I was totally spent after Sapphire had fingered me to three orgasms, and I was very tempted just to drift off to sleep. However, even though Sapphire was there as our slave, she was still a guest in our home. I got up and led her into the guest bedroom, which has its own bathroom, and I checked that she had enough towels and everything else she might need. Then, before I left her to have a shower, I gave her a quick hug.
"Thank you, Sapphire. I'm very pleased with you."
She smiled. "Thank you, Mistress."
"You know, I'd love to be able to thank you using your real name, but I guess that's not appropriate."
"Why, don't you like the name Sapphire?" I could tell she was gently teasing me.
"It's a lovely name. But you know what I mean, don't you?"
"Yes Mistress."
Mike had already showered and gone to sleep by the time I got back to our room. I showered, pulled on fresh panties and an old Guns 'n' Roses t-shirt my father gave me, and I crawled into bed myself.
Mike had promised to spend Saturday morning helping his sister move house, and he had to run a couple of open homes in the early afternoon, so when he wasn't in bed when I woke up, I got straight out of bed. I was keen to see him before he left. I found him fully dressed in the kitchen making a large batch of French toast, and his big smile and loving kiss gave me all the reassurance I needed. It told me that even if we needed to follow this up with a huge talk about our relationship, I could trust that he remained committed to working things out.
I sat down on one of the stools at the breakfast bar to watch him cook. The small bag that was part of our prize was lying there, so I opened it up and looked inside. I recalled Heather saying that the small prize bag could enhance the experience of the premium prize, and now I understood what she meant. There was a thousand dollars' worth of vouchers, all with a romantic or sexy theme. There were vouchers for lingerie, alcohol, beauty treatments, and one for an adult shop that I didn't think I would ever be daring enough to enter.
My thoughts were interrupted by Mike giving a cheerful hello as he looked past me to the door. I swivelled around and saw Sapphire standing there. She was wearing another thong -- a black one this time -- and nothing else.
"Good morning, Mistress and Mike," she said. "I'm sorry for sleeping in. I should be making the breakfast."
I ignored that. "Didn't you bring any clothes to wear?" I asked.
"Yes Mistress, but I didn't want to put them on because I didn't have your permission."
I looked around at Mike and saw that he was grinning happily. "Michael!" I scolded. "You're burning the toast." I picked up a blouse that was sitting by my sewing kit waiting to have a seam repaired and I handed it to Sapphire. "Here, you'd better put this on, or we won't get anything edible." I got Sapphire to sit on the stool beside me. The blouse wasn't as long as my t-shirt and her ass was still on display. I just rolled my eyes whenever Mike found some lame excuse for coming around our side of the breakfast bar.
Once Mike had left (after checking out Sapphire's ass even as he kissed me goodbye), I couldn't help but comment. "I think he really likes your choice of underwear. I haven't worn a thong in years."
"Really?" Sapphire was horrified. "But your ass would look great in a thong."
"I just find them too uncomfortable."
"You totally get used to wearing them. It's like when you first start wearing bras as a teenager. You think that you will never find them comfortable, but after a while you don't notice it at all."
"Maybe I should buy some. I've got these vouchers," I said, passing her the gift bag. Sapphire spent a minute looking through the vouchers.
"These places are all in the same part of town," she said. "If you wanted to go shopping today, then you would have the advantage of a slave to carry your bags."
"That sounds like fun," I said.
"You know, this lingerie place is really top of the range. You could get them to measure your bra size and get yourself some good quality bras."
"What's wrong with my bras?" I asked. Since the only bra she had seen of mine was one of my favourites, I couldn't help but feel offended.
"The bra you wore last night was gorgeous, but I couldn't help but notice that the underwires weren't sitting flat against your ribcage. You might not have noticed it yourself since it had that extra strip of lace below the underwires."
"But how did you notice? You only saw me wearing it for just a few seconds."
"I've got an eye for these things. I'm doing fashion design at university."
"Ok, but why would you assume that all my bras are the wrong size?"
"I don't know for sure, but it does stand to reason if you bought such a nice set in the wrong size. Let me ask you a few questions. Apart from one or two special bras, most of your everyday bras are cheaper, aren't they?"
I nodded.
"And when you first buy them, they are strangely uncomfortable for a few weeks but then they seem to fit you fine."
Again, I nodded.
"And let me guess that you have been wearing the same size bra since the end of high school?"
"No. I went up a dress size in my first year at university, but my cup size has always been a C."
"I disagree," argued Sapphire. "You might have started needing larger jeans when your hips started getting curvier, but as for your chest, I think you went up a cup size, not a dress size. I think you will find that you're a D cup now. The reason your cheap bras start fitting better after a few weeks is that they're getting stretched."
I stopped and thought about it. What Sapphire was saying made perfect sense. "Ok," I said. "Let's go shopping. I'll just throw some clothes on and we'll go."
I put on a skirt and a blouse. I was too ashamed of my collection of old bras so I figured I could go without for the drive into the city. Sapphire was waiting for me by the door, still wearing just the blouse and thong she had already been wearing. I giggled while she kept a straight face. "Let me guess," I said. "I have to order you to get dressed."
"Yes Mistress."
"In that case," I said, feeling naughty, "if you've got a dress in your bag then I want you to put it on. No underwear!"
"Yes Mistress."
Sapphire joined me again a few minutes later wearing a cute summer dress with spaghetti straps. We took my old car and drove into the centre of town. As I drove, Sapphire phoned ahead to the lingerie shop and reserved a senior consultant and fitting room for me. The consultant was a woman in her 50s named June, and she was slightly motherly. She didn't seem at all fazed when Sapphire joined us in the fitting room. She simply ascertained that I was the one wanting to be fitted with a bra, and she asked me to remove my blouse. She also didn't bat an eyelid when she saw that I wasn't wearing a bra already. I guess this only reassured her that I was more likely than most to buy something.
After taking some measurements, June soon confirmed Sapphire's diagnosis that my breasts were a D cup. After discussing my preferences with regards to styles that I like, June went out into the store and returned with half a dozen different bras for me to try on. Once I had chosen two that I liked, we went on to choose colours, and eventually I had settled on a white lace bra and a red bra with black lace trim.
"Will you be wanting any matching accessories?" asked June as she started measuring my hips and waist.
"Yes, she'll be wanting a pair of bikini style panties and a G-string for each bra," said Sapphire.
"Very good. The red bra also has a garter belt that goes with it."
"She wants that too." I thought it was very cheeky for Sapphire to speak on my behalf like that, but I appreciated the decisions being made without me having to worry about how frivolous the purchases might be. I did have a small measure of payback when June returned with the panties and garter belt.
"My apologies, but I've only just remembered that the red set is on sale this weekend," said June. "It's two for the price of one. Would you like two sets of that type instead of the white set, or would you prefer to add the extras to what you have already selected?"
