I figured I'd wait until she got home to tell her. I had just received an email from a wealthy patron of my arts, one who I've done work for in the past of a similar nature. The offer was $15,000 for three large photographic prints depicting interracial lovemaking. The client was a black businessman who lived alone. In the past, I had photographed nude black women and men for art ranging from traditional, to more fetish and erotic pieces. The work I did for him was some of the most challenging and enjoyable so far, and I was looking forward to getting on with this project. This was also the largest payout I had ever been offered to make art and it definitely needed to happen.
It was about 5:00 and my wife, Holly, was going to be getting home soon. I decided to get a drink and get on the computer to get inspiration and compile some ideas I was already having. I was so excited they just kept popping into my head, along with variations of each, that I couldn't write or draw fast enough.
After about 45 minutes, and 3 drinks later, the door downstairs clicked and opened. I shuffled to the door to greet her and tell her about the offer. She was excited and it seemed like she already was planning on what she could do with the money.
"What are you thinking," I asked?
"Student loans, for one," she sighed, "then maybe a small trip for us, or a down payment on a new car?"
"Maybe, yeah those loans," I grumbled.
"So I assume you're going to do it?," she asked.
"Yeah, I need to find a location though. I was thinking maybe this hotel that I stayed at for work. It was a great suite and the price is no problem with what I'm being paid...tons of natural light."
"Ok, just lemmie know if you want me to come with."
"We might have a good time later, who knows. It'll be a vacation, plus you can help me carry some of my gear," I suggested with a wink.
As the next couple weeks went by, I researched some models and met with a few who said they would be fine with the subject and what I'd be asking them to do.
I came up with a guy I have photographed before, Malik. I had photographed him for a series of mostly abstract photos of his body including various states of arousal, and then another time fully aroused and masturbating. Malik was about 6'5", was fit, but not ripped. He was also pretty well endowed.
I had a harder time finding a woman for project, as I expected. I settled on Jenny. The client specifically stated he wanted a more plus size model and she fit the bill perfectly. Her thickness was magnificent and she was pretty excited about the project from what I could tell, though she was very professional.
A couple weeks later on a Tuesday, the three of us met to go over my ideas more in depth and set up transportation and all the logistics. The deadline was looming, but as long as the photography was done this weekend, the photographs were going to be ready by the client's deadline.
After all the planning, it was Saturday morning, and Holly and I were going heading to the hotel. It was a couple hours away. We were going to meet Malik and Jenny there as they were going to drive together and get to know each other before getting so intimate. The check-in went smoothly, and I began to unpack some of my equipment. We were planning on everybody else arriving at 11am and starting photography around 1 or 2pm, so I started to get everything out and set up right away. It was only an hour until we expected them to arrive.
In the hotel room, I pinned up some sketches of the three shots I definitely wanted to get. It depicted a progress of events with many small variations here and there where I could get some extra shots and pick the best for the client. The rough idea was to start with the man's black hands coming around playing with the breasts of the white woman. The second should would be penetration in the reverse cowgirl position, and finally a nice close shot of her neatly manicured nails wrapped around a stiff erection with semen running down his shaft and her fingers.
Right on time, there was a knock on the door. I opened it to find Malik with an uneasy look on his face.
"Where's Jenny?" I asked?
"Jenny wasn't there when I went to pick her up," Malik spoke, "it was like she never lived there. Then I called her to see where she was and she tells me some story about moving away because of something I didn't quite catch."
I just stood there. My $15,000 payday was on the line. "Well, we're in a big city. I'm sure we can find somebody here who'd like to get paid, haha! Right?"
Malik chuckled a little but didn't look too enthusiastic.
"Come on in though. Maybe we can figure something out."
The three of us got together, Malik, Holly, and myself, and opened a bottle of wine while we chatted about the position we were in.
We decided I'd just look extra hard that night and see what we could come up with for the next day. After a couple bottles, it was getting late and Malik decided to return to his room and get some rest for the next day.
I had wanted to keep the morale high while we were together, but once Holly and I were alone, I confessed that there seemed little hope we'd be able to get a suitable model willing to have sex with a man that she had just met, especially for photography.
Not more than fifteen minutes later, Malik offered an idea.
The text read, "What about Holly?"
"No, I can't do that," Holly replied when I told her about his idea.
"I know, but I wanted to see what you thought and not just keep it to myself," I stated, "but it is the biggest payday we've had."
"Yeah, true," Holly confessed, "I just couldn't do that to you...or us I guess. I mean the boobs and the hands, fine, maybe, but I'd be having sex."
"Yeah, I don't know. I'll text him in a few to let him know that's a no-go."
"I mean...not to be interested, but I think I could keep it professional if Jenny would have been able to," Holly said cautiously, "like you said, it's a lot of money."
"I guess we can think about it more tonight," I sighed.
It wasn't long until we were both ready for bed. The wine had done us in and if we were going to figure any last minute plans, we needed some sleep.
The next morning, the sun was perfect against the sheer curtains of the long bank of windows in our hotel room. Holly was already in the shower, so I figured I should get up too. I had my normal morning erection, so I decided to do something about it and clear my head. I hadn't quite finished when the shower stopped. I stuffed my stiffness back into my underwear as she emerged from the door wearing her towel, which appeared to be hastily wrapped around herself as I could see a nipple poking out from an opening. She had a glass of wine in her hand as she stood there.
