'Oh god, no.' Seeing where we were heading, I couldn't help but shiver. If I were a woman, this would be a problem but I'm not, so this is a huge mental hurdle!
"Now, um. You can't look at other women!" she said, pulling me into a women's lingerie store.
The moment I stepped inside, all the workers and other customers stared at me with raised brows. Thankfully, Kate's presence helped diminish their expressions to mere looks instead of scornful gazes.
"Hmm hmm hmm~" she hummed a happy tune, completely unaware of my inner struggle.
'Just breathe, Eiz! You can do this!'
I cleared my thoughts, breathing in and out while focusing solely on her. She skimmed through a bunch of different types of lingerie in all kinds of colors.
"Ahem! I think yellow or purple would look good." I couldn't look her in the eyes, but for some reason, I had the urge to voice my true thoughts.
"Heh. I see~" I didn't catch what she grabbed, but the sound of her taking something off the rack echoed in my ears before she vanished into a nearby changing room.
'GAME TIME!'
[Calm down… it's disgusting.]
'Fuck off!'
"Psst! Eiz, come closer."
I stepped a bit closer, and before I could react, her hand darted out and yanked mine through the flimsy curtain.
The thin fabric swayed behind me, barely separating us from the rest of the store. Every sound beyond it—the footsteps, soft chatter, occasional laughter—felt too loud now, too close.
My mind froze not because of what I was seeing, but because of how easily she showed herself to me.
She stood there, breathtaking and bare in the dim lighting, her skin flushed a soft pink, her chest rising and falling a little faster than normal.
This was the same girl who flustered from a kiss, who fumbled with words when I teased her and yet here she was, standing proud, daring, inches away from me. Her ability to switch was uncanny!
Every instinct in my body screamed to pull her closer, to press her against me, but I stayed frozen, pulse hammering in my ears, terrified that if I even breathed too loud, someone outside would hear.
"So~?" She twirled, letting me get a good look at everything her body had to offer besides the known pink buds and garden.
She wore a delicate yellow lace teddy, the snug material tracing every contour of her body like a second skin. Fine floral patterns wove across the lace, veiling just enough to leave my imagination burning, while thin straps crisscrossed along her sides, drawing the eye to every seductive curve.
Everything else revealed itself in quiet glory—the smooth curve of her stomach, the playful dip of her waist, the faint shimmer of her skin under the soft lighting. Each movement made the lace shift and stretch, clinging tighter with every breath she took.
I didn't know what to say, but I did know what I wanted to do.
Pulling her into a tight hug, I felt her body mold against mine. Her breasts pressed softly into my chest, their warmth sending sparks up my spine, while the delicate scent of her hair entered and scrambled my mind, pushing my urges further.
"E-Eiz?!" She didn't push me away, but her voice was a trembling mix of confusion, shyness, and something else I didn't dare name.
"Quiet." I groaned, my voice rough as I fought to calm down. The only reason I hugged her was so I wouldn't keep looking. I refused to let my eyes wander lower, because if I glanced even once, I'd see the plump curve of her butt stretching that thin fabric—practically inviting disaster. And that wasn't good for me.
'God, if she wore this back when we slept together, I wouldn't have been able to hold back!'

{Katelyn's POV}
'No no no, Eiz, don't do it!'
I panicked; if he took me here, I didn't know what I'd do. My heart hammered wildly against my ribs, a breathless pressure rising in my chest like a balloon about to pop.
'Hehe, if he was a bit more forceful~ AH?!' I shook my head so fast my hair whipped across my face, unable to believe my own traitorous thoughts.
"Ugh. Kate, stop it, this isn't good for my heart!"
"Ah, sorry," I mumbled, my voice a pitch higher than normal. I kept close anyway—so close I could feel the faint heat rolling off him, the steady rhythm of his breathing brushing my skin. We should have separated, but every part of me screamed to stay. His scent wrapped around me like a trap I didn't want to escape.
But i-if someone walked in—
'Omg, someone may walk in?!'
Panic shot through me like a bolt of lightning. I yelped, pulling away so fast I almost stumbled, my face burning like it had caught fire. I shoved him back instinctively, the lingering warmth of his body still clinging to my hands.
Thankfully, he didn't seem offended or hurt—just smiling that soft, knowing smile of his that somehow made everything worse. I sighed in relief, my heart still pounding way too fast to calm.
Knowing Eiz… he probably knew exactly what kind of situation this could've turned into.
'I feel a little weird.'
I shifted awkwardly, a strange lingering pressure between my thighs making me squirm. I hadn't noticed before, but something had definitely been poking me—and now that he was gone, realization hit me like a slap.
That could only mean one thing!
"He finds me that attractive~"
I squealed inwardly, squirming in place as the biggest, dopiest smile exploded across my face. My entire body felt warm and giddy, my hands clutching the fabric of the changing curtain just to ground myself.
I knew I was acting like a child or some airhead, but I loved him—so who cares?!
Still grinning like an idiot, I stripped out of the rest of my clothes without a second thought. I didn't even bother putting on the other piece; I already knew what I wanted.
I chose what Eiz loved best—the one thing I knew would break him when the time finally came.
Whenever we do go that far, this would be my secret weapon!
'Actually, I guess it really isn't secret anymore…'
