After Charlotte's discovery of the two girls together, Harriett and Emma no longer made even the slightest pretence that there was nothing between them. Charlotte became accustomed to finding the couple entwined around each other in the living room and elsewhere, and her sense of betrayal and frustration gradually receded in the face of a fact that couldn't now be changed. Charlotte tried to look away from their activities, but her eyes still strayed towards them, although there was nothing too overtly sexual in their behaviour. As long as they just cuddle, Charlotte said to herself, I can still dream. She gazed longingly at Emma, but she felt constrained from even kissing or hugging her. Contrarily, Emma was much more affectionate towards Charlotte - stroking her hair, kissing her cheeks, patting her buttocks - but never in a way that could be construed as a sexual invitation.
Emma was concerned that Harriett shouldn't lose sight of the original intention of their intimacy. "Perhaps now," she suggested, "we've practised enough and we should find out how you actually would perform in front of the camera."
"But how would we do that?" wondered Harriett from between Emma's legs, a few loose hairs in her teeth.
"I've got a video recorder and we can ask Charlotte to film us," suggested Emma matter-of-factly. And indeed that's what they did next time they saw Charlotte just as she was returning from work. She was just pulling off her knickers - always the last item she took off as to her it marked the moment she progressed from merely undressed to nude. It was not a welcome suggestion, but there was probably no favour that Emma could ask that Charlotte wouldn't perform. Even scorned in love, Charlotte reasoned, she could show how pure and unselfish her love was. She still hoped that Harriett was merely a phase in Emma's love life and that soon her true love would return to her, an altogether better candidate.
"I've never used one before," Charlotte answered, hoping this could be the excuse to avoid the humiliation of filming the woman she loved making love to another woman. "And certainly not for something like that."
"Don't be silly," said Harriett. "There's nothing to it. It's auto-focus. All you've got to do is point it in the right direction and make sure it's rolling."
"Isn't there some art to it?" wondered Charlotte. "The right angles and so on."
"We're not asking you to make an art film," Emma laughed. "We just want to see what Harriett's like, so that when she makes love with a woman professionally it all goes well. No one's going to watch it except Harriett and me."
"And anyway if you think the cameramen at work are making art, you're sadly mistaken," laughed Harriett. "All they do is what we're asking you to do. Just film us making love and point the camera at the interesting bits."
"The interesting bits?"
"Don't be so naΓ―ve!" Emma exclaimed amusedly, leaning over and kissing Charlotte on the mouth. "I'm sure you'll have no difficulty in working out which they are."
Emma and Harriett spent about an hour together in the bathroom to prepare for the filming, mostly soaping themselves in the shower and ensuring that their bodies were clean and their pubic hairs shining. Emma was fascinated to find that even Harriett, with her athletic slim body felt she needed more than just soap to look her best as she adorned make-up over her nipples and around her crotch. "It actually looks more natural on a video," she explained, but Emma wasn't persuaded. Her principles of naturism were too strict to permit using such artifice. She did consent however to Harriett sucking and pulling on her nipples to ensure that they were quite erect to start with.
Charlotte practised , in the meantime, by filming around the living room and then playing the results back on the video player. It was very easy: technology had certainly come a long way. You just pointed the video recorder at something - say a chair - and it remained in focus as you moved towards it or away from it. Even in darkened parts of the room the recorder automatically widened its aperture to ensure that enough light entered the lens.
"Are you ready?" wondered Emma coming out of the bathroom with a blow-dried crotch and a radiant expression. Charlotte couldn't help noticing how very stiff Emma's nipples were: they were normally pert but not
that
pert.
Harriett suggested her own bedroom because her bed was the widest and there was better lighting. "And that's where I'm most relaxed anyway," Emma laughed. Charlotte was not amused.
At first the exercise was very clumsy. It was very difficult for Emma to proceed knowing that Charlotte was filming her every move. She kept catching glimpses of the video recorder as it panned around her crotch and her breasts. Charlotte herself was thinking more of her own humiliation in filming the woman she loved doing the things she wanted to do, and finding it difficult to keep her mind on the object of the exercise. However, the more experienced Harriett took everything in command. She kept half an eye on the camera and Charlotte and occasionally made signs to Charlotte as to where to point the camera. Emma appreciated how Harriett also took command of her love-making. Emma admired Harriett's professionalism as she guided Emma's mouth down to her vagina while stroking Emma's back and gesturing Charlotte to film Emma's frantic tongue. The skill was not only that of being able to make love unselfconsciously in front of other people, but of also maximising the activities for their erotic televisual potential.
Charlotte was able to think as she filmed that perhaps this was not really Emma she was filming, but just a sex star on the sex videos Emma was bringing into the flat. Was it real sex? she wondered. She'd sometimes wondered that when watching these videos. However, as Emma relaxed more and became more excited by the eroticism of the occasion, it became evident to Charlotte that this was real sex. Emma emitted gasps and grunts that increased in frequency and were reciprocated by Harriett. "
Oh God! Oh God!
" she yelled from a sudden orgasmic shudder. Charlotte was taken aback, but she was herself aroused by Emma's arousal. Her thoughts focused on Emma and almost forgot that it was Harriett who was orchestrating the pleasure and whose tongue and teeth were working around Emma's vagina.
Almost unconsciously, while holding the video camera in her right hand her left hand wandered down to her own clitoris which she stroked to the same rhythm of Emma's orgasmic shudders. She found that her own vagina was moist.
