“Let’sfind you something else to wear until you can get your things dug out of your car,” Lainey said, standing in the middle of her walk-in closet. She opened a drawer, rummaged through. “Here. These are the best.”
She tossed a pair of leggings at me. “If they’re your favorite, I can’t take them from you.”
I was in the same clothes I’d worn when I left Father’s house. Minus panties since they hadn’t been with my clothes when I got dressed. When I asked Trig after them, he only smiled, which meant he hid them. Then he’d told me that he liked easy access to his pussy.
I wasn’t going to tell her I didn’t bring anything with me.
“I bought three pairs. Plus this top and sweater.” She pushed the items at me and walked out of the closet.
I turned and stared after her, then realized she expected me to change right then and there.
Through the open doorway, I saw her lower legs hanging off the edge of her bed. She was waiting.
“You okay staying with Trig? Just say the word and I can rescue you.”
I pushed off my old leggings and swapped them for Lainey’s cozy ones. God, they were really great. Thick and soft and perfect for lounging.
“I think you already did,” I called.
She laughed. “I give him an hour.”
I put my head through the neckhole of the shirt. “An hour for what?”
“To ride over here and take you back. He’s a Wilder boy.”
My eyes widened, even though she couldn’t see me.
“You’re kidding.”
“Nope. One thing you have to learn about my brothers–and I am definitely an expert–they are bossy and obstinate.”
I pulled on the thick chenille cardigan and walked out of the closet.
She eyed me and smiled. “You look great. I wish I had hair like yours. So dark.”
I frowned. “What are you talking about? You have a cute style and I’d give my right arm for your color.”
Her hair went past her shoulders and was a color women paid hundreds of dollars at a salon to achieve. I was sure hers was natural.
“Fine. I like my hair, but I’m jealous of your boobs and you can’t make me think otherwise.” She put her hands over hers and cupped them. They were definitely smaller and I bet she could wear cute bralettes, which I hadn’t fit into since I was fourteen.
I glanced down at myself. I never thought they were spectacular. Just… a lot.
“I always have to wear a bra,” I told her. “Always.”
She shrugged. “Worth it.”
I couldn’t help but laugh. “Whatever.”
“Come on. I got a fancy coffeemaker for my birthday and it makes amazing mochas. Want one?”
“God, yes.”
I followed her down the hall to her kitchen. Where Trig’s place was two stories, Lainey’s house was a rancher. From what I could tell, it had two bedrooms with an open floor plan kitchen, dining and family room. It was pretty much a log cabin that was situated in front of a pond. Not that I knew it was there because of all the snow, but Lainey pointed in that direction when we’d walked from her huge garage.
On the walls were tons of photos. I recognized her family and a bunch of images of a younger Lainey on the back of a horse, the animal moving so fast his legs were practically a blur. A number was pinned to her shirt so she must compete. Barrel racing?
