Chapter 3: The New Couple

Although she thought it never would, Saturday finally came around. There were no more sports fixtures this term, so she cycled straight up to Mark’s house with her evening clothes in her backpack. He opened the door for her, and they were immediately locked in a tight embrace, kissing each other madly.

“I’ve missed you!” he greeted her.

“It was torture having to wait all week to get a proper kiss” she replied.

He got them both drinks and led her into the TV room. He sat next to her on the sofa in front of the TV and could not resist another kiss. She laughed. “Show me the assignment!” He connected his laptop to the TV via the house WiFi network and played the seven photos as a slideshow.

She gasped “You make me look so good! Can I look at them more slowly please?”

“Sure, but it’s not just to make you look good, which you do, but how well do you think it captures the girl behind the portrait?”

“It’s really me, including the funny expressions. You’ve sort of captured who I am.”

He went through each shot, one at a time and she was amazed.

“Brilliant!” Emma enthused, then after a little hesitation “Remember I said I wouldn’t do the getting up and going to bed shots, well I think they would be really good. It would make it into a ‘day in the life of the girl in the portrait’ which I guess was your original idea.”

“Exactly!” he replied enthusiastically. “Come and help me move some lights into the bedroom.”

They went up to the studio and moved three lights and diffusers down to the guest bedroom.

“What do you normally wear in bed?” Mark asked.

“Just a t-shirt and sometimes my panties” she replied, excited that she had an excuse to tease him in her tiny panties.

“Well I don’t think I would get away with a picture of a girl with no panties!” he laughed as he was setting up the lights and his camera on the tripod.

“I wasn’t offering to pose without them!” she exclaimed as she shimmied out of her tight little shorts and took her trainer socks off.

“Can we do the getting into bed shot first, then I can mess up my hair for the morning shot?” Emma asked.

“OK. Could you walk up the side bed and get into it, just like you would at night” he asked. “Maybe you could leave your t-shirt under the covers and put it on just before you get in.”

Her eyes went wide “Really!”, not sure if she could trust him or herself if she only had her tiny panties on with him in the bedroom.

“I would only be shooting from behind you, so you wouldn’t be flashing your boobs at the camera.”

“OK” she said a bit reluctantly, but excited to be nearly naked in front of him. “Don’t get any ideas though, I’m not ready to go all the way” adding quietly “Yet”.

She took her t-shirt off and placed it in the bed, then put the bed covers back in place. She then went to the bottom of the bed while he adjusted and dimmed the lights then repositioned his camera tripod. She did like his big beaming smile as he ogled her tits when she walked past.

“Whenever you’re ready” he told her and she walked along the side of the bed. His camera was in burst mode as she bent over to lift the covers, sticking her pretty little bottom in the air as she did. She reached for her t-shirt and put it on before sliding under the covers and pulling them up, pursing her lips as if looking for a goodnight kiss.

“Wow! Can I jump in with you?” he asked.

“No! I told you I’m not ready” she sulked.

“Sorry, but you’re unbelievably sexy”.

“S’OK. I do like you thinking I’m sexy, even if I can’t see why you do.”

“OK. Now can we do the getting up shot please?” he asked.

She messed up her hair, pulled the bed covers partly off and lay on her side, resting on her shoulder as if she was getting up. She rucked up her t-shirt as she stretched exposing her panties.

He looked up from his camera. “My god Emma, I’d really like to wake up in the morning with you next to me looking like that!”

“Don’t rush things” she replied. “Now get on with the photo.”

He eventually tore his eyes away, adjusted the lights and focussed his camera. After a few shots, he got her to try slightly different positions and eventually said “You can relax now Emma, I’ve got some great shots.”
