Please read the first two chapters if you don't know or don't remember what has happened so far as the first three chapters are connected to each other.
After kissing Suzy, I let her down, reached down and just stretched out her sweats somewhat so that we both could hear some of the elastic separating before pulling them back up.
Suzy just looked at me with somewhat evil eyes and a sly smile and I explained, "Elastic is evil really, If you were a model and going to a photo shoot, wearing elastic will delay the shoot an hour or two until your skin rebounds from its elastic prison. As we and I mean you and I, while revamping your clothing, we should consider elastic evil or at least a somewhat necessary evil."
Suzy just wiggled her hips a little and her sweats settled so about an inch of her butt was showing. "Oy" she said, "Do you have any more surprises for me today?"
"Well" I said, "Surprises are the spice of life and the spice of our marriage. Do you know at this time yesterday I was just thinking about what to do next and wasn't too excited about the prospects and thinking about watching some golf on TV or putzing around the yard and maybe seeing if you were free to join me outside. Now I'm with you and am more turned on as part of the new normal day you have set out for us and am so excited about the future that I can see that our sexual and loving will now peak high every single day and who is better off than us? I cannot see how our life and love together will regress". I gave Suzy another huge smile.
Suzy said, as we now sat back onto our bed, "I'm so excited that you are more energized now than when our marriage started, or maybe I should say the second most excited I've seen you since the night our marriage started. I am now happy, happy, and even happier right now and can also see how life together will be getting better as far as I can see into the future."
And then after a pause, "I can see you started sorting out my clothes."
"Yes" I replied "I started to put them into 3 piles and I didn't get very far since you weren't gone very long. I didn't start going through your dresser just because you weren't in the room simply because I treat that as your private place. I started with three piles which I urge you to look at because once we both agree where any piece of clothing ends up in a pile, it stays there. My three piles were Sexy, Not Sure and Not Usable but I think we should add a fourth pile of Professional just in case you have jury duty or some other time when it would be completely inappropriate to dress sexy. But even then, you will have to Sexy those garments but it may be just cutting off one button or something similar."
"You know that I will need to stay warm in the winter and will need to make clothes every time you buy me some so I if I can use some of the material from my current clothes it will be cheaper than buying fabric at the store so I think we should add a "Material Only pile."
As you can see, it took some time to go through every piece of clothing Suzy owned. We even dug out all the clothing in storage so we looked at every bit of clothing Suzy owned.
What came out of it was:
1. Suzy did own many clothes which could be transformed into sexy with her genius on the sewing machine.
2. Suzy raided my closet and "borrowed" some of my clothes because, "Women always look sexy in her guy's clothes".
3. Suzy did part with all but a few of her bras. "I don't want the temptation but sometimes it will be sexier with a bra, wait and see, and once in a while I'll need a normal bra".
4. We put about half of Suzy's panties and swim suits into the "Material Only" pile.
5. We decided to research cold weather sexy clothes and other sexy clothing ideas online once a week for as long as we need ideas, "with Suzy naked or mostly naked sitting on my naked lap". After all, what couple doesn't need more quality time together?
6. We currently live in a two bedroom apartment (saving for a house of our own) with the second bedroom being used as the computer room which is basically my office. We set up almost half of that room to make a permanent place for Suzy's sewing machine and moved a few things around to give her some shelving to place her "material".
7. Suzy promised to start altering her clothing "almost on a daily basis" with me directing what was needed next and giving ideas too.
Once these "chores" were done, we sat down on the bed with our second beer and Suzy asked, "What about that shopping trip you promised? You know we are halfway through our five year plan to save for a down payment plus closing costs for a starter home and we don't have a lot of extra spending money so I don't know how wise it will be to go shopping."
I looked at her, took another sip of beer, "While we were working, I came up with a question I was wondering about and a proposal about finances. Don't look so apprehensive simply because nothing will I ask will hurt you. So first I'll ask the question I was wondering about".
"How did you come up with this sexy way to spice our marriage? Again, don't look so hurt. I love, love it but I've known you for about 6 years and I've never heard before anything like this from you so am only curious. Yes, I know you usually dress sexier than most women but . . ."
Suzy put her finger to my lips. "Please don't analyze this to death before we even get started so just consider it a gift. Please hush until I'm finished. I've already told you that I am doing this as long as my body is pleasing to your eye to help our marriage, our sex life, you and me".
"Now, this is not even important, but I did get the seed of this idea at work". Suzy started.
Suzy works at an old family owned jewelry store started by Mr. Dodd and currently run by his son, Edwin. Mr. Dodd retired about 3 years ago to travel and enjoy the rest of his life. Mr. Dodd had built a quality store with unique pieces because he had an artisan jeweler on staff, continually looked for better sources for the raw goods of his business and advertised, even on local TV. Edwin saw all of that as "unneeded business expense directly eating into my profits." Shortly after Mr. Dodd retired, the staff jeweler also retired and Edwin did not replace him. Edwin, because of how short sighted he was, has already decreased business almost in half in just 3 short years.
Because of this, the whole staff had confronted Edwin on the current state and future of the business and Edwin was not at all pleased with this. After that meeting, Suzy and her coworker Liz, had talked about ways to increase business and decided to "use their women bits" to enhance the sale of most of the male clients. Liz is about 30, Suzy told me, and is taller and bigger than me "in every way". "She has much bigger breasts than I", Suzy observed, "But that is mostly because she has a bigger frame to support them. Liz is a little overweight so I have a better tummy and bottom than she."
Suzy and Liz had decided to wear button down blouses and sexy bras from now on. "Not their sexiest bras, but sexy bras" Suzy told me. When a male customer came in, whomever waited on them would discreetly unbutton on button and if there was a favorable response, then another button would be find its way opened, and finally, a third button. This would lead to very sexy cleavage and the customer would be more likely to buy. Between customers, the girls would button up in case a matron came in who could cause a major commotion.
I suggested to Suzy that because of our new rules, maybe she should go braless instead and just wear a blouse which wouldn't show that she was braless until it was unbuttoned, except wear a thinner blouse without a bra for special times like before Valentine's Day when it was mostly, if not all, male customers buying jewelry. Also, I suggested she go without her panties under her business skirts just because she would feel sexier and nobody else but her and I would know. Suzy liked both of these ideas, "though not every day".
Finally I asked Suzy about the state of her job because if she lost it then we would have major problems until she found another. Suzy told me that once her and Liz's plan had been tried for a week or two then they would get the rest of the staff involved to confront Edwin again. I asked whether she or whoever was closest to Mr. Dodd could talk to him about what Edwin was doing to his business. Suzy wasn't sure if Mr. Dodd was in town and feared that some strong consequences could come from going above Edwin's head.
I asked Suzy to please keep me informed of some of the details of the flashing and whether her job was in jeopardy. And Suzy said she was already doing some preliminary looking for a job just in case a new one was needed quickly.
For the final part of this preliminary conversation, I threw this idea out to Suzy, "I know we have done very well in our 5 year plan to buy a house, but how about we delay the purchase by six months . . ." Suzy wasn't smiling any more so I quickly finished, "so we can buy you new clothes and fabric to make more new clothes and also I would like to buy two bicycles for us."
Suzy just looked at me and I could see she was somewhat disappointed that I would place this new plan as more important than buying a house and starting a family.
I continued, "The bicycles would save us money and save you the time dropping me off to work and picking me up because I could bike to work in decent weather. It is about 6 miles by car, and I'm pretty sure I can find a route which is shorter by bicycle. This would keep me off the main roads which would be safer and more pleasant to ride. Also, with two bikes, we could ride around in the evenings to relax and have another way to show you off."
