her mind. The worry she had been struggling with disappeared as she made the bed and prepared for the day. She wanted everything to be perfect and she yearned for his touch.
    Confidence poured back into her as she readied herself to go shopping. There was a bounce to her step and she took extra time to make herself feel beautiful. Her make-up was simple and she wore her hair in a messy side chignon. With a bright red blouse, black slacks and pumps, she transformed herself into the sex goddess she had read about. The look added to her confident feelings and she wanted others to see it in her too.
    MJ had some naughty thoughts as she decided where to shop. She wanted something sexy for the Friday night after dinner events. Her drawers and closet were stocked with Victoria Secret lingerie. It was great quality and very sexy but not the image she wanted for this night. Instead MJ drove downtown to The Pink Pyramid, one of Cincinnati’s finer adult stores. She had heard about the large selection and felt that she could find something that said erotic and in charge at the same time.
    The shop was just what she was looking for. There was a wide selection to choose from: lace, latex, leather, silk; any style and any size. With all there was to choose from it wasn’t easy to find the perfect outfit. Something sultry but not over the top slutty was what she required. MJ wanted to give Dalton a show but also begin to let him know what she wanted more of in their sex life; more control for her and more submission from him.
    Finally she found what she was looking for, cut in a baby-doll style; it was made of black leather and lace. The leather portion was cut to cover the front of the breasts and black lace trimmed the edges. Black lace draped down the sides and the back, the lower edge ending at the navel. A black lace thong with leather ties was paired with it, the perfect complement to show off her firm ass.
    There was no need to try the garment on. She knew the size was right and the look was just what she wanted. If this didn’t get him turned on nothing would. She considered some hand cuffs and a riding crop, but this was the first venture with Dalton and the possibility of dominating him. She would leave those for another time. Smiling with her boldness, MJ paid the clerk and decided to visit Ella for another round of books. While she was there she could show off the new purchase.

    The bells jingled as MJ pushed through the door at Books and Beyond. As usual Ella was perched behind the counter reading. She smiled broadly when MJ approached her. Spotting the familiar black plastic bag in her hand and smiled. “Has DJ finally come to his senses? Or did you take my advice about the vibrator?”
    Checking to make sure the store was empty, MJ set the bag on the counter and pulled out her new purchase. Ella looked impressed and with raised eyebrows said, “Wow! What’s the occasion?”
    “Dalton texted me this morning and asked me for a date tomorrow when he gets home. I’ve made reservations at Jean-Robert’s Table and then went on a little shopping trip over at The Pink Pyramid. He mentioned some after dinner activities. What do you think?” MJ waited for her assessment.
    Ella was smiling, “It turns me on just to look at it and imagine you wearing it. If this doesn’t do the trick call an ambulance because the poor boot has died.” They both giggled.
    “I think you were right about the dry spell”, MJ said putting the garments back into the bag. “I’ve been so worried that I added pressure to an already tender situation. He’s been traveling and working on this merger. I should have been patient and just waited it out without jumping to conclusions.”
    “Worry doesn’t solve much. It’s good that you’ve both started to come together. Maybe there will be an opening for a larger conversation about what’s been going on with each of you.” Ella was being the bartender/psychologist. Her customers liked
