Dana leaned back while praying that her skimpy suit didn’t move even a millimeter. Clay worked around her, constantly snapping pictures. He made her go on all fours with her hair draping around her shoulders. The entire time she avoided Edward’s eyes.

“Get her wet!” Clay demanded.

Before she could ask what the hell that meant, several buckets of ice cold water were dumped over her. Someone played with her hair. Another person came over with a spray bottle and sprayed her body. Several more pictures were taken in even more provocative positions.

“Okay, Dana, you’ve been great, but I just need one more shot. I need this one with one of our other models,” Clay said.

Dana nodded, happy to be almost done. When a gorgeous male model walked towards her she became nervous. She shot a panicked look at Amy that told her to come immediately before she hyperventilated.

“What I need you to do is take off your top. Zack is going to kneel behind you so he’s not in the picture, but his hands are going to cup your br**sts while you run your hands through your hair,” Clay said as if it wasn’t something to discuss.

“Amy!” Dana said, trying to stay calm. It was one thing to do a sex scene in a movie. She was pretty sure she could do that. It was part of the story line, but to have a guy she didn’t know hold her br**sts because she needed an extra set of hands was too much.

“Um, Clay, let’s talk,” Amy said, pulling Clay away.

Zack stepped up next to her smiling. He held out his hand. “You’re doing a great job.”

She shook his hand as she watched Amy with great interest. Edward made his way over. His jaw was clenched and he looked pissed. Apparently he overheard the game plan.

“Whoa, Edward Pierce,” Zack said, holding out his hand. Edward shook his hand quickly.

“Is this something you want to do?” he asked Dana, ignoring Zack's star struck expression.

She hugged herself. “I don’t know. No offense, Zack.”

“None taken. Don’t worry I’ll be gentle.” He smiled pleasantly.

Edward stared him down. “You’re not cupping my girlfriend’s br**sts. I don’t care what they say.”

Dana bit her lip to keep from smiling when he called her his girlfriend. She forced her attention on Amy, who was arguing with Clay now. After a minute they made their way back to Dana. “This is the cover shot. It’s already been discussed. She needs to do it,” Clay argued.

Amy looked at Edward and then to Dana as she slowly smiled. “You just need Zack’s hands, right? He won’t be in the photo?”

“That’s right,” Clay said, sighing with relief that she was finally catching on.

“Good, we won’t need Clay then. I have someone who can do it and she’ll be more comfortable with,” Amy said.

Clay looked at her cautiously. “Who?”

She jerked a thumb at Edward. “Him.”

“What?” Dana asked. Edward grinned hugely.

“Let me see your hands,” Clay demanded. Edward showed him his hands. “He’ll do. Okay, Dana, take off your top when you’re ready.”

Edward took his shirt off, revealing a lean well defined muscular chest. Dana looked him over hungrily. He watched her eyes roam over each and every muscle. He had to fight the urge to flex.

“Turn around and face the ocean so no one will see. I’ll place my hands on you then you'll turn around slowly. No one will see. I promise.” She nodded realizing she didn’t have a choice anymore thanks to the contract she'd signed.

She faced the ocean and felt him behind her. The bikini top came off slowly. She dropped it on the beach. Edward’s hands came around her. He placed them on her stomach before slowly running them up to cup her br**sts. “Perfect,” he mumbled to himself.

Dana pressed her bottom into him deciding two could play this game. “Exactly what I was thinking.”

“Tease,” he groaned as he pulled himself away from her before he got a very embarrassing erection, well, more embarrassing.

She giggled softly. “Okay, I’m ready to turn around now.”

He moved with her slowly, pressing his hands firmly against her so he wouldn’t slip. “Okay, Edward, drop to your knees, but keep your hands where they are,” Clay said.

Edward dropped to his knees and came face to face with Dana’s shapely bottom. A mischievous smile took hold of his lips. He could feel people working around his hands, probably adding makeup and playing with her hair. When he heard them walk away and heard Clay walking around he decided to have a little fun.

He gently blew on her bottom making her squirm under his touch. Interesting he thought to himself and blew a little harder against her soft skin. A shudder went through her body.

“You like that?” he asked softly for her ears only.

She didn’t answer him. He looked around, making sure no one was near him or could see him. He leaned forward and pressed a kiss to one cheek then the other. He felt her ni**les harden beneath his touch. He almost forgot where he was and squeezed them. He stopped himself at the last second, but it had been damn close.

Her skin was still wet. He licked a drop off her lower back, making her shudder harder. “Are you cold?” Clay asked.

“Uh, just a little,” Dana said, her voice unsteady.

“I’ll warm you up,” Edward said softly. He ran his tongue slowly over her lower back again and down her left cheek and pressed a kiss to it before repeating the action for the other cheek.

“Stop, baby, please,” she muttered quietly.

“Do you like it?” he asked quietly. “Answer me and I’ll stop.”

“Yes,” she stressed softly, hoping he stopped before she embarrassed herself. While Edward was teasing her from behind she had over fifty people staring at her from behind a closed off section on the beach and another man walking in front of her, taking pictures.

“Very good, Dana. We’re finished here if you want to get dressed. I’ll send you copies as soon as I can.”

“Thank you, Clay.”

Edward stood up and turned her around quickly. His mouth went to her ear. “Did you enjoy teasing me last night, baby?”

She swallowed hard. “Yes.”

“Yeah, I thought so….do you know what you did to me?”

“Mmmhmm,” she somehow managed to respond. He was now kneading her br**sts since no one could see them.

“Let’s say you get dressed then I’m taking you home and the teasing ends,” Edward said through clenched teeth. He was too aroused to think straight. It was all he could do not to drag her into the water and take her there. “And I’m going to f**k you until neither one of us has an ounce of energy to move never mind think.”

She sucked in a harsh breath. “Can’t. Kids are home. Baby sitter is leaving,” she managed to whisper.

“Okay, we’ll have dinner with the kids. Once they’re in bed you are mine.”

“God yes,” she moaned, making Edward growl. She turned her head and offered her mouth to him. He gladly took it and kissed her passionately while they had people staring at his back. He was aware of several cameras clicking behind them. He thrust his tongue into her mouth the way he was going thrust into her later as he pinched and pulled her ni**les between his fingers.

Someone cleared their throat behind them. “Uh, guys, you can go now,” Amy said, trying not to laugh. She bent down and picked up Edward’s shirt and Dana’s bikini top. Edward took his shirt and offered it to Dana. She put her arms through it while he reached around her and buttoned it up.

“Ready, sweetheart?” he asked, kissing her cheek.

“Yes. I just have to grab my clothes,” Dana said, looking down to make sure no one could see anything. His dark blue shirt covered her completely from neck to knees. He took her hand and led her to the make-up trailer to retrieve her clothes.

“You did a great job,” Rick said. He walked over and kissed her cheek. “They’re going to do the interview tomorrow at your house at three. Is that okay? Amy will be there to make sure things go smoothly. I have to say that was a good choice giving Amy the job,” Rick said, smiling.
