Lillian felt great apprehension; she was blushing with shame and... and arousal.
"I ... I don't think that is necessary, I can handle myself at the photoshoot... "
"Nonsense, I have seen many girls that seemed more confident chicken out. If you don't comply with my request I won't book the studio."
Now Lillian knew she was trapped, she really needed the studio photos. So reluctantly she started to take off her shirt much to Karen's surprise.
For a moment Lillian looked at Megan like begging for mercy, but she only waited for the rest with her arms crossed.
Lillian bit her lower lip and took off her shorts revealing her hairless pussy.
"Wow!" said Megan who was devouring Lillian's body with her eyes, "You have a very beautiful pussy."
Lillian blushed, she had never felt so embarrassed in her life... or so horny. Out of social reflex she shyly said, "Thanks," but it was awkward to receive a compliment for her pussy and even more awkward coming from another woman.
She tried to cover her body with her discarded clothes but Megan said
"See, that is my point. You need to overcome your shyness. Are you sure you are ready for a studio session? Do you really want it? If you do, prove it, give me your clothes."
"Of course, no, I am not ready and I will never be," Lillian thought, "but I need it...," she reminded herself bitterly and reluctantly she handed her clothes to Megan.
Now Karen was really puzzled, and her face reflected both surprise and amusement, Lillian looked at Karen and felt more ashamed than ever in her life. For some reason, Karen's opinion of her was becoming more and more important, it was maybe because she was the only one that knew that all of this wasn't her choice, that she wasn't really like that, or it was maybe because nobody seem to give her much respect in the recent days, not at her miserable job where she was the lowest organism of the food chain and not certainly in the commutes where she was becoming an easy prey. So, of all the people with whom she had contact these days, Karen was the only one that knew the former Lillian, "The real Lillian," she corrected herself.
Megan was oblivious to all of that. She was very happy and said, "I got an idea, let me go for something from my room."
And with that, she marched running excitedly like a little girl with a new toy.
Karen turned to see Lillian, "What is this all about?"
Lillian was nervous and stammered her answer," I ... I am ac... acting my part... As I Promised you."
Karen arched her eyebrows.
"Yes, of course... but you seem really eager to get a studio session."
"No... is not like that... It is just an act... you know... as I promised you... I won't really do it ... "
"OK. Just let me tell you that this is not part of our deal, maybe Megan is going too far and you shouldn't feel obligated to be naked, you could be believable even if you back off. I can come with some excuse for Megan to leave you alone, you know. Tell her to give you some time."
"NO!" said Lillian with apprehension. She was thinking, "I need those studio photos now!" and then realized she had sounded too desperate and tried to tone down her answer, "I can be a good sport... You know... it will help me... you know... this 'make-believe' will help me to empathize in the interviews with you and to understand the position of a porno model."
"OK, if that is what you want... I will help you,"" said Karen that was intrigued and even more amused.
Just then Megan returned running. She was portraying an ear to ear smile and was still carrying Lillian's clothes much to Lillian's tranquility that had suspected that Megan would play a prank on her.
Cheerfully Megan grabbed Lillian's old canvas suitcase, opened it and put Lillian's clothes inside. Then she lifted the top of the wood trunk that they used as a coffee table. She put the suitcase inside and closed the lid giggling. Megan could not hide her excitement as she took a padlock from her jeans pocket and locked the trunk closed. She then tied a black strip around her neck and from it hung the padlock key.
Lillian felt a tightness in her stomach and was about to protest when Megan talked. She was enjoying every second as she said
"Listen Lilly, I think that you may succeed in the porno industry, you have a wonderful body and a pretty innocent face, but you really need to overcome your shyness, I have seen many photo shots ruined by the awkwardness of some models that could not overcome their shyness. A little bit of embarrassment is attractive as long as it doesn't ruin the poses. In other words, I understand that you feel embarrassment, and you don't need to fight that, but you must be able to pose and follow instructions in spite of that.
