Back of a Drawer

“Let’s see what’s in the back.” He caught both corners of the drawer and pulled it out until it was just about ready to fall.

“Oh, no!”

He batted my hands away as I tried to interfere in his snooping. “Oh, stop. I’m aware there’s two kinds of underwear women hide in the back. I won’t look at the granny pairs. I wanna see the ones that are too scandalous to be with the everyday ones.”

I scanned my brain at lightening speed and had a ‘ching’ moment in the rolodex. Thanks to Emilia, again.

And there it was. I recognized it the second he started pulling it out of the drawer. It was ruby red.

So, rather hard to miss.

He shook it out. “Ah, yes…”

It was a teddy with tiny snaps in the crotch, a lifted bodice and crossing lines across the tiny waist that barely stretched far enough to reach around me.

“Are you even capable of making yourself wear this for me?”

“To do what?”

“Well,” His brows lifted in interest and his head tilted slightly. “a lot of things.”
