I was in a dressing room, just pulling on a new pair of jeans that, if I did say so myself, looked pretty good on me. And they should; this was an upscale store, and they weren't cheap. I was checking myself out in the mirror when I heard a bit of commotion from the front of the department store. It was one of those dressing rooms with a bathroom-stall style door -- it closed, and locked, but left about a foot of visible space under the door of the tiny room.
In that foot of space under the door, I could see a pair of feet in sneakers, and hear a muttered, "
Shit."
After a moment, it was feet and knees. And then legs and hips. And then a young woman's face peered up at me, assessing. After a beat, she slid, dexterously, into the changing room under the door. She immediately hopped up onto the small bench that was against one of the walls of the changing room.
There were footsteps from outside the door.
A lot had happened, I was wearing an unbuttoned pair of jeans, and my mind was still catching up with events when there was a tentative voice from outside the door; it was the sales associate who had showed me to the dressing room. "Um, sir?"
"Yes?" I answered, curiously, my eyes on the girl perched on the bench.
"I know you've been trying on outfits, but just checking to see if you've seen or heard a young woman come through here? Young, maybe in her mid 20s, short, with dark hair? We've seen her here before; she may be shoplifting."
The young, black-haired, short, roughly-mid-20s woman in front of me was holding, I realized, a variety of clothing draped over one arm.
"I, uh..." I trailed off, hesitating.
What the fuck was the right thing to do?
She certainly
looked
like she was shoplifting. I gave her a more thorough once over.
She was petite, with long, straight, black hair. Her skin was pale, with dark makeup and lipstick. A patchwork of black tattoos stood out on her pale arms -- a skull, some roses, a dagger or sword, some kind of bird of prey. The overall effect was both feminine and goth. She had a toned, slender build, was wearing black leggings and a black athletic tank top -- if I had seen her on the street, she could've been coming from or on her way to the gym. Except, you know, that she was apparently stealing stuff from the store.
My eyes admittedly lingered on the tank top. For a smaller girl, she was...well,
generously
endowed. And the tank top was very flattering, tight and supportive. I couldn't help but stare for a moment at the full cleavage the top created.
But eventually, my eyes met hers. Green eyes looked back at me. Pretty, almost elfin features; the glint of a nose piercing. She was shaking her head, a look of mild concern on her face. I glanced at the clothes she was holding onto, all still with the store tags on them.
Pretty, but definitely a shoplifter
, I thought ruefully. Helping her hide would be a bad idea. I opened my mouth to be a good, law-abiding citizen.
She reached up with one hand, still making eye contact with me, and hooked one finger in the top of her tank top, pulling it down, putting even more smooth, pale cleavage on display. Her tits looked
great
. As I watched, she pulled the top lower; at this point, the tank top was just barely still covering her nipples. She cocked her head to one side, perhaps slightly amused, waiting to see what I'd do.
My reaction was simple: I was staring openmouthed. In my defense, not only was she hot, but this was a weird, unexpected situation to process. A few seconds passed, before the sales associate prompted, again, "Sir?"
Fuck it.
"Uh...sorry, trying to figure out if these pants fit. No, haven't heard or seen anything like that back here..." The cheeky smile on the woman's pretty face was a nice reward.
"Oh, okay. Well, if you hear anything or see anything, please let us know; she might still be in the department store." We both held still, listening to the associate move out of the dressing room area.
"W...what are you
doing
?" I stammered at her.
"Trying not to get arrested," she whispered, pulling her hand away from her tank top. "And keep your voice down. It's not like you'd be talking to yourself while you were trying on clothes."
"Well, good luck. I did you a solid. You should go," I hissed at her. I made a shooing motion with my hand.
"Whatever, it's not like it was out of the kindness of your heart. You just liked
the view
. And I can't leave yet. The coast probably isn't clear; they're still looking for me. I'm staying." She looked defiantly at me.
"Well,
I'm
gonna go then..."
I leaned towards the door, but she reached out and grabbed my arm. "No, you can't. If you go, the dressing room won't be being used. They can't search it while you're using it to try on clothes; it's store policy. You have to stay."
"Hey, I'm not your accomplice, lady, I'm..." I trailed off as she hooked her finger back into her tank top, pulling it down again. The smooth, even skin of her breasts, that cleavage...
fuck
. Her tits really were
hot
. I could feel my cock getting hard.
"Look, I saw the way you were staring. I'll make it worth your while if you help me out," she whispered, a crooked smile on her face.
I was torn. She was hot, but she was also obviously...well, up to no good, right? "Why are you even shoplifting this stuff anyway?" I whispered back.
She shrugged. "It's pretty straightforward. I like nice clothes and I don't make much money." She let her tank top go. "Now. Poke your head around the corner and ask if they'll bring you another couple of pairs of jeans in different sizes or colors. While you've got a view of the department store, see if they've called security or the cops. If they haven't, I'll just make a break for it."
I considered. "What do I get for helping you?"
Her lips quirked up. "Want to see me model an outfit? I picked out some good stuff..."
Draped over her arm, I could see sundresses, crop tops, some lingerie...I hesitated, but only a moment, before nodding. I was torn, but she was hot enough that the risk seemed worth it.
I peered around the corner. Sure enough, there were one or two mall cops talking to the sales associate fairly animatedly. She glanced my way and came over. I explained that the pair of jeans I had on felt a little tight, didn't quite fit right, and that I wanted to try a larger size and their athletic cut. The sales associate nodded, looking a little relieved to be having a more normal interaction with a customer, and said she'd bring some by to the dressing room.
I returned, to find that the would-be shoplifter had changed.
She was standing, looking at herself in the mirror. The athletic wear was stacked neatly in a tidy pile on the bench. Instead, she was wearing a sundress. Pale yellow, with a deep scoop neck that showed off those big tits, and short, showing off creamy thighs.
The tenseness of the situation --
would I be in trouble if the store realized I was helping her?
-- heightened the arousal I was feeling, being in an enclosed space with this woman. My mouth was dry. "Y-you look, uh, good..."
