My first story here. I'm done a fair amount of writing but this is my first of this type. I know it's long -- kind of a habit of mine. If you stick around for the whole thing, I hope you find your time well-spent. All thoughtful feedback is much appreciated. Thanks for reading.
Chapter 1 -- Meeting Jenny
As soon as we stepped through the door, Jenny enveloped Kari into a massive hug.
I smiled to myself, knowing full well Kari isn't really a hugger but the smile on her face was convincing to anyone but me.
"I am so happy to see you again!" Jenny said, pulling away from my wife then turning to me. "You must be Bruce! It's so nice to finally have such a cute face to go with the name," she said as she threw her arms around me.
Now it was Kari's turn to have a smile at my expense. I'm even less of a hugger than she is.
"I could not be more excited for this photoshoot," Jenny said, as she led us to her office in the corner of the room. "Please have a seat and let's talk about what we'll be doing tomorrow."
The office was minimalist. A basic desk with what I knew was an expensive desktop computer equipped with the kind of memory and processor needed for the amount of photos Jenny must take on a daily basis. Opposite the desk were a pair of vinyl-covered wooden chairs. I took the chair nearer to the wall, tucked partly behind the computer's sizable monitor while Kari took the chair more opposite Jenny.
Kari had told me Jenny was your typical "artsy" professional photographer. Her hair was streaked with blue, red, green, purple and yellow. She called her studio Rainbow Portraits where she specialized in weddings as well as individual and couples photography. I estimated her to be in her late 20s or early 30s. Jenny was tall, about 5-foot-10, and thin. She was flat-chested but had a pretty face with high cheek bones.
"So, tell me exactly what you guys are looking for with this session?" Jenny asked with a smile that was both friendly and encouraging for whatever we wanted.
"Well, the session you and I did last year turned out great," Kari started. Kari booked herself a boudoir photo session with Jenny six months earlier. Christmas night, after the kids went to bed, she surprised me with a leather-bound book filled with the sexiest pictures of Kari I'd ever seen. I was shocked. While my wife is beautiful, a 5-foot-4, brunette with a deliciously curvy bottom and generous C-cup bust, she'd never indicated any desire to have such a steamy photoshoot with me, let along in front of a virtual stranger like Jenny.
That Christmas night I gawked like a horny teenager flipping through his first Playboy. Only the centerfold was my bride. She'd purchased several new sets of lingerie for the shoot, had her hair done in a vintage style straight out of the Great Gatsby and with every page I turned I found myself more in awe of the woman in the book. When I finally finished taking in the photos, I unwrapped my final present of the night -- her -- and we enjoyed each other with a ravenousness we hadn't enjoyed since our youngest was born three years before.
"That was a great shoot," Jenny said immodestly. "You looked fantastic. What did you think of your Christmas present, Bruce?"
"Best gift I've ever received," I said with a smile.
Kari continued, "And it was so much fun. I really didn't expect to enjoy the experience as much as I did. Being half-naked in front of someone other than Bruce is definitely not something I'm used to. But you were so nice and encouraging. It really was a good experience."
"Thank you," Jenny cooed. "I'm so happy to hear that, I'm tearing up."
"So, I just thought, maybe we should do a photoshoot together as something fun for the both of us," Kari finished.
"I love that idea!" Jenny's enthusiasm was genuine, and not just because she knew it meant a booking fee and a nice profit on prints. When I learned the photography industry calls this "investment" I made sure to not listen to the prices. Kari told me I didn't want to know, and I believed her. But even though this meant a good payday for Jenny, she never gave any indication other than sincere excitement and a desire to give us a great photo session.
"So, we were just wondering how this would work, with both of us, and what do we do? And" Kari was getting embarrassed, "what we don't do?"
Jenny gave us a big smile. She'd clearly been through this before.
"First off, you do whatever, and I mean WHAT. EVER. You want. As long as it's legal -- OK, you can't bring in your dog or anything," we all had a little chuckle.
"See, Kari, I told you," I joked.
Kari swatted my leg. "You're not funny!"
"For shoots like this," Jenny went on. "I see myself as having two jobs and they're equally important. One job is to document the love and passion you two have for each other. If you wanted just dick and tits pics, you wouldn't be here because you don't need me for that. You want a professional photographer so you two can be together in the moment and do whatever you please and I'm there to capture those moments in whatever form they take."
Kari nodded, appreciatively. "I was trying to come up with a way to word what we wanted but I didn't know how. But that sounds exactly what we're looking for."
"Great," Jenny said. "My second job is to help you two both be just as comfortable as you are with each other all the time, even with me in the room. Because if you're not comfortable, then those moments of passion and lust and joy and pleasure, aren't going to be the same. That's my job and that's what I'm going to do."
"So, what will you have us do?" I asked.
"Simply put, we'll do whatever you two want. We'll start out simple and go from there. We'll do two sessions, I think a casual outfit to start works best -- I'm talking jeans, a button blouse and some fun, cute, flirty underwear for you Kari. Bruce, you in blue jeans and t shirt. We'll get you two together hugging, kissing, laughing and, as we go, you'll gradually lose some layers. How far you go, is entirely up to you. Later we'll do another session, maybe starting a little more formal? Kari a dress, maybe? Or something with a blazer? With something sexy underneath. Bruce, you in a suit? And again, we start there and see where things take you.
"And as we go, I'll give you some direction, more at first, but then, as we continue, I like you two to take the lead. You guys know each other, and the more you two are you, the more you'll forget I'm there, even as the camera is clicking away. And again, do anything you want. We can go as light or as heavy as you want. We can do PG-13, you both stay in your underwear or some covered nudity. We can go full nudity -- think of it as Rated-R, topless, maybe some shots from behind. Anything from the front is obscured or very brief. Then we can go something like softcore -- like late night cable. Kari you can ride Bruce but nothing explicit shown, penetration-wise.
Jenny paused for a moment before adding, with a mischievous flash of her eyes. "Or we can go full, hardcore."
At the mention, Kari started to blush and fidget with her hands. "I'm not sure about that," she said.
"Well, again, it's entirely up to you. But honestly, a lot of the difference between a hard Rated R and Hardcore is mostly in angles and editing. Am I shooting from the side or behind? What's kept in versus what's cropped out. All I ask, is you don't put any barriers on yourself ahead of time. Keep an open mind to how you and Bruce feel and want to share. I've had many sessions where my clients feel much more relaxed than they expect."
"Really?" Kari asked, with some surprise.
"As you said yourself, you enjoyed your boudoir session more than you thought you would, right?"
"Yes," Kari acknowledged.
"Also, I have a question for you, and this explains why people relax more than they think," Jenny announced, rather suddenly.
"Ok," Kari said, a little taken back.
"Show of hands. Who here enjoys sex?" She asked bluntly and raised her hand high. Kari and I looked at one another, a little surprised and unsure how to respond.
"Come on guys, simple question. Who likes sex? I love sex. My husband and I fuck all the time. Love it. Bruce, I bet you love sex with Kari, right?"
I smiled, a little awkwardly, before answering. "I love it."
"Then raise your hand."
I did as I was told.
"What about you, Kari? Your husband is an attractive man. Do you enjoy having sex with him?"
