ON THE SET| |By Tod Hunter
Just Another Day in L.A. ‘Love, Lust & Longing’ from Wicked Pictures
It’s a linear narrative: The way they interact is
there’s a food truck that comes to the back every
night, and the characters interact there. And the
owners of the truck are Nick Manning and Asa
Akira, so one night they take a break inside the
food truck. Kurt is a gentleman who, we find out,
is having trouble with his wife for what seems
to be a short while. He’s just staying there until,
he thinks, they resolve their issues. Symbolically,

She licks her way up his leg and starts to suck
him. Soft popping sounds. She licks both hands
and corkscrews them around Lockwood’s dick,
then settles into stroke-and-suck. He caresses her
hair, moves it out of the way. She puts her hands
behind her back and starts sucking, alternating
fast and slow. “Can we go more aggressive?”
Allen asks. She does. “Pound on the wall.” He

scene in a bedroom. The bed is flanked by floor-
to-ceiling bookshelves, making a frame around
the head of the bed. Several books have to be
turned around to conceal the titles on their
spines.
Before the cameras roll, Lockwood walks up

to drake. “What should I not do?” he asks. “I’ve
never worked with you before. I’m so nervous.”
“Don’t hit me,” drake says.
“I quit!” he explodes in mock outrage. Then
they draw Allen into the conversation. “Start
with oral, go into mish?” Allen nods approval.
Ladd will take the brunt of the photography, but
Allen is also shooting: “I’m going to climb a
ladder and shoot ’50s detective style down
through the ceiling fan.”
When the scene starts, the tension is evident
between the two experienced-but-not-with-each-
other players. When he kisses his way down
to her pussy, she looks at him, ready to make
eye contact, but he doesn’t look up so she lets
her head loll back, luxuriating in the pleasure.
During a water break he keeps teasing her as they
get ready to go back to the action. I overhear him
say, “When we get back let’s get your panties off”
and her response “Yes yes yes.”
On “Action!” he gets her panties off, pulls
her legs apart, goes in with his tongue, flicking
up and down, seriously backlit, as she gasps.
“Are we shooting hardcore and softcore at the
same time?” “Yes.” She cradles his head in her
hands, back arching, gasps “Oh uh OH YEAH.”
Looked like a real one. Theoretically they should
be transitioning to a new position now but they
aren’t going anywhere. “Oh yeah, I’m cumming.
Oh yeah. Oh my gawd.” Her hips buck. “Aaugh.”
Gasp. Giggle. Yep, totally looks real. He goes up
to her breast, then kneels up, pulls off his shirt,
loses his pants. She puts her foot up on his chest,
he kisses it. “Wow!” she groans. “I’m still having
aftershocks.”
He stands on the bed, reaches up to touch the
They start with reverse cowgirl. She leans back,
bracing on his chest as he thrusts up into her. She
has one hand on her clit as he pulls her legs wide
and grabs her hips, pulling her up and down on
his cock. The characters warm up to each other
until they settle into a casual mish, her with one
leg raised high, with a little dialogue punctuated
by kisses. The dialogue finished, he starts bearing
down. She puts her hands behind her head, long
enough to realize that it’s blocking her face.
Faster, harder, bed shaking, almost there when
she moans, “Gimme your fucking cum!” and
pushes him over the edge. He pulls out, ditches
the condom, and shoots across her torso all the
way up to her chest. She fingers some into her
mouth and smiles. Cut. “Stills!”
“I’m really picky, and I have a short list of
people I work with, and it’s for a reason,” drake
said, after the scene. “I thought Kurt was too
well-endowed, and our paths never really crossed.
But I saw him in 24 XXX and I thought he did a
really great job and it made me look at his acting.
He’s a great actor, and I like that. We’ve been
on set together but it’s been a really long time. I
think we were on a bus and I think I might have
blown him—you know, tasting the goods—but he
was great and I think I’ll keep him on my list. The
scene was a lot of fun, and that’s why I’m so picky
with the people on my list because I want them to
be people that I like, people that I have chemistry
with. If it’s someone that I would never bang in
my personal life—I’m not saying I go home and
have sex with co-stars—but if I would never have
sex with them in my personal life, I would not
have sex with them on camera.”

& Longing and almost walked into a shot-in-progress
of Kurt Lockwood, in coat and tie, carrying a couple
of suitcases. In another corner, just off camera, jessica
drake is changing her clothes, unselfconsciously stripping
down to panties and walking over to get her new outfit as
nobody pays attention.
The house, on a side street in the old-money Hancock Park
district, is remarkably homey and welcoming. Sunny yellow
walls, low ceilings and hardwood floors bespeak luxury and
elegance, but not pretense. Many windows let in natural
light and the back yard is visible from most of the house, its
inviting greenery reflecting direct and shaded sunlight. A
stairway leads to a large square hallway with four bedrooms
off it. Two are being used for the shoot, the other two are
being used by the residents.
“This beats the Valley McMansions,” says Alex Ladd, the
director of photography. “They’re all vaulted ceilings and hard
walls. Echoes. This is nice.”
“Love, Lust & Longing is about a bed-and-breakfast with
two live-ins,” writer-director Scott Allen tells me. “One is an
experienced prostitute—not old, but experienced—growing
tired of the business, looking for a way out, a new life.
The other live-in is a young girl, played by Allie Haze, who
lost her voice because she had a traumatic experience. Her
brother was dying in the street and she was yelling through
the neighborhood and no one came. So she felt her voice was
ineffective when her brother died, and she never spoke again.
