The Geary Series Boxed Set (29 page)

“Evelyn,” Olivia exclaimed, “it’s so lovely to see you again.”

Lilly spotted the elegant looking woman behind the counter and smiled, there was an air of class about the place without being pretentious. Evelyn’s smile was warm and welcoming, perhaps this wasn’t going to so bad after all. Lilly relaxed and introduced herself to Evelyn.

“Olivia dear, please go through to the changing room area, everything you asked for is waiting for you. The shop is yours until you leave.” Evelyn said and walked away and disappeared through a thick purple velvet curtain.

Lilly wandered around the room, trailing her fingers over the clothing that hung on thick wooden hangers. One type of clothing adorned the walls, rails full of colourful dresses, in fact as Lilly looked around all she saw were dresses. There was no other kind of clothes in the shop. She had never been in a shop that only sold dresses before.

“Olivia, is it just dresses here?”

“No Lilly, there are different rooms for different pieces of clothing, you can buy an entire outfit here, lingerie, shoes, jewellery, handbags, and pretty much anything else you need. Evelyn is a marvel and this is her Aladdin’s cave. Now come through here and make yourself comfortable as we have work to do.”

“Work to do? I thought we were here to get me a dress for the wedding I haven’t been invited to.” Lilly asked.

“You’re hilarious Lilly, you’re going with Elijah to the wedding, and I thought we had discussed this in the hospital.”

“It would be nice to be asked.” Lilly muttered more to herself than Lilly as she went through to the next room.

It was vast, white and had high ceilings. The previous room was cosy and dark in comparison. On one side was a dressing room with a white cotton curtain pulled back and in the centre of the room sat a large sofa facing a six inch high circular stage.

“He’ll ask you properly I’m sure. Now, stop whining as I need your help, but first I need to set this thing up. Take a seat on the sofa and smile.”

Olivia removed her tablet from her bag and placed it on the shelf on one side of the room opposite the sofa. Lilly smiled on command and watched with curiosity at what Olivia was up to. It all clicked into place when Olivia stepped back and she could see a woman grinning back at her.

“Is this the one?” Cecily said

“Yes, isn’t she stunning?” replied Olivia

“She’s a beauty, I am so glad Elijah finally found her.” Cecily said and clapped her hands in excitement.

“Um, hello I can hear you.” Lilly interrupted them to say, feeling talked about and not talked to.

“Oh, we know, we like talking about you. Lilly, I’m Cecily, Olivia’s best friend and I can tell you I am so happy you are there to help her through this. If you weren’t, she would’ve run away to her sanctuary and start writing a book until the day of the wedding. Make sure she stays in public and doesn’t go back to being a recluse.”

“Ok, I can do that. Where are you exactly and when do you arrive?” Lilly asked.

“I’m in the US at the moment, at a gallery opening for my photographs. I should be arriving the day before the wedding, so no pressure, but it’s all on you.” Cecily said.

“Oh, ok, nothing like being thrown in the deep end, do you have any tips?” Lilly questioned.

“Hey, I can hear you, I’m just here.” Piped up Olivia smirking.

“Keep your knickers on, if you have any. Oh, speaking of which, how is that handsome man of yours, is he keeping up with your over the top horniness?” Cecily asked.

“Cecily!” Olivia yelled out and then burst into giggles, “he’s fine thanks.”

“Sorry, I should calm it down as Lilly’s here, but not too much.” Cecily said and winked and Lilly.

Lilly liked Cecily instantly, yet another person who had accepted her on sight and treated her like a long lost friend. She could get used to having friends like these. Settling back in the comfort of the sofa, Lilly relaxed and continued to chat with Cecily while Olivia disappeared.

“Olivia, go and try the dress on while I talk to you about your latest scene.” Cecily demanded.

“Oh, that doesn’t sound good, didn’t you like it?” Olivia asked.

“It’s not something that I’ve read from you before so I’m not used to the subject.” Cecily continued.

“Should I just stick to shower sex and not go down the kink road?”

