Photographer's Assistant (Closed for silkysylvia)

[Rocket1010]

View attachment 1643791 looked through the camera lens at the woman lying on a blanket in the sand with a scene of the ocean in the background. He saw the lighting umbrella needed to be changed and said "Kelsey please move the umbrella back about two feet." The girl lying on the towel said, "who are you talking too?"

"Ohhh sorry about that Amber. My assistant Kelsey quit this morning and I called her name out of habit." Kelsey had been with him for 10 years, when he first decided to do free lance and get out of the rat race. At 38 he enjoyed the freedom that came with free lancing and when word got out that he would photograph most anything, his list of clients grew. There were the school and family portraits but there were the highly erotic ones that paid good money. Kelsey had been a great help and sometimes joined in the photo shoots but when she met her current boyfriend who was a model, she stopped having an affair with Jack and the other clients. Now she had left and he had to do all the work until he could find a suitable replacement.

Jack walked to the woman wearing a small yellow bikini and thong that didn't cover much of her assets. Moving the umbrella, he looked at the background they were using. It was a large screen showing a large wave approaching the shore and seagulls flying overhead. It was one of many different scenes he used for these types of shoots. The young lady was an aspiring actress and needed portfolio photos to make the rounds of different studios. Her agent was a friend of Jack's and suggested she use him. They had already finished a few scenes with different backdrops and this was to be the last.

"Okay Amber give me a big smile," he asked. "Yea that's it .... keep that smile." Moving back and forth, he shot her from different angles. "Ok ... now I want you to sit up, put your knees up to your chest and wrap your arms around your legs." He waited while she changed positions, noticing the ample bosom spilling out of the tiny bikini top.

Putting down his camera, he moved the lighting umbrellas while using his light meter to adjust the illumination. He swore under his breath that he needed another assistant. As he moved the equipment, he thought about Kelsey, the young assistant, who informed him that morning that she was quitting to move out of town with her boyfriend. "She could have at least given me a bit more notice," he mumbled as he moved a large fan into position.

"Alright Amber, remember it is a hot summer day and you are enjoying your day at the beach. The wind has picked up and I want you to put your chin up like you are enjoying the feel of the hot breeze. I want you to look straight ahead and then at the camera and when you do, give me a nice sexy smile." Jack turned the fan on high watching how the air moved her hair. "Stay right like you are," he said approaching her. Pulling some of the strands that were caught between her arm and breast, he let them go watching them fly behind her. "Ok here we go," he announced taking a series of shots.

He had her lean back on her hands, pushing her ample breasts out as if she was sunning herself. The wind whipped her long brown hair as he kneeled and took more photos of the young vixen. "Look at the camera and give me a sexy pout ..... mmmm that's right purse your lips a little more ..... yea that's good. Amber close your legs," he said seeing the outline of her lips pressing against the thin fabric. She did as he asked and Jack began snapping a series of pictures. When he had taken more than enough photos, he told her they were done and he would send the photos to her for her and her agent to review.

"Ummm .... do you take any other kind of photos?" she asked as she stood up and put on a long white robe.

Jack knew exactly what she was getting at with the question. "I'm a free lance photographer so I take all sorts of different types of photos," he answered. "Do you have any particular kind in mind?"

She looked at him and smiled. "Well I was wondering about some .... ummmmm .... you know ..... naked pictures."

Jack smiled at her. "Yes I do those types of erotic photos. Are you interested in making an appointment?"

"What about now," she asked with a sly sensual laugh.

"I can't now Amber. I have work to do that is usually done by my assistant and I have another appointment for a portrait in thirty minutes. Why don't you make an appointment. Say next Tuesday at 10 O'clock? And then I'll take those photos you want."

"I guess it will have to wait," she said pouting and disappointed. She let out a soft chuckle. "Hmmm you won't regret it Jack." Walking to him she gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for the photo shoot today. I have a feeling they are going to be really good."

"Thanks Amber," he replied, turning his attention to fixing up the set for the next appointment.

Finishing the set up, he sat at his computer looking at the advertisement he was going to send out to local newspapers and several on-site photography sites.

Rachel's search for work - Answering the Advertisement

http://s8.favim.com/orig/72/australia-beautiful-beauty-cool-Favim.com-743022.jpg

Rachel Ranford
23 years old
recent college grad

Rachel Ranford couldn't believe how hard it was to find a job. The recent college graduate thought for sure with her grades and the university she attended would be more than enough to land her a decent job right after graduation. How wrong she was.

Working at the Applebee's was certainly below her level and not that she thought highly of herself or was a snob in any way, it's just that she had such high expectations. She had passed up so many opportunities in college to party like the rest of the students, never got involved in any of the clubs nor dated much since she left her home town to dorm on the campus.

She relished the fact that she would be far from home and that she finally had a chance to be on her own. Well, living with a roommate to begin with before getting her own place in the middle of junior year. Not having a boyfriend let her plenty of time to concentrate on her grades and her waitress job. In fact, she only had been in one long-term relationship and that was with Brad. She wasn't a virgin per se, but she might as well could've been one since her and Brad only had sex a handful of times and there was nothing to write home about in that department. She couldn't understand all the fuss about sex, that's another reason why she poured herself into her studies.

Then there was her mother who was a wreck when her dad left them when she was a young girl. Rachel never had a father figure in her life and always took care of her mother even at a young age. Her mom sought counseling and was getting better which made it easier for Rachel to go away to college. Rachel embraced her new found freedom when she went off to college although she kept to herself most of the time.

Now, Rachel was a beautiful girl if you looked past the way she dressed. Not that she dressed poorly, but she never dressed to accentuate her assets. At 5'8" tall, 120 lbs with long brunette hair past her shoulders and stunning blue eyes, she was a natural beauty. Rachel's body was never shown off as she was a modest young lady. Her 34C chest and 24 inch waist was would be envied by any aspiring model. Rachel got plenty of comments about her pear shaped butt which she unknowingly displayed by wearing tight fitting jeans most of the time.

Rachel was becoming frustrated not only from her lack of a sex life, but also her futile attempts to find gainful employment. She raised the cup of hot coffee to her lips and tapped the computer screen and scanned the job sites. Same old thing, lots of financial jobs and marketing and then one struck her instantly. A job calling for a photographer's assistant. Rachel had always loved photography and was actually in a photography club in high school. her teacher said she had such a knack and a very creative mind when it came to photography. This had to be worth a shot Rachel thought to herself.

