I arranged a booking for a Thursday four weeks ahead. I asked for the full package, on a half day studio session which got us two photographers, three hours of studio time, exclusive use of the site, hair, makeup and costume for that time, a selection of toys and props and professional enhancement of up to twenty images. We also got to keep all the un-enhanced images. They also provided non-alcoholic drinks throughout the booking.
A week before the appointment I had another call from Charlotte from the studio remining me I hadn't sent in our blood test results or choices of additional models, the blood tests I'd arranged through work and were scheduled for the Wednesday so we could take them down with us.
Charlotte from the studio was happy enough with that but pushed me on the additional models.
"I'm sorry, what do you mean by additional models?" I asked. I was in the car again, as I had been when I made the booking and was negotiating a difficult junction so found talking a distraction.
What she said next had me looking for a layby to pull over and concentrate.
"You booked the full session luxury package, that comes with two additional models to enhance your erotic enjoyment and help provide a portfolio of memories to keep with you forever."
I know she was reading from a script, but I doubt if her script prepared her for the shriek I gave as her bombshells landed.
I cut across two lanes of traffic, angry car horns blasting behind me as I screeched into a layby packed with delivery vans, sales reps in Ford Mondeos and an Army Land Rover. I picked up my iPhone and switched off the Bluetooth connection to my car, I didn't want this conversation on loudspeaker. On second thoughts, and with memories of the changing rooms at Secret Rendezvous giving me a naughty tingle inside I reactivated it, undoing a couple of buttons as I waited for the connection to liven up again. I was slightly disappointed I was wearing a neutral-coloured practical bra, not a Sex Goddess special, but I could still feel a thrill as I pulled my blouse open to reveal the top of my boobs.
"Can you go over that again please" I asked.
Charlotte from the studio read out her script, confirming that we had opted to include two models, typically one male one female but we could have two males, if we wanted two females there would be an additional two hundred and ninety pounds to pay. She had emailed me a link to the models' page on their website, did I receive it?
I had, as part of the whole package of documents I'd received but as I'd paid, and as it was booked, we hadn't looked beyond the confirmation of booking dates. I know, and I work in IT. I should know better.
"Can you resend the link? I need to talk to my husband about this."
I heard Charlotte from the studio typing away and almost immediately my phone pinged as the email arrived. I pulled my laptop out from my rucksack on the seat next to me and fired up the 4G browser, the email was there as well. I clicked on the link and had a quick scoot through the first couple of pages of models.
The two squaddies from the Land Rover had noticed my boobs through the windscreen and were sidling closer. I upped the stakes for them.
"So, Charlotte, I was expecting a photo shoot for me and my husband where we could pose in a number of sexual encounters, am I right?"
She confirmed that was the general idea.
Soldier 1 & soldier 2 had heard the exchange and were moving slowly closer. My car's a Japanese two-seater and quite low down so with the roof up they couldn't see what I looked like, all they could see was my chest, which seemed to be keeping them entertained so far.
"So, looking at these models am I right in assuming that the notes say what they will do for us?"
I got another confirmation.
"So, for example, Dominique here says, F-F, M-F, M-F-F, M-M-F. That means she'll take part in sex with me, or my husband or both of us at once, or two men together?" I was speaking loudly enough that the soldiers could pick up what was going on but still turned up the volume via the steering wheel so the guys outside could hear more clearly.
Charlotte from the studio confirmed that was all correct and I got a warm tingle in my pussy as the two uniforms edged closer.
"Good, that's what we were after. I've never tried it with a girl, and this is going to be my opportunity. I'll speak to my husband and call you back tomorrow." I disconnected the phone and reached up to unsnap the roof clips then pressed the button to make it roll back into its recess.
Two open mouthed soldiers were staring in through the space where my roof used to be. Soldiers is generous, boys in uniform really, they couldn't have been much more than nineteen and seemed to have lost the power of speech.
"Morning boys" I called out with a sultry smile and a heave of my boobs. I started the car and pulled back out into the flowing traffic.
That evening I sat Jonny down with a large gin and told him what we'd booked. He appeared as shocked as I had been.
We had a brief discussion that went along the lines of ""Did you know about this?" "No, I don't think we ... do we?" "Well, it's seven hundred and fifty quid and we can't get it back."
I fired up the browser on the 85-inch monster TV and we flicked through model selection folders, noting what each would do which ranged from topless or implied nudity all the way to multi partner sex, commenting occasionally.
I paused to give him a rundown of my teasing the squaddies that morning, which he told me was cruel, but I'd probably made their week. I then told him about my exploits in the Secret Rendezvous changing room a few weeks earlier and he nearly got too distracted to continue. I promised we could go shopping together sometime soon and got his mind back on the subject of the moment.
We went back to the screen and decided that as we'd paid, we may as well get a couple in, worst case they could make the tea or pose in the background.
