“Oh, Uh” Now he turned around to face me, his arms resting across his lap. “She’s…..” He let out a huff of air, I could see his shoulders fall. “She was supposed to come over but It looks like it’s not happening.” He sounded hurt and a little embarrassed.
I knew they had an odd relationship, Lela was a bit like our mother in the fact that she is incredibly devout so she refused to sleep with Henry until they were married. Of course I thought it was a lie and they were just saying that to cover up for them fucking like newlyweds whenever they had the chance. “Wait…really?” Disbelief is not a strong enough word as he nodded.
Henry was a 6 ‘4, well built and handsome man, He kept his black hair short on the sides which was all the rage now. He always had a nice stubble, never quite a full beard and chiseled features. The thought that this man, had been without sex since he started dating Lela a year ago was…..honestly depressing.
He chuckled and stood up, walking around the bed to me. “Listen, don’t tell anyone alright?” He was sincere and I was in no place to step between him and his fiance. “Of course I wont…..Henry…Are you okay?” I was concerned for my brother, he had been the only real constant source of kindness in my life.
“Yeah I’ll be fine” He turned away from me and I could hear what he thought, but couldn’t say out loud. ‘After another night Jerking off’ Now I felt bad, He was pent up and frustrated. He had been taking care of himself since he started dating Lela. “The sales tomorrow right?” A thought entered my mind, A plan to help him and maybe help myself.
“The jewel sale? Yeah It’s tomorrow, Why?” I never asked about the store, so he knew something was up. “No reason, I was just thinking I would check it out.” A simple enough explanation, I knew Mom wouldn’t be there and It would give me a chance to help Henry.
“You want to? Sure, I’ll pick you up around noon?” He was surprised by my interest and seemed genuinely thrilled I was showing an interest in the family business. “Sure, I’ll be waiting” I popped up on my toes and kissed his cheek. “Thanks Henry….for everything” I gave him a smile and left, walking to my room and closing the door.

The next day I picked out something that looked nice, but could be taken off and put back on in a hurry. If the day was going to work out like I hoped, It would need to be attractive but also easy to slip. I settled on a button up, purple blouse tucked into a form fitting, knee length black skirt. Of course I left a few buttons undone to show off my cleavage, Henry gave me a whistle as I walked around his pickup to the passenger’s seat. “Looking professional Cammy” He smiled as we pulled out of the driveway. “Thanks!” I cheerfully beamed at him.
The store was packed, people from all over had come to take part in the Auction of the lady’s jewelry, apparently she had quite a few pieces that were well known and very desirable to a lot of people. There were so many images and thoughts about the jewelry I was becoming a fan of the pieces myself, However everyone seemed to have their eyes set on one piece in particular. A ruby and jade necklace, it didn’t look all that appealing to me and too gaudy to wear to anything besides a formal event.
We passed the stage and went straight into the back, entering into the Employees lounge which had been repurposed as a safe room. The Jewels being sold off had been kept at a bank until today, Now they were all locked in individual glass display boxes and carefully hidden within the store. There were added security cameras to ensure they would remain where they were, which did slightly alter my plans. Henry let go of my hand and walked towards one of the boxes, I could hear his mind revel in the beauty of the piece he was looking at, a gold and sapphire tiara. Looking around the repurposed employees lounge, I scouted out where I wanted this to happen.
Luckily for me a series of curtains had been set up to block the storeroom from the rest of the employees lounge and it looked like the cameras didn’t go past the lounge. Of course we wouldn’t have to worry about the noise, The crowd outside along with the Auctioneer would provide plenty of sound to drown us out. “Cammy?” Henry turned my attention to him as I was looking into the dimly lit storeroom past the curtains.
“Yeah? Sorry I was just….looking” I smiled and stepped up beside him, Looking at the Tiara I frowned. “Seems like a bit much for something that looks like a child’s toy doesn’t it?” Henry laughed.
“Yes it is, but you’re not paying for the Jewelry. You are paying for the history attached to the Jewelry.” He went on to explain how this tiara once belonged to a noble woman who lived a long time ago. We heard the mic out on the stage turn on and my fathers voice.
“Hello? Is this thing on?” He chuckled. “I would just like to thank everyone for coming today, We have some great pieces to show you so please bid as much or as little as you like.” Then the Auctioneer took over, A young man came into the safe room and was initially surprised to see the pair of us. Henry recognized him and reassured him that everything was fine, we stepped back and the man took the tiara out first.
“Bidding starts at 10 thousand dollars…..Do I hear 10 thousand?” And the auction had begun. Henry looked surprisingly anxious….he had as much riding on this going well as dad so I guess it wasn’t that surprising. |
I slowly walked around the safe room, not really paying any mind to the Jewels or the auction. Henry was watching the cameras as the Auctioneer announced a bid of 40 thousand for the tiara. I kept a close eye on him and when I had the chance, I stepped past the curtain and into the dimly lit storeroom.
Immediately I almost stumbled over a box, My eyesight had not adjusted to the lack of light just yet. This was perfect. The lighting was dim so it would be kind of hard to see at first but once our eyes adjusted it should be fine. My chest was fluttering, Adrenaline was pumping through my veins, Now for the next step. My hands went to my waist and I pulled down the zipper keeping my skirt on and tugged it down my legs. Making sure I knew where it was, I slowly unbuttoned my shirt.
I had chosen not to wear a bra, so exposing my chest to the warm air in the storehouse was exhilarating. Especially knowing Henry was no more than 10 feet away from me. I tousled my hair, making sure it looked exactly how it did in his fantasy. It fell onto my shoulders, framing my face in the dim light. Standing there in nothing but a newly bought g-string, a purchase on Henry’s dime that I’m sure he would enjoy. I took a breath and waited, My nerves were up. This must be what Danny felt like on the beach, a mess of anticipation and apprehension.
“H-Henry?” I called out from behind the curtain, I heard him move. “Yeah…..Cammy?” He started to search for me and I knew it wouldn’t take long for him to look behind the curtain, I could feel my heart beating against my ribcage.
