get to know the man. The shower was quick and I got out first to dry my hair. Walking into the bedroom, I found an outfit and quickly donned the clothes. I turned around to see Vince watching me. “What?” “Nothing, just love the way you look.” “You are not so hard on the eyes either.” He pulled me to his wet body and kissed me again. “So are you one of those women?” “What women?” “The ones that go to Ray’s to find a soldier husband?” I couldn’t help but laugh. He did not find it very funny, he even seemed a little hurt. “I will not deny my love for the uniform, but I am not looking for a husband.” “Oh? What are you looking for then?” “A really good time.” “Did you have a good time last night?” I looked up into his smiling blue eyes and bumped him. “Do I really have to answer that?” “No, I guess not.” I watched the man get dressed and I couldn’t help but find him more attractive in his uniform. He left his jacket in the Jeep, so he stood in a tan T-shirt and those camouflage pants. He was pulling his boots on as I found some heels. “The guys are going to give me hell. Coming in late and in the same clothes as yesterday.” “Sorry.” “Hell, don’t be. I am not.” “Good, I had a great time.” “Me too. Will I see you again?” I walked up to him and kissed him on the lips. I told him I would love to see him again and we agreed to meet that night at Ray’s. He asked about Denise for Mack and I told him I would talk to her. “She is just really shy.” I followed him out to the Jeep and slid into the seat. I asked him where my panties were, remembering he had taken them the night before. “Those are mine now too.” “Oh.” What could I say? The man wanted my panties, so I couldn’t really argue. After last night, he could have had the whole damn drawer full if that is what floats his boat. We made it to Ray’s pretty quickly and I kissed him once last time before I got in my car. I was already an hour late and I knew that Denise would be waiting. I tried to remember if I had an appointment, but I couldn’t remember for the life of me, if I did or not.
Chapter 5: Red Panties I pulled into my parking spot in front of my shop. I saw Denise pacing outside of the door. She looked worried and there was another car. Fuck, I must have had an appointment after all. I pulled my pencil skirt down and tried to act professional as I walked up to the door. My core was sore from the previous night and I tried not to show it as I walked. “Where have you been Anya? Mrs. Marrin has been waiting for almost an hour.” “Sorry Denise. We will give them a discount on their fixtures and they will be okay.” I smiled at the woman walking up and apologized for my tardiness. She was a bit miffed but after I told her about a ten percent discount, her temper seemed calmed. The appointment did not last long and I noticed that she went twenty percent over her stated budget. I wondered if I should be late more often. I made the invoices for the order and sent them to the companies that I needed to. I caught myself looking out the window more. Though now I was not just admiring the men, I found myself looking for a certain tall man with piercing blue eyes. I couldn’t pick him out of the mess, but something on the flag pole caught my eye. There was a bright red dot on the top and I had a moment of wonder before I realized that they were my panties. I covered my mouth and squinted. I was sure that was what it was. “Fucking hell.” “What was that Anya?” “Nothing dear, did you need something?” “No, I was just wondering if you wanted to have lunch.” “Is it already lunch time?” “Yeah, time flies.” “I suppose. Same place as always?” “Of course Denise, I will meet you outside in a minute.” I grabbed my purse and glanced back at the makeshift flag. What was that man thinking? When we got to the cantina, we both
