I'm Yours

Chapter 2: Dress to Impress

"Wake up, my Darling."

Rufus slowly fluttered his eyes open at the sound of his wife's voice. "Hm?" he asked, slightly out of it.

"I've brought you breakfast in bed!" Lilly announced proudly.

Rufus sat up in bed. "That's nice. Thank you." He tried to sound sincere, but knew that he wasn't doing a very good job. He kissed Lily's cheek in hopes of it distracting her from his tone.

No dice.

Lily rolled her eyes, and set the tray overtop of his lap. "Don't worry, I didn't make it! Charlie was out and about anyway, so I had her pick he up your favorite breakfast from The Waffle House."

Rufus grinned brightly. "You sure do know the way to a man's heart!" He glanced down at the big plate of waffles drenched in butter and syrup, laying next to a pile of bacon and sausage, with cheddar scrambled eggs on the other side. Beside the plate was a tall glass of orange juice. "And his stomach!" He looked back up at Lily and grinned again.

Lily smiled, and gently rubbed his thigh over the covers. "I'm glad you like it!"

Rufus took a bite of his first waffle, and closed his eyes, savoring the delicious taste. "Mm... That's a good waffle!"

Lily grinned.

"You seem incredibly cheery lately," Rufus noted.

"How can I not be? My husband just surprised me with a trip to Hawaii for a late honeymoon!" Lily said, the grin still on her face.

"Sounds fun. Can I come?" Rufus joked.

Lily smirked. "Well, there are only two ticket, but maybe I can make my husband stay home. He's boring anyway. He'd probably just weigh me down."

Rufus swallowed the bit of waffle he had in his mouth, then took a sip of his orange juice before responding. "You should bring me for sure then." His eyes lowered with that look of hunger he always got in his eyes when he wanted to get intimate. "I can assure you, I will keep you well entertained in all the ways you like."

Lily shrugged. "It's settled then. My husband's out, you're in."

They grinned at each other, then kissed sweetly on the lips.

Lily licked her lips. "You taste like syrup."

"That's because of the syrupy goodness on my waffles. Did I tell you how good these are?" Rufus asked.

Lily smirked. "A couple times, yes."

"Try some!" Rufus said, holding a forkful out to her.

Lily looked down at the forkful, and hesitated. "I already had some strawberry banana low-fat yogurt and some oatmeal and milk for breakfast."

Rufus scrunched his eyebrows. "What kind of breakfast is that?"

"One when you're on a diet," Lily answered him.

Rufus shook his head. "Lil, the last thing you need to do is go on a diet. You already look perfect the way you are!"

Lily took his free hand and kissed it. "I appreciate that, Darling, but I need to drop ten pounds or so if I want to look good in my bathing suit. I know just the one I want to wear, and I'm going to go out and buy it today."

Rufus shrugged. "I still think your body is perfect, but I know there is no arguing with you once you get your mind set to something."

Lily nodded. "You know me well."

Rufus grinned. "I should hope so! I'm your husband!" He held out the forkful of waffle to her again. "Come on, just one bite. It's not going to kill you or make you gain anything."

Lily sighed. "All right, just one bite!" She took a bite, and tasted it. She nodded her head. "Mm, that is good!"

Rufus grinned even brighter. "See? I told you! Want another bite?"

Lily shot him a look. "I told you only one bite."

Rufus shrugged. "It's your loss."

Lily sat with him while he finished his breakfast, which didn't take long.

"You're an animal!" she told him with a smile as she took his tray, and set it on the floor.

He raised his eyebrows up and down suggestively. "Don't you forget it! Heck, I won't let you." He grabbed her, and moved her so that she was now pinned down below him on the bed.

She smiled up at him, and batted her eyelashes. "I figured maybe you could come shopping with me today. I want to get us both some things for the trip."

"Can't you just go? You know I hate shopping," Rufus wined.

Lily smiled, and gently stroked his hair. "I could, but I was kind of hoping you would come along to try things on, and to help me pick out things you'd like on me."

Rufus licked his lips. "Like what?"

Lily brushed her lips against his ear, and ran her hands slowly down his chest. "Like, maybe, what you'd like to see me in when we spend time in our hotel room?"

Rufus moaned, and she knew she had him.

"I think that could be arranged," he murmured, his hands sliding down her sides.

Lily grinned. "Great! So get up and ready, then we'll go."

Rufus shook his head, and licked his lips again. "First, I wanna help you work off some of that nonexistent extra weight you claim to have."

Lily grinned. "And how do you plan on doing that, my Love?"

Rufus grinned, and began unbuttoning her shirt. "Let me show you."

Lily smiled. "Well, I suppose a workout is worth putting shopping on hold for a moment. As long as it's a good one."

