Whenever we had time on our hands during the middle of the workday, Reiner would always take me out for lunch. As a result of that, I believed that I have gained some weight from all the cafes that he took me to after our meal as well. Reiner seemed very content to spoil me, so I let him do what he wanted even if it came at the expense of my thickening waist.
“I should exercise more…” I mumbled softly to myself as I walked by his side.
“You should,” Reiner replied quickly in agreement.
Oh, he heard me. How embarrassing. I should stop speaking out loud when I’m simply just talking to myself.
“Maybe we can skip out on the cake today?” I suggested as an alternative.
“Sure. Want to walk around a bit?” Reiner proposed as he started pulling on my hand.
Window shopping was fun. The malls and boutiques here on the island were smaller than those in the big city but the selection of product was more unique. Apparently, people living on this island were very wealthy and I wasn’t surprised as to why that was so. As a result, there were endless supplies of brand name and luxury product that rivaled that of leading upscale malls and galleries in the big city.
We walked passed a wedding boutique that had many extravagant wedding dresses on display. The dresses were very princess-like but I thought that they looked quite over the top in terms of complexity and size. I had to say that the sequins and crystals that decorated the dress sparkled very nicely, though. Perhaps this dress in a slightly more conservative cutting would look more impressive, chic, and modern.
“Should we stop by?” Reiner asked from next to me.
He probably saw me checking out the dresses. We were married now so what’s the point of stopping by a wedding boutique. His thought sounded funny to me.
“No. There’s no reason to…” I replied before turning to smile sweetly at him.
“Are you sure?” he asked.
“Of course. Why wouldn’t I be? We’re married now, don’t you think it’s weird for us to visit a wedding boutique?” I asked before laughing at him.
I firmly pulled on his hand for him to follow me away from the wedding boutique. Time was running out fast and soon we would need to head back to the office to start working in the afternoon. Reiner seemed deep in thought while we walked back to the office, and I wondered what he was thinking.
“Is everything ok?” I asked curiously.
My question seemed to snap Reiner out of his thought, and he turned to smile at me before he told me that everything was fine. I cocked my head in wonder before I decided not to press him any further. Hopefully from our conversation a few weeks ago, Reiner would tell me about the things that were bother him.
…
“Do you think this dress would work?” I asked as I pressed up a bright pink dress against my body.
The day of Reiner’s friend wedding had arrived, and I was struggling to decide on which dress to wear. Of course, it wasn’t my wedding so I wasn’t going to be the center of attention, but it was still the first time that he would introduce me to his friends, so I wanted to look at least decent. It felt like this was my first formal introduction to people in his world and circle, so I counted that as a very important step that I had to get right no matter what.
“Any dress is fine. You look good in all of them,” Reiner said as he continued dressing himself up.
Men truly had it easy when it came to these events unlike us ladies. I put down the dress in my hand before holding up another one up against my body. Staring at the red lacy dress against my frame in the mirror, made me realize that this one was probably better. It made me look more mature and would hug my curves sensually.
“What about this one?” I asked as I turned around to show Reiner.
“It’s perfect, Natalia. Put on a dress please, we have to leave soon, and I can’t have you strutting out there in nothing but your underwear,” Reiner said teasingly before he laughed softly at me.
“Ok…this one it is then,” I said before I started slipping on the dress.
“Let me help you with that,” Reine readily offered as he turned me around so that I had his back to him.
His fingers expertly zipped up my dress for me before our eyes met in the mirror. He smiled at me, and I found myself returning his smile as we continued to gaze deeply into each other’s eyes. The dress felt perfect on me, and it gave me a lot of confidence. Adding some matching red lipstick would probably complete the look outstandingly. I was wrapped up in my thoughts, so I didn’t notice Reiner coming closer to me until I felt his arms wrapping around my waist and then the warmth of his lips on my neck as he began kissing it tenderly.
“R…” I murmured in warning.
“Hmm…?” Reiner made in innocent questioning sound as his lips continued to nip and then suck at the side of my neck.
He’s going to leave a mark at this rate. Thankfully we were still home, and I had a bunch of concealers to deal with that if required.
“We’re going to be late…” I warned again.
“You look very delicious in red…” Reiner whispered seductively into my ear as his hands travelled to pump my breasts.
“Ahh…R…” I moaned before I bit on my lower lip to stifled them.
“Don’t moan like that. You’re making it harder for me to stop…” Reiner teased before he chuckled softly close to my ear.
“We should go now. I don’t want to be late,” I protested again.
First impression does matter, and I didn’t want us to be late. Reiner sighed a little before he let go of me and stood up straight again.
