Love Behind the Lens Chapter 62
ValentineI had to shake off the feelings I had yesterday from spending time with Adira and my father. It was just that Adira was so easy to be around and excitement and passion that she had was contagious. When she showed us her private collection I was blown away. The work I'd seen from her before had been great but this stuff was just breathtaking. I wasn't sure she was going to give me Petra's address but I was even more glad that she was actually taking over her apartment above the gallery. I knew she'd be safe there and that she'd actually get anything I'd sent her - like the flowers I'd sent over today. I couldn't wait to see Petra and push aside these wierd feelings I was having for Adira. I had messaged Petra earlier asking if she'd like a ride to the resturant but she declined. Not that I wasn't expecting that. She liked her independence and I was actually enjoying it too. The fact that she wasn't always depending on me to provide for her was refreshing.I'd gotte

AdiraI could barely stand when Valentine helped me out of his car in front of the gallery. When I wobbled a little he laughed and pulled me close giving my legs a minute to adjust to holding up my weight. Valentine didn't do anything by half measure that's for sure. I can definately see why woman practically throw themselves at him. There's just something about a dominant man that just irresistable.I cupped his check as he looked down at me and raised up on my tippy toes to bring our lips together. When I pulled back he was smiling and leaning into my hand. "I had the best time tonight," I said smiling back at him. His smile turned into a knowing smirk and I laughed before rolling my eyes at him. "I did too bella and I can't wait to see you Friday. Dinner again but this time at my place," he said.I raised a brow at him before replying. "Really Valentine I'm not sure-."He cut me off. "I've never invited a woman back to my place before. Ever. The only woman whose even st

ValentineI woke with a smile on my face. I had my schedule rearranged so I'd be off early today - at 3- so I plenty of time to get ready. I was actually going to cook tonight - my dad's lasagna recipe. I'd asked Laura to pick up the ingredients for me and when she asked why I'd told her I had a date coming over tonight. Her smile was huge and I laughed when she wiggled her eyebrows at me, telling me she'd make sure I had clean sheets too. I told her to take off early today as well and to enjoy her weekend. She'd been amazing since Id' been living here. One of the few women who I wasn't related to who hadn't made a pass at me. She had been happily married to Fernando for 30 years now and they had 5 kids that they were sending to college. Last summer her middle son had even interned for me. He was a good kid and smart. I gave him a glowing review, which is something I don't do often.I was glad she liked the roses I'd sent. Most women liked flowers but Petra was different

AdiraI was a nervous wreck though I wasn't sure why. I mean it was only Valentine. I had really enjoyed our dates so far and couldn't wait to see him in his natural habitat so to speak. I'd chosen a simplier dress to tonight feeling like dressing up too much to go to his apartment would be silly and over the top. I hoped he wasn't too dressy either.As I sat in the back seat I fiddled with the hem of my peach colored dress. I'd worn my hair down and had on nudge wedges. I had done up the make up as I felt like that was more part of my disguise than what I actually wore. I was as ready as I was going to be. I'd spoken to Sebastian earlier in the day while I had been finalizing the photos from Tuesday's shoot. I had actually worked diligently enough that I had completed all the edits and Adrian would be sending them off in the morning. I made sure that Charlie had gone out and that I left the tv on for him just in case. I didn't have anything specific planned with Valentin

ValentineI appreciated her changing the subject but was surprised when she asked me about the photos. "So out of all the ones that have been in your father's office why these?" Petra asked."This will probably sound strange but I find a quiet peacefulness in them. The colors are so vibrant and she captured the play of light through the trees perfectly. When I look at them I feel like I'm there, like I could just reach out and touch a leaf," I said before looking down at my almost empty plate. I probably sounded like a wierdo right now."She would love to know that you feel that way. That's what an artist hopes for - for others to be able to experience and feel what they felt," she replied and I looked up at her, our eyes locking. I could read the honesty in her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief that she understood what I had meant."You should see Adira's private collection. I've only seen some of it but let me tell you it was amazing. Well maybe you have seen them," I laug

AdiraOh my god. I knew Valentine would be heavenly but lord. From his confident smirk and broad shoulders, down his hair covered pecks that led into his happy trail that led to a package I couldn't wait to unwrap, this man was sin. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest and my hands were itching for my camera. I wanted him with a passion and I couldn't wait to see what he would do.I sat up and unzipped the side of my dress before rising to my knees to take it off. My breasts bounced free - the dress I wore gave enough support that even with my large breasts I didn't need to wear one. And now I was sitting her on Valentine's bed in just my panties.He prowled closer until he was leaning over me, his hands on the bed beside me as he pressed his lips to mine. He pulled back and said "Lay in the middle."I scotted back on the bed until I was closer to the center and then he crawled on the bed lining up his hips with mine. He took my hands and placed them above my head, hold

