Read Letting Go of You (Anchored Hearts #2) for Free Online Page A

apartment, that had it been during the day it would’ve had amazing natural light.  There were lights and backdrops set up and a big bed as well.  I noticed a vanity with hair and makeup products setup all around.
    “I’m Maize, Cole’s girlfriend, makeup artist, etc.  You must be Cassidy.”
    “I am.  You’ve got an amazing setup here.”
    “Thanks.  We live in the apartment next door. This is our studio for work.  You know, you’re prettier in person.  The papers haven’t done you justice.”
    I blushed at that.  “Thanks , I think.  I’m not sure the papers do anyone justice.”  We both laughed at that.  She had me set my bag down and then took my coat.  “I have to admit that I’m terribly nervous.  I’ve never had my pictures taken for this purpose.”
    “No worries.  You’ll do great.  Sit here and I’ll start on your hair and makeup.  I really want to play up those eyes of yours.”
    I sat down at the vanity as Maize started on my hair and makeup.  She put my hair in rollers first, and then began my makeup.  Half way through that process I heard someone else moving around the studio.  My eyes found a man moving lights, backdrops and other props around the room.  He spotted me watching him and walked over to me.
    “Cassidy?  It’s a pleasure.  I’m Cole.  What did you have in mind for today?”
    “Hi Cole.  Well, Jane said you had some ideas for her and that you probably would for me too.” 
    “You have haunting eyes and beautiful skin.  Anything you don’t want to show or are excited to show?”
    “I’m not sure.”
    “Alright, we’ll take it slow.  It can be a grueling process, but we’ll get it done.”
    A little while later I walked out of the bathroom wearing his t-shirt that I had claimed as my own.  It covered me the most and I figured it was best to start with, to get me comfortable.  Maize had done my makeup slightly darker than my normal and said she’d darken it as we went.  Maize came over then and reassured me that everything would be fine.  We took a few shots by the window and then some in the bed before I changed outfits.

    “Alright, I think that’s a wrap Cassidy.” 
    Maize came over and untied me from the bed.  Halfway through taking pictures, they had brought up the club and the use of bondage.  At first I was speechless and Cole and Maize just shrugged their shoulders and reassured me that my secret was safe with them.  Cole had then asked if I was opposed to some pictures with some bondage.  I hesitated, but then agreed to it, figuring James would absolutely love them. 
    When we were done, w e didn’t discuss anything else club related.  I threw on my sweats and his t-shirt, but left my purple corset on with the plan to head to the hotel to surprise James.
    “I should have the pictures ready for you next week.  I’ll give you a call when they’re ready to be picked up.”
    “Great.  Thank you so much.”  I shook both their hands before heading out.
    When I got to my car, I pulled out my phone to check for any missed calls or texts.  I had a few from James, but instead of checking them I just called him instead. 
    “Cassidy, I can’t hear you.  I’m out…”
    I could barely hear him.  It sounded like he was out at a club.  He mentioned this morning he had some business meetings tonight with Smith and some other people.  Some business meeting.  The line then broke the call.  Wondering who and where he was I tried to not get annoyed.  I decided to text him that I was headed home.

    The next morning when I got to work I caught Lena in my office.  I eyed her curiously as she held the morning paper behind her back.  It had become a ritual of hers, especially if there was anything involving James or I in the paper. 
    I reached out my hand.  “Lay it on me Lena.” 
    She handed me the paper and I moved behind my desk.  Throwing the paper down on the desk, I wasn’t
