"Sorry! We're closed," she yelled as she marched towards the entrance to shoo off incoming customers. It was fifteen minutes before closing time which allowed her to do so.
Cherie was a thirty-two-year-old successful woman who adored lingerie and was a collector for many years. She opened the boutique with the hopes of bringing together a community of lingerie lovers and to be able to share her ideas in such lovely pieces.
We had been in collaboration since the very beginning; designing and creating every bit of detail from the store front down to the very thread selection. We weren't friends as much as we were business associates but with many years and hurdles gone by, we finally started to be on friendly terms.
I began visiting the store more often since I moved into the area and loved seeing how our hard work had paid off. I also wanted to see where improvements were needed as Cherie was constantly talking about upgrades everywhere. She was definitely a perfectionist but most days, when I walked through those solid black double doors, I just felt the place was heaven enough.
This week had been a horror. With Christmas around the corner, the girls were working non-stop. Tonight was no exception, however Suzanne rushed off early to officially start her holidays, leaving Cherie to close.
I was the customer in the change room.
She came back with an armful of items then offloaded them to me. She didn't even bother to close the curtains again and rushed out of sight.
"I'm just gonna quickly lock up and come back to help you," she yelled back.
"Alright!" I responded as I dumped them onto the velvet ottoman before me then sifted through them.
I was half naked, having already found the perfect bra and now, I was looking for the right pair of bottoms. I love lingerie as much as Cherie. This is the passion we share and this is why we worked so well together for many years. She knew my taste and she knew I did not like matching lingerie.
"Did you find them?"
"The purple pair?" she continued,
"Still looking, you sure they're in here?"
"Let me see... sorry they're here!" she said as she was waltzed back into sight.
"OMG! I looooveee those!!" They were a purple lacy pair of knickers similar to a string bikini.
"I knew you'd like them, they are perfect for your bod."
My body shape was a less desired one - well for me anyway. It was straight with high hips but hardly hiplicious. An athletic build with broad shoulders carrying me through to my heavy D cup breasts, tapering down to a size 8 bottom. I envied Cherie's gorgeous hour glass frame, though; perfect hips, perfect arse with perfectly shaped full C breasts standing at six feet tall. She was a dream and her legs were even dreamier.
"Go on! Put them on!"
I slipped them over the salmon pink pair I had on and could hardly see what they actually looked like.
"The fit is perfect! I love them but I wanna see them without my knickers on. I'm definitely taking these."
As I undressed myself, I could see Cherie's eyes lingering my way to my bare lower body. "Well, your butt looks hot in it," she said with a smile.
I was adjusting myself in these new found briefs and could not get over how amazing I felt in them. It's always an achievement when you find the right pair of underwear.
"Here, let me help you with that..." she whispered as she placed her hands on my crotch whilst staring at me in through the mirror.
I held her gaze in awe and froze.
I watched as one hand disappeared under the purple briefs onto my flesh, her touch radiating through me.
