"Hi Honey. You ok?"
"Sure. Just fine." Jean-Paul strode out of his study in a pair of Bermuda shorts and squeezed Lucy in an enthusiastic bear hug, kissing her firmly. "Shouldn't I be?"
"I called your office. They said you'd called in sick." Lucy's hands wiggled free of his embrace and rested on his chest. She couldn't help but admire the firm pectorals.
"I had an idea. I stayed home to work on it. Sorry, I should have let you know." He didn't show any inclination to put her down.
"You should! I nearly blew your excuse. Fortunately β for you β the guy who picked up your phone didn't know my voice." They really were spectacular pecs...
"Whatever." Jean-Paul seemed distracted by talk of work. "What did you do today?... Apart from fretting on me."
"Payroll. It's Wednesday. I always do payroll on Wednesdays. Remember?" Not just the chest either...
"I've made you something special." Jean-Paul's grip on her relaxed. The ground was under her feet once more.
"Dinner?" It was the abs too. Island girls should be scrubbing laundry on those abs then slapping the water out on his rock-like buns.
"Georgina and Pete invited us over for a cook-out tonight. Remember?"
"God, yes! I'd forgotten about that... So what is this something special?"
"This." Jean-Paul reached into his pocket and presented her with...
Well, it looked like her favourite vibrator, except it was double ended. That's not to say she could share it with a girlfriend: it was only four inches long. As Lucy turned it over in her hands, she noticed a hairline mark around the middle. She surmised it was the business end of two vibrators glued together. A white wire protruded from one end but seemed to lack the usual battery and controller on the other end. The wire just stopped about a foot from the plastic. Bare ends were twisted together.
"Some sort of Love egg? There's no controls." Lucy was puzzled. She had love eggs already.
"Just hold it in your left hand...so." Jean-Paul folded her fingers around the smooth plastic. "And touch yourself." Jean-Paul stepped back to observe Lucy's reactions.
"Touch myself?... With this?"
"No, with your other hand. Just hold that for now."
Lucy, bemused but always willing to play along with Jean-Paul's crazy games, pushed straight fingers past the waistband on her trousers and into her underwear. Jean-Paul watched the rhythmic movement of her knuckles under the fabric.
Lucy squealed, surprised. The silver thing was starting to vibrate in her hand. She stopped touching her crotch, pulling her hand back into daylight. The vibrator slowed and stopped.
"What the... How?" She asked.
"Bluetooth."
"Bluetooth?" Wasn't that something to do with cellular phones?
Jean-Paul pulled at the drawstring of his shorts and pushed them down. There was a small box, smaller than a lipstick, bandaided to his thigh and a wire connecting it to a rubber band around his penis. "The harder I get, the faster that vibrates." He pointed at his soft penis and the silver contraption still in her hand, pinched the rubber band, stretching it away from his penis and letting it back β gently.
The contraption β Lucy didn't know what she should call it β leapt to life, buzzing furiously then fell silent as quickly.
"So getting me to touch myself was just to give you a quick thrill?" Lucy should have known. Jean-Paul liked to watch her play with dolls β a phrase he'd coined when she'd owned up to losing her cherry to a Barbie doll.
"I cannibalised two old Bluetooth wireless adapters from work β Our new notebooks don't need them β so it only has a range of about 30 feet. I thought you could wear it when we go out. Then, if something turns me on, you'll be the first to know." His eyes glinted with mischief. He loved pushing the limits of what they could get away with in public.
"No fucking way! I am not going to spend an evening with all our neighbours with a vibrator in me that you have control over." Lucy was clearly unimpressed by the scheme.
"Don't trust me?"
"Of course I don't trust you. I haven't trusted you since that time on the L in New York. I still can't work our how you knew there was a news crew on the other platform."
"I've told you a hundred times. I didn't know they were filming there. I just wanted to see those commuter's expressions when you mooned them." His protestations of innocence fell on deaf ears β as usual.
"Six months and you still can't say that with a straight face. My parents saw that news report. Pop went on about it in graphic detail. Do you have any idea how not nice it is that he probably got a kick out of it?"
"Well can we at least try it out?" Jean-Paul was anxious to change the subject back to his new invention. He knew for a fact that Lucy's father had indeed got a Viagra moment out of her flash. And, yes, that was really a bit gross.
"Well, I was planning on fucking your brains out tonight but I guess, yes, we can play with this gizmo first." She brushed past him, contriving to stroke his still exposed limp penis en passant. In their bedroom, she took her time putting her suit on a hanger before reaching for the waistband of her panties.
"Put it in first." Jean-Paul urged. "Before it starts vibrating."
"Before you get hard you mean? Ok." She took some lubricant from the bedside drawer, slicked her fingers and the gizmo and, with her back to Jean-Paul, managed to slip the smooth plastic past her gusset and into her pussy. She straightened her pants, wiped the excess lube off her fingers with a tissue and turned back to him. "Now what?"
"Undress. Slowly." Jean-Paul's shorts were in a heap in the corner.
"Why don't I just get hold of you? That normally provokes a reaction."
"Because I don't want to get hard too fast. I want to test the sensitivity of this gadget."
