Never Let Go

Chapter 87: Slam Dunk

I pick up a candle and smell it before pulling a face. Ugh, the cinnamon is way too strong.

"It's a good idea, Amy, but how will I be able to do it?" I said as I placed back the candle.

"What do you mean?"

"Michael and I are always together, and I can't exactly have alone time when he's in the house."

"Don't worry, I'll tell Wesley to invite him over or something."

"Really?" I chuckle. "I feel kind of bad, though."

"Why?" She laughs.

"Well, we're talking about ways to get Michael out of his own home so I can... touch myself." I whisper.

"He will only be gone a couple of hours. You're not kicking him out. And it's not about touching yourself, it's about finding ways to reconnect with yourself and to feel sexy and comfortable in your own skin. It's good and healthy to have some alone time now and again. Don't feel bad. I'm sure if you told Michael about it, he would encourage you to do it if it meant that it was helping you. And if it helps speed things up in the bedroom too, I bet he would say it's a good idea." She smirks.

"Probably." I laugh softly.

"So, let's see." She said as she looked down at the shopping basket. "We've got vanilla and lavender scented candles, some bubble bath, and a clay face mask."

"Yeah, I'm not sure what else I would need?" I shrug.

"Ok, we'll get this and go to the sex boutique." She grins.

I raise my eyebrows and laugh.

"I don't think I need any toys. I'm already worried about Michael's dick being inside me."

"You don't have to get a dildo." She laughs. "I was thinking more so massage oil, lube, lingerie..."

"I didn't realise you knew so much about all this stuff." I smirk.

"Well, I'm a lady in the street." She smirks back.

"But a freak in the bed." I finish her sentence, and we have a little giggle together.

"Don't act all innocent, Maya. I know how freaky you and Michael are behind closed doors. You've told me how exhausted y'all get."

"Yeah, it's always the quiet ones." I smirk.

"And we're the best kind." She grins.

We look around the store one more time before purchasing our items and head over to the sex boutique. It's actually the first time I have ever been in a place like this, and I can't believe how many different sex products there are. They have everything you could imagine in here! I take a look at everything with Amy, but it's a bit intimidating to me at the moment. We move away from the toys and gadgets and find some massage oils and lubes.

I pick up a bottle of lube called glow and read the description.

"Oh, what's that one?" Amy asks.

"It's a sensational warming lubricant. Designed to enhance sensitivity, its slick water-based formula offers long-lasting glide for intimate pleasure that will leave you glowing and tingling." I smirk.

"Damn, that sounds good. I might get myself one." She raises her eyebrows and takes one off the shelf.

"It does sound good." I chuckle.

"Some of these flavoured ones sound disgusting." Amy pulls a face. "Mint chocolate?"

"Ugh, yeah, and peppermint?" I make a face.
