On the hazy, sun-drenched afternoon of her 18th birthday, Jamie's life shimmered with the promise of adulthood. It seemed like everything was changing. She had just graduated high school and was getting ready to go to college. She was now old enough to make her own decisions, and she knew she needed to prepare to support herself. Despite this, Jamie couldn't shake the feeling that she was still the same old naive, quiet, shy, and innocent girl that she'd always been.
After eating dinner with her Aunt and Uncle, Jamie made her excuses and headed up to her room. Her parents had died at a young age, and she'd gone to live with her mother's sister. Aunt Kira and Uncle Paul were the only family she had left, and Jamie was so grateful for everything they'd done for her. Given that her parents were dead and she had very few friends, Jamie never liked to make a fuss for her birthdays. So she did what she would have any other night after dinner. She showered, put on her favorite silk shorts and camisole, and settled into bed with a book.
After about an hour of reading, Jamie heard a gentle knock on the door.
"Come in," she said softly.
Kira entered the room, also dressed for bed. Her blond hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and she wore a t-shirt and shorts. In her hand was a small gift bag.
"Can I sit?" Kira asked. Jamie nodded.
"I know you're not one for birthdays, but I brought you a gift. Plus, I needed to talk to you about something."
"Okay..." Jamie trailed off expectantly.
"So now that you're 18, you're officially a woman. There are some things you need to know, and I know this is awkward-"
"Aunt Kira, if you're trying to give me 'The Talk,' I already learned about this in school," Jamie said, blushing furiously.
"Well, yes. But there are some things that likely weren't covered in school." Kira hedged.
"Like what?"
"Like... well, I think you'd better open this." Kira handed over the gift bag. Jamie opened it hesitantly, as if she expected to find a spider or something equally horrible inside. But inside the bag was a box, and inside the box was a vibrator. Not that Jamie knew what it was yet.
"You can use it to pleasure yourself," Kira explained.
"Pleasure myself?"
"Yes, you can use this on your private areas to make yourself feel really good."
Jamie's flush grew deeper, "But I'm a virgin, won't it hurt?"
"On the contrary, it will probably feel amazing." Kira took something out of the bag, though Jamie couldn't see what. Before she knew it, her Aunt had taken her wrist and tightened something around it, attaching the other end to her bed.
"What are you doing?" Jamie exclaimed, realizing the cold metal link that was now tightened against her wrist was a handcuff. She began pulling at it. Kira used Jamie's surprise to her advantage, and seized her other hand, cuffing it to the other side of the bed.
"Is this a prank? It's not funny! Uncle Paul! Uncle Paul!" Jamie yelled out, pulling at the cuffs.
