Chapter Sixteen

“I’m going to suggest something and if it makes you at all uncomfortable, you just say no, okay?”

Juno nodded, relaxing her body out of the pose she’d been holding. She shook out her limbs. She and Arturo were at the old concert hall they had commandeered for the shoot, and so far, they had gotten a lot of great shots. Juno’s body was aching now, not just from holding poses, but from the effects of the lovemaking last night and this morning. She smiled to herself now as she remembered Levi inside her, his hands on her, his lips on hers.

Arturo was changing lenses, and she perched on an old block of stone as she watched him. “What is it?”

He looked up and smiled at her. “How would you feel about being topless for some of the photos? You can say no.”

She wanted to say no right off the bat but she steeled herself. She was an adult, and this was an art project, not pornography. “What’s your thinking?”

“I have this vision of you, black and white, a lot of shadow. Hinting at nakedness rather than being explicit. Your breasts would be in shade…” Arturo was in full artist mode now, she could tell, seeing his vision even as she sat in front of him fully dressed. He described various poses he would like her to maintain while he clicked away. Finally, he smiled at her. “Something to think about. Like I said, if you’re not comfortable with it, we’ll forget it.”

“I will think about it. The way you describe it… that’s something I could maybe do.”

Arturo grinned at her. “I think we’re done for today, though.” He put his camera back in its bag and looked at her. “You’re different.”

“I am?”

He nodded. “There’s something in your eyes… a joy.”

Juno flushed scarlet and tried not to smile and Arturo grinned. “Something’s happened. Is it Levi?”

Juno felt her face burn redder. “Arturo…”

“It’s okay, piccolo. I’m not blind.” He touched her cheek with a finger. “Levi adores you.”

Juno nodded but chewed her bottom lip. “Arturo… I know we… I never wanted to hurt you.”

“And you haven’t. I know when I’m beaten. It is what it is and now we can concentrate on our working partnership, yes?”

She nodded gratefully. “And our friendship.”

“Of course.” Arturo checked his watch. “Listen, I need to be somewhere else. Can I walk you home?”

“I’m good, thank you.”

At the door, he kissed her cheek. “Listen, you and Levi will have dinner with me soon, okay?”

“We would like that.”

Juno walked slowly back to the vaporetto and once she was aboard, she sat down amongst the tourists and locals and watched the water stream past the boat. Sooner or later, she would have to return to the ballet company and to see Tudor. Luckily, he had been too preoccupied with Fausta earlier to see her arrive to meet Arturo, but she had seen how he was treating Fausta and her heart clenched for her colleague. Even if Fausta was the biggest bitch, she didn’t deserve Tudor’s special brand of abuse.
