Page 45 of Right Number, Wrong Man
I cringe. For a second, I consider running out, but I plaster a smile on my face and shuffle toward the woman. “Uh, hi. I guess that’s me?” I let out an awkward, high-pitched giggle.
She rummages around under the counter and pulls out a brown paper bag. “Everything is in here. Already paid for, too.”
I blink. Then why the hell did he send me that money?
She grins, pushing the bag into my hands, and leans in conspiratorially. “Your man’s a keeper, babe. This is the most expensive toy we got. I’m a little jealous cause you’re telling me he’s kinkyandgenerous? I can never find a guy like that in real life, only in my books.” She winks, tapping the floral skull cover of the dark romance. “Have fun!”
“T-thanks,” I get out before I run to the door like I’m being chased by a horde of zombies. I don’t stop all the way to my car and jump in. Minutes pass until I’m brave enough to look in the bag.
Even the box of the plug is ultra-deluxe. It has embossed lettering and a clear plastic window behind a cardboard flap. “Pre-charged and ready to play!” reads a shiny sticker. I dig around in the bag and find a pink bottle of lube at the bottom.
Raspberry scent.
My favorite smell? What a coincidence. I love raspberries so much that I’ve used the same berry and rose fragrance since high school.
I snap a picture of my purchases and send it to Jax.
Jax
Well done. I’m proud of you for overcoming your shame. Now what do you say when Daddy gives you a gift, Sugar?
My stomach flutters. Did someone hand this man a manual titledHow to turn Hailey into a puddle of horny goo?
Me
Thank you, Daddy.
Jax
Good girl.
I giggle maniacally. Oh, so now two words from him are all it takes to make me blush like a schoolgirl? That’s borderline concerning.
Jax
I’ll walk you through the app setup.
The giggling stops.
Me
Wait, what?? RIGHT NOW?!
Jax
There’s a reason I sent you on errands without panties…

HAILEY
It takesa few minutes to remotely connect the toy to Jax’s phone. Suddenly, the plug starts vibrating violently, almost jumping off my palm, and I have to wrangle it with both hands.
I’ve never been happier that Mike wanted a car with tinted windows. What would people think if they saw me playing with a butt plug in broad daylight?
Jax
Did it work?
