Okay, so it’s not as bad as I thought it would be Even though h it that I’ht a shark or a really large bear That’s really the only explanation for the fight-or-flight reaction I’ht now But no, it’s just a sex shop

It’s actually a lot nicer than I expected In e of a seedy hole in the ith the decor of Dracula’s lair, chains and dildos hanging fro around now, I’m embarrassed about how many times I walked up and down the block before I let , and I feel aard as hell, but the store is nice It’s all glass display cases and fun music It kind of reminds me of a beauty store, the way it’s laid out, except for all the sex toys…

I pull out my phone and check the time, and the time of the class I’ around the store aardly looking at things I’ve never even thought of using I’ the Pleasure Chest logo of erotically entangled legs, and a little sign that tells what’s inside My eyes fall on one called the ‘Better Blow-Job Kit,’ and I snort out loud If only it were that easy

I jump backwards, startled by the voice, and crash directly into a shelf I watch in horror as sample dildos of every size and color and the boxes behind theraphic chain of dominos Oh My God What did I just do?

I look over to find a gorgeous Asian e of the shelf, a look of startled surprise on his face His hair is slicked back and I notice he has cheekbones that I would kill for, but that’s all I take in before I look away because I’ht red, and I can feel the heat of the blush radiating from me I lean down to help clean up thetwo dildos in front of a coer

He bends down and starts to pick up the boxes, straightening the shelf and putting them back

“I’ that a hole will open in the floor and s me up
