Photographer's Model (closed for pipper and JT)

[JayTee69gmx]

While she was modelling the various pairs of gloves, they talked.

"I did send final versions of the video, plus some stills to Keith. I studied them at length. I have no idea how he did it. He is very good. Usually a magician works with misdirection, but I isolated areas to watch to avoid that. Still, no clue."

Once done with the women's gloves, Phil gave Laurie a basic lesson in handling his camera, releasing the shutter, and some simple composition guidelines. He may have stood closer than most teachers would have. After setting out a pair of gloves on the color key, he had her shoot them a couple of times, checked the results, and satisfied, launched into wearing different pairs of men's gloves. Laurie shot them, and after they were all done, Phil checked the results with the little screen on the back of his camera.

He tossed the gloves back into the box, and said, "These gloves are mine to keep, so show them to your parents, and they can choose any pairs they want for themselves, if you want any, take them too. Then you can bring the rest back to my place. Mary can have a couple, I will take a couple, the rest can go to a charity."

"Let's go down and see how Oscar is doing? Don't disturb him, let's see what he does if I come into the room with him."

"Also, don't forget, I really do want to do nude figure studies of you. I'd like to schedule that soon." Phil laughed, "Maybe you want me to photograph you naked, too."

 

[pipper]

Damn! Laurie had forgotten about the nude studies. But she had promised Phil and would reflect badly on her if she backed out. As for taking photographs of him; “Would be nice to switch positions!”

Then she smirked as she realized the ramifications of the word ‘positions’.

“Come on, let’s see Oscar.” Laurie took hold of Phil’s hand and led him down to the basement. To her disappointment the snake was very much awake.

“By the way he’s moving around he’s hungry. I’ll be right back.”

She then disappeared into an adjoining room, only to reappear a minute later holding a rat by its tail in a gloved hand. In her other hand she held another glove which she promptly tossed at Phil. “Here, put that on.”

Laurie waited as he worked the thick glove onto his hand. “Now, take the rat from my hand; remember to hold it by its tail. Once you’ve done that just open the door to the enclosure; then place the rat in the foliage. After that, come back out and close the door. I don’t spoon feed Oscar; he has to hunt for his food!”

 

[JayTee69gmx]

The glove was a very tight fit as Phil's hands were quite a bit larger than Laurie's. Phil took the rat by the tail, as instructed. He opened the door to the enclosure, and out of the corner of his eye saw the snake's tail vanish. After placing the rat in the foliage where it was not obvious to his eye, he backed out, and closed the door.

He caught a glimpse of the snake with tongue out, tasting the air, and heard rustling noises as it worked its way around the enclosure, searching for its dinner.

Wrestling the glove back off, "Laurie, I've had some inquiries about more photo shoots. The time has come. I am going to lease that place for my studio. 'Working Images', what do you think of the name?"

 

[pipper]

“The name does sound different,” she replied. Then Laurie’s inquisitive nature got the better of her. “Inquires, you say. Who from, or is that private?”

Then she looked directly into Phil's eyes that somehow appeared to be captivating her. Smiling, Laurie slipped her arms over his shoulders, bringing her body close against his. She tilted her head and kissed him long and thoroughly. She could feel the heat from his body. Her lips slid wet and smooth over his.

This kiss was much, much longer. It kept going long after Laurie thought it should end. She couldn’t bring herself to pull her lips away, not until she had savoured the feeling of him for another precious, lingering moment. She found herself stroking Phil’s hair while she necked like a teenager, luxuriating in the sexy sensations he was bringing her.

She bent one knee and slid her foot back and forth. She didn’t even notice exactly when her tongue got into the action. Was it his eyes? They did seem to have a hypnotic effect on her.

When they finally parted Laurie was breathless. “P-Phil,” she gasped, “I, I think that is about enough kissing for today.” She took a deep breath. Her head was spinning. “Er…so…er…Inquires from whom?”

