Alice walked nervously into the hotel lobby. She looked from side to side making sure she didn't see anyone she knew. But that was ridiculous. This was a local Holiday Inn, why would anyone she knew even be there? Why was she there, she asked herself. A reasonable woman would not be here looking for people she had only talked to over the phone. She took a deep breath and went up to the reception desk. "I'm looking for Mark Stone. He's supposed to be staying here," she told the clerk.
"You're the fourth one today. Room 314," he remarked, eyeing her cleavage. She had worn a low-cut crimson red blouse and a thigh-length white skirt that held her tight. The clerk smiled, almost leering. This made Alice even more nervous. In a daze, Alice turned and went toward the staircase to the third floor. The world seemed far away as she approached the door. Her head was full of vertigo and she thought she might pass out. Her heart pounded in her chest. She looked at the ugly floral design on the closed curtain. She could turn around now and they would never know she was here.
Alice knocked on the door, compelled by an unknown power. A tall, handsome man answered and said, "Yes?"
"I'm Alice Mussell. Are you Mark?"
"No, I'm Keith, his photographer. Come on in." The man turned and left the door open. Alice stared at it blankly. She then surveyed the room. It was fairly large and there was a set-up for taking pictures: camera, lighting, 'props'. She froze when she saw a selection of dildos on a nightstand next to the bed. Perhaps she had gone too far.
"Hi, I'm Mark. Are you okay?" Another attractive young man stood in front of her. They were young enough to be her grandchildren.
"Yes. Maybe if I sat down," Alice said. They led her in and let her sit in a chair at the table. She could survey the room better now that she was inside. The bed was made and a desk was set up with an interview chair. The hot lights made the room bright.
"Would you like something to drink? A Coke or some water? Or a cold towel?" Mark asked. It was hard for Alice to believe he was so polite. Considering what she was here for.

Alice's husband had died just a few months ago. Between their Social Security and his meager pension, she was just getting by. It wasn't a thrilling life but she survived. Her only son lived across the country. She had few friends that she saw on any regular basis. Alice mostly read books, magazines and newspapers. That's where she had seen the ad. Normally she wouldn't be reading the classifieds but she was considering getting a part-time job to relieve the boredom and loneliness and make a few bucks.

Well of course this looks great, she thought, but they want young, vibrant girls in their early 20s, not a 63-year old grandmother. She was still in pretty good shape. Her 38C chest was not as firm as it once was but she still had a nice legs and butt from walking daily for 30 years. I could use the money and it does say any age, she thought. She picked up the phone and dialed. The man on the other end was very pleasant. He told Alice that he took 'sexy' pictures of amateur women for a website. She asked what they paid and was floored by his answer: $200-$1000 depending on how well I do!
He explained to her that they take the pictures in a hotel room because it was cheaper and they could pay more to their models. He said it was difficult to book studios as they travel from city to city. This somehow made sense to Alice. The more they talked in his reassuring, friendly voice, the more she was interested. She asked what she should wear. He told her that something nice but subtle and sexy. They would be in her town in two weeks. He said it would probably take up to two hours to get all the pictures that they wanted. She set up an appointment with them.
As soon as Alice hung up the phone, she got scared and excited. What should she wear? Should she tell anyone that she was going to this 'modeling session'? Should she trust complete strangers that she only talked to on the phone? From a want ad? She went for a walk to calm her wild thoughts.
She put on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt with a sports bra underneath. The fresh air in her lungs helped to shake the jitters and clear her mind. Alice stopped in to the local grocery for a drink. She knew most of the clerks here being a small store that she frequented. "Hello, Mrs. Mussell. Here for a drink?" asked Tony. He was a muscled Italian kid, very good-looking.
"Yes, Tony. Doing my daily walk," Alice said.
"Well, it's sure keeping you fit and trim," Tony told her. She never knew anyone else noticed her body. She thought she was too old for anyone to be looking at her body. This remark gave her confidence. She gave him a big smile and he beamed back. Alice felt a tingle in her loins. But no, this boy was much too young for her to even fantasize about. She bought her bottle of water and looked around the store. Look at all of these sex-starved boys around her. She caught one or two looking for a glimpse of skin under her short shorts or glancing down at her ample chest. Perhaps I was right to sign up for this.
Alice spent the next two weeks fretting about her appointment. She began walking vigorously. She knew that two weeks wouldn't get her into top shape but every little bit didn't hurt. Then she went and window-shopped for just the right clothes. She had never noticed how horny men were before. Everywhere she looked, men were trying to check out her body. This is just what she needed to bolster her ego and quiet her fears. She even spent some of the money she expected when she found an outfit that looked just right on her. Alice even thought the saleswoman was checking her out when she tried it on.
The night before the appointment Alice could not sleep. She tossed and turned wondering what she had gotten herself into. Should she go? All of her newly gained self-confidence was going out the window. The doubts she had before were flooding back into her head. She had not told anyone what she was getting into. Alice decided to leave a note in case something bad happened. This comforted some of her worries and she fell asleep.

The next morning the alarm went off. Alice still felt tired but a confidence had come over her during the few hours of sleep she managed to get in. She showered and the warm water felt good over her body. She closed her eyes and began to feel herself. She rubbed her hands over her breasts and then slid them down her sides. She began to imagine when her husband was alive and what a miracle worker he was when it came to making her feel good. He gave the best massages. His fingers would lightly run up and down the length of her back. She remembered the tingle on her skin from where he touched. His hands would drift down to her ass and pussy. She moved her hand down to her pussy and felt the coarseness of her pubic hair. She ran her fingertips through the wet, slippery folds of her slit. Then Alice moved her hands around and squeezed her ass. The phone rang and startled her out of her trance. She let it ring. Alice was afraid to talk to anyone right now.
Alice put on her new outfit. Her hands shook. Was it fear or excitement? She wasn't sure but moved inexorably toward her appointment. Alice slipped on her silky new panties and a matching lacy bra that pushed up her breasts to enticing mounds. She then put on her new outfit and looked in the mirror at herself. Her hips curved out from the tight skirt. Her cleavage shown out of the plunging neckline. She had her silver hair done in a short bob that framed her face. Alice smiled at herself as she twisted and turned trying to see herself at all angles. She was ready to go.

Mark handed Alice a glass of ice water. She took a sip and looked up at him. He gave her a sympathetic smile. "Are you sure you're okay, Alice? We can cancel this if you want. We don't make anyone do what they are uncomfortable doing," he told her. Alice was breathing hard. She couldn't believe she had gone through with this. She had walked into a 'porno den'. "Mrs. Mussell? Do you still want to do this? We have a schedule to keep. I'm sorry." How could he be so nice? This was just a business to him. Alice took a deep breath and lifted her head.
