"Kari, do you think you can help me pick something out?" The call echoed down the hallway from Kari's mother, Anna. Kari sighed, she thought after all this time, her mother would be able to independently make her own fashion choices. She knew her mother was expecting another big date from yet another one of her admirers that Friday night. What she didn't know, yet, was that the request would be the first test, an initiation of sorts, into her mother's secret life.
"Sure, I'll be right there," Kari called out through her doorway. She had just changed out of her work clothes and was looking forward to relaxing when her phone lit up with another chain of emails from one of her team members at the bank. She finished typing her response as she wandered out into the second floor hallway, turned right at the rail that overlooked the expansive downstairs and then shuffled to her mother's bedroom door at the end of the hall.
Even though Kari had scored a lucrative finance job with a large bank right out of college, she still lived in her mother's spacious home because the two women were best friends. They still went on vacations together and kept no secrets from each other, or so Kari thought.
Kari pushed open the door to her mother's room, eyes still focused in her phone screen.
"Oh," Kari exhaled when she finally pried her eyes from her phone and noticed the sets of lingerie lying on her mother's puffy white comforter.
"So, normally this is the kind of thing I'd ask your Aunt Lucy to help me with... but, since she's away on vacation and you've got such great taste... do you think you could help me pick something out?" Her mother asked with an apologetic pout. The forty five year old woman stood with her left hand leaning up against the door frame that led into her adjoining bathroom. She ruffled her long dirty blonde hair with her right hand and adjusted her bathrobe on her shoulders. "Hope I'm not putting you on the spot."
Kari swallowed hard. The two had always maintained a very open line of communication about their relationships. They'd never been shy about being naked in the house when it came to running to the laundry room to find a shirt or changing clothes with the door open. This was the first time Anna had actually requested her daughter's assistance to try on something so intimate, though.
"Sure," Kari said. "It's just like trying on a bathing suit, right." She actually was curious to see this side of her mother. She thought maybe this was a preview of how her own physique would age over the next two decades..
"Great. I was hoping to get a second opinion on how I look in these. Nothing too trashy, you know. I just want to make sure the night is perfect. I'm going to start with this one," she said as she grabbed a longer black bustier and some lacy panties off the bed. "I just think looking at myself in the mirror doesn't really tell me the whole story."
Kari settled into the soft lounge chair on the wall across from the foot of the bed in while her mother disappeared into the bathroom. She looked down at her own physique. He pert breasts created two perky mounds under her small t-shirt. She crossed her long toned thighs, over one leg and then switched, shifting anxiously while she waited.
After a moment, her mother leaned out of the bathroom doorway, shyly at first and then burst into the room and spun in a circle before stopping to face Kari. She found herself jealous of the way her mother's robust breasts filled out the solid black bra with no slack at all. Even if they were enhanced, Kari always felt a little envious when men looked right past the body she worked hard to shape in order to stare slack jawed at her mother in a low-cut top. The bra extended into a transparent lacy chemise that covered her mother's taught tan stomach. As her mother slowly spun, Kari examined the solid black panties to see how they hugged and supported her ample butt.
"So....?" Anna asked, turning her head over her shoulder to face Kari. Her sandy blonde hair fell down over her right shoulder and Kari found herself in a mental fog as she finished admiring how stunning her mother looked in the set.
"I don't know. It's elegant but kind of conservative. I think you can do better," she said, trying hold back a confusing set of emotions. Kari was genuinely happy to support her mother's goal to feel attractive and desirable but she also felt a transition suddenly happening in the way she saw her mother..
"Ok, let's go in the other direction, then." Anna reached down on the bed and grabbed another set of lingerie and disappeared behind the door.
"This isn't a big deal," Kari thought. "I've seen more of my mother when she wears her little bikinis." And, yet, this was not just a day at the beach. This felt much more intimate to Kari. She was in her mother's bedroom, watching her model lingerie so that she could seduce someone. And Kari was enjoying it.
Before she knew it, Anna was striding back into the room. This time, however, her hands were cupping her bulging breasts. The panties rode high on her hips, allowing Kari to see the outline of her thick posterior even from the front before plunging down between her legs. Her mother's hands were compensating for the cupless bra, a battle her small fingers were barely winning.
"Wow..." Kari whispered as her mother turned around. The thin thong at the back nearly disappeared between her mother's round butt cheeks, leaving very little to the imagination. Kari knew her mother worked hard in the gym and the results showed. Her curvaceous rear cheeks featured only a few dimples as they curved downward from her small waist to the back of her thigh. Her behind seemed to defy gravity as she continued to turn, leaving Kari speechless. As Anna turned back to face Kari, she scrunched her mouth to one side as if in disapproval of her own outfit.
"I mean it's hot and all but kind of trashy, you know?"
"Too much. I know. I thought so," her mother agreed. "I think this last one might be the one, then." Anna reached her left arm across her breasts and held them up as she reached down to grab the last set of lingerie.
She took longer to change this time but, when she emerged, she waltzed through the door looking confident. She wore a lacy black corseted top that held her mountainous breasts in place while teasing plenty of cleavage. The translucent lace in the body of the corset stretched down over her stomach, letting Kari see the outlines of her stomach muscles but still leaving a little to the imagination. A garter belt framed the lacy black panties that sat just above her pubis and connected to long black stockings that started on her tight thick lower thighs and covered her short legs.
"Oh, my goodness," Kari said as she watched her mother gracefully spin in a circle so she could show off the backside. The panties were wide at the top across her butt and stretched down into a small thong strip midway down her butt, allowing Kari to still see the shapely cuffs at the bottom. "I think we have a winner.'
Her mother was smiling as she turned back to look at Kari. She placed her hands on her hips and cocked them to the right.
"I thought you might like this one more. Well, you've been a huge help, honey. It takes such a load off."
