Taking one last deep breath to steady her nerves Zoe rang the doorbell. In the midst of failing miserably to find a birthday present for Adam she spotted an advert for a boudoir photography session. It was advertised as being both confidence building and an original present for a loved one. She had read the details on the website over and over, concentrating on the bits that stressed how she would be made to feel at ease and wouldn't be expected to do anything she wasn't comfortable with.
For a moment her courage and resolve slipped and she considered walking away and giving up her deposit. But then the door opened and she would have felt too foolish to have been seen chickening out. An attractive brunette lady greeted her "Hi, I'm Lucy. You must be Zoe. Please come in." Zoe shook the outstretched hand and followed Lucy up stairs into a reception area. "Stephen will be here shortly to discuss today's proceedings. Can I get you a coffee while you wait?" Zoe accepted the offer and looked around the room while she waited for her drink. It looked clean, smart and modern and she was comforted by the absence of any kind of sleaziness about the place.
Lucy appeared with the coffee, followed by a tall, fit looking man with short dark hair and a friendly smile. "Hi, I'm Stephen" he said, extending his hand. Zoe remained seated while they shook hands, then he took a seat opposite her. Over coffee he explained how the session would proceed, which basically involved Lucy helping her with wardrobe, make up etc and him guiding her through the different poses and actually taking the photos. Finally he told her that the whole point was really for her to enjoy the experience, so if at any time she felt uncomfortable with a pose, or choice of clothing then she shouldn't be afraid to say so. "And remember, apart from Lucy and me, the only people who will see the pictures are you and anyone you choose to share them with. You ready to go?" Zoe nodded her assent and Lucy took her hand and led her through to the dressing room.
"Right, if you want to change into your first choice of lingerie I'll see if I can find something nice to go with it." Zoe couldn't believe how matter of fact Lucy made it sound, but then again, she reasoned, she must do this a lot. As Zoe started to undress Lucy made no effort to look away, causing her to feel more than a little self-conscious. Lucy's efforts to make her feel relaxed by telling her how good she looked and what a lovely body she had didn't really help much.
Once she was completely naked Zoe began to sort through the collection of lingerie she had brought with her. Selecting a pair of fishnet hold-ups, a black lacy thong, and semi-sheer vest top, she got herself ready for her first outfit. Lucy selected a very short, very tight, very clingy black dress for her to try on. Her fingers brushed lightly against Zoe's back as she helped her pull the dress on over her head, causing and involuntary shiver. "I'm sorry, did I hurt you?"
"No, no, not at all. It's just that my back is, err, quite sensitive." Zoe could feel herself blushing but didn't know why. Plenty of women had seen her undressing and dressing in the gym changing rooms, so there was no reason to feel differently about it here.
"I'll try and be more careful next time" smiled Lucy. "Have a look in the mirror and see what you think. For what it's worth I think you look stunning."
Zoe blushed again at the compliment as Lucy ushered her across to stand in front of the mirror. Even standing up straight the lace tops of her stockings were visible below the hem of the dress, but given the nature of the photoshoot she figured that would be OK. It wasn't as though she was going out shopping in it.
"Happy?"
"I guess." She felt suddenly very nervous.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine. Stephen is very good and very professional. He'll have you feeling sexy and relaxed in no time." Lucy gave her a quick hug of encouragement and led her through to the studio. The room was bright and airy, with a large cream L-shaped sofa dominating the floor space.
Stephen started off with some shots of her sitting on the sofa, variously leaning forward and back; with her legs crossed and slightly parted. Her posing was extremely stiff and unnatural at first, but there was something about Stephen's voice and manner that helped her relax, and she became much more natural. Once she started to relax he got her to pose on the sofa on all fours while he worked around taking shots from all sorts of angles and heights. Then he moved her round to the back of the sofa and got her to lean over it.
At his instruction Lucy moved in to hitch the dress up, completely exposing her legs and bum. She quickly got over her initial shock at the suddenness of this action and even spread her legs without question when Stephen instructed her. All the time he was telling her how sexy she looked and how much her husband was going to enjoy his birthday present. Normally she would have found another man telling her she looked sexy sleazy and threatening, but that was not the case here. She just found it flattering.
Stephen's professionalism meant that each pose was just a bit more revealing and erotic than the last, and he had Zoe laid back on the sofa with her legs apart and her hands stroking her thighs above her stocking tops before suggesting that it was time for the dress to come off. Once more Lucy was ready and willing to help, pulling the dress up over Zoe's head.
She was suddenly aware of how visible her breasts were through her top to a man she had only met half an hour ago, and instinctively put her hands up to cover them. Stephen was having none of that and with some gentle persuasion had her once more adopting a series of more and more daring poses. Zoe was now very well aware that her nipples were poking through the flimsy material of her top, betraying the effect the proceedings were having on her.
The sight wasn't lost on Stephen who suggested that she remove the top. Instinctively she objected, but Stephen pointed out just how revealing her top was in any case. "But it's still a top. It's alright for you, you're keeping your clothes on."
"If I remove my t-shirt will you take off your top?" After a period of feeling reasonably comfortable Zoe felt herself once more blushing furiously.
"That's not what I meant" she protested. But even as she spoke he pulled his t-shirt off over his head, revealing a trim athletic torso. With a shrug of resignation she tugged her vest off and passed it to Lucy. After a few more shots to get her back into some sort of comfort zone Stephen asked her to start caressing her breasts. In response to her objections he pointed out how much Adam would enjoy the resulting photos.
Closing her eyes she started to fondle her pert boobs, initially in a very awkward manner, like a teenage boy's first attempt on his girlfriend. However as her nipples hardened further she actually started to enjoy the sensation, and for a moment even forgot that she was being photographed by a complete stranger. She was only jerked back to reality by Stephen's exclamation of "Amazing."
