A sharp intake of breath cut through the air just behind me, and it felt as if every nerve in my body suddenly caught fire with embarrassment. I clenched my jaw, resolutely refusing to turn and face Aiden. I was certain that locking eyes with him right now would only confirm my dread—his expression would undoubtedly be a mixture of disbelief and heaven knows what else. Instead, I found myself frozen in place, my senses in temporary disarray as my mind struggled to come to terms with the reality that my husband had overheard my best friend discussing the purchase of a s*x toy for me.
This was exactly the very thing I dreaded that had kept me from getting one in the first place, and now, it was like all my fears had finally broken through and now stood, laughing at my face.
Anna, blissful
