Erin stepped out of the shower, and looked at the clean bathroom floor.
"Huh, I thought I'd left my sweats there. Maybe Jess picked those up."
She wrapped herself in a towel and used another towel to envelope her hair.
"Jess, are you still in here?"
"Yeah" she called from outside the door. "I'm gonna hop in the shower too. Are you doing your hair?"
"Yeah, can you get my makeup bag for me?"
Jess was glad that she had not forgotten the makeup bag. She opened the door, and handed Erin the bag.
"Oh, you're already naked!" Erin exclaimed, averting her eyes to keep from staring too long.
"Yep, hopping in now!" Jess hopped in to take a quick shower, as she too hadn't showered in the morning.
She made sure her armpits and groin were fully shaven and enjoyed an extra minute or two of warmth before hopping out.
She reached for a towel, and slipped past Erin, who was drying her hair. Jess realized that she missed having long hair like Erin, but she knew Lux wouldn't appreciate it if she grew it out. Sure, she still looked good, with her red-dyed hair almost grown back to shoulder length, but if it had been never been chopped...
"All done! The mirror's all yours, honeybunny." Erin moved out of the way and walked towards the suitcases.
"Before you go, hun, what nickname do you like the best?"
"I don't really go by any nicknames. Erin's already pretty short."
"Oh, damn. Well this is personal, but does Austin call you anything in bed?"
Erin blushed "He calls me Libby. He says it's short for my high libido. Don't tell that to anyone and don't tell him I told you, haha!"
She knelt down in her towel and unzipped her checked bag. What came next was utter shock. "Is this my bag?!? I have to call United!! There's nothing but sex... *things*... in here!"
As she said that, Jess walked out of the bathroom, hair still dripping on the carpet, and explained, "no, Love. That's your bag. I, uh, removed all your clothes and replaced them with those. Our clothes are in the carry-ons."
"Jess, look I like you... but as a friend. You know I have a husband and..."
"No, that's ok. I'm not trying to have you cheat on Austin with me... or anything like that. I guess, I need to explain. I needed to come to the Folsom Street Fair - that's that kink event going on in town! And I needed to bring you."
"What do you mean you needed to bring me? Why didn't you tell me we weren't going to Hawaii?"
"You know how excited you were when you brought me that new smutty book "Story of O"? And how we read it together? Umm... truth bomb: I'm a submissive - like 50 shades. And my dominant mistress asked that I come to San Francisco this weekend - and that I bring a friend. And I obeyed her."
Erin blinked a couple of times, trying to take all this information in and wrap her head around it. "But why me? I don't even like kink!"
"Well I thought you might enjoy it, seeing how you like smut and we both are a little slutty! You liked "Story of O", so I figured you must be at least a little kinky. And you're the best friend I have right now - who else would I bring?"
"Well, whatever you *thought*, I'm not using any of those things," she said, pointing to the assortment of whips, ballgags, butt plugs, ropes, and other accessories. As she said this she opened the carryon luggage, and let out a choking gasp.
"These aren't my clothes!" She shrieked.
"Those are the clothes that we have to choose from, Erin. Those and the ones in my carry-on. Mistress Lux will be here any minute, and we have to be dressed and ready for our dinner engagement."
"No, Jess. I don't want to meet your dominant lady or go out to dinner, especially not wearing something like this! Where are my clothes from today?" Jess walked her to the balcony, where on the sidewalk below lay multiple pieces of fabric.
