Spencer Tabard

"Spencer Tabard is going to be in town in August!" Brandi said as she skipped into the apartment.

"Who?" Myles asked with barely a glance from the TV and the video game he was engrossed in.

"Who?" Brandi exclaimed, "Seriously?"

Myles chanced a glance at petite platinum blond girlfriend and then focused on the game while twisting his body to one side and squeezing the controller in a death grip, "No, seriously, who's this cloak dude anyway!"

"Cloak!" Brandi spluttered while glaring at Myles, "His name is Spencer Tabard!

"He's a really famous photographer who had all the naked people standing in front of the Sydney Opera House and the pictures of the naked people all painted in shades of blue lying next to each other!"

The mention of naked people caught Myles attention long enough to glance back up at Brandi just as his screen turned a marron red with simulated blood dripping down before fading to black

"God damnit!" Myles shouted and glared at the screen for a moment before sighing and sitting the controller down, "Ok, naked people, you've got my attention so what the heck are you talking about?"

"Come on!" Brandi exclaimed, "I can't believe you've never heard of him!

"He somehow gets permission from these famous places all around the world to get hundreds of naked people together so he can take pictures of them!

"I mean, he's famous!"

"Never heard of him," Myles replied with a swipe at his light brown hair before picking up the controller again.

"Here!" Brandi spat and dug through her purse to pull out a phone before storming over.

Myles waited and watched while Brandi quickly brought up a page of web search results and then thrust the phone towards Myles. Myles glanced down at the phone and then did a doubletake at the images Brandi had pulled up.

"Are those..." Myles asked while staring at the Sydney Opera House surrounded by a sea of nude people so large that you couldn't pick out individual bodies from the flesh toned mass.

"Yes!" Brandi exclaimed excitedly, "And I love this picture!"

Myles watched as Brandi zoomed into an image of a desert or dry lakebed, the sun low on the horizon with what looked like a hundred people with only gauzy white veils covering them from head to toe with the sunlight shining through the translucent material. Myles glanced at another image of the angular steel girders of some bridge but with two rows of naked people laying on the deck shoulder to shoulder, the feet of the people in the top row even with the shoulders of the people along the bottom.

"Wow," Myles said and swiped down to see even more images.

One image in particular caught his eye of dozens of nude women with each of them holding what Myles at first thought were huge glowing balls over their heads but instead were circular mirrors. The image was beautiful with so many different skin tones, shapes, and sizes of women with the mirrors giving the illusion of each one of them holding a piece of the sky above them.

"Is she pregnant?" Myles asked in surprise as he pointed to one woman with a prominent belly and very dark areolas.

"Maybe," Brandi said with barely a glance, "Probably.

"Spencer loves to take pictures of everyone no matter what they look like but aren't they all just amazing!"

Myles glanced from all the pictures on Brandi's phone up to her in confusion.

"Uhhh, yea, I guess so," Myles replied.

Brandi gave him a disgusted look before snatching her phone back.

"Spencer Tabard is going to be here in October!" Brandi said again excitedly.

"Ok," Myles said after it became obvious that Brandi was waiting for him to respond.

Brandi glared up at the ceiling in exasperation before finally looking at Myles again.

"I want to go!" Brandi said as she bounced from foot to foot.

"Uhhh, ok," Myles finally said when it became obvious that Brandi was again waiting for him to say something more.

"Myles!" Brandi almost yelled, "I want us to be IN his pictures!"

Myles only stared at Brandi for several moments before his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

"Wait, you mean... like... IN in those pictures?" Myles said in shock, "Like, NAKED in those pictures?

"Like... outside with... you know... other PEOPLE and shit... and NAKED?"

Brandi laughed in delight as much at Myles finally understanding as from his shocked and scared expression.

"Oh, my god, YES!" Brandi shouted while bouncing from foot to foot.

....

"I hate you," Myles said under his breath as they walked out of the parking garage and onto the crowded and bustling downtown sidewalk.

Brandi couldn't help but giggle. She hated giggling, but her excitement, nervous energy, and her own fear caused it to bubble up out of her.

"You wanted to volunteer too!" Brandi said a bit breathlessly and reached out to take Myles hand.

