Where there is a need there is a way (short story)

Already naked I entered the room looking for the box with my outfit for the night. A small black box lay on the bed, I could already imagine how little fabric my outfit would consist of.

I lifted the lid, and sure enough, a set of sheer stockings spilled over the edge, accompanied by a white garter belt.

Laying out the stuff I was slightly confused.

“I mean I get the garter belt and the stockings but what is that dangle of strings supposed to be?”

Nevertheless after some trial and error I managed to put it around my chest feeling the thin strings dig into my breasts. Emphasizing them in a lewd manner despite covering nothing at all.

Making them stand out just by lifting them up a little.

I heard footsteps approaching and quickly threw the box aside and double checked the clips holding up the stockings before crawling on the bed ready to welcome customers.

Our budget has been tight ever since the last accident and I decided to swallow my pride (alongside other things) to ensure we could afford the next airship ride otherwise we would be stuck here for a month and no monster grinding would be enough to earn the ticket prices before the deadline.

Thankfully, the others don’t know about how dire our finances are and sometimes I curse myself for taken on the role of the money keeper.

I discreetly buy items we would need in the future but sometimes that very act comes back to bite me.

One little purchase and we were down half the ticket cost if I had known the next airship would arrive so soon I would have held back and bought the item on the next opportunity instead. Having hidden the purchase the others had no clue we were short a whole 10 silver.

Spread open like a Christmas gift I worked my ass of to make it just in time standing slightly trembling on the airships railing as we looked down below seeing the city shrink before our eyes.

Especially the hero was in a good mood having never been on an airship before while I was still too occupied with how sore I felt, I could still enjoy the breeze and for a moment I didn’t even mind having spread my legs open for the last two nights as a picturesque sunrise greeted us towards our next destination the flying dungeons some of the best preserved ruins of the old empire.
