Echoes from the next room were nearly loud enough to shake the building. Screams and cries from a woman I'd never met had me wondering if I should just hit the road and never turn back. But I couldn't do that. This had been my idea, after all, and there I was starting to panic at the last minute. Maybe moving to Los Angeles hadn't been my greatest idea, I was starting to think.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I muttered to my best friend Jaina who I'd talked into this insane gig in the first place. "I mean... do you hear that?"

Jaina giggled and looked at me like I was crazy. "We got this far into this and you're wanting to back out now?"

I looked around at the other women patiently waiting with us. They were all gorgeous and I felt like just a regular girl compared to them. They all had perfect makeup on and perfect hairdos. Their nails were beautifully manicured, and their bodies were stunning, Jaina included. And then there was me: Ellie Perez.

My hair hadn't been curled because I'd overslept passed my alarm time. My nails weren't done except for the three-day-old red polish on my toenails that had just begun to chip. Jaina assured me it would be fine, but I didn't believe her. These people were looking for the best of the best and I wasn't so sure I could make the cut. But for having put on my makeup in the car while Jaina drove, I hadn't done a bad job at all. In fact, I was pretty proud of how it turned out. I hoped that would be enough to push me over the edge with whoever made the choices around this place.

My biggest concern was not necessarily being turned down, but rather, Jaina being accepted and me being turned down then. I didn't want to go back to a crappy job waitressing or bagging groceries. I'd had enough of that. I wanted a good paying job that I actually liked. And maybe I was totally nuts for it, but that's why I'd suggested to Jaina that we try adult acting. I mean, it was Hollywood. Everyone was an actor or actress. How hard could it be?

"I don't necessarily want to back out, per se. But I'm also very self-conscious sitting here like this when there's twenty other girls with bigger boobs and tinier waists than me," I whispered to Jaina.

When it came to looks, I had them, but they were more average looks. I wasn't any Victoria's Secret model. I had a nice figure and good-sized boobs, but I didn't think I was a head turner. Jaina always told me differently, but I didn't believe her. She was the real looker between us with her flowing raven hair and her stunning green eyes. She had huge breasts and a slim waist with tiny, cute freckles all over her body. Her makeup was flawless just like the rest of her.

Jaina rolled her eyes at me. "Come on, Ellie. It'll be just fine. You're beautiful just like every other woman in this room. You have just as much of a fair shot. Now don't do that to yourself."

She looked at me sternly like she was going to pinch me if I didn't say okay, which I did. Jaina always knew how to make me feel better or get my mind off of something. She was the most reliable person I knew. Once she set her mind to something, she was going to do it, and that included going through with this audition.

"Jaina Holloway," a woman called from the doorway.

She wore a headset and a business suit. I assumed she was the film director.

Jaina smiled at me and patted me on the arm before heading out of the room with the woman.

"It's okay. I'm nervous too," said the girl a few feet from me.

She was a beautiful woman with long curly blonde hair and a perfect face. I smiled at her and went back to staring a hole through the doorway, anxiously waiting for my turn.

There was a part of me that hoped they'd just forget I was there and never call my name, but the rest of me wanted to get it over with. I was ready to start biting my nails and I couldn't do that because they already weren't done for the shoot, and I couldn't make it worse.

"Oh, yeah!" I heard Jaina scream from the other room. The door was open to the set, and I scooted over to the edge of the bench I'd been sitting on, trying to peek around the doorframe to see what was going on.

There was my best friend, her panties off, but her lacy bra still on, riding some guy I could barely see from where I was sitting. He had his hands on her hips, and she was bouncing up and down on him, moaning where everyone could hear her. There was a part of me that was embarrassed for her, but I knew she wouldn't be embarrassed. Jaina wasn't ashamed of anything she did. She was a rockstar like that. And from what little I could see from the waiting room, she was nailing her audition.

"Yeah," I said to the girl next to me. "I'm definitely a little nervous."

She smiled and grabbed my hand. "Don't be nervous. I know it's a crazy experience, but you got this, girl. I believe in you."

She was a sweet girl, and it made me wonder what made her want to do something like adult acting. She could've been a model instead. She was very pretty.

"Thank you," I said sheepishly, trying to ignore the sound of my best friend being fucked in front of a bunch of strangers a room away.

