have an update soon enough, and if it’s the real deal, we

wish them all success.”

The story moved onto a group that had recently split.

She stared down at her cereal, twirling her spoon in the

bowl. “Well, that wasn’t exactly friendly, was it?”

“Then we prove to them they’re wrong. This is what

we’ve got together, Sarah.” He took her hand, kissing her

knuckles. “I know how you make me feel.”

“You really do love me?”

“Never doubt it.” He placed their bowls on the floor,

and he was kissing her in the next second. Moaning, she

wrapped her arms around him, tugging on the shirt he’d put

on. At the same time she worked his shirt off, he did the

54

Chemistry

same to her.

Whenever his hands were on her, she forgot about

everything else. All that mattered in the world were her and him, no one else.

“I love you. We’re going to prove them all wrong.”

She believed him. They were proving them wrong

right this second. Instead of going their separate ways,

they’d come together, and were working through their

relationship.

“I’m going to have to go back home,” she said,

gasping as he kissed down to her neck.

“Not tonight. You can cancel your home.”

She moaned. “I own it.”

“I’m going to be owning this pussy, baby.”

“I can’t just cancel.”

“Sell it then.” He moved down her body, kissing her

nipples, sucking on them before sliding further down.

Biting her lip, she tried to think of something to say.

“I’ll sell them then.”

“You’ll move in with me?”

“Yes.”

“You’ll prove to all of our haters that I’m the one who

owns your heart?”

“Yes.”

He slid his tongue across her clit, and she just couldn’t

argue with him when his mouth was on her pussy. It felt so

damn good with the way he sucked on her clit, nibbling

down and flicking his tongue across it. “You’ll be mine?”

“Yes.”

“We’re going to show the world we’re together?” he

asked.

“Yes.” God, she’d do anything so long as he kept

55

using his tongue.

“I love you, Sarah.”

“I love you, too.”

“I’m going to do dirty things to you.”

She couldn’t wait, and for the rest of the night, he

proceeded to show her exactly what he wanted to do.

Chemistry
had released worldwide on Friday, and it was now a Monday. Adam and Sarah were together for an

interview after they had a killer weekend with amazing

reviews. He turned toward his woman and couldn’t help

but smile. She was a nervous wreck. During their time

together, he’d come to discover that she hated interviews

and had a tendency to stutter. It was cute to watch.

Their agents, Dean and Niles, were behind the camera

watching everything. He’d gotten to know Dean and

Martha quite well, seeing as he spent most of his time with Sarah.
Chemistry
had been such a huge success that several studios wanted them to work together in other movies.

Their critics were eating their own words, and in fact

the woman who was about to interview them had been one

of their huge ones. This was the woman who insinuated

they were together for publicity and called them beauty and the beast. Niles had made sure that there was a male

present who’d given the movie a brilliant review as well.

“It’s going to be okay.”

“This is awful. We know she thinks we’re a fake.”

He leaned close, kissing her neck. “She’ll soon find

56

Chemistry

out that not only do we live together, we’re expecting our

first child, and we’re working together on another project.

We’ve even worked apart.” Adam had hated that. One

week alone together, they had to separate for a month, and

he’d been that desperate for her the next time he saw her,

he’d knocked her up. Bad and good for him.

“I hate this.”

“Come on, it’s time for us to take our seats.” He took

hold of her hand, and together they walked onto the set.

Adam watched the other woman and saw her look

pale. He wondered if she was going to keep her job after all of this.

Taking their seats, he still held her hand, and waited.

“Good evening, everyone,” Matt said. “As you all

know Friday saw the release of one of the most anticipated

movies of the year,
Chemistry
. This had a lot of buzz as it featured a fuller woman searching for that special man in

her life. What sets
Chemistry
apart is the lack of comedy, and yet the more erotic element to the story. I’m happy to

say it was a huge hit this weekend, and is set to be one of the biggest earners this year. I’ve got Adam Feltworth and

Sarah Leigh right here with me, folks.”

Adam nodded at the camera, and Sarah smiled, lifting

one hand, and giving it a wave. So far the woman had yet

to speak.

“Now, when I first heard about this movie, I thought,

this is going to suck. I mean, who wants to see a bigger

woman find love? I expected comedy, slapstick, and what I

got was something entirely different,” Matt said. “Sarah, is that why you decided to take this role? It was a pretty

intense one for your first movie breakout.”

“It was a challenge. When my wonderful agent told

57

Sam Crescent

me there was a story for me, and he gave me the rundown,

I was like you. This isn’t what I want to do. When I read

the script, it was unlike anything I’d ever read. I had to be this part. Of course, after I got the part, then came the part of David.”

“What specifications were there for his role?” Matt

asked.

Sarah looked toward him. “You must answer this

one?”

