help you fight them. I’ve got some too. We’ll do this together.”
Reece nodded, a little fast and a little stiffly. “Yes. Thanks.”
“Don’t say thanks. It’s my job.”
Reece laughed at the repeat of the words he’d heard when he was coming down from his high. “The decorator and the gardener, eh? Who’d have thought?”
“The newest porn stars on the block.” Cade nodded at the screen. “Look. Here we go.”
Reece pulled in a deep breath and on screen saw himself walk into a darkened room. It was a bedroom filled with solid wooden furniture and there was a bright light spilling from a doorway beyond a bed covered in black sheets and red rose petals.
“Opening scene,” Cade said.
“Mmm.”
Reece looked good, smart, and his head was held high. The clothes Donna had put him in to play a lawyer fresh from the courts fitted him perfectly and their quality was obvious.
“Timothy, is that you?”
“Turn it up,” Cade said.
“Yep.” Reece pressed the volume button on the remote.
“Yeah, and I’m so sorry I’m late, Jenson .”
His own voice was louder but it sounded a bit weird. He wasn’t used to listening to himself.
“The jury took ages deliberating and the trial went on forever but it’s done now and another win in the bag.”
“That’s great news.”
Cade appeared on screen, the backlight of the bathroom spread around him and making him look like some bad boy angel—the way Reece had known it would when they’d filmed this first bit.
“ Yes. I’m glad it’s over and a whole week off now to look forward to.”
Cade walked toward Reece’s on screen self.
“You look so fucking hot,” Reece said, squeezing Cade’s hand. “No wonder I couldn’t resist fucking you.”
Cade laughed. “Yeah, off script there but it worked. Or at least it did at the time. Let’s see now, shall we?”
“Oh, it will.” Reece grinned. He was enjoying himself already. A pleasant warmth was collecting in his groin and the welts on his arse were tingling.
On screen Cade smiled, touched Reece’s shoulder a little and pressed. Reece turned and his profile came into view on the camera. He’d been standing at the wrong angle but Cade had corrected his position.
“Just as well you had an idea what you were doing,” Reece huffed.
“I’m only a movie ahead of you.”
“I suppose.”
“Yes, a whole week off to relax and be together. Starting with tonight.”
Reece watched as his image reached up and cupped Cade’s cheek, the one that was on the opposite side to the way the shot was being taken.
“Happy Valentine’s Day .”
He saw himself lean in and kiss Cade.
“Fuck, we look so into each other,” Cade said.
“We are.” Reece took a mouthful of his beer and acknowledged his rapidly growing erection. “I think I might need to fuck while we watch this.”
“Damn, you’re insatiable,” Cade said with a laugh.
“Are you complaining?”
“No. I’m the happiest man on the planet.”
Reece let his smile slide. “Really?”
Cade nodded, his face also suddenly serious. “Yes, really.”
Reece moved across and grabbed him by the shoulders. He pressed his lips to Cade’s and kissed him hard.
“I’ve made us a bedroom picnic .”
“We’re going to have a living room picnic,” Reece murmured against Cade’s lips. “And I want you for dessert.”
“You’ve got me. Whatever course you want me for. Starter, main or dessert.”
“Mmm…” Reece ran his hand down Cade’s chest. “Well I’ve already had starter.”
“Hang on.” Cade pulled away. “I have you something else for you.”
“What?”
“Another present.”
“You can’t keep getting me presents.” Reece tugged his arm. “Besides, I only want you.”
Cade laughed. “Yeah, but I promised you this already.”
“You did?”
Cade dipped into his bag and pulled out a package wrapped in a brown paper bag.
“What’s that?” Reece asked, frowning.
“A toy you said you really wanted to
