Amy shrugged. “Yes… my ‘not-girlfriend’ as you called her once is really into that sort of thing. She likes to be the one tyingsomeone up using toys. And…” Amy caught herself just in time, remembering her promise to Sarah not to tell anyone about how their roles had switched. She might have been falling hard for Luisa, but she wasn’t going to breach that confidence. Instead, Amy simply said, “I’d like to try it too. Both ways round.”

Amy knew by now what an aroused Luisa looked like, and she could tell that the prospect of them experimenting was having an effect on her. “Do we need to buy some things?” Luisa asked.

“Let’s go shopping on Saturday. It would be fun to do that together. Are there any classy shops selling that sort of thing?”

“I’ve got a few friends who might know, I’ll ask.”

They sat for a little longer, then Luisa said, “Thinking about Saturday, it’s a friend’s birthday party in the evening. I’d love to take you along, if you’d like to meet some people?”

“Introducing me to you friends,” Amy teased with a grin. “This is getting serious!” Seeing Luisa blush, Amy continued, “I’d love to do that, I can’t wait.”

Shopping

Los Angeles

Saturday late morning, and Amy and Luisa found themselves stood across the street from a shop that didn’t look promising. The windows along the narrow store front were entirely opaque, with a blackout film across them. The entrance looked… normal. Nothing special.

“You’re sure this is the place?” Amy asked.

Luisa looked at her phone again and then over at the shop. “Yes, this is where she recommended.”

Amy smiled and shrugged, then taking Luisa by the hand she said, “Safety in numbers, I guess? If it feels weird let’s get out of there fast though.”

Luisa nodded and they crossed the road and tried to walk nonchalantly to the door. Passing through they found themselves in a short corridor with some stairs leading down.

“Feeling brave?” Amy half-joked.

Luisa led the way, and as she got to the bottom and turned left Amy heard her exclaim quietly, “No manches…”

A few steps behind Luisa, Amy caught her up and stopped short too. “Wow!” she said, laughing. Luisa turned to look at Amy, her eyes wide in disbelief. The stairs opened onto a large basement shop which seemed to stock every sort of sex toy and equipment imaginable, but that wasn’t what had grabbed their intention.

Right in front of them stood a mannequin dressed in a full black latex body suit and mask, complete with zips and the works. It was just about the most extreme welcome to the shop that Amy could imagine.

Luisa asked, half nervously, half teasing, “That wasn’t what you had in mind, was it?”

“Too much too soon?” Amy joked. Luisa laughed back and gave her hand an affectionate squeeze. “Shall we have a browse?”

It was quiet at that time of day, just a couple of other customers and a few shop assistants, although Amy got the feeling this wasn’t the sort of place where you asked for much help.

They started to look around, laughing at some of the costumes that could be bought (although Amy secretly wondered what Luisa would look like in a nurse’s or maid’s uniform), andpassing quickly past the lingerie (“I can get better than that for free,” was Luisa’s opinion).

After a few minutes they found the sex toys, and both women’s interest was piqued. “Do you know what we’re looking for?” Luisa asked.

“Roughly,” Amy replied, her eyes alighting on a selection of strap-ons and harnesses. “Any of these take your fancy?”

Luisa stood staring. “I’ve never used one, what do we look for?”

Amy was surprised. “You’ve been with quite a few women though, right?”

“Yes… but it’s always been quite…” She shrugged. “Vanilla I guess? Casual?” She gestured to the selection. “It wouldn’t be a good look to turn up on location somewhere packing this sort of thing.”

Amy filed that away to think about later… the way it sounded like Luisa had what could probably be called breadth but not depth of experience with women, if it was typically about casual hookups. Not that it mattered, but interesting to know. She lowered her voice and said, “It’s not like I’m an expert either, but in my limited experience what is good is to think of the biggest guy that you’ve ever slept with that you enjoyed, then add a bit. Not too much, but a bit.”

Luisa stood looking for a while, judging various ones. Finally, she said, “Which do you want?”

“We can get a couple. For me, this one,” Amy replied, pointing to one that was a little over eight inches in length with a goodwidth. “I’ve experienced bigger, but they can be challenging.” She could see that Luisa was hesitating. “Smaller is ok too though.”

“Could we get this one too,” Luisa replied, pointing to a narrower one that was closer to six inches. “To start with?”
