My name is Joe and this is part three of a true story that happened within the last two years. It is the story of my wife's, Carla's, photo shoot with Bradley. Bradley is an artist commissioned by a French collector, Stephane, to take photos of a bold, beautiful American woman and then do sketches and oil paintings of her.
A week before the cocktail party at our villa, I said to Carla, "I need to fly to Miami for a short meeting."
"I want to go to pick up some clothes from our home in Key West," she said. "I'll go there while you go to your meeting, then I'll meet you in Miami and we can do some shopping. I want to go to Sak's for a little black dress and some shoes for our cocktail party next week. Bradley told me I was also going to need a conservative swimsuit for the photo shoot, so I need to find one of those."
I said, "Great. We'll fly out tonight and come back on Monday in time to meet with Bradley."
Carla and I met after my meeting and we headed to Sak's to go shopping. We went to the swimsuit department and she picked out several to try on. She went into the dressing room to try on each suit, then came out wearing each one for me to see and give my opinion.
After the first few, I said, "If you want to be conservative, the bottoms need to have more coverage, but the tops are fine."
She went over to the suits again and found some with more conservative bottoms. There was another couple there and the woman was trying on suits too. We guys were just sitting outside the changing area offering our opinions.
From the dressing room I heard Carla say, "I think I found the bottoms."
She came out of the dressing room with bottoms on, but no top.
Carla said, "What do you think?"
The other guy was totally speechless. All he could do was stare at her tanned tits.
She saw him staring, glanced down at her tits, and then looked back at him and said, "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you; I don't usually wear a top."
He said, "You look great."
I laughed and said, "I think those are conservative enough. They should work well, but you better wear the top too."
After that we went to the dress department.
To the saleslady Carla said, "I'm looking for a little black dress for a cocktail party. I want it to be really sexy and small with lots of cleavage."
The woman said, "I think we have what you are looking for. You look like you are about a size six, is that right?"
Carla replied, "Yes."
Carla went in the dressing room and the saleslady brought three dresses for her to try on. She liked the first dress she tried and came out for my approval. It was a backless, short, black dress. It left her tanned back completely bare, had a plunging neck line in the front, and was open on the sides.
She said, "What do you think?"
"I love it," I said. "It is you, do you think its to revealing for this occasion?"
She turned to the saleslady and said, "We'll take it."
Next, we were off to the shoe department. She showed the shoe salesman her black dress and said, "I would like some blacks heels to match this. No hooker heels, but something close."
He said, "You are a seven and half, right?"
"That's right," she said and smiled at him. "You are good."
He came back with four pairs for her to try on. He took the first pair out of the box and helped her put them on. Carla, as usual, had on a short skirt that rode up pretty high when she sat down. I was sitting across from her and knew what she was doing.
The salesman looked up at her and asked, "Um, how does that pair, ummm, feel?"
I knew why he was hesitating while talking to her. Her dress was so high up that he was looking straight at her bare pussy. I knew he could see everything, because I could too.
She stood up and walked around in the shoes, as she did the three other pairs. She made no effort to hide her suntanned pussy. The poor sales guy had a very-obvious, huge hard on that started after the first pair. He was so flustered by the time Carla was finished with him that he could hardly speak. Carla bought the shoes she liked the best and we left for the airport.
When we were in the air, she said, "Do you like what I bought for the cocktail party?"
"Very much. You will look beautiful," I said. "My biggest concern today was the shoe salesman. I thought he might have a stroke."
Carla laughed and said, "Does my behavior of late upset you?"
I said, "No, not at all; it really turns me on. Keep doing it. I just want to be there when you are showing your stuff."
"I will make sure you are always there," she said. "I had a fun time teasing both of those guys at Sak's. After I came out of the dressing room topless, I got really turned on. I knew right then that I wasn't going to put my panties back on to go buy shoes. Those shoe guys are always trying to look up women's dresses, so I made sure there was something for him to see."
When we landed, Carla had a message from Bradley. He had called to say that the photo crew had arrived.
She called him back and asked him, "When should we all meet?"
He said, "Is Thursday morning at 10am, okay with you?"
Carla said, "Great. We will be at the villa."
Thursday morning they arrived right on time.
Bradley did the introductions for us, "This is Jacques, who will be your photographer. This is Jean-Marie, his assistant, and over here is Philippe, your make-up artist."
