Really, I don’t.” Desire looked around to see if anyone was watching them.
    “Of course it is. As our lover you deserve pretty things. This would look lovely against your pale skin and those black lace panties I saw in your suitcase.” Elliot smiled at her.
    Desire felt her face heat with embarrassment. How could they do this to her in public? Didn’t they realize people would talk?
    “Hey, baby. What’s wrong?” Clay asked, handing the garter belt to Elliot.
    “Don’t you realize that people will assume we’re seeing each other if you buy something intimate like that?”
    “What’s the big deal?” Elliot asked. “Are you ashamed of us?”

Chapter Eleven

    “No! No, I’m not ashamed of either of you. But I’m supposed to be your assistant, not your, your whatever this is between us.”
    “Relationship? We have a relationship, Desire. As far as the town knows, you’re our girlfriend. That’s how we think of you, anyway. Obviously we need to work on you if you don’t know that,” Elliot said.
    “If I help you design your house and I’m your girlfriend, they are all going to get the idea that we’re more to each other and that might hurt your parents.”
    “Don’t worry about our parents. They know the truth about us. Just relax and be yourself. Enjoy being here with us. Don’t let worry about what others think screw up a perfectly good time away from the office,” Clay told her.
    “If you’re sure your parents won’t be upset when nothing comes of this.”
    “Like Clay said,” Elliot began, “Mom and the dads know what to expect.”
    Desire sighed and nodded her head. “Okay. But you really don’t have to buy me anything.”
    “I know,” Clay said. “But I want to.” He took the pale pink garter and added a pair of black stockings with a pink bow at the ankle and carried them to the cash register.
    When Desire approached, she realized the woman wore a collar with a leash attached to it. It was being held by a dark-haired man with tattoos and a leather vest sitting behind her. He grinned and stood up to shake Clay’s and Elliot’s hands.
    “Man, it’s good to see you two here again. Everyone has missed you two.”
    “What has Missy done to deserve the leash this time?” Elliot asked with a chuckle.
    “Missy?”
    “I went with Sandy to the male strip club over in Carlton Saturday night.”
    “Do Sandy’s husbands know about that little trip?” Clay asked, rubbing his hands together.
    “Sorry, they know,” the man said. “Don’t know what her punishment was.”
    “I’ll find out,” Clay assured him.
    “Oh, you’re getting the garters and stockings!” Missy exclaimed. “They are my favorites. I picked them out.”
    “They are pretty,” Desire said with a strained smile.
    Clay pulled out his wallet and paid Missy, accepting his change in return. The young woman carefully wrapped up their purchase and placed it in a plain brown bag. It even said “plain brown bag” on the outside. She rolled her eyes at that.
    “Let me guess. That’s the name of your store,” she surmised.
    “That’s right.” Missy smiled at her. “Hope to see you around.”
    “Oh, Elliot. I almost forgot. I delivered that package to your room this morning. It’s in the drawer.” She winked at Desire, giving her a bad feeling.
    She turned a stern face to Elliot, but he gave her an innocent smile. She was sure he was up to something. Whatever this store had packaged for him would be something she wasn’t going to be happy about. She was sure of it.
    “We better go now,” Elliot said.
    “Right, we want to show you the land before it gets dark,” Clay added.
    They walked back to the truck where Clay helped her in this time and Elliot drove. They wound their way through town and then outside of town about five miles. Then they began to climb a small mountain where there were lush trees and green vines everywhere. As they leveled off, she could see where an area had been cut into the