 

[JayTee69gmx]

At first Phil was taken aback. But his natural reflexes took over and as she held him close and kissed, he wrapped his arms around her, one hand on her back between her shoulders and the other on her lower back, both pressed her closer. He felt her breasts on his chest, her mound on his thigh. She tasted wonderfully sweet. His tongue slid between her lips easily. Their bodies made small involuntary movements.

She released the kiss and drew back, but he held on, keeping her body close. Memorizing the feel of her. Arousal stirring.

He tried to speak normally, but found he stuttered and stammered.

"A . . a . . agency sent an email asking for a quote to do . . . " he paused, caressing between her shoulder blades, " . . . a photo shoot for a new car brochure . . you . . . you . . are included as m . . m . . mmmm."

"Model. They want to attract youth . . . I need two more models. Maybe Keith? and Sue? Theme is a picnic in countryside. Everyone has to sign non-disclosure until the car is shown in public at the auto show."

Looking in her eyes all the time, Phil was uncertain she had heard any of what he said.

 

[pipper]

Something was wrong. Phil’s eyes seemed to penetrate Laurie’s mind. She had never experienced this before; considering the amount of times she had looked into his eyes.

“Er…Keith and Sue…sure, I’ll ask them.”

Then her senses returned when she heard rustling in the enclosure. “Oh, he’s got the rat. Considering his size the poor rat would have been swallowed up in one gulp! Don’t worry, there won’t be a bulge. As far as Oscar is concerned that rat was a snack! You’ll need something bigger in him to see a bulge."

Still light headed, Laurie went and opened Oscar’s door. “Come on boy, time for you to make friends with Phil.” Then she turned to face Phil. “Just gently stroke his scales. He likes that!”

 

[JayTee69gmx]

Phil waited at the door until the snake came out to inspect him. After a few moments of tongue darts, he suspected the snake knew he had something to do with the arrival of food.

Surprisingly the snake felt only slightly cool, and silky soft. Not at all what he had imagined a snake would feel like. It slithered a bit, and in doing so moved the place on its body where Phil was stroking. He could feel a small change in size, perhaps that was how far the rat had made it.

Phil moved a bit to get more comfortable and continued to stroke the snake's body.

"Did I just get myself a full time job here?"

 

[pipper]

Laurie smirked. “Yeah, right, he’s just being friendly. Your photo studio will be your full time job! Of course it’s always nice to spend time with him.”

She stroked the reptile’s scales. “I wonder what it would feel like to be completely inside him.”

Suddenly Laurie looked at Phil. “Hey! Why were you so keen to video Susan and I doing a girl on girl action in the pit?”

 

[JayTee69gmx]

"I don't recall 'girl on girl', and it was your friends'' suggestion, not mine. All I did was to agree. Apart from being with you and seeing you, I am indifferent to the idea."

"If you don't want to, I can tell them if you'd rather not."

Phil continued to run his fingers on the snake. Oscar seemed content to have him there.

 

[pipper]

Laurie wondered if he was trying to play ‘innocence’. “Well, Keith did say risqué, and in a text I got from him, he alluded that Sue and I were to submerge in a sexy embrace.”

What a mess! “If I call it off, I’ll never hear the end of it, especially as you and Oscar are getting on well together.”

Then it hit her! “Hey, I just remembered! The pit scene was contingent on you becoming friends with Oscar, and, let’s says, he wasn’t interested. Wouldn’t that give me a way out?”

 

[JayTee69gmx]

"I suppose that could work."

Phil stopped petting the snake, but it wiggled closer to him. So he resumed.

"But it might not be true. In fact, how do I stopped this? Get him back in his enclosure?"

Being alone with her was beginning to arouse him, just her presence was sending his mind into loops, most of which involved stroking her, not the snake. The memory of their recent kiss and close full length hug didn't help.

 

[pipper]

Laurie laughed. “He’s just making sure you’re not a threat to him or me.” Then she clapped twice.

