Chapter Seven

As soon as we stepped out from behind the tent, the clamor began. Several photographers and one video camera focused their lenses on us. They hadn’t been there a few minutes ago, and hmm, they were within the security perimeter, although being held at bay by a large beefy guy and a smaller woman whose glare would cow anyone. I could smell a set-up a mile away, and the perfect example was before me. Who had orchestrated this? Lisette? The publicity people? My agent? Some combination of all of the above?

In a flash, I was certain what I needed to do. I grabbed Thomas’s hand and shielded him with my body as we got into the waiting SUV. He didn’t need my protection, of course, but it’d give off the signal they couldn’t walk all over me. That I protected what was mine.

And apparently Thomas was mine.

At least for the foreseeable future.

I still hadn’t figured out how I felt about this. The discussion had lasted all of ten minutes, and his central concern had been sex. Man, his honesty slayed me. He might not be a virgin, but he damn well acted like one. But I didn’t believe he was performing. Nothing to gain by claiming he had no former romantic partners if there were a closet full of them. The paparazzi were relentless. If something existed in his past, they’d dig it up. Did he really know what he’d signed up for?

“Thank you.” I angled myself toward him. His face was chalk white. Whoops, we still held hands. I let go reluctantly. He immediately secured his seatbelt, and I did the same. Safety-conscious to the last.

I glanced out the rear window, and two SUVs were behind us, likely from the studio. Didn’t look like we were being followed. For now. Wouldn’t take a detective’s license to figure out we were headed to the sound stage. The security would keep out the riffraff, but that didn’t mean a few stragglers wouldn’t wait around, hoping to get the money shot. Well, so much for being low-key.

Thomas gazed out the window as we headed across the Lion’s Gate Bridge toward the North Shore and the studio.

Lines, we were supposed to be running lines. I tugged my script out of my bag, belatedly realizing I didn’t know which scene we’d be shooting. There were several to choose from. I assumed it’d be one with Cole, so that cut down the possibilities. I had most of the lines memorized already, but another go at it wouldn’t hurt. Flipping to the first scene, I noted it was a sex scene. Okay, maybe the next one? Lounging in bed. The third? Great, an all-out brawl. We hadn’t worked with Donovan yet on the stunt choreography, so that was out.

Tucking the script back into my bag, I sighed. I’d find out once we got to the studio and could run lines while in makeup. My phone buzzed with an incoming text. Easily the fiftieth, and I
