The Package Mix-Up
Jake lingered in his kitchen, sipping a beer after a grueling day of code fixes. At 37, he kept his 6'2" frame fit with occasional gym trips, his brown hair slightly messy from nervous habit, eyes flickering to the small package on his counter. Delivered to him by mistake, it bore Erin's name--4B's resident, 35 and very attractive. The label read "Rose Petal Lingerie," and he knew she owned the lingerie shop nearby--a detail that made his cheeks flush as he pictured her in something lacy. Torn between dropping it at her door or facing her, his hands fidgeted with the box.
Duty nudged him forward. He crossed the hall and knocked timidly, half-wishing she'd miss it. She didn't. Erin opened the door in a loose sundress, barefoot, her chestnut locks tumbling gently, eyes blinking up at him with a spark that lingered a beat too long. "Jake? Oh... hi," she said, her voice soft but laced with a teasing lilt, as if she'd caught him staring once before and hadn't minded.
"Uh, hey," he mumbled, thrusting the box forward, gaze dropping. "This came to me. It's yours. Didn't mean to... bother you."
Her fingers grazed his as she took it, a faint blush rising. "Thanks. Um... come in? For a drink, maybe? Since you're here?" Her tone dipped shyly, but that playful glint in her eyes held steady as she stepped back.
He nodded stiffly, stepping into her lavender-scented space, hands jammed in his pockets. She poured rosΓ©, setting the package on the coffee table like it might sting. They sipped quietly, her gaze flitting to him, then away. Jake coughed. "So, uh... what's in it? Not that I need to know."
Erin's flush deepened, her demure smile wavering. "It's... something I ordered. For the boutique, sort of. Inventory." She tucked a chestnut strand behind an ear, fidgeting.
He offered a shy grin, eyes meeting hers briefly. "Inventory? Wouldn't that go straight to the shop, though? I mean--not prying. Sorry." He rubbed his neck, flustered.
Her eyes twinkled, voice softening but carrying that earlier tease. "You're cute when you're awkward. It's lingerie, okay? A set. Satisfied?"
Jake's face burned, his tall, wiry form shifting on her sofa. "Oh. Uh... nice. That's... great." He stared at his wine, tongue-tied.
Something stirred inside Erin--feelings for the man sitting before her, a quiet admiration she'd nurtured from afar for months now, watching him jog past her shop or fumble with his keys. His shy charm, so unlike her usual bold customers, tugged at her. She hesitated, then stood, clutching the package. "Wait here. Don't move." Her words trembled between nerves and intent, but that spark flared again as she slipped down the hall, leaving him to squirm, pulse racing.
When she returned, Jake's breath hitched. Erin stood in the doorway, a vision in a four-piece rose lace set: a black bra exposing the creamy tops of her 34C breasts, a black garter belt wrapping her 24-inch waist, black high-leg panties with minimal back coverage baring most of her cheeks, and black patterned stockings clinging to her toned legs. Stiletto heels clicked as she stepped forward, her chestnut locks spilling over her shoulders, eyes flickering with uncertainty--then sharpening with resolve. She spun around slowly, twice, giving him a full view--the lace teasing her curves, the garter belt framing her waist, the stockings accentuating her legs, her cheeks peeking boldly from the panties.
