Chapter Three: Con Woes
“You never did tell me why you were avoiding me,” came that damned kicked puppy voice that was very nearly her downfall.
“We managed to get you in without anyone seeing you, at least there’s that,” Lissa replied, ignoring what he had said entirely. If she had her way, Tom would never find out how she really felt about him. How he made her heart flutter pleasantly every time he called her ‘luv’ or ‘darling’, how much she wished they could be so much more than platonic pet names. She would resist this magnetic pull between them every time they were alone together, ignore just how much she wanted to straddle his muscled lap and inhale that intoxicating scent. He smelled like an open field on a brisk winter’s day during a thunderstorm and just thinking about it made her junction pulse with want.
She had learned a hard lesson with Jeremy. Though the circumstances were much different, the results would be no less explosive. Tom’s fans were legendary for how rabid they were and just how vitriolically they reacted to any female on his arm. If she dared to allow herself to fall for him in earnest, there was no doubt she would shatter his rising career. A lot of his appeal came from the fact he was single and if he got a girlfriend, it would feel like a huge betrayal to the women who dogged his every move. There was also the fact that her name was still attached to the ‘scandal’ with Jeremy. Yet, despite knowing all of this, she still felt a strong pull to just give in and confess. “We have a day before the convention opens so I shouldn’t be so surprised you weren’t seen,” the young assistant continued, her steady voice giving away none of her inner turmoil.
“Lisey...,” came a gentle but insistent baritone, the sound of springs creaking coming from the bed as he shifted.
“It looks like you have a pretty easy schedule anyway. You only appear once tomorrow and that’s your big reveal as ‘Loki’. The next day is fairly light too, only a few autograph sessions and a panel. The last day you have two panels as well as closing ceremonies. All in all it looks a lot easier than any shoot I’ve been to,” the brunette declared, flicking through the schedule on her handy tablet. A large hand on her shoulder effectively stopped her spiel and she found her nostrils filling with that mouth-watering scent. Gentle, but firm fingers tugged the electronic device out of her loosening hands while his free hand tipped her chin up so she would look at him.
“Do you really think I haven’t noticed how you’ll avoid me sometimes? I feel your absence keenly! Please, tell me what’s going on. Do you not like my company? Because you seem to get along with me just fine. Darling, I want to know why you feel the need to hide from me some times and not others so I can rectify whatever the problem is,” he whispered in an urgent tone, worry glittering in his green-blue eyes. His feathery, dyed hair hung slightly in his face and the suit wearing woman had to fight the terrific urge to brush it behind his ear.
“Tom, it’s nothing you did,” she replied, the words feeling like a slight lie. After all, her disappearances had happened every time he had gotten a new girlfriend. A pattern the actor would probably notice if he stopped to think about it. He was smart on top of being highly empathic, it was a wonder he hadn’t put the pieces together already. In fact it seemed like the wheels were turning right now, to her extreme horror.
“No, that doesn’t sound right to me. There almost seemed to be a pattern, always seeming to happen when...,” the taller male trailed off, realization as well as a bit of shock coming into his blueish green eyes. The green slowly became more prominent as a grin curled his lips and a soft, almost tender expression blossomed on his handsome face.
“Tom, don’t get any ideas now! It’s not what you think!” the panicking assistant protested, backing away from him and avoiding his knowing eyes.
“Oh, I think it is,” he rumbled, his voice full of satisfaction as he rapidly closed the distance to take her in his arms.
“Disappearing whenever I have a new girlfriend, did you really think you could go much longer without me figuring it out? I need to hear it from you Melissa. Tell me what I already know,” the dark haired star urged, a heat in his almost green eyes as he held her tight against him.
Licking her dry lips, the twenty-eight year old felt like a rabbit caught in a snare and did her best to wriggle out of the thespian’s tight grip. “This is highly inappropriate,” she squeaked out in a last ditch effort to maintain her professional veneer. She knew she was caught, she knew it was useless but she couldn’t let herself go down without a fight of some sort. Even if she did confess like he wanted, it wouldn’t change the fact that she couldn’t have him. Her feelings simply weren’t allowed to factor into this situation.
“Do I really look like I care? Don’t try to lie to me now. Why have you been avoiding me?” husked his baritone as the green in his eyes became almost impossibly bright, almost seeming to glow.
“I... Please, don’t make me do this! It won’t change anything!” Lissa pleaded, tears rimming her eyes as her panic rose to a fever pitch. The actor only greeted her plea with an apologetic but firm expression.
Knowing she was caught, the young woman sighed deeply as she tried to gain control over her desperate fear. “I have... God this sounds so juvenile! I have a crush on you,” she hissed, her body shaking as she turned her head to avoid the heat of his eyes. It certainly didn’t help that silence followed her declaration, a silence so profound that it seemed Tom had stopped breathing. All at once he was far too close and his heat on her skin was too much to bear. With a sudden burst of energy, Melissa struggled to get away from the man that had haunted many a dream; only to feel his arms tighten around her.
