“Well, you shouldn’t have left it this late.” She smiled at him.

 

“I was distracted, darling. I’ll see you later tonight.”

 

“Okay,” Skylar replied.

 

He washed his hands before he walked out of the room and out the front door.

 

She slouched down on the toilet seat. She didn’t want him to open her box, or any other box. Only four of the boxes were for Stacy’s shop, the others were for the adult parties she was having for a couple of clients from the store. If she had told him that she was a sales rep for an adult shop, what the hell would he think of her? The parties she had just signed up for right before she had the accident and the first of those parties was scheduled for tonight. She had to leave before he came over or he wouldn’t let her out unless they were together, and that wasn’t going to happen. She wanted her first party to go well.

 

Quickly dressing, she raced back to her room and placed all the boxes on her bed. Opening each box, she emptied them all on her bed. Reaching for the order list, she pulled out Stacy’s lot and put them back in a box and into a corner. Running into her office, she grabbed her list of what items she needed for each party and a marker. She raced back to her room and wrote each party date on the boxes and placed the items in it. Taping them back up, she stacked them in her corner, and covered them with a sheet. Finally finished, she went out into her kitchen to make something to eat.

As he made his way back to his workshop, Nate thought back to when he first walked into Skylar’s room. She was opening a box, ready to pull out whatever was in it. But before he could see what it was, she closed it. He didn’t like anyone hiding anything from him. He was aware that she went in to have a shower to distract him.
And she did a bloody good job of it
, he thought. He was still curious as to what was in the box. After he finished work he would go over to see her and check the box she had with her. God, he hated spying on people, but he disliked secrets and hiding things. He really didn’t want to do it, and break his promise of trusting her, but he wanted… no
needed
to know.

 

As he stepped into his shed, Nate asked Dom, “How’s the Commodore coming along?”

 

“Nearly finished with the exhaust manifold, then all that’s left is fitting the new tyres to the rims,” Dom said.

 

“Okay. Sorry I took so long. I wanted to make sure Skylar was all right.”

 

“How is she?” Dom asked from under the hood.

 

“Better, I’ll be over there again later tonight. Are you still all right staying in the house?”

 

“Yeah, no problems there,” Dom replied. Once Dom was done with the exhaust manifold, Nate jacked up the car, reached for the rattle gun and undid each one. Dom rolled four new tyres towards him. Lifting it up, he removed the old and replaced it with a new tyre, rolling the first one back to Dom, so he could attach it back on the car. He went on to the next one. When the last one was done and on the car, Nate turned to Dom. “You can finish up now. I’ll stay and clean up a bit, then head inside and catch up on some paperwork before I go over to Skylar’s.”

 

“Thanks. Dad wants some help with his garage, and then Mum’s cooking a roast for dinner, so I’ll be staying for that. Then I’ll crash at your place.”

 

“Okay. Say hi to your mum and dad for me. I’ll try and catch up with them soon.”

 

“You’d better. Mum’s been harassing me about when you’re coming over next.” Dom laughed.

 

“I’ll see what’s happening in the next week or two, and then I’ll let you know,” Nate smiled.

 

“Sure, man. I’m heading out now, I’ll catch you later.”

 

       Closing the door to the shop, Nate walked around and picked up all the tools they had used and placed them back where they came from. He swept up, stepped out the side door to lock it, and strolled to his back door. He grabbed a beer on his way to his room. He stripped off his clothes as he gulped half his beer, then he jumped in the shower so he wouldn’t have to worry about one later. Pulling on a pair of shorts, Nate sat down at his desk. He really didn’t want to do all this paperwork, but needed to, and if it didn’t get done now, it wouldn’t be done at all.

After cleaning up her house and hanging out the last of the washing, Skylar walked into the bedroom. Placing the box she needed for tonight near the door, she made her way back to her closet. She pushed all the clothes to one side, and opened the back panel to where she kept all her toys and lingerie. She grabbed what she had decided to wear for tonight and threw it on her bed.

 

When Stacy had asked if she would do some parties selling toys and lingerie, Skylar had jumped at the opportunity. But she only agreed with small parties, six people at a time maximum, and no all-male parties. Skylar and Stacy both agreed that she wear one of the outfits that were in the catalogue from the store.

 

The party tonight was for three couples. She had always wanted to do something like this, and was also curious as to what other people bought at these kinds of parties. Putting that thought aside, she looked over at her clock.
Holy crap
, she only had an hour before she had to be there. Thank God she had a shower earlier. Removing the gown she had on, Skylar picked up the bright red corset and tied it up in front; glad it was the front and not the back. Slipping on the skin-tight black leather pants and red stilettos, her outfit was done. She added the final touches to her makeup and hair and was ready to go. She grabbed her trench coat and threw it on over her sexy outfit and went to the door for the box. Placing the box and her bag on the passenger seat of Alex’s car, she buckled in, reversed out of her driveway and headed towards her client’s house.

Checking the time on his clock, Nate noticed it was late. He rubbed his face and closed down his laptop. Grabbing his bag that he left at the end of his bed, he threw some more spare clothes in it and zipped it up. Throwing it over his shoulder, he walked out into the kitchen and grabbed something quick to eat. When he was done, he grabbed his wallet and keys and locked up. He made his way across his lawn to Skylar’s, and ran up her steps. Reaching out, he turned the door handle to open it, but it didn’t budge. Frowning, he tried again.

