Page 49 of Unexpected Packages

“I’m so glad I caught you.” She smiled my way and held the gift out. “Happy birthday, Lexi. I hope you two can put this to good use later tonight.” She winked at me, and I heard a strangled sound come out of Lexi’s throat.

“Thank you, Connie,” she managed to say as she stared at the box in her hand like it was a grenade.

I pulled Lexi close to me. “Oh, I’m sure we will, Connie. You have a good night. We need to go before we miss our reservation.”

“Have a good night, you two,” she called as we hustled down the hallway.

“What do you think is in this?” Lexi asked softly as we took the stairs down.

“Open it.”

“I’m afraid to. I’ll wait until we get in the car.”

At my vehicle, I opened the door for her and waited while she climbed in. When I got behind the wheel, she was still staring at the box. “Just open it; it can’t be as wild as what Clare got you.”

She grunted. “I’m not so sure of that. Connie saw what was in that box and told me she wanted to show me her own toys. Oh, my god! I hope she didn’t buy me any of those.”

“Open the package.” I snickered as she looked fearful and began to tear the wrapping paper. She stared at the item in her hand, her jaw dropping as I began to laugh.

“Seriously? She got me edible underwear?”

“Cherry flavored, my favorite,” I commented as she nailed me with a look that should have caused me to flinch, but I laughed harder. “Oh, come on, you know you want to try it.”

“No, I do not.”

I reached for her hand. “But that could be an enjoyable dessert.”

She nibbled on her bottom lip as she contemplated it. “Okay, maybe.”

“There’s my girl. You need to have a sense of adventure once in a while.”

“Oh, trust me, I have a sense of adventure everywhere but in the bedroom.”

I studied her as I put my vehicle in reverse. “Why is that?”

She shrugged. “I don’t know. I guess it’s just not something that I’m comfortable with.”

“You’ve used vibrators before, right?” I asked as I backed out, purposefully not looking at her so she wouldn’t be embarrassed.

“Yeah, I have a few times,” she answered quietly.

I peered at her, and even though it was dark in the car, I knew she was probably blushing. “You know there is nothing to be embarrassed about, right? It’s what people do.”

Her laugh sounded strangled. “Yeah, if you say so.”

“Can I ask you another question?”

“Yes.”

“Have you ever used one with a partner?”

“You mean with Will?”

“Yes.”

“No, we didn’t. Our sex life was fine without it.”

I chuckled. “I’m sure it was. I’ve made love before, and it was more than fine, but using toys in the bedroom enhances the pleasure.”
