Picture Perfect

Chapter 13

HARRY'S POV:

I hold Toni in my arms after the most incredible sex I've experienced in some time. My reputation of being a player is so untrue, but if I dare say that in the public arena, I'll just fuel the fire. I look down at her and see how content she is in her sleep, the smile on her lips. Lips that are now very pink and full. A replay of last night's event rolls through my mind and I feel a warmth spread through my body.

When we wake up in the morning, she is still pressed against me and sleeping peacefully. I don't want to move, yet I also don't want to overstay my welcome.

I tighten my grip on her waist and feel her body begin to stir awake. She and I are both completely naked. It feels good. No, it feels perfect. I've never really enjoyed the snuggling after sex, especially if I'm being chased by paparazzi. This feels like something I could do every night and be undeniably happy.

As she stirs her legs stretch as does her body. Her ass presses against my rapidly hardening cock. It's just an automatic response to her. My fingers want to touch her soft skin and I allow them to do so. She yawns and stretches and presses her head against my chest.

"Good Morning, Harry" she says in a quiet and deep voice. Damn, that voice is sexy. I wonder if the screaming she did last night could have anything to do with it.

"Morning, Angel. I take it you slept well?" I ask her.

She turns around so she faces me and snuggles into my chest. "I slept so well, Harry. You tired me out, in the best possible way of course" she giggles and presses her face into my chest where I feel the heat from her blushing. God, she is too adorable.

"Well I am happy you slept well."

"How about you, Harry? Did you sleep okay? I know it can be strange waking up with someone if you aren't accustomed to it."

"I couldn't be happier than I am at this moment, snuggled with you. Any plans for the day, love?"

She stretches her neck and snuggles back up against me.

"I guess I need to start getting ready for our shoot. I'll need to speak with Anne and Gemma to see what day is going to work for them; and you too of course."

"Oh, I'll be available whenever you want me, make no mistake." I tell her.

"Hmm, what time is it anyway? I don't see my phone

"Mm, not sure – it must be past 7am" I tell her, reaching for my phone. Just as I am about to pick it up, the ringer begins playing. Someone is calling. I recognize the ringer. It's Jeff.

Toni glances at me as she gets out of bed and slips a silk robe over her naked body. "Guess you better answer that. I'll go downstairs and get coffee or tea started, you have a preference?" she asks.

"Tea if you don't mind." I reply.

She nods her head and walks out of the bedroom.

"Hello?"

"Hey Harry, where have you been? I've been trying to reach you since yesterday."

"I have a life you know, Jeff. What is so important?" I ask rather impatiently.

"Well, the firm thinks it might be good if we get some shots of you with a new girlfriend" he explains. "I think we have this gal who will be good. She's not controversial and she's sweet. You may actually like her."

"Jeff, why? I did this all before and I'm done with it. I'll find my own friends and especially my own girlfriends."

"Don't you even want to know who it is?" he asks me as if trying to goad me into asking.
