“Are you going to talk to me?” Alex asked after a few more seconds of silence. “You know that I can tell when something is bothering you.” As she spoke, she gently stroked her twin’s cheek and started to run her fingers through her dark hair.
“I’m sorry,” Toni said after another few moments of silence. “I… just wanted to make sure that you’re okay. You’ve spent each night with me since… the masquerade and I know that you were having weird feelings and whatnot. I… got scared and concerned. I didn’t mean to freak out.”
Alex’s heart immediately melted, and she sighed deeply. Part of her was immediately upset at herself for being so insensitive to her twin, who was only concerned about her and not jealous like she’d assumed. The other was deeply touched by that fact and couldn’t imagine loving someone more.
Toni nuzzled her hand and turned to look up at her. “I was… just… I couldn’t figure out how to make sure you were okay without trying to sound like… I was jealous or whatever. I didn’t want to pry.”
“I get it,” Alex said. “I’m not ever going to intentionally keep secrets from you, goofy,” she said, brushing a stray hair from her twin’s face and trying to get her to smile. “I’ll tell you everything that went on; from the three times that Bryce and I had sex, to the times I let his roommates have me, to when I fell asleep halfway through fucking them.”
Toni snickered quietly, fixing her with a quiet little smirk.
“I’m going to go to sleep, okay?” Alex said, leaning over and kissing her twin on the cheek. “I’d totally be up for playing around and making things up to you, but I’m honestly just beat.”
Toni was already standing and shook her head. “I just want to sleep in your bed with you,” she said. “I don’t care about sex tonight.”
Alex smiled, then helped her to her feet.

The next morning, she awoke feeling absolutely wonderful. She smiled, seeing Toni still snoozing quietly and basked in the warm feelings filling her. Nervous, giddy energy began to creep into her for some reason. She felt like she might have to jump out of bed and yell to release some of it.
Today was the day that she and Toni were going to do the photoshoot and video with Camille. Even though it was just softcore, she was still excited by the prospect of what the two of them were going to be doing. She harbored no illusions about actually going and starting a career in the porn industry. In all honesty, she figured that this would realistically be the only other thing they did on Camille’s website.
Still, the idea of the whole thing was exciting and arousing. She knew that when the video or photoshoot were released on the website, people that knew her might recognize them. That thought alone was exciting.
She quietly slid from bed and went to the bathroom, and saw that Toni was awake by the time she returned.
“Morning!” Alex said.
“Hi,” she replied shortly. “So… did you sleep okay?” she asked.
“Mmhmm!” Alex said. “I had my little sister snuggled to me all night! Of course I was okay.”
Toni rolled her eyes and sighed hard, clearly fighting waking up.
“We need to get up,” Alex said.
“Oh, I know,” Toni told her. “We still need to tell mom and dad that we’re doing this, and there’s other stuff to do before we leave.”
Alex frowned. She hadn’t thought about her folks.
“Let me get dressed and we can go tell them together,” Toni continued.
A few minutes later, the two went downstairs and found their parents in their own bedroom, their dad getting dressed to head to work.
“Hey girls,” he called out, standing in front of the mirror and working on his tie. He frowned and turned, gesturing to their mother to come and help.
“He’s hopeless without me,” she said, sighing. Stepping over, she began to adjust his tie.
“We… needed to let you guys know something,” Toni said.
“Uh oh,” their father said, drawing a playful slap from their mother.
“We got the pictures back from that photo-shoot we did, and we loved them so much, we’re going to do a scene,” Alex said.
Both parents turned and gave them surprised, though not quite upset, looks.
“It’s not going to be hardcore or anything,” Toni quickly amended. “It’s a softcore scene.”
“Oh?” their mother said, turning and flashing a quick smirk at their father.
Toni nodded in response.
“Okay,” he said after a few seconds. “I guess… be safe? Take one of your boyfriends with you if you can.”
“Is this really what you both want?” their mother asked.
“Yes,” Alex told her. “She’s not forcing me. Are you guys really okay with it?”
“We just want you two to be happy and healthy,” their dad said. “If you want to do something like this, then by all means do it as long as it makes you happy. Just be safe.”
The twins immediately went and hugged both of their parents then hurried back upstairs.
“I’m assuming that we don’t have to like… pack different clothes?” Alex asked, the two back in Toni’s bedroom.
