Seaside Pictures Chapter 29
LincolnI didn't realize how much of a creature of habit I was until Dani started working for me. It was semi-embarrassing to give her daily lists of my weird quirks that, up until now, I'd never realized were even odd.I only wanted my blinds open in the morning. I had to have them closed, blanketing me in darkness around six at night if I was still on set. The Today Show always had to be playing when I walked in. And coffee needed to be available at all times.Not too bad, if you asked me, but then, the whole Skittles thing was next on the list. I needed Skittles at all times. And if my bowl for some reason became empty, I felt... panicked. Great, so Skittles were my comfort food.Add in only two brands of bottled water I'd drink.And the special laundry detergent, and I seriously felt like a freaking diva. I was trying to rewrite my list for her for the next day, crossing things out, trying to make myself seem less like a tyrant, more easygoing, when she burst into my trailer
Seaside Pictures Chapter 30
LincolnThe next ten days flew by in a blur. Even if I'd wanted to seduce Dani, I wouldn't have had the energy. It took all I had to even shower at night. I was putting in fourteen-hour days along with Pris. The only reason I ate was because Dani was incredible and made sure I always had snacks in my trailer. She even had a few extra sets of clothes brought in with essentials from my rented house, since it seemed stupid for me to go back to the house and sleep for one hour before being needed back in makeup.The schedule was wearing on me, wearing on everyone - even Jay, who rarely raised his voice at the actors. The last person who'd forgotten a line got complete silence, which meant Jay was about ready to lose his shit.The weather wasn't cooperating, probably because we were shooting what was supposed to be taking place in the summer, in the fall. The tourist season had been way too busy for us to chance it; plus, it would have been basically impossible to block off part of the

DaniHe wasn't coming.It's not like he specified a time to shimmy up my drainpipe, but I assumed it would be before midnight. It was already 12:05. With a sigh, I shifted to turn off my lamp when a small stone clattered against my window. Giddy, I jumped out of bed, hurried over to my window, and pulled it open.There he stood, looking up at my window, face sexy and gleaming in the moonlight. Be still my heart, my pulse, my body... Heck, be still everything. He was so gorgeous it was unfair. "Hey, Romeo." I laughed. "What brings you by my window so late?""I was hoping to get lucky." Linc winked.I started to close my window."Joke!" he yelled. "It was a joke!"I popped my head out and crooked my finger. "Aren't you going to climb up?"Linc was wearing a hooded black sweatshirt; he pulled the hood over his face and shoved his hands into his pockets. "Actually, I was hoping you'd come down.""It's midnight!""Actually..." He checked his watch. "... it's nearing 12:08, but w

Lincoln"One," I grumbled softly to myself. "Two."Things were bad; you knew they were bad when you were actually counting pigs in order to fall asleep. I saw Wilburs float over my head one after another. I named them, I numbered them, and when that didn't work, I put them in funny clothes, all for my own bored amusement.I'd be lying if I said it was easy being next to Dani while she slept. My eyes were wide open, staring up at the ceiling that, honest to God, made me want to puke.Zane had put a poster of himself above her bed.His way of guarding her from bad dreams, apparently. According to Dani, he said his poster was like an Indian dreamcatcher.It only bothered me because it was Zane, every female's dream. Something about the way he walked, even his voice, drove women insane, my sister included. I just didn't want Dani to be another.I'd never suffered from jealousy.Because I'd never had to fight for what I wanted.Until now.Even though fighting sucked, it was a he

DaniHe was nothing like Elliot. Elliot had been... a boy. Lincoln was all muscle, a man who had filled out in places I didn't even know guys filled out. I was desperate for him, not because I wanted to make things go away, but because I felt alive with him. I felt like me.The me I used to know.The one that smiled, the one that laughed, the one that talked. He had seen the mute, but he'd also seen the girl before the muteness, the one I'd missed so much it brought tears to my eyes.But most of all, he embraced them both.Something that nobody had done until now.It was freeing, giving myself to someone so completely."Dani," Linc whispered, his mouth meeting mine in another searing kiss that had my body trembling. Sensations rocked through me as he flipped me onto my back, bracing himself over me, the muscles in his neck twitching as his arms flexed, his body weight being held up so he wouldn't crush me.Lincoln Greene. Was. Gorgeous. Stormy grey eyes locked with mine. His

LincolnI expected Jaymeson to fire me. Hell, I would have fired me. Did I have any regrets? No. But it was his sister-in-law. His underage, gorgeous, sister-in-law, whom he referred to as his little sister. Damn it, what had I been thinking?In his house?Under their roof?And it wasn't like I could say she seduced me, even though, if I was one to place blame, I'd be pointing my finger in her direction. She straddled me! Naked! What was I supposed to do? Sing nursery rhymes and close my eyes? Hold my breath?I was in and out of the makeup trailer within minutes.We were back on set at the local high school. The movie was being filmed in weird chunks, so technically, even though we'd been filming for a few weeks, we were just now filming the opening scene, where Nat saw Alec and Demetri for the first time.With a sigh, I made my way onto the set and sat in my chair.I was there for maybe two seconds before a hand slapped me in the back of the head."What?" I jerked to attent

DaniFilming was going late and I was exhausted after being kept up most of the night, so I grabbed the last of the Skittles, poured them into the bowl, made sure that Linc had the water he wanted, double-checked the blinds to make sure they were closed, then went to let myself out of the trailer.The door opened right before I touched it, and suddenly Linc and I were chest to chest.My breath came out in a little gasp as he lifted me into his arms and kissed me soundly across the mouth, while simultaneously locking the door behind him. I didn't have time to respond as he walked me back into the small bedroom then tossed me onto the bed. His shirt went flying, then shoes, jeans... gone. And he was standing before me much like he had the night before, naked."Good day?" I breathed, sitting up on my elbows."It just got better." He licked his lips, eying me up and down before crooking his finger.Slowly, I got off the bed and approached him, lifting my hands into the air as he pu
Seaside Pictures Chapter 36
LincolnI woke up with a really bad feeling. It continued throughout the day - Dani's birthday. I couldn't shake it, maybe because for the first time in my life, I was happy. That had to mean something was going to go to hell, right?Filming was short for me that day, which was good since I wanted to get ready for the birthday bonfire on the beach. My car had finally arrived from Malibu, which made me less stressed. I knew she hated my truck, so I was glad that I could finally drive her places where she wouldn't be white-knuckling the door the entire time, thinking we were going to get hit.My cell phone buzzed in my pocket.Dani: You like?Attached was a picture of her in a short black dress; she was turned, showing me the scooped back.I frowned and expanded the picture. Her tattoo seemed so familiar. I'd seen it the night in Depot Bay, it had looked like random shapes and letters. It was in a weird place, right above her ankle and below her calf in the back. Impossible t