Jaina's audition seemed to last longer than the previous two, but maybe that was just because I hadn't paid attention to the other two aside from hearing a few screams and moans. The door had been shut then. This time it was left wide open, and I could hear every little sound, including the slapping of skin on skin.

I glanced back out the door to see that she was now on her back and the guy she was with was jacking off onto her stomach. They were just about finished, which meant only one thing to me: I was next.

Did I really want to go through with this? I asked myself the question multiple times, but I didn't have a good answer because the answer was both yes and no. So, I decided that if Jaina could do it, so could I.

A few minutes later, Jaina came back in the room, wrapped in a satin robe, beaming ear to ear. She looked like she'd just come off a rollercoaster with the way her hair was messed up, but she looked happy, like she'd had a great time.

"How was it?" I asked hesitantly.

The girl next to me leaned over to listen too.

Jaina blushed beet red. "Girls, it was so good! Oh my god! I can't believe I just did that. But it was so fun. You'll have a great time. Trust me."

I trusted her, but I didn't necessarily trust anyone else. I was intimidated for sure and I kind of wanted to run away with my tail between my legs, but I had come all the way to fucking Hollywood and prepared like crazy at the gym for this moment. I couldn't just back out. I had to go through with it, no matter how uncomfortable I was.

"Ellie Perez," called the woman with the headset.

This was it. I could no longer turn back. Everyone was waiting for me.

"I'm here," I said awkwardly, and she gestured for me to follow her.

We walked out onto a stage with a freshly made bed and she instructed me about what to do, where to stand or sit, told me who my partner was going to be, and that I would get paid as soon as the scene was finished. I figured seven hundred was a good payout for spreading my legs on camera for some man I'd never met.

I looked down at my ensemble. I wore a red lace bra and panty set that really looked great with my auburn hair. I'd made sure to wax and shave all over, not wanting a single hair to upset the apple cart. My makeup was almost flawless and my hair... well it was good enough for being straight and going flat. I was nervous, but I was ready.

A man wearing only a pair of jeans emerged from the other side of the studio. I assumed they had a male waiting room over there. He was about six-foot-two with short blonde hair and a shaved face. He was muscular and toned in all the right places. I wasn't remotely attracted to him, but at least he wasn't someone I would cringe at having sex with.

"Hi, I'm Shawn," he said, shaking my hand. "Is this your first time?"

Nervously, I stammered a moment before replying. "Yeah."

"Don't be nervous. Just follow my lead. You'll be fine."

He seemed nice enough. I hoped he would subtly show me the ropes as we went along where I'd look good on camera and impress the director.

"Thanks," I muttered, glancing around at the cameramen watching me.

A part of me wanted to hide behind Shawn from all the eyes on my nearly naked body, but I knew that would be unprofessional.

"Alright, are we ready?" asked the director. "Ellie, sit on the edge of the bed. Shawn, you come in from stage left and do your thing."

"Okay," I said and did as I was instructed.

I was glad she was another female watching me. I wasn't sure I could've shot the scene if it were all men staring at me.

"In five, four, three..." she counted down, holding up fingers for two and one, and then I knew we were filming.

I tried my best to look sexy, hoping I didn't turn out looking like a total dork on camera. I'd watched tons of porn in preparation for this moment, trying to figure out how to look and act, but nothing could've prepared me for six cameras staring a hole through me. It was just something you had to get the experience from.

Shawn stepped onto the stage, his bare chest seeming to glisten under the hot lighting as he made his way over to me.

"You okay?" he mouthed where the cameras couldn't see.

I nodded subtly and stood up, letting him touch me.

Shawn gripped my ass cheek and then swatted me. It stung a little, but I did my best to look like I liked it.

His hands roamed my body, feeling me all over, squeezing my breasts and turning me around to face him. I couldn't lie. His hands on my body felt good, and my nipples stood up proud when his fingertips grazed them. I could feel myself starting to get aroused. Maybe this wasn't so bad after all.

Shawn grabbed my ass and pulled me in closer where the cameras couldn't see. It looked like he was kissing my neck, but he was whispering in my ear.

"Suck my cock," he instructed.

