“What are you doing?”
“One off,” Cade said with a shrug. “Know where I’m at then.”
“And how much is the one off?” Reece asked.
“Ten thousand pounds plus all expenses.”
Reece jumped up. “What the fuck? Is this a joke?”
“No,” Cade said with a smile. “No joke.”
Tom stood and walked around the desk. “It’s big business, sex, and it pays well, Reece. Ten thousand is a lot for a first timer but I’m in rather a pickle so I’m happy to pay well to dig my way out of it.” He gestured down the length of Reece’s body. “And you fit the part perfectly.”
Chapter Eight
“I’ll do it.” The words fell from Reece’s mouth and as they did, his heart stuttered. Ten thousand fucking pounds. He’d be able to pay off his credit cards, sort out the van and take a holiday all from one week’s work. Shit a brick, that was awesome.
“You will?” Cade said, raising his eyebrows.
“Fuck yeah. Ten thousand quid to fuck you for a week. How can I say no? How can that be real?” Reece shoved his fingers through his hair.
Tom laughed. “It’s real all right.”
Cade stood and held out his hand to Reece. He tugged him up then pulled him into a hug. “You won’t regret it,” he whispered. “I promise.”
Reece wrapped his arms around Cade’s waist. “I hope not. I’m fucking terrified about being filmed shagging, but I’ll give it a go.”
“You’ll be the next big stars,” Tom said. “You and Cade clearly have chemistry, so just relax and have fun and you’ll hit the high life.” He groaned. “It’s when the two leads hate each other I really run into problems.”
“You won’t have that problem with us,” Cade said, skimming his lips over Reece’s.
“Good. Here are your scripts,” Tom said, pushing two pads of paper toward them on the desk. “Nothing complicated and I don’t mind a bit of ad lib. Just get your cocks out and shag like you mean it.”
Is there any other way to shag?
Reece untangled himself from Cade and took the script. He hadn’t held one since he’d been Joseph in the school Nativity play.
“Slippery Slots,” Cade said, reading the title of the film.
A voice in the back of Reece’s mind asked him again what the hell he was doing— Slippery Slots —but then he thought of his credit card bill and told that stupid voice to shut the hell up. He could do this. It was sex with Cade and he liked that. More than liked, he craved it.
“Okay…” he said. “Now what?” He looked at Tom.
“You go and learn your lines, loosen up, dress up and then we get to it. The set, sound and lighting crew are just finishing off the room.”
“The room?” Reece asked.
Tom placed his hands on his hips and a firmer look came over his face. “It starts now son—the filming. I’ve invested lots in this movie. It’s part of a Cities of the World series I’ve been winning industry awards for. There is much to be done.”
“Oh, well, okay.” Reece gripped the script a little tighter. They were starting now.
“Might as well jump in at the deep end,” Tom said with a twitch of a smile. “If you know what I mean.”
Reece raised his eyebrows. Did Tom know about their pool and hot tub liaisons? Their sunlounger shagging?
“Don’t worry about the decorating, someone else will finish and clear up. I want you to go and learn your lines,” Tom said with a wave. “Drink coffee, take Viagra, shave your chest hair, whatever you want. Go, and I’ll sort out your contracts and then call for you when we’re ready to roll.”
“Righto, boss,” Cade said, heading to the door. “Come on, Reece. I know I could do with a coffee before we start.”
Reece took one last look at Tom then followed Cade out of the office and across the hallway to the kitchen. His legs were a little floaty and his stomach felt hollow. It was like he was in a daydream or something.
“Have you done this before?” Reece asked as Cade filled the kettle.
“Yeah,