Rufus moaned against Lily's skin as he kissed down her newly exposed stomach. "Oh, I promise you, I'm gonna work you harder than you've ever been worked before." He got down to her stockings and pulled them down with her underwear.

It was Lily who moaned this time. "Shopping can most definitely wait."

Rufus grinned up at her. He loved getting his way.

"I thought you said I could help you pick out lingerie," Rufus whined as Lily piled his arms high with outfits she thought would be perfect for him to wear in Hawaii.

"I did, but I also said I wanted you to come along to try some things on. We will get your clothes first, and then mine," Lily said absentmindedly as she examined a pretty sky blue button down cotton shirt. She tossed it into the growing pile of clothes in his arms.

"Lil, we're only going for a week. Besides, I do have lots of clothes at home I can wear," Rufus reminded her.

Lily rolled her eyes. "Part of the fun of a vacation is shopping. And everyone knows it's no fun to shop by yourself!"

"You could have brought Eleanor," Rufus reminded her.

"Eleanor is not going with us to Hawaii, is she?" Lily asked.

Rufus grinned. "Thank God, no."

Lily chuckled. "I hear ya!" She looked at the huge pile in his arms, and sighed. "All right. Let's just get you a couple more pairs of shorts and some sandals, then we can start on me."

Rufus nodded. "Now you're talking!"

They headed over to the shorts section, and Lily searched through the clothes, tossing into the pile a couple pairs of khaki shorts, a couple pairs of jean shorts, and a few pairs of jersey shorts in various colors.

"Oh! I forgot, you'll need some extra underwear, and some swim trunks," Lily stated.

Rufus blushed. "I have plenty of underwear at home, thank you."

Lily placed a hand on her hip. "Rufus, some of your underpants are so old they have holes in them. We're getting you some new ones."

Rufus felt his face heat up, and was sure that his face was several shades of red. He could sense people staring at him, and was ninety-nine percent sure he heard someone snickering. "Lily," he said quietly through clenched teeth, "please stop embarrassing me."

Lily rolled her eyes. "Oh, please! Like these men have never gotten holes in their underwear." She motioned her hand around the men's department, and Rufus wanted to die.

He found himself grateful for the huge pile of clothes in his arms after all. It gave him something to hide his face behind.

Lily picked up a package of briefs, then picked up some boxer shorts, and a couple of colored T-shirts. "There! Now you're all set for bed too. Okay, we've got you dress pants, jeans, dress shirts, undershirts, T-shirts, briefs, boxers, shorts, and socks. You know what? Go try those on, then we'll find you some sandals and your swim trunks."

Rufus sighed. "Whatever you say, Dear."

Lily smiled. "Good boy!"

Rufus went into the changing room. He would put up with the annoying clothes shopping. He knew it would all be worth it once they got to Hawaii.

Lily had expected him to try every item on for her. Then of corse there were about ten things he had to retry on to see if the new size Lily picked out for him was any better. Five out of the ten, she liked the first size better, so he had retried them on for nothing. Then, they had spent another half hour picking out shoes. Just when he thought he had found a great pair, Lily didn't like the look on him, so she had him try on a pair she liked. However, he had insisted on keeping the sandals he had picked out. She agreed, but she got to pick out the dress shoes and the sneakers. The swim trunks were easy. He had seen a nice pair of Billabongs with a beautiful beach theme on them. He and Lily had both instantly decided they were perfect for Hawaii. He tried them on, and Lily said he looked incredibly sexy in them, so it was settled.

Finally, they were done with his shopping for him, and onto shopping for Lily.

Rufus was amazed when she picked up some socks, tights, and lace camis (all in various colors), blazers, pretty dress pants, pretty blouses, and colored T-shirts in hardly any time at all. Then, she picked up some shorts in various materials, patterns, lengths, styles, and colors just as quickly. "Now, I just have to buy a few dresses, and a few pairs of shoes, my swimsuit, and I'm all set!" she said.

"Are you going to try all that on?" Rufus asked, nodding toward the pile of clothes in her arms. He was surprised at how quickly she had picked all of it out. It had taken her under ten minutes! If shopping were a sport, she would have a race car driver equivalency.

Lily shook her head. "No, I know the brands, and I know my size."

She set her pile of clothes aside, then went searching through the dresses.

Rufus set his clothes down next to hers, and searched with her.

"How about this?" he asked, holding up a purple dress that was practically cut down to the waist.

Lily looked the dress up and down. "We're going to Hawaii, Rufus—not a hooker convention."

Rufus pouted, then put the dress back. "I still think you'd look sexy in it."

Lily smiled, then held up a white dress with red roses on it. It was billowy and pretty. It was low-cut, but not insanely low-cut like the one Rufus had picked out. "How about this one?"

Rufus nodded. "You'll look especially breathtaking in that."

Lily grinned, and put it in her growing pile of clothes.

