Jessica was having trouble convincing people she was more than just a pretty face. Genetics, gymnastics, and swimming had given her model looks as a teenager, although only a modest chest. After high school she had gone into acting. Her looks could land her roles, but her limited talent and training meant they were only bit parts. Thus Jessica was shocked when her agent called and said a famous director wanted her for an upcoming role.
Jessica was puzzled the audition was taking place at the director's home. Was this going to be some kind of casting couch thing? She went ahead with trepidation - it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. She was even more puzzled when the director greeted her at the door and introduced his wife. Nobody else was home. They went out to the back patio to sit and talk. Jessica could smell the large pool was saltwater rather than chlorine.
"We think you'd be perfect for a special role we have in mind that involves some very special effects. You'd be a mermaid."
"I can swim pretty well and hold my breath for awhile. What kind of movie?"
"As I said, it's a special role. Not in a movie."
"Theater then? Or do you want someone to swim in an aquarium?"
"This will be private performance. For our son."
It was obvious that being coy was only confusing Jessica. The director let out a resigned sigh.
"Our son just graduated high school and we're worried about him. He's very shy. No friends, no dates, no parties, no school dances. College will eat him alive. We want someone to help loosen him up and get him more comfortable, especially with women."
"You're hiring me to sleep with your son? There are call girls who specialize in first timers, you know."
"He would run away from a stripper or a prostitute. That's where the mermaid part comes in. We know he likes them. We know he likes you."
"Me?"
"You remember the pinup calendar you did last year?"
Jessica nodded. It was the only time she'd worn a mermaid tail. The casting agent wanted someone bustier, but they couldn't pass up someone with Jessica's flexibility. She posed on the beach, her tits obscured by the sand and her legs/tail bent back over her head to a degree few women could bend.
"Do they make mermaid tails that you can have sex in?"
"As I said, very special effects will be involved. We have a team of scientists with an experimental procedure that will turn you into a real mermaid."
"Can they change me back afterwards?"
"They have assured me they can."
"How long? And what's my compensation?"
"For the summer. You'll stay here in our guest room. Room and board provided. Salary for the whole summer, plus I'll cast you in my next movie."
"A major role? And you'll put this all in a written contract?"
"Yes." The director pulled out a stack of papers and slid them across the table to Jessica.
Jessica was seriously considering the offer. "I need to read this over before I sign."
"Of course."
