“Hello, beautiful,” he said. “Can I interest you in a lift?”

“Depends.”

“On what?”

“Where are we going?”

“My place, where I’m going to spend the rest of the night fucking you.”

His offer was too tempting to resist. Without blinking an eye, she walked toward him, climbing into the passenger side.

“I expected a bit of a challenge,” he said, once he was inside the car.

“You’ve got no chance. My feet are killing me. The only other option I had was walking home,” she said, resting her head against the car seat.

“Maybe I should take you home,” he said.

“Don’t you dare! You promised me some hot sex.”

“What about your sister?” he asked.

She turned toward him and smiled. “Actually, Dawn called me this morning. She is having to leave the country with her boss. She won’t be back for a month. We’ve got no worries about being invaded by my evil sister, which I say with all the love in the world.”

Jason laughed. She loved hearing him laugh.

“Aren’t you worried about her?”

“Dawn? No, she can take care of herself. She has promised to call every week, and she will. I know Dawn. She can’t help but check in.”

“She sounds like an awesome sister.”

“She really is. Don’t get me wrong, she can be annoying as hell, but her heart is all in the right place.” Turning toward him, she saw Jason was looking straight ahead. “What about you? Do you have any family?”

“No, none. I’ve got Richard, and he’s like a brother to me.”

“The porn star?”

“There’s more to him than being a porn star. There’s a man inside him.”

“I didn’t say there wasn’t. I’m sorry if I offended you. It must be hard for him.”

“What do you mean?” he asked.

She smiled. “Well, it can’t always be fun performing for a camera. I imagine there’s a lot of men and women backstage, shouting at you, telling you what you need to do. Must be quite the turn off.” Since meeting Jason, and discovering what he did, she’d taken the time to really think about the adult industry. She hadn’t gone hunting for videos online, but she’d thought about it.

“No, it’s not always great performing for a camera. I mean, Richard has told me about it,” he said. “It can be hard having people watching, ordering you around.”

She reached over, touching his thigh, trying to offer him support. “You talk as if you’ve got some idea what it’s like.”

“I’ve seen how hard it is on Richard. He wants to leave the business but doesn’t actually know what the hell to do with his time.”

“He can be anything. The world is not closed off to him,” she said.

“I don’t know what he expects to do. Maybe he doesn’t know what to do with his time?”

She chuckled. “What would you do with your time, Jason?”

“I don’t know.”

“Does Richard want a family?”

“I don’t think he’d ever considered it until now.”

“Why? What has happened now?”

“Nothing. Nothing has happened now. No, I was just talking. Maybe he’ll meet a woman who’ll make him feel like more than a piece of meat. He’ll start to want things he could never have before.”

“Who are we talking about here?” she asked, confused. She was sure that he was talking about himself and not his friend.

“Forget it.”

The rest of the journey was in silence, but he held her hand throughout.

By the time they got to his studio apartment, she was happy to be out of the car. There were times when Jason talked she was sure he wasn’t talking about Richard, but his own personal experience.

Forget about it, Sydney. He’s not a porn star, and doesn’t have a clue what it’s like.

Jason closed and locked the door behind him. Turning toward him, Sydney froze as she watched him remove his shirt. His gaze was on hers the moment he dropped his shirt to the floor.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

“What does it look like I’m doing? I’m getting ready to fuck you like you want me to.”

Her pussy grew slick from his words.

“Tell me, baby, do you want me to fuck you?”

“Yes, I want you to.”

“Then get naked. I want you completely bare so I can sink my dick into your pussy.”

Sydney couldn’t do anything more than give him exactly what he wanted. She removed her clothes, rushing in her need to get naked for him.

The moment she kicked her panties away, Jason pressed her against the wall. There was no waiting as he slammed his lips down on hers, plunging his tongue into her mouth. He lifted her arms above her head, keeping them locked together, while he delved his other hand between her thighs.

She gasped, crying out, needing his touch more than she needed anything else.

“You’re so fucking wet for me, baby. I love how wet you are for me. Do you want my dick?”

“Yes.”

He kissed down to her breasts, sucking each of her nipples into his mouth. Jason fucked two fingers inside her pussy, pressing a thumb to her clit.

“I’m addicted to your pussy, Sydney. I’m addicted to you. I don’t want to ever give you up.”

“You don’t need to give me up. Please, Jason, don’t stop.”

“I can’t stop. I don’t want to stop.”

He took her down to the floor, and Sydney went with him, going to her knees.

“I’ve got to have you now.”

Sydney screamed in pleasure as he slammed the entire length of his cock inside her.

“So fucking tight, and perfect, and all mine.” He pulled out of her, only to slam all the way back inside.

Crying out, she felt his fingers digging into her hips, and the force of his thrusts shocked her to the core.

“Tell me you want me, Sydney.”

“I want you, Jason. I’ll always want you.” And it scared her a little. They barely knew each other, and yet she was falling for him. It was insane, crazy, but he called to her in ways no other man had ever done before.

He slammed inside her, over and over again, going to the hilt within her body.

Slipping her fingers between her thighs, she started to tease her clit.

“That’s it, baby. Come with me. Come all over my cock.”

She rested her head on her arm, which lay on the floor while she brought herself to the peak of orgasm. He pounded inside her, and when her orgasm hit, Jason held onto her hips tighter than ever before. She was going to be bruised from his touch, but she didn’t care. All she cared about was having his cock deep inside her.

He grunted out as she was coming all over his cock. They both screamed, crying out their need for each other. The sounds echoed off the walls.

When it was over, he kissed her back, pulling out of her.

“Shit, baby, I forgot to wear a condom.”

Spinning around on the floor, she smiled up at him. “I’m clean, and I’m on the pill.”

“I’m clean as well, baby, I promise.” He cupped her cheek, pressing a kiss to her lips.

Sydney didn’t doubt him. He’d never lied to her.

Chapter Six

“What’s going on?” Richard asked.

Jason sat at the diner across from the set that he’d gone to visit Richard. Sydney was working, and he needed to clear his mind. The lies were adding up, or at least they were to him. He was finding it harder not to tell her the truth. So many times it was on the tip of his tongue to tell her the truth.

“Why does there have to be anything wrong?” he asked, pouring some sugar into his coffee.

“You’re sitting at a diner instead of trying to find a reason to get on set.”

He wasn’t due on set until next week, and the thought of being there actually made him sick to his stomach. The thought of keeping up a relationship with Sydney was starting to wear thin.

“I’m not interested in getting to work any quicker.” Jason didn’t know what was happening to him. Actually, he did¸ and it was all built on lies and that alone terrified him. What the hell was he going to do?
