If nothing else, it’s exactly what we agreed we wouldnotdo.
But with her, my willpower is trash. I’m not sure why I bothered trying when everything with her feels completely inevitable. Like it’s meant to be.
We’remeant to be.
Still kneeling, I reach for her jeans as she sits up.
“Sorry,” I mutter, slipping her ankles into her pants.
She laughs. “No, you’re not.”
I grin now, staring at her legs as I attempt to get her dressed again. When I finally peek up at her face, she looks… lighter somehow.Happy.And that makes breaking all my rules worth it.
“No, I’m not,” I finally confess with a wink.
“That was—”
“Hot as hell and also dangerous as fuck.” I glance over my shoulder, hoping against hope that no one heard us or is figuring out that we’re locked in here together. “I have to get back.” Regret tinges my voice as I turn my attention to her.
She stares at me with a soft smile on her lips. She’s fucking perfect. Too perfect for me. Too good to be true.
But I don’t tell her that. I just push up and kiss her, taking her mouth with a gentleness that doesn’t match the way I just took the rest of her.
“See you out there,” I say, drawing away even though I don’t want to.
It’s only when I’ve reached the door that she hisses, “Wait!”
When I turn, she’s looking around herself, searching for something. “My panties are missing.”
“No, they’re not.” I reach back, removing them from my pocket with one quick tug.
They dangle from my pointer finger.
Her eyes widen. “Give them back.”
“No chance. These are mine now. Let’s call them a souvenir.” Her jaw drops open as I toss her a cocky wink and push them into my jeans.
“You can’t just—”
“What? Go out there and continue recording with your underwear in my pocket? Watch me.”
I don’t give her a chance to respond. I just turn and walk back to the set, only thinking about the fact that she wants a repeat performance.
Hands slung casually in my pockets, panties pinched between my fingers, I announce to the cast and crew, “Sorry, looked everywhere and couldn’t find any spurs.”
