I instinctively turned toward the voice, as I turned several shades of red. My hands involuntarily moved to cover myself, but caught them in mid movement and tried to act as if it was no big deal.
“Honey, I think that would look just great on you if it were not for those white briefs. And don’t be embarrassed. Think of me as like a doctor, I have seen it all and I am here to help you.” The middle aged woman made not attempt to hide the fact that she was checking me out from head to toe. She was thin, with ample tits and nice legs. “Turn around for me again honey, slowly.”
I followed her instruction without a thought. As I turned I looked over at Kathy, who was just standing there smiling.
“By the way, I am Tina. I own this place. Helping folks like you back here almost makes peddling all that crap out front worthwhile. Anyway, I think I have something that will work better for you over here.” She walked around a rack and pulled off a leather bikini brief and a wide collar with a leash clipped to the single ring.
“Sweetie, you would just look great in anything!” Tina was talking to Kathy as she held out my selections. She was checking out Kathy as much or more than she had me.
“Thank you.” Kathy replied.
“What do you have there?”
Kathy held up the corset.
“No, no. For you more is not better, less is better.” Tina took to corset and then handed Kathy a red leather crop to match what she already had on. “I would suggest you remove the bra and just go with the bottoms. Why don’t you two get changed and we’ll see what we have. And honey, this time loose the briefs” she was talking to me again.
Kathy just slipped out of the bra as I returned to the changing room. I closed the door and changed. “Sweetie, you do look awesome. Have you considered modeling? I know some people that would pay very well, whether you were clothed or not.”
“Thank you, again. That is kind of you to say. I keep that in mind.” Kathy smiled and winked at me.
“Ok, honey. How are you doing over there? About ready to show us your new look?”
“Ya, one sec.” I replied as I pulled up the bikini briefs. I grabbed the collar and started to put it on as I pushed out the door.
“Let me help you with that, honey.” Tina stepped over and took hold of the collar, securing it snuggly around my neck. She grabbed up the handle of the leash with her left hand, as her right hand roamed my ass. “Here you go sweetie.” Tina said, extending the leash to Kathy as her right hand now groped my growing cock.
Kathy took the leash, which was fully extended now. She gave it a slight tug, and I moved closer.
“Well, what do you thing?” prompted Kathy.
“I like what I see.” She paused. “But there is something that is still not just right.”
With that the curtain parted and three girls entered. They looked to be high school aged, or at least questionable for meeting the posted age requirement. Looking at us they froze.
“If you ladies are 18 or older, come on in. If not, get out now.” Tina said sternly.
One girl started to turn as another spoke, “were all 19” grabbing her friend and continuing into the room.
They were staring at me and Kathy. I could feel myself turning a darker shade of red. Kathy pulled on the leash, tugging me closer to her until my head was next to hers.
“You ok with this?” she whispered.
“I am a bit uncomfortable at the moment.” I replied.
“Ok, let’s go then.” She released the leash and returned to her dressing room, as did I.
Emerging fully clothed we handed the items to Tina.
“Oh, are you sure you don’t want any of this? It did look great on you.”
“Oh, no thank you.” Kathy replied.
“It was interesting to try, but I’m not convinced enough to buy now.” I said.
“Well, come back any time and I would be glad to help you find just the right thing. I can order other things if you have anything specific in mind. And, you sweetie, remember about the modeling. I might even be able to convince them to include your honey here too.”
We slipped past the curtain as the girls continue to watch us and whisper back and forth.
“Ok, girls, how can I help you?” Tina was on the girls now.
Kathy and I held hands as we exited he store.
“I need a drink” I said as we turned to head down the street.
“That caught you off guard, didn’t it?”
“Ya, it was fine until the girls walked in. I mean it was a bit uncomfortable with Tina there, but I was getting past that. I just flashed to Tuesday when I’ll be buck naked for the class and figured wearing underwear in front of a stranger was not much different.”
“Well, it is different. That stuff in there is supposed to be sexual, whether you are fully naked or not. Class on Tuesday is ‘art’, which is not intended to be sexual. More like when we were at the lake today.”
We reached the first bar a block down from Tina’s and ducked in to find it relatively empty for 11pm on a Saturday night. Then again it was a “local” bar, rather than the student hangout just off campus. Sitting at a window table for two we were immediately greeted by a waitress.
“What can I get for you?” the waitress asked.
