“This is quite a crowd,” said Sabrina to Sable and Julian as they eyed the potential shoppers filling the store. It was his new branch in Santa Fe, since Julian had chosen to move so she didn’t have to uproot the headquarters for the charitable trust. The plan was for Sabrina to go to Phoenix to manage the original store, and she seemed like she was strong enough for the task these days.
Sable was still worried about her, but tried not to let it show. She hadn’t even protested very much when Sabrina and Julian had worked out the plan. She understood Sabrina needed to test her regained independence. Though she worried about her working in the BDSM shop, which would bring her in contact with the lifestyle on a daily basis, she also understood her sister required that element to thrive. She had to let go and treat her like an adult rather than a little girl.

“I’d rather not wear a thong.” 
“Okay, then nothing it is.”
“Agreed, and that’s how you compromise.” Julian turned his head to kiss her, and it escalated. Sable had meant for it to be playful, but her desire rose, and she temporarily lost track of where they were.
