Pure Seduction

Chapter 14

Today's photo shoot is being held at one of the most luxurious hotels in Florida. It's a five-star hotel in Miami called The Ritz-Carlton. The big boss reserved the executive suite because this is going to be one of my biggest shoots yet. After my photo shoot up here in the room, Mason said we have to meet our boss down by the beach for a surprise.

I've never really met the man so for him to want to meet me in person makes me anxious. Hopefully it's about something good because I'm not sure I can take any bad news at this point. It's been almost two weeks since I've began going to the meetings. There have been certain points in my day where I've craved a glass of wine or a beer but I've managed to push these cravings away with a distraction.

Mason leads me up to the hotel room while talking on the phone. I ignore his conversation as we enter the room. What I can see of it is really nice but there are a bunch of people in the room along with supplies for the shoot, such as lights and stands. I make my way into the bathroom to begin getting ready but stop in surprise. Justin has lights set up and aimed in the shower.

Looking around the room, I notice lights also set up around the bath tub. By the looks of it, I will be nude. I'm not really sure how I feel about it but I've come to learn that the less clothing you wear, the more money you tend to make. "Hey Justin. How do you want my hair and makeup?"

Turning around, he smiles. "Stay how you are. They want you to look natural so no makeup and no product in your hair," he says. "Just let your hair down and begin filling the tub to your liking so we can get started."

"Okay. Is it alright if I close the door?" I ask.

"Of course."

I turn the water to an appropriate temperature and allow the tub to begin filling before I close the door. Justin joins me by the tub and pours in some soap that fills the tub with bubbles and the room with the delicious scent. He walks away and I turn the water off before pulling my clothes off. I am completely comfortable with Justin because I know he's gay and he's proven to be really sweet so I don't mind these shoots as long as he's the photographer.

Sinking into the bubbles, I throw my hair over the back of the tub so it doesn't get wet just yet. I close my eyes and relax until I hear the click of a shutter. "Sorry," Juatin says with a smile. "It was just too good not to capture."

I smile slightly. "So am I supposed to do anything or just sit here?"

He bites his lip before turning away. "Just sit there for a moment while I get something."

I nod and he walks over to the double sink where his things are. Mason walks into the bathroom a moment later and gives me a towel to dry my hands with before handing me my phone. I reply to a few messages and notice mine and Alex's old texts from when Addison was here. Before the accident...

Before I can change my mind, I tap on his name. I stare at the screen as it begins calling him. Shaking my head, I quickly end the call. Why would he want to talk to me? I ruined things between us. He has already said goodbye and I need to accept that. He deserves better than me. He needs more than I can give him.

My heart skips a beat when the phone begins vibrating in my hand. Alex's name is in big bold letters on the screen. Taking a deep breath, I answer it. "Hey Alex."

"Madison. How are you?" he asks.

"I'm doing good actually. How about you?" I ask.

"I'm okay. I noticed you called. Did you need something?"

I bite my lip. "Well... I'm staying at this hotel called the Ritz-Carlton and I have this big executive suite all to myself. They usually have dinner for two sent up and..." I pause. "Well, I thought maybe you would want to have dinner so we could talk."

There's a long moment of silence before he speaks. "I don't know, Madison."

"You don't have to come here as an ex-boyfriend or anything, just as a friend. I could use one right now."

I listen closely as I hear him sigh. "Well, I'm not even near home right now so I'm not sure how long it'll take to get there. Where are you?"

"The Ritz-Carlton in Miami."

"Oh. I'm in Fort Lauderdale which is like thirty five minutes away. Is that okay?" he asks.

Smiling, I nod. "That's perfect. I'll have Mason let the front desk know you're on your way and they'll escort you up to the room. I'll see you soon."

"See ya."

Hanging up, I yell for Mason and he enters the bathroom. I give him my phone and explain to him that I am expecting Alex and that he should be here in about thirty five minutes. Once he is gone, Justin begins taking more photos while coaching me to look 'sexy and seductive' as he says. Then we move onto the shower where he takes more intimate pictures, but thankfully the photos are only taken from positions where I can cover the front of my body.

After fifteen minutes of this, I dry up and put on a bikini. Once my robe is on, I follow Mason downstairs to meet my boss with Justin tagging along with his camera. "Did you tell the front desk we'd be out here?" I ask Mason.

"Yes, Madison. You have nothing to worry about. Just relax. Your friend will be here soon."

Taking a deep breath, I nod and follow them outside.
