someone – someone normal, someone her kind of normal, someone with a great voice, a way with words and a helluva sexy body.
    Dialling, she didn’t have to wait long for Jack to answer. An actor by trade, Jack Knight was exactly the type of guy she needed in her life. He was vain enoughto take care of himself, narcissistic enough to have his own life and confident enough to answer the phone for a little late night fun.
    ‘Ugh, yeah,’ Jack’s deep voice answered, groggy with sleep and yet still adorably masculine. She could just picture his messy, shoulder length brown hair tousled about his head, his full mouth partly open in heavy breath, his lids lowered over his eyes like she’d seen them so many times. When he woke up, it always took him a few moments to come to his senses. He’d blink several times, moan softly before his green eyes would clear and a cute little perfect dimple indented his left cheek. ‘What? Who’s there?’
    Kat had been silent as she waited for him to wake up. Her body stirred at the thought of him, at the memory of his bold touch. There was no love, not beyond that of a friend, but that is what made Jack so perfect for her. They didn’t have the mess of emotions between them. It was uncomplicated. It was as close to perfection as she imagined ever finding. They understood each other on an artistic level and could appreciate the fact that nothing would ever amount to the burning needs inside of them. Not just the flesh. Sex was merely an expression of their physical human natures. The burn inside them was the desire to be more than they were, the drive to make something perfect – a photograph, a scene, the one moment that would scorch the pages of history for all time. Art was their life but, more importantly, their life was their art.
    ‘Hey, baby,’ Kat purred into the phone, only to giggle. ‘I promised you a booty call this week.’
    ‘Hmm, hi booty, I was about to give up on you.’ Jack chuckled.
    ‘You alone, Mr Knight?’
    ‘You know I don’t see anyone but you.’ Jack groaned and she could hear the sound of the phone being jostled on his end.
    Kat rolled over on her back, turning towards the large mirror. Stretching out her body, she looked at the long line she made on the bed, seeing it as if the mirror was a frame and she a picture frozen forever. She often saw things as if they were photographs. Lifting her knee slightly, she dropped an arm over her head and posed in a more appealing way.
    ‘Love me too much?’ she asked. ‘No one else compares?’
    ‘No one else understands me like you do, princess. All the other women I meet want something I can’t give them.’ Jack laughed.
    ‘Your heart?’
    ‘My soul.’
    ‘You are a soulless bastard, aren’t you?’ she teased. Jack’s loyalty was perfect. Before they’d even started fucking, they’d gone to the clinic together to get tested. They were both clean and since they always used protection there was never a risk of children. Jack didn’t fuck around on her and he had no reason to lie to her if he did. He didn’t want to contract anything and Kat couldn’t say she blamed him. It didn’t make them exclusive, but it did make them picky. Their arrangement had been that way for nearly four years now.
    ‘Did you call to bust my balls, Kat? ‘Cause my new director is doing the busting just fine without you helping him out.’
    ‘No, baby, I called to listen to you play with them.’ Kat giggled.
    ‘Mmm.’ The sound was incredibly sexy. ‘Things not going well?’
    ‘Well enough. I might have a line on a job when I get back.’
    ‘Go all the way to Connecticut to get a job here? That’s pretty funny.’
    Kat didn’t even bother to correct his mistake. She had sisters if she needed someone to listen to her innermost thoughts and friends if she wanted to debate the currentstate of America’s affairs – not that she ever did. Jack she kept around for another reason altogether.
    ‘I don’t want to