ValentineFuck. I gently pulled out and lowered Petra's legs back to the bed before standing and walking to the bathroom to dispose of the condom. My legs felt slightly unsteady but I shook it off before returning to the bed with a wash cloth. I could see Petra's chest still heaving as she worked to catch her breath, her eyes half closed and a soft smile on her face. In that moment she never looked more beautiful. I cleaned her up and then joined her, pulling her to my chest and settling the sheet over both of us. No words were needed and I stroked her hair as I felt her breathing even out. I watched her sleep for a little bit as I tried to sort out how I was feeling. Finally sleep claimed me though I was no more settled. I was awkened a few hours later as she pressed her ass against my semi erect cock. We were spooning with my hand on her breast. I rolled her nipple between my fingers and a low moan told me she was awake. "Mmm, you're suck a tease Petra," I whispered a

AdiraI felt like I needed an ice pack for my coochy after a full night with Valentine. But it had been worth it. We'd showered quickly together and I knew that I'd carry more than his scent with me on my trip. Luckily I'd packed and had everything ready in my truck so when I'd returned to the apartment all I needed to do was feed and walk Charlie as well as change into my Adira gear and we were off.Once at the airport I finally had a few moments to think over my night with him. I was pretty sure I was sitting there waiting with a big goofy grin on my face, especially when I got a text from him making sure I made it to the airport on time. I thanked him and told him I'd call him tonight from the hotel.Valentine had been amazing. He had been so in tune with what I wanted even before I knew what that was. And three times! Oh my god. He'd even been semi erect again when we'd gotten out of the shower. A sight that was beyond tempting. His body was truly a work of art. Being

Love Behind the Lens Chapter 127 - Epilogue 2
AdiraI was nervous for tonight. I'd waited til the last possible moment to fly home and had spent every waking moment over the last two days moving photos around and making sure every detail was good to go for this event. Adrian as always had been God sent organizing everything and keeping things moving here while I had been away in Greece for the last 2 and a half months. I almost didn't want to come back it was so majestic there. I had come up with an idea for the next show - which I'd shared with Adrian when I'd gotten back. The show we were doing today had drawn enough attention that we actually sold tickets for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, though I'd only be attending Friday's. My brother had gotten weekend leave to come and see my show and I was excited to have him with me."Do I really have to wear this?" he asked, tugging at his shirt collar and tie. I laughed and walked over to straighten them out before replying "Yes. Even I dress up for my shows. There's going t
Love Behind the Lens Chapter 126 - Epilogue 1
Valentine2 months.It's been 2 months since I've seen her, since I've kissed her, since I've heldd her in my arms. 2 months of antagonizing over every little piece of our relationship. I was so angry at first but seeing her face when Stella had been all over me had broken my heart. Something I didn't think possible at the time. I'd still been angry and unsure when my father forced me to read the letter she'd dropped of for me when she left. She left - heading to a completely different contenent. She'd written to explain how Petra had come to be, about her past, about what happened between her and Sebastian. It had taken everything in me to not go to his office and beat the living shit out of him for what he did. Even though I was mad at her, she hadn't deserved that. But now, after two months, I'd had plenty of time to sort through my feelings. And in some ways to sort of see things from her point of view. I was still a little mad and a little hurt, but I understood. I

AdiraI felt lighter driving from Sebastian's office to Gio's. I was glad that I'd had the chance to speak to him. This next conversation would be even easier and even though I would miss our weekly dinners, I had enough months traveling that this was nothing new.I parked in the spot I usually did and spotted Tony waiting on Gio. It was almost lunch time. He saw me and waved before getting out to unlock the elevator that went straight to their offices. I thanked him before Charlie and I hoped in and headed up. I greeted Gio's secretary and she waved me in with a smile. He looked up with a smile as soon as I opened the door and came over to give me a hug. "I am surprised to see you here cara. To what do I owe the pleasure?" he asked as he ushered me to the sofa. "Well, I got a contract I couldn't turn down and the timing couldn't be better. I'm headed to Greece for some time. I think it's just what I need. But I couldn't go without saying good bye to you," I replied smil

