He recognised her the second she walked into his studio. It was the arrogant way she had of hold her head erect but at a slight angle, as though she was looking down at the rest of the world. She hadn't changed in the 8 or so years since he'd been at high school with her. That wasn't entirely true. She had changed. She looked even better now than she had then when all the kids at high school were trying to get into her panties.
Lucy was an athletic, attractive blonde, with smallish breasts and long slim legs. She had her hair cut almost to the shoulder in a bob and was smartly dressed in a very dark blue blouse and a pair of skin-tight faded jeans.
Somethings though hadn't changed though. She didn't know him from Jack shit although they'd gone to the same school on the same bus every day for six years.
'I Want to have some photo's taken. Of me.'
'Then you've come to the right place. I'm a photographer.'
True to form, she didn't even blink or give any kind of sign that had said anything untoward.
'What kind of photo's did you have in mind?'
'What do you mean?'
'Well, were you thinking of? A portrait, face-only, upper body, erotic ...'
Erotic. Sure thing! Although she was a prick-tease in the past, she never actually did anything with anyone. The rumours were that she was frigid - but that was probably just sour grapes.
'Oh. Well, I don't know. I guess my face and body. Clothed of course.'
'Fine. If you like, I can show you around the studio and I can also show you some photo's from my file if you like. Would you like a coffee?'
'Er, sure. Thank you. Yeah, I'd like to see the photo's.'
While he was making the coffee, an idea started form in his mind. When he was studying, he'd done a course on hypnosis and found that he was a natural talent. It was something that he'd developed as a hobby over the years and even used it on occasions to help people relax before they went in front of the camera. He had never abused this power but as he thought back to the way Lucy had treated him all those years ago, he thought that this might be his one chance for a bit of harmless fun.
Most people think that hypnotism requires golden medallions swinging on chains in front of someone's face, but this is not true. In fact, the whole aim is to get the subject to focus on what you are saying and doing until they start going into a kind of focal tunnel where their attention to their surroundings decreases until they enter a hypnotic state.
This was exactly what he had in mind as he sat down next to her and started talking her through the photo's in a calm and pleasant voice, not letting her interrupt him and gently taking her down the path ...
After two or three minutes, Lucy's eyes had taken on that slight glaze so characteristic of a hypnotic trance and he decided to see whether or not she was ready for the next stage.
'Lucy? How are you feeling?'
'Fine.'
'Are you relaxed?'
'Yes.'
'I would just like you to close your eyes for a moment and relax completely for me.'
Just as he had hoped, Lucy shut her eyes and slumped back in her chair.
'I am going to count to three. When I reach three, you will be wide awake again. When I say the word quantum, I want you to relax completely, stay wide awake and wait for me to tell you what to do. When you wake up, you will feel happy and relaxed. One ... two ... three ...'
Lucy opened her eyes and straightened herself in her chair.
'Oh, sorry about that, I was almost dropping off. Shall we get started?'
'Yes, of course. Why don't you go and sit on that chair in front of the backdrop while I set up the lighting.'
Lucy did as she was asked and he checked all of the settings.
'OK. So just try to relax and look up at the small blue light behind me in the corner. That's good. Just lift your jaw a little higher, turn your shoulder to me. Good.'
He continued in this vein for about 10 minutes, by which time he had completed the first roll of film.
'OK. Do you want to take a quick break?'
'Er. No, I'd rather get it over with if you don't mind.'
'No, not at all ... quantum.'
Lucy hardly reacted to his code word but her shoulders sagged slightly as she sank down a bit into the chair.
'It's quite warm in here isn't it. Why don't you undo a button or two of your blouse?'
Lucy reached up to her midnight-blue blouse and undid the first two buttons so that a hint of cleavage could now be seen.
'Are you still hot? Then undo another couple of buttons. There's no-one here to see you.'
Lucy's fingers reached up and undid the next two buttons to expose a plain black cotton bra. Click. Click. He continued taking photo's as she followed his instructions.
'It is really getting quite hot isn't it. I bet you're boiling under those warm lamps.'
'Actually I am really hot. Can I undo the rest of my buttons?'
'Yes, go ahead.'
She undid the rest of the buttons on her blouse so that a strip of her flat tummy could now be seen.
'Why don't you just go ahead and take of the blouse? There is no-one here but you and me and it is still very warm.'
She pulled the blouse out of her jeans and took it off before standing up and laying it over a nearby chair. He took another series of photo's.
'I tell you what, why don't you take off your trousers as well?'
