Chapter 27

The Lies Between Us

27 – The Truth Is

Lisie woke up to a handsome face next to her in bed.

What happened was hot. She sighed closing her eyes feeling the soreness in her body. Last night was like a dream. Through out her career, she's not a stranger to models being objects of desire and sexualization. Although show business isn't entirely a clean field, Soo was such a great boss that she managed to protect Lisie from the predators in the industry.

But last night, her massive attraction and suppressed feelings for Tait took over. She wasn't expecting this at all. She knew she lacked experience but she's not that naive when it comes to "that." And she couldn't help but be conscious about her performance if she was able to satisfy him as much as his other girls did.

A warm hand crept on her back going down her bum. She blushed when Tait unconsciously felt her up, smiling as if he's having the best dream.

"You don't play fair, do you." She whispered to the sleeping god. Her eyes surveyed his flawless face. She bit her bottom lip caressing every part of his face; from his hair to his eyes and his long lashes, straight nose, to his plump lips and slight stubble. He was breath taking even when asleep. His mom should've felt proud to have a son like him.

Her little caresses continues down his neck. A white strip band was still wrapped on his left shoulder caused by his fall but she paused at a red and bluish mark just above his collar bone. She remembered how he got that bruise just as clear as the day.

"T-tait, what are-." She gasped hiding her face on his neck as his fingers teased her thighs near her core. Her brain was shouting they should stop but her heart was racing telling her otherwise.

She was left only on her underwear and the strap of her bra was falling on one of her shoulder while he's shirtless with his boxers still on. "We should talk about-" She didn't get to continue because Tait was already devouring her lips. Tiny hairs on the back of her neck rose up when his tongue playfully mated with hers.

The kiss was demanding like he was convincing her there was a lot to miss out if she'd want to stop. But when it was her turn to kiss him back, he almost went mad.

"Damn it!" He pushed himself off her breathing heavily as he looks away. Like he was ashamed he's committing the biggest sin. "Fuck. You're so good in seducing me but I won't say sorry." He panted almost cursing himself.

Lisie smirked inwardly pushing her elbows to her hands to match his eye level.

"Tait, just admit that you wanted this to happen and you're a jerk because you didn't ask for consent." She raised a brow.

His prince like features illuminated in the dim glow of the lamp that made Lisie swoon even more. If only his reaction didn't look serious, Lisie would've giggled at him. But she wanted to test his patience if he really couldn't resist her. "You really are a jerk."

"But babe, if I didn't stop you would just let me do you."

Now she was getting pissed when he completely pulled away.

"You were hella turned on too." He smirked looking at his fingers making a point. When he turned to her, he has that smug look again. He even tilted his head and winked at her.

A playful but loud slap crossed Tait's perfect face to his utter shock while Lisie chuckled sexily to her amusement. He turned to her, his eyes dilated liking her naughtiness.

"Serves you right." She scoffed but her victory didn't stay long for Tait grabbed her hands to pin them down back to the bed. Lisie couldn't stop giggling in excitement.

"You crazy witch." He muttered closely watching her face to her chest licking his lips. "Fine. You want me to ask, huh? Okay beautiful Lisette Moore, do you want to fuck?"

Instead of feeling offended, Lisie felt hot hearing him talk dirty. "Um...I don't know let me think..."

Tait's hands traveled on to her back unclasping her bra while she was busy making a decision.

"If I say yes, what would I get out of it?"

Tait bit his lip half listening while he strip her off her last clothing. Lisie grabbed his chin to get his attention back to her face.

"Are you listening?" She said her voice sounding so alluring that her favorite boy couldn't resist but to kiss her. She pushed her laughing at his actions. "Answer me first."

"No, answer me first." He negotiated huskily.

Lisie smirked caressing his chest. "What will happen after this?"

She moaned when he adjusted their position bringing both of them closer to the head board. His action made their bodies press harder on each other. Lisie could feel him so much she almost gave in.

His lips made their way to her neck then to her ears as if he knew well how to command her. "After this, I'll love you in ways you wouldn't even imagine."

Lisie closed her eyes trying to resist. He was so naked that she could feel his hard on teasing her entrance. "I'll follow your every rule like your personal slave."

"Tait please..."

"Other woman would feel so insecure about how you have all my attention." He continues his assault. His member slowly penetrating her. "And men will die in envy because I get to see this version of you – helpless and writhing at my mercy."

Tait mercilessly pulled away chuckling low on her ears when she was deeply frustrated. "Tell me you want me." He demanded, his fingers replacing his member on hers.

Lisie's eyes were still closed feeling his breath on her skin and when he stopped, she slowly opened them.

"I want you." She sighed giving up.

The last thing she saw was him smirking like the arrogant beast that he is before he completely pushed in claiming her completely.

"Ah," Lisie wasn't able to deny the significant pain when he entered.

"F—"

She felt his hold on her legs got tighter when her hands automatically landed on his chest wanting him to stop. Her breath was coming on short not used to the feeling. Now she's slowly regretting her choices. "S-stop."

