aimed at Temaru.
Ian rolled his eyes at him, but his smile returned as he
focused his attention on Temaru.
Temaru moved to kiss him, stopping at a sharp gasp from
behind him.
“No!” Rodney cried. “No playing kissy face until after the
shoot. His makeup is flawless and—”
Ian slung an arm around Temaru, tugging him close and
pressing their lips together.
It took all Temaru’s control to hold his laughter back until
Ian broke the kiss and turned a defiant smirk on Rodney. He rubbed his lips
together, some of the silky lip gloss having transferred from Ian’s lips to
his.
Rodney huffed and waved for Ian to come back to him. “Some
things never change. Get over here so I can fix your gloss.”
“Give me a minute,” Ian said, turning back to Temaru. “I’m
really glad you made it.”
“So am I. You look beautiful.”
“I’m not sure I agree. Maybe if you said it in French, I’d
feel it a little more.”
Temaru saw the playfulness in Ian’s gaze. “Well in that
case…” He put his lips to Ian’s ear and whispered, “Tu es si beau .”
Ian closed his eyes, a hushed moan rumbling in his throat.
“I’m feeling it a little more now.”
“You should.” Temaru dipped his head down, laying a tender
kiss on Ian’s neck. He paused, his lips still on Ian’s neck.
Ian sighed. “You just noticed, didn’t you? He’s been
shooting us the whole time.”
Temaru lifted his head, laughing softly. “I wasn’t expecting
to have my picture taken.”
“If Rodney has a camera in hand, always expect it.” Ian
raised his hand toward Rodney, blocking the camera. “I think you’ve got
enough.”
“I beg to differ,” Rodney said. “You two are gorgeous
together.”
Ian smirked at him. “Since when did you start doing porn
shoots?”
Rodney lowered his camera, setting one hand on his hip.
“This is hardly porn.”
“Not right now, but if we keep kissing, it’s going to be.”
Temaru laughed. “I think I better let you work before we
both end up with new, unexpected careers.”
Ian brushed his lips across Temaru’s. “I wouldn’t have a
problem with that so long as you were my only co-star.”
“I don’t know if I should find that statement charming, but
I do.” Temaru delivered another smiling kiss to Ian.
More clicks came from the camera.
As they ended the kiss, Ian lifted his voice for Rodney’s
ears. “You better stop before you use up all your film.”
“I’m using one of my digitals, dear.”
Ian shook his head at him and spoke to Temaru. “I guess I
better get this over with.”
Temaru took both of Ian’s hands in his. “Don’t say it like
that. Have fun with it.”
“I will now that you’re here.”
Temaru backed up, his gaze remaining on him. Ian shifted to
his original position, Rodney directing him on how he wanted him to pose. Out
the corner of his eye, Temaru saw Mitch waving to him and walked toward him.
Mitch patted the blanket beside him. “Have a seat.”
“Thanks.” Temaru sat next to him, his legs bent in front of
them, and folded his arms across his knees. “This is different than I was
expecting. I thought there’d be a lot more to it than just a photographer and
camera.”
“There usually is, but for this one and Jared’s we’re going
old school with just the basics. When we do big shoots, we’ll have a monitor
where we can view the shots instantly to assess what’s working and what isn’t.
Rodney will have a team of assistants to help work the lights, adjust props and
the setting, not to mention the hair and makeup artists. And Rodney will have a
lot more lenses and stands with him. But he doesn’t need all that to make him
look good.” Mitch nodded toward Ian.
Temaru stared at Ian, watching as Rodney adjusted how Ian
held his head by tipping his chin slightly lower. “I certainly won’t disagree.”
“He really likes you. I haven’t seen him light up in years
like he did when he saw you. Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever
