Sakura and the Prince of Darkness – Part 2

Darcy, who was watching Sakura, noted how nervous she was and wondered if he was the cause. Though, he must admit that he wasn’t feeling one hundred percent confident, simply because he was having a photo shoot with her, in a bedroom scene at that.

When she flicked her gaze to him, he gave her a smile to alleviate her nerves.

Sakura sighed in response and returned his smile. She also didn’t miss the fact that he was extremely hot with his dark hair in a messy style, wearing a pair of loose white trousers and a white shirt that was left unbuttoned, showing off his toned chest and six-pack abs. Not to mention the tattoo on his chest, featuring the sakura flowers and the word snow.

Her eyes lingered on the tattoo as her heart began to race and her stomach fluttered deliciously. When she lifted her gaze back to his face, she noted the dark passion exuding from those beautiful mauve-gray eyes of his.

Mr. Tachibana said, “All right, Sakura, listen carefully. This is what I want for this shoot.”

Sakura nodded, and then Mr. Tachibana began his explanation. By the end of it, she was blushing profusely.

Sexy. Intimate. He wanted her to be as sexy as she could be and as intimate with Darcy as she could muster, right on that bed, while showing off her outfit at the same time.

She nodded, telling herself this was for work and she could do it. It was with Darcy, after all, so it shouldn’t be hard.

Finally, Mr. Tachibana clapped his hands and said, “All right. We’re ready for shooting now.”

With that, Jane came up behind Sakura and whispered gently, “I’m taking this off you now.”

Sakura swallowed hard and then nodded. “Okay.”

The moment the robe was gently pulled from her body, a hush descended over the room, and Sakura groaned inwardly. She knew this was going to happen. Now she thought walking in without the robe might have been a better option.

She tensely raised her gaze to Darcy, and the moment her eyes met his, her throat became dry and her stomach flipped.

Oh, God, he was just standing there and ogling her with those passionate mauve-gray eyes of his, as though he wanted to eat her up or something.

She licked her lips nervously and said, “Shall we get started?”

His response was a slow nod of his head as his eyes continued to study her with appreciation. Everything about her in that lingerie was perfect. She is perfection. She was an angel indeed, and suddenly, Darcy wanted to grab her hand and take her far, far away from the prying eyes of other men. He wanted her for himself, in a secluded room, where he could kiss her and touch her and explore every part of her beautiful body.

Fuck! He wanted her so badly that it was hard for him to just stand there and pretend he wasn’t affected, that he wasn’t turned on.

“My,” Mr. Tachibana said. “It looks even better than I thought.” He chuckled with glee as he took hold of her hand. He then proceeded to make her rotate, showing all of her to the room full of people and, of course, the Princeton brothers, who couldn’t stop gawking at her.

“Holy shit!” Logan said. “Our sister is hot in that lingerie.”

“Shut up, Logan,” Sebastian said darkly. “And why is Mr. Tachibana making her do that? Doesn’t he know everyone is watching?”

Tristan said, “You sound like a possessive lover, Sebastian.” He smiled gleefully. “That beautiful princess must be shared, especially amongst us brothers.”

Hayden said, “Coming from you, that sounds rather sleazy.”

Conrad said, “Sakura is beautiful in that, but I prefer her with more clothes on. The dress when she had the photo shoot with Hayden and Akira was nice.”

Nicolas said, “Well, this is only for the magazine.”

Sebastian wasn’t the least bit pleased with how things had turned out. Of course, he had expected there to be a lingerie photo shoot today, since he had been a fan of Mr. Tachibana’s brand and had seen the catalogue numerous times when it came out every season. There had always been a section dedicated to lingerie, and it would be no different this time around. But damn, he didn’t expect it to be Sakura and Darcy modeling the sexy pieces.

As he gazed at her, he thought how exotic and desirable she was. Everything about her was perfection in that erotic outfit. Long legs in thigh-high stockings of white and pink with small beads and crystals lining the hems. Then there were those sexy panties that hugged intimately around her butt, showing just how shapely and firm she was. The waist of the panties, too, was lined with small beads and crystals. And then the bra. Fuck! Pink silk and white lace cupping those beautiful breasts in the most enticing way, thrusting the boobs upward, showing off the shape and soft flesh that made men want to weep with joy.

Damn, Sebastian wondered if he could abate this jealous, urgent feeling that suddenly erupted within him. He wondered if he was patient and calm enough to just sit there and watch her being ogled by so many other men, while she was wearing something that alluring, and standing right in the middle of the room, too, with bright lights on her from every angle, showing off just how tantalizing she was.

Fuck, he knew for a fact he didn’t have the patience to just sit and watch like a normal spectator. All he wanted to do was to take her away to a secluded place and kiss her and make love to her. But of course, he couldn’t. Not now. Not yet, at least, not until she had made her decision. And right now, he had to calm down, cool his passion. He had to watch and learn and get used to the trust and so much more.

Sakura was bright red with embarrassment by the time Mr. Tachibana finally stopped showing her off to everyone.

Jason chuckled and said, “Shall we get started?”

Mr. Tachibana nodded and then told everyone to get ready. A minute later, Sakura found herself half sitting on Darcy’s lap on the bed, her hand wrapped around his powerful shoulders while he had his strong arm around her waist.

“Are you okay?” Darcy asked, his warm breath fanning her cheeks.

With her eyes downcast—because she was too nervous to look at him directly—she nodded. “Yes.”

God, she was nervous, and why wouldn’t she be? Dressed in something this provocative and posing so intimately in Darcy’s arms for the whole world to see.

“Good,” Jason said. “Sakura, move closer,” he instructed.

Sakura shifted her head a little so her nose was nearly touching Darcy’s, and then the camera went click, click, click.

Darcy moved slightly this time, pulling her toward him by the waist.

“Good,” Mr. Tachibana said from the sidelines. “Sakura, raise yourself a bit more.”

Sakura did and ended up kneeling, both arms wrapping around Darcy’s neck and her chin resting just above his head. That meant Darcy’s face was directly in line with her bosom, which made her blush. Her heart started to race as she tried her best not to show just how affected she was when he was so near.

Darcy must have noticed her heart racing and whispered, “There’s loud drumming in your chest, Sakura. Is there a party going on in there?”

His teasing words made her turn her eyes to him. She slapped him on the shoulder. “This is not the time to joke around,” she whispered. “It’s hard enough as it is, dressed like this and posing in this position with you.”

He cocked his head to one side. “Oh? You don’t like being this intimate with me?”

Sakura licked her lips. “No, it’s not that. It’s just that doing this in front of so many people…”

A frown appeared on her face, which made Mr. Tachibana call out, “Sakura, your face.”

Sakura gasped and pulled herself together. She turned her face to the camera and hastily posed as she thought befit a model.

“Good,” Jason said. “Excellent.”

Darcy said, “I personally don’t mind.” He gave her a dashing smile that made her heart glow with delight. “In fact, I don’t mind showing everyone how intimate I can be with you, and how much you mean to me.” As if to indicate what he meant, he moved his hand to the back of her neck and gently pulled her face toward his. Up close, he nuzzled his face in the crook of her neck as Jason enthusiastically photographed them.

“Good. Excellent pose,” the man said.

Hayden said, “Wow, Darcy knows what he’s doing, doesn’t he?”

Nicolas chuckled. “Looks like he’s a tough opponent to beat.”

Akira, who had come to stand beside him when the photo shoot began, said, “I didn’t know you were one of the participants, too.”

Before Nicolas could reply, Tristan said, “Of course he is. He’s as smitten with Sakura as the rest of us.”

Beside her, Logan said, “But we know he doesn’t have the hots for Sakura, which is a relief.”

Tristan nodded. “In fact, we are one hundred percent sure who he has the hots for.”

This piqued Akira’s interest, and she asked, “Oh, really? Do tell. Who is it?”

“It’s you,” Hayden said bluntly. “Nicolas has the hots for you.”