Oscar reacted to it and moved towards her. “Oscar hasn’t done his coiling excises for a while. Before he does though, it’s time for a little strip show!”

With that she stripped down to her bra and panties. “I normally do this in a one piece swimsuit, but underwear is fine. Okay, let’s see what he can do. Slowly coil, Oscar.”

The tail of the snake began to coil around Laurie’s legs just below her knees; then stopped. “He only does one coil per instruction, but we leave it up to him where the coils go.” She grinned. “That’s because he doesn’t know the meaning of things like waist, hips, calves and such.”

Oscar looked at her. “Okay, he wants to know if we're continuing. Slowly coil, Oscar.”

The snake’s tail didn’t coil straight away, but moved outwards. Laurie knew that by doing that, Oscar was moving a thicker part of his body around her legs. As it did so, the coil moved down to just above her ankles, before it rose again at an angle over her knees.

Once that was done, Oscar slipped his tail around her again. This time it went around her panties while locking Laurie’s hands by her sides. She must have looked at sight! Her lower legs being exposed as Oscar’s pair of coils covered her from the hips to her ankles.

“They don’t hurt one bit due to his training!” she exclaimed. Then Laurie noticed Phil’s bulge. She smiled. “Would you like him to do another coil?”

 

[JayTee69gmx]

Of course Phil knew exactly where she was looking, and he answered "Yes" without thinking. And regretted having left his camera upstairs. But anxious not to break the mood, he simply re-iterated, "Yes, please."

He watched the snake closely, seeing how it wrapped her tightly, but not too tight. Under the top coil, the curves of her upper thighs and mound were accentuated. Surely another turn would end up just below her breasts. And her arms pinned to her sides. Phil remembered the 'bondage' shots they had done long ago. That plus her frank stare made his arousal much stronger, both visibly and mentally. He longed to feel her mouth. Kissing him. He wanted her now, very very badly.

 

[pipper]

Laurie grinned. “As you wish, Phil; slowly coil, Oscar.”

The snake obliged as his tail moved around her waist. When he was finished the top coil was just under her breasts, leaving a gap between the other two. With her navel area exposed, Laurie said, “Why don’t you get your camera? It’ll be good for Oscar if he can hold them in place.”

 

[JayTee69gmx]

"OK, be right back."

Upstairs he grabbed his camera, and swapped out the card for the one he used for photos of her. Then, seeing a bowl of fruit, took an apple and shone it. Back downstairs, he looked at the scene, Laurie standing in bra and panties, snake wrapping her arms at her sides. He would prefer the bra off for the shot, but that wasn't possible with her arms pinned. He had her hold the apple in her hand, as if to offer it, but restrained by the snake. A visual upset of the usual Eve encouraged by the snake to offer the apple to Adam, this was Eve, already partly clothed, restrained by the snake.

Phil knew the camera settings by heart for the snake room, and got a few shots before asking for the 'O' mouth. Just thinking about that brought back his arousal, but he was no longer embarrassed by it. In fact he knew she enjoyed that she had that effect on him.

 

[pipper]

Laurie just stood there with Oscar coiled around her three times. “You know; the bible never said that it was an apple, just ‘fruit’.”

Laurie chuckled, while wondering that if her parents returned home now, they would die of shock!

She even dared to think where Oscar would put another coil around if she instructed him. Unless he lowered all three, the next coil would probably go over her breasts. Laurie wasn’t sure who was getting the better deal of this situation. Oscar who had her in his coils or Phil who seemed to be…enjoying the moment?

 

[JayTee69gmx]

"Well Laurie, I was thinking of the old masters' paintings in the art gallery of Adam and Eve and the serpent and the apple. Except now the snake is keeping you from handing me the apple. Looks like he enjoys holding you, but not as much as I would, especially dressed like that."

"But how much time do we have before your parents come home?"

