β"Will this be all for you, today?" The woman behind the counter smiles as she gathers the soft fabrics placed before her. I nod, quickly, and flash a smile of my own. Behind me I feel your hand tracing light circles at the small of my back, and I try not to shift my hips too much. Reading my thoughts, your hand moves slightly to steady me, balancing me with your palm and sending heat into my skin. I shiver and hope it goes unnoticed.
Pink, white and gold bits of silk and lace flutter among sheets of tissue paper, wrapped and placed carefully into bags. A jet-black garter and waistband set is selected, and the woman lingers with the velvet arranged delicately across her fingers. She looks up, and for a moment I fear we've been caught.
"If I may," she inclines, "there's an absolutely gorgeous pair of stockings that match this particular set." Her gaze moves to a corner of the shop and we both turn our heads to follow. "Sheer, black mesh past the knee, and a band of impossibly soft velvet caressing up the inner thigh." She motions to a small display under a spotlight.
"Caressing, hmm..." you murmur, your lips hidden in my hair as you pull me a little closer. "Be a good girl and go get a pair," you whisper, while turning to address the woman. "That's a great suggestion," you smile back at her. "Thank you." When your hand lifts from my back I immediately lose, and crave, the heat of you. The small room seems larger now that I have to cross it.
The lighting in the boutique is dim and intimate, making our exchange of smiles and items appear illicit, almost like a secret. As I slip away from the counter I feel my thighs, slick and sticky, moving and sliding against one another. My heartbeat quickens. We've got a secret of our own.
