My wife, Denise, and I were proud of our daughter April. As a senior, she finished third in the region as her school's number one singles tennis player. She is fluent in French and German. She graduated second in her class and aced her college boards. Those credentials got her into a very prestigious, albeit very expensive, university about 300 miles away.
April was also a very beautiful girl. She had her mother's dark brown hair and sparkling blue eyes. April had a great smile and an athletic body. Her breasts and tight ass were in perfect proportion. If you were to find some fault, I suppose that you would have said that April's legs were a bit too big and muscular. They looked fantastic to me.
Despite being very beautiful and smart, April had been a fairly quiet girl in high school. She had, of course, dated some; but nothing that seemed serious. Thankfully, she stayed away from trouble: no drugs or excessive alcohol. We had pretty much always known where she was while she lived at home. April had always been very open with us. We never thought that she hid anything from us.
April was also very appreciative of the financial burden we undertook to send her to college. Denise and I tried to give April everything she needed and would want to fit in. However, April almost never asked for money or for us to buy something for her. Despite carrying a heavy course load, April had gotten a job working many hours per week in a dining hall during her freshman year to generate her spending money.
The summer after her freshman year, April got a job helping the tennis pro at a local club. She didn't ask us for a dime all summer and didn't ask for any money, above her large tuition and room and board, before she returned to school. During the summer, April had told us about her dining hall job in detail. It didn't sound very attractive to me. Shortly before April went back to school, I asked her if she intended to work again this year.
"Of course, Dad," April relied. "I need some spending money and, given what you're already spending on me, I can't ask you or Mom for it."
"Do you have something lined up?" I asked.
"No," she said, "but I'm sure that I can get on at the dining hall again."
"I wish that you could find something better," I said. "The way you describe it, the dining hall sounds like a crappy job and it takes up a lot of your time."
"Dad, there aren't that many part-time jobs out there," April responded.
"Please try to find something else," I said.
"Ok," April said. I thought that was just to get me off of the topic and that she'd go back to the dining hall.
While she was at school, we talked to April by phone about once a week. A couple of weeks into the new semester, I had asked April whether she had found a job.
"Maybe," she said. "I'll know in a week or two."
"What is it?" I asked.
"Dad, it may not come through and, if it does, I'm not sure that I want to take it," April said. "I'll let you know if it works out."
"Just stay away from the dining hall," I said.
A couple of weeks later occurred an evening I'll never forget. After dinner, Denise was watching TV in the living room and I was in the room which I used as a study reading a book. My computer made the sound to tell me that I had an e-mail. E-mail coming to our home e-mail address was rarely urgent, so it was a few minutes before I got out of my easy chair to check it.
When I did look at the computer, I saw that it was an e-mail from April with an attachment. I called out to Denise, "Honey, we got an e-mail from April. Do you want to come in here while I open it?"
"Sure," Denise called back. "Just give me a minute."
A couple of minutes later, Denise came into the room. "Ok, what have we got?"
I sat down at my desk and opened April's e-mail with Denise looking over my shoulder. There were two JPG files attached.
"Mom & Dad," April's e-mail read, "attached are a couple pictures of my first day on my part-time job for this semester. It isn't the dining hall."
I opened the first attachment and froze. Behind me, I heard Denise suck in a deep breath. After a moment, Denise said, "I'll be damned" and started laughing.
The picture showed April standing on some sort of platform. She was facing the camera. In the foreground, you could see the backs of the heads of a few people sitting at easels. However, what you noticed first was that April was stark naked.
"What the fuck!" I said.
"Honey," Denise said, "it appears that our daughter has a job as a nude model."
I was a little pissed off that Denise was being so calm about it. "Did you know about this?" I demanded.
"No," Denise said. "I didn't think she'd have the courage to try that."
"'Courage'?" I shouted. "It's fucking obscene."
"Well, no, that picture isn't obscene at all," Denise said. "It is just April standing in front of people with no clothes on. Open the other file."
The other picture was apparently taken from the same spot. However, April had turned her back to the artists. I had been too shocked to notice in the first picture, but April's tan lines were very visible framing her ass in the second picture.
"I'd say that isn't obscene either," Denise commented.
I was still pissed off. I quickly typed a reply to April's e-mail: "What in God's name are you doing?"
April's reply came back very quickly. I guess that she had been waiting for our reaction. "Only five hours/week and pays more than dining hall."
I quickly replied, "WE NEED TO TALK!"
"Honey," Denise said, "calm down. April's an adult now. You said that you didn't want her working in the dining hall and she isn't."
"But, I didn't tell her to start taking her clothes off in front of strangers," I replied.
"It's not like she making porn dear," Denise replied. "She's posing for an art class. Apparently, this will take a lot less time away from her studies. I think that you should admire her courage. I'm not sure that I could do that." Denise paused, and then added, "And, she looks very beautiful naked."
I turned back to the computer and opened the first attachment again. April did look extraordinarily beautiful naked. She also looked at ease standing naked in front of other people.
A couple of minutes later, Denise's cell phone rang. Denise answered. She listened for a minute or two, and then said into the phone, "No, I'm not angry at you. I'm just surprised. Why did you choose to be a nude model?" That told me that it was April calling her mother.
Denise listened for several more minutes before saying, "Really? That's interesting. Now that you've explained it, I'm proud of you." Denise paused and then said, "Your father will get over it. You take care. Love you." Denise clicked off her phone.
Looking at me, Denise said, "As I'm sure you figured out, that was our daughter. She saw the job posted on a message board at school. What caught her attention was that it paid about fifteen dollars an hour more than the dining hall and only takes five hours a week. She's making $150 a week with a lot more time to be a student. She's been modeling for about a month now."
"But why nude?" I asked.
"She said that she took that as a challenge," Denise replied. "She said that part of college should be getting out of her comfort zone and overcoming her fears. According to April, this was a way of doing that without risking physical injury or incurring expense."
"Don't tell me that she's enjoying it," I said.
"She is," Denise replied. "She says that, once she got over her nervousness, being naked in front of people is empowering and liberating, and she enjoys being the center of attention, even if the artists are looking at her as an object to draw rather than as a person." Denise paused again. "April didn't say it, but I'll bet that she also gets a bit turned on from it."
"Turned on?" I said. I was unable to process the concept of my daughter sexually turned on.
"Wouldn't you get turned on by a bunch of people looking at your naked body?" Denise asked.
