I pulled my collar up as if I could hide behind it and tucked my head down low. I could see the headlines all over the sports blogs already. Tripp Powers, spotted in Vegas sex shop. What would my mother say?

Nicola didn’t seem the least bit embarrassed to be there. He walked in like he owned the place. Sometimes, I wished I had half his confidence. I used to be a lot more confident before my head injury. Then it was everything anyone wanted to talk about for months. Between my injury, the recovery, and retirement, it felt like I’d had a camera in my face every day for almost a year.

“Hi, there. Anything I can help you find?” came a chipper female voice at my side.

I almost shrieked and jumped out of my skin before I realized she was speaking to Nicola.

He flashed her a wide smile and curled his arm around mine. “No, thank you. I think we’d just like to browse.”

The woman—who was human with pink hair—smiled back. “If you need anything, just shout and I’ll be right there!” she said and grabbed a box from a pile on the floor before walking away.

I let out a relieved breath and eyed a tall display of little neon vibrators, deciding whether to duck behind them. Maybe I could hide there until Nicola found what he wanted. I wasn’t even sure why he’d made me come in to begin with. I didn’t want anything in there. He could buy whatever he wanted, and I’d be just as happy to help him use it.

Oh, God. My face felt like it was on fire.

“Tripp, darling, are you all right? I’ve never seen you so flushed.” He flapped his wings, rising to place a hand on my forehead. “You’re not feverish.”

I pulled away from him. “No, I’m just…” I leaned in to whisper. “How can you be so cool about this? What if someone recognizes you?”

Nicola blinked once and then laughed, flying past me to a giant wall of lube bottles on display. He picked one from near the top and flew back down, putting it in the little plastic basket he had on his arm. “You mean what if someone discovers I like hot, gay sex? How absolutely scandalous. How dare consenting adults enjoy themselves in the privacy of their own homes! What is the world coming to? Someone sound the alarm! The sky is falling! The gays are having fun again!”

“All right, I get it,” I mumbled. “Just…keep your voice down, okay?”

He tilted his head to the side. “Let me see if I’ve got this right. You’re totally okay with being painted in the tabloids as a playboy with a woman on each arm, but being seen in a sex shop is a bridge too far? Why?”

“I don’t know,” I said, rubbing the back of my head and trying not to look around. “It’s just weird, I guess.”

“And why is it weird?” He moved to the first aisle, browsing casually like he was searching for produce and not a dildo.
