“What if he walked in on me?”
“Ask him to join in. But maybe wait five days, huh?”
That was oddly specific.
“I’m just not sure I could use these in someone else’s house. It doesn’t feel right.”
“Keep’em anyway. I reckon you’ll get bored enough to give them a go. I also got you a really big box of batteries from Walmart too. Oh, and these antibacterial wipes. Always clean your sex toys after every use. Very important. You don’t want any infections.”
Right. No wonder the clerk gave her a strange look. Big box of batteries. Big bottle of frosted cupcake lube. Anti-bacterial wipes.
Georgina knew her cheeks were really red by now.
“Now, what else did I bring you? It wasn’t just sex toys. Oh, here you are. Some magazines with half-naked men featured in them.” She dragged out several magazines.
“You got these from Walmart too, huh?”
She felt faint. Seriously. Could her face grow any hotter?
“Yep. I also bought you some sanitary products. Didn’t know when you were due for your red demon, but I figured this way you didn’t have to ask Ed to get them for you. Might be a bit embarrassing.”
More embarrassing than using sex toys in his house?
“Also got you some pain killers, a heat pad, and some chocolate.”
Everything was now laid out on the counter.
“Kiesha, this is really kind of you.”
Kiesha just shrugged. “What sort of bestie would I be if I didn’t supply you with sex toys, lube, and tampons?”
Georgina couldn’t help it, she started to giggle. Kiesha stared at her for a long moment. “What’s so funny?”
“Nothing. I’ve just never had a friend. And I think I really lucked out finding you.”
Kiesha smiled. “You haven’t seen the best thing yet! Cupcakes! The real one’s not flavored lube.”
“Ooh.” Georgina clapped her hands as Kiesha produced a small box of sugary, iced goodness.
“Ed never has anything good in the house.” Kiesha opened the box and Georgina took one, setting it on the counter. “How are you supposed to recover while eating healthy food?”
Her phone started ringing and she sighed, setting the cupcake down. “I better go get that.”
She was walking down the passage to the bedroom to grab her phone when the front door opened. Her heart stopped for a second. Then Ed walked in and shut the door. His gaze pierced hers. “Where is she?” he grumbled as he took off his boots.
“Um, who?” she asked lamely.
He pointed at her. “No lying. I know she’s here. Her scooter is out front. Which she’s also in trouble for riding on in this weather. Kiesha!”
“Oh shit!” They heard from the kitchen.
Then Georgina remembered the plethora of sex toys laid out on the counter. Turning, she tried to run down the passage but gasped in pain as her foot protested.
Suddenly, she was swept off her feet and pressed against a heavily muscled chest.
Oh fudgsicles!
“Ed, could you take me to get my phone?” she asked desperately, hoping Kiesha would pack up all the toys before he saw them. But this was Kiesha, who knew what she would do?
