She lifted a brow at me, a smile tugging on her lips. “What did you have in mind?”
I pointed to a store across the street, a sex shop that not too many people would have pegged. “I’ll buy you an early Christmas present.”
Her mouth dropped, but she didn’t deny it. In fact, she took my hand and dragged me across the street.
“I’ve never been in one,” she breathed. And I was glad I didn’t either.
“I’ve seen them, shopped online, but never been in one either. Guess we can both pop our ‘sex store shopping’ cherry.”
She rolled her eyes at me, but she couldn’t hide the laugh.
“I want you to look at whatever interests you. Anything you want to try, or think might be fun, put it in the basket.”
“Are you sure, Josh? I mean, this could be a whole new field for me, for us?”
I walked up behind her, setting my hand on her hip, and breathed her in.
“Yes, Kelly, I’m sure. I want you to be happy, satisfied, and try new things while you teach me a thing or two. That’s not a bad thing, you know.”
“Why do I get the feeling that the one teaching is more you than me.”
I watched as she browsed through the items, clocking the ones she lingered on more. Like the dual vibrator, which was something I found interesting. She also seemed to like the edible underwear, and I could admit, I wanted to try that too. So, I put that in my cart, along with the vibrator, some silk ties, and a soft paddle.
I wasn’t sure if she’d go for that quite yet, but I had a feeling I could ease her into that.
“Oh, this looks fun.”
She held up a package of dice and after reading it, I tossed it in my cart as well. She eyed it, her mouth dropping open slightly before she looked up at me.
“I plan on having you show me just how much of a bad boy I’ve been, Kelly.”
Her cheeks tinged, her lips smirked, but it was her eyes that showed me she had no problem with it.
“I thought I was the bad girl here,” she teased.
“You are, no doubt. But even bad girls need to be punished. And I’m pretty sure they are good at giving out punishment.”
“Josh,” she said, grabbing something I didn’t see and slipping it into her own cart, “you’re one naughty man, and I think I like it. Let’s go, we’re done shopping for the day.”
Chapter 8
Kelly
Igroaned as I climbed into my car and headed home.
Today had been the day from hell, dealing with clients and their bullshit, especially with holiday orders, and I was over it.
Getting into my pjs, ordering Chinese, and curling up to Josh while watching sappier, holiday movies sounded like the perfect way to end this day.
Maybe this was part of the reason I disliked the holidays.
Don’t get me wrong, being with my friend and family, and spoiling them, was amazing. And I loved the cooking, the festivetimes, and the lights. But people, when you were in retail, were always so much meaner around this time and it sucked.
There were also a pro and a con to being the manager of a department store; dealing with the biddys and the dickheads all day long was one major con.
“A bath also sounds really good. Maybe I can convince Josh to do all the other stuff while I take a long soak. He’s always good about spoiling me.”
I headed to your place, about ready to appeal to his better side when I opened the door, and my mouth dropped open in shock.
