The final costume was Alessandro's piece de resis tance, a show-stopping creation that was more a work of art than an article of clothing. The shiny gown was a space-age wedding dress, a fabulous mix of sheer fabrics and highly reflective metallics. Never afraid to court controversy, Alessandro had designed the dress with a strategic slash across the bodice, meaning that the left breast was restrained by silver satin while the right one was naked and vulnerable. Anna glanced down at the exposed breast. The nipple was erect and flushed to a dark reddish-brown, telling Joey and the rest of the world just how turned on she was. She turned to look for her dresser to help her lift the folds of her gown and remove the thong, but the girl was nowhere to be seen. Frantically, she tried to tug them off herself, wobbling on her skyscraper heels.

Alessandro saw her struggling with the voluminous layers of her skirt and playfully slapped her hand away. The touch of another human being made her throb with frustration.

"You haven't got time to rearrange yourself, darling," he said. "You're on!" And with that, he thrust her out toward the cheering public.

The music changed for the grand finale. Anna almost laughed; it was the track that had taken Joey to the top of the charts, "Beautiful Slave," the song that he had written for her after they first made love. The explicit lyrics detailed what they'd done that night: He had made her his slave then, and she was just as helpless now. And there was nothing she could do about it. The buzzing started, making Anna's breath come in short gasps that were almost sobs. Her pussy was dripping, and she could feel the telltale contractions letting her know an orgasm was on its way. She walked toward Joey, eyes begging him not to make her come, to let her do the day job she was so famous for, please! As she drew closer to him, the cameras trained on both of them-the model on the catwalk and her adoring lover-but Anna was worried they'd get another picture entirely if Joey didn't turn off the vibrator in the next few seconds.
