Take My Breath Away
In her bathtub at night, shy nerdy teen Lucy (Gracie May Green) stares up at the ceiling, unmoving. When her finger is all the way in, she pauses for a moment, then starts slowly moving it in and out to pleasure herself. After a half-minute or more, fully immersed in her fantasy, she inhales a single long drawn out breath through her teeth, as she slowly slips under the water, submersing herself.
