“First I want to get dressed.” Mia looked down at herself—the ripe points of her nipples were pressing prominently against the thin white nightshirt. She wondered again, had her breasts gotten bigger somehow? They seemed perkier too—fuller and bouncier. That was a crazy thought, but the main thing was to get herself more decently covered.
“Probably a good idea,” Sev murmured and she saw his golden eyes flick to her breasts and away again quickly. “Less…temptation that way. Let’s see if the dresser has any clothes for us—like Brother Jonash promised.”
Mia half expected there to be an outfit for Sev and none for her, but this time the dresser had provided something for each of them.
“Well…high fashion it’s not,” she muttered, frowning as she unfolded the loose white dress. She was going to look like a whale in this! She much preferred darker colors—they were so much more slimming. But when in Rome…or in this case, in the PPP Dome…
Mia sighed. She was just going to have to wear it and that was that. She just hoped it had come with some underwear and a bra because the white fabric was pretty thin—almost as see-through as the nightshirt she had on.
“Hey, is there anything else in the dresser?” she asked Sev.
“Hmm?” He already had on the long black trousers which fit him perfectly and was busy fastening the buttons of the long-sleeved, white shirt. Of course he looked amazing in the cult clothes—unlike she was going to look, Mia was sure.
“I said, is there anything else for me? A bra and underwear maybe?” she asked hopefully.
“Let me look.” Sev opened the drawer again and searched. Mia came over to search with him. But though they looked through all the drawers, there was nothing else for her to wear.
“Well, this sucks,” she muttered. She supposed she would just have to wear the bra and underwear she’d taken off yesterday. She didn’t like the idea at all—she put on clean clothes every morning under normal circumstances—but used underwear was better than nothing.
But when she felt on top of the dresser to find her folded pile of clothes from the day before, it was gone.
“Damnit!” she muttered. The dresser was too high for her to actually see the top of it—one of the disadvantages of being so short. “Sev, can you do me a favor and look for my pantsuit?” she asked him. “I left it up here, on top of the dresser, but I can’t find it now.”
Her partner, whose head was well above the dresser in question, shook his head.
“Sorry, Mia—there’s nothing here.”
“What? But I left it up there last night. I was going to put it in the cleaning chute but I decided I didn’t trust the PPP to know how to wash it—it’s supposed to be dry clean only.” Mia shook her head. “Look again, please?”
“I’m looking,” Sev told her. “I’m telling you, there’s nothing. You want me to lift you up so you can see for yourself?”
Mia scowled.
“That’s right—make fun of me for being height challenged.”
Sev shrugged.
“Just trying to help…little one,” he said, a rare smile twitching one corner of his mouth.
It was kind of a running joke between them, only this time it wasn’t funny.
“Where did my clothes go?” she demanded. “Do you think someone snuck in here and stole them last night?”
Sev frowned and shook his head.
“No—I would have smelled them. Heard them too, for that matter. I think the most likely thing is that the dresser itself took your clothes somehow. Look.”
He pushed on the top of the dresser and Mia heard a soft creaking sound.
“Just what I thought,” Sev said. “There’s a kind of door at the top of this thing—it probably leads down to the dirty clothes chute.” He shrugged. “I’m sorry, Mia—I think your suit is probably gone. It must have gotten sucked down the chute last night.”
“Great—and good luck getting it back again. I’m sure the PPP is one of those cults where the women always wear dresses because trousers are “unfeminine.”
Sev frowned.
“Was your sect like that?”
“Oh, absolutely.” Mia nodded glumly. “I didn’t wear anything but dresses and skirts foryears.”She shook her head. “I’m not exactly happy to go back to them, either. Especially if I have to wear them with nothing underneath!”
