Chương 49: Book 2 Chapter 6 – Side Questing (Part 4)

Because I wanted to and because Esther was intrigued by them as well, we bought one of those ring gags. That brought us closer and closer to the edge of our budget. Sex toys weren’t cheap and we didn’t need to buy an entire library’s worth of BDSM articles when we were only beginning to dabble in the exercise. Rope, a gag, and a remote-control vibrator, that was already plenty to start with.

However, there was one more article that I wanted, for reasons related but not restricted to BDSM. It was also an article that I had no personal experience with. I didn’t have any direct experience with vibrators either, but I had used them on women before and there was not much to guess about how to use them. Same could not entirely be said for what I was about to ask for.

“Can I get a recommendation?” I asked the clerk.

“For the money you are going to make me?” she looked off to the small pile of articles we had gathered. “I’m joking, you can ask me whatever whenever.”

“So, we would like to try anal at some point,” I confessed, gesturing to Esther.

“He is insistent,” she corrected my statement instantly. “I obey because my Karitas usually has good ideas.”

The store lady looked at the pile. “Oh, is that what the dynamic is here? Classic,” she purred, her smile spreading. “Well, if you’re looking for something to… ease into it, as they say, we have… follow me,” she circled around the counter and led the way to an area in the tugged away rooms of the first floor. It was the anal section, which I had seen from a distance but I would have only looked at the display with no idea what was a proper starting size. Which was entirely why I had asked. “So, we specifically have this starting box.”

She pulled and presented us with the kind of packaging toys of all ages came wrapped in. A plastic window revealed a row of four progressively larger steel butt plugs. The thinnest was little more than a finger while the widest was about three-quarters of my dick at the base. In typical butt plug fashion, they had an onion-esque shape past that base, letting the sphincter mostly close behind the majority of the size. A circular attachment to the end then made certain the entire thing couldn’t slip fully in.

 “These are all pretty small and let you prepare yourself gradually for anal sex,” she explained, with the same passion an artist would use to describe the benefits of different kinds of paint. “Lots of girls I recommended these to were happy with them as a starting kit – and some of them just stuck with them forever because they did everything they wanted to. We do have glass and silicone versions as well, but steel is typically best for butt plugs. Silicone requires extra lube and glass is… well, its glass. Steel gets to body temperature quickly and has a nice bit of weight to it. Alternatively, there’s some small dildos you could use. Usually, it is recommended you try some fingers just to test if you got any interest in the stuff. Not everyone enjoys anal.”

“We have tested interest,” Esther stated. It had been, as she just described, just me putting a finger in here and there. Had the lady of my love gotten an adverse reaction to that, I would not have cared to try. “How would you recommend using these?” Esther asked, after taking and inspecting the package.

“That depends on how kinky you want to be about it,” the woman said with a wink. “Generally speaking, just inserting them when you’re about to go to sexy times will do. The butt plugs are less about conditioning your body, your backdoor will do fine unless you are dealing with a real monster cock, and more about getting used to the sensations. You need to be relaxed. Nothing worse for anal than a clenched sphincter. You can also wear them throughout the day. As long as you stay with the small sizes, there shouldn’t be any issues in your everyday life. If you get easily excited by anal, it might be recommended to only wear them at home though. Whatever you do, you just scale up as you’re comfortable. You should definitely aim for the largest of these four and wear it for a bit before your first experience. Also, make sure there’s plenty of lube.”

“Is it… hygienic to use them with several people?” Aclysia chimed in. I hadn’t talked with her about anal yet. That she was curious was pleasing, although I wondered how much of that curiosity was due to an honest interest in her backdoor and how much from a general want to be of service. “Or would you recommend a second set?”

“These are stainless steel; you can scrub them clean and disinfect them no problem. Could probably throw them into the dishwasher, if you wanted to.”

I was a bit weirded out by the idea, although I wasn’t exactly sure why. Okay, I knew exactly why, I didn’t want something that was in someone’s butt to be in the same washing utensil that cleaned what I ate with, but after two hours of treatment with steaming hot water and soap, how many traces of that would really be around?

