To Love Jason Thorn (Page 81)

I was smiling when I murmured, “I’m trying to do my best, but I keep falling short apparently. Maybe you should take matters into your own hands.”

“Everyone lock it down!” Tanner gave his last warning and the set fell silent.

“What now?” Olive whispered. She was having a hard time standing still.

“Now,” I said, framing her face with my hands so the camera couldn’t pick up the small differences between my Olive and Lindsay.

“The curtain!” Tanner yelled; seconds later cold fake rain started to soak into our skin, making Olive squeal loudly.

“Jason! I’m going to kill you!”

Not letting go of her face, I smiled into her eyes.

“You’re turning out to be quite the murderer, baby. I thought a pluviophile like you would appreciate this. It’s a small change to your book, but I thought…”

“It’s perfect,” she said, tilting her head back and laughing. “They are pretty much hosing us down with water, but I’ll take it. Are you really mine?” she asked when she had hair plastered all over her face.

“Action!”

“I am, sweetheart,” I whispered against her lips as my chest tightened. “I love you so much, Evie,” I said, knowing Tanner would pick up our words and use them when he was piecing everything together.

Fake rain pouring down on us, I kissed her softly and slowly, countless times. At one point, Tanner switched cameras, but there was no one that could pull Olive away from me. She was mine. I wouldn’t let anyone take her away, not evil little bees and certainly not Adam Connor.

Every time we came up for a breath, I whispered her how much I loved her and how much I wanted to get into her pants when we got home. As soon as she was smiling, I would kiss her tenderly, drinking in her happiness.

When her body started shaking against mine, I hugged her tighter to myself.

“I kept my promise to you,” I said, kissing the edges of her mouth as she took deep breaths. The world faded away and it was just the two of standing in the middle of a fake road. “I told you that I would never forget you Olive Thorn, and it looks like my heart never did, sweetheart,” I tugged a piece of her hair, the familiar gesture making her lips wobble. “My world is a less scary place with you in it, baby. I will kiss you a thousand times every day if that’s what it takes to keep you in love with me for the rest of our days.”

Her tears mixed in with the rain, but she was still smiling up at me when she said, “You stole my little heart with just one dimple, you sneaky little thief. I never managed to fall out of love with you after that. I don’t think I know how to.”

“I never want you to learn. I’ll give you as many orgasms as you want along with the kisses.”

I kissed her.

“Why do I feel like you are trying to sell yourself to me? I might consider taking you if you promise you’ll do me in the screening room at your house. Maybe we can do it while we are watching something? Or listening? And I want to do it in the pool at least twice. Then I want do it in Devlin’s club, in one of those private rooms. And   maybe we can—”

I kissed her again. “I see you’re gonna work me like a slave. You know that they are recording us, don’t you?”

Her eyes widened in shock and I heard a few chuckles coming from the crew members.

“Kill me. Someone strike me with fake lightning, anything, please. It will look perfect for the movie. The author died while filming the last scene. Think about the box office numbers or whatever the hell…”

I chuckled and went for her lips again as Tanner changed angles and told us to keep going.

Leaning into her ear, I whispered, “I will fuck you anywhere and any time you want, Olive. Crook your little finger at me, and I’ll take you in a heartbeat, baby.”

“Jason, give me another kiss and we’ll wrap this up. Hold her face in your hands and go for it,” Tanner’s voice echoed to us.

“These lips?” I touched her lower lip with my thumb. “I never want you to feel someone else’s lips against what’s mine. I am it for you, Olive, the one, the right one—whatever you want to call it, I’m that.”

“Action!”

I kissed her some more, taking my time and tilting her head in my hands, sinking deeper into her until I didn’t know if it was her breathing life into me or if it was me being greedy and taking everything she was giving me so freely.

When I was done kissing her, I knew my hands weren’t shaking because of the cold.

“I love you, little one,” I whispered, out of breath at last.

“Surprisingly, you’ve been the best kind of heartache, Jason Thorn.” She smiled against my greedy lips and everything was perfect in a way it had never been before.

“That’s a wrap, folks!”

The End.