"Details, details," Myles said and gave Brandi's hand a reassuring squeeze.

Myles had to admit, at least to himself that he had been more than a little excited when he realized Brandi had been serious about volunteering to be one of the models in Spencer's upcoming shoot. It had still seemed only a hypothetical game when they had been accepted and had received a thick envelope of papers, a game that tended to lead to a very amazing nights spent playing together. The envelope had everything from disclaimers, permission forms to use any imagery of them that was taken, guidelines to leave valuables behind and only come to the shoot wearing clothes that you could easily shed as well as a list of 'rules' for them to follow. Myles was still scratching his head about no one being allowed to wear any visible body piercings or jewelry.

Who'd notice if Brandi didn't want to take out the little barbell in her hood that he loved to toy with and spread his semen over after they had made love and were relaxing together afterwards.

Myles shook his head and glanced down the street at the first glimpse of the new bridge across the Willamette that had been built a few years ago, the brilliant white starburst of cables from the 'cable stayed' design shinning in the early afternoon sun.

"Oh, my god, there's already so many!" Brandi said as she caught sight of the bridge with the pedestrian and bike walkways crowded with people.

Myles nodded and had to consciously keep his pace up as they walked the last few blocks, each step seeming to take just a little longer, require just a little more effort the closer they came.

The Tilikum Crossing really was a beautiful bridge with a pair of concrete towers close to each bank of the river with white cables splayed out in a starburst from the top of each tower down to the deck. Vehicles weren't allowed on the bridge at all, only the MAX trains which meant that the few times he had crossed it in the past it had been rather peaceful without cars rushing by only a few feet away.

Myles steps slowed as he glanced up and down river more as a way to distract himself from the large crowd of people on the bridge than anything else. He could see the tops of the amusement park rides poking above the trees just up river as well and a confused mass of boats darting around like so many colorful ducklings. Down river he could see the high pillars and stacked road decks of the I5 bridge as well as an even larger crowd of people at Waterfront Park.

"Come on slow poke!" Brandi said with her infectious smile and tugged at Myles hand.

"Ok, fine," Myles replied and let Brandi pull him along.

Myles felt almost sick to his stomach while they walked, the closer they came to the bridge the more unsure he was if he would be able to go through with stripping bare. He didn't think of himself as a prude and certainly not sexually repressed, but he also had a huge issue with body modesty. And he knew it.

Brandi had even dragged him repeatedly to both of the nude beaches that were close to town to try to get him ready for the shoot. Every single time Myles had enjoyed the sun and the cool water of the Columbia, had absolutely loved seeing beautiful Brandi in nothing but her skin under the clear blue sky, and had even surreptitiously enjoyed seeing other women and even the men walking by nude as well. But what he hadn't been able to do, not even for a few minutes like Brandi had suggested more than once, was to take off his swim trunks to be naked himself.

"Brandi..." Myles said as they reached the first of the crowd clustered around the Life Sciences building that always reminded him of the bridge of a star destroyer that was missing the golf ball things from Star Wars, "I don't know if I can do this..."

"Oh, please!" Brandi begged while tugging on both of Myles hands, "Can you please do it for me!"

"Brandi!" Myles shot back.

Brandi stopped and turned to face Myles while taking both of his hands in hers.

"It's up to you," Brandi said sincerely while looking into Myles eyes, "If you don't want to then we can go home, but I know how brave you are.

"I know you can do this with me."

Myles stared down into Brandi's eyes and felt how much he loved her surge through him. So what if he had a problem with being naked, it wasn't just about himself and if Brandi was willing to go home, willing to not get photographed by someone she had been talking about nonstop for months...

Myles took a deep breath while glancing over Brandi's shoulders at where two women were checking names and ID's before letting people onto the bridge. After several moments he only nodded.

"Yes!" Brandi squealed while giving Myles hands a squeeze that was almost painful and a quick kiss on the lips that sent his heart racing even faster than it already was.

