Package Delivery

Aiden Ashley kicks back on the couch until a knock breaks the peace. She swings the door open and there stands Khloe Kay, the usual courier, cheeks going pink the second their eyes lock. The air thickens. Shy little glances turn into lingering stares. Weeks pass, and every box left at the door amps up the heat a notch until one afternoon Khloe shows up with a surprise package and finally makes her move. Aiden blinks at the mystery box, then steps aside to let Khloe in. They sit close, and when Aiden pops the lid her eyebrows shoot up at the neat strap-on nestled inside. Khloe swallows, nerves cracking into a grin. "Will you sign for the package?" she asks, half-tease, half-plea. Aiden curls her fingers around the toy, voice low and playful. "Oh, I’ll sign for this one for sure."
