To An Extent

It took more precise use of Natalie's power than she ever needed in the past, and her concentration nearly broke several times in the process. It is quite hard to focus while being photographed in the nude after all, especially when she doesn't know if she can actually pull it off. The price for failure means those photos will be a permanent reminder of her escapades here, and who knows what that could potentially lead to. While that sounded like fun, Natalie felt like she needed to hone her power more before she starts more ambitious adventures. Additionally, Natalie could feel her concentration lapse every time the lifeguard snapped his camera, feeling waves of arousal from her core, disrupting her power. Further more, even without her prompting, the poses he was telling her to do was getting more and more ridiculous, showing that he was truly embracing that power he had in this position. First he wanted some photos of her back as well, then he told her to bend over and touch her toes, as he leaned in to take some pictures of her puckered anus, all in the name of proper documentation of course. Naturally, she complied with his every demand, as the longer this took, the more time she had to work with...or at least that's the excuse. In reality, she was simply enjoying this too much to stop, and she was sure that the photos clearly show exactly how wet she was.

In the end, after the lifeguard had taken several photos, she felt her power taking hold. With utmost care, she manipulated his mind in such a way that he could not directly associate the girl in the photographs with her. Essentially, he perceives them as entirely different people, and is unable to trace the photos back to her. Of course, this had its own limitations, as anyone that he shows this photo to is not subject to the effect, so she also needed to implant a permanent effect into his psyche: that these pictures were for his eyes alone. This was first time she'd ever messed with someone's mind to that extent and despite the mental drain, Natalie felt a sense of accomplishment for reaching a new level of mastery with her ability.

With the matter of her photos and limit testing her abilities done, there was no longer any reason to be staying here in the lifeguard's office. While her bikini was now food for the fishes, her towel is likely still on the beach with her bag containing her street clothes. Is it worth the effort to retrieve? Or is there somewhere else she'd rather be first.
