><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Salim Segal watched the woman work with mesmeric grace. The fact that he\u2019d been mistaken about her didn\u2019t sit easy within him. He didn\u2019t usually read situations wrong, but when he\u2019d felt that prickle of awareness of someone\u2019s eyes on him and had turned and seen the slim woman, he\u2019d only registered the camera when the flash had gone off.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He would have thought he\u2019d be used to that by now \u2013 the thousand flashes of light a second as his image was captured a million different ways. But for the first time, he\u2019d understood what it was to feel as if a secret part of your soul was taken when someone took a picture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He\u2019d been thinking\u2026about things that he hadn\u2019t thought of in a long time. Dark things that he thought he\u2019d left behind amidst the rubble of so many ruined cities he\u2019d lost count. Under a million twisted and torn bodies. And then he\u2019d looked and seen her, and she\u2019d caught that feeling of rawness. He\u2019d seen it for himself in the image she\u2019d taken, unwittingly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She stood up now from her crouched position on the floor in front of the blonde model who had been pouting moodily, and said something in Russian to her and the girl smiled in response, looking like a teenager again. Salim caught the gist of it, something like, <i>good job, we\u2019re done<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His gaze skated over the model dismissing her. She was beautiful, yes, but too young, too skinny. Still a person who was forming.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i>Her<\/i> on the other hand\u2026he\u2019d been able to tell from his first glance at her earlier, that she was a fully formed woman with all her mysteries and allure. His gaze traveled up over slim legs encased in soft leather, cupping a curvy backside.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As he watched from where he stood in the shadows near the door she stretched to ease out kinks, arms over her head, lifting her loose top up to reveal the naked indentation of a small waist and just like that, blood throbbed to his penis, like it had earlier when he\u2019d noticed how huge her eyes were and that they were the most unusual shade of gold and green. Tawny. Like a Lioness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She pulled something out of her hair and it tumbled down now, thick and messy around her shoulders, golden lights glinting among darker strands. She massaged her skull and Salim wanted to replace her hands with his. Lust was so urgent within him that he almost turned and walked out, not liking to be in the grip of anything out of his control.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But then someone said something to her and she turned and looked. He\u2019d been spotted. And now he couldn\u2019t move, as she walked towards him. For a man whose reflexes were honed enough to melt out of sight in an instant, this was not welcome.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The crew behind her were packing things away, the model had disappeared, presumably to change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She stopped in front of him and those stunningly unusual eyes caught him again. Her gaze fell on the camera in his hand, against his chest. Relief was visible in her expression and then it hardened again and she looked at him, holding out a small hand. \u2018My camera, please.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She had an American accent, with a touch of something more foreign. Intriguing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Salim held on to the camera. \u2018I owe you an apology.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Her eyes flared, as if she was surprised. He could see the pulse point in her neck beating hectically and his arousal wound tighter in his body.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She crossed her arms over her chest, pushing up the swells of her breasts. He could see the voluptuous curves just under the V of her top.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018You do,\u2019 she agreed. \u2018I told you I wasn\u2019t paparazzi.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Salim dragged his gaze back up and was quickly sucked deep into those golden depths. \u2018So why were you taking a picture of me?\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She blushed, looked away, tension oozing from every line of her body. When she looked back her eyes glowed. Hesitantly she said, \u2018I don\u2019t know. I was looking through the lens before I even realised\u2026I hadn\u2019t intended to take a picture.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He remembered turning to look and then the flash. Had it been a reflex? Something in him loosened a bit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018Please,\u2019 she said now, undoing her arms, holding out her hand again, her voice husky, \u2018Can I have my camera back? It\u2019s got sentimental value for me.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He could tell she hated the admission, as if it might be a weakness. He could understand that. Instantly he felt remorse, but asked as he handed it over, \u2018Why?\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He noted how she relaxed and cradled it to her chest, avoided his eye. \u2018It was my father\u2019s. He was a well \u2013 known photojournalist who covered conflicts all over the world.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Salim tensed as unwelcome images automatically came to mind. \u2018Who was he?\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She looked at him. \u2018Bruce Jordan.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Salim\u2019s body went still. \u2018Bruce Jordan?\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She nodded. Salim reeled. He knew of her father. He shook his head, \u2018<i>Incroyable.<\/i>\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She frowned, \u2018What is?\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Salim felt as if he was losing his footing. \u2018You\u2026here. <i>This<\/i>.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He could see that she got what he meant. This bizarre and palpable chemistry between them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018How long are you staying here?\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Her face flushed again, eyes widening imperceptibly. \u2018I leave tomorrow to go home to New York.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Someone pushed past them at the door to take equipment out and Salim could see her look around, distracted. A kind of panic lanced him. He reached out and took her arm, she looked at him. Her scent tickled his nostrils; earthy and musky.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018I\u2019m sorry about earlier, you caught me\u2026off \u2013 guard. Please, let me make it up to you, have dinner with me this evening?\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Her pupils dilated, drowning out some of the gold in her irises, but after a long moment she shook her head, hesitant. \u2018I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a good idea.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Salim\u2019s hand tightened around her arm as if he could drag her bodily from the room. He wanted to. So badly it scared him. So he let her go, because he wasn\u2019t sure it was a good idea either.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But still, he couldn\u2019t stop himself from saying, \u2018If you change your mind I\u2019ll be in the bar at seven. I won\u2019t wait for long.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-av_one_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding '     ><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click to Learn More<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1811,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[21],"portfolio_entries":[23],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