She grabbed her cell and dialed the number on the screen......

Rachel's heartbeat quickened as the phone began to ring......then suddenly there was a deep voice answering, "Hello, Carlson Studio...Jack speaking.'

Rachel hesitated for a second before uttering, "hi, I saw the ad on the website for a photographer's assistant. I was wondering if the job was still available?"

 

[Rocket1010]

Everyday Jack checked his e-mail and phone voice mail to see if there was any interest in his job posting for an assistant. The first day there was nothing and he expected that since the ad was just posted. But then on the next day, the phone started to ring off the hook. He was impressed at first, with the number of responses. If he liked the sound of their voice and they could give him a good reason as to why they want to be his assistant, he would invite them to an interview. The calls from men and women alike ranged from young college students to older persons just looking for work. One thing that all of them seemed to have in common; they all thought they could do the job. While the job was not strenuous or demanding, he hoped to find someone who had some knowledge of photography even though he said in the ad that he would teach them.

There were a few candidates he invited for a personal interview but not one of them seemed to have what he was looking for, someone fresh and eager to learn the business. Some of the young men were overly anxious when he spoke of doing nude shots and he automatically checked them off the list. Some women who seemed to be a good candidate balked at having to be around people prancing around with no clothes when he brought up the subject in describing the job. As the week wore on, he wondered if he would find that special person. Some of the interviewees were very good candidates but for one reason or another he was hesitant to offer them the position.

He was working on some portrait photos, adjusting the lighting and colors to bring out the richness of the subject. The photo was of Amber, the aspiring actress, who only a few days ago sat for him in a sexy yellow string bikini and thong that barely hid any of her womanly charms. He smiled at the radiant smile staring at him from the computer screen. She made it clear that if he took some nude photos of her, she would make it worth his while. He wasn't sure that he wanted anything sexually from her but that decision would be made when she showed up for her scheduled appointment. Using the tools available to him, he was able to erase the erect nipples poking through the thin yellow bikini. For a moment he wondered how they would feel in his hands and caught between his lips while his tongue flicked teasingly over them.

Jack was lost for a moment in this fantasy when he heard the sound of his phone. Looking at the screen, he saw it was a local number and wondered if it was another prospective assistant. Picking up the phone, he smiled as he announced, "Hello, Carlson Studio .... Jack speaking."

There was no sound for a few moments and then he heard the soft feminine voice in his ear. "Hi, I saw the ad on the website for a photographer's assistant. I was wondering if the job was still available?"

Jack answered her question. "I do have a few candidates for the position but I have not made a decision yet." He listened to her breathing, hearing a soft "Ohhh," from her. "But I am interested in looking at all the potential candidates," he said. "What is your name if I may ask?"

"Rachel .... ahhh ... Rachel Ranford."

"Well Rachel I'm looking to fill this position as soon as possible. I have had a lot of calls but I haven't made a decision yet. I do have an opening this afternoon at 4 if you are available. But before we get ahead of ourselves, can you give me some background on yourself ..... do you know anything about photography? ..... Are you willing to travel? .... sometimes at a moments notice. As the ad stated, it is not essential but I would like to find out if you have any experience. Also as I said, I am looking to fill the position as soon as possible and I would prefer the successful person to be able to start right away.

Jack held the phone against his ear, waiting for the sound of her voice.

 

[silkysylvia]

Phone interview with Mr. Carlson

"Ohhhh" slipped from my lips as I your telling me that you had quite a few calls about the job registered in my brain. As you went on I felt like there was no way I was going to get this job. Then you asked me my name.

"Rachel .... ahhh ... Rachel Ranford."

I don't know why I was overcome by nerves that I could barely speak. You proceeded to tell me about the requirements of the position and that gave me time to compose myself. Your voice was very hypnotic, sexy almost. God, what was I thinking. So, I took a deep breath then replied,

"well, I was in a photography club in my junior and senior years in high school and my teacher said that I had a knack for photography. He liked how I was able to capture light and shadows and he was especially fond of my work with people. You know, portrait shots and the like. As far as travel, I would love to as I am not tied down to anything or anyone at the moment. I'm single so I don't have to worry about a husband or anything like that."

I felt like I was rambling on and on, but I really wanted this job. Working at Applebee's wasn't exactly what I was aspiring to.

I continued,

"I really want this job, and I know that I would be a wonderful assistant. Please give me a chance? Maybe I can come in and we can talk further."

God, I can't believe I was begging. But hey, if it gets me in the door...

 

[Rocket1010]

I listened to your soft velvety voice tell me how you had some background in photography. You knew some of the words ... capture light and shadows ..... that struck my interest that you knew a little about my profession. And when you told me about being able to work with people, I smiled into my phone. That said a lot about my profession, working with different kinds of people .... some easy going and others hard and demanding.

I was also intrigued when you mentioned you were single and I didn't have to worry about a husband or anything like that. Some of the persons I had already interviewed had relationships. I didn't feel real comfortable with them knowing they could balk at leaving on moment's notice for a photo shoot. That is how I lost Kelsey my assistant for 10 years when she met a guy and now they were moving out of state.

One thing I learned early on was if you kept quiet, the other person tended to continue talking. I learned more that way since it is against the law to interview someone and ask certain questions. But you were telling me what I needed to know without me having to ask.

I was about to say something when I heard you say, "I really want this job, and I know that I would be a wonderful assistant. Please give me a chance? Maybe I can come in and we can talk further."

I was impressed by your voice and your background. While there was no really world experience, you had more than anyone I had interviewed so far. But I was not about to let on as I replied, "As I said Ms. Ranford .... I have an opening at 4 pm this afternoon if you are available."

I heard silence for a moment and then your sweet voice said, "I can be at your studio this afternoon."

"Great ... I'll see you at 4 then," I replied then hanging up.

I spent the rest of day getting ready for a portrait shooting at 3 and in between interviewing a couple of more prospective assistants. But as I interviewed them, my mind kept slipping back to our phone conversation. I wondered if your looks would match your voice .... a voice that seemed almost hypnotic.

Cleaning up from the high school photo shoot, I looked at my watch, seeing that it was 3:50. I got things put away and was on my computer, fixing some photos when I heard the front door bell ring signaling some ones arrival. 'That should be Rachel,' I thought as I went to the front of the studio.

