"You! You di..." She was interrupted by the photographer.

"Perfect!" Everyone turned to look at him. "You!" He pointed towards Momo. "Are perfect!" Ashley growled as Momo's eyes widened and Toshiro smirked.

What Money Can't Buy

Chapter Nine

By: Regina Guthrie

"I'm Not Jealous! Part Two"

"M...M...me?" Momo asked in disbelief as she pointed to herself. She didn't intend to be picked for the job. She had only wanted Ashley to stop hanging all over Toshiro as if she was some wore; which she was. But her?

"Yes you! You are normal and naturally pretty! Just what we want!" The photographer exclaimed with over excitement. He had just found a replacement in less then ten seconds, now the magazine wouldn't be delayed from loss of model. Momo glanced over to Toshiro and Ashley. She was about to recline the offer when she noticed the look on Ashley's face and couldn't help it.

"Fine." She answered with a smirk. She took notice to the steam coming out of Ashley's ears and praised herself in her mind.

"Great! Now all we need is for you to be dressed a little more..." The photographer thought for a second, trying to find the right word to describe it.

"Sexy." Toshiro filled in with a smirk. Momo felt her cheeks heating up as the word sunk in. She looked down and shifted uncomfortably on her feet as Toshiro chuckled at her shyness.

"Why can't I just, you know, stay dressed like this. It's a cute outfit, and it's normal!" She tried to convince them. Toshiro laughed as Momo's cheeks turned a darker shade of red. Ashley smirked at her and gave her a glare. The photographer rose an eyebrow at her.

"Yea well, your outfit is cute and normal but we're aiming for something bigger and eye catchy, something sexy like Toshiro said." He explained. Momo hesitated for a second but then nodded.

"I don't think she's cut out for this. She's acting all shy and scared over the outfit?" Ashley said as she smiled sweetly at Momo, which was an act. Momo glared at her. "Just think about her reaction to the poses if this is over a piece of clothing." Ashley advised. Momo growled under her breath as she shook her head. She was about to speak when Toshiro cut her off.

"You'll be surprised, Ash. Momo's not your average girl. She could be afraid of a mouse and then stand up to a bare. Same concept and I think she'll do marvelously fine." Toshiro bragged, his eyes never leaving Momo as a smirk took over his features. Momo smiled and put her hands on her hips.

"That's right! I can so do this without breaking a sweat!" She said with confidence in her voice. Ashley growled as she crossed her hands over her chest and rolled her eyes.

"Well then! Lets get you dressed then!" The photographer clapped his hands together as two woman walked up to Momo, they took her hands and pulled her into a small clothing room where they started to fit her for the photo's.

They had pulled out many outfits, trying to get her to put them on but she refused. Momo had told them things about how the skirts were too short or the shirts showed too much. And then there were some where she had told them that they looked more like lingerie then an outfit for a magazine. The girls were getting tired of her excuses and they were already going on ten minutes of this. Finally they decided to pull out a pair of stretch poly pants that were tight at the top but wide legged at the bottom. a golden trail of spandex foil went around the waist band and about three inches down was another row. A belt buckle in the middle of both of them. Momo's eyes lit up.

"That's perfect!" She said excitedly. But her face fell when they picked up the matching shirt, if you could call it a shirt that is. It was sorda like a halter style top with two back ties and buckle detail. The same material as the pants. The shirt hardly covered any of her stomach. The chest part looked pretty secure, except for the fact that if someone got smart and untied the two ties in the back, it would fall to the ground. Momo opened her mouth to say something when one of the woman interrupted her.

"This is the only outfit left. You say no and we have to just tell all of those people out there your to shy to ware any of this." One commented rudely. Momo huffed out air as she turned to the dressing room and started to get dressed.

Finally after a good fifteen minutes, Momo had finally stepped out of the room. Toshiro glanced over in her direction and time seemed to freeze as he took in her beauty. They had brushed her hair out and curled the ends slightly while adding a bit of cheek color with make-up but that was the only make-up they had applied. She had a gold necklace on with huge circle chains but after every two there was a dark brown stone, matching the light brown color of the material on her outfit. Her shoes were gray and opened toed, but that was the only thing Toshiro could tell because of the pant legs.