“Melissa,” came a deep rumble that sounded like it came straight from his chest. Immediately her brown eyes shot up to meet his, the green in his eyes taking her breath away. She had never seen such an intense look on his face and she felt her knees start to shake.
Time seemed to stretch between the pair, neither of them daring to breath as the moment seemed to last an eternity. Then his soft lips were crashing down on hers in a possessive, passionate kiss that held the heady taste of his want. For a few moments, it was if she had tasted heaven. The moment their breaths mingled, it felt like their very souls had connected and, if the tightening of his hands on her back was any indication, Tom felt it too. The taller, sleek male released a satisfied rumble as his head tilted to deepen the kiss, earning a soft moan from Lissa as her black clad arms came up to wrap around his muscled neck. Then she saw a flash of Jeremy’s face before her eyes and she broke the kiss as she tore herself out of his arms and scampered to the other side of the room.
Her chest heaved as she stared at her client with an almost scared look on her pale face. The dark haired star still stood in place, his arms wrapped around a phantom waist as a confused look came into his nearly jade green eyes. “I can’t. We can’t,” she whispered, her heart fluttering painfully within her chest. Every part of her wanted to give in, to just let whatever was going on between them happen. For those few moments the kiss had lasted, it had felt more right than anything in her life ever had and it was taking every shred of willpower within her not to continue what he had started.
“Why,” came a throaty rasped as his arms slowly lowered to his sides. Thankfully he kept his distance but the steely look in his eyes told her that her explanation had better be good.
“Can we not do this right now, please?” the flustered, shaking female pleaded; her breath coming in sharp gasps due to the conflict within her. Tom only leveled her with a Loki worthy glare and she could swear the temperature in the room had dropped just slightly. Chalking this up to the tense feeling in the room, Lissa licked her dry lips as she frantically sifted through what she could tell him in her mind.
“I... I have a reputation of sorts, not to mention my ex and I are still kinda hung up on eachother. I can’t get in a relationship right now, probably not ever. Now can we please drop this and do our jobs?” the torn handler begged, two tears rolling down her pale cheeks. The taller male only narrowed his eyes slightly before an outright devious grin curled his lips briefly. It was so quick, she wondered if she was seeing things.
“You’re right Melissa, we can always discuss this at some other time. For now, why don’t we have some lunch brought up to us,” he suggested, his pale face once again holding a pleasant grin. The brunette gave him a suspicious glance before she picked up the hotel phone to call room service. While she was placing her order, Tom got a thoughtful look on his pale face.
Soon the pair was eating quietly, Lissa doing her best to avoid the star’s intense gaze. The heat of his eyes on her skin caused a familiar, sweet ache to pulse in her core despite her desperate want to not feel anything at this moment. She needed to get a hold of herself, otherwise she would end up throwing away all her intentions as well as a past with a man she had dearly treasured. It has been years since she had last seen Jeremy, let alone actually been in a relationship with him and yet she still felt just as strongly. So on top of feeling like she would bring negative attention to the rising star, she felt it wouldn’t be fair to start a relationship while part of her heart still belonged to someone else. “You said we had the rest of today to ourselves, correct?” came a deep baritone, making her jump slightly in surprise.
Grabbing her glass of water and taking a sip to wet her dry throat, Lissa leveled a suspicious glance at the man across the table from her. She hadn’t forgotten the smile she thought she had seen earlier and immediately found herself on guard. “Yes, why do you ask?” she asked, her voice cautious as she watched him closely. The taller male only nodded, taking a bite of steak before taking a sip of his tea.
“What would you say to a quick nap before a walk around town?” he suggested, his blue-green eyes watching for her reaction. He wasn’t disappointed.
Melissa had been in the middle of taking another drink of water when he made his suggestion and very nearly spat it out from shock. Then she was coughing raggedly due to the fact that she had inhaled some of that, causing a look of concern to come over the dark haired star’s face. He was up and heading behind her, rubbing her back soothingly as she continued to hack helplessly. “Are you...*cough cough* fucking kidding me?!” she wheezed out, tears of pain rolling down her eyes as she managed to speak between coughs. Then she blushed as she realized she had sworn in front of her client. Feelings or not, she still had a job to do here and she had just seriously breached professionalism.
Tom looked just as shocked as she felt, then a look of amusement bloomed on his oval face. “Not at all! I have a few things to help disguise me and I would love to walk around town again,” he responded, a smile on his face despite the pleading look in his almost turquoise eyes. His scent hit her nose again and her body betrayed her with a pleasurable throb between her thighs, making her lose her appetite.
“I don’t think that would be a good idea. Your appearance here is supposed to be a secret and I don’t think over-sized sunglasses make an appropriate disguise,” the brunette sighed, shoving her hamburger away. The look on the actor’s face immediately made her regret her words. The man looked like his beloved pet had just died he looked so depressed. His shoulders even sagged and you could almost taste his disappointment in the air. In all honesty, she couldn’t bare to see him like this and sighed as she decided to compromise. She only hoped she wouldn’t come to regret this.
