She spots a giant sign that says XXX in smaller letters below ADULTS-ONLY. She can't help herself but poke her head inside. The door swings open easily without a squeak. A faint smell of cinnamon and vanil greeted her. Instead of being seedy and gross, the shop looks clean and well arranged. The lighting is warm and bright, not fluorescent.

  “Oh my god,” she mumbles as she wanders inside. She explores the part of the store that is filled with various sex toys in shapes small and enormous. She puts her arm next to one made by the Bad Wyvern Corporation; she gulps loudly and reads the size, XL. She bites her lip. It's thicker than her arm but smaller than Grup. She thinks about what it would feel like. She shivers and forces herself to move on. She sees all sorts of harnesses and has a dirty thought about Jacob using one instead of himself just to be safe. She smiles as she wanders through the inventory, all of it turning her on.

  She stops at a selection of fake vagina toys for men. “OOOH, this might be a good idea for him,” she says excitedly, but she thinks about it more. “Nah, it seems humiliating, plus he hasn't compined about it much yet. Let's not make it worse."

  The next part of the store is filled with costumes and bondage gear. She cringes at some of the things, like a spike-studded paddle. Or the tex bodysuits. But some of the costumes look fun. Like a policewoman or a Japanese schoolgirl. She sees a female barbarian costume that looks fantastic, complete with a foam sword.

  “I challenge you, Grup, to a duel in the bedroom!” She swings her sword, hitting him in the chest; the foam bends, but he acts like he is mortally wounded.

  “I shall never surrender to the likes of you, Izzy BattleBorn.” Grup swings a foam baton at her thigh.

  She spins and nds on the hard ground, legs spread, her sex exposed under the thin loincloth. “I’ll never surrender.” She climbs to her feet and lunges at Grup, beating on his chest before realizing she is literally using his penis as a seat. “Unhand me, you brute,” she yells.

  Grup ughs and messes up her hair. “You are no match for my mighty rod!” He cries out. “Now submit to my will.”

  She wakes from the daydream, her hand in her panties.

  “This pce is getting to me,” she bites her lip.

  After that is the main event, a wall filled floor to ceiling with pornographic media. Several racks of magazines; some of them look collectible. Then there is a wall of pornographic video in normal to the obscure formats. VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, and Betamax, then canisters of film with 8mm and 20mm being the dominant formats. In the corner of the room is a selection of pyers for all of the formats.

  “Someone is a huge fan of porn.” She ughs softly and starts reading the titles.

  “I can't even deal with this today.” She ughs, and she turns to leave and sees a whole section devoted to adult diapers. “What? I had no idea this was so common.” She quickly heads back to the regur part of the store.

  “So what did you think of the adult selection?” Josh says head down and tilted a little with a tiny smirk on his face, nervous but also excited. ‘Maybe she thought it was hot? Is that why she came back to the station?’

  “I honestly don't know what to think,” she says, putting the swimsuit on the checkout counter along with her pockets full of snacks. “I just wanted a bathing suit, and now I am even more confused by life.”

  “Yeah, I remember the first time I saw it, I panicked and ran away,” he ughs, a real ugh. “Dad always wanted to get rid of it, but Grandpa thought it was important. Most of what's on the videos is worthless, but they might be the st existing copies on earth.”

  “Somehow that makes it less creepy,” she says with one eyebrow raised. “I think?”

  “I have been digitizing it for a year and a half now. Look at me rambling; you go enjoy your swim.” He gives her a nod as the cash changes hands.

  “Maybe I will see you at the bar tonight?” He asks, but her dismissive gesture tells him what he needs to know.

  “Uh, yeah, maybe in the meantime, you go do whatever it is you do when no one is around.” She waves and leaves. ‘Note to self: unsure of Josh gas.’

  ‘What am I doing wrong?’ Josh thinks closing the register, ‘I have a good job, lots of money, a great smile, fit and clean, hard to compete with the supernatural, I guess.’

  She rides back to the ranch. She thinks about some of the dirty movie titles and recognizes some of the ABDL stuff for sale is the same as what was in the bag from Audery.

  Back at the gas station Josh Gas looks back, though the footage follows Izzy through the store, pying back the part where she touches herself several times and sighs.
