Emily and David are back in yet another strange adventure. Thanks to all for your support and comments so far.
Emily first appeared in "Emily the Church Lady" and "Emily Goes Door to Door". Like those tales, this was written to be read as a separate story, but it would certainly make the author happy if you were to read the others as well, if you haven't already.
I submitted the story in the Fetish category, but there is not an single overpowering theme to the story. Exhibitionist and voyeur was also a possibility.

1. Vacationing with Emily.
It was the middle of June, the time of year in the northeast when rainy spring begins to turn into the all too brief summer. We had been a pair for much of the year, Emily and myself, and it had been a marvelous adventure thus far. We enjoyed being in each other's company, and while we agreed on many of life's issues, we differed on enough things to make it constantly interesting.
We decided to take a short vacation together, and had settled on a trip to Cape Cod, about a four hour journey east. We planned to spend a long weekend out there, hoping to beat the madness of summer by going when we did, and prayed we would get lucky with the weather that time of year.
Emily said that she knew a place that was fairly reasonable and a little bit out of the way. I had only been out there once before, and I found it hard to believe that such a place existed in Provincetown, but I was game for anything involving Emily. So it was that we headed off on a cool and rainy Friday morning, hoping for better weather as we went toward the Cape.
Naturally, the damp and dismal weather followed us as we drove east, and managed to become even more miserable the closer we got to our destination. Lighting was flashing all around us as we drove through Truro, toward Provincetown on the tip of the Cape. The weather reports kept promising better weather for the weekend, so we kept our chins up as we pulled into our motel parking lot. The thought of being in a motel room with Emily for a weekend with nothing to do but... you know, was not all that horrible a scenario regardless of how the weather turned out.
Quiet and out of the way are terms that mean different things to different people, I figured out. The place was very nice though, and for Provincetown I suppose it was relatively secluded. The term "fairly reasonable" was also relative, as I almost had a stroke when I saw the price of the room. When I saw that the price was not the total for the three nights, but for EACH night, I thought cardiac arrest was on the horizon.
Emily didn't blink, however, and whipped out her credit card as we checked in. I protested and moved toward my wallet but Emily cut me off.
"No David" Emily said firmly, "this was my idea so I'm paying. You can take care of the meals and stuff."
I agreed to that with a sigh of relief that I hoped was not as audible as I feared. It then hit me that we had never discussed money or salaries, and the possiblity existed that she might be a lot better off than I was. Certainly without the college bills I had assumed for my sons, that was not impossible.
The room was truly gorgeous; with a view of the bay, a jacuzzi in the bathroom and the swimming pool just far enough away to be available but not so close as to be noisy. The windows were open, and as the salty air filled my lungs, I was reminded of how hungry I was, and how dinner time was fast approaching.
"What should we do, my dear?" I asked Emily as we unpacked our things.
"Well, we know that we wanted to go out to dinner one night at a really nice place" Emily reminded me, holding up the slinky black dress that I had bought her when we first started seeing each other.
"Maybe tomorrow night would be better for that" I suggested, looking outside. While it had cleared a bit, it still was not exactly an ideal afternoon.
"No, not tomorrow night" Emily said, a little more decisively than I would have expected.
"Why my dear?" I asked. "Did we have something planned for tomorrow night?"
"Oh, no" Emily said while tossing her undies in a drawer. "It's just that we were going on the whale watch tomorrow morning, right? What happens if we get sick on the boat or something and don't feel good?"
"Yeah, I suppose so" I agreed. "Speaking of the whale watch, I bought something you can wear on the boat tomorrow" I said while digging into my suitcase.
I found the bag I was looking for and brought it over to Emily, who was brushing some imaginary lint off that exquisite black cocktail dress. How I longed to see her in that!
"I figured you'd want to see me in this dress on the boat" Emily said with a giggle.
"An black evening gown on a whale watching boat?" I laughed. "That's silly! Besides, the salt would stain it. Here, I got you these, and you can take your pick. Here's number one."
I held up the red blouse, a glorified tube top of sorts. No shoulder straps, with a front that was kept together by laces. Emily's eyes rolled back a second after I held it up.
"Next!" Emily immediately announced as she gave me a tsk-tsk type look.
"You don't like it?" I asked, my feelings a little hurt as I had pictured how sensational she would look in that. "Okay, then this one you'll love!"
I held up the other top. This one was a light blue sleeveless blouse with little spaghetti straps.
"David," Emily moaned as she shook her head, "I can't wear those."
"Why not?" I asked her. "I think they're really cute and I thought you'd look amazing in them.
"I can't wear blouses like those" she said while taking the red one off the bed. "You can't wear a bra with either of those!"
"So what? I said. "You don't need to wear a bra."
"I know that already David" Emily said. "You don't have to rub it in."
"That's not what I meant and you know it" I insisted. "You're on vacation, and nobody even knows you here."
Emily picked up the light blue blouse and, after holding it up, took off her clothes and put it on. I helped tie the strings and stood back and admired her view.
The thin cotton was a tad more revealing than I had thought, but Emily still looked wonderful.
"Well, at least this one has straps to keep it up" Emily mused. "The other one would fall right down on me. You need something on top to be able to wear things like that."
Despite my months of positive reinforcement, Emily was still self-conscious about her breasts, or lack thereof. I knew all about lack of confidence and negative body images, but I failed to see how anyone could look at this woman and not declare her gorgeous looking. One guy had, and the resulting damage was apparently as extensive as it was difficult to shake.
"Honey, you're beautiful" I said hugging her close. "I'm going to keep telling you that until you figure it out for yourself. If you don't want to wear either of these blouses, that's fine by me."
"Well, maybe this one" Emily said. "We'll see."
