Vanessa and I followed Alvin around the corner and onto the movie set. I was surprised at how real it looked. For a second, I was transported into a rundown old-time movie theater, with red velvet curtains on the walls and stuffed chairs occupied mainly by scantily clad women.
Alvin turned to me. "The scene is set in the main receiving room of a seventies brothel. I want you to sit here and just act natural. When you hear 'quiet, please,' your partner and a few friends will enter through the door and walk around. I won't introduce you to him because I want you to flirt with the guys in the group. You need to get one of them to take you into the back and fuck you. Just follow his lead, and the scene will be perfect. Any questions?"
I asked the first thing that came to mind. "Where are the cameras?" I hadn't seen any equipment anywhere since I'd gotten there.
He pointed upward at the darkness above the set. It took a second for my eyes to adjust enough to see several of them.
"Any real questions?" Alvin asked, glancing at his watch.
"Are you sure he will want me?" I asked, running my hands over my baby bump.
Alvin rolled his eyes. "Lisa, you are beautiful. Of course, he will want you, as will the thousands of subscribers who sign up specifically to watch pregnant women have sex. You're going to do great." He touched my shoulders briefly before turning to answer a question from one of his team.
I was nervous. Up to that point, I had pretended it was a game. Doing so was becoming progressively more complicated as the moment of truth grew closer.
I'm doing a porno. Shit... I'm doing a porno!
Running my hands over my stomach, more to reassure myself than anything, I shook my head.
Vanessa hugged me. "You'll do great; just follow the guy's lead." With one last look at me and a quick two thumbs up, she turned and walked toward the costume area.
Alvin pointed at my chair again before moving in the opposite direction. "Places!" he yelled abruptly. "Live set in five."
I shyly grinned at the blonde woman in the adjacent chair, then sat down and took a few deep breaths.
"I'm Grace," she said, extending her hand. It startled me a little; I had already been getting stuck inside my head.
I shook her hand. "Lisa." I looked around the room at the other women. There had to have been fifteen at least sitting in various chairs or loungers. "I don't really understand what I'm supposed to be doing. I thought porno movies involved a camera and a bed."
Grace laughed. The sound put me at ease. "That's old school. Think of it like an adult version of a reality TV show. The customer can follow their favorite actor around the 'house' and watch her interactions."
Soft pop music started to play. Someone said, "Live in one."
Grace leaned back in her chair and started twisting her long blonde hair around a finger. "Just relax and enjoy yourself, Lisa."
From the darkness off to the side, someone said, "Quiet, please."
All the noise around the set stopped, allowing the squeak of the door opening to catch my attention. Turning, I saw a group of men walk inside, talking to themselves while chatting up the different women they passed. The group slowly dwindled as they picked women to leave the set with. I kept my eyes on them as they moved toward where I sat; my nerves were getting the better of me, so I kept fidgeting in my seat.
"Will you stop doing that?" Grace whispered.
"Sorry," I murmured. I didn't ask what she'd meant; I didn't need to. I closed my eyes and balled up my hands as I concentrated on calming myself down. It must have looked funny because Grace started laughing.
Her soft laughter was contagious, and I found myself chuckling as well. I glanced at her and said, "I've never done anything like this. I'm terrified and excited and keep asking myself what have I gotten myself into."
"I think everyone goes through that their first couple of times; then you realize it's just a job, and the money is fucking fantastic. Oh, quiet. Here they come."
The group of guys had dwindled to three when they approached Grace and me. The guy in the middle was taller than the other two and had a deep olive complexion. I could tell he worked out a lot; his muscles were visible beneath his tight shirt. A part of me wondered what he did for a living.
Construction, maybe?
He barely looked at Grace as he walked up to me. "What do we have here? A hot little MILF- to-be?" He'd noticed my wedding ring. "Out playing around on your husband, I bet." He took my hand, kissing the back of it while looking into my eyes.
Blushing furiously, I only managed to get out nonsense. "I, ah... err... that is..."
"First time working, honey?"
My tongue was still tied, so I nodded.
"Well, I promise you will have the time of your life with me, sweetheart." Glancing around, he leaned closer. "Why don't we go somewhere a little more private?"
Some part of me wanted to say no, but that part wasn't in control. I just nodded, blushing as his eyes traveled over my body. The stranger helped me stand, pulling me toward a hallway that led deeper into the building. I glanced back at Grace, who waved at me, then returned her attention to the two guys still standing near her.
We walked down the semi-dark hallway until we got to a heavy sheet of plastic blocking it. Stickers with 'do-not-enter' signs adorned it.
The man started to push through the slit in the plastic, but I pulled back. He looked back at me; his expression was one of mild amusement. "What's wrong, darling?"
I crossed my arms under my breasts, trying to communicate how obvious the issue was. "It says, 'Do not enter.'"
He shrugged. "The entire building is being renovated. Some sections are marked as 'do not enter' but are completely safe and private. They just put that up to keep people from wandering through them. I wanted somewhere more private with fewer chances of someone recording me. The last thing I need is my wife finding out I was banging some hot twenty-something MILF."
We're shooting a porno,
I thought,
so you're going to get recorded.
My confusion must have shown on my face.
He leaned in close and lowered his voice to a whisper. "It's all part of the script, Lisa. Just play along."
His smile was contagious and put me at ease. Glancing around to ensure no one was looking, I hurriedly followed him through the plastic. The corridor on the other side of the barrier was littered with trash and building materials. The man just wove around the mess, pointing out things that might be dangerous in the debris so I could avoid them.
Finally, we came to a room that still had a door. He pulled a key from his pocket, lending further credence to everything being part of the script. The room's interior was in decent shape, with a large king-size bed occupying most of the floor space.
