Disclaimer: The following story contains naughty scenes and rude words. It's fairly tame, and I'm pretty broad-minded, but the decency laws in most states would require it not be read by persons under 18. Also, if you're offended by adult themes, you should probably leave now. More importantly, this tale features women presented as sexual objects. There is nothing wrong with this as they are only fictional characters. I urge readers, especially young males, to not regard real women in this way.

There is no Nicola. All characters are fictitious. The situations are made-up. This is only a fantasy, so any similarity to real persons and events is pure coincidence.

Nicola peered nervously into the studio. The beautiful Australian starlet had only been in LA a week, and this was to be her first screen test. In one corner of the studio several powerful lights and a camera were crowded around a small set of a living room. Crew members bustled around her.
"Erm, excuse me, I'm here to screen test for a commercial?" A man seated by the camera raised his hand and waved her over, but otherwise didn't look up from the papers he was furiously scribbling on. Nicola nervously approached, her heels clicking across the studio floor. "Hi, my name is Nic-"
"OK, OK we don't have time, must press on. Get her into make- up! Get her into wardrobe!" he gibbered, still not looking at her.
"I've just come from make-up. And I brought my own wardrobe. See?" The man finally looked at up Nicola. She had managed to borrow a designer outfit for her screen test, a low-cut little black dress that showed off her cleavage. The skirt didn't completely cover her thighs, revealing her tanned, bare legs. Nicola's agent had advised her it would be a good idea to show a little skin for the screen test. The man eyed up her exposed body and burst into a grin.
"Aren't you a pretty one! And Australian, too. Well, sweetie, we won't keep you too long. I'm the director, Mr. Callahan. Why don't you go and arrange yourself on that couch over there."
Nicola walked onto the set and laid down on the couch. Her dress, not designed for lying down in, rode up revealing even more of her.
The director bawled instructions to the crew, most of them incomprehensible to Nicola. As quickly as the scramble started it stopped, as everyone concentrated on their task. Mr. Callahan called to her. "OK, honey, I want you to tell us your name and her measurements."
Nicola put on her sweetest smile and looked into the camera. "My name is Nicola, and I'm originally from Melbourne Australia. I'm 20 years old, 5 foot 9, and my measurements are 38-25-35."
"Someone give her the product and a script." A sheet of paper was thrust into one hand and a small bottle into the other. The 'script' was just two words: "Harvé. Wicked." The small glass bottle was full of red liquid and labelled 'Harvé.' Nicola wondered what it was. A liqueur? A perfume?
"OK, Nicola," the director called out to her, "When I call 'action', I want you to say your line as sexy as possible. Really sell it to me."
Nicola nodded. She took a breath and prepared herself for stardom.
"Action!"
Nicola leant forward on the couch, and in a silky voice murmured, "Har-"
