2 .
Alanis didn’t know what was worse, the fact that she was dressed up a skimpy bikini taking photos while her neighbor had been watching her from his window, or the idea that he could tell Todd about it.
Not like she or Todd had met any of their neighbors yet, but if they were both doing yard work at the same time one day and decided to strike up a conversation...
“Hey Alanis, you alright?” Hena asked and motioned with her head towards Jake, the photographer.
“Oh, yeah.” Alanis shook her head, placed her hands on her hips, and struck a pose next to the Japanese girl.
The photographer kneeled and snapped a few more photos. Behind him, Disha was looking up at the house behind them, clearly also having noticed the neighbor watching, and kept her eyes on the house as if hoping to catch him peeking again.
“I hope that old perv enjoyed the show.” The Indian girl muttered after Jake finished taking a round of photos.
“He’s probably harmless.” Alanis tried to brush it off, but the look Disha gave her told her that she clearly wasn’t buying it.
“Tell him to subscribe to my fan page, the least he can do is pay us if he’s gonna gawk.” Disha laughed.
“I think that would be a little too close to home.” Alanis laughed.
As the other two girls talked, Hena was standing with Jake as he showed her the photos, completely oblivious to what was happening around her. Alanis was about to open her mouth to ask how the photos looked when she heard a strange sound.
Voices, female voices, laughter and giggling, and it was coming from the neighbor’s yard.
She looked over at Disha, who also heard the sound too, and both girls flashed each other a confused look, and then they stepped towards the overgrown fence that separated both properties.
They were tiptoeing, as if expecting to scare off whatever nymphs were bathing in the neighbor’s backyard.
It occurred to Alanis how ridiculous they must look clad in red, white, and blue bikinis.
They peered through a gape in the foliage, and both of their jaws dropped as they were greeted with the sight of three bathing beauties.
Nymphs might be right. Alanis realized, gawking at the three women in her neighbors yard.
There was a dark haired, curvy Asian girl in black string thong bikini, as well as thin but athletic looking blond girl, and a full figured, dazzling black girl emerging from the pool.
“Sean, where’s that lemonade?” The Asian demanded, reclining a beach chair while the other two giggled.
Alanis and Disha shared a confused look.
“Is your neighbor a player?” Disha asked.
“Anything is possible.” Alanis shrugged.
She only caught a brief glimpse, but he looked alright for a guy his age. His hair was salt and pepper, though his grays were starting to win out, and he had a slight “dad bod” but still was somewhat thin.
“Just saying.” Disha giggled.
“More like he’s probably paying top dollar.” Alanis surmised.
“If he can afford those girls, he can afford my fan page.” Disha nudged Alanis, who nudged her back and giggled.
It didn’t make sense, if the dude could afford to have three girls that looked like supermodels over at his place, why was he creeping on her from back yard window? Unless he was just a world class perv.
Then Alanis heard a sound that made her heart stop cold in her chest…
A car pulling up to her driveway.
“Shit, it’s Todd!” She hissed, hurrying away from the fence and back towards Jake and Hena.
“Shit, you have to go, now!” She barked at them, Disha rushing over at her side.
“Wait, what?” Hena stammered.
“Todd is home, he’ll kill us if he finds us dressed like this!”
“Oh shit!” Hena cried.
“Wait, I just can’t, my lights!” Jake cried, but already Disha and Hena were jumping into action, helping him break down the two lights set up in the yard.
Alanis looked down at herself and rushed to the sliding door leading into the house.
“I’ll distract him!” She called to her friends before slipping inside.
She pulled the curtain that covered the sliding door shut and spun around just as her boyfriend stepped through the door, briefcase in hand. His jaw dropped at the sight of his girlfriend in the skimpy bikini.
“Alanis… what are you doing dressed like that!” He blurted in his soft southern twang.
“I… It was a beautiful day so I was sitting by the pool.” She smiled.
“Well… someone could have seen you with all of your… everything out!” He set his briefcase down and removed his suit jacket.
“It’s fine, we have a sheltered yard.”
“Here…” He hurried over and put his jacket around her shoulders.
“Todd, I’m fine.” She sighed.
“Not running around like that! What if the neighbors saw you!”
She sighed again. While most men would kill to be dating a buff redhead with massive boobs, Todd seemed to hate the sight of her figure, and if he could have his way, would probably keep her locked up in the house all day.
“Seriously, it’s fine.” She removed the jacket and handed it back to him.
“Where did you even get a swimsuit like that? Did Disha or Hena get it for you?” He demanded.
He wasn’t too far off the mark. Alanis had met Hena back in college.
An acting major, Hena had taken to posing for friend’s photo shoots as a way to earn money during college.
The two became fast friends, and then Alanis met Disha, Hena’s roommate.
Disha was a fitness nut who spent most of her free hours in the gym.
A few years ago, Hena encouraged the other two to start modeling with her.
Eventually, the two started a fan page and were encouraging Alanis to start her own as well, but she had been hesitant.
“I saw it at the store and thought it was cute.” Alanis did a twirl and caught Todd’s eyes almost bulge out of his skull.
“Well go upstairs and get into something decent for dinner.” He stalked towards the kitchen.
Alanis hurried in front of him.
“What were you thinking for dinner? I’ll start on it.” She smiled and batted her eyes at him.
“We can discuss this after you get into something decent.” He sighed and tried to step around her.
