"3...2...1. Okay next pose!" Someone shouts from the crowd.
This was originally going to be your shoot but running a cosplay shoot and being part of one was a difficult balancing act. It's actually kind of a relief to have someone else shouldering the responsibility, leaving you free to simply enjoy yourself. You take your new pose and wait for the endless click and flash of cameras.
"You're still wearing that cosplay." A voice whispers in your ear.
You ignore it. Clearly it wasn't meant for you.
"3...2...1. Okay next pose!"
You swap your position.
"You're still wearing that cosplay." The same voice repeats in your ear. "After all these years."
His lips are close enough to brush your ear. His breath tickles you neck. A shiver runs down your spine. Something about his voice is incredibly sexy, husky and masculine but without that macho note that sets your teeth on edge. This is the kind of voice that's sexy in its own right not, because he's trying to be. You shake your head, trying to get clear it of those kind of thoughts.
His voice is also somehow familiar, a distant half forgotten memory that still manages to stir something in you.
You start to turn around.
"Please everyone hold still while we're taking the photos." The voice in the crowd calls out.
You freeze, suddenly embarrassed that you moved, even more so that you reacted to him in the first place.
"I love this cosplay." You whisper back. "She's a certified bad ass."
"Of course." He whispers and you can hear the smug smile in his words.
"3...2..1...change poses." The voice shouts.
You turn, trying to see who the hell this guy behind you thinks he is, but everyone has shifted position. All you can see are the backs of so many white wigs. Someone who you know isn't the man you were talking to asks to pose with you.
You don't want to be rude.
You find a pose and hold it.
"Alright." The voice shouts. This is your chance, you know they have to be running out of poses. "How about ladies in the front guys in the back?"
Fuck.
Clearly whoever is running the shoot has to be in league with the mysterious stranger. You're torn between your own curiosity and your desire to get great shots and not to let the bastard, whoever he is, know he got to you.
Even if something about the mysterious stranger is oddly erotic.
You take your pose and wait.
The stranger doesn't disappoint.
"I always knew you'd pull that cosplay off." He whispers. "Leather pants suit you."
You can't help but smile, you've always liked the way you looked in leather pants.
"I have the hips to pull them off." You whisper.
"You have the ass to pull them off." He corrects you.
You smile again, pleased that he noticed.
"I didn't want to brag." You say quietly.
You hear him chuckle softly.
"Don't be modest." He whispers and again another shiver runs down your spine. "I know you know just how sexy you are."
"Keep that formation but change poses." The voice in the crowd shouts.
"Are you still there?" You ask your curiosity getting the better of you.
"Yes." the voice whispers simply.
A shiver runs down your spine.
You know you could turn and look. He's right there. There's nothing to stop you. Yet something about this game make it so much hotter not knowing.
"I'm not that sexy." You tell the man. "I don't look like-"
"You're beautiful." He says cutting you off.
"How do you know?" You ask. "Maybe it's just this cosplay."
"I've seen you." He says.
Somehow you feel that he really has seen you, the real you. He's seen all the way down, all the way into that secret part of yourself that you thought no one could see. The idea of that causes distant stirrings of arousal deep inside you.
How is he doing this to you? How is he making you feel these things with just his voice, just his words?
"I've seen the pictures." he says and suddenly the arousal is gone, replaced with ice cold fear.
"Wh-What pictures?" You ask, terrified but also knowing exactly what pictures he means.
"You know the ones I mean." he whispers. "The one's of the real you. The sexual you. Those naughty, powerful, wonderful.... Boudoir photos."
"Give us another pose." The voice shouts.
You start to turn, erotic mystery be dammed.
Yet even as you move a hand comes around and gently grabs your throat. You feel the plastic barrel of a toy gun against your temple.
"Yeah hold her hostage!" one of the photographers shouts gleefully.
You don't have to look to know it's him.
"I deleted those." you whisper through clenched teeth.
"Yet some part of you just can't let them go." He whispers. His body is pressed up against yours, tall, lean and full of muscle.
"Every time you delete one set you upload another, and each time that happens it's more explicit then the last." he tells you.
"They're just pinups." you protest, feeling yourself flush, embarrassed that someone like this knows your secret.
"They're beautiful." he says his lips brushing your ear in a way that almost feels like a kiss. "Just like you."
"I don't do that kind of thing anymore." You tell him with a shake of your head. A photographer groans and you glare at him until he turns away. "I got tired of the harassment"
"Some people can't appreciate art." he says and you smile. "besides for every vocal dickhead I'm sure a thousand silent men like me wait, breathless, for the next upload."
You snort derisively, sure it's not true, sure his words are lies and exaggeration.
"Change poses!" the voice shouts.
You don't even try to move instead waiting for the stranger to take the lead and show you what to do. The toy gun comes away, a foam sword rising up to take its place against your throat. You can still feel him pressed up against you. With a start you realize his crotch is pressed tight to your ass. You give it a wiggle. There's a sharp inhale near your ear. He wasn't expecting that, and better yet he likes it too.
"Behave." he growls softly.
"Is that really what you want?" You ask feeling the part of you that always gets you into trouble coming out, the same part of you that suggested that maybe a cosplay bdsm shoot would be super hot.
One of you hands slinks back behind you, away from the cameras, and suddenly you can feel his cock hard against your hand, straining against the fabric of his bright red pants. He gasps as your fingertips brush the shaft. You smile.
"I though you didn't do this king of thing anymore." he whispers, his breath ragged as your fingertips playing with his cock.
"I said I'm trying to stay out of trouble." you whisper, "but it looks like trouble found me."
"Are there any other poses anyone wants to see?" the voice asks, a common symbol the shoot is wrapping up.
"Looks like our time here is almost over." he whispers and you feel your heart sink, he might have been done but you were just getting started. He pulls away from you and the sword leaves your throat.
"Will I see you again?" you ask hating yourself for sounding like such a clichΓ©.
"Maybe." he whispers and his voice sounds far away.
"8 o'clock by the water." you blurt out.
There's no response. You turn around. Whoever he was, he's gone now. Had he heard you? If he had would he be there? You don't have any answers, but you do have hope. The fire he's lit inside you is still burning but all you can do is wait.
***
The night is calm and while not cold definitely has a chill in the air. If you'd been dressed for it then maybe it wouldn't have been so bad but you'd forgotten about the other shoot you had planned and had to run to get here in time, and even then you barely made it here in time.
