fandomtownies | Dite's Decadent Delights, Monday

Shilo had taken a walk today and ended up going past the store for the first time. Curious, she entered and began looking around.

"Um. Wow," she finally said, while heading towards the counter. She then noticed the sign. "How do you vote?"

[omg Shi's going to hate me for this experience.]

Aphrodite looked up from her book on tropical fish and smiled at her new customer. "Well, hi!"

Reaching over she picked up a half sheet of paper that had pictures of all three fish on it. Handing it to the girl, she said, "Just circle the one you want, and give it back to me! And when you do, you'll get your new free vibrator!"

She picked up a sample from the desk. "Isn't he cuuuuute?"

Shilo tilted her head to one side and just stared for a moment before venturing, "Yes, it's adorable."

She circled the middle one and then handed the sheet back to the woman before finally asking the million dollar question: "...why does it vibrate?"

"Because vibration feels good."

Man, this island was just FULL of virgins.

Which made her job all the more important.

"See, with this little fishy the eyeballs vibrate and the tail does as well. Dual stimulation. Reeeeally good for a full front to back experience."

She wondered if the young woman had any clue what she was talking about.

"Front to back of what?" Shilo was so confused.

Nope. Not even a hint of a clue.

"What do they teach you kids nowadays? Don't they have sex education anymore?"

Part of her wanted to play teacher, part of her was appalled, and for the moment, being appalled was winning.

"I mean, you are in school, right? It is the twenty-first century? They do talk about sex, don't they?"

But she'd be willing to play teacher. Wouldn't be the first time.

. . . not that way. This was the goddess of love, not some randy teenage male, please.

"...I only just got into school," Shilo admitted. "My dad homeschooled me before I left home. And they talk about sex all the time on the radio!"

It was other people having sex, not how to have it, but hey.

"Well, that's not what you need." She hadn't actually listened to the radio yet, but she just knew that whatever exploits got reported, it would be -- well, a different kind of education.

Tilting her head, she pursed her lips and considered the girl. Then she stuck out her hand.

"Aphrodite, goddess of love. You are?"

"Shilo Wallace... teenaged girl?" Shilo tentatively shook the woman's hand.

"Shy-lo. What a pretty name." Aphrodite smiled. She had considered that it was also an appropriate name for the girl.

"So, you've only been schooled by your father until now?" 'Dite put her elbow on the counter and her chin on her hand, dropping her height by several inches. It was her way of trying to not be intimidating.

Not that it worked.

"And you've never had sex education before?"

"Yeah. Dad, um, didn't want me thinking about it, I guess, and so I never got the talk that everyone gets," and oh wow, she was feeling so uncomfortable all of a sudden.

"Well. Time to be educated, Shy-lo Wallace." Aprhodite glanced down at the vibrator still in her left hand. With a roll of her eyes she tossed it over her shoulder. "But that's not what we need."

Moving around the display case, she took Shilo's hand and led her toward the rack of books.

"Let's see, 'Amazing Sex for Dummies', 'The Joy of Sex', 'The Idiot's Guide to Amazing Se' -- oh, I know." She reached out and grabbed a hardcover book of medium thickness. "'The Joy of Sex-The Adventurous Lover'. Teaches you the basics, but gives you some kinky stuff to keep things exciting as well." She grinned and handed it to Shilo.

"Oh, and take this one, too." Aphrodite handed her a copy of 'Amazing Sex for Dummies'. "I know -- someone -- from the book." Or, rather, she'd met the book. Wasn't something she'd ever forget.

"B-b-b-b-b-but I don't need this! I'm not even dating someone!"

"Well, the only other choice is 'The A-B-C's of Sex', and that's much more a book for pre-teens."

Aphrodite put a hand on Shilo's shoulder. "Look. You don't have to be dating anyone to learn about sex. In fact, I think it's good if you know a little bit before you start dating." She remembered that Amazon who had no clue, and the guy who'd lost a hand because he reached up to touch her breast during a make-out session. A slight shudder ran through her.

"Besides, any of these books will give you the basics of masturbation. And that's really important. I mean, how are you going to teach your lover what feels good to you if you don't even know?"

Shilo gaped. "But- I- that- I- what?"

And that was about as much babbling as Aphrodite could take. After a thorough rolling of her eyes she pushed the two books into Shilo's arms.

"But- you- this. Take. Read. Learn. Discuss. Try!" Putting her hands on her hips, she leaned back. "If you've heard of sex on the radio, you can't be that naive about it. People on this island like to have sex."

