This story comprises of 16 short chapters (all written) that will be released in turn as I edit them.
Like many of the submissions on here this could have been placed in a variety of genre's; Loving Wives, Fetish, Novels & Novellas but I felt it was best suited to Exhibitionist & Voyeur.
As always constructive comments are welcome but please don't tell me where the story is going after reading one chapter.... You might be wrong!
Please remember it is just a story and like with so many of them, there are always a few liberties taken with reality.

Jessica's Epiphany
~~~ Chapter 2 ~~~
"I'll do it." I suddenly blurted out without really thinking about what I was saying.
Tom stared at me, his expression one of total shock, "What?"
"I said I'll do it. Richard thought I was the model anyway." I said somewhat timidly.
"But you've never...." He started to add.
"That is if you think I'm good enough?" Swallowing nervously, I could feel my stomach tighten and I immediately began to regret what I had just agreed to do.
"Of course, you're more than good enough Jess. I told you that yesterday evening." He grinned at me with an expression of relief, "But are you really sure?"
"This mess is all my fault. I should have arranged to have a second model available."
"Babe it's not your fault, not in the slightest."
"I should have thought of it." I responded rather weakly, "So it's up to me to...."
"You are amazing." Tom cut me off mid-sentence, taking hold of my shoulders and kissing my forehead, "Let me tell Richard what's happening while you go and get ready."
Watching my husband go over to talk to the client I took a deep breath and did the same, heading over to our photographer, wondering what sort of response I would get.
"We need a model so I'm going to stand in. But you'll have to help me Kelvin because I won't have a bloody clue what I'm doing."
He stared at me incredulously for a moment, obviously trying to decide if I was being serious, before smiling reassuringly.
"Sure Jess, we'll make it work, don't worry."
With that he ushered me into the bathroom with Madison to have my make-up done properly and to change into my first outfit.
Sitting patiently on the toilet seat I let the photographer's assistant work her magic while I nervously twiddled my fingers and wondered, not for the first time, what I had let myself in for. I had never modelled before and the idea of being in front of the camera wearing nothing but some underwear terrified and, strangely, excited me at the same time.
'
Could I really do this?'
If I didn't I knew Richard Danville would take his business elsewhere.
'Why was a small part of me finding the prospect of being half naked in front of our client so arousing?'
Not that that mattered, there was no way I could change my mind, not if we wanted to have any chance of getting his signature on the contract.
Too much depended on us getting Richard's business and it was my error that had left us in this situation in the first place.
Like it or not I had to do it.
Wiping away the smidgeon of cosmetics I had put on that morning Madison opened her box of make-up and went to work on me.
False eyelashes went on first before being darkened and lengthened with a liberal application of mascara. A deep grey eyeshadow and black eyeliner was followed by a little foundation and blusher and finally a sultry red lip gloss to finish my look.
"There, take a look in the mirror Jess." She suggested me when she finally stepped back.
I stood up and stared at the girl whose reflection looked back at me.
Was that really me?
My eyes had a sexy and distinctive 'come to bed' look that sent a shiver through me while the rest of my make-up and hair was simply perfect.
"Best get the first outfit on." Madison prompted me as I lingered, gazing at the sex goddess that stared back at me.
Looking hesitantly at my first costume I felt my stomach tighten again.
'This was it, there was no way I could go back.'
While the black lace bra and French knickers were fairly conservative, compared to some of the other underwear, I would still be appearing in front of everyone, including Richard Danville, in just some skimpy lingerie.
Taking a deep breath, I pushed my nerves to the back of my mind and started to undress.
Adding a pair of hold-up stockings and my 3" heels to the outfit, I quickly got ready, my stomach tying itself in knots as I dressed.
A few minutes later I paused apprehensively at the bathroom door, part of me terrified at what I was about to do while, somewhere deep down, there was also that growing flicker of excitement I had noticed earlier.
'I was aroused.'
'Was the thought of exhibiting myself turning me on?'
"I think you're incredibly brave." Madison's voice jerked me out of my deliberations and I turned and smiled at her.
"Thanks."
"Seriously, I couldn't do it." She smiled back and opened the door for me.
Struggling to comprehend what was happening to me I swallowed nervously and stepped out of the temporary changing room. My heart thumping frenetically against my ribs as I crossed the bedroom and entered the living area that would be our first backdrop.
In that moment all I could think of was to run back and shut the door behind me, when I heard a voice.
"Wow, I think I guessed right when I came in."
Richard was the first to speak, his eyes roving up and down my exposed frame, from my black stilettos up past the black hold-up stockings I had put on and all the way up to my blue eyes.
Next to him my husband said nothing, simply staring at me totally speechless, his eyes wide and his mouth hanging open.
Their reaction was exactly what I needed and I felt a small surge of confidence flow through me.
"You look absolutely perfect Jess." Kelvin whispered as he guided me into position.
True to his word he tried to make things as simple as he could for me, but I was still a bundle of nerves when I started to pose standing at the end of the large sofa.
"Turn towards me a little."
I could feel everyone's eyes on me and my stomach lurched again as, once more, I wondered what I thought I was doing.
"Now pout."
"Head back."
"Sit yourself on the arm."
"Cross your legs."
His quick-fire instructions had me moving as he wanted and I very soon forgot that my husband and our prospective client were watching as I tried to follow them, while he clicked away with his camera.
"Ok, let's change the outfit."
I was taken by surprise when, a few minutes later, he stopped without warning and suggested I put on some different lingerie.
Much to my amazement I found my heart rate had slowed and there was more than a hint of moisture at the top of my thighs when I went back into the bathroom.
Reappearing a few minutes later, wearing a lacey bra, thong and suspender belt in a vivid emerald green with black stockings, I took a moment to enjoy the look on the faces of my husband and Richard Danville.
Both of them were wearing an expression of desire but, while knowing my husband was enjoying the show, it was our client's salacious gaze that sent my pulse rate soaring again.
With my confidence growing by the minute, I began to play to my small but appreciative audience; occasionally glancing at them from under lowered lashes as I again followed Kelvin's instructions. This time he had me posing by the large table; leaning against it, laying across it and sitting in one of the chairs.
I was barely aware of the minutes passing as I found myself working hard, going through several different outfits. However, I quickly relaxed and was enjoying my time in front of the camera, despite finding it nerve wracking and harder than I thought, and it was just past midday when Kelvin suggested we stop for a short break.
It seemed rather pointless getting dressed as everyone had been looking at me all morning, so I remained in the underwear I had on, a rather simple white bra and panties adorned with little red flowers, as I drank my coffee.
I desperately wanted some time to talk to my husband but Richard made a point of cornering me as soon as we paused.
"Well, I have to tell you Mrs Prescott very I'm impressed so far. You are clearly very dedicated to your company and winning this contract."
"Thank you." I blushed.
Not wanting to offend him and do anything that might put getting his business at risk I simply had to stand there and put up with him leering at me.
"Perhaps I should insist that you model for the whole contract term." His salacious chuckle made me shiver while the thought sent a delicious tingle of excitement straight to my loins.
"Oh no, I.... I wouldn't. I mean we'll get a professional model in for that."
"That's a pity. I was looking forward to seeing a lot more of you." His gaze wandered lasciviously up and down my body as he said it.
His double meaning wasn't lost on me and part of me hated the way he ogled me. However another, much smaller part, seemed to be enjoying it and I found my pussy getting wetter at his lustful scrutiny of me.
'Why was this arousing me?'
