Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Aubree felt the electrifying energy of the young man beside her, his breath hot and heavy on her shoulder, still trembling a bit from the emotion of the moment, "You really are something else." She felt a mix of being slightly miffed and completely satisfied. After a quick freshen-up, Matthew darted off to take a shower and change into clean clothes. He drove Aubree to the set himself, and during the drive, he kept her close, stealing kisses for a solid ten minutes before finally letting her go. "I'll whip up dinner and wait for you tonight," he promised.

Aubree nodded, noticing how his youthful enthusiasm seemed to rub off on her, making her feel more alive and energetic.

"Aubree, love you," he said softly.

"Mhm."

"Make sure you come back early, okay?"

"Mhm, mhm."

"Is 'mhm' all you can say?" he teased.

Aubree chuckled, glancing at the time, "I'm just worried about being late."

Matthew released her, his eyes lingering with tender affection.

Aubree felt her heart melt. Before she'd agreed to be with him, Matthew had been holding back, but once he let his feelings show, it was like a volcano erupting-intense and selfless. She felt like she was wrapped in a warm, comforting embrace.

Arriving at the set right on time, the crew quickly got her ready for filming. She glanced in the mirror, relieved that Matthew hadn't left any marks on her neck.

The day's scene was a heavy one, and surprisingly, Casey called "cut!" three times. It was the first time Aubree needed multiple takes because of her performance. Casey reminded her, "This scene's supposed to be somber. Try to tone down the sparkle in your eyes."

The set erupted in laughter.

Feeling embarrassed, Aubree stood up to apologize, "Mr. Casey, I'm sorry."

Casey chuckled, then asked, "Falling in love, are we?"

While the crew was clueless about Aubree's love life, Casey clearly knew more than most.

Without hesitation, Aubree admitted, "Yes."

"That's great, but try to leave those emotions at the door. Take a moment to get back into character. Let's take a ten-minute break."

Aubree sighed in relief and nodded. After the break, she managed to nail the right mood for the scene.

After a long day, she returned home, welcomed by the mouth-watering aroma of dinner, which instantly put her at ease.

Exhausted, she set her bag down and flopped onto the couch. Soon, she felt someone massaging her legs. She let out a contented sigh, "A bit to the left." Matthew obliged, working out the tension before coaxing her to the dinner table.

"I made you some soup, it's great for

the skin and health. By the way, Aubree, ever thought about moving? Your garden here is a bit small. You could move to my place; the garden's bigger. Tell me what flowers you like, and we can plant

elf

them together. How about tulips?"

Aubree froze for a moment, then heard him add, "I don't want that Andrew bothering you anymore."

Her heart softened, "Where's your place?"

"Not far from Premier Palace. I wanted a place there too, but Max beat me to it."

That area was right in the heart of Beaconsfield, super convenient. Aubree nodded, "Okay."

Matthew's eyes gleamed brighter, his smile widening, "Then I'll call the movers tomorrow. You focus on your shoot, and I'll pick you up after work We'll head to our new home together."

Just then, Aubree checked her phone, "I've got dinner plans with Brielle tomorrow evening, probably Max too. Now that I'm in a

relationship, I've got to let my best friend know." en

"Why not host it at our new place then? It's just a ten-minute walk from Premier Palace."

"Sounds good."noveldrama

Matthew took her hand, kissing it gently, "I'll make sure to cook something amazing. I won't let you down." Aubree couldn't help but laugh at his earnestness.
