Steppin' out

MJ: Hey, Tiger, sorry I missed your last message. It was really sweet of you to send Felicia down here to check on me.

Peter: Yeah, she told me you two were actually getting along! I was wondering if Hell had frozen over or something when I saw that lol

MJ: She and I have had some long, intense discussions about our past rivalry. We've decided to bury the hatchet and start over. I honestly think we're gonna be really good friends from now on!

Peter: Well, I'll be damned. I'm sure this will make for an interesting story when you get home

MJ: This has actually been the best vacation of my life!

Peter: Glad it worked out as nicely as it did. There's still no timetable when I'll be done dealing with Octavius and Dillon. I'll certainly keep you posted.

MJ: You do that. Love you honey.

Peter put away his phone as he watched as Doctor Octopus and Electro were escorted to separate holding cells at the NYPD. Now both MJ AND Felicia had assured him that they were doing fine. But still...he just couldn't shake the feeling that something else was going on.

What's wrong with me? He thought to himself. Am I just being paranoid? He didn't like lying to his wife, but he needed to be sure if his gut feeling was right or wrong.

A cop walked up to him. "Dillon and Octavius' lawyers are on their way, Spider-Man. They're probably gonna want to talk to you."

I can't ignore this any longer. "Call Matt Murdock. He'll handle things from here." And with that, he left the station.

Thirty minutes later, Peter was back in his and MJ's apartment and was looking through his contacts. Most of his fellow Avengers were busy, but one of them wasn't. It was Doctor Strange. Immediately, Peter called him up.

"Doc Strange? Hey, it's Peter Parker."

"Hello, Peter. It's been a while since you've contacted me. What's going on?"

"Well....I've been dealing with Doc Ock and Electro for the umpteenth time. My wife and I were supposed to go on vacation to Long Beach, but since this came up I decided to let her go alone, since she probably needs it a bit more than I do. I've only had very sparse communication with her since then, and I even decided to call in a favor from Felicia Hardy - you know, Black Cat - to have her check on MJ. They both said things are going fine down there, but....I have this gut feeling that something is up."

"What do you want me to do about it?"

"Everyone else is busy or out of contact at the moment. Can you fly down to Florida and see if you can find her? I'd go myself but I still have some business to take care of here."

"Don't you think you might be overreacting, Peter?"

"Can you just humor me and do it?"

"Very well. I shall make travel arrangements later today."

"Thanks, Doc. I really appreciate it."

At the Sanctum Sanctorum, Stephen Strange immediately summoned his assistant, Wong. "Wong, prepare to make travel arrangements to Long Beach, Florida."

MJ immediately wandered into Leiber's Books, a bookstore that Mandy told her was one of her favorite haunts in Long Beach. She walked up to the refreshment stand and ordered a coffee, then immediately went to peruse the various rows. Sipping her coffee, her mind continued to wander to the prospect of having more wild and crazy sex with her girlfriends later that night, and immediately her she felt her pussy begin to get wet again.

Thinking about that gave her an idea. She immediately found the nearest store worker, an older man who appeared to be in his late seventies or early eighties, with a mustache and sunglasses.

"Excuse me, sir?" MJ asked. "Does this store have any books related to sex tips?"

The man raised his eyebrows looking at MJ. He appeared to stifle a laugh, but nodded his head. "We do, actually." He spoke with a noticeable Brooklyn accent. "Back of the store. Hope you find what you're looking for."

"Thanks!" MJ finished her coffee and immediately went to the back of the store, finding the section. Now I wonder if they have any books catering to lesbians....?

She had just about reached the end of the row and didn't find anything, but then something caught her eye - a book that had a hardback cover with the lesbian pride flag colors on it. The title of the book was, "Women Loving Women: 1000 Tips To Spice Up Your Sex Life If You're a Girl Who Likes Girls!"

Her interest piqued, MJ picked up the book and quickly flipped through it. Immediately she knew she'd picked up what might as well have been the Lesbian Sex Bible. Creative sex positions, other common toys that lesbians liked to use (other than strap-ons, but there were other creative ways to use those too), more forms of dirty talk, even common kinks....it was all here.

A gift from the lesbian gods! MJ thought to herself with a chuckle. She took the book and immediately headed back to the front of the store. As the reached the nearest cashier, she viewed another beautiful sight: the cashier was a beautiful black woman, who, MJ noticed, had ample breasts under her shirt.

"Find everything okay today?" The woman asked. MJ flashed her a flirty smile. "I absolutely did." She immediately pushed the book towards her. The cashier's eyes widened seeing the book, looking from it back to MJ.

"Is there a problem?" MJ asked.

"No. No problem at all." The woman replied. She scanned the book, it rang up as costing $35.99. MJ used her card to pay for it and took the book without waiting for her to put it in a bag.

"Have a good rest of your day!" The woman replied. "Oh, you can count on it." MJ replied, and she turned on her heel and walked out of the bookstore. However, she decided to take one last look at that gorgeous cashier, and with delight, noticed that she was staring back with a smirk on her face.

Maybe I should pay that girl another visit later....
