Part 7: Saturday Night
I looked in the box, or started to, I should say, when Katherine stopped me.
"Strip first, Candy."
I blushed a little and said "yes, Miss." It's not like she hadn't already seen me naked, it was just . . . well, stripping in the living room wasn't something I'd normally do in front of anyone.
I slipped the sneakers off, wiggled out of the skirt and peeled off the top, eyes trying to look at her for permission to open the box without really looking at her. I could feel the blush all over.
I could feel Katherine's eyes on me, roaming over my body. "Mmmm you
do
have a wonderful body, Candy." Open the box and get dressed now."
I bit my lip, beet-red, moved the tissue paper away, and looked in the box.
I sort of half-gasped, I think. I'm not what I was expecting, but it wasn't the very short black silk robe and black thigh-high stockings that were in there. I heard Katherine's laugh . . . "catching flies, Candy?"
I realized my mouth was frozen open and closed it, gulping. "Errrmm.. .no, Miss."
"Get dressed."
I pulled the robe out and slipped into it, tying the sash around my waist. I looked down and gasped all over again. "Short" was an understatement. I sat down on the arm of a chair as gingerly as I could to put on the stockings, feeling the robe exposing me a bit. Instinctively I pulled my legs closer together.
Katherine chuckled. "You'll get used to it, Candy, don't worry."
I gulped again. "Get used to it?" That didn't sound good.
I picked up the stockings and carefully put them on. They
did
feel nice on my skin, and the feeling of the silk robe was wonderful, but I couldn't really concentrate on anything other than my complete embarrassment.
I got the stockings on and stood up, looking down. I felt Katherine's eyes moving over me again.
"Mmm very nice. One more thing. Get the shoe box out of the black bag there."
I went over to the bag and awkwardly leaned down, trying to get the box out with completely exposing myself. I heard Katherine giggle. "There's
lots
to get used to, Candy."
I got the box out and stood. I lifted the lid off and looked in side to see a pair of black patent-leather open-toed sling backs, with heels at least 5" high, maybe 6". I was efficient at being in heels, but, yikes . . .
But this was obviously what I was going to be wearing tonight. I set the heels down on the floor and slipped my feet into them, immediately feeling the angle of my body change, the tightness in my calves, the way my chest was involuntarily forced forward a bit.
"Come stand in front of me, Candy,"
I walked over to her, a tiny bit wobbly as I tried to adjust to the fearsome heels. Katherine looked me up and down again.
"Nice. Just a few adjustments."
She undid the sash, and I whimpered softly as the robe fell open. She smiled and adjusted the robe a bit, creating a deeper V at the neckline, then re-tied the sash. "Turn around."
I turned, and she adjusted the seams of the stockings. "Perfect now."
I turned back to face her and she nodded towards the floor, subtly. I caught her eyes and slipped carefully down to my knees, thinking idly that kneeling wasn't necessarily the worst option right at this moment. I looked down and blushed again, seeing how the bottom of the short robe didn't even reach the stocking-tops.
Katherine lifted my chin. Her gaze froze me a second.
"I like you like this, Candy. Totally accessible, everything about you . . . offering yourself. But at the same time . . . the hint of mystery."
She laughed. "OK, a very small hint of mystery, I grant you."
I laughed nervously.
"It will take a little time for you to feel comfy like this, I know."
I stammered a bit. "Yes, Miss . . . I . . . feel like . . . a slut, dressed like this, and I'm, well . . . not a slut."
She laughed and brushed her finger across my lips. "Well, a week ago you weren't a lesbian, either."
Her laugh made me shiver, but I could hardly argue with her logic.
Katherine settled back on the couch and nudged my legs wider apart with her foot. I spread a bit wider, and had the feeling that a deep blush was going to be my normal coloring for a while.
"I'm so hungry. I wish that pizza would get here."
My eyes grew wide . . . I had forgotten about the fact that pizza was coming. My mind started to reel a bit, when the doorbell rang.
"Oooooooo goody. There it is." Katherine handed me a few dollars. "Go get the pizza and give the guy his tip, Candy."
I swallowed hard as I rose to my feet. It was one thing to be dressed like this in the private company of someone you've been intimate with, but to answer the door like this? My heart was racing.
I think I wobbled and wiggled in the heels more than I otherwise would have. I was flushing, face on fire. I stopped at the door and reached for the knob, dying inside, hearing Katherine's voice behind me . . . "mmmmmmmm nice wiggle."
