Getting Sabrinato research male escorts for her had been an excellent idea.

The next week, Lori emailed Anderasking if she could schedule another engagement.

He repliedwithin the hour, saying he’d had a cancellation for the following Thursday.

She’d decidedshe might as well get a little more experience while she was at it, since hewas available.

That weekend, Lori went out andbought some new lingerie.

She didn’t havemuch in the way of lingerie, usually sleeping in tank tops and pajama pants.She really liked the cashmere nightie she’s worn for her second session with Ander,and she thought it might be wise to buy up a few more similar pieces ofnightwear.

It wasn’t thatshe thought she needed to impress or attract Ander, but feeling pretty and sexyhad made the evening more enjoyable for her. If she was going to do this, shewas determined to have a good time.

So she and Sabrinahad a grand shopping expedition on Saturday, searching boutiques and departmentstores for lingerie that was simple and classy and didn’t look overtly sexy.

Sabrina, ofcourse, thought the whole situation was hilarious. She couldn’t believe hervirginal cousin had scheduled multiple engagements with a male escort. Lori wasforced to tolerate a significant amount of teasing over her decision to extend Ander’sservices.

Lori put upwith it good-naturedly. She was kind of embarrassed but she knew it wasn’tworth getting uptight about. Sabrina mockery hid genuine affection, and Lorithought her cousin was probably pleased that Lori had started to get over herhang-up over sex—even if it had taken this atypical form.

The shoppingtrip had resulted in several purchases, one of which Lori put on as she got outof a bath on the following Thursday. The chemise was a silvery-gray satin withgorgeous black lace on the straps, and the same lace overlaying theprincess-style bodice. It nearly reached her knees and wasn’t particularlyrevealing, but Lori felt pretty and elegant as she looked at herself in themirror.

She brushed outher hair, applied her favorite lotion, and tied on the gray satin robe that wassold with the chemise. Then she went to count her cash and wait for Ander toarrive.

She’d beenanticipating this evening for several days and more intensely for the last fewhours. She was pretty sure she wouldn’t need the help of a DVD to get in themood tonight.

Ander showed upfive minutes early again, dressed in a gray suit and black shirt without a tie.When she opened the door, his eyes scanned her from newly-brushed hair to barefeet. Then his mouth slowly lifted into a smile.

That sameurbane, sensual smile that he obviously used as a standard technique.

For somereason, Lori realized she hated that smile. She felt the irresistible urge toslap it off of his face.

Instead, sheasked bluntly, “Don’t you ever wear anything but black and gray?”

Ander blinkedand the smile faltered. “Excuse me?”

“Every time Isee you, you’re dressed in black and gray. I was wondering if you own anythingin another color.”

He lifted hiseyebrows slightly and his eyes lingered on her own outfit. Black and gray.

Lori sniffeddisdainfully as she stepped aside to let him in. “I’m not saying anything iswrongwith black and gray. I was just wondering.”

“Were you?”

Confused by hisslightly amused expression, she wondered what he was implying. Then she decidedto just be pleased that she’d gotten rid of that annoying fake smile. “Did youhave a good week?” she asked, following him into the room.

Ander put hiscase on the table as usual and turned to look at her. “It was about normal.You?”

“Pretty good.”Now she was torn between ironic amusement over the bland nature of their smalltalk and the acknowledgement that, in this context, they would just never getany less superficial.

His liptwitched as he opened his case. “Did you try the vibrator?”

“Yes,” shesaid, beaming up at him as she thought about her successes. “It’s great. Thanksso much for getting it for me.”

“Any problemscoming?”
