Maddy put down her brush and stepped back from the easel, feeling happy with her progress on the work so far. She ran her eyes over the large canvas from one side to the other. "Yep. That seems to work..." she said aloud to herself, satisfied that the changes seemed to have made the difference she had been seeking. The painting was the rear view of an attractive nude woman, apparently just having recently stepped out of her shower, her generously curvy body reclining on a couch which stood beneath a window.
The woman's dark curly hair cascaded down across her back like a waterfall, while her damp and sensual skin was lit by a single light source from above. Maddy smiled contentedly, tilting her head and checking out the quality of the light glistening off the woman's ass in particular. She had decided to change the angle of the light-source as it shone down upon the woman's damp skin and was now convinced that the changes worked correctly.
She rinsed out her brush and stood it in the drain pot, deciding to take a well-earned shower herself as a reward for her work. It had been warm in the studio today, the August Hampshire sun shining incessantly on the window had caused her to work with the blinds closed practically all morning. It will be good to shower, relax and chill out for at least a little while before she continued working on the painting later.
Maddy stepped out of the studio, intending to head straight upstairs to the en-suite bathroom, just in time for her plan to be interrupted by the gentle ringing of her doorbell. She spun around and opened the front door of her cottage.
"Hi Maddy!" She was greeted by the beaming smile of her neighbours' son Ben, standing almost to attention on the doorstep with a parcel in the palm of his upturned hand.
"Hi Ben...good to see you. How's it going?"
The handsome teenager smiled broadly and nodded. "I'm fine thank you," he replied cheerily, unable to resist running his eyes over the woman's tight t-shirt and the firm and shapely breasts it contained, before looking up to her face again. "Mum asked me to call over and give you this parcel. It came yesterday while you were out and she totally forgot to give it to you, sorry."
Maddy took the package he was offering her and grinned. She'd noticed the interest he showed in her shapely body, as this had not been the first time he had done something similar. But what was different today was that he did it while holding her parcel; it's box wrapped securely within plain brown paper, to hide what the mysterious package contained. Had he suspected what was in it? No... surely not, how could he? The package was unmarked and, to the touch, contained a rectangular box but had nothing which could identify it. Ben was barely nineteen and surely had never come across a parcel like this before, but what if his mother had? Maybe she might have guessed the contents judging by the shape, size and weight of the parcel.
Lost in her thoughts for a moment, she realised that Ben was still standing in the doorway, his body shifting uncomfortably from side to side as he continued to inspect her t-shirt and potentially undress her with his eyes.
"Wow...that's great Ben, thank you! Make sure you thank your Mum for taking it in. It's my new electric toothbrush. My old one packed up and I've been using a manual model for a few weeks, but it's not the same."
Electric toothbrush my fanny, she thought to herself, believing it to be a lame excuse but the best thing she could think of under the circumstances. Ben grinned in response and shrugged, giving her a dismissive 'not really interested' look.
"New toothbrush hey? Well I hope it has batteries supplied..." he paused suddenly, straightening up as he realised he had a way of spending more time with his attractive and very cute neighbour. "...or would you like me to go the shop and get some for you?" he added.
"No thanks," Maddy replied kindly, shaking her head. "It's too kind of you, but I'm sure they have supplied batteries or a charger with it, or something."
Ben's shoulders dropped dejectedly.
"But are you sure you don't want to open it and check before I leave you? I can come in and wait while you check it over."
Unfortunately for Ben she knew exactly what he was up to and she wasn't going to fall for it one little bit. Maddy smiled politely and took a step back into the hallway, closing the door a few inches.
"No, it's fine...really it is, Ben. Thanks for the offer though. But if you'll excuse me I have to go and carry on working. Make sure you say hello and thanks to your Mum for me as well!"
Without another word she stepped back and closed the door firmly in his face.

Maddy went straight upstairs, taking the package along with her.
She couldn't help but chuckle to herself as she climbed the stairs, at the thought of her young neighbour holding her new vibrator in his hand without even knowing it. But how could he know? Maybe his mother had been nosey, and opened the package to see what was inside. But that wasn't likely. Maddy didn't know her all that well, but she just couldn't imagine Margo doing such a thing.
Throwing the package down onto the bed, she glanced at the clock on the wall. Twelve-thirty p.m. Plenty of time to have a few minutes to herself and be ready for the carpet fitter calling at two.
She stepped into her en-suite bathroom and turned on the flow of water, the room soon starting to fill up with a cloud of steam as she stepped out to undress herself. The package was in the centre of the bed where she had left it. She picked it up and tore open one end of the brown paper wrapper, not being able to resist taking a look at her latest purchase.
Maddy felt a tentative twinge inside her as she opened the box and took out it's contents-- a black dildo vibrator, over 7 inches long and made of flexible silicone. The toy had a perfectly formed and realistic glans at its tip, with a series of three-dimensional veins running down the sides to increase the sensations for the user as the toy was pushed inside the body. Maddy sighed with satisfaction, for the vibe was highly detailed, even down to the realistic folds of foreskin beneath its head. There might not be time to test this out at the moment, but she would no doubt ensure she made time in the evening to test out the capabilities of this bad boy after the carpet fitter had gone.