 

[silkysylvia]

Meeting my future boss

After pleading for Mr. Carlson to let me have a chance at the job, I heard in his voice that perhaps he already had someone in mind. His voice was very hypnotic, entrancing actually so when he said that there was an opening at 4:00 pm today, I knew that this would be my best chance and not to pass up the opportunity to at least meet the man behind this sexy voice.

"I can be at your studio this afternoon."

Rachel, what are you thinking? You are going for a job interview, not a boyfriend.

I didn't know what had come over me during this phone conversation/interview but I felt alive and good about myself. What was I going to wear? I had the perfect outfit. Not too revealing, not too casual. this should do the trick.

I showered and put on my makeup then got dressed. I headed out of the apartment and jumped into my beat up Camry and headed off to Carlson Studio. It was only a 15 minute drive and my mind flitted back and forth between excitement about this new job and anxiety about not getting it. My heart was racing as I parked in the lot.

The studio was nestled between a liquor store and a check cashing place in a medium-sized strip mall. I stepped onto the asphalt and walked to the front door. The sun was still strong as the glare off the window reminded me, making me notice my perspiration. Oh my god, you have to relax Rachel I told myself over and over as I pushed the door open and that familiar sound of a shop's front door bell rung to alert Mr. Carlson that I was there.

As I stood waiting, I looked around at the portraits on the walls and then at the beaded curtain behind the desk. This certainly looked like a legitimate business. As I studied a particular portrait of a pretty young model dressed rather risque, I heard the beads brush against each other as Mr. Carlson emerged. My heart stopped and I'm sure my jaw dropped as well as I set eyes on a most gorgeous man I have ever seen. I think I wanted this job more than I ever thought I would want one.

 

[Rocket1010]

I was hoping that this new interviewee would be better than the last one. Earlier I had interviewed a young woman who seemed to be a perfect fit. Everything was progressing well until I started asking her if she minded nude photography. It was becoming a bigger part of my business and some of the talent agents were sending their clients to me. They knew I had discretion and the photos I took of their clients were not to be made public. The young woman balked at the notion of taking photos of naked men and women, telling me she wasn't comfortable being around naked people. That was the end of the interview and I was growing a bit exasperated with the applicants. It seemed that I would never find the right person.

When I walked through the beaded doorway, I saw you looking at one of the more risqué photos I had on the lobby walls. The young woman wearing a red corset, red nylons, and red stiletto heels was leaning up against a brick wall. The lighting was low and the shadows along with the black lace waist coat covered all the appropriate features. She had a sensual smile and her arm was bent in front of her and she had a finger pressed against her lips as if telling the observer to be quiet. I liked the photo as it conjured up some mystery, leaving the observer to draw their own conclusions as to what she was thinking.

I smiled when your eyes met mine and then I saw them shift downward onto my black t-shirt and then to my well faded jeans. While your eyes were exploring, mine too took in the modest white loose fitting blouse that did little to hide the two mounds underneath in the black bra. My eyes traveled downward to the skin tight pants that showed off your long legs.

"Hi you must be Rachel," I said extending my hand, taking your hand into mine. My other hand covered your hand too and I marveled at how soft your hands felt in mine. "I'm Jack and it is a pleasure to meet you Rachel. Why don't we go back into my studio and we can chat a little about the job and what I expect?" I felt an instant liking for you and wondered if you were going to be a winner or bust. I certainly was hoping that you were the one after so many disappointments with past applicants.

We walked though the beaded opening into a small office with several computers and cameras. "This is where I do my editing," I said as I saw your eyes scan the contents. "And back here is where we do the photo shots,"

I stood next to you as you surveyed the areas, and . "So what do think of my set up Rachel?"

 

[silkysylvia]

Carlson Studio - The Interview

I must have looked like a complete idiot standing there speechless and glassy eyed like a deer in the headlights. He was so damn sexy I thought to myself. Oh, and the way he grabbed my hand and covered my cold tiny hand between his large, warm ones sent a shiver through my entire body. I think I was getting excited instantly.

I finally responded rather weakly, "Yes. I am Rachel." Yes Rachel, you are definitely not getting this job the way you are acting. Why are you so nervous I asked myself. I immediately answered, because this guy is really hot.

I let you lead me to the back rooms beyond the beaded curtain and wondered if he was going to kill me. I didn't know anything about him. I should have done a background check. Duh! And now I was going to die in the back of a photography studio and no one will ever find me.

But there they were, two setups in this very large room with his computer setup also for editing like he said. The studio was set up like a professional photography studio with all the equipment and lighting. I let out a soft sigh as my fears were alleviated; at least for the moment. I then saw a door between the two photo setups and wondered what would be in there.

My thoughts were interrupted when you had asked my opinion about your setup.

"It looks very professional. I haven't been involved in photography for a few years since my high school club but not much has changed really. maybe the software programs for editing and such, but I can learn them quickly and if you aren't up-to-date on the newest versions or new technology, I can surely get you up to the present. I'm a quick learner."

Wow, my nervousness surely came out when I started talking and wasn't able to stop. I really wanted this job. I hope I didn't offend him with my comment about getting up to date with the newest technology and such. OMG! Plus, he's so freaking hot I would love to work next to him all day long.

 

[Rocket1010]

I stood next to you, waiting for you to answer my question, watching as your eyes took in the two different photo sets ready for clients. But I was also looking at your long hair cascading over your shoulders and smelling the sweetness of your perfume. You definitely had the looks and for a brief instant wondered if you had done any modeling. I saw your eyes seemingly to linger on the door between the sets. I was not about to tell you what was behind the door, at least not just yet.

Through the door, was a soundproof room and another setup with a different twist. The furniture inside the room included a large king sized bed, leather sofa, some leather chairs, and other sexual fixtures along with video equipment. I had been approached by a client who wanted a place to shoot certain risqué still photos and videos. The client paid me well for this work and it was something I came to enjoy. My past assistant, Kelsey, and I would video men and women and sometimes combinations along with group sex scenes. Kelsey sometimes joined them and once in a while they coerced me to join in. Afterwards I would splice the different camera videos together for my clients to use. I had not shown this room to any of the other interviewees, figuring there would be a time in the future with the right assistant to show them. Right now I was more concerned with the sexy woman standing next to me, beginning to speak.

