Lauren was like a child, squeezing his hand from time to time as she waited impatiently for the doctor to call them in. Eventually she began picking at her already barely there nails and he quickly stopped her by grabbing her hand in his.

"Hey, hey." He said, kissing her hand lightly. "It's gonna be fine, love." She smiled as he kept her hand in his, stopping her from continuing her incessant picking. They sat for a while longer before being called in, Lauren nearly jumping when she heard her name. With a hand at her back he led her in, knowing how nervous she was.

"Let's stay in town for a while." Lauren said once they were back in the car.

The doctor had explained that there was nothing wrong and calmed Lauren's constantly worrying mind. He said if it helped he'd run some extra tests even though he was sure she was a very health woman. She wanted to take the tests anyway, and he promised her results by the weekend.

Doyle cast a glance at her from the driver's seat and she smiled at him.

"Declan will be fine with Louise for a few more hours." She assured him, trailing a hand down his arm. He cracked a small smile, asking where she wanted to go. They didn't go into town that often. Lauren preferred the quiet of the villa grounds personally but it was nice to get out every once in a while. As her stomach growled she suggested they get something to eat before doing anything and quickly decided on a small cafe. Ian wasn't particularly hungry so he just ordered a salad, laughing at Lauren's appetite. For such a petit woman she could eat quite a lot.

"Anywhere else you'd like to go while we're here?" He asked as they walked down the street together. He had an arm around her waist tightly, keeping her close. He believed the life he lived had left him paranoid. He knew what kind of men there were in this world, men like him.

"Well, I wouldn't mind buying some clothes." She remarked with a dazzling smile, knowing he wasn't one to deny her. With a sigh he let her pull him into a few small boutique's along the road. She didn't buy much, just a few shirts, a few pair of pants. He wasn't exactly bored but he did wish to go home soon. He stopped suddenly and she nearly tripped, looking to see why he'd stopped. He gave her a rather immature grin before they found themselves in the lingerie store.

"I assume you want me to try something on?" She taunted, he didn't say anything as she grabbed a few things.

He sat outside the dressing room, waiting to see what exactly she'd grabbed off the rack. He'd seen some rather scandalous attire as they ventured through the place and he waved off the store employee as nicely as he could before Lauren was pulling the curtain open. He was fairly sure his jaw dropped when his eyes trailed down her frame. The top was a lace up corset that dipped low, her ample cleavage nearly spilling out of it. It was bright red, the perfect color against her creamy skin. She wore a matching red thong and a pair of thigh high fishnet tights.

"Like what you see?" She asked, a somewhat sensual look on her face, trailing a finger along the lace. He took a quick glance around, smirking when he say what seemed to be the only working employee beginning to argue with a customer. He stood up quickly before pushing Lauren back into the dressing room, pulling the curtain closed behind them as he kissed her, their hands intertwined as he pushed one against the wall above her head. She was giggling, and he continually had to shush her. They did have to take into account that they were in a public place. The thought was just making her grow increasing hot as Ian fumbled to pull her top apart. The store didn't seem busy at all, with only one worker that they'd seen so the odds were seemingly in their favor. It's not like he was going to take her in a dressing room, although he surely wanted to. That would be a little too risky, he concluded as he slipped a finger under the flimsy fabric of her thong.

"Aren't you glad we stayed in town?" She whispered huskily before she felt two wide digits push into tight heat. She bit her lip, trying to keep quiet as Ian licked over her taut nipple.

"I'm ecstatic that we stayed in town." He replied quickly, kissing her to suppress her moans as he quickened the speed of his fingers, his palm brushing against her clit with every inward pass. She let out an incoherent sound against his mouth as he added a third finger, knowing she was close as he pumped his fingers, pressing the palm of his hand down on her bundle of nerves as she let go, coming all over his hand with a moan. He licked his fingers clean, smirking before telling her to get dressed.

"Are we getting the outfit?" She asked as they walked out of the dressing room.

"Are you even asking that question?" He asked her as he put the the outfit down on the counter to pay. After that they headed back out the villa, Ian being in a much better mood after their little romp in the lingerie shop.

When they got in, Louise had already made supper and they'd sat down at the table to eat. Declan came down during their meal.

"Hi sweetie." Lauren said, kissing him lightly on the cheek. He giggled, hugging her before asking what they did today. They said they went to the doctor and then went shopping, Declan obviously not understanding the glances exchanged between them upon hearing the word shopping. Lauren promised him she'd read him his bedtime story before the boy headed back upstairs.
