This is the fourth part of a series exploring an artist delighting in the female form. The story includes a 'first time'. For those who last long enough there will also be some incest, but that is all ... yet to come.
Everyone engaged in sexual activity in this story is at least 18 years old.
.......................
Steve, an artist, advertised for models to be part of a project. They have been offered $2000 for a two hour session. When they respond they find out that the artist wants to take photos of their pussies for an artistic project. Grace, Steve's wife is fully supportive and involved. Susan was the first one to respond and after the photo shoot the three of them ended up in bed together. Grace became the second model. The next two were a prostitute and a senior citizen. Both were startling in different ways. Here we meet the fifth and sixth who enter the studio together.
.......................
Violet and Pearl.
"What do you think you are doing? What is this place?? Why are you taking advantage of this woman?!?"
Steve was dumbfounded by the sudden savage verbal attack. He had been expecting to welcome the intriguing and surprisingly eager 93 year old woman who had responded to the advertisement. Now he was being lambasted by this fiery woman who had burst through the door to the studio.
He then noticed another woman entering behind the first. At one glance he could see that they were related. Sisters? No. the second one was clearly the older. Both were short, barely 4 foot 5, very dark cropped hair, both dressed in almost severe, yet clearly expensive, tailored clothing.
The younger woman continued her tirade. "How dare you lure defenceless women here with offers of a large payment. Who are you! I want to call the police immediately!!"
This last comment sent a chill down Steve's spine. Of course there was nothing illegal in what he was doing but the whole situation would take some explaining and he really did not want police turning up at his studio. The older woman intervened quickly though. A hand gesture told the younger one to 'Be quiet. Calm down.' "Sir, you will have to excuse my daughter for her rudeness. She does not understand. She is very protective of me but she also wants to control what I do. But no one will control me." There was a flash of fire in her eyes with this last statement.
The older woman turned to the younger and said simply "Sit there. Wait. This is my choice. My decision. Not yours. Just sit and be quiet for once."
The younger woman sat but a dark cloud was almost tangibly visible over her head. The older woman turned again to Steve and held out a hand, rough with decades of hard work, the skin almost translucent with age. Yet her grip was firm and confident. "My name is Violet. This is my youngest daughter, Pearl. Her task in life has been to take care of me on behalf of the family but sometimes she forgets her place. Please forgive us this disruption."
Both mother and daughter were clearly ethnically Chinese, though both of their accents were broadly Australian. Steve was intrigued and began to wonder (as he had during at least two of the previous sessions) whether some life story or personal context may be able to be included alongside the photographs. These women who were allowing him to photograph their pussies were far more than their anatomy, obviously. Yet he had assured them all of anonymity and to include more than very basic details would be an intrusion which may have identified them. So he held that thought again.
Releasing the firm handshake and smiling at Violet Steve gestured to the lounge. Once they were all seated he thanked her for responding to the invitation and for being prepared to be part of the project. He explained the overall concept, in particular the diversity which he was hoping to record across ages and ethnicities. He felt almost embarrassed to mention that but Violet seemed to understand completely.
"Yes, I see," she said. You wish to show the effect of aging and the fact that the pussies of many women are both similar yet each unique. In bath houses I have observed a great diversity yet I think that with only nine pussies being shown you will only have an opportunity to touch, how do you say, the tip of the iceberg."
"Mother!" Pearl erupted with outrage and embarrassment. "Can we not get this done and then leave as quickly as possible?! Do you really need to sit her discussing such intimate matters with this man??"
Steve had no idea what Pearl actually said because she had spoken in Cantonese. Yet he could tell that Pearl was reprimanding her mother and was feeling deeply uncomfortable.
Violet hushed her daughter with a hand gesture again and then ignored her again. "Please Sir, you will have to excuse my daughter yet again. She has never married. As I said her life has been devoted to caring for me and she has never known a man. She finds all matters of intimacy to be deeply embarrassing. Please forgive her. We will ignore her now and we will proceed."
"You may be wondering why I have agreed to be part of this project" she said with an eyebrow raised. "My family has been in this country for six generations, longer than many who now consider themselves Australian. Our esteemed ancestor, Lee Ping, came to this country from mainland China in pursuit of the New Gold Mountain, the time of the gold rushes in the middle of the nineteenth century. He quickly realised that there were other ways to seek wealth and set up kitchens providing food to the miners. From that humble beginning our family has grown and prospered."
"The family values wealth but holds that resource very tightly. My revered husband is a man of firm convictions and he also likes to think that he controls me."
