wad of cash in her handbag. The last one he took was of her
going into the back entrance of KISS.
"She's got some racket going on here," he said aloud.
He reviewed the pictures he had taken. First, there was
that man and woman he had seen earlier. The girl had a
fanny he'd love to get his hands on ... and now the blonde.
He couldn't wait for George O'Reilly to see these
photographs. George told him there'd be a nice, fat bonus.
Jared Martin and MegaMart could well afford to pay what they
promised. After all, that's who George O'Reilly received orders
from the big guns himself the president and CEO of
MegaMart Jared Martin.
The man tucked the camera into his pocket and drove out
of the back of the parking lot, pleased with his day's work...

Knowing George O'Reilly, Jared Martin's personal assistant,
had ten thousand dollars waiting for him.

Kat hurried down the hallway toward her office. She
deposited her bag and keys on the desk, clutching the wad of
cash from Bill Chapman. Opening the small safe near her
desk, she placed the money inside and locked it. Bill shouldn't
have given her the money, that's not why she had helped
April. Wheels turned in her head. All that money could
certainly help someone else, and Kat would make sure it did.
After locking the safe, she strode into her workroom down the
hall. She opened the door and walked over to the closet on
the far side, taking a deep coral-colored dress with a
matching jacket off its hangar. The sexy, body-hugging style
of the dress with its ruched center would highlight her curves.
The dress swirled down, stopping just above her knees. She
thought for a few seconds, a slow smile lighting her face. The
coral-colored corset, garter belt and matching thong. They
would look stunning with that dress and show off her figure!
Kat glanced at the shoe collection in the corner of the
workroom. There she spotted the perfect pair of pumps
'corset side' stiletto heels. The sexy pumps had a swatch of
leather on the side of each shoe, with satin ties that reached
around the ankle. Kat picked up the shoes and outfit. She
strode to the dressing room where she deposited them, then
walked out to the front of KISS and retrieved the corset,
garter belt, a thong, and a pair of pure silk stockings. Shivers
ran up her spine a combination of excitement and ... fear.

KISS
by Catherine Chernow
Running her hands over the stays in the corset, she imagined
Jared doing the same thing...
To her.
She shut her eyes for a moment and imagined his long
fingers gliding over the stays. When they made love, he'd
unlace the back of the corset slowly, driving her wild with
anticipation of what he'd do next. She imagined him slipping
the corset from her torso, his hands sliding around her back.
He'd reach up and cup her breasts. Kat trembled in response
to the thoughts swirling through her mind.
She hurried to the dressing room, stripped out of her
clothes, and gazed at her body in the mirror. It had been two
long years since she'd thought of actually being with another
man. Now, she was actually thinking of seducing one.
"For Summerville," she said aloud, her voice echoing
through the dressing room.
Kat slipped into the thong-style panty then grabbed the
garter belt, shimmying it up her legs and hips. Next, she took
the stockings from their package and placed the toe over her
hand to examine them for any flaws. Nothing marred their
silky perfection. She sat down on the bench against the far
wall and pulled each stocking over her toes and feet, up her
calves, then attached them to the garters dangling at the end
of the satin and lace belt. She stepped into the 'corset shoes,'
then bent down to draw the laces through the swatch of
material around her ankles.
Rising to her feet, she assessed her appearance in the
mirror once more.

She sucked in a breath as she gazed at her body. Kat ran a
finger along the edge of the garter belt outlining her trim
waist and hips. The silvery shoes complemented the coral-
colored garter belt and thong making her feet appear
delicate, feminine...
Sexy.
Damn! Could she do this? The first seeds of doubt began
to take root but Kat pushed them down. She had started this
... she'd have to see it through.
Jared Martin didn't stand a chance in hell of resisting.
Kat walked over to the other side of the dressing room and
grabbed the corset. She unlaced the back and drew it around
her breasts and torso, then stopped. How would she lace it?
Kat glanced at her watch. Six-thirty p.m. Jared would be here
in a half an hour...
Holding the corset to her body with her right forearm, she
used her left hand and fumbled with the ties in the back. She
managed to draw the laces through two hooks to secure it
and keep the corset from slipping from her body.
She heard the buzzer in the front of KISS sound an alarm.
Oh no! Jared was here already?
Someone pounded on the front door. Kat heard the rattle
of the doorknob then they pounded on the door again. She
looked around the small dressing room and saw a robe
hanging on the back of the door.
Thank God for small favors. She let go of her pent up
breath and shoved her arms into the sleeves of the robe. Kat
drew the belt across her waist and tied it as she strode from
the dressing room to the front of KISS. As she neared the

front door, she could make out a woman's shape through the
slats in the blinds covering the glass pane.
"Kat! Are you in there? It's Lilith."
Kat opened the door and dragged Lilith inside.
"What on earth " Lilith's eyes grew wide as they traveled
up from the tips of the 'corset shoes' Kat wore, to the
stockings on her legs, finally settling on the outline of the
corset beneath the robe.
