I
Jennifer, 44, and her daughter, Angela, newly turned 18, stood outside the open entrance to the lingerie store that had just held its grand opening only a week ago. Both of them hesitated. Jennifer, because she had heard about the store from her friends who gossiped about just how risquΓ© all the undergarments in the store were. Angela too had heard about the store. Most of her friends had already been there. This was her first occasion, but she hated to visit it with her mother, knowing what a prude the woman was.
"Do you think," asked Jennifer, who from a distance might be mistaken for ten or even fifteen years younger, with her well-kept and youthful figure, her blond pixie cut with long bangs, and the way she dressed. Raising a teenager had certain benefits, after all. You knew all about the latest fashion, what the kids wore, how they did their hair.
But as you neared her, as you got closer, as you talked to her face to face, then you saw the wrinkles and crow's feet, the lines of care around her eyes, the uncompromising effects of the pull of gravity, that depth of expression in her eyes, that weird mixture of cunning and naΓ―vetΓ©, that wary suspicion of the world combined with a hopeful poise suggesting that maybe, maybe the world won't try to bite you in ass today.
"Mom. If we go in, I don't want to hear you complaining about what you see. It's all supposed to be."
She didn't finish the sentence.
Angela resembled her mother, the same long triangle face, at once matter-of-fact and sensual, the same gentle curve of hip, the same modest swell of breasts, the same tallish body at 5'5" or 5'6". But Angela loved her hair, and she kept it in a long, flowing cataract of waving hair with its golden, lustrous sheen.
Both women had, quite by chance, dressed that day in a similar vein and style: short, pastel, thigh-length skirts, and plaid, pastel blouses with short petal sleeves showing off their round, smooth shoulders. Jennifer wore pale blue ballet flats, but Angela had pulled on pink ankle booties.
They both looked so adorable, scrumptious, and Casey had to have them.
"I think you two should go in," Casey said, brushing up against Angela as she spoke.
Jennifer's mouth dropped open, astonished at the young thing looking up at them, her eyes inspecting the stranger who had come up to them.
Such a cute little thing, she couldn't be much more than eighteen, her own Angela's age, bright green eyes, short red-brown hair, freckles sprinkled on her rosy round cheeks, lips full and delicate, doll-like in their pink-lipstick, pursed smile, long lashes that might have been false they were so black and long, warm glowing eyeshadow above her eyes. She wore just about the shortest skirt Jennifer had even seen on girl, red sneakers with dark socks, and a light pink t-shirt, exposing the dimple of a belly button on her midriff, short petals just extending past her shoulders, and a fine silver necklace, tight around her neck like a choker, with two joined hearts hanging in the middle, just below her throat.

The girl was so cute, so adorable, really just about the sweetest looking thing anybody could ever hope to see. There didn't seem any point in hesitating anymore. After all, random strangers were encouraging them to enter the store. Besides, the girl kept up such a steady stream of chit-chat, making friends so easily with Angela, Jennifer's heart nearly melted.
It's good to see her make friends so quickly, she thought. I was never that way.
But the store was, well. Her friends had been right. It wasn't risquΓ© so much as outright filthy. Just a step above a common sex toy shop. It even had aisles devoted to all kinds of adult toys, long objects that Jennifer avoided staring at. Mannequins were dressed in outfits approaching the bizarre. Latex, leather, straps with steel buckles and chrome studs.
She picked up a small basket, gave one to Angela, and then picked up another one for herself.
But Casey led them to the soft areas, the silky and satiny areas, and Jennifer found herself relaxing. It wasn't so bad, not really. Not when you thought about the occasions in which such garments would be worn.
"This is your favorite area, isn't it Jennifer?" Casey asked or rather stated. "You just love these kinds of panties, all this sexy lingerie."
Her mind shook its head, and her throat tightened, swallowing dryness. A weird feeling sank in her guts, the pit of her stomach churned. She hated this, she hated everything about this store.
And then her mind relaxed, the nausea disappeared, and she felt happy. Good.
Because she did, she really did like all this sexy lingerie. There was no denying it. She had to admit it.
Although maybe that wasn't something she should be talking about so openly with this, this teenager friend of Angela's.
Lots of crotchless panties, all soft and lacy and very charming.
Demi-bras, cupless bras, negligΓ©es so sheer and transparent the only point lay in seduction.
Of course, naturally.
"It's okay to talk about it to me, Jennifer. We've become such good friends in such a short time."
That too was true.
"It's okay to get so turned on watching your daughter and me pick out the sexiest panties for you, all the sexiest lingerie. Angela's just dying to see you in them. Aren't you, Angela? Just stand still, Jennifer, and don't say anything. Just bask in the lust for your daughter, feel the desire for her burn through you."
Angela turned red with embarrassment and quickly avoided her mother's questioning glance.
Jennifer frowned.
Really, she thought, this is outrageous. This just isn't. Right. The way this girl is, the way she talks, the way I. Feel around her. The way she makes me feel. I have to stop this. We have to get out of here. I need to get Angela out of here, away from her. Right now.
But Jennifer didn't move, and she froze in cold horror as she realized her area down there, her privates, her center began to tingle; she observed her body in cold horror as a chill of pleasure, of sexual arousal, spread throughout her body, rising from her. Pussy.
This was so wrong. Something here was so wrong, and a wild panic seized her, but still she did not budge or move.
Casey smiled at her.
She stepped forward and leaned up to whisper in the woman's ear.
"You just want to fuck her, don't you? You just want to show her how a woman makes love to another woman. You just want to her to sit and watch while you show her how to lick my pussy, to lick my hot, wet, dirty cunt."
Jennifere whimpered.
