VI Photo Session
âPut it down, for goodness sake!â he pleaded. A girl at the next table had seen, and, between giggles, was repeating the inscription to her friend.
âOkay, Simmy. Donât be so sensitive! If youâre like that now, imagine how embarrassed youâre going to be when youâre out in town wearing it.â
âSinead, pleaseâŚâ
âPlease what?â
âWhy are you doing this to me? You must really hate me.â
âYou donât get it at all, do you?â She sighed. âAll right. Iâll explain. Iâve known Florence for years. You know that. When we were little girls, I really envied her. Know why?â
Simon shook his head.
âBecause she had a kid sister. Susieâs four years younger than her. She used to get to do loads of girlie things with her. We used to play together so happily for hours. I used to wish I could have had a sister instead of you, my boisterous little brother, with your boisterous little friends. I know, it was wrong. But that was why I was always putting you in girls' clothes, and when I saw you actually liked it, I canât tell you â I was so happy. I just wanted you to be my own little girl for ever. But you rebelled. Eventually you rebelled. But I donât think you rebelled because you didnât like our games. I think you were worried about your friends finding out. You still are. But now Iâm taking charge. As long as you play along, no-one else need know â unless you decide you want them to.â
âAre you serious? No-one can know, Sinead. Iâd be finished.â
âWell, thatâs not true, actually. It wouldnât be the end of the world, as you seem to think. But anyway, donât try to rebuff me this time, or you can expect some unwanted publicity.â
âBut these tops youâve had madeâŚâ
âJust a bit of fun. I may make you wear them as a gentle warning in case you become disobedient. For now, though, theyâre our little secretâŚâ
âExcept from the next table!â
âOur little secret, Simmy, and tomorrow, when Rosieâs out, I want to take some pictures of you wearing them.â
âWhy? Why do you need to do that?â
âJust because⌠Because I enjoy seeing you blush, and fidget with embarrassment. I get a kick out of watching you go all shy and sulky. And maybe I want a poster for my wallâŚâ
âNo!â
âNow, now, little boy. Behave yourself⌠Or you never know what might happenâŚâ
Simon looked as though he was going to cry. Sinead stroked his cheek.
âYouâre so sweet when youâre like that. It gives me a funny feeling insideâŚâ
All the next day, at school, Simon was feeling anxious. Jack noticed at once.
âWhatâs up, mate? You feeling all right?â
âYes, Jack. Itâs nothing. Bit of a stomach upset.â
âOkay. You look like shit, thatâs all.â
That was a great help, thought Simon. He imagined if Jack ever saw that video. He had to block the idea from his mind.
He got home at four-fifteen. Rosie was out at a meeting of the garden society. Sinead was waiting.
âReady?â
âReady for what?â
âYou know. Now put on your best jeans and your new hoodie first. These are the new trainers I got you. Wear those as well.â
âTheyâre pink.â
âYou have amazing powers of observation. Get ready please. And hurry up. Then come into the garden. Itâs lovely and sunny this evening, plus I want a nice background of flowers and bushes.â
When Simon reappeared at the garden door, Sinead had already set up her camera on a tripod. She fancied herself as a bit of a photographer.
âOver here. Stand right there. Thatâs it. Now smile.â
Simon grimaced.
âSmile, I said. Smile. Look happy. Relax, Simmy, for fuc-kâs sake. Thatâs better. Yeah, you look cool. Stick your hands in your pockets. Right. Now turn around and look over your shoulder so I can see your confession.â
âYeah, well Iâm not, anyway.â
âNot what?â
âNot wearing my panties.â
âLittle girl panties, if you donât mind. And you will be, very soon.â
After the hoodie came the sweatshirt.
âNow this time I want you to point to the words, Simmy. Go on, point. You want to make sure everyone sees what it says. Thatâs it. But keep your head up. Better⌠Now pout a little. Pout. You know what that means. YesâŚyesâŚgoodâŚâ
She was snapping away now. âGood boy, thatâs really goodâŚyou look so cute!â
Finally it was time for the T-shirts.
âRight. I think weâll use the yellow one. Now listen. Take off those jeans and change into a pair of your new yellow panties. Youâll find some long lemon socks on the sofa. Put those on. They should look great with your pink trainers. Then your yellow T-shirt. And hurry up please.â
âButâŚmy jeansâŚâ
âNo jeans. I want to see panties and only panties. Get a move on.â
When Simon emerged from the house Sinead bit her lower lip in delight.
âBack to where you were, little boy.â She watched him reluctantly making his way across the lawn. The shop assistant had been right. Those panties did sparkle in the most delightful way. She switched to video. Stills could wait for now.
