“—and Miles just happens to have used the doll last night while fried out of his mind—”
“Also wait,” says Walker.
“—and nobody said shit to anybody else about any of this?”
Quiet.
“The Kroger parking lot?” Walker says.
“Is that really the detail you’re focusing on right now?” Grant snaps.
“We were just getting groceries,” I explain, ignoring Grant.
“That makes it worse, bro,” Walker says.
“Okay so,” Finn leans forward. “Can we back up to the actual—what is this? What are we all doing? Because I’ve been treating it like a whole thing, and I guess I didn’t know it was a whole thing with everybody else too.”
They all look at me.
“Okay.” I sit up. “So. It’s a kink.”
“No shit,” Grant says, rolling his eyes.
“Dude, let me finish. It’s a kink where I—” I think about how to say it. My brain offers seventeen options, but they’re all either too clinical or too freaky. “I like being used. Like a doll, or whatever. When I go offline, I’m just—” I make a gesture that doesn’t fully capture it. “Available.And I like it when you guys use me when I’m like that. It feels good. Being used while I’m out feels good. I’m not—it’s not like I’m gay or anything, it’s just this specific—”
“Scenario,” Walker offers.
“Yeah.”
“Okay,” he says, like this is perfectly coherent, which I appreciate.
I also appreciate that they don’t askwhyI like it.
I don’t have an answer for that anyway.
“And the ‘going offline’ part,” Finn says, looking at me with actual curiosity. “You just switch off?”
“Yeah.”
“And you can do it whenever?”
“Well, yeah.”
Finn looks around at the room. Then he looks at me. “I’m horny as fuck right now. Like, super horny. Could you—”
“Dude!” Walker yells.
“What the hell is wrong with you?” Grant asks.
“I’m just asking—”
“We’re in the middle of a serious conversation—”
“I know, but he just said he can do it whenever.”
I grab my junk through my sweatpants. All of them stare. I’m so hard it’s practically bursting through the fabric.
“I would also like to go offline,” I say, rubbing the heavy length of it. “I’dreallylike that right now, actually.”
