“Yes, you can stay, sweetie. Your dad will bring you more clothes tomorrow.”

“I have to go now.” Erin hugged her children and distributed last minute recommendations. “All in bed by eight. Lights off at eight-thirty.”

Tim hugged Brianna and Erin’s children. “See you tomorrow.” He led Erin to his car and drove away, his heart light.

Instead of going straight to his house, Tim stopped by the Town Center.

“Do you need to buy something?” she couldn’t help asking.

Discomfort and tension warred in his eyes. “Yes. Huh… I wanted to buy you something, but I prefer you choose it with me.” His lips stretched into a thin line and he glanced at her.

As she turned and looked at him curiously, he didn’t answer and parked the car. “We don’t have much time. Come.” Holding her hand, he sprinted straight to Victoria’s Secret.

“Oh my God.” She blushed, her jaw sagging.

His face flushed. “You were so frustrated with your breast-feeding bra, and I know you don’t have time to go shopping, so…so I thought we’d do it together.” He paused, frowning. “Erin, I hope I haven’t offended you.”

“No, no. It’s okay.” Poor Tim, he seemed more embarrassed than she was.

“I wanted to surprise you, but I’ve never bought feminine apparel. I wouldn’t know what to get.”

She chuckled, thrilled with his admission. Despite his attractive appearance, this man wasn’t a playboy used to seducing women. “It’s okay, Tim. We’ll choose together. You pick the color. I get the type and size.” She was curious to find out his taste.

“How about this one?” He pointed to a red bra, with lace on the upper part and satin on the lower.

“Let me try it.” She took the appealing piece and went into a fitting room.

Man, it was lovely, enhanced her breasts and improved her posture. She would let him offer her the red and buy it in beige and black to wear at work.

“It fits perfectly,” she said when she returned.

“In that case, we’ll take the others, too.”

“What others?”

“I like the black, the pink, the navy, and the beige, too. And look at the matching panties.” His chin tilted toward cute underwear that looked like lace mini shorts.

He had great taste. Erin smiled. “If you like them, I’ll buy them all.” Now that she had money, she could afford to spoil herself for Tim’s sake.

He collected the four sets but refused to let her pay. “We have to rush home.”

As soon as they arrived, Erin grabbed her shopping bag. “I’ll go try them on.”

For nothing in the world would she let him see her in the old bra that hardly fit her. In the bathroom, she opened the bag and gasped. There was another bag inside it. Opening it with frantic fingers, she pulled out two short nighties.

“Wow, they’re so pretty.” Both silk, one pink with black lace lining the chest and the other beige with red lace. She stripped in two seconds, and tried the red bra and panties, and squealed in delight, feeling ten years younger. She slipped on the nightie and spun in front of the mirror.

Tears tickled her eyes and love swelled in her heart for the man who’d not only offered help and support, but also made her feel desirable and cherished. She would do her best to show him her love. Snatching the elastic band holding her ponytail, she fluttered her hair and combed it with her fingers.

Opening the door, she called, “Tim?”

He wasn’t too far away, standing in boxers, his chest bare, holding two glasses and bottle of wine in his hands. He faced her, and his jaw slacked. “Oh… Wow. Babe, you’re a beauty, a dream-come-true, lovelier than in my fantasy.”

She threw her arms around him. “Thank you, Tim. You make me feel special.”

“You are special, sweetheart. Give me a sec to get rid of these before I dropped them.” He set the bottle and glasses on the dresser and held her shoulders. “I’m glad you’re happy. And so sexy.”
