“I want to do a few run-throughs of the laser choreography so I can get a feel for which camera angles will work best, but it shouldn’t take too long. Since I don’t have Ainsley scheduled for any other scenes, she’s all yours for the rest of the day.”
“All mine,” Rem echoes, his full lips tilting up in satisfaction. It sounds so different than the way Jackie said it, with an undertone of sexuality that sends a shiver down my spine.
“Do you need me to adjust Cannon’s schedule to give you more time with Ainsley?” Jackie asks.
“No.” Rem shakes his head. “We should be wrapping up the laser scene when he gets here. Ainsley can try on the new costume and grab a snack while I run through the changes to our choreography. They’re relatively minor, so it shouldn’t take long. Then I’ll focus on her stunts for the rest of the day.”
Jackie’s attention shifts back to me. “How does that sound to you?”
I couldn’t tell her that the studio might’ve saved some money if they’d shown me a picture of Rem before I signed on for the project. Working with him is a perk I’m looking forward to. Instead of making a fool of myself by blurting all that out, I keep it professional as I nod and answer, “Like we’ve got a great plan.”
“Excellent. I like when things come together so nicely.” She beams a smile at both of us before heading over to her chair. I notice there’s one next to her for Rem, but he doesn’t follow. As I move to the start of the laser maze, he sticks close to me. I can practically feel his eyes on me while I reach up and stretch my arms. Once they’re loose again—I’d already done a full warm-up routine before coming on set—I bend over and touch my toes. My heart races when I hear a masculine groan rumble up Rem’s chest. I’m deeply aware of him watching as I finish my stretches.
My years of training in the aerial arts pay off as I move through the choreography Jackie had me memorize earlier. With my core strength, upper body strength, and flexibility, it is more of a continuation of my warm-up routine than a challenge. This is a good thing because if it had been more difficult, I might’ve had issues since I can feel Rem’s gaze on me the whole time. When I make it through the maze and back again without triggering the alarm the first time through, he’s the first person I look towards.
His focus is wholly centered on me, as though we’re the only two people on set. His hands are tucked in the pockets of his track pants, pulling the material tight across his crotch. His hard length is pressing against it, and feminine triumph surges through my veins knowing I’m the one who put it there.
“On this next run-through, how about you toss the choreography out the window and show off your skills a little bit so Rem gets a better idea of what you can do?” Jackie suggests.
“You betcha!” I agree with a grin. I appreciate the opportunity to impress the sexy Stunt Coordinator. I bend, twist, and leap my way through the red laser beams. The set is completely silent when I’m done. All eyes are on me, so I’m the only one who sees the moment Rem’s control breaks.
Chapter 3
Remington
That was hands down, the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I think I’ve got a new addiction, and I briefly wonder if I should call my sponsor. But I decide I don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks. Even if I did, I doubt there is a program out there that could diminish my new obsession with Ainsley Carruthers.
“Ainsley, let’s go,” I grunt before spinning around and marching off set. I want Ainsley all to myself, and my dressing room isn’t far enough away. I head to the studio exit and stop, turning back to make sure she followed me. When she’s a few steps away, I open the door and hold it for her as she steps out. Once we’re outside, I take her hand and lead her across the lot to my trailer.
She’s looking up at me with wide green eyes, and I can tell she’s not sure what to think. The irony is that I’ve never been so certain of anything. It’s abundantly clear to me that Ainsley is my future.
I’m afraid to scare her, but after watching her performance, I’m afraid that if I don’t kiss her right now, I’ll burst into flames. Opening the door to my trailer, I gaze at her hungrily as I let go of her hand and gesture for her to enter. She doesn’t hesitate, and that puts a huge smile on my face as I follow right behind her.
