There are three big holidays in the lingerie world: Valentine’s Day, Christmas, and Mother’s Day, in that order. Usually, Mother’s Day is the least of my concerns — I’m still struggling to get over the post-Valentines rush — but this year is different. Because this year, I have almost six times as many buyers than I’ve ever had before.
The last week leading up to the holiday is absolutely hectic. Orders are through the roof. I’m sending out last-minute shipments multiple times a day. Sifting through invoices. Fixing website problems and customer complaints. Running the Mother’s Day sale social media campaigns. Pink Pearl Silks have finally shipped my order of lace, so my production team have been working overtime to get back on schedule, and Josh sat down with me and managed to fix the issues with my email campaigns.
On top of that, I’ve had to get my application in for the Anna Bardet scholarship. I finally found the invitation email buried in my spam folder. I didn’t have enough time to come up with a whole set of new designs, so instead I submitted a few excerpts from my upcoming Butterfly collection. I seriously doubt that I’ll win the scholarship, but if I do, it’ll be great marketing.
What with everything going on, I can barely find enough time to record the episodes with the guys, let alone go on proper dates with them. We make it work, though. In the evenings, the boys drop in with some food, to check on me and force me to eat. Other times, they just sit with me, chatting, signing merch, doing their own thing. I always used to worry that when I started dating, my future boyfriend might get needy or annoyed when I dropped off the radar for work, but the guys understand. They know I’m not ignoring them on purpose. And when I need a break, they’re there for me, too.
My busy schedule has not gotten in the way of my ‘bedroom classes’, as Zack likes to call them. And now that all four of us are sleeping together, they’ve really become next-level. I think I’ve been screwed in every room in my flat. Last weekend, I blew Luke in the shower when he snuck in after my morning run. Later that day, Zack made me dinner, then laid me out on the kitchen table and ate me out for forty-five straight minutes for ‘dessert’.
On Thursday evening, they all take turns. Josh takes me first, laying me flat on the bed and pounding me hard and fast until we’re both coming hard. Then, before I can catch my breath, Zack takes over, spreading my legs wide apart and drilling into me mercilessly. When he comes, his release is so hard I swear I can feel his heat splashing inside me, coating my walls. Then, while I’m still squirming and dripping, Luke takes over, positioning his body over mine and screwing me like a piston, our eyes locked the whole time. I’m already so full that I’m squelching with every thrust, the come inside me frothing and dribbling out onto my thighs. When he finally spills inside me, my release is so strong I feel my vision black out for a few seconds. He pulls out gently, leaving me sore and gasping and absolutely overflowing with the boys’ cooling seed.
That night, I dream of what they did to me. I wake up hot and sweaty and sopping wet, and have to drag myself across the hall to their flat and wake them up for a repeat performance.
So, yeah. Between the eighteen-hour workdays, and getting systematically railed by my three fake boyfriends, I’m pretty busy. By the time Mother’s Day rolls around, it’s actually pretty anticlimactic. By Sunday, there’s nothing left for me to do. Everyone has already bought their gifts. Everything has been shipped. The few stragglers who forgot to get presents are frantically ordering gift cards online, but that just generates them an email code, so I don’t have to actually do anything. When I wake up on Sunday morning, I snuggle in bed and enjoy my newfound freedom for a whole thirty minutes.
Then I start to get antsy. I get up and clean my bathroom and kitchen. I rearrange my wardrobe into rainbow order, then decide it looks stupid, and reorganise it by clothing type. I draft three new email campaigns. I do all the pampering things I’ve been neglecting during the last week: painting my nails, shaving my legs, embalming myself in lotion like a dead pharaoh. I even go to the effort to curl my hair, and experiment with a glittery green smokey eye that looks so hideous I have to remove it immediately.
By evening, I’m just lying like a starfish on my bed, all soft and exfoliated and manicured, bored out of my skull. I check my phone over and over, but aside from a good-morning text from Zack, no one has messaged me at all today. I’ve been waiting for over a week to finally have some time off, and now that the day has come, I’m lying here watching the clock on my bedroom wall tick away the seconds.
