Page 100 of To Love Jason Thorn

He finally lifted his eyes to meet my gaze.“You don’t need instructions for a photo shoot, Olive. Just be yourself, andI’ll handle the rest of it.”

Photo shoot.Every time I heard the word, I started shaking all over again.

Apparently, Megan’s idea of announcing ourhappy marriage to the world was to announce it through the most fucking popularwomen’s magazine on the planet. I learned that there had been a talk of doing alive interview, but thankfully that idea hadn’t taken hold. A photo shoot wasthe lesser evil in my book, but it didn’t mean I was over the moon with that outcomeeither, especially when I learned about it the morning of.

“We’re here,” Alvin announced as our carstopped in front of a relatively small industrial building.

I released a big breath and exited the carafter them.

“Holy crap!” I whispered when we stepped insidethe building. It was a fully furnished loft, and it looked spectacular—apartfrom all the people running around, that is. As I took in everything around me,I forgot all about my nervousness. Putting his hand on the small of my back,Jason guided me farther in.

Seconds later, before I could take in myfill, Alvin was walking toward us with quick steps and a woman by his side.

When had he even left our side?

I forgot all about the loft and focused on thewoman next to him. By the time they were standing in front of us, she hadpractically eye-fucked Jason and had a salacious grin on her face.

“Hello, Mr. Thorn.” Jason reached for thewoman’s outstretched hand and shook it.

“Please, call me Jason. It’s Julie, right?”

Her grin turned brighter when she realizedJason remembered her name.

She nodded. “Yes. We are so excited to workwith you today.”

Finally, they let go of their hands and shecontinued. “Our makeup and hair stations are ready for the both of you. As soonas you’re ready we can begin the shoot and then the interview will take place onthe first floor, after we have the shots.”

I cleared my throat and caught herattention.

At last.

Her cheeks flushed, but only slightly.“Nice to meet you, Olive. I’m Julie.”

I shook her hand and tried to give her agenuine smile. “Nice to meet you, too, Julie.”

She clapped her hands once. “Okay. Let metake you to hair and makeup, then I’ll introduce you to our photographer.” Shewas still talking directly to Jason. Apparently, I was just an afterthought.

Jason grabbed my hand and my heart gave asmall jump. I was getting used to the annoying thing catching me off guard; Ikept telling myself that he was just a guy, but the heart wants what it wants,right? Well, mine was dead set on throwing itself at Jason’s feet until hepicked it up for himself.

Loser heart of mine.

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes andtrailed after them.

Almost two freaking hours later, we werefinally ready. Thankfully, they kept my makeup on the lighter side, murmuring thatthey were after a natural look since I was already a ‘nobody’. Okay, maybe theydidn’t use exactly those words, but, trust me, the meaning was there.

Whatever. I rocked the natural look.

Then started the wardrobe decisions. Therewere racks of clothing. Racks. They spent more than an hour deciding onthe right wardrobe for us. At one point, they asked me if I’d be okay withbeing covered up in a white sheet while Jason was half naked, but Jason vetoedthat idea before I could. Considering they ended up choosing only threeoutfits, the whole process seemed a bit excessive to me. Then again, what did Iknow?

The first outfit we all agreed on was a dresssimilar to the one I’d worn at the London premiere. Nothing too risqué, not toomuch cleavage, not too much legs, but definitely a little playful. The secondone was for a casual look they were going for with black jeans and a whitet-shirt that would be tied at the back, showcasing a bit of my stomach.

The third outfit…that one was my favoriteof them all. It was white, backless, had cutouts in the front, and was veryformfitting.

It was perfection.

How it would look on me? I had no idea.

They wanted me in the third one first. Agirl from the team came to my side and hurriedly showed me into a makeshiftfitting room where I could change into the dress.
