Chapter One – The Models
Jennifer cradled a cup of coffee between her hands. She parted her lips and blew a firm stream of air out over the top of the cup in an attempt to cool the hot liquid. She let her eyes drift up slowly, out the glass door, to catch the flutter of red leaves falling from a tree in the backyard. It was mid morning and she was sitting at her neighbor's kitchen table. Both of the women had just placed their kids aboard a bus that would take the children to school. After waving goodbye, they wandered back to Krista's home to share a cup of coffee and chat, as they have done every weekday, before starting their day.
"Sure is cold out today," said Krista as she pulled a chair back to join Jennifer at the table. "It's supposed to be like this all week. Looks like winter's coming early."
Jennifer shifted her eyes from the window and back to Krista to watch as she sat down, took another sip and placed the cup down on the table. "There is never a dull moment in this neighborhood while you are trying to raise a few kids and husbands."
"I am almost thinking that the husbands are harder to raise." Krista chuckled, paused and then added, "You wouldn't believe what Keith asked me to do the other night."
"My guess is he asked you to let him play golf with my Jason this weekend."
"No, not even close." Krista added as she turned her head towards Jennifer. "He asked me to do something for him; something he has never asked of me before."
This got Jennifer's full attention. She put her cup down, turned, and made eye contact with Krista.
"He asked me to model for him."
"Is that all? I thought it would be something terrible."
"It's not terrible, but, I am not sure it isn't a little ..." Krista dropped her eyes and paused, "he asked me to be a boudoir model."
"I've done a little of that for Jason and all I can say is that the two of us actually had some fun with it." Jennifer let her eyes drift up as she giggled remembering the session.
"No, he wants me to model for Todd."
"Isn't Todd the same Todd you work for?" Jennifer asked knowing that Krista was employed by a local photographer.
"Yes, that Todd, and I am just not sure if I can do this for him. Keith first asked me to model a month ago, and now I've heard his request every week since then. About a year ago Keith took a number of pictures of me nude when we stayed overnight at a hotel. I didn't think they came out bad, but Keith was very disappointed in the results. He had seen some of Todd's pictures, and he was comparing his results against Todd's. He said Todd has a "Playboy Like" quality. Keith has been bugging me ever since. He really wants me to do this. And I just can't bring myself to posing in front of another man."
"Wow, I wasn't expecting that twist."
"Jennifer, if I asked you a favor, would you help me?"
"That depends upon what you are asking." added Jennifer.
"Would you take these pictures of me for Keith? I just don't know if I can pose half naked in front of another man. Especially considering it would be my boss!"
"Well... I don't know. How would we do this and when could we do this? Neither of us have a good camera, nor do I think we have a computer capable of printing any pictures. If you had them printed someplace else, how would you make sure the pictures wouldn't be seen by the wrong people?"
"I could
borrow
a camera from work. Though I would have to get it back quickly before Todd finds it missing, and I could use his business computer to process and print the pictures. But I would have to use the computer after hours to make sure no one is watching over my shoulder. And I would need to replace the expensive printing paper that I use, before he notices it missing."
"Is Todd really that much of a micro manager that he will notice?"
"Yes, and he has fired people in the past when he caught them stealing his supplies. I don't think he'd do that to me, but I don't want to lose his trust in me, I've been working there for three years now."
"I guess we'll need to be careful. That explains how we could do it, but it doesn't tell me where and when."
"I was thinking we could do it next week at this same time, but in my bedroom. You could take the kids to the bus stop while I get ready. By the time you see them off and get back to my house, I would be ready to model and all you would need to do is snap away." Krista paused hoping her friend would come through. "Please say yes. Keith really wants this and this is the only way I can do it."
"Won't Keith question who took the pictures, since he will know they were taken in your home and suspect it might be someone other than Todd?"
"Maybe, but I will tell him that Todd came to our house to take the pictures. Keith leaves early for work. I don't believe he would ever guess it was you I mean, you don't even own a good camera!"
Jennifer scratched her head and looked away thinking and finally added, "Okay, I'll help you." Then thought about her session with her husband and added, "Who knows... this might be fun."
