This short story was an entry in the Valentine's Day Contest in 2009. It didn't win anything, but did have some good reader comments. Please enjoy it, and if it's near that special day, then Happy Valentine's Day.

Tina, my wife's sister, was single, attractive, and in her mid-thirties. I'd often told my wife I might have married the wrong sister, but only in a playful way. Sometimes she told me she wished I had so that she could be the sister-in-law that jumped my bones, but didn't have to put up with whatever my bad habit of the day was. Kim, my wife, is equally pretty and sports a trim body, great looking legs, and breasts that I love to sink my face into when we make love. Both Kim and Tina still have the same gorgeous physique!
Kim and I drove to Tina's for the long Valentine's Day weekend. After we got our luggage inside, I volunteered to make myself useful by doing a project or two around her condo while she and my wife talked. Tina assigned me the task of installing some new shelves in her closet. She had tools and shelving, all the things needed for the installation. I accepted the assignment and then shooed Tina and my wife away to 'catch up' and enjoy each other while I worked.
The first part of my task was to empty the closet where the shelves were to go. I piled the clothing up on Tina's bed, and then started to move some old shoeboxes from the closet to a temporary location.
As I did, one of the boxes fell apart revealing an assortment of sex toys. I studied my find for a minute: mink encrusted handcuffs, a two-headed dildo, a large vibrator, a butterfly with a remote control, some KY jelly, an egg with a remote control, and a couple of anal plugs. Just for kicks I turned on the remote for the egg; the device came to life and rattled away in the box. I turned it off and tried unsuccessfully to repair the box, finally setting it carefully aside on the bed so it wouldn't disintegrate further.
The shelving took me a couple of hours to custom fit to the odd shape of the closet. When I finished, however, the new shelves provided more surface to store things on and everything would be easier to find. With two closet rods where there had been one, no hanging space had been lost either yet there was still plenty of room for Tina's boxes, shoes, and boots.
As I started to put things back in the closet, I decided to be a little more organized and put like things near like things. The clothes were easy then I started to peek into the shoeboxes trying to decide which shelf to put them on.
Shoe boxes with shoes in them went back on the floor. Several boxes contained computer cables and printer supplies; things like that went on the bottom shelf. The next shelf up contained some tax records and receipts.
Then I found a box with sexy thongs, edible underwear, a couple of porn DVDs, a microscopic bikini and another vibrator of gigantic proportions. Apparently, my sister-in-law had more of a sex life than my wife and I gave her credit for.
I put the box I'd just found with the box I'd found earlier on the fourth shelf, right about chest level.
I carefully arranged the other things she wanted in the closet and then stood back and marveled at my work.
About that time Kim and Tina came back into the bedroom to see my progress.
"Oh, fantastic," Tina exclaimed. "You've finished, and you've put everything I wanted in there. Will I find things when I need them?" She poked at the lower shelf, then the next shelf up and then the next, and then ...
Suddenly, I could see her neck redden as she realized I'd found the two boxes with her sex toys and clothing.
"Oops," she said to no one in particular. Over her shoulder she said, "You weren't supposed to find those. I forgot to hide them before you worked in here. The fact I forgot is a commentary on how bad that part of my life has been."
"Forgot about what?" Kim asked ignorant of what the boxes contained.
After a long silence, I answered; "Tina has a couple of boxes of sex toys and related stuff I wasn't supposed to see."
Kim said, "Oh, I want to see. Bring them out." She was insistent and with reluctance Tina brought out the two boxes. I explained how one box had fallen apart on me as I'd touched it.
"That's because I used to use it all the time," Tina said candidly in an embarrassed tone and with a continued blush.
"ALL the time?" I questioned in a tease.
"Yea, pretty much. Single life is not all it's cooked up to be. Right now, I'm like an eunuch."
"What's this?" Kim asked, holding up the butterfly.
"It's a butterfly," Tina told her.
"How do you use it? What's it do?" my wife asked.
Tina explained how to wear it and that part of it rested against your clitoris and vibrated when you worked the remote control.
