Member-only story
“Lizzy, the book got returned,” Lola said as she sat on the couch, playing with her cooch.
I could hear Lizzy, that is, Elizabeth Wylde, on the other end of the phone let out a moan of disappointment.
“They won’t deliver to P.O. boxes. What should we do?”
“Try this address,” said Lizzy, telling Lo where to have the book shipped. “It’s my aunt and uncle’s house, but they won’t mind.”
Lo laughed. “You sure? What if they open it accidentally?”
Lizzy also laughed and said, “That would be a tough one to explain.”
About two weeks later the book, Match, Cinder & Spark, Volume IV: Sexy Shorts, arrived for Aunt and Uncle Wylde. They didn’t open it, but they were curious. They called Lizzy and she came over one Sunday to pick it up.
“Aren’t you going to open it?” asked Auntie Wylde.
“Nah, I know what it is.”
“What is it, Lizzy?”
“A book for work.”
“Work?” asked Uncle Wylde.
Now Lizzy got herself into it. Lizzy’s work, you see, is sexy phone chat.
“Yes,” she responded, “work.”
“I thought you were out of work since the pandemic started,” inquired her aunt.
