My older sister went to art college. I had no talent for art. I couldn't even tell if she was any good or not. Mum seemed to think she was brilliant, so I took her word for it. To tell the truth, art leaves me cold. I don't even know what I like. It's just stuff to hang on walls. You might as well take a photo with your phone if you want a picture to look at. I've taken plenty of those. My thing is music. But you don't want to read about all that.
So Emily - my sister - went to one of those fancy art colleges in London. It was pretty near where we lived, so she didn't have to leave home. I didn't mind. I know brothers and sisters are supposed to hate each other, but we weren't like that. We got on OK. She was pretty loud and annoying sometimes, like when one of her paintings wasn't going right, but most of the time she was alright. She also had lots of girlfriends who were always coming round. They'd disappear into her room and play crap music and laugh a lot. I'd put on my headphones and let them get on with it. Actually, to be honest, that wasn't entirely true. Most of her friends were pretty hot and they didn't seem to care too much how little they wore or how much of their bodies were on show. For a teenager it was pretty frustrating. Needless to say, they figured pretty highly in my masturbation fantasies. I complained that they were always teasing me but mum was dismissive. 'They're young girls. What do you expect?' It was never nasty teasing. Apparently they were just having fun.
On the other hand, Emily knew she had to keep me onside. I was her regular model. When she started showing a bit of ability at art, mum and dad converted the attic into this huge studio with a massive skylight, racks for her paintings, a sink and a couch to rest on when she was exhausted from painting too much. It was a tip but no one was allowed in there without her say-so, not even mum or dad. She used to draw me when I was doing my homework up there or listening to some tracks. Sometimes she'd ask me to pose in some weird position, in which case she had to give me some pocket money. A few times she'd get me to wear particular clothes she liked and do a proper painting. Once she got me to pose with my guitar. I think it was that picture that got her into college. It looked good to me, but what do I know?
When she went to college I assumed that'd be the end of my modelling career. Which was a bugger because I wouldn't get the pocket money. But in fact I was even more in demand. Mum and dad were away a lot with their international charity work by then and most of the time we had the house to ourselves. Emily wanted me to pose almost every other day. I was cruising at school. I was into music software in a big way by then, but I gave myself plenty of time off. Besides I quite liked sitting looking at Sis work while she was trying to draw me. Quite often she had a girlfriend or two with her and they would all draw me. It was kind of flattering in a way to be stared at so intensely.
One day she announced she wanted to draw me topless. 'We're into human anatomy now,' she said, as if that was sufficient explanation.
It was OK by me, especially when she said she'd pay me more. So from then on I had to take my t-shirt off and let her study my muscles and tendons and all that. She got me into poses that showed off my light and shade, as she put it. Some of them were painful, but she didn't stick me in them for long so I didn't get cramp or pull a muscle.
None of her friends from art college had a studio like Emily's so they were round our place a lot. There was plenty of room up there. Room enough for ten of them, though there were usually only three or four. There were a couple of crates, which Emily got me to stand or sit on so they could get a good view of me. They sat round on chairs, sometimes hiding behind their easels but mostly with drawing pads on their knees. The place stank of turps for cleaning their brushes, but I got used to it. It was a bit embarrassing sitting without a t-shirt on in front of her and her friends the first time. They said things like, 'Oo, look at all those muscles,' and 'What muscles? I can't see any,' and 'Hold your stomach in. Oh, sorry, you are,' etc etc. Hilarious. That sort of thing made me blush at first, but they were soon busy drawing or painting or whatever.
One day, when mum and dad were away on one of their endless trips, Emily came into my room. She'd just started her third year by then and I'd left school in the summer. Unusually for her, she seemed a bit tongue-tied. She kept asking me about my music and what I was listening to. Which was weird because she'd never shown any interest in it before.
Eventually I twigged she wanted some kind of favour. 'Out with it. What do you want?'
'Do you reckon you could pose for me nude?'
'Fuck, no way.'
'Oh come on, Charlie,' she said, using her best pleading voice. 'We have to do male nudes and the models they have at college are all fat or old or weird looking. I need someone young, who's still got some muscles.'
'I'm not having you staring at my tackle for hours.'
'I wouldn't be. I'm more interested in back views.'
'Or my bum.'
'And it wouldn't be for hours,' she continued as if I hadn't spoken. 'I just need to make some quick drawings.'
I argued the toss for a bit longer, but she clinched it when she offered more money. I'd never been naked in front of anyone before, but I'd been as good as on the beach in speedos, so I reckoned I could hack it. I worried that it might be a bit weird stripped off in front of my sister but that wasn't what really concerned me. Although I was eighteen I was a bit short for my age - a bit over five foot five - and as a consequence looked younger. I got a fair bit of teasing from her and her girlfriends as a result. But even that wasn't the real problem. The fact is I had a larger than normal schlong, even when it was flaccid, and I wasn't too sure how she'd react. Would she laugh? Would she make some comment? Would I go red? And worst of all, would I get an erection?
The next morning I hoped she'd forgotten about it, but she was ready and waiting, eager to get started. She hung around while I was having breakfast and psyching myself up. 'You don't have to hover,' I said. 'I'll be there.'
I had a shower then shoved on a dressing gown and went up to her studio. She was fussing over her paints and things and I realised she was probably as nervous as I was. She'd painted nude men before, but maybe painting your brother is different. I said, 'Where do you want me?'
'Start sitting on the chair. Choose a position you're comfortable with and we'll go from there.'
'OK.'
I sat on the chair and let the dressing gown sort of flop beneath me. I leant forward with my chin resting on my hand, my elbow resting on my knee. It wasn't that comfortable but I did it mainly so she couldn't see my tackle.
'That's great. Do you reckon you can stay in that position for 20 minutes?'
'Sure.'
She worked away on her drawing pad, looking at me intently the way she always did and gradually we both began to relax. My mind began to wander like it usually did when I was modelling for her and pretty soon it didn't seem weird to be sitting in front of her with no clothes on.
'OK,' she said after 20 minutes, 'do you want to move?'
'If you like.' I sat sideways on the chair with my leg up a bit so my cock was still hidden from her.
'That looks a bit uncomfortable. You sure you can hold it?'
'Yeah, no problem.' In fact it was already aching a bit, so I put my hands round my knee. That was a bit better.
'Thanks for doing this, Charlie,' she said. 'You're quite fit.'
I didn't say anything, just concentrated on not blushing. My mind wandered again and before I knew it she'd finished with me in that pose.
'Can I do one of you standing?'
'Sure,' I said without thinking. I stood up, too late realising I'd have difficulty hiding my cock. I put my hands over it and half turned away from her. 'This OK?'
'Nice bum,' she said.