"Babe, I can't stop now."

"It hurts." Her eyes were shut again not able to deny the pain.

"Yeah. You're squeezing tight."

Lisie's heart was beating fast when she opened her eyes and found him starring so dazed and hypnotized by her.

"Not that it matters but I'm so glad I'm the only one." He smiled speaking his thoughts. Lisie bit her lip looking away when insecurity hit her. She didn't tell him she was a virgin but he figured it out anyway.

She couldn't look at him when she knew he'd laugh about it. Then he made her look. When she found his gaze, he has that dangerous look far from the mischievous face he often wears. He placed his hand on on top of hers on his chest.

"I'm all yours."

Lisie thought she was going to suffer because of the endless pain on her lower region but his kisses drove her attention away. All parts of his body burned with hers as his touch comforts every part of her. She was lost in passion when his lips descended on her chest biting a nipple while he's at it.

She couldn't even recognize her own voice when the pleasure started building up. His lips were still on her breasts when she felt impatient. She rocked her hips on his reliving the feeling of her desire towards this beautiful man sexily feasting on her.

Her actions elicit a groan from him making her crazy with want.

"Damn, I'm trying to go slow here babe." He sighed kissing her forehead while Lisie buries her face on his neck kissing his chest, her hands having their own journey exploring his body. "I don't want to hurt you more." He whispered.

She didn't care. When she got a taste of what it feels like, she thought she couldn't stop. She was so hot that she arched her body just to get closer to him as if they're not close enough.

"Hmm, babe... I want more." She purred kissing him wildly. She took advantage of his stillness that she started thrusting on him on her own. She moaned holding on to him like her life depended on it. "Please, Tait...ah..."

"Ah, fuck!" Tait cussed losing his sanity gripping on her waist to put her into place. He violently thrusts into her that she screamed in both pain and pleasure. He brought her leg on his shoulder, kissing it while he watches her getting wild and crazy about him.

Lisie was lost to her senses. Her eyes couldn't open properly in so much high that she couldn't kiss her lover back when his lips caught hers. All she could do was moan as he chews on her lip like candy.

She felt a tear escaped her eyes when she realized how she wanted to be with him so bad even before when they almost did it in his trailer van. Her love for him scares her even more now that they've crossed the line thinking that doing this with another man is close to unbearable.

"Kiss me back." He urged while he continues making love with her. "Please, baby." He begged.

How could she resist a man who's as sexy and sweet like him? It was a battle she's willing to lose. So she kisses him with all her heart hoping he could feel how much she loves him.

She felt the soft curls of his hair gripping them tightly when he started doing her faster than before. Her kisses eventually stopped when his drive turned impossible to match.

"Ah," Tait panted raggedly when her nails started drawing blood on his back. "I'm close."

Lisie was now aware of how strong Tait was when she heard the bed rocking and creaking. It turned her on so much she heard fireworks inside her head. The pleasure brought her to heaven then back to rock bottom when she felt something come out from him.

Her last view was of him smirking like a winner before she passed out.

She let out a defeated sigh as he watches him sleep. They did it two times more after the first one. Both of them were so addicted to each other that it's concerning Lisie to think that maybe it's not normal to want someone and have sex with them so much.

Her thoughts were consuming her deep she didn't notice Tait was already awake. There was that knowing mischief in his eyes again when she looked at him.

"Hi," He greeted and she cleared her throat. The way he looks at her made her think of their hot and passionate night just moments ago and it was too much for Lisie to take. She thought she'll never look at him the same again without thinking about their wild night.

"I'm going." She turned away from him clutching the comforter to her chest but he was quick to stop her. Lisie let out a squeal when she felt his strong arms around her waist placing her on his lap.

"I thought we still need to talk?" He suggested.

"Huh?" Lisie gulped. She felt him kissed her temples before renewing his hold on her embracing her tightly.

"You know, Princetown? My dad? Our plans after this..."

Lisie tilted her head giving him space to kiss her on her shoulders. "Oh, that."

"Yeah."

Lisie looked at his arms tracing the veins visible on it.

"You're not thinking of leaving me after what happened, right?" He said trapping her.

"N-no." Lisie met his eyes and found them accusing. Fortunately, he let her slide.

"Okay great. Then I'll accompany you to your appointments today." He beamed leaning his chin on her shoulder.

"What?" She couldn't believe it. While it's true that they're technically dating in public, it still feels unreal when she thinks about him that way in private.

"Is it clear to you now that I'm your boyfriend on screen and off screen? Well if it isn't I hope this confirms it, Lily."

Lisie couldn't help but scoff. "Yeah but your leaving anyway, so the on screen part is expiring."

She heard him sigh. He straightened up wanting to look at her reaction. "I had to make some sacrifices."

She looked up at him and his face was now void of any playfulness. He looked back at her with hopes that she'll understand his side.

"The truth is, I've grown tired of the spotlight."

