Ann nervously walked up to the building in front of her, trying to steady her nerves. She didn't usually get this nervous before a shoot, so why this time? Maybe it was because the ad for this gig had been strange? Maybe because it seemed too easy for the amount of money they were offering? Maybe something else entirely? Either way, she was nervous.
But, for reasons she'd rather not discuss, like definitely not a stupid bet she made with Ryuji, she needed that money as soon as she could get it.
So she took a deep breath and stepped inside, telling herself it was like any other time. Just put on the clothes, smile, pose, and get it done. Easy, right?
"Hello."
A sudden voice made Ann almost jump out of her skin as it interrupted her mental pep talk. When she steadied her nerves, she found a man standing just inside the door. He had a nice smile, a clean blue suit, and slightly spiked hair. He almost reminded her of someone...
"You're here for the gig, correct?" he asked. His voice was smooth, and calming. That made Ann even more nervous, though. She'd been a phantom thief long enough to know not to immediately trust people like that. In any case, she nodded. "Great. I came here to personally greet the applicants. I have to say, though. You're almost past the end of the meeting time." Ann cringed. She'd been debating it for so long before she came that she almost missed the meeting entirely. But...as shady as it was, she didn't want Ryuji to hold that over her head, like she knew he would.
"S-sorry..." Ann said, trying to give them her best smile. He laughed.
"It's quite alright. It seems you'll be our last applicant. If you would follow me." He said, turning around and walking down the hallway. Ann took one last deep breath before she followed after him.
"Now, did you bring any credentials?" He asked as they walked.
"Yes." Ann said. She had in her bag papers detailing the different jobs she'd done. She went all out to be as professional as possible.
"Good." He said, and turned, opening a door. They entered into an office, pristine-looking. It was sparse, but not in a bad way exactly. There was a bookshelf there, and some chairs around the walls. Behind the main desk of the room say two other men. They both were in more casual wear, one wearing a plain blue shirt and the other a black one with a clothing brand on it. They both wore simple blue jeans, and had smiles on their faces when the two entered.
"These are my associates, Reiji and Mayoi." He said, gesturing the the one in blue and the one in black respectively. Reiji had slick black hair and piercing gray eyes. Mayoi had slightly long black hair and soft green eyes. The other guy stepped in front of Ann. "And my name is Ryuichi." He said, holding out his hand, which Ann accepted. "Now, shall we begin?"
Once they began the actual interview, Ann felt much better, as this was the stuff she was used to. The only thing that really made her nervous was how Reiji and Mayoi were staring at her with those smiles, which became creepier by the second.
Time seemed to fly regardless, and finally, Ryuichi set down his papers and cleared his throat.
"You seem to have much more experience than our other applicants." He said, and she smiled. "Plus, and forgive me if this sounds creepy, you also look very attractive, not to put offense on our other applicants." He said with a laugh that put Ann at ease. "So, I say that you're accepted. Congratulations." It took Ann a second to process that.
"Wait, really?" She asked.
"Yep, and if you would like, we can start today. We already have the dressing room and everything prepared." He said. Ann nodded, smiling as wide as he was. "Alright, I'll show you to the room, then." They shook hands again and he walked out with her in tow.
They walked silently through the halls until they reached a door with a small plaque that simply read 'Dressing Room.' He opened the door for her, and she stepped inside before turning to him again.
"Thank you so much!" She said.
"It is my pleasure." He said. "Now, you should find a rack with the clothes on it. Put one on and go down the hall and to the left. We'll get everything set up, hopefully by the time you're ready." He said, and have her one last smile before closing the door. Ann waited a moment before she giggled. She happily turned around and rushed over to see what clothes she would be modeling in.
The first thing she saw was a rack of what looked to be lingerie. They looked to be very high quality too, even if some of them looked like they wouldn't actually cover some parts.
"Do they want me to wear these underneath the clothes?" She asked herself. That would be weird though...
She decided to look around for something else. She searched the closets, drawers, everything she could. The longer she searched, the more confused she became when she wasn't finding anything. Finally, she stood up and sighed. Maybe they forgot to give her the clothes?
