The doorbell rang, and I hurriedly hid my collection of sex toys under the bed. It was my best friend from college, and she had come over to see the new toy I had just bought. I opened the door with a grin, expecting a playful greeting from her.
But instead, her eyes widened, and she gasped. "Oh my god, Sarah, what is all this?" she asked, pointing to the box of sex toys on my bed. I felt my cheeks heat up as I realized I hadn't been careful enough when hiding them.
"This? Oh, this is nothing," I said, trying to play it cool. "Just a few things for some self-pleasure."
She rolled her eyes, but there was a glint of curiosity in them. "Hey, you only live once," she said, picking up one of the toys. It was a small, colorful spaceship that looked like it belonged in a children's movie.
