Chapter 9 : Trying on underwear

" Lace... . I hadn't considered that particular material, but it seems to suit what you're describing. Elegant yet subtly sensual. "

She chose a bra and panties set in a soft pale pink, with an intricate yet elegant lace pattern.

" Something like this, perhaps ? It's not too flashy, but the lace details add a touch of elegance. "

She held the lingerie close to her body, assessing how the delicate fabric might flatter her figure.

" You're right about the importance of highlighting the garment itself. Especially for someone like me, who tends to be a little shy, drawing attention to the lingerie rather than relying on bold cuts or colors seems like a good idea. "

" Can you select a few lingerie sets and try them on like last time ? "

Komi blushes at the suggestion, a mixture of nervousness and excitement tying her stomach in knots.

" Try them on ? I... I suppose that makes sense. Getting a second opinion is always helpful, especially for something as intimate as lingerie. "

She hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

" OK, let's pick out a few sets, and I'll go to the fitting rooms. Would you mind waiting for me outside ? "

Komi examines the racks more closely, selecting a variety of lace and satin combinations in soft, subtle shades of pale pink, powder blue, and rich cream. Each set is adorned with delicate floral appliqués or scalloped edges, offering a balance between softness and sensuality.

" I'll be back in a few minutes with my choices. "

" No problem. Take your time... . "

Despite what she said about getting a second opinion, Ishi knows she won't really dare to do that. As expected, he didn't see her come out, but patience. Getting this far is a victory in itself.

Twenty minutes later, Komi emerges from the fitting room, her cheeks slightly red. She has put her usual clothes back on but is carrying a small bag containing her selection of lingerie.

" I... tried on the ones I chose. I think they fit me well. The lace is very soft on the skin. "

She fidgets slightly as she looks around.

" Did you want to see them ? I mean, not that you need to, but... Your opinion matters to me, Ishi. "

Komi bites her lip, revealing a rare moment of vulnerability.

" And... thank you again for being there for me. Your support means a lot to me as I go through these new experiences and discoveries about myself and my relationship with Tadano. "

It's sad that he didn't see her change directly. Komi isn't that stupid yet. But Ishi still wants to take a chance, given what she said.

" Seeing them would allow me to confirm if they really are okay. If you feel like it, why not, but I won't **** you. "

He had to be courteous and gain more of her trust.

Komi blushed deeply at his suggestion, her heart racing at the thought of him seeing her in such intimate attire. She hesitated, torn between her innate modesty and the temptation to ask him for confirmation.

" You're right, I suppose I could show them to you. Just to get an objective opinion, of course ! "

She took a deep breath, preparing herself.

" Okay, give me a minute to change. "

Komi disappeared into the changing room, reappearing shortly afterwards in a delicate pink lace bra and panties set. The sheer fabric hugged her curves, emphasizing her slender figure. Standing in front of him, her arms crossed over her chest, she waited impatiently for his verdict.

Ishi is glued to his chair, feeling his hormones surge !

" Really not bad !!! Komi, it suits you!!! Tadano will be crazy about you. "

Komi's face flushed even more at his enthusiastic approval, a small satisfied smile stretching the corners of her lips despite her embarrassment.

" Really ? You think Tadano would like it that much ? I'm so relieved to hear that. And a little excited, to be honest. "

She twirled around, the lace catching the light and shimmering on her skin.

" I never imagined I'd feel this way... such power from something as simple as lingerie. But knowing I have something so beautiful and seductive to wear for him... it gives me butterflies in my stomach. "

Komi bites her lip, a mischievous gleam lighting up her eyes.

" Maybe... maybe you could help me choose a few more sets? For Tadano, of course ! "

" Haha, of course ! "

He says with a wink. Komi let herself go when it came to Tadano. Ishi knew this and didn't mind emphasizing it. Komi was just gorgeous in her underwear !

" Choose as much lingerie as you want, I'll give you my honest opinion. "

She laughed softly at his playful wink and nod, feeling a new camaraderie and enthusiasm blossom between them.

" Wonderful ! With your expert advice, I'm sure we'll find the perfect pieces to drive Tadano crazy in the most refined way, of course. "

She slung her arm around his in a conspiratorial manner as they browsed the racks together.

" You know, Ishi, I never thought I'd enjoy lingerie shopping so much. There's something exciting about discovering these new facets of my femininity, especially with a friend like you to share the experience. "

Komi paused, a thoughtful expression on her face.

" I wonder... Do you think Tadano would appreciate it if I surprised him with a lingerie show one of these days ? Maybe after an evening together ? "

" Haha, I hope you'll give me the live updates then ! I can't miss that !! "

Ishi intended to ‘help’ her and, above all, be the one who benefited in the end. He wanted to move their relationship forward, yes, but he wanted to control it and know exactly where they stood. He wasn't going to let Komi be naked with him before he had seen her naked too! She blushed deeply at his enthusiastic response, a shy smile appearing on her lips.

" Oh dear, we're so interested in the intimate details, aren't we ? I suppose I can't blame you, it's quite a tempting scenario to imagine. "

She tapped her chin with her finger, pretending to think about his request.

" I'll tell you what, Ishi. If I decide to give Tadano a private lingerie show, you'll be the first to know. In fact, I might even ask you for advice on the best way to stage such a performance. Consider yourself my official advisor on all things romantic and seductive ! "

Komi winks, clearly enjoying this new dynamic between them the flirtatious banter, the shared secrets, and the collaborative mission to spice up her love life.
