I pulled back and looked at her. I needed to make sure she was really ready and not just doing this because she thought I expected it. Although at this point, if she changed her mind, no amount of cold showers would help me.

I found the zipper on the back of her outfit and eased it down. It fell and around her feet, and then I saw what she had on underneath.
