Another store catches you're eye

As I passed by a Victoria Secret, this hum stopped me dead in my tracks and drew my attention to the store windows, adorned with satin and lace in every shade imaginable. I hesitated at the door, my heart beginning to race. Why not? I thought, pushing the door open. The air inside was warm, perfumed with the scent of roses. Soft music played in the background, and the racks were filled with lingerie sets that looked like they belonged in a Parisian boudoir.

A sales associate approached me, “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m just browsing,” I replied, nervously replied, though my eyes were already drawn to a sheer wine-colored lace bra with matching panties and garter. I picked up the set, feeling the delicate fabric between her fingers. So soft, so… enticing.

“Would you like to try it on?” the associate asked as she broke me free from my daze.

“No thank you, I’m just looking,” I frantically replied, trying it clear my throat.

The associate aware of my discomfort, politely moved on to assist other customers leaving me to explore further.

After walking around more a sense of taboo came over me, torn between my arousal from the different fabrics and the taboo feeling a felt an urge to retreat to the change rooms where I wouldn’t have anyone looking at me and could bury the feelings of being an imposter.

As I made my way over to the changing rooms there was a display with a light pink teddy bodysuit which had lace detail, white trim, an open back and a small, skirted waist. I quickly grabbed my size off the rack and continued making my way to the change room.
