"Ok, Mr.Universe."Connie teased as she stretched, "How do you want me? Action-packed? Kittenish? Reflective?"
Steven chuckled, kissing her again, camera in hand, " Can you give me...Thoughtful?"
She cocked her hip out to the side, but instead of placing her hand over her chest, she placed it close to her lips. "Oh, I can be so thoughtful!" She whispered seductively. Her eyes sparkled with mischief. Her fingers twitched to touch the hand resting on her hip, but she kept them perfectly still.
"That's more scheming than thoughtful, You mischievous minx." Steven smirked, taking a shot of her, "sexy as hell, though."
"Well, I am thinking about you." She winked.
"You were thinking about kissing me before those pictures, with your hand on your hips and your shoulders back." He teased
"I can't seem to stop thinking about you kissing me." She trilled. "I bet you can't, either."
"Oh really?" He chuckled, "well, I do like your lips. Though, he gave a mic mischievous and salacious grin, "Bet you have something else on your mind. Something oh so naughty.
"Oh really?" Connie echoed breathily, biting her lip as she took a few steps closer, her every sway from her hips and step to the left and right, a seductive dance as she slowly moved until she was close enough to caress his cheek, one side of her lips pulling up into the most alluring smirk,
"I thought you wanted to be professional?"Steven smirked, looking into Connie's beautiful black eyes.
"Well, you can blame that on my libido, Mr improper. But I know better than to take the bait from my flirtatious and horny photographer." she gave a small peck to his lips before pressing them to his ear, "I have to be...thoughtful now." Connie whispered, her voice dripping with seduction," thinking about taking your heart...and more" She pecked him in last time before returning to her spot, slowly.
Steven gave a soft gasp as she pulled away from him, his hands slightly shaking as he held the camera. No one could Connie's way of putting her heart and soul into anything she does.
From her movements to how she spoke to him to how she carried herself, not to mention her lovely body, the way she fought, danced, or did anything, was always so tempting for him.
Memories of earlier flowed into his mind, of Connie snuggling and smelling his sweaty turtle neck and claiming it as her new sleepwear with pride.
He could not help but imagine that jutting out hip, her hand reaching out for him, her biting her lip in that, her voice, seductive as all hell, whispering in his ear, promising him something so marvelous, before she darted away.
He could not even begin to imagine what she had in store when they returned to the hotel, after this night was over, as the mental image from earlier returned.
Connie, wearing his turtleneck, which would probably fit her frame like a short sweater dress. A dangerously short one...with her lime green underwear peeking. This time with a bit and a wanton expression.
"Come on, Mister." Connie teased him with her impish smile and love-filled eyes, "thoughtful, right? Should I be Reflective? Remorseful? Longing?" She bent forward by her waist, " What kind of face and pose does my Mister want from his Heàrtberry?"
'I love her.' Steven thought as he gazed at her innocent seduction in her 'Asuka Langley 3.0' Cosplay. "Hmm... I have an idea."
"Oh!?"
"A look that shows you're lost in thought as if you're getting a new idea or something, or."
"Like someone who's thinking about me."
Connie laughed a bit of a blush on her cheeks due to his boldness. Their flirty fighting was back on. She could not help but tremble with want. "That's a little sappy and cliché."
"Oh, but it's true. You're thinking about me right now, aren't you." Steven raised his eyebrow as he spoke. "Maybe you have an idea of your own."
'Oh, no, he saw through me.' Connie thought to herself, trying to keep her cool facade.
"Maybe." She grinned before sitting down on the floor, pulling her knees parallel to her breast height, turning to her side, resting her elbow on her knee, holding her chin with a hand before looking at him—a look of longing on her face.
Steven and Wanda both were caught off guard with her melancholic and subtle beauty as he took the shot, "Turn this way." He requested, completely awestruck.
The way she looked at him with a face that said she was giving him a big part of her heart, a dreamy look in her eyes. It looked like she was ready to be comforted and safe in his arms, but currently, she was still hesitant because, in the back of her mind, she was still the strong, dependable Connie.
"I think you should get that shot." Wanda smiled.
"Yeah, I think you're right," Steven muttered to himself. He peered through his lens and watched the sadness on Connie's face. It was the perfect picture, but he knew it was a picture of Connie's longing, desire, and love.
She looked like a sad angel in that position.

'What a shot!' Steven thought.
"How's that?" She stuck out her tongue in her normal jest.
"Damn beautiful, what was going through your mind?"
"Well, I..." She turned around, looking over her shoulder at him, a shy look in her black eyes, a bashful smile on her face.
He took that shot instinctively, getting a smile from her.
"...was thinking of how you're not going to be here for my birthday."
