“Yeah?” My heart skips a beat.

“Of course. I want you to be satisfied too. I think I panicked when you told me that something was missing because I didn’t have any idea it was.” He shrugs. “I’ve had time to really digest it since our meeting with Katherine, and I know you’re right. We’re different people now and I need to figure you out, even though if I’m being honest, I’m still not sure how but I’ll try.” Instant relief washes over my body as I nod my head a few times. “As for open communication, do you mean in the bedroom?” In a voice a few octaves lower than his normal, he says, “Do you want me to say things likebring that pussy over here and bounce on my cock?”

The water I picked up to drink moments before he uttered the wordpussygoes down the wrong pipe and I immediately start choking. Never once in our entire relationship have we ever spoken like that to each other and I have no plans to start.

“You okay?” he says with a straight face while he leans over to pat my back.

Once I catch my breath after a fit of coughs, I burst out laughing at the awkwardness of his question. Not a little chuckle, but a full-on belly laugh, and he joins a few seconds later.

Once the laughter has faded, I tell him, “One, you’re a dingbat. Two, that’s not what I mean at all.At all!” I shake my head at him, and he laughs again. "Yes in the bedroom, saying what we need and want feels good and whatnot, but I mean outside the bedroom too. How Katherine was saying that romance is different for each person. I want to know the ways you feel most loved and supported. That’s all. Nocock and pussy.”

Chuckling again, he says, “Yeah, sure, we can try. You may have to help me but I’ll do my best.”

“I know communicating your needs and emotions is hard for you, but we can figure it out together.”

He leans over and gives me a gentle kiss and I can taste the raspberries on his lips from the salad. After he pulls back, he stands up in a rush and says, “Let’s go.”

Startled by his abruptness, I ask, “What? Where are we going?”

With one hand on the back of my chair and the other flat on the table, he leans down close to my face, wiggles his eyebrows, and says, “To the sex shop…”

Chapter 13

I mean GIANT

Ellie

Holycrap.I didn’t meanright now.

I know I said I want to add sex toys to the bedroom, but I thought there’d be some build-up or something.

Nope, when we got into the minivan, Marco pulled up a search of local sex shops, picked the cleanest looking one, and set the GPS before he took off. Thankfully, it’s two towns over so the chances of running into someone we know are slim, but I didn’t mentally prepare for this.

Okay, we’re doing this. We’re going to a sex shop for sex toys.

We pull up to the building and I read the name:Top Drawer.

Besides the sign, there’s no indication of all the scandalous things waiting for us inside. To the left is a restaurant and to the right a nail salon.

My stomach feels queasy as he parks.

He squeezes my hand and smiles wide. “It’ll be fun. Come on..”

Smiling awkwardly, I quietly ask, “Do we even know what we are looking for? I haven’t done any research yet.”

“I think we’ll know when we see it. In order to see it, we have to go inside though.” He points to the building with wide eyes and snickers.

Inhaling a deep breath and unbuckling my seatbelt, I sturdy myself. “Okay, let’s go.”

“Thatta girl. Don't be nervous. I’m right here.” He pats my legs a few times and hops out.

“Right, don’t be nervous,” I say to an empty van as he comes around to open my door.

He pulls my hand and says, “It’s okay, babe. We’ll find you something good. This is going to be fun.”

“You’re right. I know you’re right.” Shaking my head and climbing out, I say, "I’m going to try to stay calm.Fun.” I smile tentatively.

When we walk into the store, a little bell above the door chimes.Oh great, alert everyone we’re here why don’t you.
