Buffy’s jaw
dropped as Spike pulled into a parking lot, the exterior of the building in
front of them making it quite clear what sort of merchandise was sold behind
the darkened windows. “You brought me to a sex
shop?!” she exclaimed, turning in the passenger’s seat of Spike’s old DeSoto to give him her best arm-cross/glare combo.
“Look, do you
want to learn about sex or not?”
“I can’t go in
there!” Buffy screeched, making Spike wince. “It’s embarrassing!”
“Which is exactly
why you have to go in there,” Spike replied, trying very hard to hold onto his
patience. “Look, Buffy, if you want to be good at sex, you have to be comfortable
with sex. You can’t get embarrassed and flustered at the very thought of it.
Besides, you won’t let me take the hands-on approach with teaching you, which
means we’re going to have to get some educational aids.”
“Some
educational…” Buffy’s eyes grew wide again as she realized what he meant. “No
way, Spike. I’m not doing anything with you that involves
anything you could get in there.”
Spike clenched
his jaw as he fought the urge to snap at her again. This woman frustrated the
hell out of him, and he couldn’t figure out why she was being so stubborn about
something she’d asked him to do. Was
she insane?
“Look, Buffy,” he
began, speaking very slowly as if she were a child, “I’m doing this to help
you. Do you want to get Angel back or not?”
“More than anything,”
Buffy admitted softly, her anger melting to sadness at the mere mention of her
ex’s name. Spike tried not to let that upset him, seeing as it was working to
his advantage at the moment.
Besides, once he
finally got her to agree to go to bed with him without any of the silly “sex
ed” nonsense, he’d see to it that she couldn’t even remember Angel’s name.
“Come on, pet.
It’ll be all right. I promise I won’t embarrass you too horribly.”
Buffy sighed, but
then reached for the door handle. “I can’t believe I’m actually doing this.”
“It won’t be so
bad,” Spike said grinning as he got out of the car and walked with her towards
the door. “And there’s no need to be embarrassed. Everyone’s in here for the
same thing, so it’s not like they can really point fingers.”
Okay, so he had a point there, Buffy had to concede. The only people who would see
her in a sex shop were people who were also in a sex shop, so they couldn’t
exactly shake their fingers at her for it. She’d just walk in like it was no
big deal, and everything would be fine.
Her bravado died
the moment they were through the door. She wasn’t quite sure what she’d
expected, but she didn’t think everything would be so – out in the open. An
entire wall was covered in leather whips with a rack of things that Buffy could
only assume were bondage gear – though she couldn’t imagine how you’d actually use any of them – displayed beside it.
Her wide gaze
shifted to a collection of dildos not far away from where they stood, and her
heart hammered in her chest as her eyes zeroed in on one – it had to be at
least three feet long and as thick around as her upper arm. Never had she even imagined someone would even dream of
wanting one that big, never mind actually creating and marketing one. She hurt
just looking at it.
Buffy jumped when
she felt Spike’s hand on her shoulder. “Are you all right?”
“That thing
scares me,” she said in a hissed whisper, pointing discreetly to the oversized
phallus.
Spike winced and
cleared his throat. “Yeah, that one frightens me a bit, too. Come over here and
let’s look at the ones a little…saner.”
Buffy giggled
some at that, and Spike was relieved she didn’t bolt for the door. He wanted
her to learn to be comfortable around this sort of stuff, and even if she
wasn’t right off the bat, that was still better than running away screaming two
minutes into their little shopping expedition.
He led her over
to a relatively tamer part of the dildo section, biting back a grin at the red
stain on her cheeks. She was so adorable when she was embarrassed and he was
having a hard time not kissing her. “See anything you like, pet?” he asked
casually.
“See anything I…”
Buffy lowered her voice again. “You ask that like we’re standing in front of a
shoe sale, not…these things.”
Spike shrugged.
“I’m sure they have shoes here, too.”
