A butt plug

She tossed a small object at Eldwyn, and she caught it automatically. It was a metal butt plug, much like the one Lucas had given her, but smaller, and with a small gem on the base.

"Not too big, is it?"

"N-no," she said, then gasped as she realized what she had just admitted. "I... I mean—"

"Hmm, all right," Audrey said unflappably, replacing it with another. "How about that one, then?"

It was significantly bigger, about as thick as Lucas' member, but much shorter. Before she could make up her mind, though, Audrey had replaced it with yet another one. "Or this one?"

This one's width was at least twice as wide at its broadest. It was longer too, with with bizarre bumps all over its surface. It was almost grotesque. Surely no one could fit something as huge as that inside of themselves? She hastily placed it back on the shelf, and grabbed Audrey's arm before she could pick out another one.

"Audrey, stop... What are we doing here?"

"Don't ask me, you're the one who wanted to come here."

"What? No, I didn't!"

Audrey waved away her objection. "All right, fine, but you want to make up with Lucas, right? Trust me, he's going to love some of the things here."

Eldwyn wavered. "Are you sure?"

"Definitely. We'll find some things that'll make you both very happy. If I know Lucas, he's going to forget all about your fight as soon as you show him."

"Well... all right."

"Good!" Audrey replied, beaming. "So, which one did you want? The small one, the middle one, or the big one?"

Eldwyn hesitated. The small one was pointless, in her opinion. It was even smaller than the one she already had, and she could take that one with little trouble now. The big one was strangely fascinating, bizarre though it was, but in the end it scared her more than it aroused her. She picked up the middle one. It had a nice size, and now that Lucas had helped her get used to thicker penetrations, she felt up for it. "I'll take this one."

Audrey nodded, then once more took her by the hand. Compliantly, Eldwyn let herself be dragged down another aisle. Audrey started picking out items seemingly at random, presenting them to Eldwyn and gauging her reaction. First, a short whip, which Eldwyn immediately rejected. Thankfully, Audrey didn't press the issue.

Next was a collar with leash. Her first—naive—thought was that it was for a hound, but then she realized it would be for her to wear. Even more shocking was that she found that the notion of being led around by Lucas like some kind of **** was incredibly arousing. Audrey did not fail to notice her instinctive response and took it as acquiescence. It could have been worse, though: at least she was spared any kind of knowing glance or a suggestive smirk.

Right next to it laid a contraption consisting of a leather strap with a red ball attached to it. Audrey mimed putting the ball in her mouth and the strap behind her head, and without even waiting for Eldwyn's approval this time, added it to the pile.

After that she picked out a set of leather cuffs, connected with a short piece of chain, but she put that back, again without asking her.

"Wait, Audrey!" She exclaimed, bringing her friend to a halt. "What... what if he doesn't like this kind of thing?"

"Are we talking about the same person? Trust me, Lucas will love it, trust me on that." Audrey replied.

She reached into her pocket, took out her purse and handed her some more coins. "Here, go pay for these things."

Eldwyn thought to argue, but Audrey gave her a stern look and she gave in. She went up to the counter and laid the items onto it, blushing deeply. Cedhron began to calculate how much she owed him, but that didn't stop him from simultaneously grinning at her lewdly and striking up a conversation. "So, gonna have a fun evening with your girlfriend, eh?"

"What? She's not my girlfriend!" she protested, though she could feel her cheeks heat up even more.

"Sure, honey," he said, chuckling. "If you say so. Two silvers and five coppers for the lot." She wordlessly handed him the coins, picked up the paper bag he handed back to her.

"Enjoy," he said, snickering suggestively.

She took the bag and quickly caught up with Audrey, who was waiting by the door.

Audrey didn't fail to notice Eldwyn's discomfort and took her arm. "I know, he's a creep."

"I thought you were friends?"

"Friends? Not exactly, but there aren't many places in the city where you can buy things like these, so we just have to put up with it. Just tell him off next time, then he'll stop bothering you."

Next time? If she never saw that sorry excuse of a man again, it'd be too soon.

"So, what now?" Audrey asked.

"I think I'd like to go home now."

"Sure, but that's not what I meant. What are you going to do now? About Lucas, I mean?"

Eldwyn's shoulders slumped. "I don't know."

"Don't be so glum, we'll figure something out." Audrey replied, squeezing her comfortingly. "Actually, I have an idea! We'll kill two birds with one stone. You probably need a job, right? Some way to make a bit of money while you figure things out? Come do a shift in my bar tomorrow night. We're short a waitress anyway, and I'm sure I've got a uniform that'll fit you. I'll tell Lucas to be there too, and you can talk to him there. And if you do a good job, I can keep you on, give you a few shifts a week. It doesn't pay much, but a cutie like you will get plenty of tips. I figure it should be enough to cover your rent at that tavern you're staying at."

"Really?" Eldwyn asked. "You'd do that for me?"

"Sure! It's a bit of a rough crowd, but I've got them tamed pretty well by now, you'll be fine." She pulled a piece of paper from her pocked and jotted down an address. "Be here tomorrow at dusk, we'll get you settled."

Eldwyn flung her arms around Audrey's neck. Her friend was taken aback for a moment, but soon returned the embrace.

"Thank you so much," Eldwyn said, her throat tight with emotion.

Audrey smiled warmly and patted Eldwyn's back. "You're very welcome."
