"Hey Mags, check it out! I found my new boyfriend!"
Maggie pulled her gaze away from the rows of pink boxes before her and made her way down the aisle to where Sasha was standing. The tall, lithe brunette was holding a large, glossy box with a picture of a bikini-clad model on the front. Maggie studied the lettering on the package.
Big Tex
, she read, apparently referring to the mammoth silicone dong inside. The platinum blonde model was wearing a cowboy hat adorned with cheesy rhinestones, an equally gaudy bikini top, and a black thong. The model's eyes were closed and her mouth was half-open in fake ecstasy.
"
You'll yell 'Yee-Haw' every time!"
Maggie rolled her eyes.
"What if 'Yee-Haw' just isn't your style? Could you yell something else, like...'Cowabunga'? Or do you even have to yell at all?" Maggie's finger traced the embossed lettering on the box. "Surely you could just be like, 'Oh yes, this is quite nice', spoken in a normal tone of voice..."
Sasha gave her friend a withering stare. "You're missing the whole point, Mags." She pointed to the picture of Big Tex, in all his pinkish, veiny glory. Once that big boy is inside, you're gonna lose all ability to comprehend words, let alone have the brain power for witty comebacks." Sasha pushed her glasses back up on her nose and looked sidelong at Maggie. "Besides, everything's supposed to be bigger in Texas!" She dropped her voice to an unnecessarily low volume. "Shouldn't that go for orgasms too?" she hissed, tittering.
Maggie couldn't help but stifle a chuckle herself. Here they were in the middle of an adult novelty store, at the request of an overly giggly Sasha who'd had one too many Sangrias, and the poor girl now couldn't even bring herself to say the word "orgasm" in a regular tone of voice without being all self-conscious.
Maggie turned her head to survey their surroundings. "Why in the hell are you whispering, Sosh? Or should I say...Slosh?" She gave her tipsy friend a knowing wink. "Seriously though, there's not even anyone else in here. Well, except for her..." Maggie jerked her head toward the lonely cashier, who was busy tidying up her checkout display halfway across the store. "And believe me, she ain't gonna care if you use the O-word. Besides, this was YOUR idea in the first place..."
"I know, I know Mags." Sasha reached out to tousle Maggie's thick, naturally curly auburn hair. "Don't get pissy with me. I just want this to be a good experience for you. For us." Her voice suddenly took on a more sobering tone as she rested her hand on Maggie's shoulder, gently grazing the curvy redhead's neck with her fingernails. The gesture was just intentional enough to send little shivers of pleasure down Maggie's spine. She could feel her cheeks redden as Sasha's surprisingly clear green eyes stared intently back into her own brown ones from behind the designer frames. For a few perfect seconds, neither woman moved nor spoke a word; they just held their gaze, delving deeper into each other's souls.
For us.
Maggie let those two simple words roll around in her mind, swirling amidst the silence. Only the ubiquitous dance pop soundtrack looped in the background over the store's PA system.
Sasha spoke first, breaking the all-too-brief spell. "Um, so...obviously Big Tex isn't quite your speed. I think I should put him back." Her eyes quickly darted down to the box still in her hand.
Maggie caught her breath. "Um, yeah, totally not for me. I mean, she looks like a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader reject! So. Many. Rhinestones. Like she got in a fight with the Bedazzler and lost." She chuckled softly, relieved to be regaining control. Humor was much safer to her than the silent, total honesty from a few moments earlier. That was too...disarming. "Am I right, Slosh?" She gave her friend a playful poke in the ribs.
"Stop calling me that! I'm not drunk! I'm just...a little...warm..." Sasha fumbled with the other boxes on the shelf, desperately attempting to make enough room for Big Tex and his behemoth box. It wasn't working. "Maybe a giant cock isn't the way to go. Wanna go look at vibrators instead?"
Now there was an idea! "Okay!" Maggie's voice brightened considerably at the suggestion. She grabbed her friend, who was still trying to wrangle Big Tex back into his rightful resting place on the shelf. Maggie snatched the box out of Sasha's free hand and unceremoniously dumped it sideways on top of two other boxes. "She needs some work to do, anyway", motioning to the cashier who was now half-heartedly straightening the negligees and teddies that hung off the mannequins in the storefront. Sasha reluctantly abandoned her quest to re-shelve Big Tex and allowed Maggie to drag her by the wrist into the next section, away from the rows of dismembered, oversized cocks.

"Were you more interested in rotating, thrusting, or both?" Maggie surveyed the plethora of sparkly pinks and purples before Sasha and her. For some reason, she felt much more at home in this section than she did in The Land of Giant Dongs. "Personally, I'm partial to the rotating. I can thrust on my own if I want to..." Her voice trailed off as she looked at Sasha, who was absentmindedly staring off into the distance as if lost in her own daydream, an odd half-smile spreading across her face.
"Dude? Slosh?"
Maggie's voice snapped Sasha out of her reverie. She blinked a few times. "Um, yeah, definitely thrusting. Or not. Whatever, Mags..." She started to drift back to her happy place, so Maggie jabbed her in the ribs to bring her back. "Ow! Bitch!" Sasha started rubbing her side, shooting her friend a heated glare.
"Hey, at least now you're back on Planet Earth, Major Tom. Where the hell was your mind? I was trying to talk to you and I might as well have been talking to my cat. Sorry I had to get rough with you." Maggie put her hand to her friend's side, the top of her hand lightly grazing the underside of Sasha's bra. The redhead felt another fire slowly build up in her cheeks and quickly pulled her hand away.
"It's cool. I shouldn't have spaced out on you. I was just...it's not important." Sasha squared her shoulders and pushed her glasses back up on her nose. "I'm good. It's all good. Rabbit."
"What?"
"Rabbit. I want a rabbit." She pointed to a box with a large, glittery purple vibrator cutout. "Wascally Wabbit," Maggie read aloud. Her nose crinkled up. "It's nice, but do you really wanna think of Elmer Fudd every time you're about to cum?" She fluttered her eyelids in fake ecstasy. "'Yes, Elmer, oh YES! Don't stop! It's Wabbit Season! Ha-h-h-h-h-ha!'" Her voice was breathy and rapturous.
"Oh my GAWD, Mags! Shut up!" Sasha sputtered, convulsing with laughter. "Fuck. I can't take you anywhere, can I?" She wiped a tear away from her eye.
"And you're just
now
figuring this out?" Maggie winked impishly. "
How
long have you known me?"
"Long enough."
"I believe it's been at least two years now. Definitely long enough to know better than to let me loose in public without proper supervision."
"Yes, my mistake. What was I thinking? I guess I should get you back to your cave before you do something to embarrass us. OOPS...too late." Sasha muttered wryly.
