ADULTVIDEONEWS MARCH 2005 - ON THE SET - Lexie and Monique Love Rocco

Two black curtains block the view of civilians passing through this busy street corner in Venice, the site of the art gallery where Monique Alexander has come to fuck Rocco Siffredi in the first boy/girl scene of her Vivid career.

"You like?" Rocco whispers to Monique as he wraps his arms around her. "What do you feel? Don't look at me. ... I want you to feel. ..."

The 18-year-veteran stud is using all his Italian charm on the 22-year-old Alexander, the Sacramento native who began a career in adult in fall of 2001. He knows she is nervous about the scene, which will be part of Lexie and Monique Love Rocco.

Feeling confident about how the scene will unfold, Rocco bets "all the money I make on this movie" with director Paul Thomas to show how serious he is about being "the sweetest man" with Monique.

"What do you get?" someone asks.

"She's enough," he replies.

The setup involves Monique's character Miranda strolling through Siffredi's art gallery, where he finds her and seduces her.

"Rocco, I think it'd be great if you sat down and then had Monique dance for you. I would like to see that," Thomas says in the direction of both stars.

"OK," Monique says softly, turning toward Rocco. "In front of you or on you?"

What a job.

Earlier, Thomas said he wanted them to "discover" the scene. Rocco reclines on the leather chair. Monique touches herself slowly and moves as if there is music playing. She is graceful, feminine. Hot. Her striptease is amazing.

They break before the sex, and Rocco remarks, "They think I'm just rough. I have a bad rep. ... I like pussy. They don't understand."

Monique sips Kenwood wine from a red cup. The scene begins, and Rocco helps her off with her clear heels. She improvises a dance with no music. She points her toes and bends her legs just right. It seems as though everything Monique does is sexy. Even her moans sound good. I look in Thomas' direction and he nods and smiles. No words are needed.

Vivid will release Lexie and Monique Love Rocco in April.