***** ***** ***** *****
During the week the two women exchanged questions and finalized their plans. By the end of the week they were ready.
On the morning of the scheduled modeling session, Jennifer arrived early at Krista's home to round up all the kids. Jennifer herded them all off to the bus, while Krista retired upstairs to prepare herself.
The bus was late, which gave Krista more time, but Jennifer returned flustered and somewhat irritated.
"Where are you?" She called, finding nobody there to greet her. "And where is the camera?" shouted Jennifer as she closed the front door and made her way hurriedly into the house.
"Come up to the bedroom. The camera is on the bed." Krista shouted from the bathroom.
Jennifer climbed the stairs, stepped lively down the hallway, and turned into the bedroom.
"Did you find the camera?"
"Yes!" shouted Jennifer, "But I thought you said you would be ready."
"I'm still doing my hair. It's been awhile since I've used hair curlers."
Jennifer entered Krista's master bedroom and found everything in place. The king-size bed was positioned in the front of the room; it was made, covered with a quilt and half a dozen pillows. The room showed the streaks of having been recently vacuumed, and everything was in place. It was clear that Krista had spent a lot of time making sure the bedroom presented itself well to the camera. Krista moved around the room to pre-select different camera locations.
Jennifer had just positioned herself to the rear of the bedroom when the far door opened and out stepped Krista. At forty-five Krista was still able to turn heads on the street. She stood five feet four without shoes, sporting a slight tummy from kids and years. She was thin compared to others of her age; one would call her appearance 'pixie-like' except for the thirty-four 'C' breasts, which could still stir the pants of any young men. The full mane of black hair stopped just below her shoulders framing them and accenting her breasts. She walked into the room wearing a full length black negligee. Soft swaying movements from underneath the material told the story that she was naked except for the gown.
"Very nice choice of outfit," said Jennifer looking through the camera's viewfinder, "do you have any suggestions to where you would like to pose? Or would you like me to suggest a few?"
"I think if you tell me what to do, it will help take a bit of my nervousness away."
"Okay, how about moving over into the light, between the bed and the window, where I can also catch your reflection in the mirror."
Krista moved over to the spot Jennifer was pointing at and turned to provide Jennifer a side view of both her ass and her breasts."
"Very nice."
FLASH
. Jennifer took a couple of fast shot as Krista slowly moved in this location.
FLASH. FLASH
. Two more shots were taken as Krista lifted her hair up with both hands and slowly moved her breast into Jennifer's direction. As she turned towards the camera, the light from the window peered through the black material and exposed her breasts to the camera. This would be the shot that both women selected as the best much later when they had time to examine the pictures together.
Jennifer had taken about fifty pictures when Krista said she needed to change her outfit. Jennifer waited as Krista changed into a short white lacy top, matching g-string, and heels. Returning to the bedroom they took another thirty shots of her rolling over the bed. Krista changed again and returned in a teddy. The teddy was so sheer that it did very little to hide her erect nipples or the neatly trimmed black bush between her legs. Jennifer posed her sitting in front of the mirrored closet doors. The pictures provided a double view of both sides of Krista. One from the camera's view and the second from the reflection in the mirrors. Her long legs and smile added to the picture's excitement.
Jennifer was able to take well over one hundred and fifty shots. She could sense that Krista was getting into these shots as she looked through the view finder and watched her with each new picture. She also felt the wetness between her own legs as she imagined it was her in front of the camera and not Krista.
The entire session took two hours. Jennifer placed the camera down on the bed just as Krista came over to give her a big hug. A somewhat surprised Jennifer could feel a very warm and soft body, as Krista planted a kiss on the cheek and thanked her for taking the pictures.
"Let me help you select the best pictures for Keith after you have them printed. I enjoyed taking them and would love to see how they came out." Jennifer added as she returned Krista's hug with one of her own.
Jennifer looked back at her near naked neighbor one more time as she left the room and made her way down the stairs. She was thinking that she may need to ask Krista to return the favor for her and Jason. But that request would have to wait.