"I'm going to go look around for stuff I'd like you see you in," Rufus told her.

Lily grinned. "All right, but I can't guarantee I'm gonna buy them...or wear them."

"Hey, if I am wearing what you picked out for me, you can wear a few things I pick out for you," Rufus said sternly.

Lily sighed. "All right, fine. You may pick out three things. And don't get any ideas about that dress!"

Rufus pouted, and crossed his arms over his chest. "You're no fun."

Lily smirked at him. "You won't be saying that on our honeymoon, I assure you."

Rufus grinned too. "I'll be right back." He kissed her cheek, then took off.

Lily smirked, and shook her head. She wondered what Rufus would pick out for her to wear. Then again, she wasn't sure she really wanted to know.

"All right, what do you have for me?" Lily asked, once Rufus had met back up with her.

Rufus held up a pair of blue jean cutoff shorts that looked a la Daisy Duke. They were incredibly short. Next, was a pair of black faux leather pants that laced up the front. They looked to Lily like she was going to need a crowbar to slide herself into them. Finally, he had a red string bikini that left little to the imagination.

He grinned. "I looked at your size on the clothes you already picked out, so I know it's the right size. You didn't have a swimsuit picked out yet, but I know your cup-size, so it wasn't hard to pick one out."

Lily smirked. She couldn't see herself wearing those clothes in a million years, but, since Rufus had been so nice to plan this honeymoon for them, and since she had given him permission to pick three things out, she would agree to it. "Let me try them on just in case."

Rufus smiled like the Cheshire cat. "All right!"

Lily looked him in the eyes. "But you don't get to see until our honeymoon."

Rufus pouted, but agreed. After all, as long as she agreed to buy and wear them, he couldn't really complain.

So, he waited five minutes while Lily tried them all on in the dressing room.

She came out with the items in her hand, and a smile on her face. "You actually picked out the right size for all three," she informed him.

Rufus licked his lips. "I can hardly wait to see you in them."

Lily sighed. "Let's just say, if I want to continue to fit in them, I'm going to have to stick to my diet."

Rufus shrugged. "Again, I still don't think you need one, but whatever it takes!" The grin had never left his face.

"I got everything I need while you were out picking those up," Lily stated. "We can go checkout now, then go get lunch."

"But what about your lingerie?" Rufus whined.

Lily smiled. "Good things come to those who wait, my love." She kissed his cheek, then grabbed her stuff. She nodded toward Rufus' clothes. "Grab them, and we'll go pay for everything."

Rufus grabbed his clothes, and followed behind her to the registers. "How on earth do you shop so fast?" he asked her.

"It's a gift," Lily said without looking back.

Rufus licked his lips. The "gift" would be when he got to see her in the clothing he had picked out for her. He grinned at the thought.

"Finally!" Rufus said as he and Lily headed into Leather & Lace, a new lingerie place in the city. They had eaten lunch and had dessert, and he was still hungry—for Lily that is.

Lily grinned. "First thing is first. I need some new underwear. She headed straight over to the underwear display.

Rufus licked his lips, already imagining Lily in half of the display...then out of them.

"What color should I get?" Lily asked with a smile. "Red?" She held up a lacy red pair of bikini-style briefs. "Black?" She held up a mesh pair of black bikini briefs. "White?" She held up some low-rise cotton briefs with little red hearts all over them. "Or, maybe purple?" She held up a pair of bikini briefs that had lace on the sides and mesh in the front and back.

Rufus swallowed hard. "All of them?" he suggested.

Lily smirked. "I had a feeling you would say that.

She picked out her size in all of them, then chose a light pink pair of cotton bikini briefs that only had a thin line of fabric on both sides to hold up the underwear.

Rufus moaned to himself. He was already hot for his wife, and they hadn't even gotten to the fun part yet!

Lily picked out the matching bras that went with the underwear, then they headed over to the teddies.

Lily smiled at him. I'm mainly buying these for you, so I'll let you pick out four, and I will pick out four—one for each night we'll be in Hawaii.

Rufus smirked, and picked up a red lace teddy. He held it up to himself, and put on his best flamboyant voice. "I don't know if it's my style, Honey. Does it make me look fat?"

Just as he did so, a little old lady came by and turned her nose up at him. "How appalling!" she said before quickly heading over to the other side of the store.

Rufus blushed at first, then got annoyed. "No, what's appalling is the fact that a woman of her age is even in a store like this!"

Lily giggled, and placed a finger to her husband's lips. "Sh! She could hear you!"

Rufus hung the Teddy back up. "Like I care, the old bat!"

Lily snickered. "Hey, old people still express their love too."

Rufus wrinkled his nose. "They should find another way."

Lily raised an eyebrow. "So, are you trying to tell me, you won't want to be intimate with me once I pass a certain age?"

