Exploring

-Nine-

"Remember, if all else fails be attentive to the faces and reactions of everything around you. Precision is key in this line of work rookie." That was the first thing I learned from the one and only "Queen of seduction" on my first day at the TK Modeling company. It was one of the biggest companies around. Of course I was no longer the shy and inexperienced rookie that I was when I first arrived. Since I was such a fast learner I rose in the ranks and was one of the rookies that got some exposure to actually modelling instead of going over poses and proper techniques. Today however all rookies were going to get some more exposure and the top model of the company "The Prince Of Darkness" Would choose one of us to work with and kind of be like a mentor to as well. We would also get a lot more exposure and experience. When I was called into the room where the photoshoot was taking place I felt a wave of shock actually seeing him standing by the computer where the pictures would come up. His dark hair was parted nicely and over one eyebrow, his lips drawn in a straight line and his dark eyes unreadable. He wore a dark silk shirt with dark black jeans that clung to his thigh finishing off his look with a pair of dark shoes as well. Now I understood how he got his name. His chest was semi exposed.. Which made my heart pound faster as I stood in my place waiting for instructions.

Photographer: "Please take your spot and pose. This will be a series of two shots, the lights will flash and then the photo will be taken. Please get in your position if you are ready Mr..?"

I finished my name for him, never leaving eye contact with the prince.

Nine: "Nine sir."

He nodded at me and poined to were he wanted to stand. The Prince went over to watch the computer leaning down he exposed more skin making my mind go blank momentarily then I regained my composure. I did as I was told to do, I lifted my chin a little and slightly parted my lips, then I lightly moved my shirt to expose my collar bone. Knowing I now had the Prince's eyes on my chest made me feel more confident.

A light smirk played on the Prince's lips when the photo was taken. He said something to photographer who nodded back to him. The Prince then walked over to me. I met his gaze and inhaled sharply at how close he was to me. He didn't speak as he lifted his hand while his fingers lightly brushed against my exposed skin gently trailing and dancing slightly down my exsposed chest covering it while lightly going for the buttons of my shirt to button it up a little more.

Prince: "Sit."

I nodded to him and sat down like I was told to do. Sitting there I watched as the Prince got down in a low squatting position. He lightly held my lower back with one hand while the other was on my now less revealing chest to straighted my back. I didn't say anything as he put me in the postion he wanted me to pose in. I lightly rested my elbow on my knee and let him take my wrist gently resting it on my neck while my other hand rested across my knee in a relaxed position. He then lightly fixed my hair, his breath tickling my skin ever so slightly. 

Prince: "Perfect."

I wasn't sure it was meant to be heard but he nodded and went back to his place by the camera. He looked over to the photographer who clearly was shy all of a sudden. I felt shy as well but knew how to conceal it. God he'd been SO close, I could feel the warmth of his body, the way his fingers had danced so gently over each part of my body that he had touched. Once it was finished I got back to my feet and met his eyes again, feeling much more shy than I had been before I came in here. Once I left I felt how fast my heart was going and I was met by Kat, Queen of Seduction. She was in a black dress that came to her mid thigh, two v like cut outs were at the waist of her dress and it exposed some skin. It came down slightly above her breast. she wore red lipstick and dark purple makeup and finishing her look was her laced heels. If I liked females or could have been, I'd be aroused by the sight of her. She did look nice though.

Kat: "Oh, Nine. How did it go?"

I felt my cheeks heating up as I walked with her to remove her makeup, I assumed she did a photo shoot as well.

Nine: "The prince himself was there, since the photoshoot was for him to choose who to work with... And at first I paid close attention like you said but... He looked so.. Hot. I did the first pose and then he came and instructed me a bit.. He just-.."

She raised her eyebrow at me and looked confused for a moment.

Kat: "Which prince? Earth or Joong?"

I didn't know them by name so I shrugged lightly and she noticed it, turning her head a bit so the staff could remove the rest of her makeup as she let out a soft sigh.

Kat: "Dark or light? In other words did he smile or no."

Did he? Yeah... He did. He had smirked but I knew for a fact it was the Prince of darkness. Since that was what we were doing, letting him choose who to work with. Yet, she didn't know that. Just knew us rookies had a test photoshoot.

Nine: "Prince of Darkness."

Her eye brows knitted together, showing the confusion in her dark brown eyes, making my interest piqued of why.

Kat: "He's never been one to instruct before. How did he do it?"

Once again I felt shy and she picked up on this.

Nine: "touch."

Lightly she waved her hand to tell the staff working with her to leave so she did and Kat turned to fully face me.

Kat: "What do you mean by touch Nine? Did he show you physically or move your body to fit what he wanted?"

I lightly touched my shirt remembering the light and feather-like touch of his soft fingers each time they grazed my skin, the dark eyes staring directly at my skin as he fixed how he wanted me to be, the honey skin of his chest with each movement. I wanted to draw it, to entrap and enclose it in my memory... Yet I didn't know why.

Nine: "He fixed my shirt how he wanted it and told me to sit. From there he moved my limbs and body on his own and lead my to what he wanted."

She nodded and patted my head very softly, knowing how shy and embarrassed I was feeling. She was honestly my only friend here and she was also my senior.

Kat: "Okay Rookie. I have faith in you, also don't you have afternoon classes to get to?"

Crap, I forgot. I bowed to her lightly before rushing out to  go change into my school clothes, which were a bit more comfortable to me before I got on my bike to leave for school.
