In context, this part of my chronicle of KK's infidelity extends back to our undergraduate college years.
I'd proposed to KK the summer before our freshman year, with the plan to marry after graduation.
I was madly, blindly in love with KK, and to the extent one can know another's heart, I believed she felt the same about me.
Her parents, particularly her religious zealot of a mother were overjoyed - mine less so, because of our age, and potential distraction that might derail our education.
In retrospect, we were both far too young, inexperienced, and naive to consider a commitment like marriage.
Neither of us had any insight into what a traditional monogamous relationship might be like.
For a time, KK broke off our engagement, leaving me heart-broken, pining away for her.
KK had never been happily monogamous, and as I later learned, the "bondage" imposed by our engagement was stifling for her.
KK began exploring her sexuality through a variety of channels in that time-frame.
One channel included working as a model in varied roles, ranging from nude modeling for the University's College of Fine Arts program in life drawing courses, to modeling in various solo and couple's erotic photography sessions.
KK has an exhibitionist tendency, combined with attention-seeking behaviors, all part of her basic personality.
Via encouragement from a friend, KK was introduced to a faculty member in the College of Fine Arts, who taught the department's life-drawing courses.
The Professor, as KK and I now call him, was in an open relationship, and dallied with young female students.
His wife, and several of the coeds in the department modeled for his courses, a paying job, involving nude modeling for a class, sketching the model in varied mediums from charcoal to pencil and ink.
As I later found out, KK interviewed for a part-time modeling job with the Professor, an interview which required KK to strip nude in his office and display herself for the Professor's critique.
She got the job.
At the time, we were still engaged, and I had no idea she was involved in nude modeling.
Looking back, there were signs of problems, all of which I ignored, ranging from friends and acquaintances innuendo about KK's "job," to unexplained absences from appointments, dates and events with friends.
KK's parents were relatively wealthy, and she was on a full-ride scholarship.
Her financial needs were met completely, so there was no money motivation or need for KK to work.
I was blindly in love with KK, and either excused, rationalized, or outright ignored the signs of trouble.
As KK progressed with her excursion of self-discovery, eventually she broke off our engagement.
During that transition, the Professor seduced, and otherwise enticed KK into expanding her modeling from the figure-drawing class, into other domains.
With the Professor as her agent, KK began nude modeling in front of the camera.
At first, the modeling sessions were small groups of mostly men, so-called "fine art" pro-am photographers, ostensibly improving their skills.
These were studio sessions, conducted in the Professor's classroom studio at the university.
KK progressed into more daring shoots, some for individual photographers, in private studios, and location shoots - warehouses, abandoned houses, and outdoor locations.
I did not know, other than in the vaguest of terms, the actual extent of the modeling work she'd done in that era.
Much later in life, during a time when we were using joint counseling to improve our relationship, KK disclosed in generalities the modeling experience.
Decades later, after we'd gone down the road of our current hot wife lifestyle, KK began disclosing more of the details of that period in her life.
One Friday night, when I got home from work, I found a large envelope in my den chair.
There was a post-it note on the clasp, where KK'd drawn a little heart, with the words, "Enjoy!" on it.
I opened the envelope, and found an old, but carefully preserved photo album inside, one I didn't recall ever seeing before.
I flipped the cover open, and inside was written: "1979."
The front-sheet was blank, and I flipped it over.
The first album page was a black-and-white 8 1/2 x 11, with my then 19 year-old fiancΓ©, nude, blindfolded with a dark scarf.
KK was in repose on a floral print chaise lounge, one foot on the cushion, her legs spread, one foot on the floor, one arm across the back of the lounger, and other resting on her thigh.
My cock got instantly hard, and I just stared at the photo, memories flooding back.
At that age, and in that time, KK was not completely shaven.
In that period, KK had a trimmed, dark bush, and from time to time shaved her labia - mostly if I was willing to invest the effort in doing the shaving.
I could see in the photograph her slightly parted, glistening labia, her nipples erect, KK's B-cup breasts firm and luscious.
I was hesitant to turn the page, and just kept staring at the image, with my cock getting harder, straining in my slacks.
I called out for KK, thinking she was somewhere in the house, and got no response.
I left the album on the table, across from my chair, and went looking around the house - I was in a state, too stupid to do the simple thing like look in the garage to see if her car was there, or in the usual place, a white-board on the refrigerator where she leaves notes and other info.
When I finally made the second pass through the kitchen, I noticed the whiteboard:
"Out with the girls for a drink and dinner, home later.
You're on your own."
I grabbed a beer from the fridge, and went back to my den, my cock still hard.
Taking a swig of the cold beer, I got the album, stared at the photo, thinking about KK in those years, so hot, and such a horny little thing.
I took another drink, and turned the page.
The left-hand page contained a pair of smaller photos, one color, one black-and-white, probably from the same shoot.
In those shots, KK was similarly posed; in the B&W shot, bent slightly, facing away from the camera, both hands on the back of a kitchen-style chair, wearing a blindfold, this one light-colored, showing her little ass to the camera.
Her legs were slightly spread, barefoot, and in the first shot, her head was turned to toward the camera, with a slight smile on her face.
In the color image, she had one foot on the floor, and one on the seat of the chair, otherwise the pose was similar.
In the color shot, the blindfold appeared to be a white silk scarf, and her smooth, pale skin contrast against the wood of the chair and shadow in the scene.
