Chapter 36 – Sexy Shots
xXx
Over the next few weeks, Eric, Brooke and Jackie completed most of the calendar shots. Jackie and Brooke were Christmas Elves with emerald green frames which Jackie looked positively cute in and Brooke was charming.
The girls wore tube tops and posed provocatively on a white bear skin rug looking as nude as possible while wearing a sapphire studded frame. The white fur against the brilliant blue was another money shot.
Brooke became the sexy librarian on a ladder with the tortoise shell colored frames and Jackie was a uniformed student handing her books. Money shot!
Eric didn't know how he did it, but the tube tops were in play again as the girls pretended to frolic in a bathtub full of fake bubbles. Brooke wore the tortoise shell frames and Jackie wore some glasses that looked like chipped opals. The bubbles were a great light reflector and this was going to either be a porn centerfold or his greatest money shot.
"Okay ladies. Tomorrow is our last shoot. I need the microscope, some Petri dishes, a Bunsen burner and a lab coat." Brooke wrote down the required items and smiled at her friend. "Tomorrow is the diamond frames. God, they are so beautiful! Then I have to sadly give them back."
Eric looked up from his filters. "No, you get to fly them back to Maxine."
Brooke gasped. "NO! That woman is impossible."
Jackie was laughing but Eric replied, "Get used to her….she's my agent and you are my assistant." Jackie smiled, "Brooke, how much of a hardship is it to fly on a business jet and get spoiled for the day?"
Brooke hung her head. "It's not a hardship. Maxine just never shuts up. Well, at least I can get a good nap on the flight over!"
Eric tucked the camera in his leather bag. "That's my prop master talking. Good girl! See you tomorrow."

Eric woke up the next morning with Jackie curled up against his chest. He was so positively in love with her it seemed like life really started when he came back home. He never told his parents about their relationship but his folks loved Jackie enough that words weren't necessary.
He was excited about the diamonds today. He knew exactly how he wanted the set to look and what she would wear and he wanted to start shooting now!
Jackie woke up to butterfly kisses on her shoulders and on the inside of her elbow. A strong hand rolled her over and combed fingers through her hair, "Mmmm..." She murmured. "I could get used to this." She sighed.
Eric chuckled, "Hey sleepyhead, I need you to shower and wear your pink lingerie today. The camera wants a peek at it."
She opened one sleepy eye. "Really…the camera? The camera's a perv!" Eric laughed and pulled her out of bed. "I've already made coffee so hurry up and I'll make toast."
Jackie walked to the bathroom. "Just don't set my kitchen on fire."
"Ha ha!" he laughed ironically. It wasn't so long ago he almost burnt up his kitchen! It seemed like a lifetime ago that he remembered Jackie saying, "…you have to start getting used to living in Point Place "You're home now."

The set lighting was perfect. His studio looked like a mini laboratory. Brooke was an expert at setting up the lighting and the mirrors. She had a Bunsen burner plugged in and some bubbling colored liquid was reacting to the dry ice creating a pink fog that wisped the set with little fingers or color.
Petri dishes were stacked haphazardly and Brooke had put colored candies in the dishes to replicate science projects. The microscope was perfect and placed so the metallic parts reflected the light which would make the frames sparkle.
Brooke had gone to the safe to bring out the pride of the eye glass collection. Eric handed her a lab coat. "Brooke, I'm going to ask you to go first and remember all the focus in on the frames. I've got Jackie to agree to just wear the lab coat and a bra so if you want to put on the tube top that's great."
"I can wear my bra too! You're making a sexy shot right? Well…I'm gonna do it!" Eric smiled at his good fortune as Brooke pulled off her blouse and shrugged into the lab coat. Jackie rolled up Brooke's sleeves and it was like magic.
Eric used two rolls of film to capture every nuance the diamonds presented in the frame. He changed filters and double checked his light meters and the shutter speed. The shoot was more perfect than he could have wished for.
"Jackie, I just need to get some more film. Could you help Brooke with the Bunsen's? I also need to bring the umbrellas down to your height"
Brooke reluctantly gave up the lab coat. "Michael would love a picture of this." She sighed. Jackie pulled off her top and slipped into the coat. Instead of buttoning it up, she let it hang open. Brooke gasped, "You are not…"
Jackie smiled, "Yes I am - and in a pink bra too!" She stepped out of her jeans and all she was left wearing was basically the lab coat. "Oh Jackie, that is so…so naughty!"
"I know! But of course it's just for the diamond frames."
"Oh of course." Brooke smiled. "Just for the pictures."
"Yes! Oh, he's coming back!"
Eric set up the camera on the tripod and trained the camera on the microscope. "Okay Jackie, I need you in the shot." As he looked thorough the lens, he saw bare naked leg and the hem of the lab coat skirting tan thighs. He slowly raised his head and saw the coat open displaying the teeny pink panties and barely there pink bra. The diamond glasses were winking at him.
Eric had to swallow the lump in his throat. He cleared his throat. "Umm., I wasn't quite expecting that…Jackie." Yet he still clicked off a couple of pictures. Jackie smiled and jumped up onto the counter where the frames sparkled in the set lighting and all of her tan skin contrasted perfectly with the bleach white lab coat. Six more pictures and Eric was getting a little stirred by this.
Still, there was one prop he almost forgot. "Ladies, can I get you to bring me out the beakers from storage and that Frankenstein doll?"
While they were gone, Eric placed his prop in the microscope. He went back to his camera and aimed at the scope. Brooke put the props in the background and rearranged the lights.
Looking in his lens, he said, "Jackie, I need you to look into the microscope but don't chip the glasses.
Jackie placed her left eye over the lens and saw something on the glass. She adjusted the microscope focus and a little note came into view.
WILL YOU MARRY ME?
As she rolled the scope tray farther away a diamond ring winked back at her. Jackie gasped and put her hand over her mouth.
Brooke didn't know what was happening. She watched as Jackie's eyes filled with tears and she held up a diamond ring and said, "Yes I will."
Eric whooped with happiness and ran onto the stage to lift her from the floor. Brooke crept over to the camera and took a couple of pictures of the romantic moment.
"Okay somebody tell me what just happened!"
Jackie could barely speak and waved her friend over. "Look."
Brooke put her eye over the lens piece and saw the proposal. "Oh Forman, you are such a romantic guy!"
Eric grinned and reached in his pocket for his wallet. He pulled out a hundred dollar bill. "Brooke, I need you to take a long lunch and lock the door on your way out." He dropped his wallet as Jackie pulled his face back for a passionate kiss.
