It was a gorgeous Saturday morning and Ellie and I were wandering round the local market. It's a pleasant 10 minute walk from our apartment to the place and it seemed silly to spend the time inside. Considering how crowded the place was, I could see we weren't the only ones thinking that. Anyway, we were wandering round the market, peeking into all sorts of alternative stalls, when Ellie called me over to look into a particular one.
It was one of those stalls that had those red resin figurines you see all the time. You know the ones, Chinese foo dogs, dragons, etc. What had Ellie's attention though was a folder she was mischievously thumbing through.
"Have a look at these," she said.
Well, I had a look and I could see why she had a smile. It was a catalogue of figurines, but not the type you could put on display. All very, very adult.
There was one of a naked couple making love, another of a naked female kneeling in front of a guy and sucking his very hard cock. Another of a female sitting on the face of a naked guy, obviously enjoying his attention while she rubbed her tits as his cock stuck into the air. Another of a couple fingering each other. One with two females and one male. Two males and one female. You get the idea. There were many variations and they all looked exquisite in their pornographic detail.
An old, gray haired woman came up to us. "Do you and your wife like the figures? I have some here if you want to look."
People always make that mistake about us.
"They're lovely but we aren't together. We're just friends."
"Good friends?", she asked with a sly look.
"Nup," Ellie replied. "We live together but we go our separate ways".
"Ah!", she said. "Then I think I know just the right figure for the two of you. May I?" as she reached for the catalogue.
She flipped through a few pages and then gave it back to us. The figurine was of a naked male and female sitting on the ground facing each other with their legs spread wide apart. His ankles crossed over hers and each was masturbating.
Him, with his hand wrapped around a hugely erect cock, and her; well she had the fingers of one of her hands buried deeply in her pussy, while her other hand tweaked a stiff nipple on her pendulous tits. There was a look of ecstasy on their faces.
"You see, it's friends openly giving themselves pleasure without inhibition."
We both looked at the picture a bit gob-smacked.
"It's very cheap. Only twenty dollars. It's something you can share between yourselves."
I think Ellie was feeling a little frisky this morning. Maybe it was that time of the month because, before I could say anything, she said; "Sure, why not. It's gorgeous."
And with that she pulled a twenty out of her purse.
The woman smiled then frowned a bit.
"These are special figurines and you have to seal them before you can have them."
"Seal them?" we both gawped.
"Yes, seal them. Just a minute and I'll show you."
And with that, she ducked under one of her trestle tables and began rummaging through cardboard boxes.
"Ah, here it is!"
She brought up a small box, flipped it upside down and the figure slid out covered in bubble wrap.
It was not the figure she showed us though but the base. There was a flat indent about 3 centimetres in diameter and a few millimetres deep, around which was inscribed a series of runes. At least I think they were runes.
"To seal the figure, I need a little snip of each of your hairs, just an inch long. I put the hairs in the impression and seal them in with a special resin. Once the resin has dried the figurine is sealed."
