**Cecilia**

I was savoring the rich flavors of my seared salmon, lost in thought, when Yvonne hit me with a question that caught me completely off guard.

“So, did you take a look at those photos I sent over? Which vibe are you leaning toward?” Her voice was casual, almost playful, as she swirled her glass of wine, treating the conversation as if we were merely discussing the latest handbag trends rather than, well… battery-operated accessories.

I nearly choked on my sparkling water, the bubbles fizzing up my nose as I processed her words.

“You mean those photos?” I managed to splutter, hastily reaching for my napkin to dab at my mouth.

Yvonne, ever the picture of confidence, simply grinned at me, completely unfazed by my reaction. “Of course! I thought you’d appreciate a little visual prep before our shopping trip.”

“Shopping,” I echoed, my voice flat and disbelieving. “For… toys.”

She raised an impeccably groomed eyebrow, the kind that suggested she was both amused and intrigued. “Come on, Cecilia. You’ve been married. Don’t tell me you’ve never owned one.”

“I didn’t say that,” I retorted, my fork stabbing a cherry tomato with a bit more force than necessary. “I just don’t typically discuss these things over dinner in public.”

Yvonne let out a laugh that echoed through the restaurant, tossing her hair over one shoulder with a dramatic flair. “God, you crack me up. You act like I asked you to give a TED Talk on vibrators.”

I sighed, trying to maintain my composure. “I’m not a prude. I just prefer to keep my orgasms and my appetizers in separate conversations.”

She nearly spat out her wine, laughter bubbling forth. “That was poetic! But still, you’re coming with me. It’s time for an upgrade, babe. You’ve been out of the game for far too long.”

“I’m not out of the game,” I said, my defensiveness creeping in a bit too strongly. “I’m just… selective.”

“Oh, we’re using ‘selective’ now?” she teased, a smirk dancing on her lips. “That’s cute.”

After dinner, we meandered through the mall, pretending to browse candles and overpriced skincare products, but I knew exactly where this was heading.

The real destination was tucked away down a quiet little side street, a mere ten-minute walk from the restaurant.

A boutique called Evening Rose awaited us.

From the outside, it looked like an upscale flower shop—its quaint, cottage-style facade adorned with fresh blooms artfully arranged in vintage vases, soft pink lighting spilling out from behind delicate, gauzy curtains.

If you didn’t know any better, you might think it was a tranquil spa or a luxury tea room. But I knew better, and the thought made my cheeks flush even before we stepped out of the car.

As we approached the entrance, Yvonne looped her arm through mine, her voice low and encouraging. “Don’t chicken out now. You’re a grown woman, not a blushing virgin.”

“I’m not blushing,” I protested weakly, adjusting my coat even though the evening air was far from cold.

“You’re practically glowing,” she shot back, a teasing smirk playing on her lips. “You’d think we were about to rob a bank, not buy a deluxe rabbit.”

“I just don’t want to run into anyone I know, okay?” I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.

She rolled her eyes, clearly unimpressed. “Trust me, anyone you know wouldn’t dare walk in here. And if they did, they’d be just as red-faced as you.”

I cast a nervous glance over my shoulder, my heart racing, before we stepped inside.

The street was quiet, with only a couple walking their dog in the distance, blissfully unaware of my internal turmoil.

**Author**

As Cecilia and Yvonne slipped into the discreet boutique, a sleek black Mercedes pulled up across the street.

Inside, Alpha Sebastian sat in the backseat, arms crossed over his broad chest, his gaze fixed intently on the pink-lit establishment.

He lowered the window, his curiosity piqued. “Sawyer, what kind of place do you think this is?”

From the driver’s seat, Beta Sawyer squinted at the building, his brow furrowed in thought. “Looks like some kind of beauty salon or wellness center, I’d guess.”

Alpha Sebastian’s jaw tightened, a flicker of annoyance crossing his features. “What else?”

Beta Sawyer examined the floral decorations more closely, his expression shifting. “Maybe it’s a dessert shop? The rose scent is pretty strong—could be one of those places that makes rose-flavored pastries.”

Alpha Sebastian frowned at the thought.

Rose pastries? She turned off her location tracking and was acting suspiciously… for dessert?

“I could go in and check,” Beta Sawyer suggested, eager to satisfy his Alpha’s curiosity. “If I run into Cecilia, I’ll just say I heard about the place and wanted to try it myself.”

Alpha Sebastian considered this for a moment, weighing his options. “Let’s wait and see.”

“Fine,” Beta Sawyer agreed, though he couldn’t shake the feeling that this was all a bit ridiculous.
