Shopping trip.

You know by now, I really did have a gift waiting for you, but… let's pretend for the moment that I didn't…

Because, today?

We're going shopping.

And not to just any store… 
Oh, no.

The kind of store where things buzz and bind and gleam under soft lights…

The deal is simple: we each get to pick one toy. Anything we want — so long as we both agree. But — whatever we choose?

We have to try it.

Together.

No take-backs. No hesitation. Just ‘yes’, once it's in the bag.

We wander the aisles, stupid grins on our faces, maybe giggling a bit here and there.

Until you pick something up.
Hold it for me to see.
A sly grin. One eyebrow raised…

And then your other brow lifts when you catch my eyes… the slow turn of my own grin, the wicked nod that says everything.

“Really?” you mouth.

I shrug.

Told you before, babe.

If you're down…

I'm down.

And maybe you change your mind, or maybe something else draws your eye… Mine, too, as we go back and forth…

You test me. I test back. And it becomes clear real fast:

There's no such thing as too far, not for you and me.

No such thing as too much.

And babe… the hottest thing?

It isn't what ends up in the bag…

It's the way your eyes sparkle when I say “Yes.”

The way you look back and say it too -

And mean it.

That's what we're dealing with here, babe. Not just toys. Not just pleasure. But permission. To want what you want. To ask. To try. And the promise that I'll be right there with you.

Every time.

So, what d'ya say?

Shall we go find out what makes us say “Yes”?

Yours.

PS — You might be too smart for me babe. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing that brilliance shine. I just hope you don't think I'm a bore when I take too long to get something…

PPS — That said: a wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to. Ahem.

PPPS — TIL that depending on how you look at tumblr, NSFW posts may not show up at all unless you've flipped some switch…

Well. This morning? The switch got flipped.

Just in time for things to disappear???

PPPPS — But, I mean…

Was that a promise? 😅

PPPPPS — Baby… I've got a small collection… They're a little… uh… single-minded. I'd been debating with myself when to share them with you, but, ngl…

Assuming I wasn't just chasing a ghost — and the wind didn’t shift because of some clumsy step of mine…

I think it's time.

Six nights. Six letters. Starting tomorrow.

You can step off any time you'd like. Or hit the pause button.

But god help you if you try to turn that knob up even more, babe…

‘Cause this fire?

It's already blazing.

PPPPPPS — But I mean, really…

If things disappeared because I've missed a beat somewhere? Say the word, baby. Because as much as I'm on fire to take you on this little six-part journey into depravity…

I'd rather listen than charge ahead blind.

I mean it.
