I KNEW he'd be a swine! I got the looks wrong, but I was right about the curly tail. Great chapter. Pig of a man!
I wonder what becomes of the pictures now? Alan should have taken the memory card!

Hey Alexis
Hot damn girl, this is a wonderful chapter. Your scene by scene with the proper dialog is superb, The interactions between Liam and Lisa is superb. He is a cunning bastard and good old Alan kikked his ass but good. You describe Lisa as if it were yourself. Superb job

I thought something like this was going to happen. Especially since modeling myself there are a lot of sleaze balls out there!

I think you really pulled out the naivety of Lisa, which most girls of seventeen would be. You captured the whole scene splendidly. Well written, great flow and imagery through out.

Alan to the rescue again. I would have liked to see Lisa a bit stronger, but maybe that will come. I've kicked a few "prize bulls" in their jewels...probably still singing soprano...
Wonderful reading my friend, as always you have my heart beating faster as I read the chapter.

Thanks for sharing.

Didn't catch anything off or in need of any work.

Poor little naive Lisa; she's just a kid and it really shows in this chapter. Does someone always have to rescue her. It appears that people are only interested in her for her looks. Even Nick had fallen for her as a kid and Richard fell in love with a picture. I really hope Lisa matures soon; thanks again. Keep writing, I'll keep reading.

I thought something like this would happen, make her feel like she has no other choice and that he is doing her a favor, then make a move when he had the chance. You wrote this scene really well, the pace was good, great dialogue and I think Allan could of kicked him some more LOL The only thing is they didn't take or destroy the photos. Just great! Alex :)

Lisa was relieved to see that the few lights that were on, focused on the white stage, not the bed./Great observation----She stared at them wondering what to do for the best./Did you mean rest? Best doesn't fit here.----You have produced and surprised the reader with this great action scene. While you set this up with previous hints of danger to come, I wasn't sure what would happen. You wrote it with just enough credibility to Liam that I was taken by surprise. Being a reader is sure different from being the writer. You pulled it off professionally.

    I think it must be an English expression 'I don't know what to do for the best.'This scene was easy to write because it happened to me, and I cringe at my naivety at the time.Unfortunately I didn't have an Alan, but fortunately there were no hand cuffs, and I had legs that could run pretty damned fast! Thank you for your input, I really appreciate it.

Hi alexis,

Guess what? No spag that I could find!! And the story was so absorbing, there might have been some but who cares? I really enjoyed it. Very tantilizing & what you'd expect from an asshole photographer. Geez... Too bad Alan didn't kick his balls completely off.

Great chapter! I'm looking forward to the next one!

smiles,

deb

    I still keep giggling when I read this review, and have deliberately left it till last so that I can read it every time I'm replying to other reviews. Never mind, I'm sure you will have me giggling in the future! My HUGE thanks for this, and the wonderful six. Alexis x

The erotica left with the ending. I think I would change it rather than Alan saving her. Also, some of your sentences ended in prepositions.
Other than these 2 suggestions, I liked the story. Very erotic.
Creative indeed.

    You will find if you research the internet that sentences ending in prepositions are now regarded as very much part of all progressive writers work. As to your suggestions that a girl should have been raped, instead of saved, this is a little worrying.

    Sorry if I offended you. Yes, I at almost 60, am still an amateur. Perhaps, it was the tease that was the let-down... No offense, but one can't always be a 6 star, just as though not all will like my work. I do not comment on any work unless I like it Alexis...

    Hey and Alexis, I do understand jealous critiques. I've had a few myself. Like I wrote, If I don't like something, I skip, pass the opportunity to review. I reviewed yours. I must have liked it enough to say something.

WHOA.... what a twist. Shew, this poor girl. I feel bad for her and yet, unfortunately I can relate, as I am sure many of your readers will also.

I used to feel like I walked around with a sign on my back for every creep and bad thing to happen to come to me.

Great writing. You have me hanging onto my seat waiting to see what's going to happen next.

Darn, I so wanted her to prove her brother wrong! :-(

I had a feeling that something like this was going to happen Alexis, but again you drew out the drama so skillfully that it all seemed so natural. Liam was just a dirty old man playing a young girl along. WEll done again. James.

    Thank you, James. Sadly, there are a lot of them about, and a lot of 'Lisas' out there who are gullible enough to believe them.Alexis x
