As Elizabeth became more comfortable around Cindy and Maureen, they began to notice a subtle change. Maureen took the role of the older, yet still hip, advisor type. Cindy loved telling Elizabeth stories about her sexual experiences. She always kept coming back to Gary and the size of his cock. One day at lunch together, Cindy asked Elizabeth about sex with Chris.
"Uh, we are married and we have sex. There is nothing else to share."
"Yeah, but you have been married for months now. What do ya'll do to spice things up?"
"What do you mean? Spice things up?"
"You know, sexy nighties, panties, positions, oral sex?"
"You know I don't feel comfortable talking about those things."
"I tell you what, Elizabeth, tomorrow after I get off work, we are going to take a shopping trip to the mall to get you some proper hot wife lingerie. Okay?"
"I don't know. I need to get home after work."
"Yeah, I know. That is why I talked to Maureen about you getting off a couple of hours early. There goes your excuse. Chris will never know that you got off early. And when you come out in front of him wearing what we are going to buy, he will be happy."
True to her word, Cindy gathered Elizabeth and took her to the mall. They visited the chic lingerie shops. Elizabeth would have turned purple a few months ago, but now that she was sexually curious, she browsed eagerly with Cindy. In the end they picked out some lovely panties and a sheer sleep top. The panties were a variety. She got a sheer bikini, a yellow thong like she had seen Cindy wear and a flutter tap panty. Elizabeth was more comfortable with the flutter panties because they had much more material. When she tried them on, she felt naked with the panties forming a loose skirt or shorts.
When they left the mall, Cindy told Elizabeth to come by her shop at closing time the next evening and she would give her a Brazilian wax job so she could wear those sexy new panties. Elizabeth had been curious for months and she had to admit that when she saw Cindy naked, she had a certain warm feeling in her belly. She knew she was not a lesbian, but Cindy was so beautiful and sexy that she had yearnings to look like her.
The next night, Cindy gave Elizabeth a glass of wine when she showed up. She drank somewhat reluctantly, but after a while, had a little buzz. When she was relaxed from the wine, Cindy lead her back into the shampoo nook and had her strip below the waist.
"Wow, girl, you really have a forest below the belt. That is okay. Some men even like that look. For me, though, I love the pretty lingerie and pubic hair just does not go with that."
She gave Elizabeth the full Brazilian wax job. Elizabeth on her part was quite mellow. She didn't understand herself anymore. Here she was naked below the waist and a woman was touching her pussy and areas surrounding. This was so against her puritan upbringing. She felt good and guilty at the same time.
When Elizabeth got home, Chris was waiting for her. They kissed; then Chris asked her where she had been. Still having a little buzz from the wine, she told him that she was going to take a shower and then show him where she had been. She showered, put on some nice perfume and stepped out of the bathroom wearing a pair of the pretty panties and the sheer sleep nightie. Chris about dropped his teeth.
"Where did you get that get-up?"
"Oh, Honey, Cindy and I went shopping and she helped me pick out these things. Do you like?"
Chris should have gotten an instant erection. Instead, he frowned while Elizabeth modeled for him.
"What has gotten in to you? Ever since you got this job and started hanging around that slut, Cindy, you are changing."
"Chris, I was only trying to dress sexy for you. We are the only ones here. I thought you would be happy. We have been married for months now and we don't even have sex that often. I know you work and study, but I work too. It wouldn't hurt to spice up our sex just a little."
"Oh, so now you are not happy with our sex?"
"I didn't say that. It's just that Maureen and Cindy talk about sex like it is very important to them. I want it to be very important to us, too."
"Like I said, these women are putting all these thoughts into your head. Next thing you will be running around with Cindy and Maureen. I have a terrible feeling about where all this is leading. I just want us to be private. I have not been comfortable with your changing your hair, skirts and shoes. Now you are buying this stuff while we are on a strict budget."
"I didn't spend that much at the mall. I just got paid and we could afford a little. Besides, Cindy did my bikini line for free."
"What are you talking about, bikini line?"
She pulled her panties down and showed him her newly slick vagina.
"Oh, my god. What did she do? You look like a prostitute."
Elizabeth finally caved to the insults. She began to cry and ran back into the bathroom. She was so hurt and yet she was angry at Chris for saying these things. She took off her new clothes and put on her flannel nightgown. She came back out of the bathroom and started to go to bed. She was still crying, but trying to stifle it. Chris saw what he had done to her.
"I'm sorry, Elizabeth. It is just that you are changing so fast I can hardly recognize you. I am afraid this will weaken our marriage if you keep listening to those women."
"Those women, as you say, are my friends. Cindy is a little wild, but Maureen is like a more modern mother to me. I love my parents, but we both agreed long ago that we didn't enjoy our teen age years because our parents were so strict and well, backward. I don't want to live like that. You said you didn't either, now you are trying to act like my father all over again."
With that, she turned out the light and pulled the covers over her head. Chris had never heard Elizabeth talk in those tones. She did have a point and he thought about what she had said. He finished getting ready for bed. When he reached for his wife, she cringed and said bluntly, "Don't touch me or talk to me."