“Do you have Fat Tire draft? If so, we each have one.” I replied.
“Ok, let me check your ids and I’ll have those for you in a minute.”
I pulled out my wallet and handed over our ids. After a quick glance she handed back the ids and left for the tap without another word.
“She modeled for Kate earlier this year. It is surprising the number of folks I run into that do modeling.” Kathy noted. “She posed with her six month old girl. It was heart warming to see the baby snuggled up to mommy and sleeping. I think it would be nice to have pictures like that if I ever have children, but I have to find the right guy first.” And with that she nudged me with her knee under the table and winked.
“Wow! Now that was a leap down the relationship path.” Is all I could managed to say, as I slipped our ids into my wallet.
“Hey, you never know. I think we have been having fun thus far.”
“Ya, that is true. It is just looking down the road that far, it really hadn’t crossed my mind. I guess I was just enjoying the present, not trying to set any expectations or goals.” My head was starting to spin, and I hadn’t had that much to drink yet. Now I really needed something stronger than an ale.
“Oh, me too. It is just that the mind wanders and the mouth moves.” Kathy paused as the waitress returned with our drinks.
“Here you go.” She placed two pints on the able with a basket of popcorn. “Can I get you anything else? We have some hot wings and fried calamari that are pretty tasty.”
I was a bit lost in the conversation and staring it Kathy’s eyes.
Without breaking our gaze Kathy replied “one order of calamari, please.”
“Great, I’ll have that out to you in a few minutes” and the waitress disappeared again, leaving the uneasy seriousness that descended on our table.
“I am glad that you feel comfortable enough with me to be able to share things like that. It is the way it should really be. I just didn’t expect it so fast” I managed to dribble out after a pause that seemed to last forever, I broke my stare to reach for the pint, which was now screaming my name. I needed something in my mouth before I said something stupid.
“So, does that mean I can still stay over tonight?” Kathy asked without looking away as she reached for her pint.
‘Yes, of course.” I replied after a couple large gulps of the cold liquid, the taste not even resisting.
I reached out and caught her hand going for the popcorn. Her hand was warm. I gave it a gentle squeeze and a kiss. She returned the squeeze as our hand rested, intertwined on the table.
We sat in silence drinking our pints and nibbling at the popcorn as our hands danced together. The silence was broken when the waitress returned with the calamari.
“Careful now, this is hot.” She paused. “I’m sorry, but you look familiar.” She continued looking at Kathy. “But not from here. Do you go to the community college?”
“Yes. You modeled with your daughter for one of my art classes. It was really beautiful to see the two of you together.”
“Oh, thanks. Kate talked me into that. Normally I only pose for private sessions for her and a couple other local artists, but I needed a few extra bucks.”
“Kate can be persuasive. I have been modeling for her classes too. Bill here is going to be giving it a try for the first time next week.”
“Oh, really? You to posing together? You do make a cute couple.”
“Thanks. This time he is going solo. We have not discussed posing together. Might be best to wait until after his first session.” Kathy giggled and gave my hand a squeeze.
“Ya, it doesn’t always workout, but I am sure you will find it fun.” She was now talking to me. “If you would be interested in posing with me, and she will let you, I could use a guy to work with that I know, before showing up at the studio. Actually that goes for you too.” She smiled back to Kathy. “My name is Mindy.” He extended her hand toward me.
“I’m Bill, and this is Kathy.” I said, shaking her hand.
“Nice to meet you both, here’s my number if you are ever interested.” She said as she scribbled her name, number, and a URL on a napkin. “I think I should give this to you,” handing it to Kathy, “or you can stop by here any evening. I am always here.”
“Thanks, we will keep you in mind.” Kathy replied. “How often do you pose?”
“Oh, usually I have something every other week or so. It all depends when I get away from here and have child care, also what they want. There are tons of calls for photo sessions for the web, you know the lingerie and stripper stuff, but I avoid most of that stuff. Most of what I pose for is drawing, painting, or private photo work. Although, the web stuff can pay a bit better if you get a good contract. How about you?”
“Most of my modeling is for Kate and her circle of friends, so it is mostly paint and drawing. I have done some sculpture and plaster castings.”
“That’s cool. Well, I’ll let you too be for a while. Let me know if you need a refill on your drinks or anything.” With that Mindy moved of to another table and started chatting with the folks.
