Susan swept into the room as if she owned it, extending her hand to Max, "Maxwell, it's so good to see you again."
Max's eyes absorbed her elegantly chic look. From her perfectly waved shoulder length red hair and her dark blue eyes to her high cheekbones and perfectly shaped full, red mouth. Everything said money. His eyes slid down over her emerald silk blouse to the black skirt that ended just below her knees, revealing stunningly beautiful legs. That's right, he thought, she was a dancer too. Probably what kept her so fit and those legs so toned all her life.
Max heard the door shut behind Patience but he couldn't tear his eyes away from the aging beauty before him. She was past her prime but she had an indefinable allure.
"Susan, it's always a pleasure." The truth was that he couldn't believe she'd remembered him after being seated next to each other for one evening at a Hollywood dinner party over a year ago. But he smiled and took her hand to lead her over to the couch where she perched, her ankles crossed like a lady.
She was elegant, timeless, though she had to be getting on near sixty, Max thought. She didn't look it though. That's what money could buy, luminescent skin and fabulous boobs. Max couldn't decide if it was how beautiful she actually still was or the remembrance of things past. She had surely been every young man's wet dream in her heyday. Even now his cock began to respond to her like a well-trained dog.
"Why, Maxwell," she said with a sophisticated chuckle as she laid her hand on his knee. "I don't believe you heard a word I said."
Max had the grace to blush as he looked into her deep blue eyes. "I'm simply overwhelmed to have you visit my office."
"I was saying that I was only fifteen when I made my first movie." Susan smiled.
Max revised his estimate, maybe only fifty-five. Oh, who gives a crap, he thought as her hand squeezed his knee gently. She was stunning for any age.
"I'm a household name. Surely my name would be an asset to your movie? I understand that your lead actress walked off the set on you. I'd be more than willing to take her place for you."
She shifted closer to Max and her hand slid, oh so slightly, up Max's leg. Susan Swansong, he thought, Susan Swansong is on my casting couch and her hand is inching up my leg toward my dick. It was every director's boyhood dream. He smiled down at her.
"I think you would be an incredible asset to our film," he assured her. "I'll have the contracts drawn up immediately." He'd already promised the role to a somewhat younger woman but he didn't give a damn at the moment. Susan smiled up at him and squeezed his knee one more time before standing.
"Wonderful, I have an appointment but I'll give your secretary my address to send the pages over," she said and sailed out of the room. Max sat still for a minute.
"What just happened?" he asked the empty room.
Outside, Susan chuckled. That had been far easier than she had expected. She gave her address to the mousy little secretary then decided to take a walk over to the sound stage where the movie would be shot. She'd just take a little stroll through the place that would soon become the scene of her triumphant return to film.
Susan walked into the sound stage and looked around, taking a deep breath. Ah, the smell of fresh wood during set building always exhilarated her. People were busy everywhere, putting the finishing touches on a new piece of scenery.
"Hey, watch out there," a deep male voice called and Susan looked up to see a tall man walking toward her. He reminded her of Harrison Ford, with those glinting blue eyes and the cleft in his chin.
"Watch your step, there's power cords everywhere," Woody Dickerson got his first good look at her and stopped short. He'd noticed the incredible legs and the high heels that could tangle easily in power cords but hadn't focused on her face until now. "Ms. Swansong, what brings you to our humble set?"
Susan took the hand he held out and let him lead her over to the side, out of the away from all the workers. She smiled up at him from beneath her eyelashes. She loved men with big, rough, capable hands.