Brandi instantly turned and began pulling Myles towards the women, his heart beating so hard he could hear the rush of blood in his ears. Every time Myles found himself hesitating, every time he wanted to pull his hand out of Brandi's and turn around he thought of her beautiful eyes and how she had been willing to go home instead of what she had been dreaming of. Myles wasn't even aware of Brandi showing the women the acceptance letter and their ID's, was in a haze of trepidation as they walked out onto the bridge and fear as he saw men and women almost casually discarding their clothes and placing them in paper sacks after scribbling their names on the outside.

"Ready?" Brandi asked a few moments later.

Myles realized that Brandi had already picked up one of the brown grocery bags and scribbled their names across the front of it and glanced from Brandi's smiling face to what had to be a dozen people already naked and making their way out farther onto the bridge.

"Myles?" Brandi asked again gently.

"I don't know..." Myles said breathlessly.

"I'll go first," Brandi replied and slipped the loose fitting yellow tank top over her head.

Myles licked his lips while staring at Brandi's perky B cup breasts, her nipples that reminded Myles of round marbles already swollen and hard at the center of her dark reddish brown areolas. Brandi smiled and then kicked off her flip flops before slipping her athletic shorts down over her hips to pool around her feet before reaching down to pick her shoes and shorts up to add to the paper sack.

"Myles..." Brandi asked softly.

Myles glanced from Brandi's small, firm breasts to the swell of her mound with the crease of her sex visible without a single hair or even tan line to mar her tanned skin and then finally up to meet her eyes. Myles bit his lip and glanced from Brandi to watch three other people quickly and just as casually taking their clothes off before finally looking back to Brandi.

Myles took a deep breath and gave a shaky nod before hastily pulling his t shirt over his head, his mind wandering to the silk screen of a white rabbit perched atop a pile of skulls and how Brandi recognizing that rabbit had been one of the things that had first drawn them together.

"It's just a rabbit..." Myles said under his breath while bending down to pull the Velcro straps of his Teva's open.

"Huh?" Brandi asked in confusion.

"Nothing," Myles said with a breathless laugh as he handed his Teva's and shirt to Brandi to add to the sack, "It's... my mind is running off in like a hundred different directions right now."

"Umm hmm," Brandi replied with a smile while her fingers played with the waistband of his cargo shorts, "I think you forgot something while chasing down all those other thoughts."

Myles could feel his face turning a bright red, could feel the rough, hot, concrete beneath his bare feet and stared into Brandi's smiling eyes while he reached down. It took two tries to unbutton his pants with trembling hands, another try to manage to unzip them, and then with a final glance around at yet more strangers getting naked in front of everyone as if it were the most natural thing in the world, pushed his cargo pants down until they fell around his feet.

Brandi's face lit up with an amazing smile while she rushed to grab Myles pants and stuff them in the sack before he could change his mind, her entire body seeming to bounce from foot to foot in her excitement as she put the bag close to the railing before taking his hand and pulling him along further out onto the bridge.

"I knew you could do it!" Brandi exclaimed with a beautiful smile as she led him along, Myles struggling not to use his free hand to cover himself as he felt his semi flaccid penis swaying from side to side between his legs.

Myles struggled to think about anything but his dick, the feeling of himself swelling, but with every glance his eyes found a young woman's shapely ass who's secret lips were visible between her thigh gap, an older woman who's D size breasts accentuated with dark brown areola swayed as she walked confidently along, a man who looked to be in his 40's with a chest covered in black hair and a flaccid penis that was larger than Myles's when Myles was fully erect, and even a pregnant woman who's belly button protruded from her swollen abdomen and plump, full breasts. Myles eyes were drawn to the pregnant woman's nipples and licked his lips at the sheen of moisture that covered the swell of her breasts from her breastmilk.

"Hey!" Brandi said while smacking Myles playfully on the arm, "What are you looking at!"

Myles spluttered in embarrassment before Brandi laughed in delight.

"Maybe I should let you knock me up," Brandi said under her breath with a grin, "With the way you were licking your lips I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have to ask for you to suck on my nips, and who knows, maybe my little mosquito bumps might get bigger!"

"Wait, what?" Myles asked in surprise since Brandi had never said a word about getting pregnant ever before.

"Put your tongue back in your mouth!" Brandi said with a laugh.

"Ok, everyone, listen up!" a man's voice shouted over a bullhorn from somewhere on the bridge.