 

[pipper]

She didn’t have a clue what time it was. The basement’s clock had run afoul of a dead battery, and by not bothering to wear a watch Laurie had lost track. Reckoning that the glove shoot took about an hour, plus time spent with Oscar could, by her reckoning, make it about nine or just after.

Of course, getting Oscar to uncoil himself off of her, and then into his enclosure would add to that estimate. “Best to assume they’re be back in an hour at the very most. And you can bet that Parker is checking on us!”

She then dropped the apple to the floor. “Reverse coils fully, Oscar.”

 

[JayTee69gmx]

Phil sighed as he picked up the apple where it rolled, and watched her start to untangle the snake. One last look at her, panties and bra, then upstairs to pack up his camera gear, replace the apple in the fruit bowl.

He remembered then to swap back the camera card for the glove assignment and return the card with the new photos of Laurie and the snake to the corner of his camera bag. Once back home he would encode them and put the safely in the cloud. As always he'd erase the card then.

Then he called downstairs, "Laurie? Everything OK?"

 

[pipper]

Laurie knew that Phil was disappointed that their time together was about to come to a close, but she had to be careful not to sound off any warning bells, especially that Parker was up to her tricks.

She watched as Oscar slithered back into his enclosure before locking it. Even the look on the reptile told her that even he was saddened. “I’ll give you another coiling session soon,” Laurie said.

As she got dressed Laurie heard Phil. "Laurie? Everything okay?"

“Yep, I’ll be right up.”

Sprinting up the stairs, she found Phil waiting for her. Not wanting to waste time, Laurie threw her arms around him and kissed him. “Best, you get going.”

 

[JayTee69gmx]

Phil returned her kiss with some passion, and whispered in her ear, "Soon."

"Don't forget to offer your parents pick of those gloves, and take some for yourself too. Bring the box over anytime after."

He was only home a half hour when he saw car lights in his drive and the garage door opening. Mary! Well that was close!

Phil told her about the new photography assignments, but she really didn't seem to be listening. Apparently her sister was fine. And most important, had he kept up with Downton Abbey on the PVR? She had seen the finale, but it seemed it was worth re-watching.

He withdrew to his studio to work on final edits of the gloves, planning to sleep on it and one more review tomorrow before submitting the work, and his invoice. But first he encrypted the latest shots of Laurie, stored them in the cloud and erased the card.

 

[pipper]

It was about forty-five minutes after Phil had sneaked out the back door that Laurie’s parents came home. Her mother, as usual, harped on how their evening had gone. As far as Laurie was concerned, it went in one ear and out the other!

Sleep was good to her, and the new morning started with a shower and breakfast. Laurie was a bit surprised that her father wasn’t ready for work.

“Oh, we’re off to a business conference early tomorrow, so you’ll have the house to yourself for two days.”

“Of course, you could have come with us, if you didn’t have to look after that thing down below,” her mother added.

That got Laurie’s back up. “Oscar is not a thing! He’s a snake, and snakes are quite capable of looking after themselves!”

“Well, he won’t find any food in his enclosure, will he?”

“I fed him last night!”

“Oh right you two! If Laurie wants to come with us, she can,” her father finally said.

Her mother looked at her. “Well?”

“I won’t be going as I have a few things to do, but rest assured I would be going with you otherwise.”

Their interaction was suddenly irrupted by the doorbell. “Oh, that’s our new couch,” her mother said.

“What the hell is wrong with the one we’ve got?”

“Laurie! No need for that!”

“Yes, dad, I’m sorry, but there’s nothing wrong with it, you can’t just chuck it out!”

Her father sighed. “We have nowhere else to put it.”

Laurie smiled. “How about in the basement, that way I can relax while writing my reports on Oscar.”

Her father looked at her; then nodded. “Come on let’s move it there now, before your mother convinces the delivery men to take it away.”

 

[JayTee69gmx]

The next morning at breakfast, Phil started to tell Mary about the studio space he was planning to lease, but she seemed distracted, her mind was elsewhere. But where he could not say. He shrugged it off, and went to work as usual.

