room. Patrick exchanged a concerned glance with the cameraman. He made a mental note to speak with Vance about the situation as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, Vance was spending the day dealing with another business and leaving Patrick to deal with Ross alone. The ass had seniority over Patrick, and Ross wasn’t afraid of flexing that power. From some rumors around the studio, Ross did more than a few questionable things with the talent. Patrick didn’t have any proof, but as soon as he could get someone to talk, he’d take his concerns to Vance.
With a nod, Ross sent the cameraman from the
room. The man obeyed, but not before shooting a worried glance at Patrick.
As soon as the door shut, Patrick became painfully aware of how small the room was. Ross took a chair and rolled it closer invading Patrick’s personal space. While he didn’t want to show how much it bothered him, he couldn’t help cringing internally as he scooted back into his seat.
Ross gave a grin so malicious and lecherous that it sent shivers of revulsion down Patrick’s spine. Damn, what did Vance see in such a creep?
How could he let such a sleazebag work for him?
“You can act uppity if you want, but I’ll eventually get a chance at that tight little ass of yours,” Ross said.
If the situation had been any different, Patrick would have told Ross that every cheesy movie in history called and they wanted their line back. But he thought it would be smart to just keep his yap shut and pray Ross would lose interest in torturing him.
Ross reached out and trailed a finger along Patrick’s arm, leaving a path of oh-yuck in its wake. Before he could stop himself, Patrick jerked away and snapped, “Don’t touch me!”
Nodding toward the screen, which still had the scene playing out, Ross asked, “Do you think you’re better than them?”
“Of course not.”
“Then why do you expect Vance to treat you any different?”
Even though he knew it was a huge mistake, Patrick took the bait. “What do you mean?”
Ross leaned in, eager as a piranha who’d just honed in on a kill. “Do you honestly think you’re the first boy toy that Vance has played with?”
“Of course not,” Patrick said between gritted teeth.
Just the thought of Vance touching somebody else sent a fire of jealousy through Patrick. He knew he had no right to feel that way since they’d only been together for a couple of weeks, but he couldn’t help himself.
“You want to know what they have in common?”
“Not particularly.”
Patrick eyed the door and wondered how much trouble he’d get into for storming out. But, then he realized that if he lost his job, he’d be letting his friends down. While he may be in a relationship with Vance, Patrick didn’t want to relax and think that made his job secure. Besides, he didn’t put it past Ross to make up some outlandish lie about the reason why he had to fire Patrick. Then Patrick would lose both his job and boyfriend.
If his relationship with Vance could be called that. They’d gone out on several more dates, but Vance had never taken Patrick home. Instead,
they’d always ended up in the same hotel room.
While it was swanky, Patrick was beginning to feel like some high-classed rent-boy.
Ross gave a snicker. “You’re so blind and stupid. No wonder he didn’t want to put you in front of the camera. That innocent act is nice at first, but it really gets boring fast.”
“Are you finished?” Patrick asked, striving for a bored tone. He refused to give Ross that much power over him.
“Not yet, I still have to tell you why you’re like every other fuck Vance has been with.”
“Fine, say it then let me go. I have a ton of work to do today.”
Now it was Patrick who gripped the armrests of the chair as he braced himself for the bombshell.
Going by the smug expression on Ross’ ugly mug it wouldn’t be good. A cold pit formed in Patrick’s stomach as his mouth became dry from
