Chapter 1: The Scream
One hundred dollars. It's a lot of money in grad school. It had been a while since I had any extra money, and it sounded like a remarkably good deal, just an hour of standing around. Except, that it was standing around nude.
I'd gotten by for the first few years of grad school living off the money I'd saved from my last job, but most of that money had run out. Now in addition to doing research and writing a thesis I was working two part-time jobs. I got by, but just barely. A hundred dollars would make it a lot easier.
But maybe getting the hundred dollars wouldn't be as easy as it seemed.
"Wasn't that sort of โฆ weird?" I asked her. She was Kelly, my friend, who had put me on the deal. A hundred dollars for posing nude for an art class.
"No, not really. Well, it was at first, but I got used to it."
I found myself at home, starring at the napkin Kelly had written on. It had the phone number of the teaching assistant in charge of the course, a woman named Alyssa. I finally decided, what the heck. I had been weight-lifting over the last few years and wasn't ashamed of my body. It just might be a little awkward for a few minutes, then it would be OK. I called Alyssa, and she asked me to come down for an interview. What sort of interview was necessary I couldn't imagine, but I agreed.
Three days later I found myself outside a dingy grad student office, not terribly unlike my own. I knocked on the open door and was asked to come in.
"Hi, I'm Alyssa Colter. Are you Jeffrey?"
"Yes," I managed to get out. She was quite pretty and the V-neck sweater she was wearing led my eyes down to her beautiful tits. I quickly lifted my eyes back to hers. We shook hands and she asked me to sit down.
"Shut the door, if you would." She looked me up and down. "Are you nervous?" she asked. I guess I looked it.
"Well, maybe a little," I admitted. I didn't expect a beautiful woman to be part of the interview.
"That's natural, it's fine. This will be your first time modeling nude?"
"Yes, yes, it is. It will."
"Well, I find the best way to get over that is to get used to it. As such, I prefer to conduct this interview naked. Would you mind taking your clothes off?"
I couldn't believe what was happening. "I'm sorry, what?"
"Well, you see, we have a lot of people chicken out on us at the last minute and then we're left without a model. So a couple of years ago when I became TA I started asking applicants to strip in here. I mean, if you don't feel comfortable with just me, how will you do it with a room full of people?"
While I could sort of understand the logic of this, I wasn't too thrilled about it, especially since while she was talking my penis had started to swell.
"Hmmโฆwell, ok, but, I'm sort of having an erection."
A sort of devilish smile crossed her face and then was gone. "It's not like I haven't seen one before. Go ahead, please."
I started to take off my clothes. First my button down shirt, then my undershirt, at which point Alyssa let out a sort of thoughtful "hmm" sound. I then unbuckled my belt and pulled down my pants. My face felt like it was on fire because my dick was sticking straight out inside my boxers, but what could I do. I pulled these down as well and stood there perfectly naked.
I'd been trying to avoid looking at Alyssa the whole time I was stripping, but now I looked straight at her. She had come out from behind her desk and was standing not four feet away from me. She seemed to be studying every last bit of my body, slowly and thoughtfully, although I thought she spent an extra long time looking at my cock. As she did so see stood with her arms crossed, one hand to her face, and biting one finger. As she looked me over she was swaying back and forth ever so slightly, and it made her breasts sway as well, just a little out of rhythm with her body.
"Could you turn around, slowly, please."
I did as she asked. She spent several minutes looking me over from behind. Now that I wasn't facing her I realized just how much my cock was throbbing. Instead of feeling embarrassed as I had at first I was beginning to feel immensely turned on. I knew, or thought at least, that she was probably just examining me from a professional standpoint, but having a beautiful girl stare at your body and hardened cock is extremely sexy under any circumstance. And perhaps, I thought, maybe she was looking on with a little more than professional curiosity.
Then she asked me to turn back around again. Every time I moved I was painfully aware of my dick swinging up and down and a little side to side. Again, for several minutes she scrutinized my body. She had moved her hand to her hair and was sort of teasing the blonde shoulder length curls there as she eyed me. I noticed then that her nipples were clearly sticking out of her sweater, which made my dick swell uncontrollably. The thought hit me very suddenly that she probably wasn't wearing a bra, which made me take a sudden sharp breath. She looked up at my eyes suddenly, and as I darted my eyes to meet hers I wondered if she knew what I had been looking at.
"Ok, you can sit down, but please leave your clothes off."
I sat down, somewhat awkwardly. Sitting in a wooden chair naked was not something I was used to doing. The chair had no arms and for a moment I was very unsure what to do with my hands. When I looked up Alyssa looked sort of amused.
"So, why are you interested in posing?" she asked.
"Well, in all truth, I kind of need the money."
"Ah, yes, I can understand that. You're not doing this out of any, oh, strange titillation you get from posing nude before a lot of young women just out of adolescence."
"Um, no." Although I had to admit I was getting quite a thrill posing for her.
"Well, I have to ask. We've had some strange ones before."
"Yes, I can understand. But, er, well, what do you mean in front of young women? Isn't the class both male and female?"
"Well, yes, there are a few guys. However," she paused and smiled "it seems that this class has developed something of a reputation among the freshmen. It seems I usuallychoose, let's just say, unattractive models. This discourages many guys from signing up." She paused again and looked me up and down again. "You, however, definitely break that trend."
"Well, um, thank you."
"Not at all. You have a very classic male body. It's nice to see for a change." She looked me over again, her eyes lingering once more on my erection. She took a deep breath, and it seemed to me that her breath was a choppy, a hint of excitement revealed by the slight staccato of her breath.
She looked back up at my face, cleared her throat, and went on. "Now, you have to be relaxed while you're posing. You're going to be up there on a stage in front of, as I said, a lot of attractive young girls who have are going be staring at you for nearly an hour. You have to ignore them and stay relaxed. Now here's how I want you to stand."
She came out from behind her desk again and stood next to me. Her hand was less than two feet from my cock. No woman had been so close to it in several months.
"Stand with your arms at your sides. Good. Now relax your legs. Don't lock your knees, you'll pass out. That happened once. OK, that's good. Spread your legs apart just a little more, and put one foot a little forward." She stood there then staring, again, at my dick. "I know there isn't anything you can do about that, but, usually we'll want to draw the human male with the penis, um, relaxed." Her talking about it definitely wasn't helping. "Hmm. OK, you can sit down again."
