Chapter TEN

TIM ROLLED his eyes, earning a chuckle from both Poppa and Gloria on the other side of the counter. He wanted to go and find a certain writer of a blockbuster excuse for kink lit and kick her in the ass. In the past few weeks, he’d been playing interference in keeping newbs from hurting themselves or others.

Normally it would be wonderful work, but one could only say “real-life BDSM involves communication, so you can’t just ‘surprise’ your sweetie with handcuffs and a butt plug” so many times in so many ways before one considered spiking his next coffee with Irish cream and whiskey.

“Ever licked a frozen lamppost as a child?” Tim replied over the phone, keeping his voice as sweet as ever. It wasn’t the fault of the newbies. They just needed a more experienced guide.

“Well, I saw that scene in A Christmas Story,” the wannabe Dom on the other end answered. “What’s that got to do with an ice dildo?”

“Ice sticks to skin, vaginas, and tongues, so if you try to put one into your lady friend, what do you think will happen?”

“…oh.”

Gloria leaned on the counter and mimed eating popcorn. Tim glared at her and replied, “See, playing with ice can be fun, but it’s gotta be wet ice. A layer of water will prevent sticking. Also, telling her what you plan on doing will keep her from nearly leaping off the bed at the first touch. Give her a chance to refuse. Not everyone is crazy about cold play. The type of play and the band.”

Wannabe didn’t even respond to Tim’s joke. “But if we’re playing and she’s my submissive, isn’t she supposed to just accept what I want?”

Tim’s eyes widened. Emergency, emergency, educate immediately before this poor girl gets hurt. “Not if you don’t want a pissed-off girlfriend. Look, if you’re serious about this kind of play, we have a great bookstore right here next to the shop with a good selection of 101 books. You can learn negotiation and communication and all sorts of ways to make this fun for both of you.”

A click answered Tim’s suggestion and he put the headset down. “I wish I could trace a number and find this fucker’s girlfriend before he sends her to the hospital.”

Poppa, who was in the “safe” section with the porn, snorted. “How you don’t reach through that phone and strangle someone is beyond me.”

“This from the man who was so sure no one wanted advice from a ‘swishy little queen’ like me,” Tim said with a soft smile. “You know if you buy one of those, the TSA is going to have a field day searching your bags.”

“I ain’t buying nothing from here, boy,” Poppa grunted, but his eyes didn’t move.

Gloria’s grin nearly split her face in half as she started to slink toward the section. “Oh really?”

“Oh Lord.” Tim covered his face with his hands. If anyone could convince a shy customer to buy something tame, it was Gloria. “You’re ringing him up, and I don’t even wanna see it.
