Chapter 5
Jules
I don't take Roy's words lightly. No man acts as baby crazy as him without being sincere. The thought of his child growing inside my womb has me glowing as I help the crew wrap up for the night, after a scene that was just shot in a house the production company rented for Real Kill. Daven notices.
âJules, you look different,â he says, following me as I turn off lamps. âAlthough I canât put my finger on how, itâs a good different. I wish I didnât have to cut that scene you were supposed to be in. You would have looked great on film today.â
âThanks,â I say, not looking at him.
I donât want to encourage any flirting. Everything is done for tonight, so I donât have to worry about putting him in a bad mood that could slow things down.
âSome of us are meeting in my hotelâs bar for drinks, at ten. Iâd like you to come.â
Whoa. This is escalating quickly. âSounds fun, but Iâm not old enough to drink at a bar.â
âOh, pity.â He touches my shoulder and I freeze. âMaybe you could just come to my room for a drink then.â
âMaybe you should step the hell away from her.â
Roy comes out of nowhere and doesnât give Daven time to take the suggestion. He takes the manâs ringed fingers off me, then wraps one of his big, powerful arms around my shoulders.
Daven gives me a look Iâve never seen from him before. It radiates anger at me, before the full force of it is put on Roy. âI didnât realize she was...â
âTaken?â Roy supplies. âShe is.â
âGood to know,â Daven says with a curt nod. âIâll keep my hands off then.â
The way he stomps off lets me know Iâve lost the opportunity to get a bit part in Real Kill, and I honestly couldnât care less. Iâd rather be Royâs baby girl. Iâll never let anything come between us. Our love is very new, but it feels as strong as a bond that was formed years ago. One touch from him makes me feel like everything is right in the world, and like my own little corner of it is unbreakable with Roy in it.
âI appreciate you coming to my rescue,â I say, kissing his cheek, âbut you probably shouldn't be that aggressive with him. Couldnât he fire you?â
âIâd like to see him try,â Roy says, rolling his shoulders. âLee and I have an air-tight contractâand speaking of Lee, heâs dying to meet you.â
Iâd be lying if I said I wasnât nervous, but I push those nerves down and tell him, âThen let's make it happen.â
We go to my place first so I can change into a dress and make sure Iâm looking my best, and Iâm anxious the whole time. Iâm worried his cousin wonât accept me, and will assume Iâm a gold digger, since I jumped into this relationship so fast, but when we leave and go to their hotel, Lee greets me in the first-floor restaurant with a warm smile.