I listened to you tell me how professional the studio looked and I forgot about all the other people I had interviewed. I watched your facial expressions as you spoke and for a brief instant wondered what it would feel like to kiss your lips. I admonished myself quickly, 'what the hell are you thinking .... you just met this woman and you're thinking of kissing her.' Turning my attention to you, I couldn't help but let out a chuckle when you alluded to not being up-to-date on the newest software programs.

"I'm pretty sure I'm up to date with the latest equipment and software Rachel," I said smiling. I saw your nervousness and it was expected in an initial interview. "But I'm glad to hear that you're a quick learner. That is a good trait to have in my business."

I was pretty sure I was going to offer you the position. Yea, I had a couple of woman that had more experience but they were missing something that kept me from offering them the job. I was a firm believer that you had to have a good gut feeling when hiring someone besides that person having all the credentials. With you, I had a good feeling that you were the one that I was looking for. I liked the way your eyes sparkled, your enthusiasm for photography and I had a feeling all my clients would like you. I was sure that once you started work, if you accepted, the nervousness would quickly dissipate.

There was one thing that I needed to know before I could offer you the position. Turning to you, I looked in your eyes and scanned your face as I said, "Rachel I do all sorts of different photos shoots here and on location. Some of my work includes high school senior pictures, engagement and anniversary portraits. I don't do weddings. I don't like to tie up my weekends with those since I do have some clients that want me to travel. You indicated you don't have a husband or boyfriend and have no problem traveling and that is a real plus. But there are certain shoots that I do that may not appeal to you."

I stopped, staring into your sparkling eyes trying hard to know what your answer would be to my next question. "I have ..... let's say certain clients that want photos and videos of a more risqué type. The type you were looking at in the lobby and some much more risqué. They include partially and sometimes total nudity. Does that bother you if we take photos like that?"

 

[silkysylvia]

Carlson Studio - The Interviews Continues

When you had replied that you were up-to-date I realized that my remark probably cost me the job and my heart sank. Then you continued on how you liked my qualities. I sure liked your qualities I said to myself. God you are so good looking!

You got close and your adoring eyes were staring straight into mine that it almost made me melt right then and there. You were mentioning all sorts of shoots that you do which were all pretty standard I would think but when you mentioned you didn't do weddings, I was taken aback just a bit but then relieved that my weekends would probably be free. Although, what was the use when I didn't even have a boyfriend to spend them with. Then there was the 'catch'. Certain shoots that may not appeal to me?

I stood motionless as I waited for the bomb to drop but when you said it involved nude shots, in my mind I let out a huge sigh of relief. Thinking that nude shots, if done with taste and artistic expression, were no problem at all. It wasn't like I was going to have to pose nude or anything like that.

I took a few seconds to gather my response before answering. "I don't think that would be a problem at all." Although I had a few reservations about the job after what you had just mentioned, I wanted this job. And to work closely with probably the sexiest man alive, I'd be crazy not to.

 

[Rocket1010]

There was an awkward moment of silence as I waited for you to answer my question. I could see you mulling the question over in your mind and I wondered if you would say no. I certainly hoped you would say yes. I had a few interviewees who I would have hired but they didn't like the idea of nudity photography. If they didn't like nudity, they would not like my other side business.

But here in front of me, I saw a gorgeous young woman who fit the bill and now the only thing between me offering you the position was your answer. I also noticed your photogenic smile and wondered if you had ever had some professional pictures taken. When you looked into my eyes and smiled my heart leapt. You said the magic words, "I don't think that would be a problem at all."

There was no mistaking my smile as I looked into your sparkling eyes. "That's good to hear Rachel," I said with some relief. I felt the search was over and now it was just a matter of getting you to say yes. "Rachel I would like to offer you the position. I am prepared to offer you $20 per hour to start and with the possibility of earning bonuses. I can't offer insurance until you have been here 90 days. Sorry but that is what my insurance company tells me. So what do you think and when can you start?"

I held my breath as I waited to hear your answer.

 

[silkysylvia]

Carlson Studio - Accepting the offer

As I looked into those sexy eyes I couldn't believe what I was hearing. $20 and hour?! Bonuses?! I was in heaven. Not only was I going to work alongside this gorgeous hunk, but I was going to get paid more than twice what I was making as a waitress and a bonus! I didn't really care about the insurance that much. There was a shrieking squeal inside my head and I hope it wasn't too obvious on my face how excited I was. My eyes started to take in your physique as you continued on. You have some body.

"I will have to let the restaurant know but I'm sure if they can get someone to cover for me, I can start in a day or two. I'll call you."

You were so dreamy to look at as I stood there that I let out a low, long sigh. It will be such a relief to get out of that waitress job and working a real job. No more long shifts on my feet, carrying those heavy trays and listening to rude customers complaining about the food or the service.

Yes, this was going to be heaven indeed.

 

[Rocket1010]

I saw your dark exotic eyes scanning my face as if you couldn't believe what I was offering. I held my breath hoping your answer would be yes. I knew the answer when your lips curled into a broad smile and you told me you would have to let the restaurant know you were leaving.

My heart skipped a beat as I again took in your body, knowing it was going to be fun having you working next to me. Your eyes were hypnotic as I rubbed my chin as if thinking and then said, "So you think you can start in a day or two Rachel. I think that would be good and if you can see your way to start tomorrow, I could really use around here."

I took your hand in mine and again felt the warmness as I smiled. I wanted to tell you how great you looked but instead said, "Welcome aboard Rachel. I think you are going to fit in very well."

I was about to escort you to the front door when the tiny bells announced a visitor. Looking at my watch, I murmured, "that must be Bob and Julie Patterson. I am supposed to do some engagement photos for them."

The young couple called out and then Bob poked his head through the beads. "Anyone here?"

"Yea back here. Come on back.," I said looking at you.

I saw your head turn to look at the young couple walking into the studio as Julie looked you over and said, "I know we're early but if this is not a good time we can come back."

"Hey no problem at all Julie. This is Rachel my new assistant. The two stages are set. Why don't you go over there and we'll get started pretty quick." I looked at you. "Why don't you stay and help me out with this shoot. That is if you don't have to be anywhere soon." I had everything set for the pictures but I wanted an excuse to have you stay a bit longer.

 

[silkysylvia]

Carlson Studio - Starting Right Away

A shiver ran through my body as you took my hand in yours. Yours was so smooth and warm I started to imagine them on my body, touching and caressing me. My imagination was starting to get the best of me when the door chimes snapped me back to the present.

