Chapter 2

"What do you think, red or blue?"

She held both hangers up on either side of me, squinting between one and the other while I quietly panicked, looking around the store in horror. I could swear one of the girls working the register was giggling at me.

"I really think blue is your color. But the red… it's so much sexier, don't you think?"

I tried not to look at the ruffled trim and large bow at the center of the red bra. I also tried to not notice the pretty rows of lace running over the back of the sheer red panties. Which was complicated by my struggle to not notice the white lace and floral appliqués that dominated the gorgeous blue lingerie. They were breathtaking, and my body was responding to them the way it always did to pretty, girly things.

And if there was one place I couldn't get an erection, it was in a lingerie store. While my girlfriend shopped for me.

"Do you really have to hold them up like that?," I said quickly, pushing them down while trying to remember baseball scores. "They're both great."

"Yeah, you're right, let's get them both," she said, her voice gleeful with an edge of something I couldn't quite identify. "What's the matter? Isn't this what you've always wanted?"

"What?" I asked, swiveling my eyes back to her.

"You know," she said with an impish grin that sent goosebumps out over my skin. "Having your own pretty little things to wear?"

"I mean — yes, but —"

She stepped forwards, draping one arm around my neck and kissing me on my cheek. Her body was pressed against mine, and I knew she could feel my rapidly growing manhood in my pants. Her grin broadened.

"But what, Reed? Don't you want to dress up in panties?"

"Kate! Can you keep it down?" I hissed in a choked whisper, frantically looking around to see if anyone could hear us.

"Aw, is thinking about all these lacy underthings making things hard on you?" she said.

"No!" I snapped back.

"Don't pretend like you're not turned on by this," she said irritably, releasing me from her embrace.

"So what if I am?"

"So I'm here with you, Reed. I'm doing this for you. Can we have some fun? Let's buy you some cute things. I want to buy you something you'll look hot in. Don't you want to turn me on with your pretty lingerie?"

Butterflies erupted in my stomach. What was I so afraid of? Honestly, this could not be going better for me.

"Okay, Kate," I managed. "Let's get both."

"They're both going to look so hot on you," she said, kissing me again. "But I can't wait to see the red on you."

"Even though the blue is my color?"

She raised her eyes to meet mine. I could see a fire barely contained in them and almost stepped back in surprise. I'd never seen intensity like that in her before. There was a fervor in her that I hadn't seen in years. We didn't have a dead bedroom, exactly, but it hadn't been a thrill ride these days.

"Oh yeah, blue is definitely your color," she said. "But the first time I fuck you in lingerie?"

I felt my breath catch in my chest.

"I want to fuck you in red, like the slut you're going to be."
