An Audition Tape

He bent over to reach into the open duffle bag he had placed at the foot of the couch, then watched Jessica’s face to see her reaction as he pulled out a small, modern camera. Her eyes widened and her lips tightened as she realized that her ordeal was going to be filmed as well, yet she did not protest. He deliberately took his time and moved slowly as he switched the camera on with a small ‘beep’.

“Now, let’s get to your audition tape,” he smirked, pointing the camera at the actress and pressing the recording button, “Please introduce yourself.”

Jessica made a small whining sound as she was being filmed like this, dressed in her underwear and posing like a slut in the middle of her own living room, but she quickly composed herself. He could see her throat roll as she briefly swallowed, then the conflicted emotions disappeared from her face and her features relaxed.

“Hello, my name is Jessica Alba,” she introduced herself. Her voice was almost matter-of-factly with not even a hint of discomfort as she looked straight into the lens of the camera. “I am auditioning for the role of Nancy in ‘Ruby Moon’.”

“Perfect!” Sean nodded, “Now, give me a smile!”

There was the briefest of twitches playing across Jessica’s face, but then her lips curled and she flashed her teeth in a wide red-carpet-smile, perfectly honed over years in the limelight.

“Now, Jessica, what qualifies you for this role?”

He let the question hang in the room, watching her mind work a little to form a reply. He knew that this was out of left-field, she had expected him to fuck her and not give a serious case for why she was the best person to get the role. But to her credit, it took her a lot less time than he had anticipated before she spoke and her voice sounded convincing and firm.

“I think I am the best person for the role because of what I have proven in all my years in the show business.” She started. “I can do action, like I have done in ‘Dark Angel’ and ‘Trigger Warning’, I can do humor, like in ‘Machete’ and the ‘Love Guru’ and I can do serious roles, which I have done in ‘The Eye’ for example. In ‘Sin City’ alone, I have showed that I can be both the action star and the damsel in distress while at the same time portraying the grief and emotional trauma of losing a loved one. In ‘The Killer Inside Me’ I did a serious drama that explored themes similar to ‘Ruby Moon’, dealing with bondage, S&M and the depths of human depravity. I am hard-working and motivated and I bring a recognizable name that would sell well on the posters.”

“Right,” Sean nodded after a short pause to emphasize the heft of the moment. Then, a sly grin spread across his face. “Also, because you are the nastiest MILF-slut in the business, right?”

Jessica looked like she had been slapped in the face after she had briefly lost herself in her professional acumen and she grunted a little as she almost instinctively wanted to protest. Instead, she regained her composure, her voice shaking just the tiniest bit. “Yeah,” she confirmed.

“Say it!”

It took some overcoming, but after a few, long seconds, Jessica beamed her smile straight into the lens of the camera. “Also, because I am the nastiest MILF-slut in the business!”
