As Don's emotional connection to April grew, he realized something important was missing from his life. He got lots of hot sex from several hot women, but he felt almost no emotional commitment. April was the only woman who inspired feelings like that, and her status as a married woman meant they could never be together. Don got plenty of sex during the day, but slept alone every night.
Don felt this wasn't a big problem - yet. Like any healthy man in his 20s, Don had a strong sex drive and a deep appreciation for the fact that he got a lot more pussy than most men his age. He did not want to trade what he had for a life with just one woman. At least, he didn't want to do that until he was older. As time went by, Don realized that someday he'd want a monogamous relationship.
Until then, April was the closest thing he had to a soulmate. She was closer to his age than the college girls who modeled for him; some of those women were as young as 18, and he found that he often had nothing to talk about with them. They'd pose for him, have sex, then go back to their dorm rooms. He didn't think about them until the next modeling session, and they didn't think about him. It was glorious when it started, but it eventually became a familiar routine that wasn't such an adventure.
As the relationship with April deepened, they both looked for ways to become more intimate. Since Don loved photography - and took a lot of artistic photos when he was in art school - he got the idea of taking erotic photos of April. He didn't plan to sell them; he wanted the photos to serve as mementos of the times they spent together.
"I've always liked seeing swimsuit pictures that show models all covered in lotion and sweat," April said. She liked the way moisture enhances the tones of their skin and highlights the curves of their bodies. "Could we do that?" April said.
"Sure," Don said. "I'll get some baby oil tomorrow."
Don decided to shoot the photos against a black background instead of the white he used for fashion photography. He also picked a darker, moodier lighting that was more appropriate for sexy pictures. Since April was an enthusiastic practitioner of yoga, they decided Don would photograph her as she assumed one yoga pose after another.
"You look gorgeous in these images. Just gorgeous," Don said as they reviewed the images. April saw that Don managed to find elements of sexy sensuality that she didn't realize she possessed. She saw no difference between Don's images and the work of famous erotic photographers.
"I wish we could publish these photos," Don said.
"So do I," said April.
Don was proud of the work he'd done, and April was thrilled with the way she looked. "But there's too much risk of somebody recognizing me," April said. "I wouldn't want to have to explain why I posed nude for you."
It was a secret she had to keep from her husband, so the pictures couldn't be seen by anyone. Don processed the images he liked best and arranged for 12 of them to be printed. He used an online photo lab so there was no chance any of the photo techs in a local lab recognized April. He put the prints in an album he gave to her.
"You made me look beautiful," she said.
"All I did was point the camera and get out of the way," he responded.
As weeks went by their thoughts frequently returned to those photos. They talked about the possibility of hiking out to some remote area in a nearby state park so they could take nude photographs in nature. But it was too dangerous; they couldn't risk the chance of April being seen with a man who wasn't her husband.
One afternoon Don showed her a website that featured high-quality erotic photography. "I wish we could submit your pictures to an outlet like this," he said.
"That would be nice," April said. "I'd love that."
Finally, Don got an idea.
One evening when Don had some free time, he opened Photoshop and began manipulating April's pictures. He changed the color of her hair from strawberry blond to a lustrous dark brown. He darkened her skin several shades and used a filter to get rid of her freckles. He widened her eyes, elongated her face, and changed the shape of her nose. As a final touch, he put a tattoo shaped like a star on the back of her right hand.
By the time he was done, April was unrecognizable. From the neck down, she looked almost the same. But there were so many changes that it was impossible for anyone to connect April to the photographs. Don had created beautiful pictures that presented most of April's sensual beauty, but were safe to submit to erotic websites.
It took some time to find a place for the photos. Don had no professional connections in that particular industry. The job was complicated by the fact that it's so easy to find medium-quality nude photos online for free. There's not much demand for high-quality work.
Don eventually found a website that wanted to publish April's pictures. The payment wasn't much, but that wasn't important. He just wanted the world to see April the way he saw her.
On the day the pictures were published, Don and April logged on to the website and looked at them. They were beautiful. Sensuous. Hot. April noted that every one of the models on the website was stunning, and she felt proud to be in their company.