“Just a change for after,” Toni said. “Camille has our wardrobes ready and said that she’s got a girl that will handle our makeup, so don’t bother putting any on.”
The sisters were as hairless as they could be below the belt, and Toni had apparently already packed everything they were going to need, so there wasn’t anything else to do before the two were ready to leave. Once they arrived at Camille’s studio, they both hopped out and went inside. No one was in the front office, so Alex led the way down the hall and to the door that led into the shooting area.
Opening it quietly, the sisters peeked in before going through, seeing Camille inside setting things up for their scenes.
“Hey there!” the older woman called out, waving at them as the stopped what she was doing and headed over.
“Alex,” she said, obviously guessing as was looking at Toni when she said it.
The twins giggled and Toni said, “I’m Toni.”
“Sorry,” Camille said. “You two look so much alike! So… how are we feeling today?”
“Nervous,” Toni said. “Excited though.”
“Yeah, nervous but definitely excited,” Alex agreed.
“Good, good,” Camille said. “So… we’ve got all the boring stuff handled already, blood tests and paperwork signed and whatnot. Do you have any questions for me before we get started?”
“Not really, just curious about how it will all go,” Alex answered after glancing at Toni.
“Well, I’ll need you both to go and shower and make sure everything is nice and ready for the shoot down below, and after that my makeup girl will probably have arrived and we can get started on that part. Once I’m happy with that, we’ll get you dressed and ready to shoot. Your costars should be here soon so you guys can start getting acquainted and used to each other before you’re on camera together. We’ll shoot the setup first, all the story elements and the like, then we’ll do Toni’s scenes and finish with up Alex’s.”
Camille smiled at both as she finished detailing their upcoming day. “Sound good?” she asked, getting a nod from each. “Oh… one more important detail; stage names. We’ve settled on Eridani Anders and Adaria Anders, right?”
Alex nodded.
“And… which is which?” Camille asked.
“I’m Eridani,” Alex said, raising her hand.
“Right,” Camille said. “Alex… Eridani… got it. So… from here on and with anyone else present, I’m only going to be calling you by your stage names. I’ll introduce you to the male talent as such, the makeup girl… you get the picture.”
Both sisters nodded.
“Excellent. You two go ahead and shower up and I’ll see you in a few. There are a couple of robes inside that you can slide on when you finish.”
Toni led the way as the two went into the changing room and stripped down. Alex briefly considered playing around with Toni but didn’t want anyone else walking in on them doing anything to each other, so she controlled her urges. After they rinsed off and toweled themselves dry, Toni pulled a silky pink robe off of one of the hooks on the wall and handed it to Alex, then took the other one for herself.
Back out in the main room, the two emerged to find that the make-up girl had indeed arrived and was getting set up already. Camille came toward them and took them over, introducing the newcomer as Casey.
Alex gestured for Toni to go first, and as her twin moved to sit down, she suddenly remembered about texting Bryce. Heading back into the changing room, she grabbed her phone and rejoined her twin. Finding a seat close by, she pulled it over and sat down, then tried to call her boyfriend. With a frown, she hung up after he didn’t answer and began to send him a text message.
“Hey baby,” she typed. “I just wanted to let you know that we’re getting started. Toni and I are doing makeup right now.”
She sent the message off and slid the phone in one of the pockets of her robe.
“Bryce?” Toni asked as Casey worked on her.
“Mmm,” Alex confirmed. “I told him I’d text or call before we got started. You want to talk to Wade?”
“You think I need to?” Toni asked.
“I don’t know,” Alex said. “He’s your boyfriend and all.”
“That reminds me; his birthday is this coming Thursday,” Toni muttered.
“What are you getting him?” Alex asked idly, then felt her phone buzz as a message came through. Toni was notorious for waiting until the last minute to buy gifts.
“Ugh… I don’t know,” Toni admitted. “What else could he want that I don’t let him have already?”
“Umm… something besides sex?” Alex suggested, glancing over.
“Mmm,” Toni mumbled. “That’s not a bad idea. Maybe something like… a really provocative picture of me? Ooo… better yet, a picture set of me just for him.”
Alex sighed, shaking her head. “That’s still sex related, dummy. I meant like… I dunno… something for his truck or like… something manly.”
