"You okay, babe?" Kris asked as she glanced over at Howie. He hadn’t said five words from the time they had gotten into the car until they reached the restaurant.

"What?" he asked.

Kristina reached over and tucked a strand of hair behind his ear. "I asked if you were okay. You haven’t said much since we left the club."

He smiled and took her hand in his, his thumb rubbing the palm of her hand absentmindedly. "Yeah baby, I’m fine. Just have a lot of work on my mind" he lied.

"We can shop later if you need to go back to the club. I’ll understand."

"No. I want to spend the day with you. I promise I’m going to redirect my focus to you and only you after I order lunch. Okay?"

Kristina smiled and said, "Okay. So what are you going to have anyway?"

"I’m not sure. I was thinking about a jalapeno burger with extra jalapeno’s."

Howie laughed as Kristina made a disgusted face and shrank back against her chair. "Well, if that’s what you want but don’t expect to get any tongue action from me this afternoon."

"What’s wrong baby? Don’t you like me hot and spicy?"

"Oh, I like you hot and spicy alright baby, but not smelly."

They bantered back and forth throughout lunch, holding hands and laughing. Afterwards they went to a local mall and shopped for the next three hours.

"Let’s go in this store," Howie said as they walked past Victoria’s Secrets.

"Don’t you think you’ve spent enough money on me this afternoon? I have enough clothes to fill two closets now!" Kristina laughed as she glanced at all of the bags they had accumulated over the last few hours.

"Consider this store all for ME" Howie winked. "Please?"

"Will I benefit from it?" Kristina asked, knowing the answer to her own question.

"You better believe it, angel."

"Okay. Let’s go," she said as she followed him into the store.

A sales clerk greeted them instantly, a smile upon her face seeing the volume of bags they carried between the two of them. "May I help you?" she asked.

"Yes. I would like someone to be available to help us shop for the next thirty minutes or so. We plan on buying lots of things" Howie smiled.

The sales lady looked at her watch and frowned. She would be leaving in five minutes to go on vacation and she didn’t want to give up the commission.

From behind, a cute redhead spoke up. "You go ahead Lisa, I’ll help Mr. Dorough and his lady friend."

Kristina laughed as she whispered "Busted!" into Howie’s ear. He nodded and smiled back at the younger sales assistant.

"Obviously, since you know who I am, you understand my need for privacy during this shopping spree."

"Yes sir" she said politely. "Follow me. I will set you up in a private room and bring you anything and everything you would like to see."

"Excellent" he said following her. "And what’s your name?"

"Heather" she replied. "Heather Adams."

"Nice to meet you, Heather. This is my girlfriend, Kristina."

"You sing at Tabu, don’t you?"

Kristina was shocked. She couldn’t believe someone had recognized her. "Yeah, I do."

"My friends and I are in there all the time. We love your voice. We were there the other night when the show got canceled. I hope everything is alright."

Kristina and Howie smiled at each other, knowingly. "Everything’s just fine now!" she laughed.

"I tell you what, Heather. You take care of us today without anyone finding out that we were here and I’ll make sure your name goes on the VIP list at the club. Free entrance and free drinks for you and a friend for the next year" Howie said as he sat down on the loveseat in the private room.

"Thank you, Mr. Dorough. But that is not necessary. I promise to keep your visit a secret."

"Howie. Please call me Howie."

Heather blushed. "Okay, Howie. What would you like to see first?"

Laughing, he and Kristina said, "Everything you have in purple!’

"Size 6?" Heather asked as she turned towards Kristina.

"Yes ma’am."

She turned and started out the door. "I’ll be right back."

Kristina went to Howie and sat on his lap. "You do realize that there isn’t a curtain in here for me to undress behind."

"Don’t worry baby, this is our last stop before going home" he said with a smile.

"You planned it this way, didn’t you?" she said, playfully smacking his arm.

"Who me? What would make you think that?"

Heather returned a few minutes later to find them kissing. She cleared her throat and began to hang the teddies and nighties on a rack in the far corner of the room.

"I hope you don’t mind, but I took the liberty to pick out a few of our best selling items and other things I thought you might like. I’ll just be right outside of the room if you need me," she said.

"Thanks Heather" they said in unison.

Kristina kicked off her sandals and allowed her Capri’s to slide to the floor. She watched Howie shift uncomfortably on the loveseat as she removed her peasant shirt and her bra. She smiled at him and then walked over to the rack and started flipping through it.

The first piece she tried on was an off the shoulder black lace chemise with scalloped edges and a matching black lace thong and garter set. She walked over to the mirrors and admired her reflection as she turned from side to side. Her breasts barely fit inside the chemise and she laughed when the outfit received a catcall from Howie.

He walked up behind her and fingered the material slowly, his fingers tracing the pattern of her nipples under the lacy fabric. Softly he whispered into her ear. "We are definitely keeping this one. It brings all kinds of dirty little thoughts to my mind."

Kristina backed up against him, his growing erection pressing into the small of her back. "Mmmm..I like the way THAT feels" she said in a huskier than usual voice.

He moved her long blonde hair off of her shoulder and traced her neck with his tongue. "Okay, so maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all. I’ll pick out what I like while you change and then we’ll go pay for it. I can’t watch you try on anything else or I’m gonna have to send Heather down to the men’s store for a clean pair of jeans for me to wear out of here."

Turning around, Kristina grabbed his cock in her hand, rubbing it hard beneath the jeans he wore. "I can’t wait till we get home, ‘D’. I’ve got to have some satisfaction right now" she purred.

A shocked look covered his face as he turned towards the only way out of the room, the door Heather stood just outside of. "We can’t do it here, she might hear us."

"So!" Kristina said as she unzipped his pants and pushed them to the floor. "I don’t care."

"Kristina!" he hissed as she reached inside his boxers and took him into her hand. "Oh god!"

Smiling wickedly, Kristina freed his hard cock and slid it into her mouth slowly. His hands immediately found themselves tangled in her curls, his eyes locked on hers as she sucked him expertly. The thought of Heather walking in on them made it even more exciting for him as did the mirrors behind Kristina’s kneeling body in which he could see her sucking his cock and watch his own facial expressions as she did so.

"Oh god baby, you are so naughty and I love it!" he growled as she rolled his balls in between her fingers, continuing to lick his shaft before sliding her red lips over the swollen head and back down the entire length of his cock.

"You like this?" she asked as she stood up and teased him by licking the outline of his lips.

He answered her question by plunging his tongue deep inside of her mouth, one hand still wrapped in her hair, the other hand covering her breast and tweaking her hardened nipple between his nimble fingers. She moaned softly before pulling away.

"No. This is for you, ‘D’."

"But I..." he started as she moved back to his cock and began sucking him once again. He could feel his legs begin to tremble as she grasped the bottom of his shaft and stroked him in time with the rhythm of her mouth. As before, she kept her eyes trained to his which excited him beyond description. He knew that he wasn’t going to last much longer as she worked him furiously. Within minutes, he swelled and held her hair tightly as he emptied himself into her mouth and down her sweet throat. She swallowed everything he gave her and then licked him clean after he was finished. As his body relaxed and his breathing slowed, she pulled his boxers and his jeans up and kissed the tip of his nose.

"Time to pick out a few things before we go home" she said casually, as she walked over to the rack of lingerie. "I’m tired."