She left the room and took the path to the set Ryuichi had given her. When she arrived, she found the three men setting up the lights and cameras. It definitely looked high quality for something she had been suspicious about before. When Ryuichi saw her, he gave her a look of confusion as he walked up to her.
"Where's the clothes? I think you forgot to give me them." Ann said.
"Weren't they on the rack?" He asked.
"No, there was just lingerie." She said, and he simply stared at her for a while before he finally understood the problem.
"Ohhhh, no no no." He said with a laugh. "That lingerie is what you're going to model."
"What?!" Ann said. She wasn't expecting this when she applied! She knew something was off about this! Sure, modeling underwear wasn't all that bad, but those were...pretty revealing. She could tell by his face that he was serious. She was about to refuse when she remembered how much the pay was. She sighed. "I'll...be right back." She said, turning and heading back to the room.
Once she was inside and closed the door, she leaned up against it, sighing again. She couldn't believe she was doing this. She looked over at the rack of lingerie. She stared at it for a bit before she walked over and started examining them.
Some were less revealing than others, while some almost seemed see through. There were a lot of options. She could try to be at least a a little modest, but if they had her try them all on, which was likely, then she'd have to wear the revealing ones eventually. She could just wear them first and get it over with.
She took a deep breath as she grabbed the most revealing one there. It was a thin black bra and panties pair, almost see-through. She couldn't believe she was doing this.
The money, the money...
She began to strip out of her clothes. Stripping somewhere other than her home to put on clothes was something she got used to a while ago, but stripping completely naked was something different.
Once she was naked, she examined herself in the mirror. She seemed to have lost some weight, to her delight. Her chest was still the same size as usual, a modest one. Her slim hips led down to her crotch, where there was no hair to be seen. She liked to keep herself clean down there, even if no one saw it.
She slapped her cheeks. Let's do this.
She grabbed the underwear and put it on. It was very comfortable, she had to give it that, but when she looked back in the mirror, she could almost see her nipples through the thin fabric. Her pussy was a little less visible, but still. At least they weren't tight, which would've made it even worse.
She gave herself one last look before she stepped out on shaky legs. They seemed like good enough people, hopefully they wouldn't stare too much.
When she reached the now ready set, everyone turned to her, making her immediately regret her decision. Ryuichi smiled and walked over to her.
"Ah, you look amazing!" he said, examining her. "Are they comfortable?"
"Actually, yeah." she said, blushing fiercely. "Very high quality."
"Mhm. Now, are you ready to start?" he asked. She hesitated for a moment before nodding, and walked to the place she was supposed to stand, feeling everyone's eyes on her as she went.
"Okay, so we're gonna start with some basic poses." he said, and everyone got into place, with Ryuichi behind the camera. Ann nodded.
He ran her through some poses that were similar to ones she was used to. They weren't anything too bad. Sure, some of the ones that had her sticking out parts of her body were made somewhat embarrassing with the revealing underwear, but otherwise, it was fine.
"Fabulous." he said once they were done. "Now, are you willing to some more risqué poses?" he asked. Ann gulped and nodded, unsure if she really had a choice. "Okay, I want you to stretch your hands behind your back and puff out your chest." Immediately, Ann's face went red, but she obeyed regardless. She stretched back, and as she puffed out her chest, she felt her nipples pushing against the fabric, only making them easier to see.
"Alright, now arch your back and give a side view." he instructed. The pose made it clear to see the bumps her nipples caused from the side, and the panties likely pushed against her ass, which was unfortunately facing towards one of the other guys.
"Beautiful." Ryuichi said. Ann sighed.
They went through a few more poses that Ann didn't particularly like before Ryuichi called it. Ann walked over to him, her face as red as a tomato.
"Would you like to see?" he asked as she approached. She nodded, and he moved aside for her. She started going back through the photos and...
She had to admit, they looked good.
They looked professional, and the lingerie, while revealing, looked good on her. They would've looked better without that grimace on her face, but other than that, they were great. She smiled and looked up at Ryuichi, but her smile fell when she saw his expression.
