“Veera Deseur had a vaginoplasty,” he said.
I choked on my drink. “What?”
“She was talking to her plastic surgeon and like the snob she is, ignored the fact there were all kinds of tech people roaming the set. She didn’t close the door and I walked by.”
“Oh my God,why. We don’t even film those.”
“Apparently to go with her asshole bleach she has done regularly.”
“Excuse me? Her what?” My eyes were ready to pop out of my head.
“How are you Nelson Powers and don’t know about this trend?” His words were overflowing with mirth, and his eyes sparkled with mischief.
“Because I don’t often consider that my asshole needs a bleaching? I mean…it’s a butthole. Who is seeing that?”
“Me, hopefully.”
He went instantly, completely, and shockingly red while I tried not to choke on the air I was breathing. He covered his eyes with his hand and pulled the other out from under mine.
“I’m sorry. I’ll go—”
Quickly, I grabbed his hand again. “No. Stay. That was clever and unexpected.” I glanced into his shining eyes. “And honest.”
Jace sucked in a tiny breath and immediately started worrying his bottom lip with his teeth. “I’m sorry. Sometimes my—”
“I’m not sorry.” Holding on to his hand, I stood and pulled him away from the table. I led him to the little hallway I’d spied on the way up and backed him against the wall there. “I’m not sorry. Not at all.” I put one hand next to his head, sniffed his hair. He was fresh and clean, and he made my mouth water.
“Nelson—”
I pressed a soft kiss to the side of his neck, and he tipped his head to give me more room while letting out a quiet, tempting moan.
“This might not be the most conventional segue, but I hope to God you’re feeling what I am.” My words were barely a whisper against his skin.
“Y-yes,” he stammered as I licked his soft, sweet skin. “Why out of view if you’re not hiding?”
“I’m not hiding from friends and family, people I trust. I didn’t want to kiss you in front of that big window with all paparazzi aiming their cameras at us.”
“K-kiss me?”
“Yes.” I took his chin in my hand and turned him so I had full access to his lips. “Kiss you, Jace.”