You instructed the clients to come to the studio and I turned to see who they were. They pushed through the beads and when they were inside the studio, I could see that they weren't much older than me, perhaps even he same age. He wasn't bad looking but had a better body than looks. She, on the other hand was quite beautiful. She mentioned about interrupting something and I wondered what she meant, but you had squashed that real quick and I was introduced to the young couple and shook their hands.

You whispered to me and asked if I could stay and help out and being that I really didn't have to be anywhere until 5 for my shift, and hopefully last shift at the restaurant, I turned. When I turned, our faces were just inches apart. Being so close made my heartbeat quicken and my body flush with arousal. My eyes drifted to your mouth, then up to your eyes as I gathered my wits and responded,

"I can stay, sure. But I have to leave by 4."

I stood there as you smiled, your left hand had gone to my hip. How, and when, did he actually place it there I wondered?

 

[Rocket1010]

I felt a thrill go through me when you said you could stay until 4 o'clock. Though we had just met, I felt a connection. Looking at me watch, I saw that we had about 30 minutes before you had to leave. When I glanced back at you, our faces were a mere inches apart. I felt a urge to lean closer and kiss your soft lips as I saw your eyes roaming over my face.

'Get a hold of yourself Jack. She is your new assistant and not your girlfriend,' I admonished myself. I'm sure the look on my face gave me away as I quickly turned my attention to the newly engaged couple, my hand slipping to your hip and then to the small of your back.

My hand felt good on your back as I commented, "We don't want to keep them waiting. I need you to move the lights when I tell you." I looked at you and smiled, admiring you as we began to walk to the couple, glad that you had applied for the job.

"Ok Bob and Julie I want to start with some swing shots. Julie you sit on the swing and Bob you get behind her and hold onto the ropes as if you are going to push her." When they got into position, I looked at you, seeing you standing by the lighting tripod. "Bob lean over her shoulder as if you are telling her a secret and make her smile. Rachel, move the light so it is off to the side in front of them and then adjust the shade toward them."

I watched you move gracefully and quickly, following my orders. I only had 30 minutes of your help and I was already seeing the benefits of hiring you on the spot. I had a good feeling as I began to snap photos, knowing that I would hate seeing you leave in just a few short minutes.

Carlson Studio - My First Assignment

It was amazing how comfortable I felt right off the bat and that starting, even for just a little under an hour, was like I was working there for weeks already. You made me feel quite comfortable and I just did everything you asked without hesitation. Moving the lights, adjusting the shade, moving about the studio.

As I went about following your instructions, I kept trying to sneak glances at you. trying to burn an image of that sexy face into my brain. It seemed that every time I tried to look at you, you were looking at me. And every time you would flash me that knee-weakening smile. It was almost flirtatious in a way. Well, whatever it was, it sure was making me warm between my legs.

I then turned to the couple and saw that they seemed so compatible together. He seemed to genuinely love his fiance and she him. Her beauty was so natural I couldn't help but stare. She actually caught me looking a few times and smiled. One time she even winked at me making me blush. This was definitely a little awkward, but I really mustn't stare at the clients.

It was time for me to leave so I waited for a break to tell you that I had to go. I thanked you and told Bod and Julie that it was nice to meet them but I had to go.

 

[Rocket1010]

While I instructed Bob and Julie to move into different positions, I marveled at how you seemed to be a natural at this business. Each time you followed directions to move the lighting tripods, or adjust the shades, you glanced back at me. I noticed a small smile on you lips and I wonder if you are looking to me for approval. You definitely had my approval for more than your work. More than once I see your eyes linger as did mine, returning your smile but also taking in shape of your slender body, wondering how it would feel to be in my arms.

I knew you had to leave soon and I grew disappointed. I am feeling great, lucky to have found someone so soon that picked up the work so quickly. I walked closer to the young couple who had smiles on their faces that could not be wiped off. It was obvious they were in love, drinking in each precious moment they had together. "Ok Julie I want you to lean back just a bit and Bob you kiss her on the cheek." They did as I instructed and after snapping a few close-up shots, I saw you staring at me.

I wondered what it would be like to kiss your cheek as I told them we were done with the swing, instructing the lovebirds to move to the stool.

Looking at my watch, I was disappointed to see it was time for you to leave. When you thanked me for the opportunity, I smiled, "I am looking forward to seeing you soon Rachel." I stood in front of you, wishing you didn't have to leave. I felt a connection in just the short time we knew each other and I fought the impulse to reach out and take you into my arms.

I could feel the eyes of Bob and Julie on us as I walked you to the front of the studio. "I'll be waiting for your call Rachel and I hope you can find a way to start tomorrow." You nodded and then you were gone.

Returning to the young couple, they were all smiles asking me why you had to leave. I told them I had just hired you that day. "Boy she sure seems to know what she is doing," Julie mentioned as I got them into their next pose.

"Yea she has a lot going for her," I said wondering when I would see you next. I was hoping it would be tomorrow. Amber was coming back in for some risqué photos and I wanted you to see another side of my business.

Monday Afternoon - Leaving the studio

As I left through the beaded curtain and out the front door, a huge grin formed on my face as I was so excited to get the job. Not only was the pay great, but my boss was such a hunk! I took a few deep breaths and swatted at my face to get some fresh air before I overheated thinking about how it felt when you grabbed my hands.

I hurriedly walked to my car and drove to the restaurant, my heart thumping in my chest from both nerves about quitting my job and also excited about my new one. I don't know if I can start tomorrow but we will see what my old boss will say when I tell him that I'm leaving. It's early in the week so he should be able to get by if he decides that I shouldn't come in to work anymore.

There were so many spots available in the parking lot that I didn't have to park far. I got out of the car and walked into the restaurant and saw my boss talking to some of the waitresses. He was such a slime ball, I couldn't wait to get out of there. He just creeps me out. I feel like he stares at me and all the other girls all the time.

So I managed to ask if I could speak to him in private and he had that annoyed look to him that I just wanted to say,

you know what? Fuck you, I quit!

but being the nice person and good girl that I am, I waited until he pulled himself away from his little bevy and gave me his time.