I froze, but only for a second, and then I dropped to my knees and went to work unbuckling his belt and slowly sliding it out of the loops. I tossed the belt aside and cupped him through his jeans, liking the way he watched me. Unbuttoning his jeans and then dragging the zipper down, I felt a rush of wet to my core. I was getting very horny, and I was enjoying it.

Shawn grabbed the back of my head and pushed my face in closer to his engorged member, which sprang free of his jeans like a damn rocket. He was huge! How was I going to choke down that big fucking cock? I had no idea, but I was going to try.

Looking up at him, I dropped to my knees and stuck my tongue out, licking the tip at first and then opening my mouth wide to take him down my throat. I'd practiced on a dildo for a scene like this, but my gag reflex was still there, much to my dismay. I was going to do my best for the cameras though.

Grabbing the base of his cock, I slid my hand up and down him while my mouth worked the other half of his length. I sucked and licked, moaning on his cock as I went along. He groaned in response, obviously liking what I was doing to him. He kept his hand on the back of my head, guiding me up and down his length for what felt like forever until he finally pulled me back by my hair.

I knew it was time to get on the bed and I quickly scrambled up onto the mattress. Shawn grabbed my knees and spread my legs wide, reaching in and sliding two fingers inside my wet pussy. I moaned in pleasure at his touch. His fingers inside me felt magical and I was panting and writhing against his hand in no time. He worked my opening like a pro, fingering me fast and deep, plunging in harder and harder until I was just about to come, and then he removed his hand, earning a whimper from me.

"Turn over," he whispered, and I climbed to my hands and knees, flipping my body over and pointing my ass at him.

He rubbed his wet hand over my ass cheeks and spanked me again. This time I liked it more. The sting was more arousing.

He slipped one finger inside my pussy and worked it a little bit longer, my moans getting louder with each time he entered me, and then I felt him stop. I knew what was coming next, and I was so ready for it. I couldn't hardly wait. I could practically feel myself dripping from how wet he'd made me, and I couldn't wait to feel his cock inside me.

Grabbing my hips, Shawn dug his fingertips into my skin, getting a hard grip on my body. He moved me until I was in the perfect position and slid my panties to the side. Then I felt the tip of his cock at my entrance. I was panting, anxious to feel him fill me up.

He started to move, holding his cock steady and slowly sliding inside my wet hole. He slid all the way inside, burying himself to the hilt, and then slowly slid back out. I thought he was going to continue his gradual increase in movement, but instead, he reared back and plunged right into me, immediately shifting into a hard, intense fucking session. His cock stretched me out, barely fitting inside me, and he groaned as he grabbed my hips and worked his way in and out, faster and faster, beating my pussy up until I almost couldn't take it anymore. He was fucking me so hard and it felt so good, but I was getting to a point that I could barely breathe from how intense the sex was.

Spanking my ass again, the sting only aided in how wet I was, and then he grabbed a handful of my hair, pulling my head back and driving into me even harder.

A few more moments of deep, hard thrusting and he finally pulled out, flipping me over and quickly stroking his cock, spreading his hot come all over my breasts.

Once he was finished, I quickly dropped to my knees again to finish him off, my tongue lapping up all of his remaining come and cleaning off his cock.

"And that's a wrap!" called the director. "Great job everybody."

Suddenly, I realized just how exposed I was and what I'd just done with a complete stranger. A stagehand came over and handed me a robe and I was happy to take it and cover myself.

"Well, how was your first time?" asked the director, handing me a damp washcloth to wipe the come off my breasts.

I couldn't lie. It was amazing, in spite of being nervous.

"Great," I smiled and then blurted out that I'd love to do it again under her direction.

"We'll see," she returned the smile. "We'll be in touch, Ellie."

I stepped off the stage and made a beeline for the waiting room I'd been in before, anxious to find Jaina and tell her all about it, but I realized the door had been left open and every girl in the waiting room had probably been able to see my audition, which both emboldened and embarrassed me.

"You did so good!" Jaina squealed. "Especially the cock sucking. That was impressive."

I was about to respond when I felt a tap on my left shoulder. I turned around to see the director smiling at me.

"Well, girls, you got the job. We'd like to shoot some more scenes this week if you're available," she told us.

"Of course," Jaina grinned before I could say anything.

"Great!"

And just like that, I became a porn actress.
