Relief flooded my body. “Oh. He should have his cell phone.”

“Text me his number again will you, Lauren. I must have lost it.”

“Sure, I’ll do it right now.”

“Have fun tonight, baby girl. Love you.”

Feeling my face flush, I said, “I’ll try. Y’all too and love you back.”

Hitting End, I sent the text to my father and pushed the phone back into my pocket and made my way back over to where everyone was. Taking my seat next to Taylor, I looked down at the coffee table. There were all kinds of little packets spread around the table. Grace, Maegan, Alex, and Libby were picking everything up and talking about how they wanted to try it. Then the Altoids caught my eye. Thank God. I was starving.

Reaching over, I grabbed a container. Reaching in, I grabbed two mints and threw them into my mouth then handed the container to Taylor.

“Thanks!” Taylor said with a smile.

Looking around, I noticed everyone was staring at me.

“What?”

Anna let out a small squeal. “You’re jumping ahead, Lauren. But by putting Altoids in your mouth while you suck off your man, it gives him another sensation. The men I’ve done this with have loved it. They come so much faster.”

Anna wiggled her eyebrows up and down as I choked on the Altoids. Holy shit. Oh my glitter! Eewww! I need bleach after that mental image. Stat!

Taylor began slapping my back as she laughed. Glaring over at her, I gave her the finger.

Libby started laughing. “Just don’t eat like ten of them and then try it. I did that with Luke and all he did was start screaming. I thought he was screaming because it felt good, so I sucked harder. He jumped up and started yelling, ‘My dick is on fire!’ as he ran to the bathroom. He turned the water on and just kept repeating how it burned. I think ten Altoids was a bit overkill.”

We all laughed except for Grace. She wore a look of horror the whole time Libby told the story. “I will never be able to unhear that, Libby. Ever.”

“Now ladies, let’s get this started. Shall we?”

Everyone nodded and got settled in, ready for our lesson. Libby had a huge sectional sofa that we sat on. All the . . . goods . . . were spread out on the barn door coffee table. The suctioned dildo looked scary as hell to me, but I found myself thinking of places to stick it. Did it stay stuck to the surface when you used it? I wondered why you would need it to suction on something.

Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I listened to Anna tell us all about herself. She was thirty-one, married with three kids. Two boys, twin three-year-olds, and one little girl who just turned five. She had been doing sex party’s for Pure Romance and decided to branch out on her own and start her own company. Taylor hit me on the leg when Anna said the name of her business was Blow by Blow.

Reaching into her cooler she began taking out . . . cucumbers? Grace and Alex busted out laughing as Libby and Maegan stared at the cucumbers with I’m sure the same shocked expression Taylor and I both wore.

“Cucumbers? You expect me to suck off a cucumber?” Maegan asked.

Anna nodded her head as she flashed Maegan a smile and gave her a wink. She dug around and pulled out the biggest, thickest cucumber I’d ever seen. Handing it to Maegan she said, “I think you need this bad boy.” Taking a closer look, I noticed the blue balls at the end of the cucumber were water balloons and the tops of the cucumbers were made out to look like the head of a dick.

“Jesus, what are you trying to do, choke me to death with this monster?”

Everyone laughed as Grace poured more wine and Libby brought over a small little cooler filled with beer. Reaching for a beer, I popped it open and took a long drink. I was gonna need a strong buzz if I was going to be sticking a cucumber in my mouth and pretending it was a dick.

Taylor leaned over and said, “If she gives me one that big she is going to scar me for life!”

Letting out a chuckle, I pushed Taylor with my arm as she giggled.

Once all the cucumbers were passed out, Anna stood. “Now, is everyone pleased with their dicks?”

Grace sat back and stared at her dick . . . I mean cucumber. “If I was only so lucky to have a dick this size.”

Alex gasped and told Grace to stop. “What about Noah?” Libby asked. Grace’s face fell and Libby shook her head. “Shit, Grace I’m sorry. Have you seen him at all this year?”

Grace leaned forward and finished off her glass of wine. Setting it on the table she shrugged. “Nope. I guess he decided to either quit school or move schools after he got married.”
