An Evening with Friends 04 -- CFNM Night
I had noticed something niggling at Claire a little. It did not seem like anything huge, and it was definitely not something I had done wrong, as I would certainly have known, but she seemed a little distracted.
In the end, I decided to confront her about it.
'Come on, tell me', I requested over dinner one evening.
She looked at me, deciding whether to bluff it out or come clean. She was notoriously bad at lying, and she knew it, which might have helped her reach her decision. As she looked at me, as if she had been caught in the act of sneakily eating a box of chocolates without telling me, her shoulders slumped and she confessed.
'It's nothing. Just me being silly. I can't tell you, but it's something Emma wants me to do for next Saturday'.
I gave what I was sure would be the right response.
'Well, tell her how you feel. These evenings aren't about feeling uncomfortable, they're about fun. And new experiences, of course.'
'I've told her,' replied Claire, 'but it's really just me. Honestly. It's nothing I don't want to do or anything, just... well... a bit tricky to sort out. Leave me with it and I'll sort it'.
She still did not look overconfident, so I offered a parting morsel of reassurance.
'Promise you'll tell me if it's not so easy to sort out. I don't mind messaging David and having a few words. Emma can be a bit pushy, we both know that. If it's going to be a big problem, we can always pull back.'
'No.' Claire was adamant. 'No way. I'll sort it and it won't be a problem. Now shut up about it and let's eat'.
For a few more days, Claire remained a little 'off', but suddenly, her disposition changed, and she was herself again. It was quite a relief, as it was not only the slight change in disposition, which was suffering, but also our sex life.
Of course, we maintained a healthy quantity of sex, but Claire's recent vivacity and desire to experiment had seemed a little impaired, as if she was desperate to reaffirm our love, which was wonderful, but which had usually been combined with a healthy level of kinkiness and a desire to try some of our more 'creative' activities. Not a huge worry, but something different, and where Claire was concerned, different did not mean good.
Still, once her problem seemed resolved, so her experimentation returned, and several days before our next meeting with our friends, she suggested we went out for a walk.
We drove out to one of our favourite places, a mostly disused stately home with woods surrounding a lake in which the carp thrived, along with ducks and swans. During the week, when kids were in school, it was largely deserted, and on warm days such as this one, we loved the solitude and the chance to get off the beaten track.
Having parked in the empty car park, we walked for a while, chatting casually, while I took photographs of the flora and fauna. As a photographer, I was rarely without my camera, and this location had such a range of plants and wildlife, which changed and evolved throughout the year that images would be different every time.
Suddenly, Claire turned off the path, and headed through the leafy trees to a beautiful area which we had discovered on a previous visit.
One side was blocked off by an old wall, clearly from a partly demolished building, as it contained eye-like holes where windows had once been and a fireplace, which had once boasted a stone mantlepiece. All around were thick trees. Even in Winter it was difficult to see from the path, but now, on a fine Summer day, it was invisible. I had once persuaded Claire to strip off and allow me to photograph her there, and we had produced a beautiful set of images, one of which hung proudly in our bedroom.
'Give me the camera,' she demanded.
There was nothing odd about the request, as she often took over from me, partly because I had given her plenty of advice about photography, and she often spotted opportunities which I missed, and partly because if I took all the pictures, I would never be in any of them, and that make for very unbalanced family photos displayed around the house. Therefore, I did not think twice before handing the camera to her.
'Stand there,' she directed, 'lean on the fireplace.'
She snapped off several images, then stopped and looked at me.
'Take off your shirt.'
'Er... why?' I asked, surprised.
'Well,' Claire whispered seductively, 'if we're doing CFNM, might as well get you used to it.'
I smiled broadly at her, and began to feel a twitch in my boxers. CFNM with Claire might be no big deal, but here, outdoors with the risk, albeit slight, of being seen, it was still a turn on.
I removed my shirt, and found myself treated as I treated the models I worked with -- directed, posed and generally organised, while Claire moved around me, snapping shot after shot.
'Shoes and socks, then unbutton your jeans and slip them off slowly, so I get pics as they come off.'
I complied, now feeling very naked in this public place, and yet, almost wanting someone to happen along and catch us. Not that I would want to offend anyone, of course -- ideally, it would be a couple of young ladies out for a stroll who would come and join in -- but that just wasn't going to happen, except in my fantasy.
Claire began directing again.
'Turn round and slip your boxers down -- slowly again -- and bend right over,' she drawled the last part to emphasise that I should bend as much as possible, 'show your ass and bend to let the cheeks open as wide as possible.'
I did as requested, sliding my shorts steadily down my legs, bending at the waist and feeling the breeze between my buttocks as they parted, giving her a glimpse of my asshole.
'Spread your legs wide,' she ordered, 'I'm moving down there to get pics of your ass and your balls from underneath.'
She did as she said, moving close to get images of me from directly between my legs. I had never photographed a model as closely as this -- except Claire, of course, but it was an interesting lesson in how models are treated -- and Claire was the consummate pro.
'Turn round and lie on the grass, lean up on your elbow and bend your back leg up.' I did as she asked, now stark naked and loving the feel of sun on my body, and the risks inherent in the situation. I also became acutely aware that if someone should appear, it was not as if I could cover up quickly and make it seem as if nothing were happening. The best I could do would be to wear my boxers and a sheepish smile.
