Secretly Married Movie King

The next morning, I woke up to find Jack sitting on the bed with a look of hurt in his eyes.

The moment I looked up, I met his sad gaze.

"What did you do to me?" he asked, pointing to some marks on his collarbone.

They were clearly teeth marks, probably from when I was restless in my sleep.

…Are you serious?

I was momentarily speechless. What else could I have done?

I shot back, "What do you mean? You had a fever yesterday. Maybe it scrambled your brain a bit. I was just taking care of you."

Jack said, "Is this what your 'care' looks like?"

He gestured to the bite marks again.

I threw up my hands and said, "So what if I did something to you? We're married, it's legal!"

To my surprise, Jack simply smiled. "Yep, it's legal."

Before I could react, he pinned me down on the bed and pressed his lips to mine. I didn't dare open my eyes; my mind was spinning, and I could smell a faint, pleasant scent I couldn't quite place.

After a moment, he pulled back, looked down at me, and said with a grin, "It's legal, so a kiss isn't too much to ask, right?"

I didn't answer, but my brain was on fire. Since our secret marriage, we'd been very reserved with each other—hardly any hugs, let alone kisses.

Jack continued, "You've got to be responsible."

…Well, at least he knows what responsibility means.

After Jack got up and went back to the set, I was left alone. As a minor actress, I didn't have much going on. Still, I couldn't shake the strange feeling from yesterday's events.

I called Julia.

"What?! You slept with him?" Julia exclaimed on the other end of the line.

"Is that the point here?" I asked, bewildered.

Julia analyzed the situation for me. "Come on, you slept with the Best Actor! That's huge!"

"What's huge about it? We just shared a bed," I groaned.

"Okay, but you could make it real?" Julia suggested with a chuckle.

"No way, you're totally unreliable!"

And she really was unreliable. After all, who else would post photos of herself at a bar with gigolos on Twitter, claiming to have taken me along for the ride?

After hanging up, I went back to scrolling through Twitter.

Suddenly, a new trending topic caught my eye

[#Minor Star Charlize Bedding BestActor#]

I panicked.

Clicking on the hashtag, I saw photos taken the day before when I picked up Jack from the set. The shots were taken from an angle that made it look like I was clinging to Jack's waist as I helped him into the car.

The angle was deliberately misleading, suggesting that I was pursuing him while he was reluctant.
