The first thing Dylan felt when he rolled out of bed was his head. It throbbed. On top of that, his legs felt like he had run a marathon, his back felt like he had fought a tiger, and his cock was sore. Two aspirin, a warm shower, and a bowl of cereal later, he felt his body begin to reassemble itself. It was near to noon and he checked his messages on his phone. He deleted most of them but repeated the one from Veronica.
"Hi Dylan, this is Veronica. We met at Cindy and Carl's cookout. I was calling about some work I might have for you. Give me a call Monday through Friday from nine to four," the voice-mail said.
He jotted down the number and called back.
"Oh, hi, Dylan," Veronica said. "Yeah. I might have some work for you. When's a good time for you to swing on down here."
"I'll get ready and head down in a bit," he said, eager to earn a bit of cash. "Give me the address."
He tore off the paper he wrote the address on and quickly got changed. He slipped out the door and on his way out saw Cindy running up the driveway. She waved and he walked up to her.
"Sleep in," she said. She breathed heavily and he could see the outlines of her nipples through her sports bra.
"I'm not as young as you are," he said and gave her his best smile. "I need more time to recover."
She swatted his arm but beamed from the compliment.
"Heading out?" she asked.
"I have a potential job I need to take care of."
He was about to leave when Cindy asked, "Do you remember Carla falling down? She woke up this morning and is having trouble walking."
"Not that I remember," he said and when he turned, he wore a wide grin.
He arrived at a small boutique shop. The bell chimed as he entered and Veronica stood behind the glass counter talking to a customer. She wore a blue sweater and jeans that didn't do her justice, especially after seeing her fill out that summer dress at the barbecue. He waited until they completed the transaction and then he walked up.
"Thanks for coming down," she said.
"No problem. What can I do for you?" "I've been putting some of my jewelery up on the web but they haven't been selling that well and Kim said you did a great job on her photos."
"That's nice of her to refer me," he said. "I'll be happy to help out in any way I can. Do you have a space in the back where I can set up?"
"Yes. Follow me," she said and slipped behind a curtained doorway.
Dylan followed her into the backroom where boxes were stacked up against the wall. She stepped into a small office but it was big enough for what he needed.
"This is perfect," he said.
He set up his lighting, a black backdrop, and camera. Veronica kept bringing him pieces to photograph. There had to be at least a hundred different pieces. She brought him lunch and finally the shop closed. She hovered outside the office as he finished up the last couple of pieces. He then reviewed some of the photos with her.
"What do you think?" he asked.
"I like them," she said. "What about you?"
"Truthfully? I don't know. The shots to me are all bland. Maybe if someone wore the jewelery it might work better."
"I can't hire a model," she said.
"I don't think you need to hire a model. You're practically one yourself," he said and her smile brightened the office.
"You want to photograph me?" she asked.
"Why not," he said. He readjusted the tripod and lighting and took her by the hand, leading her into the office. "Stand here."
She obeyed.
"Okay, now put on those earrings and necklace."
She did. He walked up behind her and attached the necklace. Her perfume tickled his nose. He then tied her black hair back with a hair tie, positioned her by adjusting her shoulders, and went back to his camera. The lens loved her. He instructed her to try a couple of more positions, hands on hips, arms back, and he tried to get her to laugh.
"How's it going?" she asked, really enjoying the attention.
"Great," he said, handing her some more jewelry to put on. "Do you have another shirt to wear? I don't want every shot to be in the same outfit."
"I could try on a few of the outfits in the store," she said. "Then I could list them on the website too."
"Great idea," he said and she headed out of the office.
She returned a short time later in a black halter top that accentuated her neck, shoulders, and breasts. The black skirt she wore flared out. She spun around and looked at him.
"What do you think?" she asked.
"You look beautiful," he said and began adjusting the camera. He approached her adjusted the necklace, his hands coming in contact with her upper breast. He then arched her shoulders back and pushed her hair back behind her shoulders. He hurried back to the camera. "Now give me the look you give your husband when you want him to come to bed."
Her eyes grew hungry and he felt a jolt rush to his nether-regions as he clicked the camera over and over again. He then had her turn around, stick her bubble butt out and look back at the camera. He held her waist to adjust her, touched her exposed arms, and tilted her chin. After a few more shots, he had her go change. This time she came in a bright red evening gown that stopped above her knee caps. The top dipped down enough to see a a substantial amount of her cleavage. She had put on a diamond necklace and earrings.
"Wow," he said as she moved to the center of the room.
She twirled around with her hands extended and said, "Do you like it?"
"You look exquisite," he said. "You have a very lucky husband."
"If only he knew that," she said. "Where would you like me?"
"How about a powerful shot?" he said and placed her in a wide stance with her hands on her hips. He went back to the camera. "Okay. I want you to look at me like you are demanding something. I have something you want very bad and you are going to get it no matter what. Good. That's it."
She leaned her hip one way and then they other, all the while glaring at him. He stepped away from the camera and walked over and behind her. He pulled down one of the straps to the dress and then took her hand put it on the hem of her dress and had her lift it up some. Her breath grew heavy as he let go of her hand and moved back to the camera.
"Back to sexy," he said. "Now lift the dress a bit higher"
She lifted it a few inches more so that much of her thigh was exposed. The left strap that he had pulled down had exposed half of her breast. She smiled and bit her lower lip.
"That's it," he said, snapping away. "Perfect."
He stepped away from the camera and she straightened up her dress.
"Was that good?" she asked.
"Good? The camera loves you," he said. "You could be a professional if you wanted too."
"Really?" she said, excitement in her tone. She moved over to where she had put several other items she had brought out. "I think I have something to match this."
She preceded to head out and soon came back in gray work skirt and white buttoned top. She paired that with a green emerald stone on a sterling silver necklace. As he was about to position her, her phone that she had placed on her desk began to ring. She picked it up.
"Hello. Hi, honey. Yeah I'm working late also. I'm still at the shop. No problem. Don't drink too much. Love you," she said and hung up the phone. "Now where were we?"
"Go ahead and stand on the same mark," he said and then grabbed the clipboard off the desk. He handed it to her. "Let's go with the naughty teacher look."
He stood in front of her, fixed a few stray hairs, and then unbuttoned more of her buttons, letting his palm rest on the top of her breast as he did so. She stared down at his hands as he did so and then up at him.
