“I’d say I like the exact opposite of Ryllis,” I say.
Celine and Aurelia look at each other, giving each other a curt nod before leaving in different directions. They are back soon, though, and I find myself joining Ryllis with masses of clothes to try on. Once we are finished, I’m exhausted, but for the first time in my life, I’m enjoying my look in the mirror. And by the way Ryllis is suddenly all relaxed and giggly; it’s obvious she is happy too.
“We better have some lunch after this,” Ella mutters.
“Are you kidding?” Annie chuckles. “After this it’s lingerie. You don’t think Celine would pass on that chance?”
I’m kind of dreading our next stop already, but at the same time, the thought of wearing something that might turn Finn wild is appealing. Together with the girls, Ryllis and I have chosen a wide variety of clothes, which Aurelia and Annie pay for. Nox appears out of nowhere and takes our bags back to the car.
Then Celine makes true to her threat and pushes us towards a lingerie shop. “Why are you so eager to go bra shopping?” Ella grins. “Don’t tell me you are looking for something new as well.”
Celine rolls her eyes. “Marius ruined my favorite piece last week. He literally tore it off my body.”
“Goodness, I’m not listening,” Aurelia mutters, covering her ears. “I’m not listening.”
When we find ourselves in Celine’s favorite lingerie shop, Ryllis turns to me. “Am I supposed to buy something from here too?”
I shrug helplessly.
Annie goes through a bunch of more modest stuff and shows a few pieces to Ryllis. Again, she goes for a more subtle and sweet design, things Ryllis probably feels more comfortable in. “I kind of like this,” Ryllis admits when Annie shows her a blue bra and panties in lace.
“I’m trying not to think about how I’m about to choose lingerie for my brother to look at.” Annie chuckles.
Aurelia looks at her, horrified. “Did you have to mention that? Finn is my brother. Now I can’t get it out of my head.”
“What do you think?” I show Ella a bralette and panties combination in black. It’s simple yet revealing enough for it to be interesting.
“Yep,” she nods. “I bet Finn likes it simple but daring. He is an alpha wolf though, so Celine is right; better grab a few extras.”
Celine looks at a daring red corset with a fitting thong. “I think Marius would love me in this.”
“And you would look steaming hot in it,” Annie agrees.
“Just missing the whip,” Ella teases.
Celine raises an eyebrow. “Oh, how I wish I had one sometimes…”
They all laugh, making me curious to know more about their relationships and Finn’s siblings. They all seem to be so in tune with their feelings and mates.
Ella chuckles, too, while eyeing a light pink lace combo herself. “Dante loves the naughty innocent look,” she explains to us. “The devil in disguise always gets him. What do you think?”
“If you want to go for the naughty girl pretending to be an angel, go all out and choose white,” Aurelia points out with a grin.
Meanwhile, Annie tilts her head and inspects a black bodysuit that has little buckles and ropes attached to it. It looks very form-fitting. “Hmmm,” she hums. “I’ve never worn something like that.”
“Goddess.” Celine smirks. “Liam would love it! Believe me, he’s an alpha, a part of him loves to dominate you, and this gives the right image.”
Annie wiggles her brows. “Is this what you do with Marius?”
“Excuse me.” Aurelia glares. “Are you two aware that you’re talking about my brothers here? Bad enough, I need to shop for Finn’s sex life; now you have to add Liam and Marius to the mix?”
“Well, we love us some Alcott brothers,” Annie says dryly, making Aurelia groan.
“So, what do you think Finn would like?” I ask, scooting closer, now interested in choosing something fun for myself.
“I think Ella is right, and he likes it simple yet sexy,” Annie muses.
“Believe me.” Celine holds a daring black one-piece out of lace towards me. “You wear something like that, and you are in control of the moment.”
