'What was I thinking?' Louise thought holding up the red baby doll before her. The idea was a month old, a way of re-kindling her husband's passions for her, of showing her husband that Louise Chester was still a woman at fifty and a sexy one at that. Boudoir photographs, erotic yes, dirty surely not. They had been her best friend Carols idea. Louise had spent the afternoon bitching and moaning about her husband Mike with Carol throwing in her own thoughts before she finally gave her the idea.
Carol leaned in over her coffee and said, "Ever thought of some photographs for Mike?" Louise asked her what she meant by 'Photographs'. "Last year for Steve's fiftieth I went to a photographer and got him to do some Saucy photographs of me to give to Steve as his birthday present." The two women leaned and whispered over their Latte's as if they were conspirators in some great scheme.
"I don't know Carol, a man taking nude pictures of me. I think that would make Mike a little angry." Louise had never been one for nudity in any real form, once on a holiday in Spain they had ended up on a beach surrounded by topless women with no one caring but Carol the stoic British female she was, kept her breasts hidden beneath her bikini top.
Carol shook her head, "Not nude you dunce, erotic. You put on a little outfit and the guy shoots you in all these sexy poses. No nudity or if you like some nudity," Carol smirked when she said the last bit. Louise looked at her questioningly. "Look it was heat of the moment stuff, this guy was snapping away and one thing led to another and," she shrugged her shoulders.
"How much did you show?" Louise asked, shocked at this sudden confession.
"Just my tits Louise. Calm down the man was a professional and to be honest it was kind of hot you know, showing off to a stranger. Steve certainly enjoyed the photos." A smile creased her face as Carol remembered the afternoon she handed over the little leather bound portfolio to her husband a red gift bow stuck on the top corner.
"I don't know Carol it all seems a bit dirty." Louise's doubts kept piling up.
"Exactly my point. You want to get that spark back you are going to have to play dirty. Or at least show Mike you still know how to play dirty." Carol sat back. "If you want I can come along for moral support."
"I'll think about it, okay?" Louise said and moved the subject quickly on to the soap opera on the Television the other night.
Which was a month ago, give or take and here she now was in a little back room. Her short blonde hair teased to within an inch of its life and her face done up better than Louise could do it herself. The photographer had promised a professional shoot and so far he had been spot on with his small team of stylists. Now she had to dress. 'How can you dress in this, there is barely any material.' Her mind still fought against the whole idea, the red baby doll had seemed a good idea and hand picked by Carol no less.
Louise slipped it on the top barely covered her ample breasts. She was once a curvy 34D but pregnancy had changed those and the rest of her. Louise was now a 36D and with a little pot belly that her husband once adored. Curvy was what she was meant to call it, fat is what she really felt and unattractive. The front of the baby doll opened along the centre but was held in place by three red bows that she securely fastened before she slipped on the matching panties her dark blonde bush just visible. Lastly the red stockings slipped on over her legs. She felt silly and more naked than she had ever done in her life. "You ready in there?" Carol asked excitedly.
Carol beamed from ear to ear seeing her friend when she stepped out. The transformation was remarkable. Louise was dowdy and frumpy at the best of times more so next to the glamorous Carol but for the first time ever Carol felt a pang of jealousy towards her friend. Here was a woman of sexy curves a pity she didn't know how to use them. "You look fucking amazing Lou," Seeing the doubt on her friends face she continued, "seriously I have never seen you look so..." she hunted for the word, "so fucking sexy." Louise let out a laugh and Carol joined in helping her friend relax a bit more. Louise lowered her arms that she held across her body in a very defensive pose. Carol could not help but eye up her friends breasts. Louise was known for her heavy jumpers and seeing her almost naked was one thing but now seeing her breasts. Carol wondered why Mike was ever off those things.
"Are you ready?" The photographer asked as he approached fiddling with his camera, he stopped and looked up. Carol noticed it and wondered if Louise had too, he had stopped cold a sentence on his tongue lost when he saw Louise in her get up. He licked his lips gave a cough and diverted his eyes rapidly away from Louise's breasts. "Okay Louise you look stunning, this is going to be easy to shoot." He held out a hand that Louise took cautiously and let the photographer walk her over to the small set.
"So tell us Andy, shoot many yummy mummies?" Carol asked.
The photographer Andy laughed, "A few in my time," he was aware that Carol was trying her best to relax her friend and was willing to help as much as he could. A Cold model made for very cold shots. "But none anywhere near the class and look of Louise here."
Louise blushed at the words. Getting from the changing room to the set was one thing now Andy was preparing to shoot. She took deep breaths as he told her to just relax. She lay down across the white fur rug and stretched out awkwardly arms going up then down, legs doing the same. She looked like she was having a fit and felt like a right prat. The flash bulbs on either side of her went off suddenly. Andy smiled lowering his camera from his face. "Test shot Louise, see how painless it was." She smiled back still very unsure. "Think about it Louise I now have one image of you dressed in a seriously sexy outfit looking all shades of gorgeous. Why stop there?"
And with that she had no answer. He was right, one shot of her dressed like this was already on the camera and it had taken less than a second to do. He had not laughed at seeing her in fact she was pretty certain he had been surprised at how good she looked when he had approached her at the changing room. So what did she have to loose. Carol was here and the Photographer was not an idiot. She smiled and stretched out her legs placing one hand under her chin and the other behind her head.
