Off Camera

Chapter 60

Tee POV

With a wide grin, I scan the living room. The private hut looks more like a luxurious penthouse instead of some bungalow at a resort.

I'm so glad we listened to Kimmon. He had promised he could get us the one unit farthest away from the others, which would give us more privacy.

I tighten my grip on my bag and spin around. "This is amazing! I want to come back again some other time when we can spend more time here."

A hearty chuckle fills the room. Tae walks in behind me and chimes, "We haven't been here long enough to know whether we will like it or not. But I must admit it looks amazing so far. I'll put it on the list of potential places where we can go on vacation in the future. We probably won't have enough time to see much of it this time, though. We need to leave tomorrow."

I sigh and pout. "I wish we had more time. You deserve it."

He deserves so much more than a night away, but I'll take whatever we can get.

With a slight skip to my step, I head towards the bedroom. "I'm going to put my bag away, then we can decide what we will do next. Is there anything you want to do? I'm up for anything."

I don't wait for his answer and dash into the bedroom.

I stop in the middle of the room and slowly look around. The bed is the largest one I've ever seen and is decorated in all red, including the fluffy decorative pillows. A couple red roses rest on each pillow.

If it were nighttime, I would be looking for the wine and scented candles for a romantic evening in bed. If I'm lucky, maybe there would be some massage oils, chocolates, whipped cream, and strawberries, too.

Kimmon has gone all out for us. I'm going to have to remember to thank him for what he has done.

My grin widens as I put my bag on the end of the bed.

I think this is going to be an amazing evening.

The candlelight flickers across the table and dances off the glass vase full of roses. The smell of the steak and potatoes fills my nose as I inhale and savior it. Soft music plays in the background.

Perfection.

From the other side of the table, Tae chuckles. "Baby, you can do more than smell the food. You can actually eat it." His devilish grin taunts me while he cuts his steak.

I shake my head and huff, "I know, but I want to savor all of it for a moment. I don't know when we will have something like this again. It also smells divine. I've never had a steak smell so good before."

He lets out another chuckle. "My steaks come close to this."

I pick up my fork and knife. "You can cook steak?"

His hands stop and hover over his plate, still holding his fork and knife. "I've cooked for you before. It shouldn't be such a surprise that I can fix a steak, too."

I glance across the table at him. "You have fixed simple dishes for me. I haven't requested you to fix me something more difficult or on a grander scale." I pause and stare at him. "How much can you do?"

His eyes sparkle, and he puts a piece of meat in his mouth. He remains quiet while he chews his food, but it doesn't stop the silent dare he gives me as he smirks.

He raises his eyebrows and flashes me a triumphant look.

I shake my head and turn my attention back to the delectable steak in front of me. My mouth waters looking at it. I can't wait to taste it.

Before I'm interrupted, I quickly cut a slice off and eat it. As soon as it touches my tongue, the juices explode in my mouth, almost giving my first orgasm from food only. Can it really be this good?

I close my eyes and moan. "Uhm....."

A hearty chuckle echoes in my ears, but I don't pay attention to it. My entire focus is on the mouthwatering food and the amazing feelings it gives me.

We will have to come back here again sometime for the food alone.

With my eyes still closed, I slowly chew and continue to savor every last bit of it.

Tae playfully asks, "Are you going to moan and look like you are having sex throughout the meal?"

I open my eyes and shrug my shoulders. "If it is as good as sex, I won't be able to stop myself. You will have to live with it."

He shakes his head. "If you keep doing that, we won't get to the rest of our vacation. I won't have any choice but to ravage you here while you keep tempting me."

A smile dances across my face. I was hoping we would have some hot steamy time together, but not while I'm eating something this delicious.

I cut another piece of steak. "Did you remember to turn your phone off? I forgot to ask earlier. It would be horrible if we were enjoying our short vacation, and we got interrupted."

Horrible is an understatement. I might scream and pull my hair out if anything would disturb our quiet time together.

He bobs his head up and down and turns his attention back to his food. "Yeah. I made sure to shut my phone off when I was unpacking thing earlier. The only thing I can't prevent is if anyone comes to the door knocking."

I let out a snort. "I told the front desk to make sure no one disturbs us. So, that shouldn't happen."

He shakes his head. "You don't know my cousin. If something comes up and he needs to get a hold of me, he will try anything and everything to get a hold of me, including coming to the resort and knocking on the door. Now, that he knows about my issue, I'm sure he will do something to help. I'm not sure exactly what, but I'm positive he will do something."

My smile fades and morphs into a slight frown. Why would his cousin come all the way out here? Then I remember his line of business and stop questioning why. He is used to going and getting what he wants.

Mentally, I sigh. Who knew part of Tae's family has connections with the underground gambling rings?

I wonder if his order will really protect me.

Jane POV

I scan through the details for the event, which is spread out over the dining room table. My stomach sinks looking at the temporary changing room on the layout.

I would have questioned it no matter what. Our agency doesn't want the actors to stay at an event. The actors are to go, do their event, and leave. No one is to stay behind, unless the agency has gotten a request and the event coordinator has paid extra for the time. Other than that, there is no reason for the actors to stay.

I know the driving fact for the agency is greed and wanting more money from each event, but there must be a line they don't cross.

Steam rolls off me while various options to either stop the event or not have Tae do the event roll through my mind.

I've already been told by the executives they would fire me if I call the cops. What other choice do I have?

Ring...ring...ring...

Without looking, I grab my phone off the table. "Hello?"

A deep voice very similar to Tae replies, "Is this Jane, Tae and Tee's agent?"

I tilt my head and lean back in my chair. "Yes, it is. Do you need something?"

"It is more like you need my help. I understand from my cousin he is having a problem. I think I can help fix it."