"We did it," Don said. "I hope you like it."
"I love it," she said. "Thank you for this."
April kissed Don on the cheek. He turned toward her, grasped her chin, and pulled her to him for a deep kiss. They made out like teenagers, grasping and groping as they sat at Don's desk. They finally wanted more, so they walked to the bedroom and took off their clothes.
Don thought it was a good time to eat April's pussy. He spread her legs, kissed around and around her lips, then settled in for a lengthy, relaxed session of cunnilingus. April knew Don well enough to realize that he was going to be down there for a while, so she closed her eyes and relaxed as she concentrated on the way he made her feel.
Don's tongue licked up and down her wet slit. She writhed on the bed beneath him, luxuriating in sensation. He knew exactly how to make April climax, and it wasn't long before she was calling out joyfully as the orgasm shook her body. He paused long enough to let her catch her breath, then resumed kissing, licking and nibbling her tender, sensitive flesh.
He made her cum a second time, then moved up to have some missionary sex. April had other ideas. She rolled Don on to his back and climbed into the cowgirl position. She sat up, pushed his cock all the way inside her, then moved like a belly dancer. April saw that Don was gazing upon every inch of the front of her body. He had so many ways of making her feel desirable. She felt his hands caress her sides, her breasts, her thighs, and her undulating belly.
She was trying to make Don cum, but that's not what happened. Sometimes Don did a particularly good job delaying his orgasm. This was one of those times. The harder April tried to squeeze his cock, the more she ended up rubbing her clit against his body. She moved up and down, right and left, forward and back, and still he didn't cum. She finally felt an orgasmic wave erupt inside her pussy as her own climax began.
April fell forward. Don wrapped his arms around her body and rolled her onto her back. Finally, he was ready to cum. He moved in and out as slowly and gently as he could, but it wasn't easy because his cock had other ideas. It wanted to slam into her pussy as hard and fast as possible. April put her hand on the back of Don's head and encouraged him.
"Give it to me," she said. "I want it. Give me your cum."
April felt Don's cock throb and fill her up. It left her pussy feeling good. Sometimes, as April drove back home, she savored the feeling of having Don's cum inside her. She particularly liked it when he came in her ass; the sensation of fullness was more pronounced, and there was the added pleasure of her delicate little butthole feeling tender after being stretched by Don's hard cock.
Don had hoped he could make April climax a third time, but her first two orgasms finished her. She thought it was fine to just lay back and enjoy the feeling of Don's cock inside her and the way it throbbed wetly when he finally climaxed. April felt sure that none of the women she knew enjoyed so much good sex.
"Deciding to have sex with you was the best decision I ever made," she told him.
They were both aware that their intimacy had grown in ways that had nothing to do with sex. April cared about Don's thoughts, and he cared about hers. The work they did on the nude photo project was a good example of the fact that they shared a lot, and wanted to share even more. As they lay in bed recovering from having sex, they thought about how good April's pictures looked online, and they wished it was possible to post unaltered pictures that showed her exactly as she was.
"I hate that you have to go," Don said as he kissed April goodbye.
"I'll be back soon," she said.
The studio seemed very quiet after April went home. She left Don enjoying a warm, satisfied feeling that seemed like it would last forever. But he knew it wouldn't last long at all. That afternoon Maria would model for him. She always made him feel aroused and ready for more.
Don showered, made his bed, and spent a few hours processing images on the computer. The workload never stopped. He had to be disciplined about taking lots of pictures, processing them quickly, sending the image files to his clients, then getting up the next day and starting all over again. He'd taken so many of these assembly-line pictures that he seldom felt any artistic satisfaction. He'd mastered the task completely. There was no creative challenge anymore.
That might have been one reason Don was increasingly focused on enjoying sex with his models. Maria knocked on his door, and walked in with a big smile on her face.
She loved modeling. She loved the pretty clothes, the steady stream of compliments from Don, the paycheck, the chance to see herself online, and she loved having sex with Don every time they finished shooting for the day. Maria was 20, a college sophomore, and she knew her life was more exciting than most other coeds.
"I guess that's it," Don said after they finished taking pictures of the last outfit.
