"Why do sex shops always have to look so... dark and cringy? It's like we are still in the 70s or something. They make me feel dirty just by stepping inside," I said while we crossed the door into one of them.
"I guess people still think they have to hide what they like. I just come to get what I need; I don't mind what it looks like," my partner answered.
We paced around a bit, exploring. We wanted to introduce some toys in our sex life, you know, to spice it up. Or rather, I had decided to give that a try; Elisa was pretty knowledgeable in that regard. As always, I felt like there wasn't much for me in there: porn videos with women that looked like they were more in pain than in pleasure, gigantic dildos which definitely would not fit inside me, blow-up dolls... I already had a vibrator at home that served me fine, but Elisa was always looking for new stuff to try and wanted to have something for the both of us, so here we were.
We drifted apart in the shop. I went to the costume section and she continued to search for an updated vibrator. I still didn't see anything for me here. My eyes wandered aimlessly, seeing everything, but taking in nothing.
Oh, hold on. I went back a few steps. Something in a dark red colour had caught my eye. I stroked it with the tips of my fingers. I had a weakness for this material: silk dresses, blouses and scarves lined my wardrobe. I introduced my hand through the hole at the end and pulled it towards me. The silk tightened around my wrist. Oh, so that's what it was for. I looked at it in more detail. It had two holes, one for the arm and another one for whatever you wanted to be tied to.
The softness of the bondage helped me decide. I was taking this home. The image of myself with my legs wide open on our bed, all my extremities restrained by red silk scarves already had me moist down below.
I went to the counter. I'm ashamed to say how much I paid for this, so I won't mention it. I will only say it was definitely worth it. Surprised, Elisa came over and tried to pry into my bag to see what I had bought. I kept it tight shut, just to tease her. I took her hand and led the way out of the shop. We were going home; I needed some tending to.
The underground was crowded, so we had to stand close together. As the people on the train increased, we got nearer and nearer. Elisa was still trying to get a hold of the contents of my bag, thinking that she was being discreet about it. But I felt like it should be a surprise, so to distract her I started kissing her. I covered her lips with mine; I teased her with my tongue. People were trying to move away from us, but there wasn't much space, which made it even more enjoyable for me.
I had effectively shifted Elisa's attention when we finally got to our stop. Although we had been hugging in the underground, I was already aching for Elisa's touch again, specifically under my clothes, but we still had a long walk to our door. I knew I wouldn't be able to make it without a petting session. Fortunately, it was dusk outside, the perfect time for lovers. When we exited the underground, I put my hand in the back pocket of her trousers and walked on briskly. I pulled Elisa into a sideway we knew well and kissed her again. Not that it was any darker than the main street, but I guess it gave us an illusion of privacy. I avidly pushed my hands under her T-shirt and was glad to find that she wasn't wearing a bra. She laughed against my lips and in a whisper she asked:
- What is in that bag? It's been ages since you were so uncontrollable - she smiled at me and stroked my face. With a finger on my chin, she led me to her mouth again, her tongue circling my lips.
