Destinbury

"Are you serious?" Stephie asked.

"I'm very serious."

Owen clicked his mouse and said, "Okay, let's look at Candy first. She's about my age plus or minus. She's very nice, fairly attractive, and here's an important point. She was the one to ask me, so check that out."

"Women don't go around asking men to take naked pictures of them."

"I have a hundred dollar bill that says I'm telling the truth."

"Damn a hundred. I guess you didn't lie after all. Okay, show us this sweet Candy," and she laughed at her own words.

All three of them took long swigs of beer and a second later Owen brought up the first images and the slowly walked them through what he and Candy had created. Not bad Bro."

"I agree," Stephie said.

"Thank you, but I screwed up with the shadows more than once, and I'm sure you saw the one where I made her legs look a mile long."

"You just need to step back and use a longer lens," Stephie said quietly.

"You know about photography?"

"Not a lot. I used to play around with my camera is all." Then smiling she said, "I got a few pretty good shots of my own too. You know college dorms, parties and so forth."

"Damn, I'll just bet you did. Okay, so here is the next group," and they focused on the monitor.

"Pretty sexy brother."

"Thank you, and notice that she is neither pregnant, nor does she look like she's been molested."

"Point taken. Nice, just down to her panties and bra just like...oops, what happened there Owen?"

"She took them off and gave them to me for a reason."

Stephie and Kate laughed and said, "Well of course she had a reason, damn." Owen calmly explained about the mirror series but it was still a minute before they stopped teasing him. "Well whatever, you got to see her treasures."

"To some extent anyway. Now the next ones will be of young Marcie."

"Show us her goodies," and Kate laughed again.

"You're having far too much fun at my expense."

"Because you're such an easy target. All I have to do is shoot because you're impossible to miss." But then she saw sweet Marcie and Kate said, "Oh damn Bro, now she has some serious mojo working for her."

"Believe me, I do know that."

"Wow!" Stephie said as she saw more and more of Marcie. "Owen she's very nice and you did a nice job with her."

"Thank you. Like I said, these are just test shots, but I really like a few of them."

"Oh I do too. Kate, I hate to spoil your fun, but Owen does have a good eye. Only time and experience will help with some of the technicalities, but I'm impressed. Don't ever expect every shot to be a winner."

"I'd be happy with one in ten."

"As a beginner you should be very happy with one in ten. So she'll be posing with a young guy?"

"Right."

"Two models multiplies the challenges, but in some ways it might work to your benefit, depending on how well they work together."

Kate was still having fun with her brother as she asked him, "So what happens if Marcie and Ethan throw themselves to the matt and go at each other."

"I'll hurt myself trying to get every shot and video I can get," and Stephie laughed. "The sleaze factor."

"And I can live with that, but that isn't what I'm after."

"I'll make you a deal brother. I'll come over Friday afternoon and you can practice on me for awhile, but if tomorrow night goes well, call me and tell me not to come, because I'm still not eager to flash my panties at you."

"You just make sure you're wearing something at least decently sexy because I don't want to sit here and laugh when I'm trying to be serious."

"You are scum. You better take me as I am and not even smile or you'll be in so much trouble. Wait a minute, what about Nila?"

"She's working and will struggle to be here on time tomorrow night and Friday afternoon."

"I can't believe I'm agreeing to do this for you."

"You recognize that I'm in trouble and you're going to save your brother from embarrassment."

"Instead, I'll suffer terminal embarrassment from undressing for you. God, just saying that makes me wince."

As they left his office, Kate said, "Stephie, you're lucky Owen doesn't know you better or he would have asked you."

"I'll ask you right now Stephie, would you pose for me?"

"Maybe...one of these days," and she smiled.

"A perfect non committal answer," Kate said as she smiled at Owen.

"I'm ignoring my sister. Thank you Stephie, very much. I look forward to that day."

"Stephie," Kate said, "I'd like to tell you that you're safe because one of these days Owen will be married to Nila, but I doubt that will change things a lot."

"Are you getting married Owen?"

"She said yes, and we're slowly working on wedding plans, but no date is set."

"I'm very happy for you two."

"Thanks. It's so refreshing to be taken seriously after being harassed by my abusive sister. It's a good thing I still love her."

