There's a certain NYC sex shop that I like, primarily because it caters more to women than to men. I just have a feeling of discomfort browsing for my pornographic pleasure when surrounded by too many others of my own gender, or asking sex-related questions of them. I enjoy the thought of buying a toy or two from a female, subtly revealing the true nature of my perversions, without having to talk in any great degree or embarrassing detail. This particular store is located on an upper floor of a midtown high-rise office building, a discrete location with a subtle entrance. It fits the bill perfectly. There are no garish product displays, and things are tastefully presented in well-marked sections. The shop itself is reasonably small, comprised of two nicely appointed rooms, plus the storage area for the wares.
Yesterday, when my troubles began (if "troubles" is the appropriate word), I was the sole male in the shop, so I wanted to be careful not to draw undue attention to myself, or make any of the other patrons uncomfortable with my presence (I really do attempt to be considerate). There were half a dozen or so female customers in the store that I noted, but my attention was focused on the two employees themselves (I didn't stare, but thank god for good peripheral vision). My guess is that they were related, but striking up a conversation with either of them on any sort of a personal basis just came across to me as "creepy", an adjective I try hard to avoid (although, deep down, I realize that the case could arguably be made). The woman at the cash register was, if I had to guess, Slavic. I had been to Croatia many years before, and she reminded me of the beautiful women I had seen there. This particular woman was tall and thin, perhaps forty years of age. "Lithe" was the perfect description. When I say tall, I suspect she was near about 5'-11", only two inches shorter than me (so nearly eye level). For no reason whatsoever, I named her "Leda," as it seemed to fit. Buried in my memory was a Greek myth about a swan and a woman of that name, so it was something that I felt I could remember, given her long, slender features.
I do sometimes wonder if women know the thoughts that go through our heads when we see them, and the considerable level of effort that we need to expend to keep our filters engaged, attempting to hide what we're really thinking. The first thing I noticed about her was her hands, which were definitely larger than mine. Her fingers were long and lean, and had a certain elegance about them. Being the deviant that I am (which I said I desperately attempt to hide in public), my imagination slowly began envisioning those lovely, glorious fingers at work. How did I so quickly conjure up an image of her left hand cupping and fondling my privates, with the other slowly, methodically, teasingly, stroking my shaft, all while staring confidently and directly into my eyes?
I needed to change my visual image quickly, as I realized I was becoming aroused, and this was not the place to be doing so, especially with the current clientele. It did not help when I looked at her younger colleague, who was perhaps two or three inches shorter but of reasonably similar physique. Since I had given her colleague a name, I decided that this one looked like a "Valeria," so that's how I started to think of her. She had a steely gaze, and the first thing that came to mind was, I presume, a Game of Thrones reference to Valyrian steel, hence the name. She, too, was also in form fitting trousers, but I couldn't help thinking about the lovely legs contained within. I pictured her wearing a modest length skirt, and once again, I quickly began drawing on my mental canvas. Although I didn't move from my chosen spot, In my mind I walked over to her (having eliminated everyone else in this mental scenario), got on my knees in front of her, and waited for her sly smile. Her slight lifting of the hem of the imagined skirt was my signal to begin. I slowly ran the tip of my nose across her soft calves, breathed in her skin-softened aroma, gently kissed the inside of her thighs. Eagerly, I reached under the skirt and lowered her panties to expose a lovely, luscious patch of brunette hair. These lips were moist, and ready for the attention that I craved to provide.
Stop it. I was dangerously doing it again. The scene was perhaps too much for me, and it was prudent that I should depart and leave the other shoppers in peace. Truly, that's what I intended to do.
Then two new women entered the store, a bit boisterously, and they headed straight to the woman behind the counter. "We're in charge of our friend's bachelorette party, and we're hoping you can provide us with some appropriately entertaining and kinky ideas."
