Bribing Mariel with a special gift

As Barbara and Mariel closed in on the Always Open set, Barbara came up with an idea.

"You go ahead Mariel," said Barbara, stopping outside her office door, "I need to get something from in here quickly."

"Ok!" said Mariel, continuing to run to the set.

Barbara went into her office and found the present that she had bought Mariel the night before. She grabbed the box and sprinted over to the set. When she arrived she found that Mariel had already taken her usual position on the leftmost seat, and was staring intently at Mica's boobs while the latter was talking. Barbara took her seat just seconds before the cameras started rolling.

"Hello everyone, welcome to Always Open!" Barbara began. "This is a very special show, as I'm sure you've noticed. On today's show we're going to be talking about our favourite sex toys, a confessional from one of us - which I'm excited about - and then we'll have a question from our box of issues. On today's episode you have me, Barbara Dunkelman and..."

"Hi! I'm Mica Burton, and I'm completely naked right now!"

"I'm Meg Turney and I'm also completely naked."

"And it's me," said Mariel in her usual tone, "your friendly neighbourhood not naked person!"

They all laughed.

"Yes," said Barbara, "we are all naked for this episode, except for Mariel who is in her underwear. And I have to say ladies, you are all looking amazing! Like, seriously incredible!"

"Aw thank you!" said Meg.

"Thank you, so do you," winked Mica.

"Obviously I'm the only straight one on this show," said Barbara, "but, uhh, you know, I can feel..."

"You can feel yourself turning?" asked Mariel, giggling.

"Yeah sure," laughed Barbara, "I'm turning!"

They all laughed, and hoped it was actually true.

"Anyway, let's get onto our first topic, which is sex toys! And this brings us onto why I was almost late for the show today, I bought you something, Mariel!" said Barbara as she reached under the table.

"Oh wow," said Mariel, "I'm slightly scared of whatever this is going to be."

Barbara produced the box that she had retrieved from her office.

"So, I got really drunk the other day and ordered you this," said Barbara, taking the lid off the box and holding up the object, causing Mica and Meg to laugh, and Mariel to gasp. "This is a $200 vibrator, with a Swarovski crystal on it, which is perfectly designed to sit right on your clit."

Mariel finally burst out laughing.

"I love it! That actually sounds really fun, thanks Barbara, I can't wait to try it!"

"Well, you might not have to wait that long," said Barbara, "because I'm about to make you an offer."

"Oooooh" said Mica and Meg in unison.

"There are lots of ways we can do this, but basically, if you take off your underwear and get naked, you can either use the vibrator on me right now, or I'll use it on you, or whatever you'd prefer, what do you think?" asked Barbara, smiling devilishly.

Mariel's jaw dropped, partly from shock but mostly from the thousands of fantasies that were suddenly rushing through her mind.
