A Simpler Next #2
I squeeze her fingers and it feels like a promise for a future.
Then she nods to the stairs. “Right now, though, there’s something I want to do.”
I follow her. I’d follow her anywhere.

“A do-over.”
Leighton’s words shimmer in the night air as she leads me into the bedroom. Her camera is perched on the tripod and positioned toward the bed.
A do-over for the day we spent together that started in her studio, and also a do-over for last night.
Except as I glance around the bedroom—ours, this is definitely our bedroom—I wonder if she planned a sexy treasure hunt again.
I scan for the evidence, but of course she’d hide lacy things better for a geocacher like me.
I’ve got a feeling though—a gut feeling—that she means something else.
Something that makes my cells crackle with excitement.
When she meets my searching gaze with mischievous blue eyes, she asks, “Are you ready?”
She has no idea. “I’m always ready for you,” I say.
She tugs on my loosened tie. “Do you still like pictures, Miles?” It’s a tease of a question.
“If you’re in them,” I tell her, running the backs of my knuckles down her cheek.
“Do you still like pictures of both of us?”
Heat roars through me, a scorching fire raging in seconds. “I do.”
“Do you still get off to them?”
I’m a five-alarm blaze now. This woman has my number. “You know I fucking do, sweetheart.”
She nibbles on the corner of her pretty, glossy pink lips. “Then let’s take some pictures of you and me.”
You and me.
The three words I said earlier. It’s like she’s reinventing them. She’s turning them into something wholly new. Something unbearably sexy. Something that’s just for us. And as she unbuttons my shirt, she affirms that, saying, “Just for us.”
“You’re the photographer. We’re the subject,” I tell her, giving her all the permission she needs.
She grabs her little trigger remote from the nightstand, the one she used more than a year ago in her studio. Moving behind the camera, she fiddles with some settings. When she comes around the front once more, she says, “Kiss me the way you want to.”
I take that filthy invitation and I RSVP.
I crush my lips to hers, giving her a hot, deep kiss that goes to my brain.
All my synapses are firing, right along with the camera.
She must be pressing the trigger, since the Nikon is clicking.
My mind is frying and I’m alive and electric with the desire for her.
And…with this pulsing need to see what we look like.
I don’t know when she’ll snap the next ones but I don’t want to waste a second.
After I give her one more deep possessive kiss that has her melting in my arms, I make quick work of her clothes.
Tugging off her shirt, kissing her neck, fiddling with the hooks on her bra.
For a second, I consider the implications.
She’ll be shirtless on camera. But one look at how fearless she is and I know this is what she wants.
I know, too, that she’s in control—that remote in her hand, and the camera she owns are the proof.
I unhook the bra, dropping it onto the bed, because you should be nice to lingerie.
Cupping her tits, I bury my face between them, kissing between the valley.
Drawing the right nipple into my mouth and sucking, biting, grazing my teeth along it until she’s panting in my arms, all while taking pictures of us.
Talk about a multi-tasker. I give the other one the same treatment since fair’s fair when it comes to nipple play.
She clicks, then gasps an “aah.” Grabbing my head with one hand, she breathes out hard and yanks my mouth to hers. She kisses me for a few dizzying seconds all while grappling at my shirt again, hastily shoving it off me while still snapping pictures.
For fuck’s sake, she’s incredible. The way she takes pictures while undressing me is the sexiest thing I’ve ever experienced.
Now, I’m shirtless. That’s nothing new. Nothing that hasn’t been seen on social media a thousand times over. But this is different. Because these images are only for us. Knowing that, I break the kiss but pull her against me, wrap my arms around her then urge her, “Put your arms around me.”
She loops her bare arms around my neck, then presses the button again. I can hear the click of the camera capturing us skin to skin, holding each other in a moment of unchecked desire, but more so…of total trust.
The sound stops and I meet her gaze. There’s so much in her blue eyes—this passion that matches mine, and I hope…the emotions too. But for now, I focus on the physical, asking, “Limits. What are your limits on camera?”