He didn't seem to happy when I told him I was leaving but his remark was such an asshole remark that I shouldn't have expected anything else from him. He told me that I didn't have to work that night or any of the scheduled nights as it was going to be quiet anyway and that he could find someone to replace me like that as he snapped his fingers. Whatta dick!

I couldn't wait to call you up and tell that I was going to be in tomorrow. I was practically floating on air. I was getting away from such a shithead for a boss and going to work for a dreamy hunk. I stopped at the Thai restaurant and got some takeout and headed home to celebrate all by myself.

It was starting to get dark when I got to the apartment so I changed into my comfy pajamas, prepared my dinner by taking the food out of their containers and put upon my plate. I took the half bottle of wine from the fridge, a glass and some paper towels and settled n the floor.

I picked p my phone and called you to tell you that I could start tomorrow and you sounded so excited that it made me start to think about you in a more intimate manner. Your telephone voice was so sexy. I don't know how I missed that when I called you yesterday. I was so fidgety as you talked about how you were excited fr me to start tomorrow and that you think I am going to make a great assistant, etc. In fact, I was starting to get aroused just from the sound of your voice that I pushed my free hand down between my legs after grabbing the bottom of the tee. My fingers started to rub myself softly as I pictured your handsome face, your soft, strong hands on mine and your deep sexy voice.

After I hung up I kept on replaying the conversation in my head just to hold that impression of your voice. I placed the phone of the floor beside me and bit my lower lip as I started to lean back and lie on the floor. I stared at the ceiling as my fingers slowly rubbed my covered pussy through my shorts. I was getting lost in the vision of you and I with me being on the swing set and you whispering in my ear, your arms wrapped around my waist, my face tilted back and gazing up at you awaiting your kiss.

My eyes stared at your lips for what seemed like an eternity as my fingers picked up the pace of rubbing my throbbing clit. My legs spread open as I closed my eyes as I imagined your hand, your fingers touching me. My lips were so dry that I licked them repeatedly as I felt my orgasm approaching. Lying on the floor with my legs bent, my hand between my legs I started to moan louder as the wave was washing over my entire body. In my mind our lips brushed and I exploded into orgasm, writhing and squirming on the floor, my back arching as my ass lifted off the floor.

As my orgasm subsided, I felt guilty that I chastised myself and said out loud to myself,

"This is why you need to find a boyfriend."

I stared at the delicious food getting cold and lifted it to my lap. I grabbed the glass of wine which was getting warm and took as big sip.

"To my new job!" raising the glass to no one in particular.

Tomorrow was the start of a new life Rachel!

 

[Rocket1010]

I was disappointed you had to leave but I understood you had to tell your current employer you were leaving. I know how hard it can be to tell someone they are leaving. I had seen the pain on Kelsey's face when she told me she was leaving because her boyfriend had a great opportunity for a new job. I hoped everything was going good you and I was hoping you would call soon.

Going back to the studio, I took more pictures of Bob and Julie on the stool and then had them stand in various positions. It was taking a bit longer to finish the shots since I had to do all lighting changes and helping them straighten their clothes to take out the wrinkles. But it was finally done and I immersed myself with downloading the photos and arranging them in certain sequences. All the while my thoughts were on you and that sexy face and body.

The clothes you wore covered up much of your body but I could tell there was a killer physique underneath. I wondered what you would wear when you started and I hoped it would be tomorrow. Trying to finish my work with Bob and Julie's pictures, I kept looking at my cell phone on the table beside me, wishing it would ring but it didn't and I left the office wondering when you would call.

I looked at my BMW and smiled. I loved the car, using it on days when I would be in the office all day or for personal trips. I also had a Ford Explorer SUV that I used to haul my equipment to various sites. That vehicle was parked in a garage built on to the back of the studio. Driving to my apartment I continued to think about you and the way we looked at each other. I knew there was a spark between us and I found myself thinking of when you left and the thought of kissing you. I kept telling myself that I had just met you and I needed to focus on a employer/employee relationship. But the vision of us kissing kept creeping into my brain.

Arriving at my condo, I noticed the sun beginning to dip below the horizon. I cooked some vegetables and grilled a salmon for supper, while I sipped on a glass of Merlot. The whole time, glancing at my phone, wondering when you were going to call. Taking my food to the balcony, I sat watching the sun disappear.

Most people wondered how, as a photographer, I could afford such an expensive car and a fancy condo which overlooked a wide river and the distant mountains. I simply told them the fashion photography I did paid very nicely. While fashion shoots were lucrative, they were nothing like the photos and videos I shot on the side. They didn't need to know the other side of my business dealt with pornography and that was worth big money. I smiled, taking a sip of the red wine, thinking about you. You didn't ask about the bonuses and how you could earn them. In time you would learn that you could make a hell of a lot more money than the salary I was paying you. If I was just a portrait photographer, there was no way I could afford to pay your salary.

The thought of you again brought visions of kissing but now I wondered how it would feel to have you in my arms, feeling your body pressed against mine. I felt a surge of lust in my groin as the daydream became more erotic, thinking of touching and kissing you everywhere. I was startled from my daydream by the insistent ringing of my cell phone. Picking it up, I didn't recognize the number but thought it might be you.

When I heard the softness of your voice on the other end of the line, I smiled, glad that you called. I told you how great it was to hear from you and I must have sounded like an excited little kid when you told me you could start tomorrow. I told you I was really looking forward to working with you and was glad you were able to start right away. I didn't ask how your boss took the news and figured you would tell me it you wanted me to know. My mind was racing with images of you and I working together as I told you we had a full day tomorrow.

I liked the sound of your voice in my ear and I swore there was a hint of suggestiveness in your tone as we briefly talked about you coming in tomorrow. When we hung up, I could still hear your voice and I felt good about hiring you. With Amber coming in for some risqué photos for her portfolio, I knew it would be a good test to see how you react to her. And from her last photo shoot, I was pretty certain Amber wanted more than pictures and I was glad you would be there to help deflect her advances. Finishing my wine, I lay on my bed, images of you and I working together filled my brain as I fell asleep.

I was standing behind you, my arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you back against me. I smelled the sweetness of your perfume as I kissed the side of your neck, slowly working my way to your ear. You feel so good in my arms as my lips cover your earlobe, sucking it gently into my mouth. I can hear your soft moans while my breath blows into your ear and my hands find the twin mounds. My hips push against your ass, wanting you to feel the hardness that is harnessed in my trousers. My breathing quickens when your hands reach behind you and rub the lump growing in my pants. I groan with each touch of your fingers, pressing .... squeezing ..... stroking it as my desire grows. My only thought is I want you naked and then there is the sound of voices distracting me.

