Kimmie had just turned 18. Her conservative, southern parents would have been surprised to know that she had become sexually active about a year earlier and had lost her virginity to her only serious (and current) boyfriend six months ago. Her parents would have been floored to know that Kimmie also had a very active sexual imagination. That curiosity had her browsing the internet to see if she could arrange to have some risqué photos taken to give to her boyfriend for his upcoming 20th birthday. So far, she had learned that what she was interested in was called a "boudoir" photo shoot. She needed the photographer not to be local, though, because everybody knew everybody in the small town where she lived.
The nicest studio she found was near Atlanta, almost an hour's drive away. When Kimmie called, she learned that the studio closed at 5:30 during the week and all Saturday appointments were filled until after her boyfriend's birthday. Kimmie had cheerleading practice after school, so she couldn't get there on any weekday when appointments were available. She was so disappointed that she couldn't surprise her boyfriend like she wanted, that Kimmie started to cry softly. The young receptionist, Kelly, felt sorry for here and said she would talk to the photographer and call Kimmie back if something could be worked out.
The next day, Kelly called back to say her boss was a pushover for a "damsel in distress" and that Kelly had "guilted" him into finding an appointment for Kimmie in time for her boyfriend's birthday. So, he agreed to schedule a 6:30 appointment the following Tuesday if Kimmie could make it. Kimmie was so happy that she actually started to cry again, this time for joy, and she promised she would be there on time. They chatted a little about Kimmie's makeup and what to wear, and Kimmie must have thanked Kelly a dozen times. As they hung up, Kelly said she hoped to meet Kimmie someday, but she went home at 5:30, so maybe they could meet when Kimmie came by to review her proofs. "You'll have a great time," the receptionist assured Kimmie.
Ever since she began having sexual thoughts, Kimmie had fantasized about being nude in front of other people. She liked to look at naked women in magazines she found in her older brother's room or on the internet, and she always imagined how it felt to be so exposed to the camera and anyone watching. Kimmie knew that boys and men looked at those photos and thought about touching the women and more. It was that idea—of someone wanting to touch, or even use, her intimately—that turned Kimmie on the most. Those thoughts always came to her when she became sexually aroused, and it was almost as if a new, more uninhibited Kimmie was unleashed. When she was alone, that was also the point in her fantasy when Kimmie would begin touching herself and end up masturbating, which was exactly what happened for four straight days after Kimmie booked the appointment.
On the day of her appointment, Kimmie was anxious at school and a few times questioned whether she should go through with her plan. But whenever any doubt crept in, she thought about how much the sexy photos would excite her boyfriend, and how that would lead to Kimmie letting him do as he pleased with her. Plus, the idea of being even a little undressed in front of a camera excited her too.
Her nervous energy caused her to arrive at the studio ten minutes early, and the place looked deserted. With no receptionist and the lights dimmed, Kimmie wondered for a second if she got the date wrong. But then a man came out through a door to the reception area holding an expensive-looking camera. "Hi. You must be Kimmie," he said. "I'm Dale. Welcome to my studio."
Kimmie suddenly was more nervous and she mumbled a hello and heard Dale explain that the place was empty because the staff went home at 5:30. He also said something about going ahead with just him there only if she was comfortable. When she didn't respond, Dale matter-of-factly asked "Kimmie, are you sure you're okay with just the two of us here? I can re-schedule for another evening and ask someone else to stay."
Kimmie figured she had just enough courage to do this once, and she really wanted to get some photos for her boyfriend... and for herself. She also knew that the studio had been around a long time, so Dale couldn't be some weirdo. So Kimmie said, "I'm sure. Kelly told me you are a professional and that I was in good hands. So, what happens now?"
"Gee, I guess I need to give Kelly a raise," Dale smiled. He went behind the reception desk, pulled out an iPad, and handed it to Kimmie. "Here, look through these photos in the 'USA' file, Dale said, touching a file icon. "The photos get a little more private as you go through the file. It will give you some ideas about boudoir scenes or poses that you are comfortable with. I'll set up and be back in five or ten minutes."
"Thank you," Kimmie said. "What's in the other file?" Kimmie asked, noticing a file named "ABC."
Dale paused for a second. "Those aren't boudoir photos," he explained. "They are a little more... revealing, more intimate. That's not what I understand you are looking for."
