Present day

I throw my head back, my hips moving on top of Chris as he keeps me steady on him. "Ride it out Evermore" he praises me huskily in my ear as I now feel my climax hit hard.
He follows not long after, filling me up until there's nothing left.

I lax against him, all stamina that I had now drained from me.

He wraps his arms around me, keeping me firmly pressed against his body and covering my mouth with his kiss, gently tugging at my bottom lip with his teeth. "God I've missed you". He murmurs against my lips.

His strong arms still keep hold of me as he rolls me underneath him and pulls out. I immediately miss the feel of him inside of me.

I look over at the clock and see it's now 3am. I'm gonna be exhausted when I finally get up but we need to at least get some sleep.

I don't want him to leave...

We lie there for a few more minutes until he gets up and pulls on his clothes. "I'd better get back to my room".

I hunt around for my underwear and put it back on, Chris leaning down and giving me one last kiss. "I'll see you in a few hours".

Then he's gone, leaving me to lie there and contemplate what I've just done.

It'll be fine. He'll call it quits with Jenny and finally we won't have to hide how we feel about one another anymore.

Now I'm just lying to myself...

"Rise and shiiiiiine!" Lucy bursts into my hotel room and I sit straight up in a panic, the sleepy haze making me think that Chris is still beside me. Then I look over and remember he's not.

"Don't do that!" I calm myself down and glance at the clock - 6am.

We have press right through until the afternoon and then the premiere this evening.

It's going to be even harder now.

Tammy, my stylist now comes in with all her gear so as she can dress me for the appearances I'm making today as well as the premiere tonight.

"Got breakfast coming up as well, did you sleep ok?" Lucy asks.

"Like a baby". I mutter

She looks at me. "Remember what I said yesterday ok?" I know she's referring to the whole Chris scenario. If she knows everything then she'll know exactly what happened last night as well, but no way I'm gonna tell her.

I get ready and have my hair and make up done, Lucy nodding with approval at the final look. "Always smashing it, Everly".

I feel my phone vibrate silently in my pocket and then see the filthy text I've been sent.

Can still taste you Evermore, you're driving me mad...

I bite the inside of my cheek so hard I may bleed.

"Tammy, can I look at some of the dress options for tonight?" I ask and she shows me. "This one" I say as I point to one she holds up a green cutout dress.

"This one is perfect"

"This one is perfect".

If I'm driving Chris mad now, then I plan to up the anti for the premiere. It's the least I can do.

Tammy grins. "Agreed! You'll turn heads but then again when do you not?"

Lucy looks up and gestures for me to follow, "we've gotta go and get you guys set up for the appearance". She tells me. They've booked a suite especially for that and so we have a mixture of televised interviews and one to ones.

My security team and Lucy now accompany me through the hotel to the suite where they've set up. I say hello to a few of the cameramen and Lucy hands me a coffee.

I need all the caffeine at this point. My limbs are aching from earlier and I settle myself on the chair meant for me, taking a savoured sip.

I hear Chris's laugh as he comes into the room with Megan and he sips at the coffee he's got. Seems he's feeling it too. I know between my legs I still am.

"Morning". He says in such a gentle tone that I can feel myself begin to melt.

We have act normal - whatever that is anymore.

"Morning, sleep well?" I ask innocently and take a sip of coffee.

"Best night sleep I've got in ages". He eyes me over the rim of the coffee cup.

I lean in, "they're gonna know if we keep on like this" I tell him quietly and look over to Lucy and Megan who are in conversation.

"No one has to know, I told you that last night" he murmurs back, "just gotta put on the best damn act that anyones seen - starting with this. Best friend forever role play".

I don't have time to say anything else as it's now time to go live to Good Morning Britain for our segment with them.

We laugh, talk about the film and what we're planning to do while here in London and every so often out of the corner of my eye I sense Chris keep his focus on me, listening intensely to what I'm saying, and nodding in agreement at various times.

"Ok so last question before we let you guys go, who are you calling to help you hide a body?"

Chris looks to me, "I'd like to think you'd have my back".

"You'd be the one I was burying" I smirk

He now erupts into his laugh, grabbing his chest in the way that he always does as I laugh with him.

"Thank you much for joining us guys, Knives Out will be hitting our cinema screens tomorrow..."

We nod and smile, "thank you".

After the camera stops rolling and we're off air he turns to me. "You wanna bury me Wynter? Nice touch" he smirks. "Here was me thinking you'd be the one I'd call on".

I already am in some ways.

"Question is would you go that far for me?"  I challenge.

The way he looks at me now tells me all I need to know without him even answering, but he does anyway.

"Always, Evermore...always".
