Chapter 55
1443words
“Are you serious?” I glance to my side at Trevor. His face is emotionless.
A crease forms along my forehead as I turn back towards my phone on the kitchen counter. “You got us a job in another drama already, and they also want us to be a couple in the series.” My words come out more like a question than a statement.
Can this be true?
Jane didn’t know whether she could find another project that wanted to keep us together as a couple. If not, she was still going to look for jobs, but different ones for each of us.
I’ve finally got Trevor as my boyfriend in real life, and I’m not willing to give him up that quick. If he gets a job in another drama and he needs to be paired up with someone else for it, I will accept it. I may not like it, but I don’t want him to give up a good opportunity because I can’t handle him kissing and acting like a boyfriend to someone else for his job.
It is only a job.
The same goes for me. I’m sure Trevor will be able to accept it if I get a new acting job where I’m paired up with someone else and have to kiss or have a bed scene with them.
My stomach twists, and a sour taste fills my mouth.
I don’t want to have any intimate scenes in a drama with anyone other than Trevor.
Jane’s cheery voice flows from the phone. “Yes! The fans are loving you two together as seen in the drama’s ratings. Naturally, the other directors want in on the action and popularity, too. To be honest, I have received several phone calls from other people wanting the two of you in some upcoming series. I put off the ones which won’t start for several years. We don’t know if the drama will actually happen since they are looking for the actors so far ahead of the filming. I then rejected any of the dramas where you two weren’t paired up together. I don’t think it would be good for Trevor right now if your characters aren’t that close in the drama. That only left a handful of projects to pick from, but they were all eager to have you.”
I glance beside me at Trevor. He still has a blank, emotionless expression on, and I have no idea what he is thinking. “Aren’t you happy about us working together again?” My heart twists with my words. Please tell me he wants to work with me again.
His empty eyes look at me, but there is nothing in them. No happiness. No sadness. Just nothing.
My stomach sinks. Does he not want this?
I lightly pat his arm. “I thought this is what we wanted, for us to work together on another drama as a couple. Am I wrong?” Fear grips me. Please, don’t let me be wrong.
Hurt briefly flashes through his eyes.
He slowly shakes his head and mumbles, “No. I want to do another drama with you.” In a softer voice, he adds, “I didn’t think it would be so soon.”
I breathe a sigh of relief while my stomach twists at the same time.
Tentatively, I ask, “So, you didn’t want to take another job this soon?”
He slowly nods. “I don’t know if I’m ready.”
The uncertainty in his words slices right through me. If I could wave a magic wand and make this all go away, I would be frantically waving it right now. Then I would wave it again to make sure he is healed from all the trauma the crazy witch has caused him.
“Everything will be alright.” Jane’s voice is flat and monotone. She has lost her enthusiasm she had only moments ago.
I nod. “I have faith and agree. Everything will be alright. You just need to trust us. We won’t let anything happen to you. Plus, if you need some medicine, I’ll be right by your side. You can get as much as you want.”
Trevor’s eyes instantly come back to life.
A part of me wishes I could go back a few seconds ago and change what I have said, but I’m glad he is showing some kind of emotion, even if he is only being horny.
He eagerly asks, “As much medicine as I want and wherever I need it? Promise?”
My heart wants to answer and agree, but my mind is screaming for me to say no.
I swallow down the lump in my throat while warning bells go off in my head.
I stare into his warm brown eyes which sparkle with mischievous. He doesn’t bother to hide his true intentions. His face also glows, but I choose to ignore it and slide away from him.
Reluctantly, I nod. “Yeah.”
A smile dances across his face as he jumps towards me and snakes his muscular arm around my waist. “Yes!”
Before he can continue, Jane snaps, “Trevor, don’t you think of trying to eat Tiffany while you’re working. The company is paying you to act and do your job. They aren’t paying you to devour and eat your girlfriend alive in some random dark corner of the studio. I’m happy you are together, but you can’t allow your relationship to interfere with your work. You won’t have a job if you do that.”
Her harsh tone hammers and reinforces the line we aren’t to cross. Trevor and I have already crossed it with our last job, but she isn’t going to allow it going forward with any new job we might get.
In my mind, I can also imagine the stern look she is giving us on the other end of the phone and the finger she is shaking.
I slowly lean forward towards my phone and sheepishly reply, “Don’t worry. I won’t let him get carried away. I’m not as popular as he is and haven’t earned the top actor status like him. There is no way I would jeopardize it for us to run off to a dark spot and ravage each other. Maybe when I’m a big shot I can do that, but not now.”
Regardless, I don’t think I could bring myself to do it even after I’ve become a big name in the industry. I’m too cautious, and I don’t want to rock the boat. One wrong move and I would be back to where I started. A nobody.
I also don’t think I could risk my future financial security because of it. My sensible mind would make me stop before I risked everything.
Trevor kisses my shoulder and then hovers his luscious lips over my shoulder blade, while lightly tugging back my shirt collar. His warm breath cascades over my sensitive skin. With a soft whine, he says, “But I will need my medicine. You know it will be harmful to me if I don’t get it. It could also impact our filming schedule and the quality of the shots if you don’t give me some medicine.”
My heartbeat quickens, and I want to protest, but my body betrays me. It is bending to his wishes and needs his warmth.
I bite my lower lip while I try to break free of his hold.
But my attempts soon fail when he swiftly moves behind me and pins me against the counter. He cages me with his strong arms on either side of me. “You can’t get away from me. It is time for some medicine.”
His soft, but deep, alluring voice calls to me and sends a wave of pleasure pulsing through my body.
I bite down on my bottom lip a little harder, hoping to keep the moan bubbling around in my chest from escaping. My fingers wrap around the edge of the counter, while my core throbs and goosebumps explode across my body.
He gently kisses the back of my ear. “Sorry, Jane. It is time for another round of medicine. We will call back later when we are free.”
He doesn’t wait for a reply before he ends the call and pushes the phone and everything else on the counter away.
Gulp.
He rubs his growing bulge against my round butt, igniting a fire within me.
In his deep, husky voice, he chimes, “I think I need an extra dose of medicine today.”
His warm, moist lips nibble along my shoulder and up my neck.
I finally let go of my lower lip. Within seconds, the moan that had been rolling around in my chest finally escapes. “Ahhh… Trevor….”
