Page 9 of Secrets We Keep
“I thought you didn’t know who I was the other day? I guess you’re a better actress than I thought. Maybe I should hire you for my show instead of trying to get you into my bed.”
I can’t have heard that right. Reid Taylor wantsmein his bed? But he could have any starlet he wants. Anyone.
“Why?” The question is out of my mouth before I can process what my mind has figured out.
“Why wouldn’t I? You’re gorgeous, and I can tell you have a brain in that gorgeous head of yours, or Adrien wouldn’t have hired you. That appeals to me more than I thought it would.”
Dominic approaches with two beers and what looks like some sort of juice drink. He’s a rockstar.
“Because you could have any starlet, model, or influencer on the planet. You might not act as much as you used to, but you still have it.”
“Hmm,” he nods. “You seem to have put a lot of thought into my sex life.”
He doesn’t need to know that I had my first self-pleasuring moment during a sex scene he had in a teen show I used to watch.
I take the drink off Dominic, and he slides back into the booth on the same side as Reid.
“So, Jenna,” he says. “Before we were interrupted, as entertaining as that was, I was in the middle of asking you something.”
I suck on the straw; I have both guys enthralled. Guys are so easy! I smile at them both. “What about if I didn’t want to choose?” No way in hell will these two guys not want to dominate this situation.
“I’m game if you are,” Dominic says, a smile on his face.
“Oh, I’m game on sharing her with you.”
I clear my throat.
“So, we agree, Jenna doesn’t have to choose.”
I want to pinch myself. I must get away from both guys and think about what I’ve just agreed to. Not only did I agree to it, but I also planted the damn seed.
Ideclined when the boys offered to walk me back to my office. Needing the time to think. All this seems a little too good to be true. I mean, seriously, Reid Taylor wants to sleep with me. I mean, it’s totally normal for the guy you had a crush on in your teens/early twenties to be interested in you, right?
I stop at the store on the way home and pick up a bottle of wine. My mind keeps replaying lunch. The guys looked to be getting on together when I left. I couldn’t shake the feeling that both guys seemed super comfortable with each other like they already knew each other. Has Dom been holding out on me?

REID
Isit back and throw my ball against the wall. I know it drives the guys crazy on the other side of the wall, but I’m that much of a dick that it’s not going to stop me from doing it.
A knock sounds on the door, and I look at the clock and see it’s four in the afternoon. Too early for the writer's meeting.
“Yeah,” I shout, throwing the ball against the wall again.
I stop, just about to throw, when I see Jenna leaning against the doorway. She looks hot as hell, even if she’s wearing pants. “Well, hello, Jenna Michaels. To what do I owe the pleasure?”
Her smile spreads over her face as she nervously looks at the floor, her skin pinking just a little, and now that I know she’s had a crush on me, I decide to have a little fun with it.
“Would you prefer I was in sports shorts?” I feel like that’s all I wore on the show back in the day.
A small laugh escapes her as she puckers her lips. Even her eyes are smiling back at me. That’s when I know she’s being completely genuine with me.
“You want to take another step, so you're actually inside my office?” I lean back in my chair, and it creaks just a little.
She bites her lip at me. She’s nervous again. I like this Jenna.
“I don’t bite,” I smile. “Unless you want me to.”