And her sales, such as they were, did not lie. Except when they did, because she gave stuff away.

Discuss?! Shilo inwardly screamed in horror. Outwardly, she managed, "Thank you..?"

"You're welcome!" Aphrodite beamed at her. "Feel free to look around at anything else that might interest you. Definitely check out the lingerie... best collection of naughty nightgowns in town."

A buzzer went off near the front of the store.

"Oh! Excuse me, that was the alarm for the water. I need to check the p-h level, so when I put the fish in it'll be comfy for them -- whatever a p-h level is." She waggled her fingers in a wave and hurried toward the goldfish bowl.

Calling back over her shoulder, she said, "Don't you worry, Shy-lo. If you read those books, you'll soon be ready a 'Rub My Fishie' vibrator of your very own!"

Shilo blinked. She then looked at the nightgowns, immediately spotted one that left nothing to the imagination, and decided it was a good time to leave.

She snuck past the counter and fled for the school, hoping to God she wouldn't run into anyone on the way.

Dinah had not heard this part of Radio last night. She just felt like visiting. "Hi 'Dite! Welcome back!"

"Dinah!" Aphrodite practically flew around the counter to pull Dinah into a very big hug. "It's so good to see you!"

Then she pushed her slightly away and held her at arms length. "The last time I saw you, you were sacked out on a cot with a stuffed animal in your arms. You couldn't stop by to let your Auntie Dite know you were okay?"

Dinah hugged her back, then facepalmed and gave 'Dite a completely guilty look. "I'm sorry, I should have! I took off at the end of the week for Vancouver, to help out Tony. I kind of needed to get away from this place." She winced. "And you were gone when I got back. But I should've called."

"Well, okay, I suppose you're forgiven. I'm just really glad everyone came through that business okay."

Aphrodite took a step away and waved her arms about. "By the way, ta-da! How do you like? I don't think you've been in since I put the waterfall in back!"

She'd worked hard on the planning, if not on the installation.

"It looks... good," Dinah said, nodding hard. Even though it was still a teeny bit weird for her to say so. "And no, I don't think I saw the waterfall. I love the treasure box, though." She finally saw the sign. "...eep?"

"Oh, that? Hee!" Yes, she actually laughed like that. Slipping back behind the counter, she handed Dinah a half sheet of paper with the pictures of all three fishes, the Discus, the Red Lion, and the Clown fish. "Just choose your favorite, Sweet Pea. And just for you? You can choose any vibrator in the store." She looked at the sample on the counter and held it up. "This one's nice, but he just doesn't seem to fit you."

"Asdlkfjdfkjl," Dinah said. Or the verbal equivalent. Then gulped. "Thank you?"

Red Lion it was. "Um." Okay. Um. Dinah looked around, then back at Aphrodite. "I... have no clue." Yeah, shock there. "Not a fishie?" Well, at least she knew that much.

With a bright smile, Dite put down the fish and came back around to her young friend.

"Ah, Dinah." She put an arm around the girl. "Sometimes your innocence is a breath of fresh air. Other times it just means I can tease you." She smiled and winked, slowly leading Dinah towards the back of the store. "But stick with me, girlfriend. You'll be an expert in no time."

"An expert in vibrators?" Okay, that was way more likely to be Val, wasn't it? C'mon! "Can't we just pick one out, a beginner one..." What was she saying? She just knew 'Dite well enough that 'Really, I don't need a vibrator' was not going to fly.

No, that really wouldn't fly.

But speaking of flying . . .

"You know, I think we should start you off with a classic. The butterfly!"

Picking up the box, she opened it, pulling out the item from its plastic hiding place. "This is really well designed. Here, look at it!" She handed the piece of plastic and latex to Dinah and began pointing out the features. "First, it's got a remote, which I always recommend. Also, it has a variable speed dial, so you can start off slow and finish with a bang. Most have that feature, and some have the start and stop modes and tempo, and all kinds of stuff, but this is pretty simple. Nothing that's going to confuse you. Then, there are the leg straps." She lifted them. "You put these around your thighs and it holds the vibe in place -- that way you can go almost hands free!"

She looked at Dinah brightly, waiting for a response. And the blush she knew was coming.

"A remote?" She had to learn to move beyond sounds dogs and gods could hear. "I.. how..?" Well, duh, it didn't take an engineer, once she actually managed to glance at what 'Dite had handed her. "Ohhhhh." And raspberry-blush really was a good look for her, wasn't it?

A raspberry blush on a blonde was a very good look, and it made Aphrodite smile all that much wider.

