After the spa treatment, Raquel led us into a boutique that looked both upscale and expensive. I had expected more of a local vibe, but as my eyes roamed over the displays, everything screamed luxury. 

“Shopping time!” Raquel burst out in a bright, musical tone, practically singing as she skipped ahead toward the entrance. 

I shook my head, unable to hold back my laugh. “It is, and I’ll be paying,” I threw in casually. 

Raquel scoffed. “Hell no! I initiated this, so I’m paying. Besides, if I max out, I’ll just call my man.” 

I smirked and reached into my purse, pulling out a sleek black card. “I think there will be no need,” I held it up between my fingers. Gabriel asked us to splurge.

Raquel’s eyes widened as if I’d just pulled a diamond necklace out of my bag. “Holy shit.” She blinked, then leaned in, inspecting it like it might vanish. “That’s awesome! But hold up–no man gives a woman who isn’t his girlfriend or wife his card.” Her gaze fixed on mine, curious “So, little miss, there’s something you’re not telling 

me.” 

I huffed a laugh and tucked the card away. “Come on, Raquel, can we shop? That’s what we’re here to do, 

isn’t it?” 

Her expression turned smug. “Absolutely.” Then, as we stepped inside, she added under her breath, “But we’re not done talking about this.”

We were greeted by smiling sales ladies, and before I could escape further questioning, Raquel grabbed my wrist. “We have to use that card. Especially to get you all the nice things we can find.” 

We moved between the racks, picking out dresses and shoes, and I pointed to several that would look great on Raquel. She tried them on, and as expected, they fit like a dream. Then, she held up a daring gown and wiggled her brows. “Your turn.” 

I eyed the dress. It was sexy–tight, short, and barely–there. It was like something a seductress would wear. No matter how bold I had been in the past, this was on a different level. 

“I don’t know if I can…” I hesitated, already knowing Raquel wouldn’t let me off the hook. 

She smirked. “Oh, you can and you will.” 

Before I could protest, she was pushing me into the dressing room. 

Minutes later, I stepped in front of the mirror and gasped. my fingers tracing the sheer, nude–colored fabric. It blended into my skin so perfectly that it almost looked like I was wearing nothing. My breasts were practically exposed, my nipples faintly visible. The dress clung to my body, showing off every curve. The back dipped scandalously low, and my legs were on full display. 

Raquel, however, was grinning like she’d just won the lottery. “Oh, there’s definitely a way.” She folded her arms, smirking. “When Gabriel sees you in this, he’ll lose his freaking mind. And that’s exactly what we want.” 

I turned to her, panicked. “I don’t think I can wear this. My nipples are out. It’s scandalous! And I don’t even have anywhere to wear it.” 

Raquel’s expression darkened with amusement. “Oh, we do. Sergio and I are heading to one of the biggest clubs tonight. My friend is hosting, so you and Gabriel are coming. No arguments.”

Before I could finish, Raquel pulled out her phone. “I’ll call Sergio right now and have him talk to Gabrie 

Fear shot through me. The last thing I needed was Raquel calling Sergio while he was in the middle of planning and accidentally overhearing something she wasn’t supposed to. 

I quickly grabbed her hand. “There’s no need. We’ll come.” 

Raquel squealed, clapping her hands in delight. “Oh, tonight is going to be so good–especially with you this dress.” 

Once we finished picking out more dresses, we wandered into a private section of the boutique where a woman was discreetly introducing sex toys. The atmosphere was hushed, almost secretive. 

A saleswoman approached us, her voice low and confidential. “Tourists love these collections,” she introduced, gesturing toward a row of whips, vibrators, and other intimate items. “They add a little… spice to a vacation.” 

I leaned toward Raquel, lowering my voice. “I don’t know if we’ll be interested…” I muttered, giving her a look, silently begging her to move along. 

But, of course, she had other plans. 

“No, no, I actually think we should check it out.” She grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer. 

The saleswoman’s smile widened as if she had just found her ideal customer.

“This is actually great that we stumbled into this section,” Raquel gushed, picking up a leather whip and running her fingers over it. I’ve been thinking of switching things up with Sergio in the bedroom.

“He’s kind of old school, but I, on the other hand, am adventurous…” She gave the whip a light snap against her palm. 

I chuckled nervously. “Whatever makes you both happy…” My eyes scanned over the different toys, and a thought crept into my mind–Would Gabriel be into things like this? Roleplay? 

I had spent most of my vacation reading about sex and how to please a man, but I hadn’t really explored this side of intimacy. And with how possessive Gabriel could be, I could definitely see him being dominant… 

Raquel must’ve read my expression because she smirked. “Ohhh, now you’re curious.” 

I rolled my eyes, desperate to change the subject. “Has the age difference between you and Sergio ever been an issue?” 

Raquel scoffed. “Hell no. I’ve never cared about a man being older. It’s about how he treats me, not how many birthdays he’s had.” 

I nodded slowly, running my fingers over a lace corset. “That’s a good way to look at it.” 

She tilted her head. “Are you worried about people judging you if you and Gabriel ever became serious?” 

I stiffened. “I… I don’t know. I never thought that far ahead.” I swallowed hard, feigning indifference. “Besides, Gabriel doesn’t seem like the type to want something public.” 

Raquel leaned against a nearby shelf, crossing her arms. “Listen, Clairessa, if you like that man and he likes you, then screw what people think. When I was in my twenties, guys my age just wanted to party and sleep around. Now? I’ve found a man who wants more than just my body. And he makes me happy. No regrets.”

“To our happiness,” I murmured, raising an imaginary toast.
