Hard Love

Chapter 2

Hero's lips press against mine and I can't help but kiss them back. I pull him close, and I can feel him smile into our kiss.

"Hero, what are you doing" I mumble against his lips as he travels down my neck.

" You look absolutely stunning in this dress" he says.

I look around to see if anyone is coming or looking at us. Fortunately, no one is.

"Hero, this isn't the place or time to kiss me" I say gently pulling his lips away from me.

"So, you also agree we should be kissing" he says, and I gently slap his arm.

"No, I didn't mean that. Why are you even kissing me" I say.

"I just wanted to and just by your body language on set. I know you wanted too" he says.

"We need to go before someone may hear us" I say grabbing his hand and we walk towards my dressing room where we can talk in private.

"We're actors. Our characters are to act as if they're in love. I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that I wanted to kiss you, but I didn't. I was just acting, I thought you were too" I lied.

"Come on Jo. Look me in the eye and say that" he says, and I give him a look.

"We have the same connection, Jo. We had it since we started filming the first movie. I don't want to miss a good chance with you. You kissed me back so that means something" he says coming closer to me.

"Hero, we can't" I whisper as he holds my waist.

"Why not" he whispers back.

"If things don't work out. I don't want the movie to be affected" I say.

"We will make things work out; I promise you" he says lifting my face to look at his.

"I..." I stumbled on my words to give him an answer.

"Do you want to do this" he says, which makes me think of his line from the After Movie.

"I'm done playing this game" I giggle, and he looks at me confused at first, then gets where it's coming from.

He lifts me up onto the makeup counter and holds my face as we laugh at my boring joke.

"Are we going to try this out?" he asks.

"Let's try it out" I giggle, and he smiles, leaning to kiss me.

"We can keep this between us right now, please" I whisper the last part against his lips, and he nods.

"I like the idea" he says, and we finally kiss again.

I hungrily kiss him back and pull him close. I run my hands under his shirt, and he takes his lips off mine to take off his shirt.

"I can't believe we're doing this" I say leaning my head against the wall and he comes back to me.

"It's been a long time since I waited for this moment" he says.

"It sure has" I say, and we go back to kissing.

He nibbles around my neck, and I can't help but moan.

"Stop kissing my neck" I gently say.

"You don't like that" he says.

"No, I love it. I just can't have you giving me a hickey. We must be careful" I say, and he goes back to kiss me.

"As much as I love this dress. Can you take it off" he says, and I nod, unzipping it. I hop off the makeup counter and step out of it.

He lifts me and carries me over the couch.

"You are so beautiful" he says looming over me and kissing my lips.

He kisses down to my boobs, then to my stomach. I run my fingers in his hair and pull at the ends once he kisses a sensitive spot on my body. 

I giggle as he gently removes my underwear.

"Is this okay?" he asks.

"It's more than ok" I smiled down at him.

He gently starts kissing my thighs and then over to my restricted area.

"Hero" I whisper as his lips do wonders all over my body.

He looks up at me and runs his hands up and down my body. I close my eyes and lay my head back to feel how good he makes me feel.

He comes back up to my lips and cups my face while we begin to kiss again.

My hands start to unzip his pants and he gets where I'm going with this, so he stands up and quickly pulls them off.

I bite my lip as I watch his perfect body. He catches me staring at him and chuckles.

"Grab a condom and come back here quickly" I giggle, and he sits down next to me.

"What?" I question, knowing that this can't be good.

"I don't have one on me. They are back at my apartment" he says, and I lay back my head and I groan.

"Are you serious Hero?" I speak.

"You don't have one in your dressing room?" I ask.

"If I had one, I would go and get one" he says, and I shake my head annoyed.

"It looks like we're not continuing with this" I say standing from the couch and grabbing my robe.

"Come to my apartment. You can spend the night with me" he says wrapping his arms around my waist from behind.

"I can't, we risk getting seen by paparazzi, fans or people we know. We have to be smart and careful about this." I say laying my head back on him.

I wipe my face with a makeup wipe, I take off all the makeup I have on and look back into the mirror at the beautiful sight I see.

"Are we just sleeping around together, or do you actually want a relationship?" I ask him and he kisses my head.

"I do want a relationship Jo, sex is fun, but it won't define our relationship." he says, and I turn to him and hold a hand to his face.

"I love that" I say leaning up to kiss him.

He kisses me back with a small kiss and I finish wiping my make up off.

Suddenly, there's a knock at my dressing room door and Hero and I both freeze.

"Hey Jo, are you in there? It's Anna" Anna says.

I start to help Hero to pick up his clothes and I push him into the bathroom.

I ran to open the door and I gave her a smile.

"You're stunning as always" she says letting herself in.

"Did you see Hero? I was knocking on his trailer but there was no answer" she asks.

"No, I don't have any idea where he is" I say and at this moment Hero's phone starts to ring in the bathroom. I look over at it with wide eyes.

"Who's in the bathroom Jo?" Anna asks, crossing her arms, and I look down, not knowing what to say.
