She was done in three or four takes. Then, upstairs to the bedroom for the main sequence. It was decided Vespoli would bring her stepson a load of laundry and accidentally interrupt his solo session, leading to their encounter.
“I did laundry and prepped for anal,” she quipped as she practiced walking into the shot, her shocked look, and dropping the hamper. Meanwhile, Bronson prepared for the scene, with no dialogue for his character in the strictly POV script. His job was to be the eyes of the audience, follow Vespoli’s lead, and deliver a strong performance. Lovings watched every detail on her monitor as the scene unfolded, down to the curl in Vespoli’s toes.
Ryan, who had arrived early at the location, waited downstairs for the second scene after finishing her makeup and filling out some paperwork.
“I like the organization and the standardization of the process,” she said of her working experience with Adult Time.
“They were one of the first companies I shot with after coming back from taking a break. So, I had four years off,” noting the change to production protocols in that period, with the addition of intimacy assistants and consent policies. “I think it’s important because things can get confusing on set otherwise.”
About that day’s shoot, Ryan also was interested in intimacy as part of the concept. “I feel like that’s something that’s important, but very hard to capture. Given that this world lacks a lot of intimacy on an individual basis.”
“The advent of OnlyFans, in its own right, has added a factor of intimacy because it’s kind of like the girlfriend experience,” she speculated. “I think it’s filling a void in some respects.”
With ample time before sunset, the second scene, “With Passion,” got underway outdoors. The warm sunlight bathed Ryan and Surreal in its fabled golden glow as they sat together against the scenic background of rolling hills. Surreal climbed onto Ryan’s lap—a gorgeous lesbian couple, kissing deeply and deeply in love. With their dialogue complete, the pair, holding hands, stood and walked off-camera as Lovings called, “cut.”
The slow, sizzling build of girl/girl love-making leaned naturally into a sweet squirting scenario for the main part of the scene. Mills had pointed out earlier that “squirting” and “lesbian” are also popular search terms.
“It’s very exciting to see that image that I had written down, come on in front of the camera,” Lovings described, “but it’s also very important to catch the small details. I get completely absorbed into what the camera’s doing so I make sure there are no small details that are being forgotten.”
In her role as an AdultTime brand ambassador, Lovings also wants to address mental health for adult performers. She has partnered with Adult Time to launch an industry mental health wellness workshop, which met for the first time in July. She hopes the project will grow into a resource for performers and industry members who may be struggling with mental health issues.
“Do You Trust Me?” and “With Passion,” the third and fourth episodes in Leana Lovings’ Intimately POV series will drop September 16, at AdultTime.com.
