Love Behind the Lens Chapter 83
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

ValentineDinner had been great with Matteo and his fiancee. She had really seemed to hit it off with Petra for which I was glad. She was stunning, even more so than usual and I had a hard time keeping my hands to myself. I had to keep touching her to prove that she was really there. I had missed her and knew that I had really fucked up and was thankful that we were able to work past it. I didn't dare to hope that she'd come back to my place with me tonight but when she slowly slid her hand up my leg the words she whispered in my ear had my heart racing. "Your place."I placed one hand over hers and with the other I cupped her check tilting her face up so I could see the truth in her eyes. She'd never had much of a poker face, which I loved about her, but I wanted to make sure that this was really what she wanted. I know that she had enjoyed herself tonight as much as I did, but I didn't want her to feel pressured. "Are you sure Petra? It's ok to say no. I would understan

AdiraWe made love several more times through the night, catching little naps here and there. I felt something shift between us and while I couldn't put my finger on it, I at least knew that he felt the same. This was more than just make up sex. As the sun rose I laid in his arms trying to catch my breath, listing to the rapid beat of his heart as he stroked his hand across my naked hip. I didn't want to move but I knw that my alarm would be going off soon and I'm sure he had work today too. "Bella," his voice rumbled, a little rougher than normal after an entire night of sex. "I really don't want to get up is that wrong? I know that we both need to but, this feels too perfect."I nodded my head against him unable to find my words."I know you have that long shoot this week and I've got a trip to Italy with my father this weekend but I wish we could just hide away here order delivery and not leave this room," he said and I grinned, feeling the same. I felt his arms tighten a

Adira Florida was hot and humid not that I'd expected anything different. I was glad this was a short trip as we only had shoots tomorrow and early Friday morning. Tonight I would do Petra's shots and get them out of the way. On the way to the hotel I sent a message to Valentine letting him know that I'd landed safely. I'm glad you've made it there bella. Have a good shoot this weekend and know that I am thinking of you.I sent him a heart emoji and asked when he was going to Italy.We leave tonight actually. We weren't supposed to leave til tomorrow night but they moved the meeting up which is fine because now we'll drive out to see the family once we're done. Well that's great news then. Be safe Valentine.You too bella. I'd almost put my phone away when it beeped again. This time it was message from Sebastian. Hey I hope you had a good flight. I can't wait to see you this weekend!I smiled and replied back.I did. I just landed. I can't wait for this weekend too.

Adira After having my day start off well my work went by quickly. I did shoot Valentine a thank you before I began though I figured he was probably already sitting in his meetings. I would hopefully be able to call him later tonight. Though the shots today were more tedious as it was a very windy day the team I had here with me today were good. Charlie enjoyed the day much more than me and I couldn't help but snap a few pictures of him too with his eyes closed and tongue hanging out, ears flapping in the wind. We had a late lunch scheduled and while Charlie and I were sitting under a tree enjoying a sandwich my phone rang. I smiled when I saw Valentine's name pop up."Hello bella. How has your day been?" His voice washed over me and I hadn't realized how much I'd missed it in the little time we'd been apart.."Valentine! It has been good. Thank you so much for this morning. The breakfast was exactly what I needed and the flowers are so beautiful. My room smells like a flo

SebastianI couldn't believe she actually accepted my offer for a weekend get away. She'd been working a lot lately and honestly so had I. I had missed her, her laugh, the way her eyes lit up when she talked about something she was interested in. She'd be perfect if only her job didn't take her away for days at a time. I was glad she was passionate about her work and she was damn good at it but I really wanted to see more of her.Maybe after this weekend I could talk to her about spending more time together - maybe even her staying over a few nights a week. I'd move her right in if I thought she'd go for it. I had the music playing softly in the truck as we made the two and a half hour drive. I could see how excited she was as she was practically bouncing in her seat. We played 20 questions which led to several hilarious stories on both sides. We sang a long to some of the songs. I hadn't heard her sing before and I was mesmerized from the first note that left her lips to t

AdiraI didn't like lying to Sebasitan but I wasn't sure how he'd react to me telling him that I was messaging Valentine. He had sent me a sweet good night message and I couldn't not respond to it. But then I put him out of my head and tried to stay focused on Sebastian. We'd had a great drive down, singing and messing around, telling each other stories and asking each other crazy questions. It was a fun way of getting to know each other and helped ease the little bit of anxiety I had about coming here with him.I laid out a light blue dress with cap sleeves for our dinner and then jumped in the shower while Sebastian took care of Charlie for me. The bathroom here was almost as good as the one back at my house and I had a pang of longing to go to my house. It had been awhile since I'd been home home and not at the gallery because of the convenience of the gallery to both Valentine and Sebastian. I had just added shampoo to my hair when the feeling of hands on my head made me ju

SebastianWe left Charlie watching TV in the living room and headed down for dinner. Luckily it was in the same building as we were only a few minutes late. We held hands as the waiter led us through the outdoor seating to a table right on the edge of the boardwalk and the beach. Though it was fully dark out, the stars were out and the sight was well worth it. From our seats not only could we smell the beach but the sound of the waves crashing in the background added to the ambiance of this place.I held her chair out for her to sit and once she did I went around and took my seat, watching as her head was on swivel as she tried to absorb all the sights and sounds around us. I smiled and grabbed her hand that was on the table bringing her attention back to me."I hope you like it," I said smiling at her. She looks so beautiful tonight with her hair down and still slightly flushed from our hot shower. "It's perfect thank you. Any recomendations on the menu?" she asked smiling a

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

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
Love Behind the Lens Chapter 124
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
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
