“I’m sorry I startled you, Miss Williams.”
“Nope. Nothing to be sorry about. I just got a little lost in my head. Thanks for walking me inside.” The two of us walk up to the building in silence. “Any new packages or letters?”
He shakes his head. “Not today.”
A sigh of relief spills from me. Maybe they’ve decided I’m more trouble than I’m worth.
I know it’s wishful thinking, but damn, it would make me happy if it were true.
“Thank you again, Ben.” I wave at him and Harrison behind the desk as I head for the elevator. “I’m going to order some dinner, but I’ll let you know where I’m ordering from as soon as I decide.”
Ben nods. “We’ll be here.”
The elevator door opens, and I step inside. As soon as it closes, I slump against the wall.
I’m trying really damn hard not to let everyone know the toll this is taking on me. I’m ready for it to be over so I can move on with my life.
Chapter Fourteen
Dani
Iturn my head from side to side, smiling as I turn around to face Helena. “I look amazing.”
“Of course you do. You’re gorgeous. You act as if I had to work hard to make you look good.” She laughs as she picks up a pair of glasses and hands them to me. “To complete the look.”
I slide them on, turning to look in the mirror once more and shaking my head. I totally have the naughty librarian thing going on right now—which is exactly what I was going for.
“Thanks again, Helena!” I give her a wave as I step out and make my way to where Chad has us set up for the photoshoot.
I love that Lorna has spared no expense with these shoots, making sure we have hair and makeup on hand so we look like professionals.
A smile spreads across my face as I take in the two separate areas set up for my photoshoot. Chad will be shooting both the bathtub scene and the bed scene for us.
“There she is.” Chad offers me a smile as he rakes a hand through his hair. “I think Maya is finishing up with hair and makeup, then we’ll be ready to go. I have Andrés, Jason, and Victor tucked away until we’re ready for them. Since you’re ready, why don’t we get started with the bathtub shots?”
I nod. “Absolutely.”
I push off the silky robe I’m wearing and lay it across a chair set off to the side. All I’m wearing is a sheer rose-pink button-down, tied under my tits, that matches the glasses perched on my face, a lacy black thong, and a pair of black heels.
“Oh, yes. This will work out very well.” Chad nods, tossing me a copy of Jason’s book. “I still don’t know how you pulled off getting J.B. Grigg’s permission for this, but I’m so excited about this.”
I laugh as I approach the empty tub. “You and me both. Where do you want me?”
“Hmmm…let’s take a few shots of you sitting on the edge of the tub, then inside. I’ll probably have you play with yourself a little while you’re still clothed before you strip down, and we’ll do some poses with you naked.”
“Sounds good.” I perch on the edge of the tub with one leg extended as I lift the book and open to a random page.
Chad hums, taking a few shots. “Can you lean back for me? Hold on to the tub with your free hand. That should help you with your balance. Perfect. Arch your back for me?”
I lick my lips following his instructions as he snaps photo after photo. Finally, he helps me climb into the tub and helps me arrange myself until he’s happy.
After a few more minutes, he puts the camera down again. “Why don’t you undo your top? Let it trail around your body.We’ll take a few shots of the book in the air while you read. Then, I want you to bring the book down to cover your breasts. Maybe you can play with the glasses a bit.”
“Sure.” I quickly undo the tie and the couple of buttons on the shirt before letting the sides fall to the tub. Chad does some rearranging before lifting his camera once more. I drop the book when he tells me to, covering my tits as best as I can with the book and staring into the camera with a smirk painting my lips.
“Oh, yeah. That’s a good one.”
When he tells me to touch myself through the thong, some anxiousness hits me. Not about touching myself in front of Chad—he’s such a professional. No, I’m more worried about my ability to get wet while we’re doing this.
