CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Christine was waiting in the lobby of her office building when Derek arrived on Thursday to pick her up. She had dressed with extra care that morning, choosing a pretty Dolce & Gabbana skirt, a fitted white blouse and Manolo Blahnik sling-backs. Her hair was freshly highlighted, and the long layers gave her a youthful, bouncy look. She felt bouncy, too, and she didn’t need to know why.

Derek seemed to appreciate her new bounciness, because his eyes widened when he saw her, and he let out a low whistle.

“You sure you’re not doing the photo shoot? You look incredible.” He kissed her cheek. And then raised an eyebrow. “And edible,” he whispered, dropping another kiss on her neck.

She pulled away. “Behave yourself, Romeo.”

“Aw. You’re no fun.”

“Sure I am. After all, I agreed to go with you today for moral support.”

“That’s true. I guess I should count my blessings.” He winked at her. “So where are we going?”

“The Grayson Agency on PGA Boulevard.”

The photo shoot was as much fun for Christine as it was a pain in the ass for Derek. They were doing the preliminary shoot in the studio. Follow-ups would be on location. The studio was a cavernous room, full of people and cameras and makeup stations. Several shoots were going on at the same time, and young female models were running around half-dressed. No one seemed to notice. Except Derek, of course.

But then it was his turn to get made-up and be in front of the camera. Christine could tell he hated posing in front of her, and the kindest thing she could do was leave, but she was enjoying teasing him too much. And watching him. He was a very watchable guy.

Especially when they had him take his shirt off. She could swear the poor guy blushed.

She grew a little warm as well, and thought it might be a good time to step outside. She stopped at an outdoor canteen to pick up coffee and donuts. When she returned to the studio, she found a shirtless Derek sitting on a stool, laughing with the pretty photographer, who was running her fingers through his hair. What the hell was she doing? His hair had looked just fine. Now she was shaking it up, giving him a just-out-of-bed look. He did look awfully sexy. Damn him.

“Everybody having a good time?” she called out. She walked directly over to them, noticing that sitting on the stool put Derek’s head level with the photographer’s ample breasts. Not only ample, but artificially enhanced, she might add.

She wondered how a little hot coffee would look on them.

Derek grinned. “Yeah, Leah was just telling me some jokes to help me relax. I said a couple of beers would do the trick.”

Christine held out a coffee. “How about this instead?”

“Not right now. Leah wants to take some more shots.”

Leah smiled at him, then stepped away to make some lighting adjustments. Which was what she was supposed to be doing, Christine thought, instead of having fun with the model.
