"You want me to read horoscopes?" Emma stepped backwards from Regina, and cranked the water on her shower all the way over to cold. The temperature change was immediate and icy water rushed over her. Her teeth began to chatter immediately, as far as drowning out her arousal, it did nothing.
"No, I meant to say Astronomy not astrology," Regina corrected herself. "You had me all distracted."
Emma wasn't sure, but that sounded like Regina was blaming her for practically begging for her to touch her. These so called rules sure had funny stipulations that seemed to suit Regina's needs and not take into account Emma's. "Um…Yeah, so when are you going to distract me? I distracted you pretty well by the sound of it, and yet here I am left high and wet with no distractions in sight."
Regina flicked her wrist skyward and looked annoyed as she stepped out and wrapped her towel around herself. "Counselor Swan, I've had a long day and I already thanked you for helping me relax…it was very good. Is that better?"
"Not really," Emma muttered and stuck her head under the freezing stream of water. "I'll just distract myself when we get into bed."
"Bed time is a long ways off; we have to position the telescope tonight in preparation."
Emma made a face and turned off the water, reaching for her own towel she pushed the plastic curtain back and pointedly shook her wet hair in Regina's direction. "I'm tired, I didn't get any sleep last night and as you said it was a long day so can't this wait until tomorrow?"
"No," Regina huffed and crossed her arms and got dressed in an aggressive manner. "You see at night when the moon and constellations are visible, and tomorrow night you'll be leading the field trip to view the eclipse so I would think you would welcome my help to avoid looking like an idiot in front of the whole camp."
Emma could feel the tension seeping into her muscles, her mood was already hopelessly deteriorated and she hated when Regina acted like she was above her. Emma pulled on a pair of shorts and a shirt. "Fine, let's just get it done."
They stopped by the director's office and Regina opened a closet and retrieved a backpack. "Get the telescope."
Emma rolled her stiff neck, her muscles were already sore from her workout earlier and the cold water had stiffened them up. The telescope was in a soft case and super heavy. "I hope we're setting this up just outside of here."
"Of course not, we have to go to the top of the hill where the expanse of sky is optimally viewed."
They started their trek through the woods and uphill in the dark, while Emma struggled with the massive telescope. "How did I pull constellation duty anyhow?"
"You'll see why," Regina answered cryptically. "Do you even know what this camp is named after?"
"A cheesy and delicious Mexican dish?" Emma guessed and repositioned the telescope. It was so awkward to carry. Regina was ahead of her and branches kept snapping back and hitting Emma in the face.
"No, Auriga means 'the Charioteer'. It's a constellation comprised of Capella and a cluster of stars called 'the Kids.'"
Emma looked up through the trees, the stars were exceptionally bright in the clear summer sky and there were so many of them. The incline grew steeper and she struggled to catch her breath as they continued to walk. "So where is Auriga?"
"It's mostly visible in October," Regina informed her and Emma could see that she was reading out of a book.
"Are you sure you know where we're going? I'm completely lost out here," Emma needed a break, but she wasn't going to give Regina the satisfaction. She was already getting eaten up by bugs and her skin was sweaty from exertion. She'd probably need another unfulfilling shower if they ever got back.
"Just a little further," Regina promised. A little further turned out to be a lot further, but when they finally reached the highest point on the hill the view of the night sky was breathtaking.
Emma sat the telescope down on the grass and bent over to recover. She felt like she had just run a marathon. Regina kept busy by unpacking and setting up the telescope. She brought a picnic blanket out from the back pack and spread it out on the grass.
"Start reading," Regina tossed her a blue book and Emma looked at the title: The Audubon Society Field Guide to the Night Sky. She lay back on the blanket and held up the book, trying to locate the major constellations like the big dipper and Orion's belt.
The book was informative, but cumbersome and hard to read in the dark. She pulled out her phone and Google sky map. That was much better as she started calling out and pointing at the constellations while Regina adjusted the telescope.
"I'm impressed…" Regina started to say, but then she took a look at Emma and realized she was cheating. "What are you doing?"
"What? I got this. I'm totally prepared to point out the constellations to the kiddos. And look…" Emma pointed. "I even found the moon. Where's my cookie?"
Regina placed her hands on her hips and watched Emma look into her screen. "If you're a self appointed expert than I do say this trip was for nothing since you already know everything about the Night Sky."
Emma squinted up at her, blinking to make out her expression, and get an idea of what Regina was trying to say. She noticed that she could be very direct when she wanted, but sometimes she was so obtuse that Emma couldn't understand. One thing was certain; Emma was not ready to carry the damned telescope back down the hill. "We don't have to go back just yet…we just got out here. Come lie down and look at my app."
Emma watched Regina pace around for a minute and then heard her make some indistinct grumbles under her breath, but eventually she got on her knees and turned over to slide in next to Emma on the blanket. She handed the phone over and let her play around.
As she tilted the device back and forth she started to speak. "When my father ran this camp he used to take me out all the time and make up stories about the different stars. We'd wish on certain ones."
Emma wanted to touch the woman next her, but she refrained. She wasn't about to give her any more satisfaction, not when there was still a dull nagging unfulfilled ache between her own legs. "Did your wishes come true?"
She turned onto her side and faced Emma directly, "Always."
The way she spoke turned Emma on even more, but she wasn't done asking questions. "What about Mister Camp Director Mills?"
"There isn't any Mister in my life except for my son, Counselor," Regina chuckled softly.
Outside in the calm and quiet of the evening she looked younger and happier. But that was probably due to the wondrous orgasm she had enjoyed at Emma's miraculous hands.
"Oh…just wondering."
Regina ran her fingers down Emma's arms and sighed passively, "Can I tell you why I really brought you out here all this way tonight?"
Emma watched her closely, she was moving closer, her hand steadily stroking up and down her arm. Every nerve ending was on high alert, even the gentle breeze felt like a lover's caress.
"To torture me?"
She shook her head, "No, to reward you."
She lifted up a bit onto her elbow and searched through the darkness before pointing at something, "Do you see that marker over there?"
Emma lifted her head and saw a red flag stuck in the grass at the edge of the clearing, "Yeah."
"That marks the boundaries of Camp Auriga property. Technically, we're about ten feet off of camp, so in my opinion, that means…"
"The rules don't apply."
