"Oh...oh...oh," Amber gasped. Her fingers dug deeply into the large roll of black material that she was pressed into. Her strawberry blonde hair swayed back and forth as her head hung. Gripping tightly while rocking back and forth. Looking down at four feet's stances and her sagging dress's swaying flow.
"Shhh...Quiet," Mr. Peters said lightly while grasping Amber's waist tighter. Pulling her to his pumping, short strides. His elderly, frail and lanky frame quivered with excitement mixed with nervousness. His glances darted through the crack in the door then back to his lustful bliss.
The back room of the Ole Town Boutique was filled with rolls of fabric on one side. And a work table with a mannequin, needles, and tools of the trade on the other. The small area was cluttered with boxes and baskets stuck in every Nic and Cranny. The smokey glassed window offered light, yet seclusion.
Amber was bent over holding tightly while Mr. Peters worked feverishly to obtain his ecstasy. The light sound of slapping flesh marked their bodies greetings. Her enjoyment was obvious but her patience was wearing thin. She knew not to be gone from the front of the store for very long. She thrusted backwards harder and faster in an attempt to bring Mr. Peters to his goal.
"Oh Amber," Mr. Peters said as his pace slowed and his grip released. She stopped her strides when she felt his cum. Panting lightly she straightened up and fixed her dress while Mr. Peters began grabbing at her. His erect cock pressed into her side as he made an attempt to kiss her. Fondeling her breasts and hugging lightly.
"AMBER!" A call came from the front of the store and both Amber and Mr. Peters froze. Looking at each other for a second then scrambling to adjust their clothing. Amber ran her hands through her hair quickly then sprang out the door. Mr. Peters was still fastening his pants then his belt's buckle. His black pants matched his black vest that was open over his long sleeve white shirt.
Closing the door behind her Amber flattened out her dresses crinkles and fluffed up her frilly shirt. Cupped her breasts and adjusted them slightly then darted through the blue velvet curtain that led to the show room floor.
"Yes, Mrs. Peters?" Amber said with a shy slight tone. Her face a bit flush and trying not to breathe hard. Grew a smile and come to her side at the front show window. Mrs. Peters was an elderly voluptuous woman with her hands cupped into one another the majority of the time. Her gray haired bun was large which dictated her long hair but no one but Mr. Peters had ever seen her with it down.
"There you are dear. Would you be so kind as to bring me the "Queen Victoria Dress from the back?" She said with glancing eyes. Knowing Amber would reply with curiosity.
"What? Your not selling 'The Dress'," Amber gasped. Her eyes got wide as she stood waiting for a reply.
"I'm afraid so my dear. If we don't make a sale this week. We may not have a next week. Times are tough I know, so we must do what we can to make ends meet." Mrs. Peters rambled while flicking lint and dust from dresses on display.
"But the Halloween Ball is tonight. Perhaps someone will come in today and buy a dress." Amber said with a sinking feeling. She had been saying that all week.
"The Annual Harvest Ball, has been planned out weeks in advance my dear. A sensible woman doesn't wait till the last day to buy her dress." Mrs. Peters said with her 'know it all' personality that she was so well known for.
"Oh," Amber said lightly. Her eyes fell to the floor. Mrs. Peters noticed her sadness and confusion.
"A sensible woman wouldn't pass up a dress like the Queen Victorian though," Mrs. Peters said with a half cocked smile and looking over her glasses at Amber's reply. Amber looked up and felt like a flower blooming. Her sadness disappeared as her mind pondered the thought a moment. Then her lips curled into a smile.
"Oh, I see," Amber said slightly cheerful. "Yes Ma'am. I'll be right back." Amber turned on her heels, whipping her hair and headed back into the back room. Dashing through the velvet curtain with renewed strides. Her middle aged prance was almost child like.
"What does she want this time? More Tea?" Asked Mr. Peters as Amber entered the back room. Her girlish and energetic stride caught Mr. Peters fancy. His eyes watch her flow across the small work room as she began moving boxes around. Mr. Peters put a pin in his mouth and turned to work on the suit before him but one wondering eye kept focus on Amber. Bending over fully and picking up a box then moving it.
"No. She wants the Queen Victoria Dress." Amber said with a coy tone. Turning on her heels with a pointed finger at Mr. Peters. "And don't you forget...you owe me!" Amber said sternly looking the old man in the eyes.
"Yes, yes...just like last time. I promise. I need a couple days though as we agreed, right." Mr. Peters said nervously while both eyes focussed on his fingers threading.
Amber cleared a path to a closet door that hadn't been used in quite awhile. Opening the 'creaking' door and peering into darkness she fumbled through the cluttered space. Thumbing through the hanging clothes till she emerged with a gold colored hanger with a leather cover over a long gown. Amber held the covered garment high as she walked slowly towards the door.
"What's she going to do? Put it in the window as bait?" Mr. Peters said with sarcasm and a smirk.
"Yes," Amber replied. "I hope she doesn't sell it. But if it will bring in a customer." Amber said while exiting the room. Mr. Peters eye's watched her leave with a smile on his face.
"Here you are Mrs. Peters." Amber said as she walked up with the covered gown held high, before her. Mrs. Peters proudly took the garment from Amber and placed it on a rack and began unraveling the lace that held the leather closed. Patiently and delicately pulling each stitch loose till the leather opened up enough to drop towards the floor. Mrs. Peters folded the cover as it revealed its contents.
"Queen Victoria once wore this dress," Mrs. Peters said as she fluffed at its frill and checked its stitching. The Pearl white gown layered to the floor with rows and rows of dainty lace.
