“Jesus, Sasha, don’t hold back. Tell me what you really think.”

“Okay,” she shrugged. “I want to unhook it, slide it down your arms, and suck on those gorgeous…”

“Sasha!” I hissed. “Fuck off.”

“Hey, you asked me to tell you.”

I snorted and headed back in to change to the next bra. Finally, two hours after we went into the store, we walked out. We were both laden down with bags. I had everything from skirts and dresses to bras and thongs, and everything in between. I even found a couple pairs of boots and another pair of heels. Despite my argument, Sasha bought one of the outfits and a pair of boots for me. Sage even knocked off 20% because I purchased so much and was Sasha’s friend.

We piled the bags into the trunk and hopped back in the car. She looked at me and the corners of her lips were twitching.

“What are you thinking now?”

“I’m thinking I probably don’t have to take you to any of the other stores.”

“Fuck, no. I couldn’t even really afford what I spent in there. I’d wanted to get some new toys and forgot.”

“If they’re for at the club, you should wait. Jason probably already has anything you’d be looking for.”

“Is his collection really that big?”

“It’s really that big. We all have a pretty decent stock of toys in our rooms, but he puts all of us to shame.”

“Now I really want to play again,” I said, a shiver running down my spine.

“I bet you do. Listen, why don’t you come back to my place? We can have something to eat, drink some wine, and catch up on what’s happened with you and Jason. I can drop you back home after.”

“Sure. I have a deadline to meet, but I think I can spare a couple more hours.”

“Great!”

I was actually quite happy that she’d asked me over. I had already planned to invite her back to my place. I wanted to talk to her about Jason and find out whether she’d be interested in playing again. I really hoped she would want to. Now that I’d had a taste of it, I definitely wanted more. She pulled up to a huge condo building, parked her car in the underground parking, and led me inside. We stepped into the elevator and she pressed the button for the sixteenth floor. It looked as though there were only four condos on each floor.

“Holy shit, Sasha! Your place is amazing. How on earth did you manage to find a place like this?”

“I think so too,” she winked. “I bought it after I sold my house. I just got sick of the upkeep. A friend put in a good word for me, so here I am. Follow me, I’ll give you the five-cent tour.”

She led me from room to room, each one more gorgeous than the last. We finally circled back to the large kitchen where she poured two large glasses of wine and piled a platter high with meat, cheese, and crackers. We sat together on the couch, sipping our wine, and filling our plates with food. I hadn’t realized just how hungry I was.

“So, I take it you have decided to become Jason’s sub?”

“Yup. I never could have predicted this would happen, especially with him. I don’t usually get the good guy. I mean, you saw Tad.”

“Oh God, well you definitely found a good one this time. I’m not surprised at all this has happened. He’s had his eye on you since the first time you came to the club.”

“It might not matter. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to afford the club membership now,” I said sadly. “That shopping spree put a big dent in my bank account.”

“Honey, why would you need a membership? You’re Jason’s sub. You’ll be able to get in because of that. Besides, you know you can always come in as my guest if needed.”

“Really? I thought I’d fucked myself over after today.”

“Nope, definitely. So, how did negotiations go with him?”

“Well, apparently, I only saw about a quarter of what he has. The only thing I won’t let him use of what I saw was anything to do electro play.”

“You’re kidding? At some point, you might want to try it. It just feels kind of tingly. It can feel like a snapping elastic or a shock you’d get from rubbing your socks on the carpet and touching someone. Just keep that in mind.”

“I will, but for now, it stays firmly in my hard limits category, along with needle play.”
