All Chapters of Love Behind the Lens: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Adira I smiled as I glanced over at Charlie who currently had his head out the window of my truck as we flew down the driveway to Gio's house. I hadn't seen my benefactor, who really was more like a father to me, in over a month. It had been worth it though. The shots I had gotten in Egypt were mind blowing. I couldn't wait to show him.Getting that contract was putting me one step closer to my ultimate photographer's dream of Greece. Of course, I could have gone already but I wanted to be INVITED. As I pulled up to the front of the mansion that Gio lived in there was an unknown sports car parked there. My heart started beating faster and after parking I took a few seconds to breathe. Charlie was over the center console and on my lap hugging me the minute I parked and his weight and warmth reminded me I was here and so was he. I wasn't expecting Gio to have company, even though I knew he was a busy man. He would normally let me know if he was with someone else so I could

GiovanniI always watched Adira's photojournal entries when she posted them online so I was able to keep up with most of her shoots as she vlogged quite a bit of them. But seeing the final photos was something entirely different. I listened to her talk about each shoot and was glad to see her smiling and laughing as she told me her stories. She had finally been making really good progress with her anxiety and it was really starting to show in her work and what she was capable of doing. She had been participating in more of them in front of the camera again and had even picked up a few side jobs there, which didn't really surprise me as she'd been doing that more and more. I picked out several to get prints enlarged for the office. I had sold the last set she'd brought back from her trip to Alaska. Clients and associates alike would ask about the photos and after her second destination trip we had both agreed that I would allow them to buy them when she brought a new set, but t

AdiraCharlie and I made our way back to my room, a small smile on my face. Valentine wasn't nearly so bad when he was relaxed. And man did he look delicious out of a suit. He was the type of man that could make a potato sack look designer. It was the way he held himself, his confidence just oozing from him. But you can see there was more to him - so much more behind his eyes. And the way his face softened when he laughed...I sighed as I brushed my teeth. I should definately not be thinking about him right now. Or about how I wanted to run my hands down his chest and follow the trail of hair lower... He was a man's man. I had always found chest hair sexy on man, somrthing more primative and utterly masculine, especially paired with that short scruffy beard. Most of the men I photographed now a days waxed or even did laser treatments to be bare and smooth. Each to their own I guess. I laid down on the bed and Charlie laid down behind me, his warmth against my back a sooth

AdiraThe gallery opening was less than two weeks away and I was stressed and excited at the same time. Though I still had 7 shoots to do before then most of my time would be focused here. I had sent out all the final prints from my Egypt trip, closing out those contracts and only needed to finish setting up the space here for it.I could hear Adrian on the phone with one of the newer photographers that I had invited. This gallery wouldn't just be for my works, it would be a way for new and up coming photographers to show off what they got. It had actually been Adrian's idea to help fill the space and take some of the focus off of me. He had been a find and I honestly don't know if I would have been able to get it off the ground without him. When I had told Gio that I wanted to open a gallery he helped me set up interviews here in the empty building. He acted as the one actually looking and I sat in playing the role of secretary. Adrian was the only one who greeted both of u

Adira"Micah, tilt your chin up slightly. Yep right there. Now look into the lens and lick your lips slowly," I called out, snapping away. "Alright. Head back, arch your spine a little and stroke it. I'm gonna play the audio, just do what feels natural."Micah was the last of the 3 "Tattooed Hotties" that I had today. I had learned early on that it was hard to keep them hard while giving them completely unsexual direction during filming and since I sure as hell wasn't going to touch them I needed to give them ammunition. So depending on where we were shooting I had several options for them, allowing them to choose what made them most comfortable. That was a big reason why I was so popular.Micah was currently listening to excerpts from one of the erotica novels I'd read and recorded. Men won't usually admit to reading it, but hearing it was apparently a huge turn on for them.Micah was close to finishing and I called out to him. "Look this way Micah," I said softly, waiting