"Okay," Kimmie responded. She was very much aware, though, of how her body reacted to the words "revealing" and "more intimate."
Kimmie browsed through the boudoir album file and, as Dale said, the photos got racier as they went along. The first photos featured suggestive looks and poses, and they progressed to buttons and snaps undone, and then to implied nudity. The last several boudoir photos showed women who obviously were topless or even naked, but showed only cleavage or "side boob," and a few showed the curves of the model's rear. They were very well done and very sexy. Kimmie started to think she might be willing to be more risqué that she first thought.
After looking at the last boudoir photo, Kimmie's sexual curiosity took over and she clicked on the "ABC" file, which opened to two subfiles labeled "Nudes" and "Core." Kimmie opened the "Nudes" file and saw that the photos were more like the ones Kimmie fantasized about. She swiped through sexy topless photos, then full frontal photos, sensing how the photos were also getting more erotic as they went. About 20 photos into the file, Kimmie gasped as the photos transitioned to models with spread legs or bent knees, exposing their vaginas. Those pictures mostly featured three sexy models, a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead. Kimmie's hands now trembled as she browsed through the photos.
In the photos, the women were touching themselves, first their breasts, then their pussies. The last few photos could only be described as soft-core porn. Women squeezing or pinching their own breasts or spreading themselves open for the camera, with their fingers clearly on or maybe even a little inside their pussies. Kimmie was getting aroused and she felt the familiar urge to touch herself as she fantasized about showing off her body like that. She wondered what might be in the other file.
But Kimmie was shaken from her daydream by the sound of Dale returning, and she quickly went back to the boudoir photos. She was very aware, though, that her hesitancy was gone. She wondered if it was just her relaxing from Dale's reassurances, or if it was the energy she felt thinking about exposing herself like the women in the photos and the recurring idea of men wanting to touch her and more.
"So, does anything interest you?" Dale asked as he came into the reception area.
"Sure, they are all great, but I especially liked them starting about here," Kimmie responded, moving to a photo that showed the model's bare shoulders and one bare leg. Dale took note that Kimmie was almost in the middle of the boudoir section and that she had passed over the tamer sections.
"That's helpful. Tell me what you like about that photo."
Kimmie was startled by the question and she took a moment to consider it. "I like the idea... I guess... that any guy... er, anyone, seeing the picture probably feels like he wants to touch her. The picture makes her very pretty and very... vulnerable. At least that's what it feels like to me," Kimmie finished, and she blushed a little because of how forthcoming she had been.
"Wow. Very nice, and very helpful... Thank you Kimmie," Dale said supportively. "So, are you ready?" Kimmie nodded yes and stood up to follow Dale into the studio. When she did, she was mortified that she could feel dampness between her legs. She wondered if Dale might somehow be able to see that her panties were wet.
Kimmie had worn a gathered top that could be worn off the shoulders, but that she wore up at school, a short jean skirt, and her favorite Espadrille platform wedge sandals. The jean skirt was a tad too short for school, so Kimmie changed into it after cheerleading practice before driving to the studio. She had always liked the way her legs looked in that skirt with wedges or platform sandals. The receptionist Kelly had suggested to Kimmie that she might want to go without a bra, to avoid any strap marks, but Kimmie was too self-conscious to do that.
"Start over there," Dale said, nodding toward a well-lit area with multiple backdrops framed by lots of mirrors. I'll just take a few to test the lighting," and Kimmie realized Dale had started taking some pictures. "Looks pretty good," Dale added as he adjusted two lights just a little bit. "OK, smile for your boyfriend," Dale teased and began clicking away again.
Kimmie loved the encouragement from the photographer that he lavished to get her comfortable. She did relax some and listened to Dale's directions telling her to smile, "look sexy," and even "pout a little." After about 20 photos, Dale browsed through the photos on his camera and announced that Kimmie was "a supermodel." As goofy as that was, Kimmie loved the thought
"So, for the reveal, how about you pull your top down off one shoulder?" Dale asked. Kimmie was more than ready to show a little skin, but she loved hearing Dale tell her what to do. She casually pulled the top down off her left shoulder. But, looking in a nearby mirror, she saw that her exposed bra strap wasn't a sexy look, making Kimmie blush a little. She looked at Dale who said, "Well, we have options. "We can slide the strap down and hope it doesn't show. Or you can remove the bra for these shots. Or... well... I guess those are the two best options for now."