Steven blinked. "I…I'm sorry?"
"Hey, none of that." She beamed in gentle reprimand. " You have your responsibilities..." She faced him, "Besides, look at what you set up for me. A cosplay photoshoot, A whole weekend together in Empire City. Got me feeling like a superstar."
You know you are." He grinned, getting her in his camera crosshairs, crotch low
Connie gave him a playful snarl as she crossed her arms and furrowed her brows, her face in faux anger.
"Come on; you can show me more anger." He teased her. " Channel your inner Asuka...Bring out that psycho."
With a breath, Her face went blank as she let her arms drop to her side. Hands hanging limp.
Her eyes, once bright and happy, became dead, dull, and lifeless. Her face, once filled with mirth and passion, melted into a terrifying expression of sadistic anger and rage.
"Hold it," Steven yelled as he took the shot.
Connie's face, once fierce and full of vigor, returned to its bright self.
"Hmm.." Connie brought a hand to her chin, " I think I did a good job being an angry psycho."
"Definitely captured the Eva-Vibe." Wanda complimented her.
"Hey, that's very good, you know." Steven admitted, "Look like I was watching 3.0."
"I don't know how to take that." Connie joked, shaking her head.
"Told you, you make psychotic breaks hot."
"So what next...Dominant, maybe."
"Show me dominance."
Connie cooed as she pushed him down to kneel in front of her. She traced a thin finger up his cheek, bringing his gaze to hers. Half-lidded eyes with a left arched brow and a left side smirk looked down at the camera as her left wrist caressed the inside curve of her right thigh. Her right hand rested on her upper thigh while her body leaned forward, her left knee bent. Her hands pushed her breasts forward, and her right hip pushed out.
'Fuck, I feel like prey in her eyes.' Steven mused as he felt his spine tremble in excitement.
"You seem to like being under my domain." Connie teased, purring dangerously.
Steven gulped and nodded as he took that shot like a grown-up possessed, which he most likely was.
Connie looked down and laughed a bit, whispering in his ear, "Such a good compliment." She licked behind his ear, feeling him tremble.
'She's got the look and mannerisms of a Goddess of War, ' Steven thought, 'and she's about to cut me down my defenses for her pleasure.'
"C'mon, what else you got?" Connie pressed, giving him a loving suckling nip upon his bottom lip, "we're down to the last one, the final picture me...Then we switch."
"Well, I think you need a new pose."
"Oh, Ok." Connie shrugged as she wrinkled her nose and smirked, looking into his eyes. She laid on the floor with her knees to her breasts, wrapped her arms around them.
Connie's hands rested between her thighs while her lower body tilted upwards, and she arched her back, head tilted to the side, staring at him from the corner of her eye.
Her bottom lip disappeared into the mouth of her soft, full lips, and she licked it.
Despite being completely covered in her red bodysuit, that was her Asuka cosplay and having cosplay safe underwear. The camera angle emphasized her womanly body the way he found to be so appealing and arousing.
She turned her head to look at him, making herself look even more enticing.
Steven looked at the camera, then back to the picture he was mentally creating.
'I should take this shot,' He thought. ' I should...I should... I should... I should...'
He saw the slightest twinkle of mischievous nature in her eyes. She knew what she was doing.
'Oh, This little minx,' Steven thought to himself, smiling. 'Don't do it yet; just bask in her.' He gazed at her.
"Oh, I see she's got an idea of her own," Wanda whispered from the side. "I like this."
"Hey, Mister," Connie said, looking at him with a naughty tease, "this pose is fun and all...but the arch is not the comfiest."
"But you look so seductive," Steven said truthfully.
"Oooh, you're so sweet, Mister."
"This one's a bit provocative..." Steven said, referring to Connie's looking at him as if she was about to devour him whole. "
"I'm not afraid to be a bit vixenish," Connie said, grinning, before using her hands to push her breasts up, more so with her head to the side.
"I think you are the most beautiful woman that I've ever met." Steven said with a gush, "I'm in love with you Connie, I'm in love with the shape of you." He sang teasingly.
"You're a damn dork, Mister." She sighed adoringly, "I'm gonna eat you for being so sweet and gamy." She bit at him like a shark.
'I thought I was the one SINKING THEM IN.' He thought, rubbing his neck.
"There should be a God damn law against being so alluring." He growled flirtatiously.
"We would be arrested instantly." Connie said with a giggle, " Thanks for saying that; I did want to end my solo with a bang."
"Trying to set the bar when you snap my pics, huh?! I see." He poked her cheek and gave her a gentle peck."You definitely succeeded. " He pulled away, camera at the ready
"Bi~isky!" She swoons, almost breaking her pose.
