Note: This is the first part of a two part story.
It didn't take Zack long to recover after splitting from his wife. Within a couple of months he could be seen going around with a curvaceous Filipino-American girl named Natasha who was considerably younger than him.
His best friend Mike still hadn't met Natasha, and Zack had been just dying to show her off. Although, it wasn't like he hadn't had the chance to see what she looked like, given that she was very much into the whole Instagram thing, and had no qualms about posting extremely revealing photos.
Mike was looking forward to seeing her in the flesh, particularly since they were headed to Palm Springs, where the majority of their weekend would be spent around the pool in swimming attire. And from her Instagram account, he knew Natasha was very comfortable wearing tiny thong bikinis in public, let alone private places. The only issue was that Mike's wife Kat was coming along too, so he'd have to be covert about his ogling. Thankfully she was unaware of the Instagram account.
Zack and Natasha were the first to arrive at the rental house in Palm Springs. Having plenty of time to spare before the other couple would get in, they headed off to Joshua Tree National Park. It was a little out of the way, but it was very important for her Instagram account that she shoot some nudes against the famous J-Tree backdrop.
They parked at the Jumbo Rocks Campground, and followed a wash back into a beautiful rock outcrop that was well hidden from civilization. Natasha slipped into an extremely skimpy blue and orange thong bikini, which she thought would contrast nicely with the desert rocks.
This was Zack's single favorite thing about the relationship. She loved to pose, and it turned both of them on equally. Zack couldn't recount a single time where she hadn't "rewarded" him for being her photographer at the end of a session.
It was during these photoshoots that Zack had the most power over her. He could say anything he'd like her to do, and she'd do it. If this meant fingering her ass or sucking his dick, so be it.
For the Joshua Tree shoot this meant getting her to pleasure herself with a cactus-shaped dildo. With her back to the camera and her bright thong pulled to the side of her tan-brown ass, she was pumping the large dildo in and out of her ass at a steady pace when a ranger showed up out of nowhere.
Everyone looked like deer in the headlights, and no one moved except for Natasha who frantically pulled the dildo out of her asshole. No one knew what to say. The couple had been so well-hidden that Ranger Rick hadn't seen them until he was practically right in front of them.
It wasn't the first time Ranger Rick had witnessed a nude photo shoot in the park. Modeling shoots of all varieties had skyrocketed in the park during the Instagram era. Technically these shoots required permits, but few people ever bothered applying. Rick was not a law enforcement ranger, but it was part of his job to notify participants in photoshoots of their infractions, and radio law enforcement if necessary.
The other times Ranger Rick had been privy to modeling shoots he'd neglected this part of his job. Instead he'd either ignored or gazed upon them from afar. But this time he had no choice but to say something. "How's it going?" he asked.
Zack, a natural people person, was immediately apologetic. "Oh man, we're so sorry about this. We didn't mean to bother anyone. We thought we'd be safe out here away from the campground."
Under normal circumstances they would've been safe, but Ranger Rick, who worked collecting fees at the campground entrance, had wandered back in the rocks to find a safe place to get stoned on his break. "Well, technically you are supposed to get a permit."
"But this isn't a commercial shoot or anything. I mean, you saw what she was doing."
Right behind Zack, Rick could see Natasha bending over, her entire voluptuous ass exposed. She was digging for something in her backpack. Ranger Rick tried to remain focused on the conversation. "I know, but if you have all the screens, backing lights, and fancy equipment, you're supposed to get a permit."
Natasha, knowing she had Ranger Rick's attention, remained bent over much longer than she needed to. Finally finding the tanning oil she was looking for, she slowly stood up straight, making a show of it. Zack shrugged. "I'm sorry, we didn't know."
Rick tried to maintain eye-contact with Zack as Natasha sprayed the oil in her hands. "Well I don't really care that much, so it's not like you'll get a ticket or anything. You just need to pack up your stuff."
Natasha was completely bent over again, only now she was rubbing oil into her dark skin, starting from the ankles. Wiggling her cheeks back and forth, she let her right hand slide up her crack. Knowing she had Mike's full attention, she grabbed her thong and briefly moved it to the side, leaving her pussy completely exposed for just a couple seconds.
Zack remained determined to stay. "Is there any way we could just keep shooting, and you could look the other way? We came a long way to get out here, and I really doubt anyone else will find us off here in the boonies. I mean, I'm not really sure why you even came out this way."
"I'm on break and wanted to explore," Rick said, half-telling the truth. "Campers like to wander around, and climb these rocks back here. What if some kids had come back here while you were shooting?"
In the background Natasha pulled her string to the side again, only this time Rick could swear he saw her insert a finger for a second. Rick, who'd been trying to quell his boner since the moment he'd first seen Natasha, finally lost the battle, and a tent appeared in his pants. This didn't go unnoticed by Zack. He smiled a bit and said, "Look man, no one else is coming out here. We're not harming anyone.
"I dunno."
Zack had one last card to play. "But I know you're glad you stumbled on us. She has a great ass, doesn't she?"
"Zachary!" Natasha exclaimed through laughter before Rick could answer. "That's not appropriate."
Rick was blushing and still erect. "I don't think I should answer that."
Finally done with her oil, Natasha walked on over. She got up right next to Rick and lowered her sunglasses. She made quick eye contact with him before gazing down towards his bulge. She licked her lips and smiled. "Would you like to watch me pose? I'd love to have a handsome ranger watching me."
Rick was beet red. "I guess so," he said meekly.
"Alright!" Zack shouted excitedly.
As Natasha turned her back to the men and walked back towards her bag, Rick said to Zack, "You could've saved a lot of time by just having her talk to me from the beginning."
The two shared a laugh, and began to bond. It was only a matter of minutes before Rick pulled out the joint, and the two shared a smoke while Natasha modeled in and out of numerous bikinis. However, the dildo was noticeably absent in all photos. Rick assumed this was where the line was drawn for her inhibition.
When the joint was done, Zack called Natahsa over to look at some of the photos. She was pleased with what she saw, but there was one minor suggestion. "I'd like to do some with the handsome ranger," she said.
Rick laughed nervously, not sure if she was joking or not. "I don't think so."
"Come on," she egged him on.
"It's not a good idea. I could lose my job if the wrong person sees them."
Natasha laughed. "We wouldn't post them, obviously. They'd be for my personal collection, like a little souvenir of our amazing day in J-Tree."
Rick sighed. "Fine, I'll take a few, but you've got to promise you won't post them."
"Of course."
She went digging through her bag and pulled out two bikinis, each impossibly small. "Which one?" she asked the ranger.
"I think that one will look good," he said pointing to a white-crocheted little number that was little more than three pieces of string.
"Me too," she agreed, stripping down right in front of him.
After getting the new bikini on, she asked Rick for some help with her oil. She sprayed it over her body, and asked him to rub it in. Rick hesitated and looked over at Zack, who gave him the go ahead.
Starting from the feet he worked his way up her legs. He was hesitant about touching her ass until Natasha said, "It's okay if you touch my bum. This is pretty standard in modeling."
Rick didn't have to be told again. Once he'd lavished her entire nearly-nude body in steamy oil, the two shot some photos together. They began with some generic ones where they stood side-by-side smiling, and a few with Natasha hugging Rick while extending her ass out towards the camera. Then they shot some silly ones with Natasha wearing Rick's ranger hat. Zack was getting some great shots, but there was one small problem. "Rick," he said laughing. "Try to remember to keep your eyes on the lens, not her ass. Although, I see where you're coming from."
