Aftercare was wonderful, Harper concluded after her first not-at-all-serious experience of it. It wasn't as much of a tender loving session for Eli as it was for herself, though, since the way he snuggled up to her so naturally the entire time was nothing but perfect for soothing the uncertainty lingering within her. So what if they weren't a real couple yet? She was making a hell lot of progress, and all she needed was time.
That thought made her cheery again, even as she left Eli's apartment with reluctance at the end of the night, and kept her cheery every time she peeked into that shopping bag she brought home with her, grinning at the blindfold and all the memories that went with it.
So it was probably little surprise that, by the time Monday rolled around and she arrived at her office to find a small shopping bag sitting on her desk, the thought of those sex shop accessories was the first one to cross her mind.