“Or we can go out, it’s such a beautiful day!” She cried and turned around to lean over the sink and look out the kitchen window.
Todd huffed and turned away from the sight of her muscular buttocks devouring the patriotic thong. As Alanis looked out the window, she saw that the backyard was completely clear. She turned away and stalked into the living room.
“Go get some clothes on, and then we can have this discussion.” He grumbled, undoing his tie.
Alanis glanced out the front window and saw Hena and Disha, still in costume, ushering Jake into his car along with his equipment. Once he was in, they hurried into their car. Breathing a sigh of relief, she turned to her boyfriend.
“Sure thing.” With that, she bounded up the stairs to the bedroom.
Once in the bed room, she noticed her phone lying on her bed, and there were several notifications on the screen. One was a text from Todd telling her he would be home early.
Well there it is. She sighed.
She took her time changing out of the bikini into jeans and a long sleeve shirt. Todd hated her wearing anything too revealing.
Why are you even with that guy? She heard Disha’s voice in her head.
Todd hadn’t always been like this. Once he was funny, charming, and didn’t seem to care what she wore.
In fact, they had met on vacation at a beach resort, both of them had been wearing swimsuits.
Both had been out of school a few years, with Todd pursuing a career in finance while Alanis was working as a personal trainer.
He was from Phoenix while she lived in Miami, and they had done things long distance for a year, taking long weekends to visit each other, before he decided to move out her way since there seemed plenty of opportunities for him.
No sooner had the two of them decided that than Todd got a job at a great investment firm, and it was after that was when he changed, becoming obsessed with climbing the corporate ladder.
When they went out, Todd didn’t want Alanis wearing anything too flashy or “revealing” as he put it for fear that it would jeopardize his rise to the top.
At one point, Alanis mentioned to him about getting into modeling and having a fan page like Disha and Hena and she thought that Todd might have had an aneurism right then and there. He absolutely forbid it.
“Have you thought about what this would do if the higher ups found out my girlfriend was posing nude?” His jaw was agape.
Despite her attempts to explain to him that it wasn’t like that, he wouldn’t listen.
Still, she had always been proud of her body, and had done modeling work since she got into fitness.
She still did shoots with Disha and Hena on the condition they didn’t use her name, which they agreed to.
There had been times when she had thought about giving up modeling, but she felt alive in front of the camera, she felt like she could be herself in front of the lens, clad in her sexiest outfits.
“He’s just insecure, he knows you’re a hottie.” Disha shrugged when Alanis had told her about Todd’s issues with her showing off her body.
She hated to admit that her friend was right. Like a lot of men, Todd had scored what he thought was a woman out of his league, and was desperate to keep her, and that meant keeping other men’s eyes off of her.
Other men’s eyes…
She looked out the bedroom window at the house behind them. If Todd found out that the neighbor had been peeping at her then he might go over there and tear the guy limb from limb…
Todd seemed in a dark humor as she sat down at the table to join him.
“I see you changed into something more sensible.” He remarked at her attire.
“How was work today,” Alanis dolled out mashed potatoes onto her plate. “You were home early.”
“Yes, I wanted to speak to you about that. There’s been some changes at the office.” He didn’t meet her gaze, but took a long sip from his glass of wine.
“Oh?” She froze, suddenly losing her appetite.
“There’s been some… restructuring. As a result, I had to take a different position in the company. There will be some new responsibilities for me, but as a result, I’ll be working from home more often.”
It took all her self control not to drop her fork. Alanis stiffened, set her utensil down, and cleared her throat.
“Oh, working from home?” She asked.
“Yes indeed, no more commute for me.” He shrugged.
“No, probably not,” She avoided his gaze. “How long will you be working from home?”
“Oh I imagine indefinitely.” He shrugged and grabbed the bowl of potatoes.
“Could this lead to the promotion you’ve been after?” She asked.
“It’s a lateral move,” He shrugged. “If I do well in this position, it will impress them.”
“If you get that promotion...” She started.
He put down his fork and waited.
“Could I maybe… get back into modeling?”
Todd’s jaw dropped.
“Just tasteful stuff, you know? Nothing like a fan page or whatever like the other girls, I just… you know… miss it.”
“Honey, I’m trying to be a department manager. They aren’t going to promote me when my girlfriend is running with,” He mimed having boobs. “Everything hanging out.”
“I’ll use a pseudonym-”
“No…”
“Make photographers sign contracts -”
“No!
“But Todd!”
“Isn’t personal training enough! We make a good living already! Why do you have to… you know…”He mimed having massive boobs again.
Alanis’s appetite had all but vanished. She didn’t even taste her food, and then excused herself upstairs. Once up there, she threw herself onto the bed and screamed into a pillow.
Once she was finished, she sat up and caught a look at herself in a full length mirror on the wall. Even with her hair tussled from screaming and clad in a unflattering shirt and pants, she was hot.
Hell yeah, I am hot.
She sat up, smoothed out her hair, and took off her shirt. Her breasts were immaculate, already naturally large, but she had some enhancements as well. Then she slipped off her jeans and admired her solid, sculpted rear end.
She was a catch, and maybe it was time that she reminded Todd of that.
She thought of the neighbor gawking at her and the other girls, and an idea began forming in her mind.
Maybe if Todd wanted to keep her covered up because he was afraid of her catching another guy, maybe she would show him that his insecurities were having the opposite effect.
It was time to show some skin. Promotion be damned.