"You better," Kate said, "Or it will be a cold day before I pose for you. By the way, I'll arrive in bloomers and a baggy T shirt."

"I'll do a series titled, 'The laugh of the century', and I'll get rich."

"We're leaving," Kate announced, but the she kissed his cheek and said, "I'll see you Friday Bro."

"See you hon. Stephie, please come back."

"I will Owen, and it's been very interesting meeting you," and she too kissed his cheek before they left.

Chapter Sixty Nine

Kate was there just after noon saying, "I have two hours Brother."

"Then we'll work with that," and he kissed her cheek and slapped her butt.

She smiled and said, "I want the record to show that I'm nervous about this, and I don't care how much you trust your friends, don't tell them about this okay?"

"I'll abide by your wishes. Want to get right to it or would you like a drink first?"

"I'd like four drinks first, but I'll pass and just face the challenge like a man."

"Sis, you're a very long way from a man."

"I'll take that as a veiled compliment."

"I meant it and sorry it was so veiled."

"Let's get to it. The patio?"

"There and at the mirrors in my bedroom."

"Let's do those first."

As they went down the hall he said, "I want to do a set similar to what I did with Candy. I think I can do better, so this is my chance to find out before I work with her again, and I want to do something like that with Marcie too. I hate to repeat like that, but I really like the basic idea of those, and Marcie would look so totally hot if I can just pull it off."

"How do you pull it off and get photos at the same time?"

He looked at her and they both laughed just as they went into his bedroom. "Damn I wish my bedroom was this big."

"Why? Once you're asleep you don't know the difference."

"You're hopeless. Okay photographer tell me what to do."

"Strip."

"My God, don't even joke about that."

"Sorry. Give me a second and then I want you to slowly, and I mean slowly take off your blouse. I'll see if I can get a few shots without you pausing for me."

"Oookaaayyy, she said very slowly as she smiled and barely moved her hands. He stopped and struggled not to laugh and then she said, "Sorry, I'll get serious now."

It wasn't long before Owen forgot what he was supposed to do and she caught him staring at her. "God Owen this is difficult."

"I'm sorry, my mind took off for a second. Damn you look good Sis."

"Thanks. You know, this is good for me. I feel sexy doing this even for my brother."

"If you were my woman I'd keep you naked all the time. Okay, back to what I'm supposed to be doing."

She stripped to her bra, panties and high heels and they went through a long series of photos, and then outside where Owen worked on his shadow issues.

At the end, they sat on the glider and she leaned into him with his arm around her. "Sis, seriously, I know this wasn't easy for you, and thanks."

"You're welcome."

"I'm also going to say that you're are far sexier than I've ever realized."

"Thank you very much. You know it's a little weird sitting here next to my brother whilst close to naked and talking about me being sexy."

"Well you are, and you really did help me a lot. I'm going to do a few things differently now."

"Sorry I couldn't be naked for you."

"I really understand."

"But I still got you very hard."

He smiled and said, "Damn, I knew you'd notice that."

"Brother, the man between your legs could have been seen from space, and damn that should be weird enough to scare me away, but instead I'm very flattered by your response."

"Can I ask you a very personal question?"

"Let's see, what I'm wearing probably weighs four ounces total not counting my heels. I'm leaning against my shirtless brother and he has his arm around my almost naked torso. You've stared at me as I posed like a slut for you, I've seen evidence of your hard pecker...yes, I think a very personal question is okay."

"Are you having an affair with Stephie?"

He expected her to flinch or jump up, but instead she sat there quietly for a few seconds before she said, "That's quite a question."

"Obviously you don't have to answer though."

"Owen, the answer is yes we are. Want a little more detail?"

"I'd like to hear whatever you're willing to share with me."

"Stephie is separated from her husband, but that has nothing to so with my relationship with her. As you know I had that nasty divorce and have had some bad opinions of men for awhile, though I'm slowly pulling up my big girl panties and facing some of my own shortcomings. Right now Stephie and I are good for each other. We're what each of us needs. Sure we have sex, and to us it's great in its own way, but it's more an emotional relationship than physical. Would I make love to a man again? The right man, the right time and so forth and of course I would, and I do miss that kind of relationship sometimes. Am I being too vague?"

