? ?? So hot, out the box, can we pick up the pace… ???

I stood in front of the mirror, holding a hanger in each hand, trying to decide which of the dresses to wear on my date tonight.

“What do you think, Raven? Red or black?”

“I don’t see what difference it makes,” she snorted, “either way, your ass is going to be hanging out the bottom and your tits out the top.”

“You’re my best friend why? That wasn’t even remotely helpful,” I grumbled.

“I’m just messing with you. Wear the black. You can’t go wrong with the corset. Keep the red one for your second date.”

“If there is a second date. We met standing in line for coffee. He was hot as fuck, so I figured, why not?”

“You’re braver than I am. I could never agree to a date like that.”

“No shit. That’s why I have to keep setting you up.”

“Don’t act like you’re doing me a favor.” she laughed, rolling her eyes. “So far, you’ve set me up with a bunch of duds.”

“You need to be more open-minded. You never know what you might find.”

“Listen here, you kinky bitch. I’ll stick with my vanilla, thank you very much.”

I stripped down to nothing but my black lace thong and pulled the dress off the hanger. I grinned when Raven’s cheeks reddened and she looked away.

“Jesus, Raven. It’s not the first time you’ve seen them and it’s likely not the last.”

“Whatever. Where is… uhh…”

“Tad and I don’t know. Some club, just not sure which one.”

“Tad? His fucking name is Tad?! How are you going to keep a straight face on your date?” she giggled.

“Shut up and come tighten the corset for me.”

Her eyes narrowed and a grin spread across her face. I knew in that moment, I was gonna pay for telling her to shut up. As expected, she grabbed the ties, wrapped the ends around her fists, and pulled for all she was worth. I groaned, struggling to catch my breath as she tightened the rest of it and tied it off.

“All done,” she said, a mock innocent expression on her face.

“Make yourself useful and pour me another glass of wine while I put on my face.”

She filled our glasses again, setting mine on the vanity while I worked on my makeup.

“Do you want me to do your hair?”

“Nah, I’m just going to throw it into a messy bun. I’m only willing to do so much for this date.”

“Aww, c’mon. I’m sure you and Tad will have beautiful babies.”

I grabbed one of my makeup sponges and whipped it at her head. She dodged it easily, laughing as she tossed it back. A few minutes later, my green eyes were accentuated by my smokey eye makeup, and my lips were painted blood-red. Slipping on my sky-high strappy heels, I turned to Raven and thrust my arms out in a ta da fashion.

“Well?”

“You look hot, as usual. I’d fuck you,” she winked.

“As if you could handle me,” I chuckled, “What are you up to tonight? Let me guess… Netflix and chill?”
