Chapter 4

I LOCKED MYSELF in the bathroom.

A mirror image of my hotel room, the space was completely untouched save for the body wash bottle left on the rim of the over bath shower.

Cas chuckled through the door. "If you’re running from me, you know you can’t hide—especially after saying ‘fuck me, Cas’."

Why do I let him speak to me like that?

And why do I secretly love it?

I panted, grateful for some space before I combusted. Every inch of me burned. "I’m not afraid of you," I whispered under my breath, staring at myself in the mirror. Oh, God. I looked like I’d been kissed within an inch of sanity—my expression was completely glazed with lust.

Saff, you look demented.

And wild.

Rubbing my hands over my face, I wished I still wore the makeup the movie producers had put on me. The fine micro minerals that made my cheekbones look like sculptured blades, the soft as silk foundation that made my skin glow like honey, and the pouty pink lipstick that made me look as if I’d been adored by some sexy prince.

I must’ve scrubbed up pretty well because the director couldn’t take his eyes off me. In his mid-thirties, Felix Carlton was said to be the next Spielberg, and the fact they’d been able to secure him for a romantic suspense was the best thing that could’ve happened for the production.

"You’re Saffron?" he’d asked, letting himself in, unannounced, to the changing room I shared with three other prospective actresses. We’d been shortlisted from the hundred or so interviews that morning.

I stood, dressed in the aquamarine ball gown my character wore in the final scene when her lover catches her cheating on him with one of her yoga client’s husbands.

Felix Carlton was one word…dashing. Straight from a Jane Austen period drama, he wore pleated grey trousers, a white shirt with no tie, and a shiny grey waistcoat. He even had a handkerchief peeking from his shirt pocket.

His dark hair was cut into a modern style with short back and sides with the strands longer on top to flop gallantly over his forehead. His face was kind, fierce, dominating, and understanding, all at once. And those eyes—the calculating brown that hadn’t missed a thing in every shot, that directed with effortless skill and intelligence.

"You were really good," he’d said, coasting to my side and looking me up and down. He’d completely ignored the other actresses. "I think you’d play a murderous Lucy Larson."

I’d kept my head straight, and heart full of business. "Thank you very much, Mr. Carlton. That means a lot."

He’d smiled, showing white perfect teeth and a dimple in his strong chin. "Please, I have a feeling we’ll be working a lot together. Call me Felix."

I jumped as Cas slammed a fist against the door. "Lace? You can’t hide in there all night. We now have a room full of sugar and alcohol, but I personally guarantee I’m not going to enjoy them nearly as much as I’m going to enjoy you."

I shook my head, shoving all thoughts of Felix Carlton from my mind.
