Verbal Bitching!

"I need you to stretch me goood after this, okay?"

Bryce choked on air.

"Don't put it like that, honey… that sounded like a crime."

He shook his head as if trying to physically fling the mental image out of his brain.

Lyra blinked, confused.

"O-oh, I'm sorry! I just meant his hands are sooo good! Like, way better than anyone else who's ever—y'know, tried me."

Bryce paused mid-breath and slowly faceplanted into his palms.

"What?!"

Lyra asked, genuinely surprised.

"Run. That. Back."

Lyra put a finger to her lips, thinking.

"Well... I said he isn't like the others, and his hands are soooo good, like, can perform better—"

"Why are you emphasizing 'sooo goood' like it's a moan in a brothel? Can't you say it like a normal person? 'His hands are effective.' Boom. Done."

"But you understood what I meant, right?"

"...Well, yes."

"Then shut up."
