Hold Me Down Hard Read Free Page B

she aligned her hips with his and pressed her sex against his groin. The movement was slight but from the tortured look on Jay’s face and the way his entire body stiffened, she knew he’d felt it.
    Looking like he was in sheer agony, Jay dropped the script onto the floor and planted his hands on either side of her head. His voice came out a little broken, a little labored when he shifted his stance and asked, “Uh, so this is where I kiss you?”
    She worked to find her voice. “Yeah,” was all she could manage to get out. Good God, she was down to one-word answers and if he didn’t do something soon she was going to explode into a million pieces.
    When she met his glance, sexual tension arced between them, and she was certain anyone within a fifty-mile radius could feel the tremendous heat they were creating inside his condo.
    Jay swiped his tongue over his bottom lip. “So I…uh…I guess I should kiss you now.”
    Her entire body quivered in heated anticipation, because this was the moment she’d been fantasizing about for so damn long now. She knew he was waiting for a reply but since words were beyond her, she nodded, and when he dipped his head, bringing them eye-to-eye, ripples of sensual pleasure danced along her skin.
    She poised, her mouth open, conveying without words what she wanted, but when he gave her a quick, jerky peck on her mouth, his lips barely scraping hers, a chaotic lump settled deep in her gut and she nearly sobbed from disappointment.
    Maybe he really just wasn’t interested.
    As she mulled that over, she listened to the pounding of his heart, and that’s when she noticed the way his breath was coming in quick, shallow bursts. He moved restlessly, and she took that moment to steal a downward glance. The second she spotted the huge bulge in his sexy work pants, hope surged inside her.
    Okay, so maybe he was interested, and maybe she was simply going about this all wrong.
    With her mind racing a million miles an hour, she pushed him away. Deciding to change tactics, she dropped down onto the sofa and with renewed purpose she said, “This isn’t working. I can’t quite capture the emotions in the role. My character is supposed to be in grave danger before getting rescued by her former lover, and I’m just not feeling it.”
    He almost looked relieved as he raked a shaky hand through his hair. “You want to call it a night?”
    Eden crinkled her nose and knew she had to shake things up. She had to get him out of his comfort zone and into a place where he’d forget they were running lines and give in to his urges.
    “Actually, I was thinking we could take it outside. You know, so we can recreate the scene in a dark alleyway, put ourselves in the situation, and really get into character.”
    He gave a quick shake of his head. “It’s almost midnight, and I don’t want you in a dark alleyway by yourself. The city streets are dangerous.”
    “I won’t be by myself. You’ll be there with me. And you’re not going to let anything happen to me, are you?”
    That earned her a scowl. “Do you even have to ask?”
    “No, I don’t. So I guess it’s settled then. Let’s take this show on the road, shall we, and see what we can come up with.”
    …
    Jay knew exactly what he could come up with. A rock hard erection, that’s what.
    Fuck.
    Even though he’d sworn he would never cross the line with her, the minute she’d pressed her soft, sensual body against his, his dick had hardened to the point of pain. And when she’d gyrated, aligning her hips with his, it had taken all his effort to keep his hard-on under wraps, a lthough he was beginning to believe he hadn’t quite accomplished that task. When she’d glanced between their bodies he was pretty damn sure she’d glimpsed his traitorous cock. How could she not, considering the insistent way it was pressing against his unforgiving work pants?
    Before he could tell her it wasn’t settled, she scooped up their scripts, tucked them
