The bathroom door clicked shut softly behind her, and Regina padded back into the room, the minty flavor of her toothpaste lingering on her tongue.
She stopped halfway across the room, freezing when she heard Cady groan. Her eyes stayed locked on her as she stretched her arms up over her head, the sheet slipping down enough to reveal her bare shoulders. The sunlight streamed in through the thin hotel curtains, highlighting her freckles and making her look ethereal.
“Jesus Christ,” Regina whispered. She sat down at the desk, quietly removing her camera from its case.
Regina was in a photography class, and had a school issued camera. Typically she wouldn’t have brought it along with her on a trip to visit Cady’s parents, but she had an assignment due at the end of next week that she hadn’t even begun.
She held the camera up to her face, framing Cady perfectly with the light spilling over the expanse of her throat. The shutter clicked through the silent room, causing Cady to stir. She turned her head to look at Regina, blinking. “What are you doing?”
“Taking your picture. The light is hitting you just right and you look incredible,” Regina said.
Cady sat up a little, alarm flashing in her eyes when she saw what Regina was reaching for. “With your school camera? Regina, I’m naked.”
“I know,” Regina smiled. “That’s kind of the point. Lay back down.”
Cady did as she was told, pouting. “Why can’t you just use your phone?”
“Because a phone won’t do this justice,” Regina said, snapping another picture. She looked at the preview image with a satisfied smirk, crossing the room to let Cady see.
Cady looked at the picture and smiled up at Regina. “You’re right, I do look pretty.”
“Pretty? Cady you look like a fucking goddess,” Regina said, looking at Cady instead of the picture. She kissed Cady’s forehead and smiled when Cady turned to lean into it. “I’m so lucky that you’re mine.”
Cady looked at the picture one more time and pushed the camera closer to Regina. “Are you gonna direct me, or am I supposed to just lay here?”
Regina nodded once and backed up, taking more time to carefully frame Cady on the bed. “Can you turn your head a little to face the window… yeah, just like that.”
The light was steadily creeping lower, painting her chest in soft gold. Regina crouched down so that she was level with the mattress. The angle made Cady’s neck long, the starkness of her collarbones standing out. Regina almost choked on her next breath, pressing the shutter over and over.
“Can you stretch again?” she asked, voice low.
Cady arched her back from the bed, arms lifting up over her head. Regina adjusted the focus, moving along the bed to capture Cady from a few different angles. “Holy shit,” she muttered, heart pounding as she lowered the camera and looked at Cady.
Cady’s cheeks went pink as she moved one hand down towards the sheet. She started to pull it up higher, but Regina stopped her. “Keep your hand right there,” the camera clicked, and Regina moved to capture it from a different angle. “Now put your hand under the sheet, but go slow.”
Cady didn’t immediately do as she was told, and Regina looked at her over the top of the camera instead of through the lens. She saw concern written over her face, and she softened.
“Baby, we can take the card out. Nothing is going to be stored on the camera, I promise. I’ll even let you check when we’re done.” Cady still didn’t look convinced, so Regina set the camera down on the nightstand and crawled into the bed with her.
She kissed Cady softly, letting her hand rest on Cady’s cheek. She pulled back and smiled down at Cady. “Please let me keep going. You trust me, right?” Cady’s only response was to nod slightly. Regina pressed another kiss to Cady’s lips, soft but sure. “Good. Just follow my instructions."
She got off the bed and picked up the sheet, letting it fall more naturally over Cady’s body. She picked up Cady’s hand and kissed her fingertips, then rested it where the sheet draped low across her belly.
She picked up the camera again and circled the bed, careful not to block the light as she moved. “Okay, now move your hand down under the sheet.” Cady did as she was told, wiggling her fingers to press down on her stomach and let the sheet move over the top of her hand. “Good, slow down just a little.”
Regina watched in awe, the shutter clicking repeatedly. “You doing okay?” Cady nodded, a smile starting to appear on her face. “You look like you’re enjoying yourself. Go ahead, touch yourself.”
The next series of photos captured Cady’s head tipping back, with eyes fluttered shut and her lips parted. Her free hand flexed in the fitted sheet behind her, and Regina sighed. “That feels good, doesn’t it?”
Cady nodded, almost imperceptibly. Through the lens, Regina watched Cady’s chest rise and fall, complemented by the delicious arch of her back. The light was at the junction of where the sheet met her skin, and Regina took a burst of photos where the muscles in Cady’s forearm moved as she touched herself.
Cady’s free hand moved up to palm her breast, forcing Regina to take a step back to catch it. The quiet of the room was lifting now, the distinct click of the camera joined by the slick sounds of Cady’s hand moving beneath the sheet. Interspersed were the soft sounds falling from Cady’s mouth: starting as sighs that deepened into quiet moans that matched the rise and fall of her chest.
Each sound drew Regina in closer as she watched through the lens, desperately trying to capture the moment. She focused on Cady’s face, her mouth taking on new shapes around gasps that grew louder with each pass of her hand. She could see Cady starting to fall apart in the angle of her neck and the arch of her back. “Don’t come until I say.”
Regina adjusted the shutter speed again, angling lower as she moved down the bed to capture the way Cady’s shoulders pressed back into the mattress. Cady’s breaths got heavier, whining as her hips pressed up into her hand. She moved up to the head of the bed, capturing the exquisite line of Cady’s body from the top of her head as she begged for release.
“Good girl. Just a little big longer,” Regina breathed into Cady’s ear. Cady gasped when Regina pressed a kiss to her temple. “You’re doing so good, baby. Are you ready to come?” The shutter continued to click, capturing the exact moment that Cady tumbled over the edge. Regina’s breath hitched with her, hands shaking as she watched and tried to preserve the moment.
Cady’s chest rose and fell in ragged breaths as she came down, her body slack against the sheets. She wiped her fingers absently across her stomach, leaving faint streaks behind. Regina bent down to capture the shine against her skin, heat pooling in her own body at the sight. “Now lick them clean,” she ordered.
Still breathless, Cady brought her fingers to her mouth. Her lips parted around them, tongue curling as she drew them in slowly. The shutter went off in quick succession, each click desperate and greedy. She didn’t stop until Cady sighed and pulled her fingers free with a soft pop.
The room had gone quiet again, except for their breathing. Regina looked down at the last image previewed on the screen and then back up at Cady, still in the same position. She lowered the camera and popped the memory card out, taking a second to verify that none of the photos were saved in the camera’s built-in storage.
She turned off the camera and set it down, then pressed the memory card into Cady’s palm. “These are for you,” she whispered as she settled next to Cady on the bed. She let her lips brush across Cady’s neck, tasting the faint salt of her skin as she kissed her. “God, you’re perfect.”
Cady hummed, curling further into Regina and closing her fist around the memory card. “I’m not sure why I let you do that,” she laughed.
“Because you love me,” Regina said as she kissed her head. “Because you know, even if you won’t say it out loud, that you’re sexy as hell.” Cady’s eyebrows rose, an amused sound bubbling up from her throat. “Because you’re mine, and you’ll do anything I ask you to.”
Cady shifted slightly, nodding against Regina’s shoulder as she intertwined their fingers. Regina pressed a gentle kiss to the top of her hair, pulling her close. “Thank you for letting me capture you like that.”
