“Sir?” I croaked.

“Hmm?”

“Is one of those in the bag?”

He smiled and winked. “I’ll make sure we put one in there.”

“Now we can move on to talking about nipple clamps,” Emory said as he pulled a few more things out of a drawer. “When you’re starting out, they are only worn briefly. It cuts off circulation, so you don’t want to cause nerve or skin damage.”

“These are good for beginners,” he said, holding up a leather collar with chains attached to it, small clips with a screw attached to them on the ends. “The bullnose clips have tightening screws so you can increase or reduce the amount of pressure. “

He held up a little saw-toothed clamp next. “This kind of clamp also comes without the screws and is called an alligator clamp.”

“The rest of the clamp styles I wouldn’t recommend for beginners. There are clothesline clamps, designed like a clothespin but with a strong spring for tight application.”

“Magnetic clamps may be okay to use.” He reached into the drawer and pulled out a little metal circle with two rods sticking out of either side. He used his fingers to pull the rods apart and then released one. It immediately moved to attach to the other rod.

“Subs who really enjoy nipple play can also have Thai sticks used, ones worn with weights, attached to weighted chains. The goal of all these is to stimulate endorphin release, which can make the area more sensitive and encourage stronger climaxes.”

He carefully placed all the items he’d gotten out back into their drawers, closing them and then opening a cabinet at the bottom.

“This part may seem tedious, but it’s a very important part of proper play and maintenance of your items,” he said as he pulled out several bottles and some small towels. “We have leather cleaner and conditioner, varnish for the rattan cane, metal cleaner, and sanitizer, silicone cleaner and sanitizer. Cleaning both before and after use helps keep items in good shape, helps prevent the spread of disease if you have multiple partners, and helps prevent infection.”

He spent ten minutes showing us how to clean and store multiple different types of items.

“He scare you two off yet?” Talia asked as she peeked around the doorframe to the playroom.

“Did you close up for lunch?” he asked her. She nodded and crossed the room, kissing him on the cheek and leaning her elbow on his chest. He gazed down at her like she was the only person in the room, and I could see they really cared for each other.

“Are you two staying or...?” he trailed off.

Talia pulled on his arm and spoke quietly, but Chase and I could still hear her. “Some new things came in when I ordered the items for Chase.”

His face brightened, and he gave her a naughty grin. “You two can have the rest of the day off. I’ve suddenly got a very pressing matter to attend to.”

Emory pulled her hips into his and whispered in her ear, causing a giggle as she pointed toward the door to the gallery. “There’re a few paper bags behind the desk for you. You’re welcome,” she winked and then pulled Emory’s mouth to hers.

“I think that’s our cue,” I said, turning around and pulling Chase’s arms around me, resting my hands on the small of her back.

“I do believe we have some research of our own to do,” she nodded as she reached up on her toes and gave me a soft kiss.

Evan struggled to keep up as I dragged him across the studio by the hand, through the curtain, and into the gallery. Talia had left two large paper shopping bags with tissue paper tucked across the top of each.

“Grab the sex swag, and let’s go,” I nodded, excited to see what goodies Talia had provided. She was a bit of a sex toy connoisseur. Tal had been contracted as a reviewer for several sex toy companies as a lucrative side gig. She got all kinds of freebies and was always excited to share.

“Someone’s eager,” he laughed as he tapped my butt with his palm and reached around me to grab a bag.

“Can you blame me?” I bounced on my toes. “I want to know what she got us. Tal’s like a regular orgasm dealer.”

“Well, they both seem dedicated to us doing effective research,” Evan chuckled as he lifted the bag, which seemed packed to the top.

A loud gasp, followed by a sensual moan, sounded from the direction of the playroom, and we shared a look.

“They didn’t waste any time.” Evan was trying to hold in a laugh as he glanced toward the curtain. The slight pink tinge on his cheeks amused me. I was immune to Talia and Emory’s amorous behavior, but he hadn’t seen it in action as I had.