“You can, just, perhaps work your way up to it, why not try a wax scene. These two characters have only just met, I’m not sure they would go straight to strangulation during sex. Maybe they would but it’s a bit full on.” Cecily suggested,

“Oh, ok, Jack talked me through the kink, maybe because I haven’t experienced it, it doesn’t read well.” Olivia said through the closed curtain.

“Um, what are we talking about?” Lilly asked.

Lilly could hear Olivia sigh and looked up to the screen to watch Cecily’s reaction. It was full of mischief as she looked at Olivia.

“I’m reading her latest book of erotica, it’s a new genre for her and the scene where the guy wraps his hands around her neck doesn’t sit well with the story. It reads like he is going to murder her, he doesn’t like her in the book.” Cecily answered for Olivia as she had disappeared back behind the curtain.

“Oh, I see, well I can’t help with the strangulation as I have never tried it. Wax play on the other hand I could help with.”

There was a few seconds of silence and Cecily burst into life from the other side of the Atlantic. Bouncing in her seat, she clapped her hands like a demented seal.

“You have to tell us everything, Olivia could write it into her book as the perfect scene. Spill the details.”

“Cecily,” Olivia called out, “there is a wax scene in the book, skip to chapter eleven.”

“Is there? Excellent, I am going to read it out while you finish getting ready and then Lilly here who has had firsthand knowledge can tell us if it works.”

“Ok, that sounds good, it’s going to take me a bit of time in here, so read away Cecily. Lilly are you ok with hearing erotica?” Olivia asked.

“Oh, I can’t wait to hear it.” Lilly said and leaned back into the sofa.

“Violet lay on her back on the white sheets, naked and exposed.” Began Cecily, changing her tone to reflect the subject matter “Violet looked up at Alfie who held the lit candle above her body, he kneeled on the bed, also naked. She anticipated it would have to be one drip at a time. Then he would blow slowly on her breast to harden the wax. Then move on nearer and nearer to the nipple. First the sting then the pain would subside, and the pain would only be momentary. Then a warmness would spread from the areolas as the wax cooled and hardened, she would feel it all. Violet let the sensual vision wash over her, not knowing when the next drop would hit or where. Alfie placed the candle on the side table next to the bed, she followed the flicker of light as it danced around the room. The tension in the air aroused her. She focused back on her lover, he was holding a yellow silk scarf in his hands, he was going to blindfold her and that set her excitement levels higher. Lifting her head off the pillow, she allowed him access to tie a length of material around her head and then lay back down. The darkness added to the anticipation of what would happen next.

Taken by surprise as the first drop fell, she yelped quietly and then followed it with a sigh as she realised the quick pain was worth the longer lasting sensitivity. She felt the drips onto her left breast and took a sharp intake of breath followed by a hiss. Where will the next fall? She thought. Her nipple puckered in readiness, small jumps as the next sting landed so close to the last, teasing it further away from the nipple, making her wait.

A whimper escaped, she couldn’t stop the noise leaving her mouth. A murmur of pleasure but still the drips stayed clear of her nipple. She tried to wriggle, shifting her body to get the drip where she wanted it. It didn’t work, she couldn’t see how the candle moved in tune with her body. He was the one in control and not her, this drove her wild with lust. The decision of where and when the drops fell was beyond her and that made her wilder and wilder. Each drop was falling and still not reaching the part she wanted so much.

Violet didn’t know how much more she could take. Her hands were tied, but her hips were lifting off the bed. Breathing shallow and raising her bottom to try to reposition herself but bound hands stopped her. Every breath she took was torture, she wanted to shout out but she wouldn’t give him the satisfaction.

Another drip and she still wouldn't give in to calling out, she’s too proud to ask Alfie. She wanted to feel the hot sting finally fall onto her engorged nipple. Far too proud to beg which is what he wanted. Her back arched as each drop fell, the waiting was getting too much, and the drop on her nipple sent a shock through her body. Letting out a yelp, a flood of emotion coursed through her body. Violet’s orgasm was coming, she knew it and he knew it. Neither of them were ready for that to happen just yet. Her chest was heaving with her short breathing, neck stretched back.