“It’s my camera. As much as you want.”
She’s so fucking fearless. Me too, but I’m also torn. Half of me wants to keep sex itself ephemeral, a memory for our minds only. The other, greedy, dirty part of me wants it all on film. “I want everything till I fuck you. And maybe even that,” I say.
“I guess someone wants it all,” she teases, then holds up a finger and slips away to the bathroom, likely taking out her hearing aids. I’ve learned that’s how she prefers to fuck.
When she returns to me, she lifts her chin. “Take my clothes off.”
That’s all she needs to say.
I’m stripping her bare, peeling off her jeans, then standing in front of her where she’s wearing only a pair of pale pink panties.
I drop to my knees as she pushes the button, capturing me worshipping her like she deserves.
I look up at her and I’m keenly aware of the position, what it says, and more so what it means about us.
She is a goddess. She is my goddess. One hand sifts through my hair, the other takes pictures as my hands circle her waist. I kiss her belly, then lower still and slowly, deliberately peel off those panties.
My engine revs and I groan, need pulsing through me, hot and electric as she steps out of them. I pop up so I can lift her and put her on the edge of the bed. With my back to the camera, and most of her shielded by me, I say, “I want to know how you look when I go down on you.”
She shudders, a full body tremble moving through her.
She doesn’t answer with words. She answers with deeds, grabbing at my slacks and undoing them, then shoving them down my hips.
I yank them off, and I’m wearing only my boxer briefs when she pushes my right shoulder down so I can kneel in front of her on the bed.
“Like this,” she instructs, the photographer positioning her subject.
She leans back, her chestnut hair spilling down her back, her perky tits pointing up, her lovely legs spread for me. The controller in her hand.
My gorgeous, sexy, daring woman.
She’s a gift, and she’s unwrapped herself for me. I bury my face between those pretty thighs and I kiss her sweet, hot pussy on camera.
In seconds she’s panting and moaning, but the camera’s not clicking.
Pride floods me. She’s so into this she forgot to trigger the shot. I stop for a second, squeeze her thigh to get her attention. When she lifts her face and locks eyes with me, I arch a brow. “Take a picture. It lasts longer.”
Her eyes widen, flickering with surprise and filthy delight. “Yes, sir.”
She raises her hand and makes a show of pushing the button on the remote. Again and again, and the Nikon clicks, recording the back of my head, some of her face—who even knows. Her fingers rope through my hair again as I lick and kiss and suck.
But I don’t let her forget her job. “Push the button, baby,” I tell her once more when the camera’s gone silent.
“If you insist,” she says.
“I really fucking do,” I say, in a tone that brooks no argument.
She obeys, then rocks against my mouth, wet and slick and needy and almost there.
A flick of my tongue, a kiss from my lips, a finger crooked inside her, and she’s shaking, shuddering, then dropping the remote, which I’ll call a victory.
Then she shouts my name as she comes on my lips for no one to see later.
That’s okay. The memory’s seared on my mind.
I’m more aroused than any man has a right to be. I’m ravenous to look at all these photos right fucking now.
But first I need to live the rest of it. No, I get to live the rest of it.
Turbocharged by lust, I stand and I stare at the beauty in front of me, flushed cheeks, pink spreading all over her chest, breasts heaving.
I grab her chin, roughly tug her toward me the way she likes. “I made a decision.”
“What do you want, Falcon?” she asks. It’s a challenge and I love it.
“I want it all,” I tell her roughly.
Her eyes sparkle, and I can tell I gave her the exact right answer. “You want us fucking?”
Thank god she’s kinky in all the best ways. The ways that match mine. “You perfect, dirty girl. I want you on all fours. Remote in your hand and you taking pictures when I fuck you good and hard and make you come again and again.”
For a second or two, she hesitates, and I try to read what concerns her. But then I don’t have to because she points to a standing mirror in the corner of my bedroom. “Move the mirror so I can see your face.”
