My mind analyzes how close I am getting to her, how easy it would be to kiss her, to feel the warmth of her skin on mine.

I pause, giving us both room to breathe as I address Theo and Lacey.

“You need to stop thinking about where your hands should go and instead think about where you would put them if the camera wasn’t here,” I say low enough for only us to hear.

I run my mouth along the side of her face, letting my lips brush against her, giving in to only half of my desire. Then my fingers find their way around her throat and the blood in my brain vacates, racing to my cock that is less than an inch away from rutting into her.

“Picture the two of you in a hotel elevator, and it won’t get to your floor fast enough. I want to see the passion, the desire, the need to be close to her,” I continue, hooking Carter’s leg around my hip and moving my hips dangerously close to hers. I can feel her chest rising and falling at a pace mine matches, her warm breath blowing against my neck.

I can’t let them know this is affecting me and that I wanted to be in this position from the moment I got on set today. It needs to look like this is a way to clarify the look for the shoot, not my spank bank. Nailed it.

She smells like fresh coffee and something sweet, maybe banana bread. I could eat her for fucking breakfast and be a happy man. It has been a while since I wanted a woman like this, my mouth is practically watering over her. It's not just her scent but how her body is already reacting to me.

I'm not even trying to get her in the mood but it's happening and there's no way I plan to stop it. I can't act on it but the fucked up part of my brain wants her to crave me as much as I crave her.

Todayisthefirstday with Theo, the male model slotted to work along with Lacey for some looks in the spread. He had some scheduling conflict that made him miss the first few days but I'm hopeful they will hit it off. The cast and crew have already locked down routines and workflow, like a ship run by Jack Sparrow. Wait, maybe that's a bad analogy. Although there hasn't been any mutiny yet and we are all doing our part to ensure we aren't thrown overboard.

Theo has finished with his prep, which includes some strategic makeup application to make his abdominals visible from space. He looks too young to be ripped like that. He must have gone to the gym instead of high school or something. I can see why they chose him for this shoot, his baby face paired with his chiseled body is perfection.

Lacey joins us on set, her elegant mint gown from the past few days now replaced with a sensual silk piece that cuts just above her knee. This outfit takes things from an elegant purse and belt advertisement to a sensual and intimate diamond display. The creamy white fabric against her soft caramel skin even has me licking my lips and trying not to drool on myself.

We have bonded over the small amount of downtime she gets during the shoot. I am shocked to learn this is her first time modeling considering how natural she is in front of the camera. BK has contributed to that in strides with how he talks to her, soft and helpful. Given everything I read about his demeanor, I expected him to be harsh and cruel. I can't help but wonder if it's him that changed or if it's the company that has allowed him to ease up. She has taken every direction from him and incorporated it into her flow flawlessly. She adds her unique spin to it and it's better than even BK expected. It catches me off guard how often I catch him praising her for her creativity and prowess in her craft.

When I look at BK, curious if Lacey's new look affects him, he isn’t even looking at her. His eyes are cast down and locked on his phone. I’m surprised considering his reputation, but also slightly relieved that he seems immune to a beautiful girl in a short dress. Theo, however, looks like he is going to pass out from the blood rushing from his brain. They dressed him down, rocking only a pair of jeans low on his hips, showing off every single muscle they drew onto his abdomen. I didn’t know there were that many. Maybe they made some extras.

Lacey is looking him over too, a heat in her eyes as they graze lower and lower on his body. BK’s voice thundering over the set snaps all of our attention to him.

“Alright guys, we are working against the clock. Junior here needs to get back to his Mommy before the streetlights come on,” he attempts as a joke. No one else seems to find the humor in him belittling the leading man. I attempt to oblige him and stay on his good side, letting out a small giggle. It causes some curious glances from other workers on set, but I know they will understand.

“You heard the man. Let’s get things going. Lacey and Theo, front and center. Can we get one more touch-up from the makeup team? Then we should be ready for action,” I rush out, knowing I am for sure stepping on his toes. My brain can hardly keep up knowing that I get to observe his work finally. I have been waiting for this all week.

“Lacey, I need you against this wall for me,” he explains, guiding our main couple into place. “This is your first time working with Theo, I know, but I need you to bring the chemistry. Make it look like you are trying hard to resist him, but giving in just a little.”

She follows directions well, moving as asked once the makeup team has deemed her perfection. Her hair kisses along the middle of her back, waved just enough to give it bounce as she walks towards BK. As she moves past him, Theo looks like he forgot how to breathe, color draining from his cheeks faster than the makeup team can add the flush back to them.

Without too much thought, I go over to him, my hand resting on his shoulder. “Theo, you can do this. They cast you for a reason, bring your confidence, show her off and you will do just fine,” I tell him with a reassuring whisper. I keep my tone low to prevent others around us from hearing my pep talk. I don’t want the rest of the crew to think he isn’t capable of doing this.

BK looks at me. My tone must not be as quiet as I thought. His eyebrows raise as if what I am doing will impact him somehow. I nod knowingly, removing my hand from Theo’s shoulder, and pushing him towards Lacey.

He approaches her slowly, and I am surprised when he doesn’t say a word as he nestles between her legs. BK picks up his camera and the lights begin their dance along the barren backdrop, illuminating the couple with the exact angles to mimic true sunlight and cast gorgeous shadows along the wall.

The outfits look stunning together. The movement Lacey is bringing sets the tone for the entire scene. A rookie with a masterful eye for her craft. The chemistry, though, is lukewarm. It’s not for lack of trying, but Theo is not hitting the poses to match how she is moving. His hands look awkward where they sit on her hips, his lips stiff instead of relaxed like he is going in for a sensual, familiar kiss.

The flashes stop their lightning rhythm and I see BK place his camera down next to himself on the warehouse floor. He stays sitting for a moment before raising himself and moving toward the couple. I can see the panic in Lacey’s eyes, and I know she is trying her best to make this partnership work.

I’m sitting far enough back that I can’t hear what BK is saying to them, but there is no mistaking when he motions for me to join them. I move from my chair quickly, not knowing what I could add to this moment.

“Against the wall, Carter,” he says without hesitation or even saying please. I have no clue where this is going. I do as I’m told, a question mark plastered across my features. Theo and Lacey move back, making it easier to watch me. I can feel all eyes on me and I am hit with the same panic I saw in Lacey moments ago.

BK moves closer, pushing his knee between my thighs to pin me against the wall. I let out a gasp, and he turns towards our audience.

“You need to stop thinking about where your hands should go and instead think about where you would put them if the camera wasn’t here. Picture the two of you in a hotel elevator and it won’t get to your floor fast enough. I want to see the passion, the desire, the need to be close to her,” he continues his words as he moves his hands along my body, brushing his lips along my neck and making my whole body tense at his touch.

Lacey was giving all the love to the camera and I am thankful no one is holding a camera right now because my face is 73% shock, 22% lust, and 5% ‘omg this is my boss’. Before I know what I am doing, I move my hand along his arm, digging into it with my fingertips as he moves his hand lower to cup my thigh.

Moving my leg higher up puts his hip bones directly in line with mine and if he would get only a little closer, I imagine I could feel something rock hard. He pulls my leg and locks it on top of his hip. Once it is there, he slams his hand against the wall next to my head. I try to keep my panting to a minimum while he presses against my chest.

His lips dance along mine, his breath fanning along my parted lips, drinking him in. He says nothing as he moves into various poses, showing the onlookers how to make it look like you are about to rip each other’s clothes off. I try to push my fingers into his hair, knowing that would convey the same message, but his beanie is blocking me. Lockblocking. I think about tugging it off his head to take some measure of control away from him, but I am too late.
