Free Insatiable by Ursula Dukes

because you two are adapting better and faster than I've seen any of my other friends and I'm glad of that. It makes me happy to see the two of you recovering so well. Emotionally and physically and I know that it's just a matter of time before the two of you are back on your feet and living the good, decent lives that you deserve."
    Rosie and Mari smiled. "We wouldn't be on the road to recovery if it weren’t for your kindness Aurora," Rosie beamed. "I know that this may sound sappy but you are the star that guided us home and I for one have never been more grateful. You saved our lives Aurora and we will never forget it."
    Tears welled up in her eyes and the three friends embraced once more.
    "Okay ladies, enough with the tears," Aurora teased. "It's time to get on with our day and take care of business. Now I know that I told you guys to take time for yourselves but I've got a pressing issue that I need your help with," she confided in them with seriousness.
    "Whatever you need Aurora," Mari and Rosie told her.
    "I'm glad the two of you said that because I've got a date tonight and nothing to wear. Who's up for a trip to the mall?" She grinned at them.
    "We are!" They chimed in. Aurora began to laugh when she saw the two of them reach for their purses and make way towards the car.
    Liam sat behind his desk and tried to focus on his work. It was no use though, because Aurora kept filling his mind. He couldn’t wait for his date with her and he hoped that she liked what he had planned. He'd planned to take her into Newport where he'd made reservations at Bowen’s wine bar and grille. And then afterward, well he'd leave that up to Aurora. It was early in the day when he decided to call it quits. After he told his assistant that he'd be leaving for the day, he took the long way home. As a top real estate broker, he could afford to take off a few hours early. The day was another gorgeous one and if it kept up, he'd take Aurora for a walk on the beach after dinner.
    "Should I get a pair of spanx?" Aurora asked Mari and Rosie. They had all gone into the fitting rooms to try on clothes. Aurora told them to have some fun trying on outfits. Even if they weren’t interested in buying anything and both women had agreed.
    "What the hell do you want to wear a girdle for?" Mari blurted out from behind the curtain.
    "Um maybe you haven’t noticed but I've got myself some serious dips and curves?" Aurora replied back. She was glad that no one else was in the fitting room with them.
    "Oh you mean you’re a woman and you have a figure?" Rosie said sarcastically.
    "She's right you know. You don’t need spanx, you don’t need a girdle. You have meat on your bones and there's nothing wrong with that. Besides, can you imagine how difficult of a time Liam will have if he's trying to peel a goddamn girdle off of you?" Mari teased.
    "You show off your curves Aurora, there's nothing wrong with loving the skin you're in. I've got curves, Rosie has curves. Shit we all have curves. I say embrace the curves girl and put on something sexy," Mari preached.
    "Sounds good to me," Aurora smiled as she turned around in the front of the full length mirror.
    Hours later they were back home and Aurora was getting ready for her date. She was sitting in front of the mirror curling her hair when Mari brought her a glass of wine.
    "Thought you might need this," she said and handed her the glass.
    "My god, you're not even dressed yet and already you look gorgeous."
    Aurora let out a smile. "Thanks, and thanks for the wine. I'm a little nervous," she said and swallowed a large gulp.
    "Don’t be, you're going to have a wonderful time. Now get dressed so we can see the finished product."
    "Okay, okay," Aurora said and quickly spritzed her hair with some hairspray.
    "Good, we'll be downstairs waiting," she said and closed the door.
    Aurora slipped off her robe and slid into her dress. The royal blue seductive dress made from stretch jersey hugged, smoothed, and