Rufus shook his head, and wrapped his hands around her waist. "No, of course not! You'll be way more beautiful than that old bat is when you're her age."

Lily kept her eyebrow raised. "And if I'm not? What if I'm old and decrepit looking?"

Rufus shrugged. "That's impossible, but, even if you do get to look old and decrepit, I'm still going to think of you as the most beautiful woman in the world. Every day I get to make love to you is a blessing, and it always will be."

Lily's eyes lowered. "Oh, Rufus!" She pulled him into a deep, and passionate kiss.

"Get a room!" the old lady said as she passed them on her way out the door.

"Oh, stuff it, ya old bat!" Lily snapped. She instantly covered her mouth when it slipped out.

Rufus burst into laughter.

The old lady opened her mouth in shock. "Well, I never!".

"I can believe that!" Rufus said.

Lily was the one to burst into laughter this time.

The old lady scowled at them, then took off.

Rufus and Lily snickered together a bit, then went back to the task at hand.

"I have an idea. Why don't the four things I get for you, I don't show you until our honeymoon, and the four things you get, you don't show me until our honeymoon?" Rufus suggested.

Lily smiled. "Might be fun."

Rufus grinned. "The fun comes when you get to wear everything we pick out." He wriggled his eyebrows up and down suggestively.

Lily grinned. "Go on then, and let me shop in peace. I'm a size small."

Rufus didn't need to be told twice. He kissed her cheek, then took off in search of the sexiest outfits he could find.

The truth was, yes, Rufus wanted to be surprised (as much as it would kill him to wait to see Lily in her purchases), but the real reason for his little "surprise" idea was so that he could get Lily anything he wanted, and she'd have to wear it. She wouldn't see it before he bought it and prevent him from buying it.

He smiled to himself. He was going to be a very lucky man, if he had anything to do with it, which, of course, he did.

The first thing he found for Lily to wear, was a faux leather nightie that would barely cover Lily's bottom half. It tied around the back of her neck, and looked like it would fit her like a glove. It also looked like it would stop right at the top of her thighs. It laced all the way down the breast area to the navel area with wire-thin laces.

The next thing was a black sequined nylon/polyester/spandex "longline bra" as the sign called it. It was basically a bra that went down the length of a sports bra. It came with a pair of underwear in a boy shorts style. The underwear was black sequined except for two side panels that were mesh with a sequined strip down the front. The back of the underwear had a tiny peephole in the middle of the lower back. He also bought some black guarders and black mesh stockings to go with it.

Third, he bought a black lace teddy that almost looked like a swimsuit. It had cutouts on the side, and the breast area and bottom area were a solid black. The breasts area was to cover only the middle of her breasts to the bottom of them. The top of her breasts would be exposed. It would almost have her flashing him, but not quite. He wanted to be the one to do the big unveiling. He grinned at the thought, and bought another set of black sheer stockings and black guarders to go with that outfit.

Finally, he picked out a dress that latched around the neck like a collar. The "collar" attached to the rest of the dress in such a way that there was a huge, triangular-shaped hole write above the breasts. It was made out of thick black horizontal stripes and see-through mesh. The first black stripe, which started the rest of the dress, crossed over the middle of the breasts no that nothing that shouldn't be seen was seen. The rest of the stripes followed down every five inches or so, leaving rows of the see-through mesh in-between the stripes. It would be tight on her, and wrap around the middle of her thighs. It came with a mesh pair of underwear (lined in black) that was a triangle-shape in the front, and a G-string in the back. He bought a third set of black mesh guarders and stockings to go with that. He licked lips and moaned. He could hardly wait to see Lily in those! He realized he had gotten black in everything, but it didn't matter. All that mattered what that he was going to see Lily in those, and then take them off.

He grinned like the Cheshire cat, then got in line to pay for his wonderful purchases.

Ten minutes later, Rufus met back up with Lily.

They smiled at each other.

Lily held up a bag. "I got my picks, do you have yours?"

Rufus held up his bag with a grin. "I do, and I can hardly wait to see you in them." He raised his eyebrows up and down suggestively.

Lily smirked. "I can only imagine what you picked out for me."

"You'll love them! I know I will," Rufus said, still grinning like the Cheshire cat.

Lily shook her head, and rolled her eyes, but smiled nonetheless. "Come on, Sexy! Let's go home. We're supposed to have dinner with Charlie and Serena tonight."

"Any chance of you modeling one of those for me tonight after dinner?" Rufus asked, nodding toward her bag.

"You know it's going to be a surprise for the honeymoon, My Darling. You're just going to have to wait for it!" Lily said with a smile as she hailed them a cab.

Rufus groaned in disappointment. "Our honeymoon can't come soon enough!"

Lily smirked. "You'll survive," she said as she hopped into the back of the cab.

"I'm not sure I will," Rufus said, getting in after her.