"I really do understand what you're saying. I'm not one to say this or that is right or wrong. What you do is what you do and I love you period."

"Would you believe that I had a guy...not all that long ago in fact, tell me he knew I was gay and wanted to know if I was the guy or the woman in the relationship. Have you ever heard how well I can cuss and tear into somebody if I lose control? I tore him a new ass. Of course he probably decided I was definitely the man of the relationship."

"Stupid fool and I'm sorry you even had to deal with that."

"Thanks but life goes on. By the way, Stephie doesn't see you as a pervert. She likes you and are you ready for this? She thinks you have definite potential as an artist or a photographer."

"Seriously? Now that's encouraging. Will you and Stephie want to see what I come up with?"

"Well of course we will, and I promise not to be an ass."

"Thanks."

"Before I put my clothes on...holy...my God listen to that."

He smiled and said, "Before you put your clothes on and now that we're done, I want you to know that you have one hell of a nice body, and believe me when I say I've seen a lot of naked women lately. You have incredible breasts and I'm totally blown away that I never really realized that before."

"I have a tendency to hide them."

"You really shouldn't. Most women would kill to have breasts like yours and most men would love to get their hands on breasts like yours. Anyway, I wanted you to know that, and I have to tell you how damn gutsy you are and I love you. I want to know where you found the panties and bra you're wearing so I can have Nila get some like that. Pure sexy. But also you have to know that you are hot. Whatever your lifestyle, you are all woman from toes to titties," and he smiled at her.

"You're just horny."

"Don't tell anybody that I got horny and hard because of my sister. That wouldn't play well in Pittsburg."

She laughed and said, "That wouldn't play well anywhere, and that will be our secret. Okay so my question to you before I go is, do you really want to photograph Stephie or were you being kind?"

"I'd love to work with her. I'd love to work with both of you as a couple, but that can't be and we know that. Yes, if it comes up tell her I asked about her. I think she and I could create some good things."

"If Nila approves of the idea."

"I'm certain she would be very open to the idea."

"Especially if you tell Nila about Stephie and me."

"I'll leave that for you to tell her or not as you choose."

"Thanks Brother. She just may agree to it. For the fun and excitement if nothing else, and of course for some time to talk about cameras and so forth with you."

They stood up and shared a long embrace and a light kiss before she said, "It's time for me to go for sure."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to spear you."

"Damn doesn't he ever go down?"

"He came back up the instant you stood up and I looked at your cute ass in those panties."

"Oh God, I have to get out of here."

"Put your clothes on first Sis."

She smiled and said, "Now stop that," and she quickly pulled her shorts on and slipped on her blouse as she turned and he followed her out.

Stopping at the door she said, "If you ever need help like this again, I suggest you call rent a model. I'm going to be awhile working this out in my mind."

"I'll call Stephie."

She stopped halfway to her car and turned around smiling. "By the way you were right, I'm not pregnant."

"See, I knew you'd be safe."

"That remains to be seen. Love you," and she got into her car and backed out as he closed the door.

Chapter Seventy

Nila was there not long after Kate left, and after they shared a long hug and a kiss he said, "Damn I'm glad you said you'd be here with me. I've missed you."

"You have so much going on I'm surprised you'd have time to miss me."

"Well I did. You just missed Kate by about half an hour."

"How is she doing?"

"Fine as near as I can tell. She posed for me for an hour so I could practice a few things."

"That's nice of her...dressed of course since she's your Sister."

"Bra, panties and heels."

"Oh Owen, was that smart?"

"It was fine honey, we weren't even close to each other until we sat on the patio and talked. I really enjoyed just sitting there with her like that."

"But how could she help any better than anybody else?"

"Because she and I could stop and discuss poses or shadows. I could never do that with the other women. I have to at least appear to have a grasp on what the hell I'm doing. With Kate it was like she'd stop me and say, this or that will seem awkward or whatever. It was like a rehearsal."

"I see your point but...I'll do that for you the next time okay?"

He smiled and said, "Oh baby, that's far beyond okay. That's fantastic."

"I was hoping you still wanted to pose me."

"Only more than anything, but with you I'd want naked and daring."

"So you have Marcie, Ethan, Kiley and Candy lined up now."

