I knew a lot of cute girls in college, and Sheryl was one of the top ten. Although short, she had the face of a model and a body good enough to represent her sorority in the annual campus bikini contest (she was third runner-up). She was smart and fun to be around, and I'm sure I wasn't the only guy who was frustrated by the fact that she as a "good" girl who was also smoking hot.
Grateful for her help in a calculus class during an earlier semester, I promised her all the help I could give her if she ever needed it to pass one of her courses. The current semester was almost over when Sheryl surprised me with a phone call.
She reminded me of my offer to help with her classes and I agreed to visit her on Sunday morning. She hung up before I remembered to ask her what course she was taking, and I wasn't able to get in touch with her before the weekend. I assumed she knew what I was majoring in and wanted help in that subject, so I collected some books I thought I might need and drove over to her apartment, arriving promptly at eleven AM. Sheryl had mentioned that her roommate was away for the weekend and I hoped that I could take advantage of the privacy.
"How nice to see you, Mark," Sheryl said politely as she let me in.
She was well dressed, having evidently just come home from church. The dress didn't conceal her dynamite figure, however, and I felt my cock surge. My heart fluttered and my cock stiffened in anticipation when Sheryl announced that she wanted to change into something "more comfortable." She returned wearing jeans and a thigh-length smock, however, leaving me somewhat disappointed.
"I left my books out in the car," I told her. "Tell me what class you're taking and I'll get whatever I need."
"You won't need any of them," Sheryl replied. "I'm taking an art class and I need you to pose for me."
"Okay," I said. "That sounds easy enough."
Sheryl was silent for a moment and I could tell something was bothering her.
"I need a nude model," she added softly.
"Huh?"
"Will you still do it?"
I hesitated, unsure of what to make of this new development. I figured I could go through with it but Sheryl was obviously embarrassed by the idea. Deciding to prolong her apprehension, I chose to act as if I was reluctant so she would have to persuade me to take off my clothes.
"Doesn't your art department have a model you could use?"
"There are only two of them," Sheryl said, "and they aren't available this weekend."
"What about later?" I asked.
"I've been putting this off as long as I could," Sheryl explained. "And it's due tomorrow. You're my last chance to get an A."
"You really shouldn't have waited," I lectured. "Besides, I'm not really model material..."
"Yes, you are," she insisted. "You have a nice body. You play sports, and you're in great shape. You'll make a perfect model."
"I appreciate the flattery, but I don't know if I can go through with this."
"Oh, please, Mark," Sheryl begged. "You've got to help me."
"I'm not sure I want a nude painting of me to be seen all over campus."
"But I only have to show it to the professor and her grad assistant."
"You're sure?"
"Yes. We don't display nudes anywhere around the department."
"What about other art students? What if they see it? What if they know me?"
"I'm not going to show it around. Besides, they're all used to nudes. It won't matter if they see it."
She was on the verge of crying, but I decided to push her just a little bit further.
"This isn't what I expected," I said. "I thought you needed help for a test or a term paper."
A tear rolled down Sheryl's cheek just then. She had a four-point G.P.A. and I was sure she saw it slipping away.
"Okay, okay. I'll do it," I said. "But you owe me one."
"Oh, thank you, Mark," Sheryl said as she hugged me. "I'll fix dinner for you when we're through."
That's a good start
, I thought to myself.
Who knows what might happen after that?
Once Sheryl calmed down, I helped her turn the apartment into an art studio. I moved some furniture around and spread a sheet over the dining table while Sheryl got her paints and set up her easel. When everything was ready, I waited and made her announce the next step.
"How about if you take your clothes off in the bathroom?" she finally said, still obviously embarrassed by what she had asked me to do. "I'll start mixing some paint and you can come out when you're ready."
I tried to fake a look of apprehension, before asking, "Have you ever done a nude before?"
"We've had to do them in class every semester," Sheryl replied. "And I had to paint a mid-term project for this class."
"So then you're more used to this than I am," I said as I started down the hall. "I'll try to act natural."
Sheryl didn't say anything before I shut the bathroom door behind me. I stripped out of my clothes quickly, took a piss, and then used the mirror to make myself as presentable as possible. I decided to wait until Sheryl called for me so I would be sure of having her pay attention to my entrance. I only had to wait about two minutes, giving me just enough time to fondle my cock until it was semi-erect.
"Come on out, Mark," Sheryl called. "The sooner we get this over with, the better."
