[HD] Sharks Illustrated: Valentine Edition (Desktop Wallpaper)

You rushed to the beach in the morning. It have been a very hectic start of the day. In early morning you received a call from your agency for a last-minute photoshoot for a magazine. They are repeat clientele  and have been using your agency for quite a while now. When you arrived at the location, it was already daylight. The sun had risen high enough that they could use full spectrum lights without having any issues with shadows or glare. You are working solo for this one, no backups, no crew, just you. You are used to working solo, but never on such short notice. You even just received a note that you should meet some blue skinned shark girl on set, no names are even given. At least the pay is good, you will be paid after you hand over all pictures for publication. Today's shoot has lots of different looks and poses so hopefully you can get through it fast. Once again you were asked by your agency to work with something weird, you don't really mind though as long as you're getting paid well. But what do they want today? Well its not like there is much to do beforehand anyways. So you started looking around the area where the picture needed to be taken, an old wooden pier right next to a harbor mouth. Its already 6 AM when you arrive here and starting work immediately. There aren't many people about yet and most of them seem to be fishermen who leave their boats unattended on the wharf. Some of those guys look pretty rough too, which makes sense since they probably have been out fishing all night. You quickly noticed at the corner of your eyes, a tall shark girl with toned body just standing near the pier. She almost seems to be waiting for you, staring at you intently. After a moment she starts walking towards you. Her movements are smooth and graceful, her tail swishing back and forth behind her. You try to keep your gaze away from hers but every time you glance up, she is still watching you. Your heart starts pounding in your chest suddenly, making it hard to breathe. This is not normal! What the hell is happening? She stopped before you and moved closer to you. "Good morning," she said softly with a smile. She introduced herself as the model for picture you are going to take. "Hi there, you must the photographer for this shoot. I'm Maru". said her softly. You tried to speak, but your voice would not come out. Instead you nod slowly. "Yes, hello, nice to meet you." you managed to squeak out instead.

"I am looking forward to working with you today," she continued. Her words made your blood run cold. "Maru, huh?" you ask. "That is my name", she replied. You both stood there awkwardly for few moments. She wore black bikini with shorts and white knit beach cover up, topped with a sun hat and sunglasses. You noticed that she had large tattoos on her back: a large rose and thorn tattoo on her back. They seemed to be more than just inkings. The way they shimmered under the sunlight gave off magical light, almost like they were alive. "So where are we taking pictures today?", you finally asked. Maru told you that they wanted to take pictures in various locations along the shoreline of the ocean. You agreed to follow wherever she lead because you did not know how to deal with this situation. As you walked together on the pier, she kept glancing back at you occasionally. Everytime she does that you feel your heart jump into your throat. You fear she might see your cheeks blushing red, but she only smiles gently and keeps looking ahead. "Do you normally do shoots alone?" you asked her. "Not usually. Normally I work with a team, someone to help me with hair and makeup. But the magazine agency is a bit on overdrive lately for the valentine, so they just send me alone. I'm used to it though, unusual but ok." replied Maru. "What is this magazine?" you inquired. "Its a new adult swimsuit edition for a popular magazine. The theme this year is 'love'", she answered. You looked down for a moment then glanced up again. Her expressionless face was still smiling, and her big yellow eyes were gazing straight into yours. You could not escape from her stare. "Are you afraid of sharks?" she asked. You felt a chill running down your spine. "Um, No!" you exclaimed hastily. Maru giggled, "Well, you don't seem to be. I thought maybe you'd be scared. Sharks can be scary sometimes. Especially if they are angry", she said with a soft chuckle. "Angry?" you asked confused. "Oh, they don't always want to eat you. Sometimes they just get mad. Like you seem to be doing right now. Don't worry, I won't bite!", she laughed quietly. Your mind went blank for a second. A moment later you found yourself laughing nervously as well."

You both walked to a quiet part of the beach. You redied the your camera equipment and checked your settings. You find that everything is fine, so you start setting up your tripod. "This is the spot?" she asked curiously. You nodded shyly and pointed at a shallow water with unlimited landscape of the sea. "Ok, let's go!" she commanded. You followed her into the water. The waves were gentle enough that you could walk without being kicked by the surf. When you arrived at the place, Maru took off her bikini top. You gasped loudly, then turned away to hide your embarrassment. Maru gave you a wink and pulled off her shorts and bikini bottom. You gasped audibly and Maru give a sly giggle. "What is it, You never seen a nude shark before?" she teased. You shook your head helplessly. "No, no...it's nothing..." you mumbled. But you couldn't stop your heart from beating fast. Her skin was warm, smooth and oh so inviting! You could feel sweat forming between your thighs. Maru saw you staring at her bare breasts. "They're nice aren't they? I love them myself.", she commented with a smirk. You didn't answer but you did blush furiously. She reached out and caressed one of her breasts. The sensation sent shivers down your spine. "See, they are super soft. And firm too." she added, stroking it again. You tried to be professional but it was to no avail. Your breathing grew heavier and your head started spinning. Your lips parted and your tongue unconsciously licked your dry lips. Maru noticed you drooling and smiled wickedly. "Looks like I have an effect on you...." she whispered huskily. You swallowed hard and looked away. "Well you better take a good pic of me!" said Maru. She posed provocatively, spreading her arms wide and arching her back. You snapped several shots of her exotic curves. Your hands trembled slightly as you pressed the shutter release. You were very aware of your own body heat. Your nipples hardened as you took the picture. Your stomach felt fluttery, like butterflies dancing in your belly. You forced yourself to look away when you realized what was happening. "Wow..you are quite talented, aren't you?" she complimented. "I'm glad you think so. It means a lot coming from such a beautiful model", you replied. Maru laughed softly. "Thank you, I try my best to stay fit," she said. "Mmmhmmm..." You agree, nodding enthusiastically. Maru put her hand on your shoulder and looked deep into your eyes. "Your turn now", she said, pointing towards the water. You nod slowly. This was getting out of control..........

An additional piece I made for Valentine's Day! Featuring the shark we all know and love, Maru! (I drew her a bit differently today though, with that "old style" shark head.
