Part 1 - The Photoshoot
"OK Paul, but let's make this real," Nora said with a devilish smile on her lips. "If you don't seduce the photographer, if you scare her away, or if she leaves the 'studio' for any reason, the scene is over and you don't get sex tonight. There's no coming to me afterwards saying, 'baby I'm so horney, we've got to finish.' If there's no sex between the roleplay characters, then there's no sex between us either. You're either jerking off alone or going to bed with blue balls tonight. Agreed?"
I was a bit taken aback by her challenge. I just wanted to have some fun and make love to my wife. I'd had a shitty day and was looking forward to relaxing at home and spending some sexy time with my beautiful spouse.
To spice up our sex life, we would occasionally incorporate roleplay games and we both enjoyed playing out different scenes. I particularly liked situations where Nora was dominant, like the female warden role, and I was her submissive tool, like the helpless male prisoner. Part of me liked being dominated and used by a strong and sexy woman, but only in the bedroom and only during roleplay scenes. Unfortunately, this photoshoot scenario that she was proposing sounded like I could easily wind up having no sexual release tonight. "That seems a bit harsh," I replied.
"That makes it real, Paul. If there's no risk of failure, there's no genuine excitement, is there? There's no real emotion, no suspense, no real fun, and no sense of accomplishment if you actually succeed. Why bother playing the game if it's just scripted with a predictable outcome? In that case, it really doesn't interest me," Nora said matter-of-factly.
"So you want this to be a scene where you hold all the power and I pour my heart into it, only to possibly get rejected in the end," I said with some apprehension. I'd suffered occasional sexual rejection in the past year and I knew how it made me feel. I could see this turning into a major hurt if Nora decided, for whatever reason, that my performance wasn't adequate. It's one thing to drop a hint and be turned away. It's another to play out an entire scene, with all of its anticipation and emotion, only to be rebuffed in the end. If I was confident that we'd make love before it was over, I'd be all for this, but I wasn't so sure it would turn out that way. Nora would set the bar high and if I didn't surpass it, she would carry through on her threat. She wasn't mean, but that's how the game worked in her mind.
"Unless you're a rapist, the female does have all the power. If she says no, then you don't get sex. That's how it was when we were dating. What's wrong Paul, don't think you can win me over anymore? Lost your self confidence? What would you do if we broke up and you had to start over again? Maybe you do need practice because I don't recall you being so fearful a few years ago," she said teasingly. Nora's words stung, mainly because they rang true. I had lost some of my self confidence. In fact, I'd lost a lot of my self confidence around the entire dating thing. "Are you up for the challenge?" she asked, and now it really felt like I was being set up to fail.
"Forget it. Bad idea. I thought this would be fun, not some test of my masculinity. My day was crap and I'm tired of failing," I replied, somewhat deflated. I flopped down onto the couch and reached for the TV remote, but I didn't bother to hit the 'On' button. I was lost in my feelings of disappointment and some self-pity.
"Paul?" It was Nora's voice, but she was now using a totally different tone. "Babe, I'm sorry you had a bad day. I didn't mean to upset you?" The challenge in her voice was gone and now she sounded surprised and concerned. I didn't look up and I started to feel embarrassed at my reaction to her teasing. Maybe I could just laugh and tell her it was all an act and I was teasing her back. I forced a smile on my face and looked up at my wife. "Just joking. I'm not upset. Just playing a part."
I could see by the look on her face she wasn't buying it. She walked over and sat beside me on the couch. "I'm not testing you babe. You could win me over any day of the week. I love you. Paul, you're not failing. Babe, what's going on in that head of yours. Come here," she said softly as she wrapped her arms around me and pulled me in for a hug. Suddenly, as I felt her warmth and her comfort, all those emotions of inadequacy drained away and I just felt stupid for my reaction. I kissed her, passionately, and she kissed me back with the same intensity.
Nora broke our kiss and put her lips to my ear. While my hands began to wander up and down her back, she whispered, "So what kind of a photoshoot will we be doing tonight?" She pushed away from me, folded her hands in her lap, looked down and said, I'm just nineteen and I've only had one boyfriend. I'm very nervous because I've only seen one real penis in my entire life. I've never photographed one before so I'm kind of scared. Can you be patient with me and guide me through it?"
I smiled. Nora always liked to fill out the backstory of her character at the beginning of the scene and she was very creative. Right now, she looked and acted like a shy young woman afraid that she'd gotten herself into a situation that she wasn't ready for. Her discomfort was palpable and my arousal was growing.
"Don't worry, young lady. After all, it's just a penis. We'll keep things very professional," I said comfortingly.
"Have you ever modeled nude for a female photographer before? Oh my God, what if your thing gets hard. I think I'll faint." Nora covered her mouth with her hand at the very thought of seeing my erect penis.
I chuckled and assured her, "Erections are completely natural. No need to feel embarrassed. But I will need some closeups of my erect penis, so you may have to get right in there for the best angles. Don't be afraid. I've done this before. It's very professional, like going to the doctor."
"Do you think you could just keep that part of you covered? I'd feel a lot less nervous if your man parts weren't exposed."
"No. I'm sorry. As I explained, taking closeup shots of my erect cock is part of the assignment. It's the primary symbol of masculinity and I want lots of shots focussed on this symbol."
"Please don't use that word. It's so dirty. Can't you call it a penis?" she asked demurely as she looked away.
"Sure. I can call it that, but you're going to have to get comfortable with being just inches away from my erect penis during the photoshoot. And if you need to touch it, to position it just right for the pose, that's OK. I won't mind."
"I'll have to touch it? I don't think I can do that," the young lady said with fear in her voice.
"Don't worry, I'll help you," I said reassuringly.
"OK, I have to get ready for the shoot. The studio's over there," she said pointing to the guest bedroom. "Do you want to get yourself prepared while I get my equipment? You can change in the bathroom. There's a robe in there you can put on and then wait for me in the studio. I'll need ten minutes so you might want to shower before you go to the studio." With those instructions, Nora got up from the couch and walked towards the master bedroom without looking back.
