It looked more like a showroom than a changing room.The only odd things were the weird gadgets in the ceiling.
“Take a seat, please,” Mona said and handed her a Noelle bag.“The special order came in.Enjoy.”She smiled as though Jillian was in on the joke.
Inside the bag was a white Noelle box.Probably a gift from Lex.Was this the surprise he’d promised her?
“Have you ever used a virtual model before, Ms.Finnegan?”Mona asked.
Jillian dragged her attention from the present.“No.And call me Jillian.”
“Okay, Jillian.You use these tablets to select what you want.”Mona took the seat next to Jillian’s, picked up a tablet, and swept a finger across the surface.The Noelle Lingerie logo filled the screen.With a touch of a button, a holographic image of a virtual woman was projected from the ceiling.It was anatomically correct.The model could be male or female.
“The windows allow you to browse our various lines.Sexy Temptation, Wicked and Wild, Sensual Delight, and of course, our Blissful Bridal line.”She touched a button and the virtual model held a dildo.“We also have adult toys and creams.You can browse the designs and colors.Double tap your choices and they’ll appear in the cart.You can also double tap any item to remove it from the cart.By the time you leave the room, I’ll have your order ready to go.”
With a click of a button, the model changed out of a sexy negligee into a bodysuit.She was amazed.“They should use this in every store.”
“They will one day.Mr.Manos created the holographic machine.He’s good with his hands.”Her cheeks grew pink, and Jillian wondered who Mr.Manos was.“Mr.Noelle is the designer.”
Deedee’s brother?“Of the machine?”
Mona chuckled.“No, the lingerie.He understands a woman’s body better than most female designers.He knows what empowers us, what’s sexy, or feels naughty.”Done with her sales pitch, she stood.“Help yourself to a drink, or if you’d prefer something else, I can get it for you.As your personal shopper, if you need anything, just call me and I’ll bring it to the penthouse or ask Douglas to pick it up.If you are not sure, I can bring samples for you to try on.My card is in the bag.”
Someone pinch me.“But don’t you need my measurements?”
“Mr.Fitzgerald already sent them.If you’d rather use your holographic image, I can take your measurements.”
Jillian was still trying to wrap her head around Lex knowing her measurements when Mona walked to the wall behind her, opened a drawer, and removed something that looked like a hand-held scanner.
“Stand in the middle of the room, please,” Mona instructed.“I’ll take three-dimension pictures to create your hologram.”
By the time she left the room, Jillian had stopped blushing.Her holographic image looked way too much like her mirror reflection.How come she never realized that her hips were that wide?Or that her ass was a tad bigger than she’d thought.Still it was nice to see how the outfits looked on her.
Some of the corsets from the Wicked and Wild line were hot.She wasn’t a bondage and S&M kind of girl, but she was all for women’s empowerment in and out of the bedroom.The door opened while she was checking out some gartered lace panties.
“I like those,” Lex said.
He would.
“Get those in all the colors,” he added, taking the seat beside her.
Yeah, she could just imagine the bill.She was determined to buy one, or maybe two things, and that was it.Lex had other plans.He kept tapping items and had reasons why she should buy them.Of course he did.They fed his naughty side.By the time they were done, Jillian had the sexiest lingerie she’d ever owned.
“No body stocking,” he said.“It covers too much skin.”
She agreed, but she couldn’t help contradicting him.“I like them.I think I’ll take one.”
He studied the hologram and sighed.“Fine.”
He was such an enabler, until she tried to buy him some sexy underwear.
“We’re done here.Try these on.”He removed the box from inside the bag Mona had left with Jillian.She didn’t bother to ask him to give her privacy.He’d seen her in nothing and at her worst.There was no point in faking modesty.
So sure it was a peek-a-boo lace set, Jillian was surprised to find a black silk and lace bikini and a matching strapless bra.The silk was soft, the design simple yet sexy, and they fit her perfectly.Hedidknow her size.
“I love them,” she said.
“Me too.”He removed a smaller box from inside the bag and opened it to reveal a palm-size remote control.“This has five levels and a twenty-five foot range.What do you think?”
Vibrating panties?
