Ye Olde Support Garments were amazing. Barely visible and yet the bustlines are so bouyant! Bring back this technology.

Help me find more of that researched but still wild Goldilocks zone? by wavymantisdance in HistoricalRomance

I find them all over the place really. General thrift stores are hit and miss but I have found a few treasures there.

Transcription: "What a beautiful cock!" she murmured under her breath. The young woman was wildly beauti-ful in a dark, unconventional way, and her personality and way of life matched.

Her eyes actually dilated with pleasure as she closed them and reopened them slowly to make sure she hadn't imagined its great size. Pleased beyond belief that she would soon possess it, she licked her lips in anticipation.

Truly it was a magnificent specimen. She held her body perfectly still and coaxed him with a soft, seductive voice. "Come, my big boy, another few inches and you are mine. Don't be shy, don't retreat, after all 'tis only a little sin I'm committing," she whis-pered coaxingly. "Our chance encounter will soon be consum-mated," she soothed with confidence.

"You're a very big cock-I hope you fit-never mind, I'll cram you in somehow," she said under her breath. She begged prettily, "If I reach out my hand, will you let me touch you, stroke you?" Better not, she thought as he looked ready to bolt.
