Page 27 of A Dangerous Game
“No, there wouldn’t be. I just wanted to know. You’re a beautiful woman.”
I hate being told that. “Looks fade. What did you want to talk about, Caleb? I have to pick up my nieces.” Being told that I’m pretty has always made me uncomfortable. Stemming from when I was a little girl, my dad’s friends would always say what a looker I was and will be. Plus, my brother’s friends used to raid my room and steal my underwear.
At fifteen, I had developed into a Pin-Up body. My chest was perky and large with my waist indented. My ass had a little jiggle, but many people still liked it. I used to hate it when people would look at me as if I’m so object.
“God damn it, I’m doing this all wrong,” he mutters and then stands up. Before I could ask what the hell he was talking about, he came over to me and put his hands on my shoulders. “I never come off this strong and I’m sorry. I have never met anyone as beautiful as you and it’s fucking making me stupid. Forgive me?”
I nod and relish the weight of his hands. “What did you want to talk about?”
He lets me go and I shiver from the lack of heat from his hands. “Charlotte is trying to sue you for custody. Do you know anything about that?”
I jump out of my chair and pick up the folder. “Are you fucking kidding me? She had her chance to be a mother but she left when things got too tough! No! She’s not taking Jayla and Jenna from me! I won’t allow it!”
He calmly places his hand on my back and leads me towards the couch. Once we’re there, he sits down and I sit down next to him. Without even realizing it, he has me cuddled against his side. “I won’t let them take your nieces, angel. Don’t worry.”
Suddenly something became very clear. “Wait! You are her lawyer. You probably shouldn’t be talking to me. Isn’t that like breach of contract or something? Plus, why would you help me?”
CALEB
And that’s the real question. Why would I help Sinclair ?
With her cuddled up to my side, I run my hand down her arm and she shivers against me. “Because you seem like you are worth helping. Angel, I’m not representing her. As far as anyone knows, I’m not a part of this case at all. Do you have a lawyer?”
The hard part about this whole thing is the fact that she’s a porn star. No judge is going to grant custody to a woman who is in this industry and it sucks. I’m sure she’s a better parent to the girls than Charlotte.
She shrugs and begins to get up. My body is instantly missing the heat from hers. “Not one on retainer anymore. Are you offering your services?” Her question came out a little husky and my dick jumped to attention.
“I don’t know, it will cost you.” I cross my left ankle over my right knee and put a pillow over my dick to hide my erection.
Sinclair ’s sea green eyes light up with mischief. “And what will it cost me? You want one of my videos?” I could tell she is trying to gauge my reaction to her being in porn but I’m not going to do that. I don’t know her well enough to even touch that one.
“Uh, I’m thinking…”
Duke busts in the door and points at me: “Don’t ask my coworker out. She’s too good for your dumb ass.”
“Ouch, asshole!” I yell and wave my hand in the air. “Don’t you have someone else to insult?”
He comes into the room and wraps his arms around Sinclair . Once she’s secured, he picks her up and she wraps her legs around his waist. “See, you can’t compete with that,” he says with a cocky ass grin.
With that, I get up and walk out the door. I’m not competing with my best bro over something like this. I can’t and I won’t win. Especially since they have history together. Before I leave, I shimmy a card out of my wallet and slip it in the door crack.
SINCLAIR
What the hell just happened? Were these two seriously competing over me? I would like to say no, but I honestly don’t know. Duke’s dick is getting hard and I feel it nudge my clit. “What the fuck are you doing?” I holler and clamber out of his arms.
“Just getting ready for our shoot soon. Are you ready?”
Duke and I are in a scene together titled Sinclair Loves Mike Rock, which is his porn name. Luckily for me, my parents had picked a slutty name so I didn’t have to change it. Oh well.
“Oh, shit, that’s today, isn’t it? All right. Let’s go. I’m hoping we can get it done in one take.”
I need to pick up Jayla and Jenna from Angela’s in a couple of hours so we will have to be quick.
“Go and change into the nurse costume and I will meet you on set.”
Following orders, I walk the few feet into my own room and shrug off my robe. Once alone, I look at myself in the mirror and trace my fingers down the panes of my body. I didn’t realize what I was missing until Caleb’s eyes were on me and now I know.
I’m missing being someone to somebody. It’s weird because I know that so many men jerk off to my videos, but I miss being the only one to one person. It’s lonely at the top.