The woman who spoke did so with a bit of a brogue, and that, along with the red hair, were dead giveaways to her Irish heritage. Perhaps twenty-seven years of age, 5'5" in height, with an athletic build. Her companion was of similar age, a bit shorter, but one of the most attractive African-American women that I have ever seen. I was certainly curious to see how this conversation was about to unfold, so I staked out a position where I could see and hear, but not be in the direct line of sight. I could at least pretend not to be eavesdropping, even though I most ashamedly was.
"When is the party?" was asked by Leda, my fantasy stroker.
"Tomorrow night, beginning at 9PM" came the reply.
"If you really want something out of the ordinary I think we can provide it, but are you sure that's what you're looking for?"
"Absolutely. She's marrying the love of her life, but he's a bit controlling. We want to give her the appropriate send-off, and let her let loose in a big way."
"Well, if that's what you really want, I may have just the right idea." With that, she winked at Valeria, and I noticed that they exchanged smiles that I found hard to describe. "Evil" was the first word that fleetingly passed through my mind.
"Sorry Ladies, we need to close up shop a bit early tonight," Leda announced to the other shoppers. "We need to do a private product demonstration. If you wouldn't mind bringing up any of your purchases to the register, we'll check you out as expeditiously as practical."
That being said, the store started to empty out. I delayed an instant or two, but then put the book I was pretending to read, Venus in Fur, back on the shelf and headed, somewhat reluctantly, for the door.
"No, sir. Not you. I said "Ladies." You're needed for this" I heard, in a surprisingly forceful manner.
I must have looked as confused as I felt, but I stopped in my tracks. The other women departed as instructed.
With that, her colleague walked over, put the "Closed" sign on the outside, and locked the door.
"I need you to put your hands on the counter."
No use of the verbal nicety "please." Just a clear, concise instruction that I didn't, for whatever reason, question. I complied. It might be fun to see where this would lead (or so I naively thought).
At that moment, two very petite Japanese females exited from the other room. Whether they had not heard or didn't understand the previous instruction I couldn't say. The proprietors didn't seem to be in any rush to escort them out, and let them stay to observe. My guess was that they were each 21 or so, and barely five feet tall (but very, very cute).
I assessed the situation: I was in a locked sex shop, surrounded by six very attractive women of various ages, heights, nationalities and skin colors. I was excited to see where this might lead, but understandably nervous as well.
"OK, let's cut straight to the chase. If you want the bride to enjoy herself, based on what you've told us, we think we have just the thing."
With that, Leda walked over to the BDSM section of the shop, took a harness off the shelf, spending a few seconds to decide which dildo was best to pair with it. She made her selection (one of the smaller ones available), inserted one into the other, donned her strapon, with me still standing with my hands on the counter.
The two members of the bridal party laughed, which was more of a combination of a gasp and a giggle.
Leda provided a brief instruction (almost a command). "You've seen the cop shows. Spread 'em." With that, she used her right foot to widen my stance at the counter.
She took the head of the dildo and pressed it against me, while placing her hands on my hips.
"You get the idea," she said to her slightly astonished audience.
"We've certainly heard of these before, but never seen them used, and never on a guy. While I, for one, am excited to see this, it looks like it would be harder to do than we might be able to easily pull off," lilted the redheaded lass.
"Not at all" came the reply. Leda stood me up, and turned me around. "And you'll notice that he has not objected to anything yet, and from where I'm standing seems to be enjoying himself. Or, should I say, at least part of him is."
I had certainly attempted surreptitious leering in my past; the overt attention now being paid to my crotch was unusual and, frankly, a little embarrassing.
"But I take your point," Leda continued, "and you want a more detailed further demonstration."
With that, she reached for my belt, and undid the buckle. "Go on, she said. Take 'em off. In fact, this will be easier for all of us if you just take everything off."
I could not believe what I had just heard. Did these women really want to see me naked? Was this somehow a trap? For what purpose? Was I being lured into some sort of harassment claim? What was going on?
