Pure Seduction

Chapter 8

After my hair and makeup is done, I check my phone to see if Alex is on his way yet. I left my purse at his house last night and he offered to bring it to me since my photo shoot was just outside of Tampa. Yesterday when we left my dads, Isabelle gave Alex her phone number and invited Addison to come swimming again today. So Isabelle is keeping an eye on her while he drops off my purse.

Mason comes into my dressing room with a big smile on his face. "Do you realize what this photo shoot means for us?"

We had an offer from Rebellious Jean Co. to do a photo shoot for their up and coming company. They've only been in stores for a few months and they're quite popular already. This is a huge step forward for me. "Yes, Mason. I'm just as excited as you are."

"The ad will be in Sports Illustrated, The Rolling Stone, a d a few other magazines."

I grin. "I know this already, Mason."

"Okay," he holds out a small pile of clothes for me to take. "This is what you'll be wearing."

I look at the few things he handed me. There's only jeans and a matching white lace bra and panties. "What about the shirt?" I ask, confused.

"You won't be wearing one. Their slogan is somthing about being sexy," he shrugs. "But just a heads up, you will eventually be taking the bra off and a man will join."

Furrowing my eyebrows, I frown. "I'm not comfortable with a man touching me or being near me, especially without a shirt or bra on."

"But -"

The door opens and a woman peeks around it to see us. "There's a hunk named Alex asking to see you."

"Send him in," I say.

She leaves the door open and Alex comes in a moment later. He has my purse in one hand and a small bouquet of flowers in the other. "These are for you."

Standing up, I make my way towards him with a big smile on my face. "Thank you. They're beautiful."

"No problem."

After I take them, he leans to kiss me. It only lasts a second before I pull away. "I have some things to figure out before the shoot and I still have to get dressed, so," I pause. "I'll talk to you later."

He nods. "Of course. Bye."

As I place my purse and the flowers on the vanity, Mason rushes to the door and leans against it, blocking Alex from leaving. "If you're not comfortable with someone else doing it, let him."

Alex looks between us in confusion as I stare at him. It's not a horrible idea. I'd be more comfortable with him but I'm not sure he'd want to. Besides that, I'm unsure of how it'll effect our current relationship. I'd be shirtless and without a bra. Then again, he has seen more intimate parts of me. Pushing my thoughts aside, I clear my throat. "Would you mind staying for a while?"

He furrows his eyebrows in confusion. "But you just said -"

"I need your help. I'm going to be wearing little clothing and I'd rather you be the man in the photo with me."

His eyes widen. "Do you mean like... naked?"

"No," I say quickly. "I'll be in jeans. Just jeans."

Finally understanding, he nods. "Okay but where do I come into this?"

"You'll have to block her breasts from view," Mason explains. "There will only be a few photos with you."

Alex looks at me hesitantly and I stick out my bottom lip, silently begging him to agree. He sighs, giving in. "Fine."

I smile. "Thanks. I'll make it up to you."

Mason opens the door and calls for someone. A young woman comes in and waits for further direction. "Take this man to dressing room two for hair and makeup," Mason says then turns to Alex. "I'll have your clothes sent to your room."

"Wait, did you say makeup?" Alex asks.

"Right this way," the woman says, leading the way.

Alex glares at Mason before following the woman out of the room.

"Justin is going to love him," Mason chuckles.

I smile. "I know. He's cute, isn't he?"

He gives me a funny look. "You might get the answer you want from Justin but not me."

I laugh. "I know."

He leaves my room and I quickly change into my clothes. I don't mind photo shoots with bikinis and stuff, but taking my bra off will be a first. I'm not exactly comfortable with it but Alex will ease my mind. My dad is going to love these ads.

As I stand between the camera and props, I wonder what my life would be like if I had stayed in Michigan. I can't picture a life their anymore since I've been here for so long.

As I'm deep in thought, I hear the shutter clicking. I hate when Justin captures me when I least expect it but those usually turn out to be the best. He has me do several poses before Alex comes into view. "Oh my. The beauty is here," Justin says, looking Alex up and down.

He's also only wearing jeans, his perfectly sculptured chest on full display. Forcing myself to look away, I glare at Justin "Are you suggesting I'm the beast?"

He chuckles. "No, babe. You're a beauty alright. Just not my type of beauty."

Mason waves Alex further into the room. "Hurry up. This jackass gets paid by the hour," he says, nodding towards Justin.

Justin only rolls his eyes before turning to me. "I had strict orders from the company so you'll need to take your bra off."

I nod before turning to Alex who is now staying beside me. "Shall I do the honors?" he whispers.

My cheeks heat and I turn around. He pushes my hair over my left shoulder and leans down so I can feel his warm breath fanning my skin. "Pretend we're the only ones here and the time will fly by."

His fingertips brush the bra strap off my shoulder and leaves a kiss in its place. Should I tell him that if we were alone I would've been out of this already? And that there would not be nearly this much control between the two of us. Just the smell of him is intoxicating but his touch brings it to a whole new level. It's a high only he can give me.
