Money well spent

After work comes to an end once more, you find yourself at Adela's table, sipping down a cup of coffee before she asks "Could we talk?"

"Of course. What's on your mind?"

"Well, we've been using the cuffs for a bit, and I know that at some point we'll want to start using actual rope, but... I think we should maybe get some help with that?"

"Yeah, I mean the girl that sold me the cuffs said that rope play can be risky if done wrong."

"Right."

"Maybe we can ask at the sex shop?"

"I guess that's a good starting place."

"Sounds like a date."

Adela giggles for a second. "Really?"

"Yeah. I mean why not? I mean it's your body, so you should have some input, right?"

"Well, guess when you put it like that it makes sense."

"Sure."

"I mean we could go now, if you wanted."

"I mean today was payday, so we could even go out if you want?"

Adela raises an eyebrow. "Yeah?"

"Yeah? Whaddya say?"

"I say that's a date. Just let me get dressed up."

"Sure."

The two of you head to Love+ first. This time at the counter, you find an older man wearing an orange dress shirt and a smile on his face.

"Hello there." He says, with a hint of a British accent. "Can I help you at all?"

"Uh yeah actually, I think you can." You say.

The clerk raises an eyebrow. "Yes?"

"Well, see, my girlfriend and I have been experimenting with bondage play, like restraints and stuff, and we wanna try ropes but... I've heard it can be a bit dangerous if not done correctly."

"That's absolutely true. Are you looking for some guidance?"

"Yeah. We were wondering if you could point us in the right direction?"

"Absolutely. Are the two of you looking for a private session of some sort?"

You turn to Adela, meeting with her eyes. "Well, I mean... I think so?"

"Oh don't worry, I don't bite. Plus, I'm not interested in women, if that's a concern." Charlie interjects.

"I think it's a good idea." Adela says.

"Well, I guess can't argue with that." You state, to which the man smiles.

"Wise man. You know, I've got some time tomorrow afternoon and if you were to make a few purchases, maybe I could give you a basic lesson."

"Yeah, that works for us."

"Perfect. I'm Charlie by the way."

"Adela."

"Oscar."

"Alright, come with me."

Charlie then leads you around the store, first grabbing a thick book on ropeplay. Next, he takes you down an aisle where he grabs a set of two silk ropes with metal ends. After handing it all to you, he asks "Anything else?"

"Any recommendations?" Adela asks.

"Well, I always think the addition of a blindfold can make bondage more exciting as it keeps your submissive guessing."

"What do you think?" You ask Adela.

"I think it sounds hot." She replies.

"Come with me."

Charlie takes you to one more aisle, where there are a variety of blindfolds. Adela looks over them and soon decides on a red one. Now satisfied, the three of you head back to the counter where Charlie says "So, that'll be fifty-eight dollars."

"Sure." With a wave of your credit card, you pay for the goods.

"See you guys tomorrow." Charlie slides a business card towards you. "My address is on the back."

"Thanks."

After paying for the goods, you hail an Uber that takes the two of you to Calabresi. There, you prepare to spend liberally, remembering the results of the last time you were here. You even make sure to order a bottle of Stumbling Fox. It all goes down swiftly, just like the money you received today when you pay for everything.

Heading back outside, Adela says "You didn't have to pay for everything you know."

"Oh, I'm sure it'll be worth it." You say, daring to squeeze Adela's ass through her dress.

"So that was your plan all along huh?"

"Guilty."

Adela bites her lip. "Well, I better give you your money's worth?"