"Hey, now keep that pose and energy, don't break it." Steven chided her, forcing her back in the pose. "Good, I love it."
He kissed towards her, taking the shot. "Well, I think this is the most bang-worthy pose of the shoot."
"I have never taken a picture with such a beautiful model." He continued, kissing her deeply.
"Suck up." Connie swatted his shoulder as she gave a melty pur.
"Naw, just honest." Steven said with a smirk, "By the way, that was an excellent shot." He pecked her again
"I agree," Wanda stated, who smiled.
"I can see it now." He teased, "You're going to be on magazine covers soon. They're gonna say, 'Who is that gorgeous woman on the cover of the newest issue of Vogue?" And they'll have to say 'That's amazonian cosplay model Connie Maheswaran' and they'll say 'Who's Connie Maheswaran? Why she's been on the cover of Thai Vogue, Chinese Vogue, Russian Vogue, and Vogue's everywhere.'"
Connie playfully hit Steven's shoulder, "You're so full of yourself."
"Heartberry, " he leaned down before pressing his lips on hers," If anyone's full of me...It's you."
"You're the one who's full of me." She teased.
"I look forward to exploring your depths, my love." He responded to her.
"Oh, that's a promise." She pointed as she stretched, " Still, this was fun and harder than I thought."
"Honey, you did awesomely for your first modeling shoot." Wanda praised, handing them some water, " and you, Steven, have the skills needed to be a photographer, more so than last time we met."
"Thanks, Wanda. " Steven smiled as he took a sip of his water.
"AW, come on. No need to stroke my ego so much." She chuckled as she pulled her knees to her breasts, sitting up as she wrapped her arms around her knees.
Her right hand was on her right knee, while Connie left hand passed over her left leg. Her head tilted to the right, and her smile was big and bright. She looked to her left, a bit bashful by her smile but still happy.

"Mister!" Connie whined as she covered her face, "I wasn't ready." She peeked at him behind her fingers, beaming.
The smile Steven captured on camera is the one that will shine in his heart and gem whenever he thinks of her. "Making this my new screensaver. "
"Told you, I'll give you one."
"You gave me many." He set the camera down and joined her on the floor. Pulling her hands from her face, "You're an awesome muse, an awesomely, beautiful gorgeous muse and woman."
"You make me feel that way." She grinned," I love being your muse, Steven." She chuckled.
"C'mere, you," Steven said as he pulled her into his lap for a kiss, which she returned.
The kiss deepened as her hands roamed his back and his hand wrapped around her waist. Her legs wrapped around his waist and hips.
Steven closed his eyes and just let the sensation of their lips dance together, and their tongues intertwined wash over him. It felt like an eternity since they felt like this.
And Steven treasured every single sensation.

"Oh, those little moments," Wanda said as she panned the camera to Steven, who was kissing Connie. "So I guess a ten-minute break is needed.
"Yep, she needs it after her shoot." Steven said, looking at the camera," a perfect one at that."
"That's because you shot it." She poked his nose.
"That's because they were your pictures." He kissed her finger.
"Oh, that's your stance?"
"It is." Steven nuzzled into her neck, looking the camera dead in the eye." They are the masterpieces of memories."
"You know what the best part about these is?" Connie said, glancing at the camera," is that..." She paused as she noticed Steven was looking at the camera as she was. She giggled. "...They are now both our masterpieces and memories..and only halfway through."
"Yeah, they are," Steven said, smiling at her.
"You two relax for a moment. " Wanda stated as she got Steven's camera, " I'll take care of the album." She grinned.
"Thank you." Wanda stated and put the camera down," I'll be right back."
"No, thank you." She and Steven said together.
Wanda giggled, "You're welcome."
"Do you know what else is awesome?" Connie said as she straddled him," I'll show you."
"What would that be?" Steven said, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"This." And she kissed him again, passionately.
Steven closed his eyes and returned her kiss.
A minute later, she broke their kiss, panting just a bit. Her forehead rested on Steven's, and her eyes were closed, but she used them to peer at him.
Steven used the time to study her. She was panting a bit, but she was still smiling.

"Now that is a good shot." Wanda teased.
"You're just as bad and sneaky as Alex." Steven sneered half-heartedly.
"Where'd you think she got it from?" Wanda teased, kissing both their cheeks. " I'll be back, darlings..this should give a chance to talk about what you promised, Steven." She grinned like a Cheshire, seeing Connie's curious head nod.
"What did you promise?" Connie asked, getting a sheepish chuckle.
"Ummm. How would you feel about doing a wedding shoot with me, Heartberry? As a battle bride?"