“Maybe if we wait a few hours for dark, we could use that to our advantage but I must tell you that I don’t think we should go too far from the hotel in case we need to escape quickly. Besides, we can’t take the chance of a taxi or bus driver recognizing you. I’m just worried about that hair of yours. With your hair dyed and grown out like that, any fangirl is bound to recognize you,” she sighed, smiling as his spirits buoyed. He even graced her with one of his biggest, brightest smiles before squeezing her shoulder.
“Let me worry about the disguise. I also agree with your terms, they’re quite amiable,” he responded, almost looking like a child on Christmas morning. Just seeing the grin that most women swooned over melted her heart and Melissa couldn’t help but return it.
“Well we have a few hours to kill, what do you want to do til then?” he continued, making his way over to his bed to sit down. Lissa only rolled her eyes as she smiled.
“What do we usually do Tom? We find a channel with the worst cartoons or movies and we make fun of them,” the brunette responded, not daring to let her guard down despite the relaxed tone of her voice. She had a feeling the star was plotting something because of her confession earlier and felt a warm bloom of happiness despite herself. Shaking herself free of her thoughts, the assistant moved to her own bed before she heard a throat clearing.
“Why don’t you come cuddle with me luv?” he requested, giving her his best puppy eyes. Something he knew very well would sway her decision. The terrible thing was, this wouldn’t be the first time they had cuddled either. Whenever Tom had a bad day, or had to act out a distressing scene; she would curl up beside him and basically act as a human teddy bear. She simply hadn’t been able to deny him even the smallest form of comfort.
Slumping in defeat, Melissa crawled onto the bed and snuggled up against the taller male. A much as she just wanted to lay on her back with a few inches between them, she knew Tom would never accept that; especially when she had cuddled closely with him before. As soon as her head met his shirt covered pecs, one of his arms wrapped around her to keep her there; drawing an unconscious gasp from her lips. This proved to be the worst thing she could have done as she inadvertently filled her nostrils with the scent she found irresistible. Taking another, shaky breath, the brunette turned her attention to the TV and began to flip through the channels.
A gentle hand on her shoulder startled her awake and the dazed female sat up slowly, wondering when she had fallen asleep. “Did you sleep well darling?” came a soft rumble by her ear, making a warm tingle settle in her core. Taking a deep breath to quench the embers within her, the determined handler gave the actor hovering over her a small smile.
“Yeah, I guess I’m a bit jetlagged,” she yawned, sitting up slowly as she opened her eyes. Tom’s hand moved from her shoulder to her upper back, giving her some support in case she was still tired.
Stretching languidly, the groggy twenty-eight year old swung her legs over her bed and got to her feet. “I’ll make you some tea to help wake you up. I found the perfect place to go tonight,” he offered, making her remember their discussion with a cold wash of dread. Before she could even voice her hesitations, the actor was seating her and setting a kettle to boil.
“Give me a few moments luv, I’m going to go put on my disguise,” purred his baritone by her ear before he moved to grab a small, black bag from his large, wheeled suitcase. With a wink to her, the lithe male went into their shared bathroom and shut the door.
Eyeing the closed door suspiciously, Lissa shifted her focus on the steaming teapot; being sure to take it off the heat when it began to whistle. She really, truly didn’t like tea one little bit and would have honestly preferred a cup of hot cocoa to start her day. Yet she would never be able to get the gumption to tell Tom just how much the beverage tasted like overly boiled grass and decided to just gulp it down as soon as he served it. Then, as if her thoughts had summoned him, the tall movie star stepped out of the bathroom. Instead of the dark locks that had graced his head before, he now appeared to be wearing a very good wig that looked like his normal hairstyle. In fact, the hairpiece almost looked real, making her wonder if he had gotten it from a friend in make-up. As her eyes travelled down from his ginger curls, she saw he was dressed in all black; perfect attire for avoiding notice on a dark night. “How do I look Lisey?” he purred, gesturing to the clothing that hugged the lines of his body deliciously.
In fact, she found her eyes traveling to his jeans clad crotch and very nearly gasping at what she saw. A flush of heat and mortification raced through her body as she saw the outline of what fangirls had dubbed the ‘Hiddlesconda’. From what she saw, the name wasn’t an exaggeration. It was a wonder it hadn’t made more appearances in photos. “Y-you look great,” she stammered, averting her eyes as quickly as she could as a blush colored her cheeks. As if he knew she had been staring, the handsome actor chuckled as he came close and offered his midnight clad arm.
“Shall we?” husked his smooth voice, his accent doing terrible things to all her intentions to keep their relationship platonic. His greenish-blue eyes danced with mischief as he wound her hand over his bicep and lead her out into the hall. What she didn’t know was that his intentions for her and their relationship were anything but platonic. The moment she had confessed her feelings and they had shared that kiss, he had vowed to to make her his and that he would be using all the charm at his disposal to do so.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