âPull your socks up to your knees. I want them symmetrical. Good. Now, first of all, pose with you hands behind your back. Not like that, idiot. Loosen up. Relax. Thatâs better. Sway your hips a bit from side to side. I want to see those pretty little panties sparkling in the sun. YesâŚyes. NowâŚpay attention. With your left hand, point at the words. Good. With your right, put a finger to your mouth, like a naughty little girl whoâs been discovered stealing cakes from the cupboard. I can see I donât need to tell you to blush, do I? Oh my godâŚâ
Sineadâs exclamation was drawn from her by Simonâs unconscious behaviour. He was actually squirming with embarrassment, his bare thighs pressed tightly together, his feet turned slightly in, for all the world like a self-conscious little girl.
âThis is going to be the fuc-king best,â she murmured under her breath; and out loud, âgood - very good, Simon.â
He noticed the âSimonâ, and was so grateful he actually summoned up a nervous smile.
âNow, you can take your hand from your mouth â no, keep pointing at your shirt â take your hand from your mouth, and take the hem of your panties between finger and thumb â yes, like that â and just pull it off your thigh â just an inch or two. Show how nice and stretchy the material is, and what a sweet boy you areâŚand how much you love your new pantiesâŚyesâŚperfectâŚâ
Now she was snapping away with her phone while the video camera did its work. âIâm going to have fun editing this,â she said to herself.
By now, Simon was beside himself with confusion. The sun was bright, and it was shining into his face and getting him overheated at the same time. The lining of his snug little panties was incredibly smooth and slippery, and he could feel his body beginning to respond. He was only too painfully aware of what an embarrassing sight he must present. He bit his lip, and peeped down at the modest but noticeable bulge in the yellow satin. He could feel it uncurling itself and inching slowly along the left leg-band. He began to fidget involuntarily, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, his thighs rubbing together, but it simply made things worse. Sinead was quite aware of his predicament, but had no intention of relieving it.
âIs the sun in your eyes? It is, isnât it. Stay right there. Donât move. You can put your hands down, silly. Stephanie used to have a collection of baseball caps. Iâll go and find one.â
When she returned, holding a pink cap with the word âPrincessâ embroidered on it, it was obvious nothing had changed. Simon was standing on the same spot, his hands clasped modestly in front of him, looking very uncomfortable. Suppressing a smile, she went over and put the cap on his head. It went very well with the rest of his outfit.
âSinead? How long is this going to take? Itâs so hot out here in the sun.â
âI know, darling. Nearly finished. Just a few minutes, and we can go inside and have a drink.â
She returned to the camera. She had let it run while sheâd been away.
âOkay. Now turn around and give me a back view. Hands in front of you. Look over your shoulder and smile at the camera. Thatâs itâŚso cute! Now back againâŚthis time pinch both hems with your fingersâŚsmile...pull a littleâŚâ
Eager to finish his routine, he tugged too hastily. The sudden stretching of the fabric precipitated such a frisson of pleasure, that he couldnât suppress an audible gasp.
âOoh, careful, darlingâŚgently nowâŚâ
âGood. Now a little curtsey⌠You can curtsey, can't you? I showed you when you were about nine. Thatâs right. Now stand up straight. Face the camera. Your last pose - for this session at least. Big smile. Right. Now say, âI hope you like my new little girl panties. I love them so much.â Go on.â
Simon hesitated. âGo on. Then we can go inside.â
âI hope you like my new little girl panties. I love them so much.â
âSay it like you really mean it!â
âI hope you like my new little girl panties. I love them so much.â
âBetter. Once more.â
âI hope you like my new little girl panties. I love them so much.â
âGood. Excellent. Now, âif I had a little girl skirt too, I could wear them always, and look so pretty...â
Simon was so desperate to be released from this torture, that he said the words with what sounded like real enthusiasm. Sinead turned off the camera, went over, and gave him a hug and a kiss.
âMaybe Iâll buy you a skirt, if youâre good. But you were incredible, Simon. Youâre a natural at photo sessions.â
Stupidly, he felt flattered. âAm I?â
âYes! Now come and have a drink.â
They went inside and Sinead served lemonade in the lounge. They sat on the sofa and she turned on the television. She noted with great satisfaction that her brother seemed quite content to sit there with her in his girlish outfit, and showed no signs of wanting to get changed. Sinead felt triumphant. Tomorrow she would edit the video and the photos. She had plans for them. But today she would enjoy the spectacle of her brother, dressed up at last almost as she used to have him years ago.
