The door opened, and Logan stood in the entryway wearing a pair of jeans. He had no shirt, and his feet were bare.

“Right on time.” He smiled, and it made him less imposing.

Logan stepped back and let us into the apartment. Nothing much had changed since we’d been there last, except the furniture in the living room was arranged a little differently. It looked as if everything had been pushed back to make more space.

“Can I get you something to drink?”

“Water would be good.”

Nodding, Logan went into the kitchen. He returned with two glasses of water that he handed to Stephan.

“Lily is in her room getting ready. I’ll let her know you’re here.”

As soon as Logan disappeared down the hallway, Stephan guided me over to one of the chairs in the living room. He sat down first and indicated he wanted me to sit on his lap.

Once we were both seated, he handed me one of the glasses. “Drink. It didn’t escape my notice that you picked at most of your lunch and barely drank anything. I don’t want you to become dehydrated.”

I sipped on my water, and tried to keep my anxiety under control.

Logan reappeared several minutes later and took a seat across from us on the couch. I didn’t look at him. “I thought maybe it would be a good idea if Brianna spoke to Lily privately.”

“I agree.”

I gripped my glass tighter, hoping it wouldn’t break as Stephan and Logan spoke.

“Lily’s in the last room on the right.”

Stephan lifted my chin so that I was looking at him. “Go talk to Lily. I’ll wait here.”

I swallowed. This was it. This was really happening.

Obediently, I stood, handed him my glass of water, and walked down the hallway. It was longer than I’d thought it would be. At Stephan’s, the hallway was only about ten feet long. This had to be at least three times longer than that.

Following Logan’s instructions, I walked until I came to the last door on the right. It had been left open a crack, but I couldn’t see anything past the small opening, so I knocked.

“Come in.”

When I stepped into the room, Lily was sitting on a bed, rolling a stocking up her left leg. She smiled when she saw me. “Hi.”

“Hi.” I looked over the rest of her outfit and quickly glanced away. She was wearing a corset, but the bra part was missing.

She giggled and patted the mattress next to her. “Come sit next to me while I finish getting ready. Logan said we could take our time, but I don’t want to push my luck.”

I went to sit next to her, but I still couldn’t bring myself to look.

“Brianna, it’s okay to look at me, you know. You’re going to have to get used to it if you’re watching us today.”

Lily was right.

Preparing myself as best I could, I turned to face her. I tried not to stare, but it was hard when the black corset she was wearing pushed her breasts up and out. Add to that the contrast it had against her pale skin, and her breasts were hard to ignore.

“You’ve seen other women naked before, haven’t you, Brianna?”

“Yes.” I had seen other women naked. Alex, mostly, but she hadn’t been the only one. This seemed different, though. I knew Lily. And even though I’d known Alex, she and I had never been friends.

“I figured you must have. Can I ask why seeing me bothers you, then?”

I shrugged. “You’re my friend.”