 

Maybe she just locked it
, he thought. Nate reached into his pocket and pulled out the spare key, unlocking the door. Stepping in and closing the door behind him, he made his way towards the kitchen.

 

“Skylar,” he called out, letting her know he was there. Hearing no reply, he walked into the kitchen, and then down the hallway towards her room. She didn’t appear to be anywhere in the house. Frowning, he reached for his phone and dialled her number.

 

“Hello,” Skylar answered.

 

“Hey. I’m at your place, where are you?” he asked.

 

“I had to run out for a bit. I’ll be home in ten minutes, okay?”

 

“I’ll see you then.” He ended the call. What did she have to go out for? Alex had everything here… This was his chance to see what was in the boxes. He ripped off his boots and placed them near the door. He walked over to where the boxes were and removed the sheet that was covering them. He noticed they were stacked neatly. Lifting the first one, and then the others, he noticed each box had a different date written on them.

 

Carefully pulling off the tape, so he could replace it without her knowing, he lifted the top open and looked in.
What the hell
? Frowning, he tipped the box out on the bed. There were four lingerie outfits, and all kinds of sex toys. Vibrators, butt plugs in different sizes, anal beads, nipple clamps, cock rings. Why the hell did she have this stuff?

 

He ripped off the tape on another box. This one had the same amount of lingerie, but in different designs, double ender dildos, micro stimulators, crotch-less underwear, strap-ons…
Jesus Christ what was going on here?
Taping back the boxes he opened, he arranged them back the way they were. He took note of the box on top, Wednesday night.
That is tomorrow night
. He wanted to know why she had all these boxes and why they had dates on them. He wasn’t going to confront her when she got home; he would wait until tomorrow and follow her if she left the house. Quickly walking back out towards the couch, he lay down and turned on the TV, waiting until she arrived.

After leaving the Anderson’s house, she couldn’t believe how many products she sold. Three thousand dollars in total, and she got 25 percent of the amount. She had never made seven hundred and fifty dollars in two hours’ work in her entire life. She had a ball at the Anderson’s house. They even rang several of their friends and got them to book a party with her. Although she was only doing this for a short period—to earn extra cash—after the night she had, she’d actually consider doing it longer than the original several months she had planned. She pulled into her driveway and decided to leave the box in the boot. She would grab it out when Nate wasn’t near. Throwing on her long coat, she made her way into her house. Hooking her bag up near the front door, she heard the TV on. Smiling, she walked over towards the couch. Leaning over, she kissed him on the cheek, “Hey. I’m just going to change, and I’ll be out.”

 

He grinned up at her, “Don’t be too long, gorgeous.”

 

Laughing, she made her way to her room. When she was done, Skylar walked into the kitchen. “Do you want a beer?” she called out.

 

“If you have one.” Nate sat up, making room for her. Skylar pulled two beers out and walked back.

 

“Here.” She passed his beer to him.

 

“Thanks.” He was still watching TV. Skylar moved in front of him and climbed onto his lap.

 

Lifting her beer to her lips, she took a sip and smiled at him. What the fuck was she wearing? He twisted the strap around his finger. “What’s this?” he asked.

 

She stood up, so he could get a better look. “It’s called a teddy.” Bright red lace, thin spaghetti straps, and it barely reached her pussy. He could see clearly the small, red lace G-string that was under it.
Goddamn,
was she trying to give him a bloody heart attack? His cock was as hard as steel and throbbing, and she could see it.

 

Smiling, she stepped back over to him, turned around, and sat on his lap, facing the TV. Fuck, there was absolutely no back to it. The straps went from her shoulders right down her back, and joined to the smallest amount of material that covered her ass. Lifting her legs over his, she spread them wider and moved back and forth, grinding her pussy against him. He pulled aside her G-string as she settled over his cock. Nate undid his jeans and Skylar reached down and grasped his thickness in her hand, positioning it against her opening. The wet warmth of her pussy gripped him like a fist as she took him all the way in. Nate gripped her hips as she rode him hard and fast, his hips meeting her thrust for thrust. He recklessly pounded into her. Nate lifted his hand and pinched her nipple hard, through the nightie. Skylar moaned, throwing her head back as she ground her pelvis against him. She stiffened and jerked against him.

 

Her mouth opened wide, screaming his name, and her nails dug into his thighs as she gave one last shudder. Nate didn’t stop; he lowered her onto the floor on her back and thrust into her, pummelling her into the floor with each drive of his hips. His orgasm hit him with a blinding force, and he collapsed on top of her, trembling with every last pulse of his release.

 

Nate lifted himself off of her and grinned. “Whoa, what was that for?” He reached for her hand and pulled her up against him.

 

“It was a surprise. That’s what I wanted to do when you were supposed to come over that night, but never did.” Skylar lost the smile that was on her face, and wrapped her arms around herself, moving away from him.

 

“No.” Nate stopped her from moving anywhere. “You’re not going to think about that, it’s in the past. And it will never bloody happen again!”

 

Skylar turned around in his arms, looking up at him, “Really?” God, she sure hoped so.

 

“Really.” He smiled down at her. “Let’s go to bed.” Turning off the TV and lights, they both walked down towards her room with her hand in his.

 

Sliding under the sheet, she watched Nate remove his jeans before he jumped in beside her. As he stretched out his arm, she crawled over and rested her head on his shoulder, wrapping his long arm around her. Smiling, she cuddled into his side and they both fell asleep together.