My eyes fly open and the familiar surroundings of my bedroom meet me. The voices are coming from the radio announcing that it is time to get up. It was dream that seemed so real and looking down, there is a pronounced growth between my thighs, pushing the boxer shorts outward like a small tent.

I got ready for the day, dressing in a blue tee shirt and jeans. It was nice not wearing suits and ties everyday and I felt more comfortable in casual everyday attire. The drive to the office was filled with thoughts of you and my erotic dream. I wondered how this day would unfold as I opened the office. As I waited for your arrival, I looked at the schedule. One engagement and one wedding anniversary session before Amanda was to arrive later in the afternoon.

Tuesday late morning - Getting ready for work

I awoke refreshed after a good night's sleep, ready to take on the day and my new job. The sun was shining brightly through the window as it was already 11:00 am. It was such a pleasure to not have to get up at 6:00 am as my last job as a waitress afforded me to sleep late, although I did work late nights a lot. It was only on occasion that I had to fill in for someone who couldn't make it in for their lunch shift either because they were sick or just had to switch shifts for whatever reason. This new job was going to be heaven I could feel it already.

I walked around my apartment with a huge grin as I prepared my coffee and ran the shower. I was starting to wonder what I was going to wear as I really didn't have much in terms of a work wardrobe. I had mostly jeans, blouses, some sun dresses, a few skirts but nothing really for work. In fact, what I wore yesterday to teh interview was probably my best work outfit.

I stepped into the shower and the water temperature was just right as it teemed down upon my face and trailed down my body in fast-flowing streamlets. As I began to soap myself up my thoughts turned to my new boss and his dreamy looks. The only constant in the dream was his eyes. I was starting to get lost in my daydream when I rinsed off and turned the shower off. I stood there for a few seconds before stepping out and grabbing my towel. I didn't bother to dry off but rather just wrapped the towel around my body.

I stopped by the kitchen to grab my coffee and went to the bedroom and stared at my closet wondering what to wear on my first day. I was flicking back and forth through all my clothing before I finally settled on this simple but cute outfit. I wore a simple white tank tee under the blouse so that I could leave it open unaware that my black bra would be so visible through the thin material of my tee shirt.

I wasn't sure what the dress code was but I was pretty sure it was going to be casual. If not, I will just have to explain that I will need some time to shop for more appropriate attire. With my outfit laying across my bed, it was time to put on some underwear. I sifted through my draw and came across a pair that I had bought a while back when I was seeing this guy but never got to wear them because that relationship didn't last long. What the heck! I was feeling pretty good so why not. I ripped the tag off and slipped them on. I checked myself out in the mirror and turned to and fro admiring myself. I finished getting dressed and applied my makeup and headed out to my new job.

 

[Rocket1010]

I was working on the photos of Bob and Julie when I heard the front door open and waiting to see if it is you. When I see you walk into the office area I couldn't help but smile. 'God you look great this morning,' I think as you walk towards me. Taking in the skin tight jeans and the loose top you chose to wear, I think you look like a model rather than my assistant. For an instant I wonder what it would be like to do a photo session of you. I had a sneaky suspension you were a raw talent but I hoped to explore that later.

I was pleased that you were able to start so soon and thoughts of last nights erotic dreams filled my brain. You look so delicious and I for a moment I want to take you into my arms. I put a hold on my thoughts and rather than grabbing you I grin brightly. "Good morning Rachel. I'm so glad you were able to get out of your other job."

I wonder what you would say if you knew my erotic thoughts of you and I. This is your first day and already the erotic thoughts are bombarding my brain. I manage to say. "We have a little while before our first appointment. I'm fixing some of the photos we took yesterday and I'd like to show you how we do the editing. There is a pot of coffee on the counter over there if you want some." I take a sip of my coffee just happy you are now working for me.

Tuesday Afternoon - First Day on the Job

I couldn't believe how relaxed I felt as i walked through the front door of the studio and the little chime of the bell announcing a visitor. It was such a crisp mid-Spring afternoon with the sun shining brightly with a just a hint of coolness hitting the skin. That relaxed state didn't last long as I proceeded through the beaded curtain and saw you sitting at one of the computers when you gazed up and your eyes met mine. I practically stopped in my tracks as your gaze just went through me and I was wondering if you were doing it on purpose In fact, your stare actually made me shiver and when you spoke the words "Good morning Rachel" I felt my knees wobble and thought for sure I was going to drop to the floor.

"Good morning Mr. Carlson. Well, yeah. My boss was kind of a creep so I am actually surprised he let me just leave. I guess I wasn't one of his treasured girls." Smiling back at you to show that it wasn't really a concern of mine, I tried to gain my composure back and thought that a cup of coffee is a step in the right direction. I know that it will be quite difficult to work alongside of you if I can't get my hormones in order.

"I would love to learn about editing. I never really had been trained before. It's a skill I would love to learn" as I walked to the desk and stood at your right shoulder looking down at the screen but not before peering down at your chest in that snug blue tee. I took a deep breath and that's when I noticed the warmth building between my legs. Perhaps I am standing too close to you I thought. I wonder if he would mind if I just climbed into his lap and started making out with him. Now that would be an amazing first day on the job. That thought made me giggle out loud. You asked me what was so funny and my face flushed from embarrassment. "Nothing. Sorry. Please teach me" I pleaded. God that almost sounded like I was coming on to him. Get a grip on yourself Rachel or you'll never make it past the first day without getting fired.

 

[Rocket1010]

The smile on your face as we greeted each other was intoxicating. I was a bit nervous about having a new face around the office but your soft exuberant smile put me at ease. There is always a bit of questioning when you hire someone new, hoping they work out ok. With you though, I have a good feeling that we will work well together given how you did yesterday with Bob and Julie's setting.

I was still sitting in my chair when told me you would love to learn editing photos. You definitely said the right thing on your first day and it made me feel good. I watched you approach me and then you stood beside me looking at the computer screen. I heard you take a deep breath and when I turned my head, my eyes were directly in line your breasts. The thoughts of what they might look like .... how they would feel in my hands .... and on my lips flew around in my head. I quickly looked up to see you staring down at me and all I could do was give you a sheepish smile, wondering if you caught me looking and then you giggle.

