And it'sfuckinghot.
"You're picturing it. You're a pervert." Piper lifts the dress from the hanger and starts undoing the corset backing. "I, um… well, Kit and I haven't, but I've thoughtaboutit."
"Aridingcrop?"
"God no." She holds open the dress so I can stepintoit.
I do. "Notevenonce?"
"No. I don't like pain. I know you… ahem… with the biting. I can't remember the last time I saw your neck without ahickey."
I have tolaugh. "True."
"I don't want to know if you and Ethan… but I do… I wouldn't mind Kit tying me up." She pulls the dress over my hips, my stomach, mychest.
I turn until the neckline is inplace.
"Do you and Ethan really do that regularly? Do I even wanttoknow?"
"Doyou?"
"No… Well, now I'mcurious."
"I can't explain it withoutdetails."
She clears her throat. "Ifyoumust."
"It's a once in a while thing. There's something about being at Ethan's mercy. About knowing I have to take as much pleasure as he wants to give me… And the way he stares into my eyes as he holds me down. It's really hot." Okay, now, I'm making myself uncomfortable. Piper is practically my little sister, and this is girl talk, but that's herbrother.
I wouldn't have wanted to hear about Asher'ssexlife.
"You don't think… you don't think it's weird or bad that Kit and I are always vanilla?"Piperasks.
"Are youhappy?"
"Icoulddie."
"Are yousatisfied?"
Shenods.
"Then who cares what anyone elsethinks?"
"And you with the weddingplanning?"
"Sex is much better than weddingplanning."
"Well, duh." She tilts her head and looks off into space. "I don't feel like I'm lacking. But everyone acts like I'm this poor, naïve thing. And I'm twenty. I've taken care of myself for years. I'm notakid."
"That's why everyone teases you. We can't stand to see yougrowingup."
"I guess I'll accept that." Piper's eyes meet mine through the mirror. "You already look so beautiful,Violet."
"Thank you." I stare back at myreflection.
Piper pulls the corset lacing tighter. "Did you really get thisoffEtsy?"
"Yeah."
