A Deal With The Idol

Chapter XI

Lyra's P.O.V
For a moment, I completely stopped breathing as I saw Ash stepped out of the door. Seeing him now, I noticed his whole body was filled with tattoos, and I took the time to admire them, seeing different types of them cover every inch of his body.

The stylists made some adjustments to his hair, making him look like he just got up from bed and I couldn't control myself from seeing him just a tiny bit hotter. His face was dabbed on with some simple makeup, and I realized his mole on the side of his face was covered too. He wore blue contacts, covering his black eyes, and it made me remember how different he looked like from school.

Usually at school, he would sometimes wear glasses, and his hair would be styled in another way. His mole would be visible, and the tattoos he had would be covered with the leather jackets he wears.

"Are you done checking me out Roo?" He called me out, and I looked up at him with my cheeks flush.

"I wasn't checking you out." I stubbornly protested, looking away.

"Of course you weren't." He chuckled, his eyes trailing to my body before looking away.

"Let's go." He said and I trailed after him to the set where everyone was waiting.

"OK guys, today we're doing a photo shoot for a lingerie company so I need you guys to have some spice together. Lust, desire, I want them all. Show the viewers that you guys are in love like hell." Mr David announced, enthusiastically looking at the both of us, cheering us on.

"If you guys are ready, let's get this photo shoot started." He clapped his hands and everyone started working, preparing the props.

I followed one of the staffs where she was waiting for me for my final touches, but before I could leave, Ash stopped me.

"Roo wait." He stepped closer, his hands reaching out as he grabbed my clothes to cover the cleavage that was showing, a serious expression on his face.

I looked at him weirdly, not knowing what he was up to by being so nice to me.

"I'm just helping because there's lots of guys here so you might want to be careful..." He spoke up, as almost he read my mind.

"And besides, if you get eye raped later, I can't help. So consider yourself lucky I'm helping you with this right now." He snickered, pulling my robe tighter, making me glare at him.

"I'm kidding. You look beau-"

"Nice. You look nice." He finished, looking away to cover up the fact he almost called me beautiful. I smirked, seeing his ears turn red as he turned away to go onto set. I followed after.

Ash and I got on set, I could feel everyone's stares on me and I started getting nervous.

"You guys ready?" Mr David shouted from behind the camera, crossing his legs together.

The both of us nodded and he gestured to the photographer to start capturing photos. I just stood there nervously, not knowing what to do until Ash grabbed hold of my hand.

"Just follow my lead." He whispered and I nodded.

He proceeded to sit on a chair that was provided for the set, lifting me by the waist as he sat down, pulling me up to sit on his lap. 

"Just relax." He reassured me as I felt my breath hitch at the sudden contact.

He buried his face at the crook of my neck, wrapping his arms around my waist and I tensed up, feeling the place where Ash's hands held burn up.

"Lyra, look at the camera." I heard the photographer shouted in front and I tried my best to put on my best face.

"That's it guys. Keep on going." He muttered, snapping his camera.