I said, "Welcome to our villa. Please make yourselves at home."
Jacques said to us, "I would like to talk with Carla and you. Bradley, could you please show Jean-Marie and Philippe around the villa and we will meet you back here when you are finished?"
Jacques and Carla hit it off immediately. He was very French, but with a pleasing and even funny personality. He went over every step of the project for the next few weeks. He had Carla laughing constantly, which helped put her at ease.
Philippe and Jean-Marie came back from their tour. They both complimented us on the beauty and setting of the villa, gardens, and pool area.
Philippe asked, "Where can we set up our equipment?"
Carla said, "We have a bedroom over there, near the pool, where you can put your equipment."
Philippe and Jean-Maire went to look the room over, came back, and Philippe said, "That should work well." Jean-Marie agreed.
While Philippe and Jean-Marie were moving their equipment into the bedroom, Carla showed Jacques the villa. Bradley and I went out by the pool and sat in the shade and talked.
After everything was moved in Carla said, "Lunch is served."
While we had lunch, Jacques said, "I would like to get photos inside the villa, in the garden, and pool area, so I can study the different areas that Carla will be posing in. Jean-Marie will study the area for the best lighting.
Jacques said, "Friday afternoon I want to start the photo shoot with Carla in business attire in Joe's office. After that, we will take some shots around the villa with her in casual clothes."
I said, "I will get my office, and especially my desk, cleaned up."
He said, "Tomorrow evening at the cocktail party, I want to get photos of Carla in her cocktail dress and shots of both of you greeting your guests. I would also like get shots of you as a couple and then just Carla throughout the evening as she mixes with your friends. Carla, will that plan work for you?"
"Yes, that's fine," she replied.
Jacques further explained, "Jean-Marie and Philippe will not be present at the party because it might be too obvious that it's a photo shoot. After the party we will take the weekend off to see St. Maarten and rest and relax."
"Aside from the party, Jean-Marie will set up the poses and the lighting screens for the best effect. Philippe will be doing all of your makeup and hair styling. During the photo shoots themselves, he will be video taping the process. The video will be used for backup, in case I miss a great pose. When we are through with it, we will give it to you for a souvenir. You will also get a complete set of all photographers, if you wish."
"Over the weekend I will also be working with Bradley on the photos that we will take on Friday. Bradley will let you know when we will be able to start on Monday."
Jacques continued, "My crew and I have worked together for many years. Stephane and I have been close friends for many, many years."
He looked at Carla, smiled, and said, "I reviewed the photos that Bradley had sent to Stephane. I think you will be a very good model, because you are so confident and have such a beautiful body."
Carla said, "Jacques, those pictures are not me. I just got carried away with the moment. Bradley is so easy to pose for that I just went too far. I don't mind posing in tiny bikinis or even topless, but I had never done total nudity for anyone but Joe, until Bradley got me naked. I have recently posed nude for Joe on Orient Beach and in the early morning I walk Plum Bay Beach nude trying to prepare for this job, but I am still not sure I am ready to pose naked for all of you and your cameras."
Jacques smiled, laughed, and said, "We have done many nude photo shoots and I want you to be at ease with us. You don't have anything that all the other women we have take photos don't have, other than your beauty. If you have felt comfortable posing for Bradley, you will be good with us. I understand from Bradley that a little wine helps you relax. Well, it helps us too. We will have plenty for all of us. When we are doing the nude photos, Philippe and Jean-Marie will be scantily dressed to help put you at ease. I understand from Bradley that your friend Debbie loves to be naked as well. While I don't think we will want any photos of her, she could be here for moral support. I would suggest that whenever possible these next couple of weeks, you should be nude or, if necessary, wear some very loose, flimsy garment that will not leave any pressure marks on your body."
"Carla, from what I have seen you are a very stunning woman with smooth skin, firm breasts, narrow waist, and a flat tummy," he added. "You are going to be a great for this photo shoot. Stephane would not have let Bradley choose you if weren't beautiful. We all feel very fortunate to be working with such a stunning model. I would hope that you would just let us do our job and use your body as our subject. I do think you need to know that it is a real honor to have been chosen by an art collector of Stephane's caliber. I think if you will allow us, we can all have a lot of fun in this project, and that includes you too."
Jacques looked at me and said, "Joe, are you okay with your wife being our subject for the next few weeks?"
