I had been itching to get to him the moment I got to work. I'd been pacing around since six, watching ambivalently while jubilant couples poured in and out of the shop all day, hastily purchasing their massage oils and toys and rushing home to apply them. Naturally it would be busy, and our colorful display of Valentine's Day dildos, ruby colored anal beads and cherry flavored condoms shone gloriously like a priapic monolith in the middle of the store. I wasn't as tickled about V-Day just yet. Instead of hungrily lapping up every inch of my lover I was stuck in here, selling sex paraphernalia...to everyone else.
"Oops, forgot my Silkie!" A blushing customer snatched her obnoxiously lavender vibrator off the counter and ran out the door giggling, hand in hand with her man, off to do lascivious and dirty things to each other...things I could be doing to Liam...I was pouting. Hard. That should be MY Silkie...
My friend Lizzy, all smiles, happily batched out of her register.
"Glory be, mid shift is over!" She said, grinning as she perused the incredible-edibles shelf.
"What do you think I should bring home to David?" She asked, pawing the chocolate body frosting.
"Well, he's all the chocolate you'll ever need, so branch out. What would compliment that coco hide of his?"
Lizzy laughed.
"How about the strawberry?" She handed me the tub of frosting.
"Sounds good, girly." I said, and rang her up.
"Aw, don't be so glum, Mandy," she soothed, reading my face as I slumped to my elbows on the counter. "You'll be off in a few hours and there will be licking, sucking, and fucking aplenty. Chin up. And don't be so blah to the customers, this is supposed to be a happy day!"
"Lizzy, the customers don't care if the sex shop cashier is blah. They just wanna go home and invade orifices as quickly as possible. And it's not a happy day for everyone. What about all those sad singles out there who'd kill for just one slovenly drunken fuck with a total stranger? What about them, huh?"
"Well, you can do the Christian thing and take care of them after you see Liam." Lizzy flashed one more smile at me and skipped out the door.
"Excuse me, how much are the riding crops?" A statuesque gentleman waved the thing in my face while his stunning boyfriend attempted to clip on a spiked dog collar. I sighed and did a price check.
Six hours later I furiously swept the store, rearranged a stand of fetish magazines, cleared the computers, locked the doors and with a bag of goodies floored it down Main Street. The beatific glow of the streetlights outside his apartment complex made my heart start to pound a little faster. I sprinted out of the car, flew through the courtyard and when I reached his door did a once over -- made sure the tits were perky, the shirt was unbuttoned just a bit, my hair was smoothed down, one more application of lip gloss -- and we're good. I whipped out my cell and called him.
"Hello?" My guy's voice. I love my guy's voice.
"Come and get me." I said, shifting excitedly from one foot to the other.
"K."
The door opened and before I could launch myself at him, he had his hands on my hips and pulled me into the doorway for a heavy, frantic, and beautifully sloppy kiss. In a flash we were a tangle of hungry hands and lips and it didn't even matter that I dropped my candy bag on the way in. The door was somehow shut and locked behind us and we manically tore off articles of clothing on the trip to his room. Once inside he pushed me onto his bed. By now my shirt was torn open and some buttons had fallen into my bra, and my jeans were halfway down my thighs with one sock clinging to the tips of my toes. He was shirtless with one leg out of his slacks and his boxers were awkwardly pulled down just enough so his hard cock hung over the elastic. We were a happy mess. He was beautiful.
"I love you," I said smiling.
