“Hey, can you bend down,” I said, and she gave me a puzzled look.

“Come on, lean down,” I said.

She did and I went around to her back and put my arms around her neck.

“Ready?” I asked and she seemed to know what I was trying to do.

“Go,” she said, and I jumped as she grabbed my legs in the piggyback position, hoisting me up higher.

“Oh, this is fun,” I said, leaning forward to speak in her ear. “Now I get to see the world from your position.”

She laughed and carried me into the house, fumbling a little with the sliding door. She didn’t let me down until she dumped me on the bed in her bedroom.

I bounced on the mattress and laughed.

“That was fun,” I said. “Thanks for the ride.”

Ryan gazed down at me with a speculative look on her face.

“What is it?” I asked.

“How do you feel about toys?” she asked.

I sat up and grinned at her. “Big fan. What did you have in mind?”

Ryan looked excited as she pulled something from under the bed. It looked like a vintage trunk, but it was probably new and distressed on purpose.

“Is that your goodie box?” I asked, turning onto my stomach and scooting to the end of the bed to watch her open it.

“I didn’t bring my entire collection, just my favorites. I didn’t plan on being with anyone this summer,” she said, unlocking the trunk and opening the lid.

Each toy had its own little cushioned spot. I’d never seen anything like it, and I’d seen Ezra’s collection on display.

“You’d get along with Joy’s girlfriend, Ezra. She does sex toy reviews,” I said.

“I’d like to talk to her,” she said, looking up at me, her eyes bright.

The box had trays on the top and I assumed there was more underneath, but for now, she selected a sleek black vibrator and then shut the trunk.

“Is it charged? I can’t count how many times I’ve been just about to come and the damn thing died.”

“You should see what happens when I regularly charge everything,” Ryan said. “It’s chaos.”

“I bet,” I said. “Hand it over.”

She gave me the vibrator and I turned it on. A soft buzzing filled the room.

“Nice,” I said and looked up at her. “Get naked.”

Ryan pulled everything off and I did the same. It would have felt strange to be clothed when she wasn’t.

Ryan lounged back on the pillows, a satisfied look on her face.

“You look like a queen,” I said, crawling up toward her to give her a kiss. I turned the vibrator on the lowest setting and skated it across her nipples, making her jump and twitch.

I skipped her stomach so it didn’t tickle and ran the vibrator up and down her center, coating it in her wetness.

I teased her clit with whisper soft touches before turning the level up, making Ryan let out a gasp.