"You call that sexy? What in the world! It's an everyday outfit!" Ashley's laughs rang through the studio. Momo shot her head in her direction and glared at her. She was sitting in the chair Momo was sitting in before. Momo's cheeks puffed out with anger.

"I think we should get on with the photographing, so we can have time for our real lives before sunset!" The photographer yelled clapping his hands together. Momo snapped out of her 'hating' mood and moved over to Toshiro's side with a smile on her face. He turned towards her and smirked.

"You look...wonderful... Beautiful." He whispered breathlessly. Momo giggled and wrapped her arms around her stomach.

"I feel violated!" She whispered back with a blush. Toshiro laughed and pulled her hands away from her body, bringing one hand up to his mouth and placing a kiss on her palm.

"Don't feel that way. Your gorgeous." He whispered against her hand. Momo blushed and smiled. "You have to make this as real looking as possible, okay?" She nodded as she felt Toshiro's hands grab under her thighs and lift her up. She instantly put her arms around his neck, her legs dangling. Toshiro smirked as he shook his head. "Wrap your legs around me." He whispered to her as they were practically staring into each others eyes. She complied and did what he had said, Locking her ankles in back of him. "Now, your arms are too loose and sloppy, tighten them up and lift your shoulders up slightly." Once again, she fallowed his instructions. "Perfect, now make this look real, pretend it is real." He whispered as he set his face in the crock of her neck and inhaled while closing his eyes. Momo froze for a second. The camera was flashing from every angle and she didn't know what to do. Looking around she felt her face heat up when she noticed all the people looking at them. Not thinking clearly she placed her face into Toshiro's shoulder and wrapped her arms around him tightly, like a child who was really scared. Everything stopped.

"Angel? Are you okay?" Toshiro whispered bringing his face away from her neck. Momo shook her head as she stayed in the same position.

"I don't know what to do. It's embarrassing!" She whispered in humiliation. Toshiro chuckled and rubbed her back with one hand and supported her with the other.

"Instead of pretending to make this real, I have a better idea. Just do whatever comes to mind when we try this okay? Let's try one more time?" He whispered kissing the top of her head. Momo hesitated and shifted her gaze from off of Toshiro's shoulder and over to Ashley, who looked satisfied. She noticed Momo looking at her and she rubbed her eyes pretending to be crying; mocking Momo. She frowned.

"One more time." Momo whispered to Toshiro. He smirked and nodded and she pulled her head up again.

"Lets try this again!" Toshiro yelled to the photographer who only chuckled. He had understood what Momo was going through. All models had once, especially with this kind of modeling. Momo took a deep breath as she closed her eyes. "Here we go." He informed her as he ducked his head back down to her neck. A moment passed as the camera lights kept flashing and Momo had no clue what to do again. She about said stop when electric shots went through her body and her eyes opened wide. Momo through her head back as her hands grabbed onto a chunk of Toshiro's hair and pushed him further into her neck as he nipped and ran his tongue over her skin carefully and sneakily so no one could tell what he was really doing except Momo.

"Perfect!" The photographer yelled as he began to take photo after photo. Momo arched her back bringing there bodies closer to each other as Toshiro bit down on her neck harder. She tried not to scream or moan out loud her hardest as she parted her lips slightly. Her body was trembling and she felt dizzy suddenly. It was like heaven and she didn't understand it. The flashes kept going on and on but Momo hardly noticed.

Ashley was shocked. She had never seen someone who was picked up from no where and tossed into a shoot so... good. She couldn't believe it. She was even a bit better then her, not that she would ever admit it out loud to anyone. Jealousy rang through her instantly as she watched Momo moved and pose perfectly for the setting of what was happening. It was amazing. But then, she noticed Toshiro's jaw move once and then twice, and then a third time. It kept moving and his lips kept traveling. Ashley smirked. Momo couldn't model, Toshiro was really pleasuring her up there. Ashley chuckled as she noticed. She stood from her chair and moved over to the photographers side and cleared her throat.

"Does she taste that good Toshiro that you can't even get enough of her in a shoot?" Ashley's voice rang through the studio. Everything stopped at an instant. Momo snapped her head up and in Ashley's direction as her face turned redder then a cherry. Ashley laughed. Toshiro however did not withdraw himself from Momo, he was frozen. His mind had totally left out the fact that they were still in the studio and he had just sucked and bit at her skin probably enough to leave a huge red mark. He didn't want any of them seeing it if it was there. "That's pretty sad that you'd have to do that to make her look so real in the photo's. What's wrong Momo, can't do your own work without the help?" She asked innocently with a laugh, the photographer sighed out loud as he glared at Ashley.

