Living room.

The sound seemed like it came from the living room. Wandering to where their voices came from, I rounded the corner only to be met by another barrage of camera flashes.

"Yes! Now that's what we wanted to see."

"Smile captain, you look HAWT!"

"Mama like!"

I blushed at their commentary from behind their camera phones. "This wasn't part of the deal!"

Scarlet looked up from her phone and gave me an alluring smile. "These pictures are just for us. Besides you look so cool wearing your full uniform from your swimming days we just had to preserve the image." She fluttered her eyes flirtatiously and I smiled crookedly despite myself. "However, if you do a few poses and you let me share these pics with my sister I could probably convince her to pay you extra for them. Might help you on your way to getting your own place and help pay for college."

I had to think this over a bit. Ruby already had nude photos of me; how are a few swimsuit pics going to hurt? Plus, Scarlet had a point, I could always use the money. Taking a deep breath, I relented.

"Alright, take as many pictures as you want. But when you show them to Ruby let her know I want to do less nudes and be compensated for any submissions."

"I will run it by her." Scarlet and her friends circled me to get a shot of different angles. I was extremely nervous. Though you would think I might be prepared for this, posing half-naked for pictures just isn't my cup of tea. I closed my eyes for a second and decided to channel my inner Rorke. My dear friend loved attention, especially from pretty girls who were taking his picture. I **** a smile on my face and flexed my biceps as ostentatiously as shame would permit me. The cameras went off. SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!

Shaking, I planted my fists on my hips and spread my legs apart in order to look heroic. SNAP! SNAP! I then tried different exercises and poses I once caught Rorke perform for himself in the mirror. I did a few squats, arm stretches, and whatever I thought looked cool.

"There you go Santiago, now you're really getting into it." Scarlet clicked away on her phone as my cheeks remained pink the whole time. Incredible how this girl can get me to do anything she wanted.