Buffy didn’t even
want to think about what sort of
shoes you’d find in a place like that. She turned away from the display rack.
“I don’t like any of them. Can we go now, Spike? I’ve been in here, I’ve faced
my fear, or whatever, and now I want to leave.”
“Not yet,
Summers,” Spike replied with a shake of his head. “We didn’t just come here for
a quick look. Sex requires hands-on education, and unless you’d rather put your
hands on my…”
“Stop there,”
Buffy said, successfully cutting Spike off. “I guess one of these things would
be better than your…thing.”
“If you say so,”
Spike replied with a shrug. “All the other women I’ve known would probably
disagree, but…”
“Ugh. Just shut
up, all right? Geez.” Buffy took a deep breath, reminding herself she was
mature enough to handle this. She had asked Spike to help her with her problem,
and if he really thought this was what she needed to do to get better at sex…
Within moments,
she was completely overwhelmed.
Buffy had never
given a lot of thought to sex toys. She assumed that toys of this particular
nature would be penis shaped, and she was aware that some vibrated. However,
she’d never taken into account that they could vibrate at so many different
speeds. Or rotate. Or thrust. Some of them had strange bits protruding from
them while others had a smooth shaft. And would it make a difference if it was
flesh-colored or neon?
And
previously-innocuous animals like rabbits and dolphins were now ruined for her forever…
“Why is that one
two stuck together?” she wondered aloud, forgetting herself for a moment until
Spike replied to her question.
“One of them goes
up your bum, pet.”
She blushed deep crimson again and turned away from the display.
“Spike, I can’t. These are way more high-tech than I expected.” Her voice
dropped back to a whisper. “Some of them look like aliens, and they’re scaring me.”
Spike chuckled
softly. “It’s all right, Buffy. You don’t have to get any of those. Let’s just
go with something basic, a little on the smaller side, yeah? We just need
something so I can demonstrate for you what you’re supposed to do.” He winked
at her. “Clothes on, I promise.”
Buffy nodded,
glad that Spike seemed to be taking control of the situation now – and that he
wasn’t going to try to make her have sex with a purple jelly alien penis.
Spike plucked one
of the boxes from the shelf. “Here, how about this one, Summers? Realistic, not too big. Maybe not so intimidating, yeah?”
Her hands
shaking, Buffy took the box from Spike and looked it over. It was a in a bright
pink box with a plastic cover over the object in question, reminding her oddly
of the boxes her old Barbie dolls had come in, only the box was advertising a
“Realistic 6-Inch Penis” and not a blonde, smiling doll.
She read the
label over again and frowned. “I thought you said a small one.”
Spike shrugged.
“That is small.”
Buffy’s eyes
bugged. “Six inches is small? Angel
was a little less than that, and it, y’know, felt
kinda big…”
Spike had to bite
the inside of his lip to keep from laughing. He knew damn good and well that
six inches wasn’t exactly miniscule, but he’d had a theory it was larger than
her ex and had wanted to see if he could prove it. And truthfully, when he knew
it was something he could probably get away with without her bolting,
tormenting the girl was just plain fun.
He shrugged,
trying to appear more nonchalant than highly amused. “Well, it was you first
time. But six isn’t so much. I mean personally, I’ve got nine.” He dropped the
size like it was no big deal at all, and watched as Buffy practically choked on
her tongue.
Buffy coughed,
her eyes zeroing in on Spike’s crotch. Nine? That would be almost twice as big as Angel, and… “I’ll
take the six inches,” Buffy said quickly, shoving the box back at Spike.
Spike smirked to
himself as Buffy avoided his gaze, staring down at the dirty black-and-white
tile floor instead. He knew she was intimidated now, but he also had a feeling
that once she thought about it for a while, she was going to get curious – and
that would work in his favor.
“All right, one
more thing to look at and then we can get out of here, okay?”
Buffy nodded. She
tried to look up at his face again, but then all she could do was imagine just
what a nine-inch penis would look like, and her cheeks flared, her gaze falling
to the floor again.