I flushed the toilet to make her think that was why I hadn't come out yet, then opened the door and peeked out.
"Ready or not," I hollered, "here I come."
I walked toward Sheryl, not making eye contact so she could look at my body. I stopped well short of where she was standing so she could see all of me in one glance, and I was pleased when her gaze lingered on my full cock. I detected a look of lust on her face, but she was doing her best to remain outwardly calm. I gave her a few seconds to look at me some more and compose herself.
"Since I'm new at this," I said, "why don't you show me some of your other work? So I can get an idea of how to pose?"
"Okay," she agreed. "But let's make this quick, okay? I want to get on with this."
Sheryl handed me a large binder and stood beside me while I flipped through the pages. I skipped over the still-life and abstract sections and then took my time going through the nudes. I looked at a lot of pencil and charcoal sketches of nude bodies and parts of bodies before I got to the colored pencil and painted stuff. Sheryl's work was quite good and almost lifelike, especially the fully nude woman at the back of the binder. I looked at it for several long seconds before I realized that I was looking at a painting of Sheryl's absent roommate.
Janet and I already knew each other, having met when we were freshmen. She was a pretty blonde with a great body. In fact, since a pool party one spring break, Janet's body was something of a legend. When a geeky guy saw her in her bikini at the party he had commented, quite loudly, "God, what a bod!" Frequently after that someone would say the same thing whenever Janet entered a room, and I think she loved the attention. And now, thanks to Sheryl's portfolio, I had seen her naked -- sort of.
"Hey!" Sheryl said when she realized what I was looking at. "You don't need to see that one."
"Don't worry," I replied, handing the binder back to her. "I won't tell Janet that you showed it to me. So, how should I pose?"
I climbed onto the dining table and Sheryl gave me directions, but I proved (quite deliberately) to be a difficult subject. My balkiness had the effect I wanted as Sheryl had to come over and use her hands to put me in the desired pose. I was on my hands and knees, with my head down and my right side toward the easel. She positioned my right leg forward just enough to conceal my cock from her point of view.
"You have good arm muscles," she commented. "They show nicely like that."
"This hurts my knees," I complained, even though I felt fine. My only real problem with the pose was that I didn't think it was revealing enough. I wanted to be completely exposed to Sheryl so she would become more comfortable with nudity; and, after that, with the idea of having sex with me. "And I'm going to get dizzy with my head down like this."
"What do you suggest?"
"I definitely need to sit up," I replied. "And there's a baseball game I can watch if I face the TV."
"Oh, all right," she said. "I guess that'll be okay, as long as you leave the sound all the way down."
I hopped off the table and strutted across the room in front of her to reach the TV. I gave her a good view of my bare backside as I bent over to set the channel and volume, and then I made sure she got another good look when I went back to the table.
"Maybe thinking about the game will keep me from getting an erection," I said as I got back on the table.
"Yeah, well..." Sheryl blushed. "Don't worry... I've seen plenty of them."
"Oh, yeah?"
"Of course I've seen them. Our male models get erections almost every time. We try to be professional about it, but I think I'd worry about you if you didn't get hard."
"Okay... then I guess you really are used to this..."
"Actually I hope I never get used to seeing naked men," she replied. "That just wouldn't be right."
Finally, with me facing her in a pose that showed all, Sheryl began her painting. She made a quick sketch of my outline and then started to apply paint. I paid very little attention to the baseball game (Yankees vs. Orioles), preferring instead to think about sex with Sheryl. Try as I might, I just couldn't work up an erection. Her clothes were so shapeless and unflattering that I just couldn't picture her wearing (or not wearing) anything else. I had been in the front row at the bikini contest, but I couldn't conjure up a mental image of what Sheryl had looked like.
After an hour or so she took a break to use the bathroom and I hopped off the table to examine the painting. Sheryl had finished enough of my face for me to see that I was clearly recognizable, and for a moment I really did worry about my naked likeness being seen all over campus. I knew that wasn't likely to happen, but I did think it was possible that someone who knew me would eventually see the painting. If it was a girl I could only hope she liked what she saw, and if it was one of my male friends I'd just let him think whatever he wanted about me and Sheryl.
When Sheryl returned and resumed painting she was more talkative than she had been. She told me she wanted to be a commercial artist, and since she needed to be as versatile as possible she was going to keep my painting for her portfolio in case a prospective employer wanted to see an example of her work with nudes.
