"Let me take your picture."
She blanches in horror at the suggestion. "Oh, God, no. I look awful. I'm a sweaty mess. We just hiked seven miles to get here."
I laugh. "You look amazing. You've never looked better. Trust me."
Playful swat. "Shut up. You've never seen me before today, doofus!"
I laugh. "I know. But seriously, you look amazing. You feel amazing, don't you, after that hike?"
"Absolutely. Especially with the company I had." Playful eyelashes, soft smile
I feel that last comment as a fluttering in my gut, but I try to push it aside for now. Focus on the task at hand. I really want to take this girl's picture. I want to take much more than that, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. First things first.
"It shows. I'm telling you, you look delicious. You're glowing. Seriously."
Oh, fuck. Is that a blush? A little sound escapes from my lips. This girl is dangerous. I've known her a couple of hours, and already I'm spellbound. Damn.
I can feel her resolve waning, but she's still hesitating, probably for form's sake.
"Tell you what. After I'm done taking the pictures, we can look at them together, and I'll delete any that you don't like, right then and there."
"I... okay. Hey, wait! Pictures? You said 'let me take your picture.' Singular."
I can't help but chuckle. "What can I say? I'm a photographer. I see something beautiful, I want to capture it. It's in my blood. I'm far too greedy to stop at one picture. But you'll have full veto power on which ones I keep."
Her cheeks flush at the word beautiful. "Okay, where do you want me?"
Oh. Darlin', if you only knew...
"Right there. Perfect. Look at the way the light filters through the trees. You're going to love these pictures. Trust me."
Click. Move. Click. Kneel. Click.
"Do you want me to do anything?" Smile.
Oh fuck. She must have heard the growl that time. Damn. But take it slow.
"Just move. Just go with it. Whatever you feel."
I switch to burst mode, to capture the fluid grace of her movement at three frames per second.
"Oh yeah. That's perfect. So beautiful." Staccato shutter bursts.
She's dancing now. Flushed, slightly breathless. Her hands start moving over her body. Oh help.
"Oh. Yes. That's it." I can't keep a slight growl out of my voice. I don't particularly try. Clickclickclick.
"That's it. Just feel. Just move. So beautiful."
She licks her lips. God, she's getting off on it. Loving the attention, loving the effect she's having on me. How did I know she would? What did I do to deserve this? I'm mostly squatting, partly to get low angle shots, partly to disguise my condition. Oh, what the fuck. I stand erect. Erect. She shudders, seeing what she's doing to me. I capture the look of raw lust on her face.
As her hands roam, they lift her white tee, just a little. Unbidden gasp. "Oh. Yes. That's it." Soft growls of encouragement communicate far more than my words, but she loves the words, too. "More. That's it. So beautiful." The shirt slides higher, slowly. "Yes. Yes. So good." clickclickclick The soft bursts of the shutter sent an electric shock through her, every time. Her beauty, her hunger, her lust, her body, captured. Mine.
I'm lost in the moment, moving through a thick haze of lust, but part of me is still pure photographer, thrilled at the images I'm capturing. The dappled light filtering through the green canopy overhead, bathing this beautiful creature in a primordial glow. Nature incarnate. Lust incarnate. Click. That look on her face, eyes narrowed, getting off on my hunger for her. Her sliding hands lift her shirt up to her tits. Kneading through her sports bra. Fuck. Click.
A threshold passes. Sex has been in the air since we started this, but this is the first blatantly sexual touch. Now I am free to push harder, to give her the direction we both crave.
