Chapter 196: Do You Have Any Hobbies?
“What have you been doing since Scent finished filming?” In the dance floor, Eric held the young woman by the waist and swayed gently. Although they had just said they would dance the tango, they did not actually do so. The music and atmosphere at the venue were not suitable, and Eric was not that enthusiastic about it either.
Gabrielle wrapped her arms around Eric’s shoulders, looked up at him, and said, “My agent recommended me for the second female lead in another romantic comedy. I already passed the audition. I’ll be joining the crew soon. The film might be released on Valentine’s Day next year.”
“Oh, not bad,” Eric said with a smile, staring into the young woman’s eyes. From her few words, he became even more certain of why Gabrielle had made those little gestures earlier. The large hand originally resting on Gabrielle’s back slid lightly down the smooth fabric of her dress and stopped on the full curve of her buttocks, giving it a gentle squeeze. “Then what benefit do I get?”
“Ah, I… I don’t know what you mean.” The young woman stiffened, her eyes flickering as she answered softly.
But how could she not know?
If she had not been using his name, how could a British girl who had come to Hollywood all alone, with no connections, no background, and no particularly outstanding acting skills, obtain two important roles in just half a year? Moreover, UTA must have misunderstood her identity, which was why they had taken extra care of her and fought for the second female lead role in that romantic comedy.
Following Eric’s movement, the young woman anxiously looked around. There were still many people on the dance floor. Although the lighting was not bright, it did not impair visibility at all. Anyone who paid the slightest attention could definitely see the wicked movement of Eric’s hand.
He… how could he do this? Even if he wanted it, it should not be here. The young woman thought this, but could only bury her head against Eric’s chest like an ostrich.
Fortunately, that large hand did not go too far. After teasing the young woman until she was breathless, it soon moved away.
However, when Gabrielle secretly glanced around, she still saw the knowing, meaningful looks of several nearby people. A few actresses who knew Eric’s identity saw his intimate posture with the young woman. In their faintly disdainful gazes toward Gabrielle, there was also envy that could not be concealed. If possible, they certainly would not have minded if the woman in Eric’s arms were replaced by one of them.
That little bitch. Acting so unwilling too. What a bitch, one young actress on the dance floor cursed bitterly in her heart when she saw Gabrielle’s expression. After the party began, she had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with Eric, but unfortunately, Eric had not even intended to chat with her for more than a few sentences.
Eric did not care about other people’s gazes at all. In any case, his reputation as a playboy had already spread. He withdrew one hand and gently lifted the young woman’s pointed chin, saying in a tone that allowed no refusal, “Come on, look at me. I like this expression.”
Gabrielle’s body went soft. She neither could nor dared to resist, so she obediently raised her head. Her slender, distinctive eyes stared at Eric, watery and bright. Her small mouth was slightly open as she panted softly.
Seeing the young woman’s appearance, Eric nodded in satisfaction. He pinched her small chin, then continued holding her petite body as they moved lightly to the music.
“Actually, this isn’t bad either,” Eric said again after a while.
“Mm?” The young woman appropriately showed a puzzled expression.
Eric said lightly, “It isn’t easy for a girl like you to come to Hollywood all alone. So if anyone asks about your relationship with me, I won’t deny it. Treat it as a kind of protection for you. After all, if not for me, you wouldn’t have been able to stay in Hollywood.”
“Mr. Williams, thank you,” the young woman said with a grateful expression, her small hands around Eric tightening slightly.
“Call me Eric,” Eric said casually. Then his tone became solemn again. “But that’s all. Remember to behave yourself. Don’t ever let me find out that you’re doing things you shouldn’t under my name.”
The young woman said anxiously, “I won’t. I definitely won’t.”
“That’s good,” Eric said with a smile. “Don’t be so nervous. Actually, even if you wanted to do something, it wouldn’t be that easy. I’m just reminding you in advance.”
“Mm…” The young woman leaned closer against Eric and answered softly.
“By the way, do you have any hobbies?” Eric suddenly asked out of nowhere.
Gabrielle did not know why Eric was asking this. After a moment of hesitation, she said, “Reading, dancing, and maybe… sleeping.”
“That won’t do. Then plant some kind of flower in a pot. That way, I can often go over and give you some guidance.”
The young woman blinked, then burst out laughing. Her tone carried a hint of deliberate flirtation. “I have a cactus at home. Will that do?”
Eric laughed as well. In truth, it was only a small joke. If he wanted to visit a woman’s home, did he need to find an excuse? But now Eric said seriously, “Raising a cactus also requires skill. How about we go take a look now?”
“Of course,” the young woman said, lightly throwing Eric a flirtatious glance.
…
“…I know, I know. Just put it in my study… ha!” Eric, leaning against the headboard, could not help letting out a breath. He quickly reached out and pressed down on the woman’s head below him, giving her a warning pat before saying, “It’s nothing. I accidentally kicked the coffee table… All right, I know. I’ll go back and get it tomorrow. Go to sleep early… Kiss what? Go to sleep early!” After saying that, he hurriedly hung up the mobile phone and turned it off. Thinking of how the little girl on the phone seemed to have realized something and kept deliberately dragging out the call, Eric felt waves of stimulation.
This was an apartment in West Hollywood. Gabrielle could only afford to rent a place here for now, but the one-bedroom apartment was decorated very delicately, revealing a woman’s careful touch everywhere.
At this moment, the young woman was sprawled between Eric’s legs with her clothes in disarray, busily working in an inexperienced manner. Her small mouth and nimble little tongue moved slowly, lightly wrapping and licking, bringing Eric wave after wave of pleasure.
After hanging up the phone and enjoying the young woman’s lips and tongue for a while longer, Eric patted the spot beside him. “Come here. Lie down here.”
The young woman raised her head and unconsciously stuck out her tongue to lick the corner of her mouth. She obediently crawled to Eric’s side, preparing to take off the small dress that was already wrinkled beyond recognition.
“No need to take it off,” Eric said, patting the young woman’s buttocks and stopping her movement. He lifted the hem of the little dress, hooked down the small piece of fabric covering her private parts, admired the sight for a while, then pushed himself inside.
Moving gently, his large hand naturally reached toward the young woman’s chest. After touching her for a while, he disappointedly wanted to pull away.
The young woman seemed to sense Eric’s disappointment. She gently pulled one of Eric’s hands over, opened her small mouth, and took his fingers inside, lightly licking them.
“Whoa.” The stimulating sensation made Eric let out a soft cry. His other large hand pressed the young woman’s entire upper body down. While quickening his movements, he signaled for the young woman to turn her face, which was pressed against the bed. Then he pushed his fingers into that small mouth and let her attend to them, occasionally teasing that smooth little tongue.