That made Akira blush, and Nicolas growled, “You three, shut it.”

It was then that Jane came over and whispered, “You’re next, Conrad, Akira. Better go to makeup now.”

Akira nodded and quickly left, Nicolas’s gaze trailing after her.

Conrad said, “And I was enjoying watching them, too.”

Sebastian asked, “You enjoy watching Sakura and Darcy together?”

Conrad nodded, and before he left, he said, “Yeah. They look good together.”

Sebastian frowned as he watched Sakura and his brother posing intimately on the bed.

As the session went on, Sakura relaxed and became less self-conscious. Whereas Darcy became more daring, his hand intimately touching her bare skin. Then finally, near the end, Mr. Tachibana asked them to do another pose. Sakura found herself exposing the full length of her front to the camera and for every one of the spectators to see—long legs in thigh-high stockings, sexy panties and a bra made of silk and lace, the pattern exotically designed, showing off most of her fair skin and hot body.

Behind her, Darcy had one hand along the right side of her hip while the other wrapped around her left arm. His nose was intimately snuggled at the crook of her neck as he eyed the camera. Sakura herself tried to look as sexy as she could as she gazed at the camera, and then click, click, click.

Sakura knew that behind Jason, Mr. Tachibana, and Ms. Ruka, behind the lighting and the crew, were the Princeton brothers and, of course, Sebastian watching them. God, she didn’t feel good knowing he was seeing her this intimate with Darcy.

Is he uncomfortable?

“What’s wrong?” Darcy whispered into her ear as the camera continued to click in front of them.

Sakura shook her head. “Nothing.”

Darcy knew it wasn’t nothing. He knew Sebastian was watching them, and that made Sakura both nervous and worried, which he could understand. To ease her apprehension, he said, “It’s fine. Sebastian understands this is only a job.”

Sakura turned her eyes to him and smiled. He was right, of course, and she shouldn’t worry too much about it.

“Hmm.” She nodded, and then they continued with their photo shoot.

A few minutes later, Jason said, “That’s it.”

Sakura sighed and literally collapsed against Darcy, who gladly embraced her right there in front of everyone. With a smile, he said, “There. Not too bad, eh?”

Sakura chuckled. “I’m glad it’s done. Now, I have to go and change for my next session.”

“You are busy today,” he said.

Sakura nodded.

“Tired?”

Again, she nodded.

“Hey, you two lovebirds, stop flirting in front of everyone,” Tristan teased.

“You still have another session to go, Sakura,” Logan said. “No time to relax and flirt with your boyfriend.”

That had Sakura blushing. She hastily got up from her seat on the bed. “I’m going,” she said, and then rushed away, passing Mr. Tachibana and Jason, who smiled at her, pleased with her efforts and, of course, the outcome of the photo shoot.

In such a rush, Sakura understandably had forgotten about her robe. And as she headed to the door, the brothers couldn’t help but marvel at her as she passed by, especially her backside.

Once she was gone, Darcy got up from the bed, too, and headed toward his brothers.

Sosuke said, “You were very real during the photo shoot, Darcy. Were you a model before?”

Darcy shook his head. “This was my first time.”

As they all headed out the door, Darcy asked Sebastian, “Were you jealous?”

His face impassive, Sebastian said, “I was. Fuck, it was hard controlling myself. I have to admit it.”

Darcy chuckled. “Now you understand how I felt?”

Sebastian nodded. “Perfectly. But trust, that’s important, and by the end of it, I was fine. So, that was a good experience.”

“Trust,” Darcy said under his breath. “Yeah, that’s important.”

“Also,” Sebastian said, chuckling, “I’ve figured something out.”

Darcy was curious. “What?”

“That she’s hot when she’s with you, and that makes me want her even more,” Sebastian said.

Darcy nodded. “She was plenty hot when she was with you, too. That’s why I got so pissed,” he admitted.

Sebastian chuckled. “I see.”

Ahead of them with the others, Hayden said, “You two are so slow.”

“We’re coming,” Darcy replied.
