“I like this.” I whispered as I pointed out a baby doll. It was black lace with the bra section solid lace so you couldn’t see through it. It split straight down the middle and tied with black ribbon and over the lacy sides were small flowers. The only thing I hated was the thong.

“That’s really nice actually.” Alan picked the garment up and examined it before tossing it in the basket.

“I’m not sure this is really my stuff.” I flushed as a sales assistant hovered over Alan while we stood by the especially slutty clothes.

I wondered towards the back of the shop whilst Alan and the blonde chat each other up. I’d just picked up a white baby doll, it was sheer lace once again but had ruffles along the top of the breasts and this one has nice underwear. They also had it in black and red.

My pocket buzzed and I took my phone from it. Austin.

“Hi.”

“I saw that you went shopping. Where are you so I can come and meet you?”

“Um…” I looked around the shop and headed towards the dressing room. I locked the door and hung the baby doll on the hook on the door followed by a black garter belt and stockings. I’d decided to go for the black one.

“Taylor, talk to me.”

“You can’t come and meet me.”

“Why not?”

“It is too embarrassing.”

“Please. I love you.”

“I’m in Ann Summers.” I whispered. I heard a car door slam and an electronic woman’s voice saying that hands free was now connected.

“Did Alan take you?”

“Yes.”

“You should have woken me.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be. I’ll be there shortly.” The phone disconnected and I tossed it on the leather single chair in the dressing room. Without trying to look in the mirror I stripped and slid into the sheer lace. It felt soft against my skin as I slid into the stockings. I heard Alan whistle as he slid a pair of black high heels under the door.

I stepped into the shoes and pulled my hair out of the ponytail it was stuck in and surveyed myself in the mirror. Most of my scars were covered except for the ones on my upper thighs and arms and stomach. I twirled in the mirror and decided that I actually didn’t look that bad.
A banging on the door had me instinctively holding my clothes in front of my body.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me.” Austin’s voice penetrated the wood and I took a deep breath.

“Is Alan still out there?”

“Yes. Do you want him to leave?” did I? I decided no. If I wanted to do some of the things on my list then I was going to have to be comfortable in front of people. Instead of answering I just opened the door with my eyes closed and took a few steps out. I dropped the shirt I was holding in front of me and heard it slide to the floor.

I didn’t hear a response for a few minutes so I opened my eyes. I was shocked at the sight. Duplicate looks of lust were on both men’s faces and I bit my lip. Austin stood and my eyes were immediately drawn to the impressive bulge in the front of his skinny jeans. Alan stood too and I saw the same.

“Taylor…” Austin stepped closer and ran his finger over the swell of my breast. My breath hitched and goosebumps popped up over my skin as his finger travelled further between my breasts and tugged on the flimsy ribbon holding it together.

“D…Do you…like it?”

“Spin for me.” Austin’s voice had turned almost gravelly as I spun slowly for him. I heard him and then Alan groan.

“Damn. I want her.”

“Tough shit she’s mine.” Austin turned me back around as his hand swept down my back and over the curve of my buttocks as he pulled me closer.

“What do you think?” I whispered against his throat. He’d changed his shirt to a V neck and I nuzzled my nose against his hairless chest.

“You look stunning. I think you should change though.” He whispered into my hair even as his hand slipped in the back of the lace knickers.

“Yeah. Okay.” I nodded and stepped away from him with a shy smile. He brushed his finger down the side of my cheek and grinned at me.

“Go get dressed and we can talk about that list.”

“What list?” I asked with a frown.

“The one you left on the bed.”

“Oh…” I flushed deep and slid back into the dressing room and slipped from the sheer clothing. I heard Alan question Austin about the list while I was tying my shoelaces.

“It’s just a thing I found on the bed. If she wants you to know she’ll tell you.”

I opened the door and Austin took the lingerie away from me and tossed into the basket along with the other stuff I and Alan had picked out.

“Next time you want to go shopping tell me.”

I just nodded as he headed towards the cashier and paid for everything. I just caught a glimpse of the conversation as I headed towards him.

“You’re with the girl wearing the Bring Me the Horizon top aren’t you?”

Austin wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed my temple with a glare towards the brunette cashier as I stood beside him.

“Yes. Do you have a problem with that?”

“No! no. You’re so very beautiful. I and my girlfriend were at the free Of Mice & Men show and we saw you. We just wish you were either gay or bisexual.” I watched as the girl fumbled with the clothing as she spoke the sweet words to me. Her cheeks were stained pick as she shoved the clothes into the bag.

“Thank you. Was your girlfriend the photographer? I think I remember seeing you two there.”
“Yes. She’s got a degree in photography and wants to become a band photographer but you know how it is. I just want her to be able to do what she wants and not be stuck working in a shop like me.”

“Here. Give her this and tell her to call me.” Austin kissed the side of my head again before handing over a card with a number on it. “Tell her Austin said to call. Tell her to phone our manager and we’ll talk about you and your girlfriend coming on tour with us over the summer.”
“Really?” The girl took the card with a huge smile on her face.

“You’ve made my girl feel good about herself. I’ve got to thank you. What are your names?”
“I’m Elizabeth and my girlfriend is Madison but prefers to be called Maddie.”

“We leave in two weeks so make sure you get her to call and we can figure something out.”
“Thank you so much!” Elizabeth was nearly in tears as we left the shop. Austin had a bag in one hand and my hand in the other. He guided me to the beach and we sat on one of the benches as he reached into his pocket.

“Let’s talk about this.” Austin placed the list on the table in front of me and I picked at the wood. Alan had disappeared somewhere along the way and I just shrugged at Austin.

“It’s pretty self-explanatory.”

“I know. This one intrigues me though.” Austin unfolded the paper and pointed to number 4. Kiss a girl.

“Come on, Austin. I never thought about actually doing it.”

“It’s okay, Taylor. You’ve not had any sexual experiences except with me and you obviously want to try a lot of things.”

“You’re not angry?”

“No. I can’t wait to help you experience every single one of these on your list. Including the threesome.” I swear his eyes darkened when he thought about me kissing another girl or guy. I was happy to admit that I didn’t want him to kiss any other girls or guys when he was with me.

“Why don’t we cross one of these off?”

“Which one?”

“Kiss in public. We’ve already done that.” Austin pulled pen from his pocket and ticked the side margin next to the sentence. “I turned it over and noticed you had an anti-sexual bucket list.”
“Mhmm.” I nodded and twirled at a ring that he had on his right thumb.

“’Dye my hair blue.’ Let’s go do it.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Come on.” Austin stood with a child-like grin and I stood with him. He led me down the street and into a hairdresser. The woman what saw me was an elderly Barbie blonde and I was hesitant sitting in the seat.

“What would you like, dear?” she asked as she placed the cloak around my shoulders and clipped it at the back.

“Um, would it be possible to get it blue?”

“Of course!” Austin leant on the table next to the chair and had his phone out. I watched as the women went through the routine of washing my hair and then bleaching it.

“So, is he yours then?” she whispered in my ear as I watched Austin pose with a fan that’d spotted him from outside.

“Yeah. He’s mine.”

“You’re a lucky devil then.”

“I know.”

Austin trotted over with a huge smile on his face. I couldn’t help smile back at him as he bent down in front of me. I kissed him gently on the lips and he tried to grab me to pull me closer but I leant back with a shake of my head.

“You’re not on the pill are you, angel?” he whispered in my ear and I shook my head. He
nodded and stood up slowly. “I’ve just got to go get a couple of things. I shouldn’t be long.”
