ass.
    “Play time is over, babe.”
    He bent and hoisted her up, forcing her to wrap her thighs around his waist to keep herself from falling. She squealed and slid her arms around his neck.
    “I got you. Let’s get you upstairs. I have something I wanted to show you.” Galen carried her down the hall and kicked open their bedroom door. They stepped into the room, and he flicked on the light with his elbow.
    She froze in place and gasped. “Holy mother of god.”

Chapter Three
    Lacey stared at the array of stuff on the bed in shock. Apparently Cat hadn’t been the only one talking to Rafe. There was what looked like a giant vibrator/dildo combo on her pillow, and the rest of the bed looked like the sex store had been having a clearance sale and Galen had decided to wipe them out.
    “What is all this stuff?” she whispered, trying to take it all in. She jiggled and wiggled until he set her on her feet again.
    Galen took her by the shoulder and turned her to face him. “I know things have been strained between us. I wanted to take care of you. Help you relax.” He traced the line of her neck with his forefinger and stilled her heart with the vulnerable, sweet look on his face.
    Leave it to Galen to bring a bunch of sex toys into the bedroom and help her relax by popping off a row of orgasms. The pull low in her stomach made her wonder if he might not have it right, though. It had been a long time since they made love just for the sake of it. Since before the last round of shots. Maybe this was the way to get back to where they’d started before the stress of the wedding and the difficulties of trying to start a family.
    Galen shifted from foot to foot, his gaze never leaving hers. Whether or not this worked, even temporarily, the fact that he was trying made her love him a little more than she did even an hour ago.
    She took a tentative step toward the bed and scanned the items before blowing out a sigh. “Alrighty, then. What have we got?”
    He pulled up beside her and ticked off the list on his fingers. “Let’s see, that there’s your standard variety vibrator. That’s some warming lube. That,” he pointed to a small, round device that looked a little like a pacifier, “is a butt plug—”
    She held up a hand to stop him right there.
    “That’s a what now?” She eyed it with dawning horror.
    “Look, I went in and asked the lady behind the counter to give me the works. Everything she thought a woman might want but be afraid to ask for.” He shrugged helplessly. “I took the bag, and gave her the money.”
    “So what are you supposed to do with it?”
    He eyed her incredulously. “For real? It’s called a butt plug. What do you think you’re supposed to do with it?”
    She scratched her nose and nodded, trying not to let the apprehension show. “Okay. I’ll do it. But if it hurts, just let me know and I’ll take it out, stat. Don’t be a hero.”
    He gaped at her and shook his head. “Aw, no. Sweetie. That’s not for me.”
    The last of her buzz faded, and she took a step back. “Nope. Not going to happen.” They’d had some incidental contact in the butt area, but that thing was the size of a Ring Ding. There was no way that was going anywhere near the backdoor.
    “Fine. Butt plug is off the table. Now come on, there’s tons of other stuff that you’d probably really like if we gave it a go.”
    She craned her head closer but didn’t step in, like she was peering into the cage of a lion. “What about that?” she asked, pointing to a small, pad-like device with a single button on it.
    “That’s just a different kind of vibrator.”
    That might be okay. “And those?” she gestured to what looked like a bag of ribbons.
    “Those are restraints.” His voice went dark and husky, and suddenly those looked kind of interesting, too.
    “Okay.” She turned to face him. “Since I’m the boss tonight, I’m going to pick the things I want to try and we’ll put the rest away for