She let Spike
take her hand and lead her through the store, more willing to touch him than
continue to discover all the bizarre gadgets that mostly only confused her.
However, she finally looked back up when he came to a stop and immediately
wished she didn’t.
“Oh my god… They
actually put that stuff on the covers?
Shouldn’t they just have plain black boxes or something?”
“Most people
buying porno movies aren’t worried about seeming proper, Summers,”
Spike teased, an amused glint in his eye.
“We’re not
watching any of those.” Buffy insisted, wondering if it were possible to set a
world record for blushing. “Aren’t they supposed to be all fakey
anyway?”
“They’re not for
technique, Buffy. They’re to make you not so uptight about sex.”
“I’m not
uptight!”
“Yeah, try saying
that when you aren’t turning such an interesting shade of red.” When her only
response was to somehow manage to blush even more, Spike put his hand on her
shoulder. “Look, Buffy, these movies? They’re bleedin’
hilarious. And if you can laugh at sex some, then maybe that’ll take out the
intimidation factor.”
“I don’t know,
Spike. I…I don’t think I can watch them.”
“Give it a try?
We’ll put one on for five minutes, and if you’re completely miserable, I’ll
turn it off, okay?”
Buffy thought
about it for a long moment, then finally nodded her consent. “Okay, but you
pick out the movies, all right? I don’t want to have to choose them.”
“All
right. I can do that,” Spike
agreed, deciding it wouldn’t be in his best interest to push her much further.
He scanned the DVD’s, looking for ones that appeared
to be the most vanilla. He wanted to get Buffy to relax about sex, not
completely push the boundaries of her comfort zones – yet.
He finally
decided on three movies, deciding he should have ample back-up should one movie
backfire.
“Can we go now?”
Buffy asked, glancing up nervously.
“Yeah, we can,”
Spike told her. “Just let me buy these things, yeah?”
Buffy nodded,
letting him take her hand and lead her through the store again, this time to
the cash register. She couldn’t bring herself to watch the transaction, her
eyes looking beside the register instead.
One look at the
fruit-flavored, penis-shaped candy display had her eyes back on the floor.
She all but ran
out the door when Spike was finally done, and let out a deep breath as Spike
opened the car door. Never would she have thought she’d be so relieved to be
back in the DeSoto.
Spike shut the
passenger’s side door before making his way over to the driver’s side and
climbing in with her. He dropped the bag between them, and Buffy’s eyes zeroed
on it, surprised to see it was a fairly normal-looking clear plastic bag, with
a big yellow smiley face telling her to “Have a nice day.”
She supposed it
was fitting, giving that the stuff in the store could probably give a lot of
people “nice days.”
“You’re taking me
home now, right?” Buffy asked as Spike started out of the parking lot. Surely
their little “shopping” trip was enough for the day…
“If by ‘home’ you
mean your home and not my home, then no.”
“Spike, I have
homework to do,” Buffy protested.
“Yeah, I know,
and it’s watching porn with me.”
“Spike!”
“Buffy!”
She flopped back
against the seat with an overdramatic sigh. “I really do have a test to study
for, you know.”
“So study for it
later.” He glanced over at her for a moment, taking in the sight of her pout,
before turning his eyes back on the road. “Look, do you want to be ready when
you’ve got Angel back or not?”
The mention of
her ex once again stopped her protests. “Fine. But I’m
staying over for an hour. Tops.”
“Fine.”
The car lapsed
into silence again, and Buffy found herself growing exceedingly uncomfortable.
The top of the bag had slipped, and she couldn’t seem to shift her focus from
the pink-packaged dildo poking out over the edge of the plastic. She looked
quickly at Spike, opening her mouth to try to start a conversation with him,
when a memory from back inside the store popped into her head.
Personally, I’ve got nine…
Buffy turned
quickly towards the window with yet another fierce blush, resolved to simply
watch the scenery pass her by until they got to Spike’s.