Her knees and legs were starting to part, her breath was quickening now as more drops fell. She fought the restraints to free her hands, she was desperate to reach down between her open thighs. She needed to feel the friction, she needed that touch so much.

It was there, his cock, hot and hard against her slick lips. Oh God, she could feel it. Her whole body jumped, the first wave, a sudden throb. Violet’s legs were shaking so much she had lost any control she had left. The hard pressure went on and she whimpered, she was completely lost and-

Cecily looked up over the paper she was reading and stared through the screen at the view she had.

“Oh my God, you look beautiful” Cecily exclaimed.

Lilly turned around on the sofa and looked in the direction Cecily was staring at opened mouthed. Lilly joined in the opened mouthed game and stared at Olivia. Olivia had dressed while the steamy story was being read into her wedding dress and she looked sensational.

The fitted bodice and flared skirt gave her an amazing silhouette.

“Jack is going to wet himself when he sees you in that Olivia, you look stunning.” Lilly said and stood up to walk over to Olivia. She wanted the full view of the dress and the train sweeping out at the back.

“Thank you Lilly, it’s not too slutty is it, my cleavage is on show and I am not entirely happy with that prospect.” Olivia said.

“You look fabulous, you can’t see very much of your cleavage, it’s respectable, there is no nipple showing.” Cecily said and laughed.

“Thanks, ladies, what did you think of the story, is it too much?”

“God, no, it’s hot, what else will Violet and Alfie get up to in this story?” asked Lilly.

“I don’t know yet, I started with the waxing scene and I’ll build a story around it. I’m glad you liked it, I haven’t written erotica before and it’s my first attempt.” Olivia said.

“Well, I can say I’m shifting in my seat, it’s superb, but let’s get back to your dress. How do you feel Olivia?” Cecily called from the monitor on the shelf.

“I feel great, it’s made to measure but with a little room, it’s only a week away and I can’t see myself putting on that much weight in a week, so it should be fine. I hope Evelyn can help me on the day as well.”

“I will dear, it will be my pleasure to help you get ready.” Evelyn said from behind the changing room curtain.”

“Oh, Evelyn I didn’t see you there, I hope the story I read out didn’t offend you?” Cecily said.

“Not at all, I rather enjoyed it and look forward to reading the rest.”

Cecily blushed beetroot red and couldn’t look Evelyn in the eye, she hadn’t realised that she was there and wouldn’t have started the reading session if she knew she was there. Too late now for her to take it back, the words had been uttered.

“Lilly, Olivia tells me we need to find a dress for you for the wedding,” Evelyn said to rescue Cecily from blushing any further. “I have left six dresses in the changing room next to Olivia’s, let me know if any of them are suitable, I can collect a few more if they’re not the right fit for you.” Evelyn said.

“Wow, thank you Evelyn, that’s so kind of you to go to so much effort, I’m going to try them on now.” Lilly said.

“It’s my pleasure dear.” Evelyn said and then left the changing area.

“She’s a marvel isn’t she, I bet you that all six of those dresses fit you and you will have trouble deciding which one to choose.” Olivia said as she sauntered over to where the clothes hung.

“Don’t forget to come out here after each one, I want to vote for my favourite.” Cecily said.

“Ok, I shall come out and parade for the two of you.”

Lilly helped Olivia off with her wedding gown before she tried on her selection of dresses. The three of them gossiped while she conducted her small fashion show and they decided on a green satin floor length dress that could have been plucked straight from the 1940s era. It showed off her slim figure perfectly. Once the decision had been made Cecily signed off from the tablet.

The dress choosing and chatting for hours had taken their toll on Lilly, she was feeling weary after her ordeal and her body was still recovering. Tiredness swept over her like a tidal wave and crashed down on her body. She was instantly tired and needed to get to her bed.
