“It’s a butt plug, Martha.” Dolly droned on with a wave of her hand dismissively. “They do all kinds of things these days.”

“A—” Martha looked between me and Tamen, blinking. “A what?”

Dolly interrupted, “Do you like taking it in the ass?” She said it so flat-faced I couldn’t help but grin. The conversation wasn’t something I expected to have with strangers, though I wasn’t embarrassed. “I mean, that’s the point, isn’t it? To take it in the ass?”

“In a way.” I stammered through the uncomfortable explanation. “It’s a sex toy; it’s meant for pleasure.”

“But you’re not having sex right now.” Janice, Dolly’s best friend, quipped from where she sat next to Tamen, eyeing him up like a piece of meat. “What’s the point?”

I shrugged, sipping my Cosmo. “Well, on the practicality side of things, prep time. And on the fun side of things, it builds anticipation.”

Janice cackled and patted Tamen on the knee, “I knew you had a big dick.”

Dolly scoffed from the other side of the man-meat sandwich, leaning around him to glare at her. “I already told you he did.”

I choked on my drink and alcohol came out of my nose as Tamen pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lighting one up and blowing the smoke into the sky. “I’m sorry, what?”

Dolly winked at me, rubbing her hand over his knee. “It was before you, I’m sure. And if it wasn’t, don’t worry, I won’t steal him back from you. I’m going to be an honest woman in an hour.”

Tamen chuckled, “Way before you, Rainbow.”

“Good god.” I scoffed, shaking my head, already imagining the story I was going to get out of him at some point.

“My Raymond is big in the drawers, too.” Dolly added like anyone asked, “Not Big Ben big,” she nodded to Tamen, “but he gets the job done.”

Attempting to turn the conversation away from my butthole and my boyfriend’s big dick, I asked Dolly about her favorite subject ever; herself. “How did you meet Raymond?”

She lit up like a light bulb, “He’s the handyman that the Post Office calls when things break around there.”

“I bet they were breaking all the time, weren’t they?” Tamen asked her with a side eye, and she chuckled like a schoolgirl.

“Sure were.” She ticked items off her fingers, “My favorite was breaking the key off in the lock, because that had to be fixed that same day, so he was always quick to come running for me. But then there were other things too, like the toilet.”

Martha grimaced, “You clogged the toilet to get your crush to come over?”

“No, honey,” Dolly pursed her lips, “I broke the porcelain bowl with a hammer.” She whooshed her arms out in a frenzy, “Water everywhere!” The girls all fell into giggles as she continued with her list. “The door hinges came off easy with some WD-40. The windows got stuck really well thanks to that fancy orange glue from the hardware store.” She rubbed her fingers absently as she shrugged, “So did my fingerprints, but it was worth it.”

“How long did you do these things for?” I asked.

“Years!” Her eyes widened. “It took that man years to realize what I was doing and just ask me out. He said he was tired of fixing everything around there three times over and if it would get me to stop, he’d take me to Mario’s for dinner.” Dolly’s shoulders shrugged in pride, “And we’ve been inseparable ever since.”

“And getting married tonight!” Janice raised her glass, and the girls all cheered loudly.

“Wait, you’re getting hitched tonight?” I asked, surprised, given that it was already after midnight. Didn’t old people go to bed early?

“At two forty-four am on the anniversary of our very first kiss.” Dolly sighed happily.

Martha leaned over to me and then stage whispered, “And by anniversary she means two months later. She’s a ho.”

With understanding, I cackled and raised my glass; I was a ho for a man, too. I mean, technically Iused to bea ho for hire, but now, I was just a ho for Tamen.

“Ooh,” Dolly lit up like a Christmas tree, “You have to come. It’s right down the road!”

“To your wedding?” Tamen scoffed, but she ignored him.

“It’s perfect! You guys can help celebrate with us! You can bring your disco ball butt plug and everything!”

“Oh, my god.” Tamen held his face in his hands, shaking his head as he laughed at her antics.
