As Rachel entered the mall, her mind started to wander. This was not unusual - many of her friends could and often did testify that Rachel was a complete scatterbrain, and would often lapse into silent stares in the middle of actual conversations. So, it was not with too much surprise that she shook herself aware to see a lingerie store in front of her, without having any recollection of how it got there.
Rachel took a second look at the lingerie store. It wasn't Satins and Silks, where she went whenever she needed underwear - it was a racier place called Chain and Whip. For some reason, though, Rachel liked the look of it. She strode in with a confident strut, cast an appraising eye over the other people in the place, and decided she fit there. She started looking for lingerie.
There was heavy metal playing on the store loudspeakers, and different party lights flashed and shone across the whole store from the back wall. Everything was painted black or red, and there were unfamiliar symbols everywhere; on many of the clothes Rachel found graphic, exceedingly well-done sex scenes and/or hallucinations. She liked some of them quite a lot, and wished she could buy them - but she didn't have enough money.
'You would have enough money if you robbed the place', she said in her head, and her hand massaged her crotch. Then she let go abruptly, alarmed - but just slightly - that she should think so seriously of such a thing. Feeling slightly mistrustful and nervous, Rachel picked out a D-cup and DD-cup bra, and took them to the changing room in back. After trying them both on, she decided that the DD fit best, and brought it up to the counter after draping the D bra over the clothes rack.
'That's impossible!' A voice in her head exclaimed, but it was a tiny, faint voice, and easy for Rachel to ignore. Right now she was focused on the cashier.
He looked about her age, with pierced ears and nose, and rugged but excellent taste in clothes. There was a keen intelligence in his eyes, as well as an overarching scorn for everything outside the shop, and many things within as well.
Rachel decided she wanted him.
