SoloPlay Read Online Free PDF

Come Again, appearances were pleasantly deceiving. The shop itself looked more like an upscale greeting card store than an adult novelty shop, but Mark knew that the shelves didn’t hold cards. They held a wide-ranging selection of erotica. The store offered everything from exquisitely crafted, three hundred dollar blown-glass dildos to garden variety handcuffs. A customer could locate an inexpensive pair of edible underwear or a thousand-dollar portable bondage bench, all while enjoying the soft lighting, tasteful signage and plush carpeting of the luxurious store.
    He spotted Bonita Pritchard, his favorite client, behind the counter. He liked her not only because she and her assistants, Crystal and Destiny, moved tons of SoloPlay items, but because he admired the classy atmosphere she had created at her store. In fact, if she had sold coffee, he would probably come here to have his frequent brainstorming sessions instead of the coffee shop down the street.
    “Hey, Mark. I wasn’t expecting you until Friday. The order isn’t ready yet.” Bonita greeted him with a handshake and a welcoming smile.
    He smiled back at her. The homey impression of the sex shop wasn’t the only misleading appearance at Come Again. If Mark could believe the rumors, the owner’s calm, green eyes and sleek, blond hair disguised a predilection for hard-core bondage. Not that there was anything wrong with that. Mark enjoyed the contradiction between Bonita’s tightly controlled, businesslike demeanor and her purported soul of true kink. In fact, he would have gone down that road with her in a minute if she had ever displayed the slightest interest in him.
    “I’m not here for the order. I have a favor to ask. Are Crystal and Destiny around?” he asked.
    Bonita shook her head. “Crystal has a client and Destiny went to lunch.”
    “Too bad. I was hoping to talk to all of you.” Well, maybe not Crystal. She made him uneasy in a way he couldn’t quite define. It felt like she expected something from him and he couldn’t figure out what it was. It wasn’t sexual because Crystal liked girls, but it bugged the hell out of him to feel like she knew something he didn’t.
    “What can I do for you?” Bonita asked.
    Mark got down to business. “Willing bodies for pay. SoloPlay is launching an original line of toys, and we need some feedback.”
    “Congratulations, Mark.”
    “Thanks.” They shared another smile. “Can you help me do some discreet recruiting? I’m looking for dependable, adventurous sex enthusiasts willing to fill out online surveys. The toys are free, and we’ll pay monthly. Anonymity guaranteed. All responses will be confidential. My lawyers are going apeshit,” he confided.
    “I can imagine.”
    “So, do you think any of your customers would be interested?” he asked her.
    She nodded. “I think it sounds like a dream job. Applicants are going to be crashing your server. The girls and I will make sure of it.”
    “Excellent.” Mark handed her a stack of business cards. “Hand these out to anybody you think will be a good match. The url for the application is on the card. Response time will vary, but we’ll try to get back to everyone as quickly as possible. Please let everyone know we’ll have to collect some personal information to weed out the cranks.”
    “Of course. Only serious sex toy lovers allowed, got it,” Bonita said drily. “Do I get a preview of the new line?”
    “Nope, but you’re a shoo-in if you’d like to test the products.”
    “No time for that. How about a hint?”
    Mark gave her a smile he usually reserved for women he wanted to sleep with. “Let’s just say our new vibrator can do everything but scream.”
    “Oh my.” Bonita’s green eyes glowed. “Sounds like a winner to me.”
    “Sure hope so. Thanks for your help, Bonita. I’ll see you at the end of the week.”
    Mark smiled his thanks and headed for the door, eager to make his next stop.
     
     
    “Thank you,” Alisa