Myles tried to spot whoever the speaker was, but his eyes kept being drawn to the naked bodies of so many different people.

"I want everyone to line up along the rail facing down town!" the voice called over the bullhorn, "Alternate between men and women with everyone holding hands and their arms held up as high as you can over your heads!"

"That's Spencer!" Brandi squealed in excitement, "I can see Spencer!"

Myles glanced toward where he could see a tall man with a scruffy beard who also happened to be the only person wearing clothes in sight. While he watched Spencer raised the bullhorn and began to bellow and chivy everyone into position, Myles and Brandi quickly finding themselves along the rail facing out towards the river. Myles tried to ignore the firm grip of the woman's hand on his left, tried to forget her long, black hair as well as the view of her C cup breasts and hard nipples, the angel wings tattooed just below her firm breasts or the smiling, lingering, appraising look she had given his semi flaccid penis.

"Nice tan lines," the woman beside him said with a smile.

"I know, right!" Brandi said with a laugh, "I've been trying to get him to go naked all summer but would he try?

"No! And now he looks like he's still wearing his swim trunks!"

"He still looks pretty decent if you don't mind me saying," the woman continued, "I'm Rebeca but everyone calls me Becky."

"I'm Brandi and this idiot is Myles," Brandi replied.

Myles glanced from Brandi to Becky as they started a conversation as if they had been friends for years, his arms stretched above his head and his eyes continually drawn to the shapely swell of Becky's breasts while they stood in that position.

"Ohh, I see a drone!" Brandi exclaimed.

As soon as Brandi mentioned a drone Myles recognized the high pitched whine of spinning propellers and after only another moment spotted the drone. It was definitely larger than any he had seen before with an expensive looking camera slung beneath four arms.

"I bet that's what Spencer is using to take pictures!" Brandi said in excitement, "I can't wait to see what we look like with the white cables over our heads."

"Oh, yea, that would look cool," Myles added as he glanced up over their heads pictured the starburst of white cables behind the line of people pressed up to the rail.

After a few minutes of holding hands above their heads Spencer began to bellow through the loudspeaker once more getting people arranged in groups of six while still holding hands but standing back to back in small circles. Myles was very aware of both Becky and Brandi's thighs pressed against his own and was horrified by the very natural reaction that sensation caused.

"Someone seems to be enjoying themselves," Becky said with a laugh.

"Do you know how long it's taken me to get him to strip naked and just enjoy himself?" Brandi said in exasperation, "And now when I finally manage it he goes and pops a boner!"

"Not to shabby though," Becky added while Myles felt his face burning in embarrassment.

Brandi glanced down at Myles waist, her eyes lingering for several long moments on his semi hard erection before smiling smugly at Becky, "I've never had anything to complain about."

"I'm standing right here!" Myles protested which made both women laugh.

Myles eyes widened in surprise as he felt both Brandi and Becky move slightly so that he could feel their warm skin moving against his.

"He's so cute when he turns red," Becky chortled while Myles had to fight down the urge to lower his hands to cover his growing erection.

The next three hours seemed to go by in the blink of an eye as Becky and Brandi chatted like old friends... old friends intent on sharing all the juicy little tidbits that girls like to share amongst themselves without a concern in the world that those tidbits tended to belong to Myles. Spencer continued to bellow over the bullhorn corralling everyone into different groupings and poses with several breaks for water. Myles was even astonished to find that after so long being naked he suddenly found himself enjoying the sensation of the sun on every part of his body and was even more astonished that he realized that he enjoyed all the subtle and not so subtle glances he noticed men and women giving him.

Myles suddenly realized that he wanted more than anything to go back to Collins and Roster Rock to spend as much time as he could with Brandi without either of them wearing so much as a hat.

"Alright everyone, we're all done and I want to thank you all!" Spencer finally bellowed which brought an enormous round of applause and cheering.

People quickly began to make their way to either side of the bridge with everyone smiling and chatting amongst each other.

"It was really nice to meet you," Brandi suddenly said as Becky began to follow them towards the Portland side of the Willamette.

"Yea, it was," Myles added with a smile having long since been disabused of his embarrassment by the two women.