He had barely got started on the cost analysis for a new project when Jennifer came in and plopped on the corner of his desk, showing lots of leg, as usual. She did not look happy. "What's the matter?"

She told him how she got a blind date from the site, and that it was horrible, the guy treated her like a prostitute. And she was mortified. Phil began to realize she actually did not know that the photos she asked for might well get that reaction.

"Look Jennifer, burn your membersship on that one and find another site. But do NOT use those photos I took. Maybe set them aside for now. And let me shoot some new ones, maybe tomorrow at lunch if the weather is good. And (cough) dress more conservatively? Im not saying the guy had any excuse at all to treat you like that. But I think if your site photos had a different, um, emphasis, you might have better luck."

"OK?"

She nodded and vanished, hiding her face.

 

[pipper]

The look on her mother’s face spoke volumes. Laurie knew that she didn’t approve of the old couch remaining in the house, let alone in the basement. After some delicate movements the old couch finally rested in its new location. Even Oscar appeared to be inquisitive.

Once things had settled down in the house, Laurie brought the glove box into the kitchen. “Phil said that you can select what you like, but not all of them.”

It was then that she received a text from Sue. ‘Can you come to Keith’s place?’ Laurie quickly replied saying that she was on her way. As she got into her car, she spotted Mary’s. Damn!

On arriving at Keith’s home, Laurie was surprised to be welcomed by him, and informed that Susan had to keep a dental appointment.

“Okay, why did she tell me to come here?”

“She…we were wondering if you had managed to get Oscar and Phil to become friends?”

Laurie put her hands on her hips. “You brought me all the way here just to ask me that? Why couldn’t Sue just ask that in the text she sent me? And for your information, no, they didn’t hit it off!” What a lie!

Keith sighed. “Very well, I’ll tell Sue once she gets back.”

Laurie was about to leave when a notion came to her. “Er…Phil would like me to try out some fashion poses via cam…” Another lie! “…but I’m not too sure if my old cam is good enough. I have to stand and sit.”

Keith seem to stand there pondering options. “Actually, a friend of mine created software that could make your fashion show perfect! I tried it out on Sue and it was amazing!”

Laurie’s ears couldn’t believe it. “Okay, in what way?”

“Well, it comes with its own special cam. After installing it, you have the option to select the item you’re posing with. Such as a stool, chair, for instance. You just aim the cam at the item; view it in the small window, if all is well you select it.

“Then you repeat the process with yourself. It doesn’t matter if you stand, sit, kneel, or lay down, the cam will get you all in the frame in sharpness, and it will follow your movements.”

Laurie couldn’t believe her luck. Now she could chat with Phil via cam while his wife watched her perishing Downton Abbey!

“Oh, and it can be programmed to simulate camera clicks, but the most important thing to remember is that the small flashing green light must be working. If it isn’t the cam will stop broadcasting because either you or the item you’re posing with is no longer in the frame.”

“How much will it cost?” Laurie wanted it badly!

“For you, it’s free. I ordered a second copy, just in case the first one failed.”

 

[JayTee69gmx]

Just before the end of the day, Jennifer came by again and after a quick glance around, furtively kissed his cheek. "Thank you Phil" Then left his office with rather more hip than usual. Phil sighed, and wondered if Jennifer was going to take another run at him. Well, tomorrow would tell.

On the way home he stopped by the studio and signed the lease. Once his first month's cheque cleared, he could take possession. He arranged to meet the owner in two days.

At home, Phil told Mary that he had leased studio space, since his photogrpahy business was doing so well. She just looked at him strangely, then shrugged as if it meant nothing to her. And buried her nose in a coffee table book about Downton Abbey. At that moment Phil remembered the car brochure, and slipped upstairs to his studio where he texted Laurie asking if she had asked Keith and Sue about doing the brochure.