So here are your rules to help you overcome your shyness: I will open the padlock every morning, so you may dress for work but as soon as you arrive at the apartment, you have to take off your clothes and shoes, put them in the trunk, and close the padlock.
And Lillian, I am very serious about this. If Karen or I come to the apartment and see you dressed or the padlock is not properly closed, then the deal of the studio photo session is over. Got it?"
Lillian blushed bright red and nodded.
"Of course, if you have an appointment or something and need to dress again, you may ask any of us for permission."
She was overwhelmed by the situation. In just a few weeks she had completely lost control of her life, now to the point that she could not even have access to her clothes without permission. She was blushing red with shame and the worst part was that her very wet pussy and hard rock nipples, made impossible for her to hide her arousal.
Megan smiled satisfied at Lillian's body reactions but decided to give her a break before she backed down.
"Lillian, why don't you wash your hands and help us prepare dinner?"
Lillian was relieved to break the awkward moment and to have the chance to have a moment alone. It was just too much, she was emotionally drained and her pussy begged for attention. So in silence, she ran to the bathroom.
Once inside she tried to cool down, to put her mind in order, but just the image of the padlock key hanging from Megan's neck made her hornier by the minute.
She looked at her own image in the mirror and thought,
"What is happening to me? When did I change from a successful College student into a porno-model wannabe? I must stop this right now. I am not this kind of person, I am a feminist, a successful woman, not the horny high school dropout I am representing."
For a brief moment, her old self seemed to regain control and she was about to exit the bathroom to call it quits and reassert herself, but her self confidence was short-lived. The thought of failing her thesis came to mind. She could even be accused of academic fraud, after all, she showed pictures that she won't be able to prove portrait a real porno model, not to mention that she admitted fabricating the first interview, and her new interviews could be seen as fabricated too because she couldn't show the original recordings where she sounded disperse, unprofessional and even dumb.
A strong advance on her thesis could help her, but she knew she wouldn't have anything coherent by Friday when she planned to reunite with Ms. Barbara and renegotiate the deadlines. Her only way out seemed to drop her thesis and beg Ms. Barbara to not accuse her of academic fraud, and wait for a second chance in the next semester. That could work, she will lose her chance of a cum laude but what worried her most was that Ms. Barbara seemed so eager to discover academic fraud in her pupils. She seemed a bit desperate to justify herself in the eyes of the board and stop the rumors that she could have been a sloppy thesis counselor (or even a dishonest one) the previous year that didn't notice the signs of fraud of her pupil.
Still looking at the mirror, Lillian bitted her lower lip, "No. The less risky way is to obtain those studio photos. After that, I may drop the thesis if I want, but the risk of an academic fraud accusation will be a lot lower," After she admitted that there was no way out, she sighed and thought," I can go with this charade for a couple of days, it is no big deal and then I will have the studio photos and I will save my thesis and my scholarship and in no time I will return to my successful life. In a few weeks, this will be just a wild memory."
But just the thought of being naked all the time and under Megan's thumb was making her horny again.
"Maybe I should masturbate to calm myself a little bit."
But then there was a knock on the door
"Are you alright?" it was Megan's voice.
"Yes, wait a second."
"If you are alright, please hurry I need the bathroom," said Megan.
"Ok. Wait."
Lillian knew she simply didn't have time to masturbate and Megan could be hearing from the other side of the door and she would know immediately. The situation was already embarrassing enough without Megan knowing about her shameful arousal, so she simply dried her pussy as much as she could with toilet paper and washed her face trying to cool down.
She opened the door as Megan was knocking again.
She went to the kitchen and Karen, who was cooking dinner started directing her.
"Lilly Get some cheese from the refrigerator."
"Now bring some pasta. It is on that cabinet."
Lillian felt very self-conscious as she did the errands naked. She felt very exposed.
Karen was boiling some water for the pasta while Lillian was spreading some butter on bread slices when she felt a flash!
