Chapter Seven

Jared had gone home sometime in the middle of the night, feeling both exhilarated and terrified. Sure, he could have a dozen willing souls a night if he chose to, but it had been a long time since he’d truly felt anything for anyone. Part of what terrified him was that he had no idea why he found himself attracted to August. The two of them had practically nothing in common. The other thing that terrified him was knowing there could be consequences for their careers. It wasn’t as if they weren’t free to date who they pleased but people talked, and it was different when one was an actor and one a director.

The next morning, when he arrived on set, not too early but not too late either, he tried very hard to make it look like he wasn’t actually looking for August. Had anyone been paying attention, they would have noticed that he was doing a horrible job. To his surprise, August wasn’t looking for him either but when the two of them did find each other, things went from strange to stranger. They had both decided to act like nothing had happened the night before, and the ensuing aftermath of that was like watching two people trying to talk to one another when they didn’t speak the same language.

“Morning,” Jared said, cheerfully, something he never was first thing in the morning.

August side-eyed him. “Yes, I’d noticed.”

Jared opened his mouth but wasn’t quite sure what to do with that. “Nice day for filming.”

“We’re going to be inside,” August pointed out.

“Well, yes, but...you know.” He could feel the tension coming off his director in waves and began to wonder if he’d made the right decision the night before...or any right decisions. Maybe he should have stayed, maybe they never should have had sex in the first place. All he knew was that the animosity was going to do them no good. He started to say something but then remembered that animosity was their default setting, so maybe it would be all right after all. Instead, he just gave August a smile and swaggered by him into the set.

August let out a breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding and watched as Jared walked through the front door. He didn’t return the smile, didn’t say anything, simply stood with his hands clasped so firmly behind his back that they were starting to lose feeling. And it didn’t help that watching the man swagger was starting to make things stir in his pants. He cleared his throat, willed his body to calm down, and then followed the super-star inside the building. Everyone else was still in makeup, something Jared had apparently elected to skip that morning. August sighed, and was about to tell him off about it, when he remembered the “accidents.” Whatever was going on between them, they still needed to investigate, and now was the perfect time.

“Jared!” he hissed, once again acting as if they were doing something untoward, and someone might overhear.
