I was hard.

Like… really hard.

And now?Now I was under him.

Nico had shifted, pushing me back onto the couch, settling between my thighs as he ground against me in a way that left absolutely nothing to the imagination.

Our hips moved in sync, his cock hard against mine, grinding slow and filthy as we kissed like we’d been doing this for years.

“Cut!”Laura’s voice snapped through the air like a gunshot.

We froze.

Nico pulled back, breathing hard, his forehead practically resting against mine for a beat too long before he pushed off and sat back like none of it had affected him.

I was left sprawled out, dazed, lips swollen, heart racing, and… still painfully hard.

Laura turned to Moira.“Well?Thoughts?”

Moira was fanning herself with both hands like she was seconds from passing out.“That was one of the hottest things I’ve ever witnessed.Jesus Christ.They’re like… porn soulmates.”

Laura smirked and crossed her arms.“Our work here is done.Jack and Liam can review the footage over the weekend and make the call.”She turned toward the door and left.

Moira hustled over to me, digging her phone out of her pocket.“Blake, baby, you’re gonna be a star,” she gushed.“But first, you’ve gotta pay a visit to Lola.”

I blinked.“Lola?”

Moira nodded dramatically.“Hair removal.Facials.Not the fun kind.Other assorted tortures in the name of beauty.”

Before I could process that horror, she was already gone.

Which left… me.

And Nico.

Alone.

The air between us suddenly felt ten degrees warmer.

Nico stood, grabbing his clothes and tugging on his jeans with casual ease.“Sorry, dude.”

Panic bloomed in my chest.“Wait… did I do something wrong?”

Nico paused, giving me a curious look before shaking his head.“Nah.You did everything right.Like… everything.”

I sat there, still in my underwear and fully confused, as he pulled on his shirt.

“I’m just sorry you have to go see our resident sadist.”

“Sadist?”

Nico laughed, low and throaty.“Lola.Queen of Wax.Ripper of souls, destroyer of hopes, dreams, and body hair.”

I winced.“That bad?”

“You’ll survive,” Nico said with a wink, heading toward the door.“Probably.”

He paused before leaving, turning back with that signature grin.“For what it’s worth?You nailed your audition.Can’t wait to work with you for real.”