AdiraIt was early Monday morning and I was loading my luggage in the truck, checking and double checking everything. I was stuffy and felt my face was still a little puffy from my impromptu crying fest yesterday. I had decided that I needed to go through the pictures of my trip with Valentine and had found more than I realized. They were beautiful and still so painful but it was necessary. Now I could go to my dream place feeling lighter and more free than I had. I was leaving it all here. I had two stops to make before heading to the airport. Two conversations that I needed to have though one wouldn't be necessarily bad. I decided to go see Sebastian first. At some point in the future I would be quietly annoucing that Petra and I were one in the same and he deserved to know the truth of it from me. Giving him the truth and the opportunity to apologize was my way of helping myself move on. Charlie and I headed into the building and were greeted by the usual group of fol
Love Behind the Lens Chapter 123
AdiraI was as ready as I was going to be. I was a blend of Petra and the old Adira. This woman staring back at me is the new me. My hair was curled and half up half down, my make up minimal except my eyes which I did to stand out behind my glasses. Charlie stood beside me with his vest and bow tie on looking sharp. My phone beeped, letting me know that Gio was ready outside. "Alright Charlie here's to new experiences," I said grabbing up my purse and phone before heading out."You both look wonderful,"Gio said waiting by the open limo door. I smiled as I locked up and then away we went.Once at the venue Gio made sure that we were announced as Gio and Adira, even adding Charlie in. All eyes were on us as his company was sponsoring and my artwork was one of the pieces being offered up. Charlie was perfect keeping himself between me and the crowd putting me at ease despite the large number of people vying for our attention. What felt like forever but was probably only a few

AdiraWe watched as Valentine stormed out. At this point I think numb is the only way to express how I felt. Gio sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "He always was a hot head. It's the Italian blood. Well, let's not waste the food especially since you haven't eaten today," he said grabbing the food and wine and bringing it to the small coffee table. I watched as he went to the kitchen and returned with some glasses and silverware. I was grateful I was here with Gio right now as I'm not sure how I would handle this on my own. He handed me a container and a fork before pouring us each a glass of wine. I heard the TV come on and glanced over to see that he'd put on NCIS - another one of Charlie's favorite shows. We ate in silence and finished off the wine. At some point I nodded off and only woke when Gio laid me down on the bed in my room. I felt Charlie jump on the bed with me and I was out again.I woke early and laid there in bed with Charlie contemplating my next

Valentine"Valentine, son, wait, listen," Gio said standing and holding his hands out towards him in a calming manner. My brain was still trying to process what I'd just heard. Petra and Adira were the same person? But why? I mean, I was attracted Adira that night in the kitchen, the way that her shirt lifted revealing her cute purple panties and her giggling with Charlie. But why lie about it? Why wait so long after everything before saying something? Hell I'd been feeling guilty as hell about our kiss. But Adira had been dating Sebastian. Was that real? Was he just the cover or was I? When she wasn't with me was she really working or was she with him?I set down the food and the bottle of wine. I couldn't stay here right now.I had come to surprise my father with dinner since we'd missed family dinner on Sunday. Family dinner with Adira. Fuck.I looked around the room taking it all in, my brain still trying to piece it all together. I loved her, I loved Petra or so I
Love Behind the Lens Chapter 120
AdiraI ran like the devil straight to my room and locked the door before heading to the bathroom. I didn't care who he thought I was or what reasons he had, what he did was not ok. I felt dirty and angry and sad and guitly all at once as I started the shower. I threw my clothes straight into the trash knowing that I'd never be able to wear them again without thinking of this moment. I shot a quick text to my team apologizing, but asking if they can pack up the set and my cameras and just leave them outside my door. I cited an emergency and that I would return to get them. I turned the shower on scalding hot and stepped under it, scrubbing all traces of him off my skin. Once out I booked a return flight for less than two hours knowing that I needed to get home before the panic fully set it. I took one of the pills I carried for emergencies and packed quickly. My cameras and gear were in the hallway ready so I was able to make a quick get away. By the time I got to the air
Love Behind the Lens Chapter 119
SebastianHer body felt so familiar against me, her smell and taste one that had been seared into my mind forever. In one hand I held her arms above her head, holding her upright and bowed slightly while I cupped her pussy with the other. I could feel the heat of it through her tight pants and I groaned into her neck. I couldn't wait to slide into that warmth again. I nuzzled the side of her head in the spot I knew she liked before whispering to her "I'm sorry for last weekend. My brother had called to tell me that this fucking woman was going around our home town telling everyone that she was having my baby. I didn't remember sleeping with her, only waking up next to her naked. Even months later I couldn't remember a thing from that night and I knew something had to be wrong."I ran my teeth along her collar bone and felt her squiming. "You like that huh?" I said before doing it again. She froze and I continued, "Well long story short I went down there and confronted her wit
