I moaned breathlessly when he entered his finger in my entrance a little but not the whole way. He squeezed my neck again. "You daddy. I b-belong to you daddy." Carlos smirked. "Good girl. Now you will look into the mirror while I fingerfuck you senseless. You will see how much of a desperate slut you are for me. How pathetic and needy your are for Daddy. You will be begging and crying before you cum. You will be screaming and pleading with me to let you cum. You will lose any support in your legs before you cum. Be a good girl and stand still and maybe just maybe you'll be granted the pleasure of a orgasm tonight." He shoved two fingers into me suddenly. I screamed and moaned at the same time. **** She was a innocent naive girl who had been protected and sheltered since an accident when she was young.

They call her Hollywood-a nickname from her father, a Bronx doorman at the Hendricks Hotel who saw stardust in his daughter's eyes. From reenacting black-and-white classics in hotel lobbies to stealing moments backstage on Broadway, Olivia Moore always knew she was meant for more. Discovered at fifteen by a legendary director, Olivia skyrocketed to fame as Broadway's youngest rising star. But the spotlight wasn't enough. At seventeen, she left New York for Los Angeles, chasing her dream under California's golden glow-and landed in a world far darker than she imagined. Now twenty-two and one of Hollywood's most celebrated young actresses, Olivia is cast in the role of a lifetime: a remake of To Have and Have Not, opposite A-list heartthrob Johnny Depp. The on-screen sparks are undeniable. Off-screen, the lines blur-and so does Olivia's grip on the carefully curated life she's built. Hollywood's Price is a searing tale of fame, desire, and the devastating cost of survival in a world that promises everything-and takes even more.

Johnny Depp is not just a name; he is an institution in Hollywood, revered for his extraordinary talent. However, he is equally notorious for his tumultuous lifestyle and mischievous antics, making him one of the industry's most notorious "bad boys." His dedicated assistant, frustrated with the constant negative headlines and spiraling scandals that have become his hallmark, concocts a plan to help him repair his tarnished public image. In a bid to boost his credibility, she orchestrates a strategic public relations stunt: a fake relationship with none other than Jessica Hendrick, a name that resonates in the upscale circles of New York City. Jessica is not just another socialite; she is the daughter of a prominent hotel magnate and embodies the elegance and charm of New York City royalty. With her pristine reputation and polished demeanor, she dreams of breaking into Hollywood. However, the industry has proven to be more challenging than she anticipated, and her squeaky-clean image finds little acceptance in Hollywood. Both Johnny and Jessica are at a crossroads. Johnny is under pressure to shed his bad-boy persona while Jessica is hungry for the recognition that Hollywood offers. Their teams see a potential win-win situation: Johnny can leverage Jessica's pristine image to his advantage, and in return, Jessica can bask in the glow of Johnny's star power as she navigates the treacherous waters of the entertainment industry. But as their connection deepens, they must confront the realities of their worlds. Can a "bad boy" like Johnny truly commit to someone as pristine as Jessica? And can Jessica step out of the carefully curated image that has defined her thus far? As they grapple with these questions, both discover that the price of love is steep-and that the biggest challenges often come from within.

This is simply a test..or not.
