“Hello?”
“When did you plan to call?” Mom asked.
“Uhm.”
“I expect regular updates, or I’ll be on a plane so I can watch your every move,” she threatened.
Mom put me on speaker, and I caught my parents up. I found out that both Rita and Caryn had told them everything I’d done; they just wanted to talk to me. They caught me up on the goings-on at home. Peggy and Little David had moved into my apartment, and Duke was happy for the company.
I told them I missed them. Mom reminded me that we would all be at Devin and Cora’s wedding; it was being held in LA. Rita had offered to put my parents up.

During a break in filming, Zak Verwood, who played Jake Armstrong, invited me back to his trailer to talk. I noticed he had weed on the table, sitting beside a bong. He loaded a bowl and fired it up. After he exhaled a cloud of smoke, he offered it to me.
“No, thanks.”
“You sure? This is good shit,” Zak said.
“No, I’m good. I quit a couple of years ago.”
“That’s cool. You don’t mind if I have some, do you?”
“As long as you’re good to go for our next scene, I’m fine.”
“I do my best work with a little buzz,” he explained, and then changed the subject. “Are you tapping Halle’s ass?”
I cocked my head while deciding if he and I were about to have a problem. He held up his hands.
“Sorry, man, that came out wrong. I just wanted us to talk so we didn’t confuse things. If you’re not interested in Halle, I was going to make a run at her. Rumor is that she’s a virgin, and if you don’t mind, I’d like to change that for her,” Zak said.
“I’d rather you didn’t. Halle and I’ve been dating for a couple of months, and I don’t share well.”
“Is she good in bed?” he asked eagerly.
“That’s something I don’t talk about,” I said.
“That’s good. I understand. I was just curious. What about the other girls? Should we divide them up or just share them? I’d prefer if we shared so we could have more variety,” he suggested.
“You sound confident that we can get them to go along with it,” I said.
Zak laughed.
“I started having sex when I was thirteen. I don’t believe there have been more than three days go by without me having some kind of sex. Things are different here. I think you’re going to like it. I know for a fact that Leah has her eye on you. She told me that she wanted to see how things work out between you two before she’d spend some time with me. I think it would probably be beneficial for your acting since the two of you have to play like you’re in love. Get that sexual tension taken care of so it seems more real.”
“So you don’t have a girlfriend?” I asked.
“Are you crazy?” he asked, and I could tell he meant it. “Let me explain it to you. Yesterday I got a coffee at the commissary. The girl behind the counter showed some interest, so I took her to the back room, and we had sex. I went to a club last night and invited two other girls back to my place for a threesome. This morning the makeup girl gave me a hummer just to get my day started right. You really should let her do that for you; she’s very good.
“I guess what I’m saying is why would I have a girlfriend? If I remember right, the longest I’ve ever gone out with a girl is three weeks, and I was out of town for one of them,” he explained.
“You’re telling me that you’ve been with four girls since yesterday?” I asked.
He smiled and nodded.
“My young friend, I need to introduce you to the joys of being in the business. I’m going to start by getting you laid right now,” he said.
“How do you plan to do that?” I asked.
“Simple. Go to Leah’s trailer and knock on the door. I expect you can figure it out from there,” he said with confidence.
“Yeah, why not,” I said, invoking the ‘no regrets’ clause in my life goals.
I walked out of Zak’s trailer, followed by another cloud of smoke. I’d have to be careful not to get a contact buzz when I was around him. As I wandered over to Leah’s trailer, I wondered if Zak was full of shit, and this was like what Craig had pulled on me. Was this something to haze the new guy? Mr. Happy weighed in and explained that he didn’t care, if there was a chance at Leah.
I was startled out of my reverie as I came to the door and found one of the writers about to knock.
“Hey, David, I was coming to you next. We have some rewrites for your next scene with Leah. I think you’ll like it,” she said and handed me both scripts. “Jessup said to read through them and be ready in thirty minutes.”
I knocked on Leah’s door.
“Come in.”
“I have scripts hot off the printer for our next scene,” I said as I stepped in and froze.
Leah was in yoga pants and a sports bra. She had her butt pointed at me as she did some yoga pose on a mat in the middle of her living room. She peeked under her arm and smiled at me, I’m sure because she saw my pants tighten. That was the first time I’d seen her smile, and I already knew I wanted her to smile at me again. She got up and grabbed a towel to wipe the perspiration off her brow.
“Have you read them yet?” she asked, getting down to business.
We each took our scripts, sat on her couch, and read them.
“Oh, good,” Leah said and then looked up at me. “I talked to Rita and Jessup and reminded them this wasn’t TV. I felt that if they ramped up the sex, it would work better as a movie. It’s good to see they took my advice.”
I read through the script, and the first half of the scene was us talking about Cassie and what had happened in the woods. The second half just said, ‘Adam shows Diana that he loves her.’
“I’ve never been in a scene that’s that vague,” I admitted.
“That gives us a chance to ad-lib, and Jessup the opportunity to try different things to see what works,” Leah said.
We read through our lines, and Leah made some suggestions. When we felt we had it down, the two of us went to makeup. The guys had their own small room, while the girls were in a larger room with several stations, each with their name on it. That way if they wanted particular makeup, it was always there, waiting for them. Zak and I had to share, which was really no big deal.
The makeup girl came in and looked down at my bulge.
“That would take a gallon of concealer to cover.”
I blushed and stiffened when she reached down and grasped my member through my pants. I just watched as she unzipped my pants and fished out Mr. Happy. She looked up to make sure I was watching as she plunged down and took most of me into her throat. I grabbed the back of her head and shoved home.
The girl yanked her face off me to catch her breath.
“Do my face.”
I stood up, and she guided me into her mouth, all the way to the back. I looked down at my member wrapped by her lips. She gave me a little nod, and I pushed farther into her. It amazed me that the girl completely trusted me not to take it too far. I could have easily just buried myself, and she would’ve choked or passed out. I took the trust and honored it, making sure she got a chance to catch her breath.
Damn! Zak had been telling me the truth. This was so wrong that it made it hot. I needed to get off, and onto the set, so I didn’t hold back. I let go hard in her throat, and about passed out from pleasure as I felt her swallow.
As I collapsed in my chair, the girl just stood up, pushed my package back into my pants, and checked my makeup. We didn’t say a word as she left me alone to collect my thoughts.

Scene: Diana and Adam talk in her bedroom.
Diana: “So what happened?”
Adam: “I don’t know. It was different with her there. I could suddenly do magic I’d never even dreamed possible before.”
Diana: “I’m worried. I’m afraid of what will happen if we let Cassie into our circle. Too much power can be dangerous. I need you to support me on this.”