"Those were turning out to be the best photo's ever and you had to disturb them for that! Who cares! I'm getting my job done and there getting the job done and it's perfect! So what's the problem!?" The photographer screamed at her. Ashley's eyes widened in shock. Momo looked at him bewildered. He turned towards her and smiled nicely. "You were doing great Momo, Ashley here is just afraid to admit you were doing better and looking better with Toshiro then she ever was." He informed. Ashley growled and stomped her feet childishly before walking angrily out the door and slamming it. Toshiro looked up from Momo's neck and chuckled. "I think we are done for today, these pictures are marvelous, they'll be perfect." He said before shutting down his computer and standing up. "Oh, and Momo, I hope to see you back sometime soon." He smiled at her, she giggled and nodded before laying her head on Toshiro's shoulder.

------------------------

Toshiro walked through the doors of his huge house with Momo in his arms. Her head was resting against his chest as he walked with her up the stairs holding her bridal style as her sleeping form hardly moved; only the raising and falling of her chest has she breathed through her mouth. Toshiro smiled down at her and he made it to her room and kicked the door open lightly, carrying her to the bed. When he settled her down, he lightly began to pull his arms from under her and then started to take the silver shoe off her feet. They had allowed her to keep the outfit that she had used but she

wasn't very excited about it. She wasn't going to ware it ever again apparently.

When her feet were finally free from the shoes he pulled the covers over her body and kissed her forehead. She shifted a little and her eyes fluttered half way open as his blurry figure began to become clear. Momo groaned and she turned on her side so she was facing him and smiled lightly. Which he returned. Rain drizzled outside making small thumping noises on the roof and Momo shuddered at the thought of another thunderstorm.

"Can you stay with me?" She asked lowly feeling the blood rush to her cheeks. The storm that she could swear was going to was messing with her brain, she just knew it when those words came out of her mouth. But when he smiled and hope filled his eyes her heart fluttered and for some reason she didn't regret asking him to stay.

"Of Corse I will." He said happily. Momo smiled lightly and moved over a little as Toshiro sat down on the side of the bed and started to take his shoes off. Afterwards he climbed into bed and pulled the covers back over the both of them. Before she could think about her actions, she cuddled up into his hold and buried her head into his chest while his breath hitched with shock. But then triumph overtook his whole being and he encircled his arms around her waist.

"I'm falling for you, and this is bad." She mumbled after a few seconds of silence. Her eyes were closed and she was close to drifting back into sleep. She felt Toshiro's body vibrate with laughter.

"Oh come on, it can't be terribly horrible." He whispered before burying his nose into her hair and breathed in the sent with a sigh. Momo giggled as his breath tickled the top of her scalp. She shrugged her shoulders.

"It's not horribly bad, but it's not good." She replied. Toshiro shook his head and closed his eyes with a sigh. His hold around her tightened and he pulled her closer.

"Then I'll just keep pushing until you think it's better then great." He informed as he glanced down at her. Momo picked her head up and looked into his eyes and smiled.

"You just do that." She giggled while wrapping her arms around his neck and pulled him down so there foreheads were touching.

"Believe me, I will." He whispered before ducking down and capturing her lips in his. Momo smiled into the kiss as she for once decided to let everything go and give into the moment. There lips moved against each others and the kiss became more forceful, more needy. Momo broke away as she gasped for air as Toshiro's lips found her neck and started to land kisses in that area. Momo wrapped her fingers in his hair pushing him closer until he bit down and made her wimper lightly.

Toshiro pulled away and smirked down at her. Then it hit her, why he was smiling and thinking he had her.

"I said I was falling for you, not that you've won yet. Mark my words Toshiro Hitsugaya, I will not be yours." She smirked up at him and stuck her tongue out as she withdrew her arms. So she had given into his touch for tonight and the photo shoot but she still wasn't done showing him you can't force someone into your life.

"I'm looking forward to this change from now on then." He whispered before pulling her back down to his chest and into his arms as she heard her giggle and nod before sleep over took the both of them.