"Riiight. Simple little dial. Turn it on, and vroom-vroom!" She waited, letting Dinah examine the item.

"I think you'll like this one better than the fish. I mean, okay, his eyes vibrate, and his tail is great as a tickler, but -- there's something to be said for a more streamlined look, don't you think?"

This one, anyway, didn't remind anyone of a little fish in a Pixar film.

Dinah gave the thing in her hand a sideways look, and really. It was almost kind of cute. If you turned it around one way, it looked like a perfectly innocent pink jelly hairclip, instead of... right. Anyway. "Yes, anything looking at me, that would be-- disturbing." Very, very disturbing. Disturbing to the point of total-turn-off. And, the butterfly didn't have a ton of way too accurate detail, which, on a real guy might be nice... but on a vibrator, to her mind it would look like someone had cut up a real guy, and could she even stop babbling in her mind? Apparently not.

'Dite was patient. She watched with a smile as Dinah turned the item over in her hand.

Then watched her turn it again . . . and again. . . and . . .

"You know, if you want, we can go bigger and better. There's always the Butterfly Kiss (http://www.bettersex.com/vibrators/butterfly-kiss-gspot-vibrator-PC-3969-0.aspx) instead, or there's the Rabbit (http://www.bettersex.com/Vibrators/Dual-Stimulation-Vibrator/sp-16-function-rabbit-super-vibrator-3197.aspx) -- that one has sixteen functions. Oooh, or you can choose the Personal Pleasurizer (http://www.bettersex.com/vibrators/intimates-personal-pleasurizer-PC-3886-0.aspx) with its g-spot stimulator --"

Dinah could stop her anytime, really.

"Thisone'sfine!" While inside her head, Dinah was shrieking SIXTEEN?! and trying not to let it show on her face. Holy wow. "Really. 'Sall good."

Yep, that had done the trick.

Aphrodite smiled and stopped right in the middle of reaching for some other strange looking device.

"Are you sure? I mean.... you could try it out, you know? There's a couch in the back supply room."

Okay, now she was just teasing, and her smile and wink let Dinah know that.

"Come on, girlfriend. I'll put it in a bag for you."

Dinah choked, then let out a relieved giggle at the wink, shoulders slumping as she relaxed. "You're mean, 'Dite." Then, more ruefully if still very pink, "Um. Thank you. I think."

Because she couldn't quite say I'm never going to use it but seriously, she just did not want to think about it now. Maybe she'd go back her room, drop off the bag, then run around the island four times. Or something.

Chuck wanted a free vibrator, dammit.

"So what do I have to vote for for the free sex toy?"

He was cute enough, even if she could sense the attitude a mile away.

"Down boy. Someone might think sex is all you care about." She winked, then gave him a half sheet of paper with three pictures on it. "Just circle your favorite one, give it back to me, and I'll give you a fish of your very own."

Chuck smirked as he took the paper. He liked this lady. Chuck spent a moment or two pretending to really deliberate over which fish he liked the best.

Eventually Chuck ended up circling one and handing the paper back to Dite. "The blue one is the best."

"Well, at least you didn't vote for the clown fish." She took the sheet back, knowing he hadn't really considered anything. "Most people, if they just want the vibrator, just circle the first one. For taking that extra minute, you get a free box of condoms, too."

Aphrodite took out a bag and put a box of condoms in it. She reached for the still in the box vibrator with the colorful picture of the fish on it. "You know how to work this, stud? Or should I . . . demonstrate?"

Chuck smirked. "I'm fairly sure I'm familiar with just about everything in here. But I certainly wouldn't stop anyone as pretty as you from demonstrating if you wanted to."

That'd be hot.

"Well, great. Why don't you drop your pants, then? I'll make sure you're very familiar with all its features."

Her smile was slightly wicked.

And just downright evil.

"You are awesome." Yeah, that's all he had to say to that.

And he'd totally do it if he was the least bit drunk.

She's probably lucky he was sober.

Or he was. The fact that he hadn't actually done it meant she no longer wanted to zap him.

Well, maybe just a little. But she'd be good.

Instead, she just laughed and put the box in the bag. "Tell you what, Sweet Cheeks. Come on back when you're a little older, and maybe we'll do that demonstration after all."

With a wink, she handed him the bag. "And you're always welcome at Dite's Decadent Delights. I'm Dite."

"I'm Chuck Bass. Extreme pleasure to meet you," Chuck said, taking the bag. "I'll definitely be back."

He went through a lot of condoms.
