Marcus Graham hoped that he would be able to contain his arousal during his interview with Tegan McCormick; he was barely able to do so during her new film. It took all of his control not to reach down and play with himself during her nude scenes in "Guitar Girls"; seeing her in real life could be too much to bear, he feared.
Tegan was a few minutes late for the interview, but Marcus didn't mind; these junket interviews were always rather chaotic affairs. When Tegan finally arrived, she apologized profusely and sat down. Marcus couldn't help looking at her cute ass in her tight white dress; she was a complete beauty, with long blonde hair, brown eyes, tanned skin and a gorgeous smile.
"Well, don't you look relaxed!" Tegan remarked in her sweet Melbourne accent; Marcus knelt his head and smiled. He wore a black jacket, white shirt, jeans and black Adidas sneakers; he smirked at the contrast of his footwear with her Louboutins.
"So, congratulations!" said Marcus. "That was an amazing performance."
"Thank you," Tegan replied.
"So, what do you think of all the Oscar buzz?"
"Well, I just hope I'm not stung by it."
Marcus and Tegan both laughed. Tegan was indeed the odds-on favorite to win the Best Actress Oscar for her performance as Sarah Pierce, the leader of a all-female pop/rock band that moves from Sydney to Los Angeles in the early 1980s in the hopes of making it big in America; McCormick's portrayal of Pierce's triumph over drugs, alcohol and sexism to become a music icon was widely praised for its intensity and complexity.
"Seriously," Tegan said, "I try not to focus on it too much. You can get too caught up in that stuff. I just hope I can get a role like that againโI mean, I still keep getting offered all the cute-chick roles, and I hate that stuff."
"I know. You're so much better than that. That was one of the greatest performances I have ever seen."
"Ahhh, you're so sweet!"
"And I can't believe you've never played guitar before! You were a natural!"
"Thanks. It took months to learn how to."
"Yeah, well, you were great. You ought to go on tour!"
"Well, I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm not really into that sort of music. I mean, I know it was big at the time the movie was set, but that was before my time."
"Good point," Marcus replied, glancing at the soft, beautiful neck of the 25-year-old Australian actress, and imaging what it would be like to kiss her neck and shoulders. "So, what kind of music do you like?"
"Oh, I love hip-hop," Tegan replied, stunning Marcus.
"Really! Who's your favorite?"
