Meet Cute Elise Faber (ebooks children's books free .TXT) 📖

shit when he gently tugged my ponytail out from underneath the collar of my jacket when I slipped it on.

Between the table and front door, I considered my options.

At the front door, I made a decision.

I took his hand and pulled him over to my car.

Smiling to myself, I reached into my purse for my keys then promptly dropped them to the ground.

Ugh.

I bent—

“I know that ass.”

A gasp of outrage on my lips, I straightened and whipped around, ready to tell off the arrogant bastard who’d dared—

Damon Garcia.

Photographer extraordinaire and—

He grinned.

Man who still wanted to get into my pants.

Now, I wasn’t a prude. I slept around enough to have been called a whore by more than one publication. It wasn’t like my activities between the sheets were more than most men in Hollywood, but because I was a woman, it was noticed and frowned upon.

I just couldn’t bring myself to care.

I practiced consensual, safe sex.

If we both were attracted to each other and it was safe, then I didn’t hesitate to go for what I wanted.

Maybe that made me a whore.

Maybe I didn’t care what other people thought about me.

But Damon?

Damon, I didn’t sleep with.

Damon, I didn’t fuck or kiss or touch.

Because I knew if I allowed myself a taste, I would never have enough.

I was frozen in place when he bent in front of me and picked up my keys, extending them toward me. That was when I made my first mistake. My fingers brushed his as I took them back. Heat exploded up my arm, my stomach went tingly, and my voice was breathy as I asked, “What are you doing here?”

“I live here now. Well, not the hospital—I’m visiting a friend—but here in town.” He smiled, and that paired with the news of him being in L.A. hit me hard upside the head. So hard, it knocked my common sense loose and allowed me to make my second mistake.

Because I didn’t run after I’d said, “Oh, that’s great.”

My third came when he asked, “Want to grab a drink tonight and catch up?”

To which I said, “Yes,” instead of “Absolutely not.”

My fourth?

Well, my fourth came when I finally gave in to the draw that was Damon Garcia and woke up naked in my bed beside him.

And then he wouldn’t leave.

End Scene

Love, Camera, Action #4

My cell vibrated just as the minister declared, “You may now kiss the bride.”

Slipping out of my chair as Eden and Damon locked lips, but before they vacated the altar, I sprinted down the aisle and toward a tree, hustling behind it.

Only five people were currently not on Do Not Disturb.

Eden—who was currently otherwise occupied.

Three additional equally important clients. All of whom were either in attendance—and Pierce and Artie were not likely to be on the phone as they watched the bride and groom get hitched—or on the opposite side of the globe—and Talbot was probably sleeping.

The last was my father.

Who never called unless something was on fire, someone was bleeding out, or an asteroid was heading toward the planet.

I glanced at the screen, not realizing how much I’d been hoping it was Talbot with some earth-shattering crisis until I saw “Dad calling” flashing across the surface. “Shit,” I muttered, swiping a finger and bringing it up to my ear. “Hi, Dad. Everything okay?”

“It’s not Dad.”

Hot then cold. Goose bumps on my arms. The past shoving its way firmly into my present because his voice was ice, and it broke my heart.

Aaron.

My ex Aaron.

My ex because I’d left.
