Chapter 14
Jan drove in just after lunch on Thursday and I went out to meet her. She popped her trunk and I took her bag out and closed the trunk. She came around the car and took me into her arms, kissing me passionately. I didn't want her to stop she felt so good in my arms but it was chilly and we walked up the steps and into the house.
She was excited as she told me she had passed all her midterm exams and I congratulated her with a kiss. She thanked me for the genealogy report I sent to her, she agreed that it was easier to follow the families that way. I showed her the family tree program I had bought and she thought it was great but too bad it wasn't my family she said with a laugh. I also showed her the transcript of the witch trial and I said I thought it tied in with the strange language we found in the back of the book.
"Have you looked at the book any more since I left?"
"No Jan I haven't and to tell the truth I am reluctant to do so. It really makes me uneasy to think we may inadvertently mix the spirits with witchcraft."
She thought about it for a minute and agreed with me. "I think you are right, we should leave well enough alone."
I told her about the conversation I had with Etta and she was fascinated to hear that I could actually have questions answered.
"How have the cameras worked out, have you captured any images?"
"Oh yes" I answered "she came to me the very first night after sending me a message that said I would see her that night, and I did. The images are very hot and exciting, in fact on a par of your visit with Michael."
"I was allowed to be conscious for a few moments and then she pushed me back to dreamland and it was intense."
"Will you show it to me?" she asked
I said I would but first let's have some lunch. She said she could eat and I had some homemade soup that was perfect for a chilly fall day. Conversation was lively about her classes and I asked about Helen. She responded that Helen was fine but was a little scared to return for a visit. Helen said her orgasm with Michael was so powerful it was all she could think of for over two weeks and couldn't afford the distraction to her studies. I laughed and said I could fully understand her position. I told Jan that I was glad I was retired and didn't have to deal with work with all that was going on around here.
Jan was anxious to watch the video so we went up to the office. I showed her the system I had installed and showed her how I could switch cameras and remotely control the zoom. She joked that I would become first class voyeur if I wasn't careful. I explained that I wouldn't use the system without the permission of the individual involved.
I clicked on the video file of Etta in the living room as she checked to see if everything was where it was supposed to be as Jan looked on with amazement. I then clicked the file she really wanted to see and sat there with her mouth open as she watched Etta ravage me in my sleep and then when I awoke and held her for a few minutes before falling back to sleep and then the screaming orgasm that scared her.
I shut down the video and turned to Jan. She was looking at me with a concerned expression and said that was like her encounter with Michael. I held out my arms to her and she almost leaped across the distance between us. I held her tight and realized she was sobbing as I held her in my arms.
"What's the matter honey?" I asked
"How can I compete with that? That had to be the most erotic thing I have ever seen. I don't know if I could live and compete with Etta for your attention" she answered.
"Jan, I have the same thoughts about you and Michael but the difference is that we are flesh and blood and we have warm bodies to hold on to. I saw the video of Michael's visit with you and felt very inadequate. I am not a super stud but I want to be a lover that satisfies my partner. I want to be a lover that makes love to my partner, not one that just has sex."
"Caleb you are a fabulous lover so don't ever think you can't make the grade. I do agree that it is better to be able to hold and feel your lover rather than just have sex in your dream."
I asked her if she was going to sleep in the guest room or sleep with me. She said she would sleep with me but didn't know if we should leave the camera on. I said that was ok but I might be interesting to see if Etta or Michael would look in on us. She still wasn't convinced and I could understand her reluctance because we didn't know if we would feel threatened if they came in and observed us. I suggested that we just hang out and enjoy ourselves and not worry about doing any more investigating into the ghostly goings on in the house. We agreed to just go with what ever happened and not worry about it.
I showed her the camera equipment I had purchased and she wanted to look at the backgrounds. I looked at the rolls and it looked like they would just hang against a wall with the rod thru a couple of hooks. I thought I saw some that might be the right size in the barn so I went down and brought them back. It only took a few minutes to find some studs to screw them into and I hung the first background. It was perfect for the season, a beautiful fall scene with maple trees in full color. I rolled that back up and hung the second one. This was an ocean harbor that could have been over in Maine where Jan lived and she thought it might have been Perkins Cove. When I hung the third one I was surprised to find it was just a plain light mauve color that would be perfect for portrait work. I suggested that Jan let me take a few pictures of her so I could see how the lights worked with the background. She agreed and thought it might be fun to make believe she was a modeling for a fashion magazine. I asked if she had a sweater that she could change into, she did and went to change while I fussed with the lights.
When she came back I had to take I deep breath as I saw her in a sweater. It was form fitting and her breasts were two cones that were well defined. I couldn't see any bra line but I had to assume she still had one on because she was so high chested and there was no sign of a nipple. I found a stool for her to sit on or lean against and we tested some poses to see what would look the best. I adjusted the lights so there were no shadows against the background and a front light to erase any shadows on her face or under her chin. Jan was a natural as she posed and twisted herself giving me various shots of her face and body. I finished up after taking almost a hundred pictures and suggested we take a break and look at them on the laptop.
I made sure to start at the first one and as we scrolled thru the pictures they got better and better. I was getting used to the camera and lights and Jan was confident posing for me. Jan giggled and said it was too bad she didn't bring her bikini. I smiled and she added that she always had a fantasy of being a model.
"Well you sure do have the body to be one and I am sorry you forgot your swim wear because I would like to see you in your bikini."
"Well do we need a swim suit at all?" she asked
I took a deep breath and had a hard time answering her but I finally said, "We don't need anything at all but I don't know how professional I could be with you naked."
She laughed at me and walked out of the room and said to make sure my batteries were charged. I checked the camera batteries and then it struck me that she might not be talking about the camera. I smiled to myself as I waited for her to return.
