it. Just it was kinda hot.”
