It happened the summer after I had just broken up with Bobby Durnham, my first ever boyfriend. It wasn't anyone's fault of course, just little things here and there that added up until we finally had to call it quits. He was a really nice guy, sweet to me, gentle and loving during sex. Maybe that was the problem.
One night, after drinking a bit too much in my sad apartment, I decided to apply to an intriguing ad someone had posted on an online forum dedicated to exhibitionism. Yeah, after the breakup, I was spending a lot of time on questionable websites.
This particular one was brief- they were looking for a young woman to pose for some nude sketches. An email was attached below and the pay was ridiculously good, so I, in my tipsy state, decided to go for it. I emailed back and 'John' gave me the address and time I could meet him.
The next morning, I realised how risky this scheme was, but God, there was something about it the danger in it that was really turning me on. I felt alive for the first time, so after sending my location to a few friends and giving them instructions to call me in an hour, I set out to the apartment.
It was a fancy upscale building and I felt a little out of place. It also seemed vaguely familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. I rang the doorbell before I could lose my nerve. The door opened and I gasped when I saw that it was Mr Durnham, Bobby's father!
He was tall, broad and intimidating, with dark brown curling hair, and a trimmed beard that was starting to show a hint of grey. His eyes were dark brown and stern and intense, and right now, I was the sole recipient of their laser focus.
"Lila?" he said. "I'm afraid Bobby doesn't live here, he stays with my ex-wife in California for the rest of the year."
"Oh-I, um, actually we broke up some time back," I stammered. "I'm sorry, this was a mistake-"
Mr Durnham continued to stare at me intensely. "Ah. You responded to my ad?"
I could feel my face flushing. God, what terrible luck, of all the people in the world, did it have to be my ex-boyfriend's father? And why was this starting to turn me on?
"Come in, then," he said and opened the door further. I gaped at him for a moment, and then went inside, as if pulled by an invisible string.
"I have some rules for this, of course," he continued, his face impassive. I drank in the sight of his apartment, all sleek lines and wood and luxury. A canvass stood in the center of the living room and a mat was placed some distance away from it.
"First, complete confidentiality, on my side and yours," he looked at me and raised his eyebrows. "Alright?"
"Um, yes Mr Durnham," I whispered.
"Call me Richard," he said. "Second, when the session starts, you must follow my every command to the letter." He pursed his lips. "I don't like to repeat myself. Is that understood?"
"Yes, Mr Durnham." He continued to look at me, his dark eyes glinting as he crossed his arms. "Yes, Richard," I whispered, feeling myself flush again. My nipples were tingling behind the thin shirt I had worn.