Adam chuckled. “He had to be hot, of course.” He

looked toward the camera, and flexed his muscles, going

for the joke. Everyone laughed, even Sarah. “No, seriously, he had to connect to Sarah, and have exactly what the

movie was titled about: chemistry.”

“What I heard was there were a lot of guys who

auditioned for this role, is that true?” the woman asked.

“Yes,” Sarah said.

“I’m the lucky guy who got the chance to know this

wonderful woman.” Unable to resist, he kissed Sarah’s

lips, trying to calm her down.

The crowd erupted.

Matt started laughing and urged everyone to quieten

down. “Okay, you’ve gotten everyone in a stir, and I have

to say that I like it.”

“Sorry, I couldn’t resist.” Adam sat back, happy to see

the woman looking embarrassed.

“So, the rumors are true. You and Sarah are together.”

He nodded, and Sarah mumbled a yes.

“This is not fake or a promotional tool?” Matt asked.

“No. We’re not beauty and the beast, either,” Adam

said. “You saw that?”

58

Chemistry

“Yes. We saw a great deal, and it was awful. Sarah

and I, we’re together, we’re a couple, and it’s never going to stop. I love her, and in fact, it’s the perfect time to do this.” He slid out of his chair, and pulled the ring out of the back of his pocket. The crowd went crazy, and her heard

Matt release a squeal. “Sarah, you’re my entire world.

You’ve made me a better man, you’ve challenged me in

ways I never would have challenged myself. Being apart

from you hurts me. I want you to be my wife, so I’m

asking you first, will you do me the honor of becoming my

wife?”

“Yes.”

He slid the ring on her finger, got to his feet, and

pulled her into his arms. “I love you, Sarah.”

“I love you, too.”

“She’s going to be my wife!”

There, the world could suck it. He’d found his woman,

and no one was ever going to take her away from him.

Epilogue

Five years later

Two children and five years of marriage later, they

were still going strong. Adam sat at the large dinner table as Sarah and Martha were in the kitchen cooking up a treat

for Thanksgiving. Niles, Dean, and all of their families

were around the table.

The media had been watching them for the last five

years, always ready to pounce on any sign they were close

to a divorce. Two years ago while she was pregnant with

Junior, there had been a news report out that he had

cheated on her, which wasn’t true. The young starlet who

came to his room for something more had been escorted

out by security. Now, Adam never worked on a movie

unless his costar was told beforehand that he wasn’t

interested. He loved his wife, and the first person he called about it was Sarah. She laughed her ass off, and unless she was working, she now spent time on set with him. Their

kids went everywhere with them but they would have to

stay in one place soon. It was nearly time for school for

them.

“Here’s the large turkey,” Sarah said, taking a seat

beside him. He took her hand and smiled at her. She was

the love of his life, and every day with her gave him an

extra day to live for.

They said grace and got stuck right in. This was what

he loved, being around his family, feeling the love

60

Chemistry

surround him.

Later that night, he was staring out over their garden

when Sarah walked up behind him. “The kids are asleep

for the night.”

They’d been lucky that their kids happened to love

their sleep and rarely got up in the night.

He wrapped his arm around her, tugging her in close.

“Five years today I first proposed.”

“There were bets going on all around the world about

how long we’d last.”

“There are a lot of angry people out there.” He kissed the

top of her head. Adam cupped her ass, giving her a gentle

squeeze.

“Do you ever regret it?”

“Not once. I love you, and this is exactly where I want

to be.” He stared into her blue eyes. “I told you, babe,

you’re it for me.”

She gave him a beautiful smile. “I heard you’re up for

a possible Oscar?”

“Then it would look great next to my wife’s.”

Sarah had won an Oscar two years ago for a movie

where she played an ex-prostitute trying to bring down the

men who’d ruined her life. It had been a dark movie, and

one he hated, as it required her to diet down and lose all of her curves. He’d made sure she put those curves right back

on. Contrary to what everyone thought, he hadn’t been

jealous of his wife’s success. He’d been so damn happy.

She’d lost weight and gave one hell of a performance. At

least he got to see something for losing his wife for a little while. The woman in his arms had all of her curves and

had promised him she wouldn’t lose weight for a role

61

again.

There were still bets going on about how long they

would last. It was funny really. They thought he’d be bored after five years of marriage. He wasn’t. If anything, he

wanted her more. There was never going to be enough time

for the love he felt for her.

Another five years passed, and they had two more

children, and still the world expected them to divorce.

They had four children together, with another one on the

way, and still the world liked to question their romance.

Finally, after twenty-five years of marriage, six kids in

total, ten dogs, five cats, and two homes, the world started to believe that he was in love with his wife. It didn’t matter what anyone else said. Sarah knew that he loved her, and

nothing was going to change that.

Looking down at his woman, with her many wrinkles,

he smiled. Growing old with the woman he loved was the

best thing in the world.