I wondered what you really were thinking when you said, "Nothing. Sorry. Please teach me"

'Teach you what,' screamed in my head. 'Take you into the back room where there is a bed and have my way with you. Whoa ... take it easy Jack ... she's only been her for less than a half-hour.'

But those were not the words that came from my mouth. "I'm glad to hear you want to learn. I have a feeling you are a quick learner," I said getting up from my chair and turning toward you. You were so close .... close enough to reach out and take you into my arms. "Get yourself a cup of coffee and we'll start your education. The cups are in the cupboard next to the sink," I chuckled wondering if you knew what was going on in my brain.

I watched you walk to the counter and took in your nice ass when you had to reach up to grab a mug. With your back to me, I was able to take in your backside and I felt a tingle in my balls followed by a tightening in the muscle between my thighs.

"Ok let's get started," I announced when you turned around. "Have a seat and I'll show you some of the basics." Sitting in the chair I had occupied, I stood off to your right looking at the screen. "I use the latest Photoshop program. See if you can put a bit more highlight in the background." I saw your eyes scanning the screen, moving the mouse to the contrast button.

"A little more light," I said instinctively leaning over your shoulder and putting my hand on top of yours. You glanced at me and we were so close together that it would have been easy to close the distance between our lips. 'Quit thinking those thoughts,' I admonished myself as I moved the mouse to get the contrast I wanted. Lifting my hand, I saw your eyes follow it and then I said, "Why don't you try it on the next photo." I had to say something or else I might have tried to kiss you.

Tuesday Afternoon - At work

Getting up to make myself a cup of coffee allowed me to compose myself a little. I sauntered over to the little kitchen nook and looked around to familiarize myself with the setup. There was a full pot of freshly brewed coffee with about a cup missing, a little bowl with packets of sugar and stirrers right next to it. I turned and opened the refrigerator grabbing the half gallon of milk and then looking up and opening the cabinets, finding the mugs were a bit out of my reach. I stood up on my tippy-toes and my fingers stretched for the nearest mug, my body bouncing up and down a little as I tried stretching more, hoping that this bouncing would get my fingertips around the handle. There!

I settled back onto my heels and took a couple of deep breaths before making my coffee. When I was done I turned around and took a sip staring in your direction. You said "let's get started" and I slowly walked over to the desk thinking that I would love to just have you seduce me. I had it bad for you. Really bad! I sat in the seat that you just vacated and realized that my whole body was flush with excitement. It was like I was a teenager falling in love for the first time.

I could feel my heart quicken as I sat there with you hovering over me. I placed the coffee mug down on the desk and then followed your instructions. If there was one thing I was good at, it was following instructions. And that I was a quick learner. I did as you said and with this not exactly being hte first time using Photoshop, I picked up thigns rather fast.

That was a good thing because when you brush against the back of my shoulder and placed your hand on the top of my mine, I instantly felt a tingling between my legs and when I turned to look up at you, your lips were about an inch away. My eyes stared at your lips and I could feel the warmth building up between mt thighs as I thought, Please kiss me, I'm yours!

My eyes lifted to yours before turning to watch your hand atop mine. Your sexy and smooth hand that I wanted to touch my body all over was totally covering mine.I squeezed my thighs together to stop the intensity building between them but to no avail. It just made it stronger that I actually could feel myself getting wet.

You then removed your hand leaving me in a state of arousal and told me to try it on the next photo. With my heart pounding in my chest, sexual desire building in my head and my pussy getting moist, this was probably not going to be easy. I took a deep breath and said, "Okay, here goes nothing", not really knowing what else to say.

I clicked for the next photo and it was of Bob leaning over Julie's shoulder and his hands around her waist as she sat on the swing. They looked good together although she was much prettier than he was handsome. Perhaps me editing these photos will be a good distraction from all the teasing you were doing.

 

[Rocket1010]

At my request for you to do the next photo, I heard you take a deep breath and then say, "Okay, here goes nothing." I watched as you carefully scanned the photo of Bob and Julie. You seemed to be studying the photograph for a long time and I wondered if you were unsure of what to do on your own.

I looked at the photo too and imagined you sitting on the swing rather than Julie with my arm around your waist, feeling the underside of your breasts. My cheek would be next to yours just like Bob's was in the photo and it would be so easy to lean a little bit forward and kiss you. I was brought out of my erotic thoughts when you began to move the cursor, making subtle changes, highlighting the facial features of both Bob and Julie. It was clear you had some previous experience working with Photoshop.

"Very good Rachel," I commented watching as you changed small details such as removing the small mole on her cheek to enhance the photo. "I can see you have had some experience with this program." When you finished I saw your eyes glance up to me and I smiled, "I like what you have done Rachel. You sure are a quick learner. Why don't you finish the rest of the photos and I'm going to set up the files for our next shoot."

I walked a short distance to Kelsey's old desk and sat down glancing sideways at you. I saw you staring at me and felt an adrenalin rush of lust for you. I wanted to get up and walk over .... take you in my arms .... and feel our bodies crush together. But all I could do is give you a soft smile and then turn to the computer screen. Setting up the files for Ken and Carol Stephenson didn't take long but I kept stealing glances in your direction. You seemed oblivious to my glances while you worked on the touch-ups.

Just then the sound of the front door chime rang through the office. "That must be Ken and Carol Stephenson," I mentioned rising from my chair and heading to the front door. "You can finish that later Rachel. Let's get these young lovers back to the studio. We're going to use the same set for Bob and Carol so we don't have any set up time." The word lovers rang through my head as I walked to the front of the shop. 'What would it be like to have Rachel as a lover,' I secretly thought while I walked past you.

I ushered the young couple back into the studio and introduced them to you. They were about the same age as Bob and Julie and I asked if they knew the other couple. They both shook their heads saying the names didn't ring a bell. It was small talk as we got them situated and I asked the usual questions to make them comfortable .... how did they meet .... when is the wedding .... where do they work. They laughed a bit nervously as they answered my questions.

While I got the camera situated the way I wanted them and ready to shoot, I saw you were ready with the lighting. Without so much as having to tell you what to do, you were moving the lighting tripods and giving the young couple instructions as if you had been doing this sort of thing for a long time. I was thrilled that and for a moment I just watched you and knew that sometime I wanted to take photos of you.