"So..." he said. "These photos are beautiful," he said. Something about this made Ann nervous again for the upteenth time today. "I have a proposal for you." he said. He gestured her over to a nearby table, and pulled a piece of paper out from his suit, setting it on the table. Ann didn't have a chance to read it before he spoke again.
"I want you to pose nude for us."
Ann froze on the spot, and stared at him in shock. "Wh-wh-wha-"
"This contract dictates that any photos taken will have your face edited out and will not be published." he said calmly, as if this were not an insane thing to ask someone. "We will even double the pay."
"H-huh?!" Ann exclaimed. Double? For nude pictures? She looked down and read the document. It was official, and indeed confirmed everything he said. It was a simple request, and it didn't look like there were any loopholes as far as she could tell.
"A-are you serious?" she asked. That was quite a lot of money he was offering...but nudes?
"I'm absolutely serious." he said, not smiling. His face wasn't mean, it was still soft, just without the smile. Ann looked back down at the document, staring at the empty spot for her name.
That was a lot of money, but was it really worth it? Could she trust them?
"I'm sorry, but I can't." She said. "It's...a lot of money, but not enough for me." Ann became nervous when Ryuichi's calm expression became serious. They stood in awkward silence for a while.
"Are...you sure?" He asked, that peaceful demeanor gone. Ann immediately felt an intense fear, but she stood her ground.
"I-I'm sure." She said, crossing her arms. "I'll just take the money and-" she stopped when she heard the two other guys walk up to them and stand behind her.
"I'm sorry." Ryuichi said. The two men laid their hands on her shoulders, and Ann felt terror shoot through her. "But I think you should've." He snapped his fingers, and the two men suddenly pulled her to the floor.
"H-hey!" She exclaimed. This wasn't good, this was terrible! Was she about to get raped? No no no no.
Thoughts ran through her head as she felt the bra and panties get ripped off of her body. Her arms shot to cover herself. She tried to fight back as they tried to pull her arms away, but she wasn't strong enough, and they did it. Mayoi pulled her arms behind her back as Reiji moved to her front and started forcing her legs open.
"N-no! P-please!" She desperately tried to keep her legs together, to no avail. Ryuichi approached with the camera, and started snapping pictures of her body, her breasts, her pussy, all while tears slid down Ann's cheeks.
"Please don't rape me..." she pleaded, and Ryuichi stopped.
"We're not gonna rape you." He said, and she looked up at him.
"You...you aren't?" She asked.
"No. I just offered to give you money for nude shots, which would've given you more money and legal protection, but you said no." He explained, shaking his head. "So now, I'm taking them without pay." Ann's face paled as he took a few more pictures, then backed away. "Alright, take her." The two men nodded and lifted her up.
"Wait, what?" Ann asked as they began pulling her away from the set and down the hallway. Were they letting her go?
She began to believe that as they approached the dressing room, but her body froze as they passed it instead.
"Wait, what-" she said, and turned to see them approaching the main door. "You're not going to-" The realization of what was about to happen gave her sudden strength, and she began fighting back harder and harder. "Y-you can't leave me outside with no clothes! Please!" Despite the new strength, it still wasn't enough. They reached the door, opened it, and set her down on the ground. Before she could get up, they tossed something on her, rushed back inside, and closed the door. Ann rushed up and grabbed the knob, trying to turn it, but it wouldn't budge. She slammed her hand against the door for a moment before she realized that that would only draw attention. She turned around. Thankfully, it was sort of out of the way, so there wasn't anybody around right now who could see her.
Instead, she went and grabbed what they had given her. It was the money, which gave her the tiniest bit of relief. She quickly looked around, and spotted an alley. She quickly ducked into it, flattening herself against the wall of a building. She stood there, her chest rising and falling as she tried to steady herself.
This...was not how she imagined this going down. At least it couldn't get worse, right?
As she stood pressed against the wall, she heard a sudden intake of air. She froze, terrified to turn to look towards its source. Even so, she gulped, and slowly turned her head, and found someone standing in the alley, gawking at her nude form.
"Holy...shit…" Ryuji said as he stared at her with wide eyes.
Somehow, it just got worse.
