“And now?” Taylor asked, reaching for Avery’s huge, silly, fantastic belt buckle.

“And now I believe you mean it,” Avery said. “I feel so sexy when I’m with you. I’ve never felt like this with anyone before. I’ve felt pretty or whatever, but not sexy.” She reached for Taylor’s belt, too. “It feels amazing.”

Taylor loved not only that she’d done that for Avery, but also that Avery had told her about it. It felt like such a gift, for Avery to share that with her. She wanted to say that to Avery, but she didn’t know how. Instead, she unbuttoned Avery’s jeans.

“That’s always the goal. For you—for both of us—to have fun.” Taylor grabbed Avery’s hand and pulled her up from the couch and toward the bedroom. Avery kicked her jeans off on the way there and giggled. When they got into the bedroom, Taylor pulled open the bottom drawer of her nightstand.

“I was wondering—no pressure—if you thought playing around with one of these might be fun?” Taylor asked her.

Avery looked at the assortment of toys in the drawer. Taylorwas prepared for any reaction: shock, embarrassment, refusal, tentative agreement. But Avery surprised her yet again. She stared down at the toys for a while, and then looked at Taylor with dancing eyes.

“Only one way to find out,” she said. She reached in and grabbed one. “How about this one?”

The sight of Avery, clad only in a pair of hot pink bikini underwear, fondling a very large vibrator was one of the hottest things Taylor had ever seen. She took her own pants off immediately.

“Um, yes, that one is great,” she said. She pushed Avery down onto the bed, and Avery fell backward, still with that laughter in her eyes. Taylor pulled off her shirt and grabbed the vibrator from her, right before she knelt on the bed next to Avery.

“Hey, no fair, I wanted to play with that,” Avery said.

Taylor hooked her fingers around the waistband of Avery’s underwear and pulled them off.

“Don’t worry, you’ll get to play with this, all right,” she said. She turned it on, first to low power, then stronger, and Avery giggled.

“I’ve only ever heard that noise when I’ve been alone in my bedroom,” she said.

Taylor pushed at her knees, and Avery opened her legs wide.

“How do you like hearing it when you’re here in my bedroom?” Taylor asked. She slid the toy slowly in and out of Avery. She could see Avery’s face so well from this vantage point.

“I like hearing it,” Avery said. “But I like feeling it even better. And Ireallylike watching you do that.”

Taylor smiled as she moved the toy faster, harder.

“That’s good,” she said. “Because Ireallylike watching you do this.”

Avery opened her legs wider, and Taylor came in closer. Shekept it up with the toy as she bent down to suck on Avery’s nipples, first one, then the other. Avery let out a soft moan.

“You…have to promise me something,” Avery said.

“What?” Taylor asked.

“That I’ll get to do this to you next.”

Taylor grinned as she pinched one of Avery’s nipples.

“I promise.”

Two weeks later, Taylor groanedas she turned over in Avery’s bed.

“Do we really have to do this today?”

Avery laughed as Taylor nuzzled into her.

“You’re the one who lost the bet, you got us into this mess.”

Taylor threw a leg over Avery’s hip.