I was too uncomfortable with the idea to run the experiment. Purely logically speaking, however, she was right that one could almost certainly throw them into the dishwasher. It was about as unorthodox, yet realistically possible, as keeping cockroaches as pets. It disagreed with my sensibilities and that was about the only reason not to do it. Typically, that was a good enough reason.

While all of that went through my head, the explanation continued. “Obviously you shouldn’t just pass them back and forth,” she explained, “and, on the risk of kink-shaming, I don’t recommend licking them either after they were in use. Magic helps in getting rid of a bunch of nasty bugs, but you still have them until the diagnosis, so keeping it as clean as possible is recommended. Provided you clean them between uses, sharing the same set should not be an issue though.”

“Noted,” Esther hummed and turned the box in her hand a little while longer. Finally, she nodded. “We will take this set. The recommendation is appreciated.”

“A pleasure to help,” she hummed. “Anything else you may want an opinion on?”

We looked at each other and considered. Basic bondage, basic vibrators, basic anal… I tried to think of something else we could need at the present time, but came up short. There was one item Esther and I had briefly considered - that being a strap-on - but had discarded that for two reasons. Number one, there was no reason to own a strap-on until there was a second woman in my harem (it sure as figurative hell would not be used on me). That was the financial reason. Number two was that I didn’t really enjoy the idea of even a fake dick in the bedroom. Having the monopoly on deep penetration was a concept I rather enjoyed and the aesthetics of girls fingering and licking each other pleased me more than them fucking each other.

We’d see how hard my stance on that remained over the months and years, as the harem expanded and my ‘phallus monopoly’ was challenged by rising demand. Then again, if I curated who I chased carefully, they’d be all too happy to wait until it was their turn. I very much did want my harem to be overwhelmingly filled with submissives. Maybe just a few switches so they could play with each other when I wasn’t around.

In any case, for today we had everything we wanted. “No, that will be all. Much like the caterpillar first enters the chrysalis, we shall enter a state of learning with what we have right now.”

The clerk lady raised an eyebrow, but did not comment. I filed her under the ever-growing category of ‘unappreciative of splendid rhetoric and elaborate metaphors’. The rest of our business happened swiftly. Between three bundles of BDSM rope, a ring gag, a remote-control vibrator, and a butt plug starter set, we were 273 Darks poorer. That was about half a month's worth of meals and an expense we had saved towards with all of the bonus money we kept on getting.

Each of us (Aclysia’s finances were effectively joined with ours already) received a 750 Dark allowance each month. On a regular day, about 15 Darks were expended on food. Cooking for three people was more efficient, so we spent about 40 Darks a day on food expenses. A month was 30 days, so that was about 1200 Darks out of our total allowance of 2250 Darks a month. Our side jobs earned us another 1000 Darks per month, for a total of 3250. Then there were the additional, regular household expenses, like detergent, soap, the delivery crates, entertainment subscriptions, new bras, and so on. In aggregate, our reliable monthly expenses ran about 1800 Dark. That left 1450 as disposable income.

A pretty good sum and a perfect example of why pooling resources was so much better. Had we kept separate, we would have paid more for food and each of us would have needed to consider buying certain items, like my laptop, separately. Together, we had money to spare for these larger expenses.

The beauty was that Esther, Aclysia, and I were all what could be firmly described as ‘geniuses’. I didn’t mean that in the way of absurdly inflated IQs, but in all the other ways that mattered. It was abnormal for people to have their Artefact awakened before attending a cosmic university, just as it was abnormal to figure out the Anomalia bond in the first lesson. Our talents in this and other fields regularly netted us the bonus pay of gracious teachers eager to reward excellence.

Which meant we had more and more money to spare. Not that we lacked ideas on what to spend it on.

“Crate or handbag?” Esther asked, while readying for check-out.

“We’re going to do a lot more walking, so crate is easier,” I stated my opinion.

“I agree with Karitas,” Aclysia stated.

Esther hesitated for a little bit. I could see the calculation inside that pretty head of hers, considering whether it was better to spend the money for an extra crate or just spend some time slightly uncomfortable. In the end, she surrendered to our opinions and pressed the button. The cash register scanned in the screen of the Ashod, the transaction took place, and money had exchanged hands.

“I’ll see you again,” the clerk lady cheerily sent us off.
