Connor Storrie is dishing on the sex scenes in his hit show Heated Rivalry.
The 25-year-old stars as hockey player Ilya Rozanov in the Crave original, which was adapted from the Rachel Reid book of the same name, and has already been renewed for a second season.
There are three sex scenes per episode and several intimate moments between him and co-star Hudson Williams, and in a new interview, he was asked if there were any times where they did any improv or adlibbing.

To note, the actors worked with intimacy coordinator Chala Hunter to bring the many moments to life.
“Everything is scripted,” Connor tells Variety‘s Marc Malkin.
However, there are some smaller moments that he and Hudson added in themselves, which he attributes to the relationship they built and the comfortability they have with each other.
“Yeah, there are some oohs and ohs that we put in there. The things that aren’t fully scripted are some of our touches, some of our body kisses and stuff, and that just came down to establishing a bunch of boundaries beforehand,” the actor continued. “There are levels to everything, right? Where are you allowed to be touched? What type of kisses are you allowed to do? And what do you wear to give you proper protection in any moment, depending on the act? There’s a closed-mouth kiss. There’s an open-mouth kiss. There’s an open-mouth kiss with tongue. There’s a hardcore open-mouth, prolonged kiss with tongue. You can wear pants. You can wear shorts. You can wear a G-string. You can wear layers. You can wear bike shorts that have padding. You can wear neoprene. There are levels to it.”
“Hudson and I, separately, we’re just like, ‘I’m not weird about that. I’m not squeamish.’ I trust him. I also feel confident enough in the production to voice anything if I ever feel uncomfortable, so I’m like, ‘So, let’s go all the way. I’ll wear the least amount of clothes. I’ll do the most amount of kisses,’” Connor added. “It literally just made me and Hudson be like, ‘Is it cool if I touch you here?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, touch me anywhere. I don’t care.’ So all those little intricate kisses, touches in between moments, a lot of that is just us organically feeling into that moment.”
That comfortability has led the actors to remain touchy feel while on their press tour. Connor also opened up about that in the same interview. See what he said!
