“What exactly do you take photos of?” I tilt my head to the side.

The grin that spreads across his face seems dangerous and gorgeous all at the same time. “Depends,” his voice purrs. “All relies on what the customer wants.”

I furrow my brow. “Why, the way you talk, it sounds as if you’re hinting at something salacious.”

“He is,” Desimir scoffs, still playing with my hair, having taken it out of the braids and is now curling it around his fingers.

“Some of the best art in the world contains nudity,” Royal scoffs. “How is mine any different?”

“Ok,” I bite back my smile. “So you take nudes?”

Royal rolls his bright violet eyes. “I capture life in all its forms, nudity is a part of it, it is how we enter this world! It is the most natural state to be in.”

“You best run now,” Desimir whispers to me. “Or he’ll have you naked on the bed as well.”

Another electric shiver goes down my spine.

“I most certainly would not!” Royal scoffs. “I would have to earn such a vision.” He winks at me and I my temperature spikes through the roof. “We both would, Desi.”

Desi has released my hair. “If you want me to shoo him away, just ask, Aggie. I do not mind giving him a scolding.”

“So, you two work together as well?” I touch my cheek, hoping I am not turning too red.
