And the winner is angelscatie for guessing right (well he gave two answers). Virtual handshake! (I can't send anything else!)

A rather short chapter.

Happy Thanksgiving to my American readers!

Harm's Residence

Naples, Italy

"Oh my goodness!" Skate's hands shot up to her mouth as she saw the piece of clothing Harm was holding up. "I…I can't believe that I forgot to..."

"Forgot ok, but you wear Winnie the Pooh panties?" Harm replied, with an incredulous but slightly teasing tone.

The petite former RIO and now CO turned crimson red with embarrassment and stared Harm for a few seconds before spluttering, "O...K, can you give it back?"

"Can you please give my Winnie the Pooh undies back?" Harm corrected. "Don't you know under Article 3501.100, you're not allowed to wear coloured or fanciful undergarments, especially with your summer uniform or full dress whites?"

"Harm! It's winter right now and that's something personal! Give it back to me!" She wanted to use the correct name for the item but was still red with embarrassment and now slightly shivering.

"Uh...uh..." Harm raised the underwear above his head and the short female officer definitely could not reach for it. "Harmon Rabb! You're a perv..."

"Commander Hawkes, watch your mouth! Ok, here you go," he dropped the panties into her hands. "But tell me why you have this..."

"Grr..." The three bar officer grunted, then still slightly embarrassed, she explained, "my girl friend gave it to me during a surprise birthday party, ok? And for the record, Article 3501.100 does not stop me from owning these sort of undies. I do not wear it with any of my service uniforms, flight suits or any Navy uniform. Now," she continued, folding the undergarment with her hands, "go wash your hands and prepare dinner, Captain Chef; I'm starving."

"Yes...Winnie the Pooh," Harm muttered, making sure his guest did not hear that. Ok, he thought, every one has some little secret. But he clearly didn't expect his former RIO and closest carrier-based friend to wear underwear with a children character. As Harm washed and prepared to cook, he felt his penis stiffen. Oh my gosh, I'm getting an erection over Skates and her underwear?!
