If someone had asked Serenica an hour earlier where she would see herself at sunset, it would not have been in Mariana Kinley's manor watching her undress.
Kinley was firm in every imaginable way, including her body. Serenica tried to be shy and look away, but that would only have solidified the woman's power over her. Kinley looked good. She knew how to take off every undergarment on her own, and even though Helen offered to help, it seemed to be mostly about showing off the power Kinley had over others. Serenica took the dress and the corset on her arms and thanked her maker for not letting her blush easily. Kinley was nearly naked very soon, she took back her goblet and looked through her green curtains towards the setting sun.
"Oh, and it is not raining, either. That is very nice. I am going to need every measurement imaginable. I want my corsets and undershirts to match."
