076

Suki got me Erin's robe and gave it to me so I could cover up. The robe smelled of Erin, her perfume or soap or shower gel. It smelled good. I stood up and stretched, reaching for the ceiling, then put the robe on. Suki removed the memory card from the camera and downloaded the pictures to her laptop. She opened them up.

"Take a look at these and tell me what you think," Suki said. "First look at the overall poses. Torso, legs and head. When you see one you like, start looking again for hands, arms and feet. We might have to put two or three different poses together to get the perfect one."

So we started flicking through the different photos, eventually agreeing on a few different combinations. I removed the robe and got back on the couch and she moved me around until she had everything just so and took a half dozen more, with very minor variations. She looked them all over on the camera itself and picked one, showing it to me.

"This is the one."

It was an incredibly sexy shot. My back was arched slightly, one leg was up, one was down and it really opened my groin area. My sex and butt plug was visible, though Suki assured me, by the time it was painted, it wouldn't be in my bottom anymore. My left hand was on my stomach, close to my vagina, drawing attention to my sex, though not touching it. My head was back, my right arm over my face like I was shading it from the sun which streamed across my body lighting up my breasts.

"It's so graphic," I whispered.

"But you can't see your face or who you are," Suki reminded me. "It's the general pose you and Tanner picked out."

"It almost looks as though you can see right up my kitty," I said.

"It won't be quite as detailed as the photograph," Suki said.

"How much are you getting paid for the painting?" I asked.

"Thirty thousand."

"Thirty thousand! That's marvelous, Suki."

"Better yet, the promise of another one if he likes it, plus recommendations to all his rich friends. This one client alone could be the basis of a whole career."

"I'm so happy for you."

"Thanks. Why don't we take another break and we'll eat some salad for lunch."

I got up and put the robe on, and Suki whipped together a salad with ingredients found in her fridge. We sat down enjoyed our meal. I asked more about her relationship with Erin. She asked me about Tanner and what he was like and how well we got along together.

"When do you plan to give Tanner your ass?"

"The thing I read said it would be easiest after using the largest plug."

"And you're on which one now?"

"The third largest."

"So Wednesday or later?"

"Yes."

"You'll have to tell me if you like it as much as I do," Suki said. "Not all the time, you understand, but every once in awhile, you just can't beat a good ass fucking."

I supposed I was about to find out, if my blackmailer couldn't be discovered beforehand.

We finished up and put our dishes away.

"I'd like to take a couple photos in the afternoon light," Suki said, "so if you could leave your clothes off for now. But I won't start the painting until tomorrow. The rest of the afternoon, I'd like you to help me set up the scene. Decide on the covering for the couch, what items to put around to tell a story."

"Okay."

So Shizuko took a couple photos right away after getting me in the same position. Then we talked about the scene.

"I'm thinking a kind of period piece, maybe roaring twenties, perhaps listening to music, reading a book which aroused her, but she's set it down. Perhaps a vase of flowers, lace curtains," Suki said.

"Yes, I see. A book on the floor beside her, maybe something by D. H. Lawrence. Perhaps one of those early phonographs with the big horn on it. Can you even find anything like that anymore?"

"There's a prop place that rents props for movies and plays. They don't always work, but it would definitely set a tone," Suki replied.

Taking the previous sketch done of me Friday which generally matched the photo Suki was using, she sketched in rough ideas.

"A lamp behind her because she was reading. Maybe an old time lampshade with fringes on it," I said. "The old phonograph at the foot of the couch. The book should be open, as if she's stopped reading momentarily, but intends to return to it shortly. A couple pillows on the couch, a throw or quilt of some kind on the back of the couch, something old time. I know I'm to be nude, but perhaps an open nightgown, showing she was dressed, but has opened it because she wants to be bare." Suki sketched it in.

"A vase of flowers," Suki said. "I'll probably use plastic, as real ones would need frequent replacing. A plate of food on the floor by the book, some fruit perhaps."

An apple with a bite gone from it," I exclaimed. "A hint of Eden; Eve and the apple. Maybe some grapes and a wedge of cheese, or a roll."

"This is good," Suki said. "You've got some great ideas." She was roughly sketching as we spoke. "Once we set it up, we'll have to take more pictures so we can return it to the same position each time I start painting, or no one will be able to use my couch. Erin would have a cow."

Suki took more pictures to capture the light on me later. After, I put on the robe and we searched through the house looking for things we could use as props. We found some things, but would need to find others elsewhere. She made an appointment for the prop place at nine tomorrow and asked me to meet her there so I could help her because I had some good ideas.

"I'd love to," I said.

She was taking her final lighting pictures when Erin arrived home. Erin watched as Suki worked and I posed. When we were finished, I dressed while Suki showed her the pose we'd decided on and the sketch with the added props shown.

"This is beautiful work, Suki," Erin said. "It's very erotic. Your client should love it."

"We're going to be taking over the living room for awhile. I hope you don't mind."

"I can live with it, especially if I get to watch you work. What are you going to do with the pictures which didn't make the cut?"

I wanted to know the answer to that question myself. I had enough nude pictures of me floating around the city already.

"Delete them," Suki said. "The only ones I need are the pose, which I'll replace once we get the props set up, and the lighting ones to pick the best lighting for the scene."

"Thank you," I said. "I don't need nude pictures of myself floating around."

"Don't worry," Suki said. "I've got your back. I'll treat you the same as I would any professional model. All the pictures will be deleted after the painting is done."

"I'll see you tomorrow at nine, Suki. I'm looking forward to it," I said. "I need to get home and start supper for Tanner."

"Tomorrow will be mostly set up," Suki said. "Get the scene exactly the way I want it. Maybe a few more lighting photos, especially in the morning. I expect to start the painting on Wednesday. Do you want a copy of the picture to show Tanner what the finished product will look like?"

"Please. One of the sketch showing your ideas for the scene as well." She sent me the photo of me and took a photo of the scene sketch on her phone and sent it as well.

I hugged them both goodbye and left. As soon as I got home, I went into the shower, removed my plug and washed it and myself. All I put on after the shower was one of Tanner's t-shirts, long enough to cover my sexy bits, but not much more. I started supper, something special, vodka chicken with capers, with a baked potato and some salad. I'd made it for Tanner once before and he'd really appreciated it. It was time intensive, but well worth the effort. I didn't have time to bake the potatoes before Tanner got home, so I microwaved them one at a time and put them in the oven at 150 degrees to keep them warm until the chicken was done.
