Timeskip (R-18)

As the weeks flew by, Lucas's voiceover project for DreamWorks' upcoming animated film wrapped up. With that chapter closed, he dove into producing "Blue Jasmine" with Woody Allen. During the casting process, he met Jennifer, who was chosen for the lead role.

After a long day of filming, Lucas and Jennifer retreated to their hotel room. The two of them were lounging on the plush king-sized bed, scripts in hand.

"So, what do you think?" Lucas asked, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Do you like the script?"

Jennifer chuckled, her laughter bouncing off the walls. "I wouldn't have accepted it if it wasn't good," she teased, her eyes twinkling with admiration.

"Well, I thought you accepted it because the script was written by me," Lucas said with a playful grin.

Jennifer's eyes widened in surprise. "I had no idea it was you who wrote it! I thought the scriptwriter had the same name as you," she said, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Seriously, what can't you do? You can compose songs, you're a great actor, and now even scriptwriting? Are you an alien or something?" she teased, chuckling.

Lucas chuckled too, but he couldn't help but think of Taylor Swift, who had once said something similar. "You're not the first girl to suspect that," he said, smiling.

"Oh, really? Who's that girl?" Jennifer asked, her eyebrows arched in curiosity.

Lucas shrugged nonchalantly. "Don't you worry. We don't have any relationship. Just friends, maybe."

"Oh, I'm not worried," Jennifer said, but her raised eyebrows told a different story. "But who is she?"

"Well, you might have known her. She's the one I collaborated with on my first music video. Taylor Swift," Lucas revealed.

"Taylor? I've met her, actually." She grinned, "We even became friends."

"Really?" Lucas was genuinely surprised.

"Yeah, we actually related to each other so much," Jennifer chuckled, her eyes sparkling mischievously. "We even talked about you a lot."

Lucas feigned innocence, "About me, huh? I guess I don't need to hear it."

Their laughter mingled together, the tension in the air thickening by the second. As they continued their conversation, their faces drew closer, and their lips met in a heated kiss.

Their hands roamed over each other's bodies, hungry and impatient. Buttons were undone, zippers lowered, and clothes began to fall to the floor and onto the bed in a tangled heap. Soon, they were both naked, their skin pressed against each other's.

Lucas's hands explored Jennifer's body, caressing her full breasts and teasing her erect nipples. His other hand trailed down her stomach, making its way to her gradually wet folds.

Jennifer mirrored his actions, her hands exploring his toned chest and abs. Her other hand found its way to his crotch, where she discovered his erection, hard and throbbing. "My, my, what do we have here?" she purred, teasingly stroking him from base to tip.

"You're so hard now, boy. Excited?" she teased, a playful glint in her eyes.

Lucas grinned, "Well, look who's talking," he said, his fingers delving between her folds, feeling how wet she was. "Seems like someone's been missing me."

They chuckled together, their laughter mingling with the anticipation in the air. Their bodies ached for each other, having been apart for months. They were determined to make up for lost time.

Lucas couldn't take it anymore. He positioned himself at Jennifer's entrance, his erection throbbing with anticipation. "Are you ready for this?" he asked, his voice a low growl.

"God, yes," Jennifer moaned, her hips arching upwards, silently begging for him to enter her.

With a low groan, Lucas pushed himself inside her, inch by delicious inch. The sensation of her tight heat enveloping him was indescribable. Their moans filled the room as their bodies moved together in a primal rhythm.

"Oh, fuck, Jennifer," Lucas groaned, his hands gripping her hips tightly. "You're always so tight."

"Yes, yes!" Jennifer cried out, her nails digging into the sheets. "Of course it feels tight, you're so big!"

Lucas chuckled, "Alright, I'll start with a bang. For the first time in a few months, I'm going to pound you with my big piston." He winked.

Jennifer, despite the overwhelming pleasure, chuckled and playfully nudged him. "You're so unbelievable, you know that?"

Lucas laughed softly, "Hehe," he said before pulling almost all the way out of her wet heat, and then slamming his hard length back inside her at a fast and hard pace.

"Oh!" Jennifer couldn't help but moan as her head flew back and her eyes rolled up.

With that, Lucas lost control, transforming into a beast as he relentlessly pounded into her. The room was filled with the sounds of their flesh slapping together, blending with Jennifer's moans that she tried to suppress, only for them to escape louder as she felt a delicious mix of pain and pleasure.

