I can’t remember the last time someone other than West came out to the house. About midafternoon, a few hours before Charlie is supposed to arrive, I’m suddenly possessed with the urge to straighten things up. I’ve spent less than a day with him and he’s already rubbing off on me.

Dante is very upset when I vacuum and glares from the corner. Juniper sleeps through all the chaos. About halfway through my attempts to fold my dish towels in three the way I remember my mom doing when I was a kid, I suddenly realize that I’m nervous. Of what? Charlie doesn’t make me nervous. But somehow, having him in my home does.

He said he needed casual, and I can sympathize with his need to take things slow. So I’m overdoing it. Sex. No bank robberies, no interior design photoshoots. Just sex. That’s what we’re doing.

I manage to walk away from the towels, but I’m sitting on my sofa wondering if I should have gotten a new carpet for the living room when a knock sounds on the door.

Too late for the carpet. Thank goodness for small mercies.

Dante barks and dances in circles as I let Charlie in.

“Hey. Hi. Sorry.”

“For what?” I ask.

Charlie pauses on the doorstep and frowns. “What?”

“You apologized. What are you sorry for?”

“Oh. Um. Nothing. Just a habit, I guess.”

And somehow, Charlie’s flustered glances as he steps around Dante and unzips his jacket are exactly what I need so that suddenly the dish towels and the carpet and every other thing are once again someone else’s problem.

I lean in and kiss Charlie’s cheek. “It’s good to see you.”

He smiles shyly. “Thanks. It’s good to see you too.”

He’s holding a black gift bag at his side, and the way he’s glancing around the room says he might have even forgotten it’s there.

“Is that for me?” I ask.

“What? Oh.” He rummages into the bag. “No. I guess . . . I mean . . . maybe. I think it’s sort of for both of us.” As he speaks, he lifts out what I initially think is a tree branch and then a carving. It’s only when he pulls out the second item, about eight inches long and slightly curved, shaped like a string of little knobs or beads that I realize what he’s brought.

“Is that a wooden dildo?”

If Charlie’s face gets any pinker, I’m going to have to call the paramedics. “Vann makes them,” he says.

So this is a sexy hostess gift?

“I said you should bring some toys you like. If you don’t like toys, we don’t need them.”

Charlie flings himself down on my sofa, face in his dismayed hands. “That’s what Vann said.”

For a minute, I’m worried I’ve made a terrible mistake. I like a submissive partner, but whatever Charlie’s going through may need more than sex to fix. But then Dante hops up next to Charlie and licks his ear, and even Juniper emerges from where she’s been snoozing on my bed and curls up at his feet, and if my dogs like someone, he can’t be all bad.
