“Sorry, Kallie. I didn’t intend to fuck up the shoot. I’ve just never had a woman grab my cock before while shooting.” I whip my head to Melanie.
“Melanie, what the fuck? You know better than to pull some shit like that. We are done. Go get Brinley.” I’m so fucking pissed. The pictures were stunning, and she had to go fuck it all up.
“Kallie, please. I’m sorry, I just let the moment sweep me away.” I shake my head in disgust. What the models do on their own time is their business, but when I am shooting them, I will never allow one to be uncomfortable and Jax is now. I can see it on his face. Not to mention, she grabbed his cock. What the fuck!
“Melanie, we are done. Go.” She shakes her head and walks up the beach.
“Jax, I am so sorry. I don’t know what the fuck to say.” He takes two steps closer to me, putting him pretty much as cl
ose to me as they just were.
“I’m sorry. I should have just continued, but it shocked me. I feel like an asshole for ruining the shot.” I’m overcome with his body heat and the intensity in his eyes. I feel my nipples getting hard when he rubs my arm. I can’t even speak; I’m so mesmerized with this man. I know I need to back away to break this trance, but I can’t, I’m glued in place. He moves his hand down to mine and grabs it, squeezing lightly, never once breaking eye contact. He pokes out his tongue the slightest bit, wetting his lips, and I realize I’m biting mine.
“Shit, what the fuck happened?” Boom! That’s the bursting of this sexual bubble I was just surrounded in. I pull my hand away from Jax as quickly as possible and spin around to Brinley.
“What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Nothing happened.” Guilt, that right there is guilt talking. Never, ever have I been so fucking stupid as to let my guard down with one of my models. I am disgusted with myself for even thinking for a moment what it would be like to be fucked by this God of men.
“Nothing happened? Then why the fuck is Melanie up there freaking out?” Oh, fuck, shit, right, Melanie. Oh my God, she was talking about Melanie, not me. “Jax, here, I figured with this drama you could use a cigarette.” He grabs it from her and lights right up.
“Damn, thanks.” He walks a bit away from us, and Brinley raises her eyebrows at me.
“I was shooting and Jax yelled. Turns out grabby up there got a hold of his cock and decided to give it a nice squeeze.” She opens her eyes so wide I can’t even see her lids.
“Holy shit.” I nod my head, agreeing with her. “So what, you told her to take a hike?” I blow out a breath trying to regain complete control of my body still.
“Pretty much. She said she was caught up in the moment, but I’m not about to have a model uncomfortable.” She laughs and looks behind me, I’m assuming to see where Jax is.
“Kallie, I’ve been butt ass naked with a model in a bed, shower, tub, you name it, and never have cock grabbed, no matter how in the moment I am. She’s full of shit and you know it. She wants in his pants. It’s as simple as that.
“I know that, I’m not a fucking idiot.” I look at Jax who is blowing smoke out of his mouth, staring out into the ocean. He looks in deep thought, and I really hope that is because of Melanie. I just need to finish this up. It’s been a long day, and we all need to get home. Turning back to Brinley, I smile. “I want a few shots of you and Jax, and then we will do a couple of everyone again at sunset. I know everyone is exhausted. It’s been a long day.”
“Always right back to work. You don’t stop for a minute.” I lift my shoulders and adjust my camera around my neck.
“You know me.” Just as I turn to go get Jax, he walks over to us. He gives me an almost shy smile when he reaches us. “You better now? Ready to do a few shots with Brinley?” I just need to finish this shoot because I’m extremely frustrated with myself at this point.
“I’m fine. Are you alright?” Please, stop being so sweet; stop looking at me with those telling eyes.
“I’m great. Let’s do this before we lose light, alright?” I turn away from him. “Brin, let’s go.” She pulls off her sundress, revealing a black-and-white striped bikini that shows off her amazing body. These two work perfectly together. I told them to be sexy and just let them at it. The photos I’ve gotten are spectacular. I especially love this last one I’m shooting of them. He’s on top of her, pinning her hands above her head. She has an innocent look, and he has a hard expression. Stunning. “Perfect guys, seriously amazing.” Jax stands up and puts out his hand to help Brinley up. Of course, he does. I just want to get these final shots and rest my overactive mind. I turn and wave everyone down so I can do just that. They all make their way down, and I tell everyone to make these last few photos serious, not goofy. Melanie, thankfully, stays at one end and Jax at the other. They all get together in the perfect arrangement and all look at me completely serious while I snap away. The sun is setting behind them, giving me the most brilliant pink backdrop. After taking several pictures, I let my camera hang on my neck. “Let me first say thank you. You have all been amazing, and the photos are spectacular. I know we are all exhausted. It’s been a long ass day. I appreciate your commitment to this and for sticking it out with me. Now get the hell out of here, go home, and crash.” I get a ton of hugs and kisses before they all finally leave.
I pack up all my lenses and put my camera in the bag. I throw that on my shoulder and go to grab the bag with all my other crap in it. “I’ve got that.” I know it’s Jax without even looking up. I close my eyes and blow out a breath. I straighten up and smile at him.
“You don’t need to do that. I told you I’m used to this.” He picks up the bag and winks at me.
“Oh well. Where are you parked?” He has to know nothing can happen here. It’s against everything I stand for and not just me, all photographers.
“I’m right up here.” I just walk and let him follow me. Thankfully, since I was the first one here, I am parked close. I unlock my Jeep and put the camera bag on the passenger seat before turning to look at him. He grins at me and my stomach tightens. He hands me the bag, and I toss it next to the camera bag, willing him to leave quickly. No such luck. When I turn around again, he is leaning on the Jeep with his arms crossed.
“It was one hell of a shoot today.” I close the door and lean on it, copying his position.
“Thank you. I couldn’t have been happier with the way things went.” I look at him and he smiles. “Well, minus the Melanie incident. Again, I’m so sorry about that. Nothing like that has ever happened with any of my models before. I hope that doesn’t deter you from working with me in the future.” He laughs, and I find myself joining him.
“Kallie, believe me, a little cock grabbing isn’t going to keep me from working with you. I am looking forward to the next time. You are definitely one of the most intriguing photographers I’ve ever worked with.” The compliment feels amazing, especially coming from him. He’s worked with some of the biggest photographers I know.
“This is my life, everything I’ve ever wanted. So when you say something like that, it truly is a huge compliment. Thank you.” He is searching my face, for what, I have no idea. I blink and look away though because it’s feeling too intimate. “I really need to get going. I have plans tomorrow, so I need to get these photos uploaded tonight.” He pushes off the Jeep and stands in front of me. Not as close as earlier, but too close nonetheless.
“What plans do you have tomorrow? Dinner with your boyfriend?” I can’t help but burst out laughing. It catches me completely off guard. He raises his eyebrows and gives me that smirk.
“Shit, I’m sorry. No, no dinner plans with the boyfriend. No boyfriend. I have a shoot with my brother and his family.” He becomes completely serious, searching my face again. I really wish he’d stop doing that shit.