"And maybe Stephie."

"Who?"

"Stephie, Kate's best friend."

"I've never met her."

"I hadn't either, but I did yesterday and she indicated interest, but stopped at maybe. Then today Kate said Stephie was still thinking about it."

"You'll wear yourself and your camera out."

"Get this though, Stephie knows a little about cameras and such and when I showed her a few I've done she was impressed and was very complimentary."

"Which may have something to do with wanting to work with you."

"Maybe so. Want to see the test shots I have?"

"We have about twenty minutes, is that enough?"

"I'll slow down at the good ones and skip a few of them."

Before he started she told him, "I'm going to be a harsh critic."

"Okay, thanks for warning me," and they went through images until the were running out of time. He kissed her cheek and said, "Well you warned me, and I have to agree with a lot of what you said."

"But all in all, I have to agree with Stephie. You're doing some good work, and especially so considering you haven't been at this very long at all."

"I learned quite a bit by watching Scott."

She smiled and said, "I'm sure he'll enjoy hearing that."

"But I'm hoping for more emotion than I'm getting. I'm improving on the mechanics of posing, but I want more passion. I want somebody to look and say, "Damn I can feel the heat or the intensity."

"I think you're on the right track though."

"I hope so."

"That must be Ethan at the door."

He kissed her and asked, "Are you ready honey?"

"Are you ready for me to stare at his cock and balls?" and she smiled at him."

"Nice, talking dirty already."

"Only to you honey. I'll wait in the living room."

A minute later Owen and Ethan returned, and Nila took a breath, smiled and said, "It's nice to see you again Ethan."

"Nice to see you too Nila, you look very nice."

"Thank you. Did it take you long to recover from that wild wedding?"

He smiled and said, "It took a couple of days. Not from the physical demands, but from what I saw and felt and heard from the other staff. "That group was pretty out of control."

"I had to leave, but from what I hear and what I did see, I have to agree with you. But that's for them to deal with now right?"

He smiled and said, "That's right. Me along with the others are a little like rock stars in our circle of friends. They don't know where we were, but they do know what happened, and the questions still continue about what happened when or who with and that sort of thing."

"Your time of fame."

"Right. I'd do it again in an instant too."

Nila smiled and said, "I can understand that. I was even a touch sad that I missed as much as I did." What she said was stretching it slightly, but after the fact she thought about everything and did have moments where she wished she could have witnessed more.

"It looks like you brought quite a bit for us to look at Ethan," Owen said.

"I did. You know, if a woman wants to dress a little differently or she wants to cause a sensation, she has many options. Guys? Not so much. We're dressed, sort of dressed or naked and not much variation in any of those situations. Anyway, I went on line and blew a few bucks, and had things shipped express. If nothing else I'm satisfying my curiosity, and I'll end up with some interesting articles of...I'm not even sure they qualify as clothing, but I guess they do."

"Do you have any questions Ethan," Nila asked him.

"I don't think so. I'll basically pose as you direct me Owen."

"Right, but if you want to experiment a little as well, say put your hand someplace else or something like that, give it a try. If something feels wrong, like nobody would stand like that, say so, and we'll try something else. We're not recreating the world. We want to have fun, even laugh a little."

"But you're goal is erotica right?"

"That's right. The sensual tease, the subtle unspoken message of passion in it's infancy."

"Would you like me to start with the least revealing?"

"That would be good," Owen said without looking at Nila and she managed to smile at Ethan. "You can just step around the corner to change."

"Sure, okay."

Chapter Seventy One

Owen took Nila's hand and led her to the loveseat saying, "Judging from his bag, he has several things to show us."

"Just stay very close to me honey. I saw him in his thong at the wedding, but that was then and that was from across the room. This is just the three of us and I'll be just feet away from him. I have to look and I know that but...I know I'll look into his eyes."

"I know. Just hold my hand and before you know it, seeing him nearly naked will become no big deal."

"That remains to be seen."

Ethan appeared and he stood before them. "This one is the least revealing. It's a low rise brief from Baskit, but when I turn around you'll see that it's more like a thong. Really different and fairly comfortable, but no doubt too concealing for your needs. I wanted to buy it and see what it was like so I brought it along."