Lisie frowned, confused why he felt that way.

"I didn't want to reach that point that it will mean nothing to me. Because really, this industry can be so draining, that even I feel empty most of the time. I can't find anymore meaning to what I'm doing." He admitted, his head was down like he was disappointed of himself.

"I guess what drove me to want Princetown was because I was close to Abe's personality in real life and that... you were also part of it." He smiled boyishly feeling the back of his neck.

"You're saying that but why are you quitting?" Lisie pondered.

"I'm not quitting, baby. It's just," He hesitated, looking at her like he's trying to think of the right words. "I won't be part of the promotions anymore and that I'll be shooting my scenes separately from the other actors. In short, I'll be busy."

"What do you mean? I'm busy too."

He chuckled at Lisie's innocence. "I'll be busy because I'm thinking about settling in New Zealand and to do that, I have to make sure my assets are doing great." He bit his lip. Lisie has a feeling that Tait was probably building an empire behind everyone's back and he's just being secretive about it. "And about my dad, I realized I do have responsibilities that I just couldn't put off."

Lisie nodded thinking that her boyfriend might have to travel twice as much as her, or maybe even more. "'I think I'm going to be bad at long distance relationship' if that's what you're implying at."

He chuckled, embracing her again. "Do you now? Not that long distance relationships aren't a nightmare to begin with but I'll make sure you won't get tired of waiting for me. I'm warning you, I won't be around as much as before but I'll have eyes to watch over you."

"Now that's creepy." Lisie rolled her eyes. "Then I'll have Saint watch you for me, we can exchange assistants." She raised her brow. "If word gets to me you're fooling around in god knows where, I'll make you sorry for messing with me."

"Sure, whatever you say." He pulled her closer kissing her cheeks soundly.

Lisie thought that they just started dating and they're already going to spend most of the time apart. "When are you going to start this plan of yours anyway?"

"In three months." He responded weakly putting his weight on her. "Aren't you a little bit scared, because I am."

She brought their clasped hands together and kissed it. "I trust you."

"That means a lot."

As promised, Tait did really followed Lisie like moth to a flame that day. When both celebrities made an appearance at Lisie's Prada campaign shoot, some of their loyal fans went crazy just at the sight of them. Their popularity even went as far as getting the number one trending spot on six social media outlets as soon as photos of them got published.

Lisie couldn't care less about it because it means nothing to her.

What's important to her though was Tait's intense glare as he watches her like a hawk when she started posing with another model. She held her laughter in when he leaned forward resting his elbows on his thighs.

She blushed scarlet remembering how she rode those thighs last night. The shutters of the camera led her focus to get back with her. The male model was also popular and he was younger than her so she felt like she should take the lead working with him.

And while she was doing her thing, she heard someone clearing her throat. Her attention followed the voice, and she smirked when she saw her boyfriend attracting girls like bees again.

"Hi, if you're bored we have brewed coffee and strudels in the pantry." A young aspiring model approached.

She only smiled brightly looking at the camera. "Nice try." She whispered. Her partner raised an eyebrow thinking if he's doing something wrong then he snickered when he got what she meant when he looked around.

Lisie didn't hear what Tait had said to the girl but she didn't look too happy about it.

After a few frames, Lisie called in for a break. Her eyes darted on Tait who was now making his way towards them. His arms possessively wrapped around her waist then he raised a hand to her partner to introduce himself.

"Tait Kingston."

Whether or not he was being playful about it, Lisie thought his subtle declaration of territory was a bit too much. It was funny but embarrassing at the same time.

"Er, Nice to meet you Sir, I'm Haruto, just Haruto. I've heard so much, I- I mean, you're a legend."

Tait smirked. "Thanks. Hey, do you want to be friends?" He offered genuinely but Lisie was already pulling him away from her acquaintance afraid he's going to scare the poor boy away.

After her appointment with Prada, they went straight to Elizabeth street trying to fool the fans by dressing inconspicuously. The freely wander the streets holding hands like any other normal couple.

Lis thought it would be nice to come back here in spring where the flowers come in more colorful and that she could take photos of Tait in every nook and corner.

And speaking of photos, her heart did a little somersault when she heard a snap. She sighed in relief seeing it was only Tait capturing a candid in his Leica. When she looked up at his Rayban covered eyes, she didn't need to see them to know her reaction worried him.

"Are you alright?"

She assures him with a smile. "It's just the thought of the paparazzi invading our little peace makes me anxious."

He nodded getting where her concerns were coming from. "Sorry for surprising you. It came out beautifully though." He showed her the picture which made Lisie giggle. In the photo she was smiling sideways, hiding half of her face on her scarf. But even though her smile wasn't visible, it was obvious in her eyes

"It's cute."

"No, pretty." He complimented kissing her bubbly cheeks.

It was the kind of perfect day, and for Lisie, she could feel herself confessing to him more and more. But she thought that those three words and eight letters would have to wait a little longer.
