“No need,” he says, tipping his chin toward the balcony of our bedroom. “I set it all up out there before I woke you.”
Tears start to burn my eyes; now’s the time to practice communication. “Thank you, Grey; I really appreciate it. But,” His face falls like he did something wrong, so I continue, “But I would prefer to eat with you at the dining table. After everything that happened the other night, I think it is only fitting that since things are turning around, we eat there today. I feel closer to you today, Grey, and I would like to make the first new memory there being the start of fixing us.”
“I think that is a great idea. You grab the coffee and meet me downstairs, and I’ll grab the food.” He leans over, gives me a quick peck on the lips, and heads out to the balcony.
Once we are all set up in the dining room, I keep catching Grey looking at me. We share soft smiles and heated glances over an otherwise quiet breakfast.
When we are all done, I offer to clean up, but he refuses my help and just tells me to get ready so we can leave for the shop. I decide that I want to curl my hair for dinner, so I don’t bother washing it. I take a quick shower and get dressed. I opt for no makeup since I’d just have to wash it off and redo it for dinner. Also, I have no idea what will happen between Greyson and me before dinner. When I head downstairs, Greyson is all ready and waiting on me.
“Are you ready to go?” He asks, I nod.
“As I’ll ever be, I’m nervous though,” I say, reaching for my jacket and purse. I slip on my shoes as Greyson heads to the garage to start the car. I get in shortly after, and we’re off to a sex shop.
Greyson
Anna says she’s nervous, and it shows. She’s fidgeting, so I reach over and clasp her hand in mine. She looks at me and gives me a small smile. The shop we’re headed to is across town, so it will take about twenty minutes to get there. So to take her mind off of things, I strike up a conversation.
“The kids will be home in a few weeks; are you excited to go to the lake house?” I ask.
“I am; it will be nice to go there as a family again. And to see them both happy in their relationships will be great too. I really want to go to the marina for dinner one night. You remember, they are under new management and have a new cook. Mom said that the food was to die for, and they scaled the place up too. Maybe we could go for a date night; let the kids have a couple hours without us.” I’m inclined to disagree; I open my mouth to do just that, but she continues.
“Grey, don’t even start. She is eighteen years old. She can make decisions for herself now. As her parents, it is no longer our responsibility to dictate what she does or doesn’t do.” She squeezes my hand and turns to look at me.
“It is now our responsibility to make sure she knows that if anything ever happens, we are here to support her, and she can always come home. We don’t need to be overbearing; all that will do is push her away, and she may eventually stop coming home. Plus, if you and I go out, at least if either of them does anything,we won’t be there. Ignorance is bliss, right?” She laughs at the last part.
“I guess you’re right, but that doesn’t mean I’m happy about it. She is still my baby girl. And the rule still stands: no sleeping in the same room.” She rolls her eyes at that.
“We wouldn’t expect anything less from you. You know she will be grateful for this. So am I.” She lifts my hand to her mouth and gives it a soft kiss, making me smile.
“So a date night at the lake, you say? I think that sounds fantastic. Maybe when Sasha and Henry’s girlfriend get to town, you three can go shopping, and they can help you pick out a nice dress. My treat.” She beams at that, then laughs.
“When has it ever been your money or mine? But I appreciate the sentiment behind the offer.” I laugh with her.
“I’ll have to google the restaurant and ask Mom what the dress code would be.” I can tell she’s more relaxed; we continue to talk about our plans when the kids come, and before long, we are turning into the parking lot for the shop.
I found a parking spot along the street. I get out and walk around the front of the car to open the door for Anna. She takes my outstretched hand and links our hands together. After I shut the car door, I stepped in front of her. “Breath,” I tell her. Nerves are getting the best of her.
We walk into the store hand in hand, and as the bell chimes, we hear a feminine voice say, “Welcome in; is there anything in particular you are looking for today?” I look to see a cheerful blonde girl behind the counter. She has short hair with hot pink tips, a nose ring in the middle, ears pierced, and her makeup matches the rest of her outfit, black and hot pink. She looks to be in her early to mid-twenties.
“I think we’ll just browse for now. Thank you, though,” I respond, and she goes back to whatever she was doing. Pulling Anna off to the side, I scanned the store as we stepped further in.The lingerie is in the front, along with fetish costumes and other clothing along those lines. The register is a step up and separates the front and back part of the store. In the back, I see the toys and other things. That’s where we will find what we are looking for.
“Let’s just start here in the front. Let’s pick out an outfit or two, and as you become more comfortable, we can head to the back, okay?” She looks up at me and nods.
“If this becomes too much, say the word, and we’ll leave; we can always order online.” She shocks me with a defiant lift of her chin, pulls her hand from mine, and heads over to the rack with some different-colored see-through tank top things. The sign above the rack says Teddy’s.
She starts going through a rack and looks at me. “You can go look in the back; I want to pick out something to surprise you tonight.” It takes a minute to get my feet to move, but I manage, and I head to the back. As I pass the register, the associate looks up. I just nod to acknowledge her, smile, and keep walking.
I instantly see the whips and paddles, and beside them, I see a selection of restraints. I start there; they have so many options: ones that attach to the bed, ones that attach to the door, and handcuffs that hook to ankle cuffs. I know what I would like, but I have to check with Anna first; she needs to feel comfortable.
So I keep browsing; they have every shape and size of toys, and I had no idea they made monster cock dildos. I also didn’t know they have mini vibrators that look like lipstick. I wander over to the male section and see cock sleeves that look like the different holes of a woman and ones that vibrate and move. Then I see the dolls; they have actual silicone molds of people, male and female. They are life-size, but just from the neck to the thighs, with no arms.
I move to the movies next; I think I’ll browse here until Anna comes over. I find a few movies that pique my interest; they havea lady tied up on the front. So I pick it up and look at the back. I think this could be fun; maybe watch a scene and reenact it. I’ll check with Anna. I keep browsing; at this point, I’m killing time waiting for her to come over.
“Did you find everything you were looking for today, ma’am?” I hear the associate ask, and I turn to see Anna at the counter. She must be done.
“Oh, I’m not done; I just want to pay for these now so my husband over there doesn’t see what I got until later.” She smiles shyly.
“Oh, I understand; if I can make a suggestion, I would also get this too.” She reaches over the counter into a box and retrieves a little tube of something; it looks like it’s just enough for one use. Then she leans over and lowers her voice, so I can’t hear. Explaining what it is to my wife.
