Ayumi comes with suggestions

With that, Ayumi angrily storms out of the storage room, her bare feet slapping against the cold concrete as she runs back to the safety of the busy theatre.

She can feel the hot sting of tears prickling at the corners of her eyes, and she quickly wipes them away, not wanting anyone to see her break down.

As she enters the theatre, she sees the familiar faces of the cast and crew, all bustling around, preparing for the next scene. The smell of makeup and sweat fills the air, a constant reminder of the intense and intimate world they all inhabit. Ayumi takes a deep breath, trying to push aside the pain and discomfort she feels from her conversation with Greg.

As the scene progresses, Ayumi improvises, pretending to lose her balance and almost falling out of the boat. Liam quickly catches her, his hands gripping her naked waist as she clings to him.

Ayumi can feel the heat of his hands as she struggles to keep her balance. Liam's grip tightens, and he pulls her closer, his mouth hovering just inches from the slope of her neck. Ayumi's heart races as she feels his warm breath on her skin.

The director calls for a cut. Liam releases Ayumi, and she steps back, her face flushed with embarrassment and excitement. He praises Ayumi for an excellent idea and orders a few retakes. Over and over she feels the grip of his hands on her tummy, the fast breath on her bare back and a weird feeling of his clothed body pushing into her naked skin.

She glances over at Greg, who is standing off to the side, watching the proceedings with a mixture of anger and sadness. Ayumi can't help but feel a pang of guilt for her actions, but she quickly pushes the feeling aside. She is angry at him and wants to **** his reaction somehow.
