“Talk tome, honey. What’s going on?” There was no judgment in her tone.
“I have been kind of seeing someone. It’s still new and very complicated. I don’t know what we are, okay? So don’t ask. We haven’t really talked about it. I don’t want to talk about it anymore. Can we please just move on?” I was desperate to talk about literally anything else.
“That sounds like a splendid idea, dear.” My mother smiled. “But just know, I want you to be happy, however that looks for you. Just please make sure you are being safe.”
“Okay, Mother! Jesus.” I wanted to gag at the thought of my mother knowing anything about sex. I liked to think she’d had sex twice in her life, and the results were sitting at the same table, and she would never do it again.
Aside from the nauseating conversation about my sex life, I was happy to have this family time. It wasn’t often that I got to talk to my mother or sisters, and it was nice. Except for Sophie—she could’ve stayed in Portland.
Chapter Twenty-Five
Blair
It took two hours and eight dresses to find the one I wanted for Fallon’s wedding.It was powder blue and simple, but I absolutely loved it. I just hoped Drea would too.
I went into the dress shop with the intention of getting something I would love, not thinking of anyone else.
But as I started trying on dresses, I couldn’t help but think of her. Would she like this one? How would it feel to have her take it off? Was this one easy to put on and slip off? Would she think I looked beautiful or would she tell me if she didn’t?
After that, every dress I tried on, I asked myself if she would like it. The employee who was working was very helpful and asked me what I liked and didn’t like about the dress. Eventually, I broke down and admitted that I was going with someone and I wanted her to like it too.
“Oh, sweetie, I wouldn’t worry. You are gorgeous, and I’m sure she will like you in anything you pick. Choose something for you,” she told me after the sixth dress I tried on.
I knew she was right, so I tried on a few more until I found the one I loved. I felt confident in it, so I knew it was the one.
After I left the store, I walked around the mall for a little while longer, stopping to grab a pretzel since I hadn’t eaten all day.
As I was heading out toward my car, I noticed a store I would’ve normally walked by without another glance,but being with Drea, I’d been doing things I’d never even thought about doing before, so why not?
I walked into the lingerie store and smiled shyly at the cashier who greeted me. I told her I didn’t need help, that I was just browsing, and I was thankful she didn’t try to insist. Perhaps she noticed my red cheeks and shy demeanor and decided to leave me alone.
I had never worn anything like these before—lacy and barely there. But I was still thinking about Drea. I wanted to do something she wouldn’t expect, and I wanted to get her reaction.
The thought of her getting so turned on just by how I looked, and fucking me senseless while wearing one of those, turned me on so much I had to clench my thighs together. I was definitely leaving this mall with two bags.
I walked around the store, taking in all the different options. The lace, the leather, the strings. It was all too much and I felt out of my element, but I had made it this far, so I was determined to at least circle the rest of the store.
I made it to the back of the store where they had things that were more up my alley. Lacey corsets and babydoll dresses. They had schoolgirl outfits and other kinds of costumes as well.
There were so many options that I didn’t know what to go with. I knew I wanted something I could be confident in, but also something comfortable.
I started looking at the babydoll styles. They looked cute and very comfortable, and I could wear them without underwear, so that could work.
They had different colors, but I felt like a forest green would be the best. Partly because I loved the color, and partly because Drea’s first compliment to me was when I was wearing a forest-green dress.
This babydoll dress was short, as I suspected it was supposed to be, and left the boobs exposed. I knew my boobs were her favorite part of me, seeing how she could never keep her hands or mouth off them anytime she was around them, so I knew this dress was the perfect choice.
I took it off the rack and headed for the counter to pay, when I stopped. A display right before the counter had a variety of toys and other pleasurable items. A hot-pink one caught my eye. I’d been wanting to try something like it for a while, but the idea of trying it with Drea sent a spark of pleasure through me.
I grabbed it a little too eagerly and made it to the counter. The cashier greeted me with a bright smile. “Hi, did you find everything you needed today?”
I tried to hide my blush. I wasn’t used to buying anything from a sex store. “Um, yes, thank you.”
She started scanning the items, and I couldn’t help but fidget and look anywhere else. “Oh, this is a very good choice. My partner and I have used it on more than one occasion. You’re really going to enjoy it.”
I blushed at the thought of using it with Drea. I had an idea as to what we could do with it, and now I was even more excited, in more ways than one. “Oh. Thank you,” I said nervously.
I was grateful she seemed to have picked up on my shy expression and didn’t continue to try to have a conversation as she finished checking me out.
