CHAPTER NINE

Pieter arrived at PIER 59 Studio’s with a very tired Simeon Duchamp in tow. It was seven–fifty a.m. The studio complex was vast, housing ten photography studios, an upmarket café, and a restaurant overlooking the Hudson River. Pieter and Simeon signed in at reception, and were directed to studio ten. Simeon took a detour to the café for a Grande take-out coffee to perk him up a little.

Because of the technicalities of the wire rigging, the team on today’s shoot was a larger affair than was usual for a high fashion shoot. Two dressers were unpacking garments and hanging them on rails in preparation, and the lighting and rigging techs were unpacking and sorting their equipment and cables. It appeared to Simeon, when he arrived in the studio, that proceedings were already running behind schedule.

Pieter was standing in the centre of the large white walled space, talking to an equally tall man who wore his rakish, dark, wavy hair loose. The man appeared to be in his early forties. He was broad shouldered, devilishly attractive and very animated when he spoke. Simeon strode up to Pieter and handed him a small take-out latte. The man’s gaze was stolen from Pieter and pinned on Simeon. He looked Sim up and down; eye-fucking him with unmistakable predatory pleasure.

“Well, blow me! Pieter, you bought me a snack!” he near growled in a cocky London accent. All the while the man’s eyes trailed up and down Simeon’s six foot tall, slender frame. Simeon blushed at the attention, but he could understand it—he was fabulous! Of course, Simeon checked the man out in return, it was only polite. The other man was old—older than his usual type, but there was something about him. The man’s deep tenor barked out a severe reprimand to one of the young assistants. He shook his head with disdain, as the young girl fumbled with boxes of accessories. A curl of desire flashed up Simeon’s spine, and his trousers tightened noticeably in response. This was a man who liked being in control. Sim saw the twinkle in the man’s hazel eyes. He observed the way the man’s hand swept his unkempt, wavy black hair off his high brow. And then the wicked grin that stole across his face when his gaze landed on Simeon again. Mischief set in Simeon’s eyes. Yes, this could be fun!

Pieter observed the interaction between Sim and Darien, feeling as if he was watching the Discovery Channel. He was surprised the two men didn’t drop to the floor and start sniffing each others butts.

“Darien Holgoode, art director,” the British man introduced. Simeon took his broad, strong, veiny hand and smiled widely,

“Simeon Duchamp, model,” he purred in a soft French timbre, gripping Darien’s hand firmly for a moment longer than was necessary.

“Daaarien could you check this?” A woman with a thick New York twang hollered from the other end of the studio. Darien’s brows arched and he pouted his displeasure.

Pieter’s gaze moved between Darien and Simeon, who was wearing the same pout of displeasure.
