Love Behind the Lens Chapter 76
AdiraI woke before my alarm went off , the smell of all the flowers almost choking me. But in my half awakened state I actually had a really good idea. One that if I was quick I could pull off and it would definitely be a money shot.I found one of the night workers who was able to help me take them all down to the beach and arrange them the way I wanted. I then trudged back and got myself ready and returned to the beach to set up my gear. It was right before sunrise, in twilight so I had about an hour to get some good shots. I had them set on 45 second timers, 15 seconds apart and began moving through the different poses. I thought about Valentine and about the message I wanted to send to him through my work. I was starving by the time I finished, the sun shining fully down on me. I told the hotel to take the flowers and donate them to the nearest hospital to which they did gladly. I had breakfast delivered while I changed into my travel gear and packed away my cameras. I

ValentineI knew I looked like shit but I had a smile on my face today. Earlier I'd gotten a message from Petra saying she wanted to meet for lunch. And she'd even sent me a picture from her photoshoot. It was breaktaking. It made me wonder if Adira or Petra had set it up. I had every intention, if Petra and I worked things out, to print the photo she sent me for my desk.I had decided to cook today instead of having my father cook and invited him and Matteo over. I was actually running behind because I'd been so relieved hearing from Petra that I'd accidentally fallen asleep on the sofa. I hadn't slept much or well the last few days and had woken up to my cousin at the door. He took one look at me when I opened the door and asked me who died. I just rolled my eyes and walked to the kitchen to begin prepping dinner. He followed me and I quickly explained to him what had happened before there was another knock at my door. I told Matteo to go get it since I knew it was my fat

AdiraIt was hard sitting there at dinner and not staring at Valentine. He looked worse than I expected him to with messy hair, wrinkled clothes and dark circles under his eyes. I know I probably didn't look much better but I actually felt bad for him. I was glad that Gio was there guiding the conversation. I could easily see how him and his cousin got into lots of trouble together when they were younger. He had that mischievious glint in his eye even now. Gio walked me out to my truck so we could have a moment to speak."I'm glad you made it to dinner cara. Does it help you feel better about tomorrow?" Gio asked as I held the door open for Charlie to jump in. I nodded and replied "Yes. I took the time and listened to his voicemails and read all his messages. I probably could have been more understanding and I hate to see him suffering the way he is. But at the same time I knew I needed to stand up for myself. You aren't mad are you?"He pulled me in for a hug and we stoo

ValentineI saw her face lit up when I handed her the roses and her kiss made everything better. I knew that I could apologize to her and that I hadn't completely ruined things between us when her lips touched mine. I had already spoken to Vicente about lunch - fresh bruscetta, a light salad, some zuppa tuscana soup and tiramisu for dessert. Once we sat down and she agreed to what I'd chosen for lunch I took her hand in mine. I could see the question in her eyes and was glad I didn't see any anger lingering there."Bella, I am so sorry that I didn't not listen the first time you told me no. I had no reason to be that way nor do I have an excuse other than I only want you on my arm. You are an amazing woman, beautiful, kind, smart. I want to be able to proudly show you off. I want the world to know that I am worthy of such a woman, that I have put my past behind me. I have never felt this way about a woman before and I want to see where this goes," I said. "I guess you could

AdiraI hadn't realized how much we had both needed that lunch. I felt things were a little more out there on the table afterwards and even though it made my feelings a little more scrambled I felt better knowing how he felt about me. I still had a few hours before dinner with Sebastian so I took the time to edit the photos like Adrian and I had talked about and spent a little time double checking the others before submitting them. Then I brushed up the others and sent them to Adrian so he could see what magic he could work.I made sure Charlie went out and had dinner before I got ready for dinner with Sebastian. I pulled my hair up in a high pony tail, the curls making it look a little fancier. I had washed the makeup off my face as soon as I'd gotten home so I just redid a little eye liner and some tinted lip balm before slipping into some soft gold sparkly dress pants with a solid black halter top. A pair of large gold hoops, some gold bangles and my strappy black heels comp

SebastianGod it felt like forever since I'd seen Adira, or tasted her lips. I was really starting to hate when she was away for more than a day or two but I knew that she enjoyed her job. I was glad to see she was just as anxious to go as I was. Luckily my place wasn't far and once we were in the elevator I let my desire for her take over. The call I'd gotten earlier hadn't actually been work but I'd deal with it later.I grabbed Adira and pinned her up against the wall in the elevator my hands under her ass to hold her up as I devoured her mouth. I nipped her bottom lip and when she gasped I dove right in. I could still taste the sake on her as our tongues danced. I felt her legs tighten around me, locking her in place as her hands took down my hair so she could burry her hands in it.When the doors opened to my floor I carried her out, our lips still sealed together. I held her up against my door one hand supporting her while the other unlocked the door. I carried her strai

AdiraI laid in Sebastian's arms afterwards, enjoying the feel of his body pressed up against mine. I had missed him while I was off working and was looking forward to our weekend in Atlantic City, just him and me and no business coming between us.When I woke the next morning Sebastian wasn't in bed with me, but I could smell coffee so I knew he was around somewhere. When I got out of bed I saw that he'd laid a t shirt at the foot of the bed for me so I slipped it on and went to the bathroom to take care of business before heading out of the room. I found him leaning over the counter wearing only his tight boxer briefs as he went through emails on his phone. I snuck up behind him and wrapped my arms around him tracing his abs with my hands."Good morning beautiful. Did you sleep well?" he said as he stood up and pulled me to his front hugging me. I rested my head on his chest and smiled replying "Of course I did. What time is it?""It's a little after 8. You looked to peacef

AdiraBefore I knew it it was time for me to start getting ready for dinner with Valentine and his cousin. I actually took a nice long soak in the tub before getting out and blowing drying my hair straight. Usually as Petra I curled it but I decided on a different look for tonight. I wore a forest green dress that plunged all the way to my belly button and hugged all my curves. I added a gold necklace that dangled right between my breasts, large gold hoops and gold peep toe heels along with my more dramatic Petra style of make up. I had to admit I looked damn good. Playing Petra more often was upping my style game and I was actually starting to enjoy getting dolled up. Since I was still a little early I set up a few cameras in my studio and did a mini photo shoot with my favorite perfume. I even ad libbed a little video shoot just in case. It would probably go no where but I liked doing little things like this.I made sure to let Charlie out to do his business as well as maki

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

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

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
