Leylavx, Leyla sits on the makeup counter of a folklore dance studio’s dressing room…

Leylavx, Leyla sits on the makeup counter of a folklore dance studio’s dressing room, naked, centered and facing the camera. The camera is square to the mirror wall, at her chest height, with no angle to either side. Her head is tilted back, throat exposed, eyes open, lips parted in a soft moan. Her stomach is tight, slight sweat, shoulders drawn back, thighs braced open. One hand grips the counter, the other rests on the blonde woman’s head. Slim face, high cheekbones, a defined tapering jaw and a narrow pointed chin, medium-full lips with a clear cupid’s bow. Dark hair pulled back off her face. Natural skin, pores, a little shine from the bulbs. No tattoos.

The blonde woman kneels on the tile between Leyla’s feet, back to the camera, not sitting. She sits on her heels only enough to kneel, and both bare soles face the camera, heels up, toes on the floor. Her back is toned, spine and shoulder blades clear, waist narrow. Both hands are wrapped around Leyla’s waist. Her head is buried between Leyla’s thighs, face hidden, mouth on her, hair covering Leyla’s vulva. She is topless. A folklore skirt is bunched at her hips, embroidered hem spilled around her knees.

Behind Leyla the mirrors run flat across the wall, unevenly spaced, with round bulbs in the gaps, a few warmer than the rest. The dark counter is cluttered more on the right: open compacts, loose brushes, a comb, a bottle on its side. To the right of the counter a rack holds folk costumes, embroidered vests and gathered skirts, with a pair of soft dance shoes on the floor beneath it. A pink paper streamer sags in loose loops and dips lower toward the costumes. The center mirror shows the back of Leyla’s head and the bulbs, not a second copy of the pose. Pale tile, beige walls, no one else in the room.

Bulb light, warm on Leyla’s chest and throat and on the blonde woman’s back, soft shadow under the counter. Sharp on both bodies, the soles of the feet, hair strands, the skirt weave, and the nearest compacts. The costume rack is a little softer. Candid phone photo, straight-on, portrait orientation, iphone lens.