*Slap* *Slap*

"Oh! Oh! Fuck!" Jennifer moaned, her eyes locked with Lucas's as he continued to slam into her mercilessly.

To muffle her moans, Lucas kissed her deeply, his hips still pistoning at a relentless pace.

Jennifer couldn't help but moan into the kiss as her nails dug into his back.

After twenty minutes of relentless pounding, Jennifer cried out, "Oh, I'm close! I'm close!"

With that, she climaxed, her walls contracting around him. But Lucas was far from done. He continued to thrust into her, and after another two minutes, he finally came, shooting his load deep inside her. Jennifer also climaxed once more, her body shuddering in ecstasy.

Finally, Lucas collapsed onto the bed beside her, both of them panting and looking into each other's eyes.

Both of them chuckled, grinning at the intensity of their lovemaking.

"You're so cute when you're like that," Jennifer chuckled, remembering the determined look on Lucas's face.

Lucas grinned, "Look who's talking. You came first."

They both laughed, teasing each other before their lips met in a passionate kiss. Their desire for each other far from sated, they decided to try again, this time exploring different positions.

They experimented with various positions, even trying some from an exercise manual they found in the room. Lucas was eager to attempt yoga poses, but Jennifer was too spent. In the end, they fell asleep entangled in each other's arms, their bodies slick with sweat and satisfaction.

Under Woody's direction and with Lucas's improvisation, "Blue Jasmine" began production. Jennifer, as the lead, brought a fresh perspective to her role. The filming process lasted for weeks, but the chemistry between the cast members was undeniable.

The main difference between this version of "Blue Jasmine" and the one in Lucas's previous life was the younger cast, especially Jennifer Lawrence in the lead role. To accommodate the change, Lucas had tweaked the script, maintaining the original theme of a rich woman falling into a working-class life but tailoring the story and character arcs to suit the younger cast.

As the filming progressed, even Woody couldn't help but feel confident about the movie's box office potential. Lucas's guidance and experience from Mind Workshop proved invaluable in helping Jennifer hone her craft.

During breaks, Lucas and Jennifer made sure to spend time together, which only fueled the already rampant rumors about their relationship. While they didn't publicly confirm or deny the speculations, the cast and crew couldn't help but gossip. However, they respected the couple's privacy and kept their conversations within the set.

January 2012 arrived, and to Lucas's surprise, his short film with Blumhouse Production made it to Sundance. Most of the short films screened at the festival were around 7 or 20 minutes long, even though the official requirement was 49 minutes or under. "One-Minute Time Machine" clocked in at a brisk seven minutes.

Lucas attended the festival, and his fans were thrilled to see him. He spent time signing autographs and taking selfies with them before meeting the festival director for a chat. They later appeared together at the Sundance Gala.

Lucas stayed at a nearby hotel for a few days, watching indie and short films whenever he could. When it was finally time for "One-Minute Time Machine" to be screened, the theater was packed with his fans, leaving him no chance to sneak in. However, it didn't matter much since he had already seen the final product.

Lucas left Sundance, unaware that his short film had made quite an impression on the audience.

When the results were announced, "One-Minute Time Machine" didn't win, but Lucas didn't mind. Making the short film was about gaining experience in production, not winning awards. He did, however, take note of the reviews and feedback he received.

Time flew by, and in early February, Lucas received a Grammy nomination.

Unfortunately, he couldn't attend the ceremony as Warner Bros. needed him to start work on "Gravity."

During this time, he also met with Barry about his "Joker" script. The studio was already on board to produce the film, impressed by the realistic, dark theme and minimal CGI requirements, which meant a lower budget.

The clincher, however, was when the studio executives found out that the person who pitched the script was none other than Lucas Knight, and that he was willing to star as the Joker. They knew that if he delivered a great performance and the film became a box office success, it would be a win-win situation for everyone involved.

The studio executives warmly welcomed Lucas on board to star as the Joker, with the exception of Vince Knight, who visibly tensed up at the news. It was no secret that Vince had a strained relationship with his son, so when he objected, everyone simply brushed it off.

Vince tried to regain control by requesting to direct the Joker film, but Barry denied him outright. Barry's dislike for Vince was an open secret, but he never let it show. In fact, his closeness to Vince's son, Lucas, was nothing more than a ploy to spite the man.
