Ever since, Mom kept buying the same perfumes without asking us if we wanted to choose one ourselves. Wavel had always been happy with hers.

It smelled perfect. Just like she was.

It smelled of the sweetest, creamiest peach pie with a hint of elegance. Not sure what kind of smell elegance was though.

Mine smelled of caramel. That was it. Just caramel.

I liked it, but I never got complimented on it.

Wavel’s perfume was sitting on the shelf in front of me, and I reached for it to take a sniff. I wasn’t wearing mine today, and I decided to spray some of it on me.

“That’s a lovely scent, isn’t it?”

I turned to the elderly woman standing next to me. She smiled at me, pointing at the perfume I had just put back on the shelf.

“Oh, yes. It’s uh…it’s a bit too sweet for me if I’m honest.”

Lying to nice elderly women now, are we?

“I think I’m going to buy that for my granddaughter. That scent is just as sweet as her. She’s fifteen. Do you think she’ll like it?”

I took a deep breath, taking in the scent that was now lingering on me. I shrugged. “Sure.”

“Would you be so kind and hand it to me?” she asked, pointing at the perfume.

I reached for it and gave it to her with a tight smile. “Hope she likes it.”

“Oh, I know she will. This perfume will be perfect for my sweet Ava.” The woman left, mumbling to herself.

I sighed and decided it was time to find Sly. He hopefully hadn’t left me in this store. My raincoat was dripping all over the shiny floor, and my boots squeaked with every step that I took.

I finally found Sly and walked up to him, showing him the cheese. “Got it. Let’s go home.”

Sly looked at me and nodded, and when he took a step closer, his full body tensed. He stood still, his head was lowered. He was smelling me, and I could feel his breath on my neck.

Never had he gotten this close to me, and I was enjoying every second of it. I closed my eyes for a second before he pulled back and looked into my eyes.

His intense gleam warmed every single inch inside of me. I curled my toes and pressed my thighs together, needing that ache to stop. I wasn’t about to let him turn me on in a store by simply looking at me. Though…the idea of doing something naughty did sound fun.

“Is that your perfume?” he asked, keeping his voice low and his eyes on mine.

“Yes,” I lied. He never even noticed my perfume. But he noticed Wavel’s. Although, he didn’t know it was the same. Shit…I need to steal it from her.

“I like it,” was all he said before stepping away.

Something had shifted in that moment.

He saw me.

He had always seen me. But in that moment, he truly saw me.

And he smelled me. And liked it.

What kind of drug was in that perfume?

I felt a shift of energy. It was strange, but something told me that Sly had finally realized that Wavel wasn’t his only sister. Or the only girl he could like.

I was the same as Wavel.
