Chapter One -- Kym's New Look
Hi. Some of my more faithful readers will note this story resembles a previously-posted story called "A Shopping Trip Gone Right -- 2". Well, there is a reason for that. I used that story as a springboard for this one, with some pretty big changes. This one will be going in a whole other direction, with different characters. I have naughty ideas for both series, so I hope you'll indulge me and read on.
Kymberly Herrold was in a snit. She paced around her large, tastefully-decorated home and fumed.
Dammit, I'm far too young, far too sexy, to be taken for granted
she thought.
I'm only 30 and already my husband's spending too much time hunched over the computer, I'm a lot more interesting then all those numbers he seems to be adding up
.
She almost wanted a cigarette, even though it had been years since she'd given it up. She'd had it. She decided to figure out a way to get her husband's attention back when he came home from the office. Kym was determined that after hours, Douglas's time was hers. The clients got him from 9 to 5, Kym wanted his attention after that. She wanted conversation, companionship and some long-overdue
sex
.
Kym wasn't the type of woman to have an affair, not yet anyway. Well, there was -- but that wasn't important at the moment. She was still angry enough that if Douglas didn't start paying more attention to her need for companionship and to her sexual desires, she knew she'd give it serious thought. She had a very high sex drive, even higher than when she'd married Douglas 5 years prior. Getting fucked -- and
soon
-- was a high priority.
Kymberly took a good look in the mirror -- and she wasn't happy with what she saw. Yes, she was still attractive, with wavy blonde hair, expressive green eyes and full, soft lips. When she smiled, it showed gleaming white teeth and a friendly,
hi-how-are-ya
look. But the package wasn't as nice as it used to be.
The woman in the mirror was wearing only jeans and a plain T-shirt. No makeup. Kym looked frumpy and that simply wasn't her. The old Kym had
pizzazz
, she always looked like an untamed lioness, fierce and predatory, hungry for new and exciting experiences. Her old jeans had flattered her long legs and hugged her gorgeous derrière, she would have worn a crop-top to show off the smooth skin underneath, or perhaps a sexy blouse that flattered her tits. More often than not, she would've worn a short skirt and heels, she loved being sexy, even when by herself. How had she let herself turn into
this
person? Oookay, we've caught this in the nick of time, Kym thought.
Kym decided that a Shopping trip / Makeover was in order. Kym prided herself on being very frugal. Over the years, she'd saved quite a bit of money. Over the last 5 years, by not being extravagant, she'd save a tidy sum, so a large splurge on new clothes, lingerie and whatever else caught her fancy wouldn't strain her budget. She got out of the frump gear, put on a more figure-flattering pair of jeans and nice, snug halter that hugged her 36-24-36 body and called a cab. Even that was an annoyance -- Douglas had the car so she had to fend for herself. They could well afford a second car, her part-time job at Frills and Lace saw to that, but her husband wouldn't hear of it.
The cab driver kept giving her surreptitious looks as he drove her downtown -- for a moment, she actually considered propositioning him, he was a nice-looking guy in his early 20's, but no -- it was too early, but she did note his name and Hack number for a future encounter, should she feel so inclined.
Kym's first stop was to Frills and Lace. Her boss, friend and co-worker Amy gave her a big hug when she came in, they chatted amiably. Amy had been in a similar situation years ago, her marriage had ended in divorce because of it. Since then, the 35-year old had enjoyed the company of lovers -- of both sexes, she always told Kym. Amy was constantly flirting with Kym, teasingly telling her "I'll get you in bed yet" but Kym had not yet succumbed to the brunette's obvious charms. They stocked her up on new teddies, camis, garter belts and stockings, thongs and anything Kym fancied. Amy more than enjoyed herself, helping Kym with the fitting. Normally, such extravagance would've broken Kym's budget, but Amy made sure to give her a more-than generous discount. "But you have to model them for me sometime!" she winked as Kym left the store.
Humming to herself and now feeling a lot more cheerful, she headed for a trendy clothing store nearby. This was a lot more upscale then Kym normally would have considered, but what the
hell
-- she was splurging. All the salesgirls were extra-cute, but Kym figured she could still give them a run for her money. The tall blonde went all out -- some miniskirts, tight dresses, cocktail dresses, new evening gown, even a few pairs of booty shorts. She even went upstairs and bought some very decadent bikinis, she was going to start making trips to the beach -- maybe even get an
all-over
tan. Kym was really cheering herself up and she felt very wicked.
