vibrators,” said
Katy.
    He
finally managed to turn the damn think off. He set it on the counter where by
accident he must have set off the switch again and it flew off the glass top,
knocking over a display of raspberry flavored condoms.
    Connor
bit his lip. This was turning into one shitty day.
    “Thanks
for your advice about the whips. I think we’ll be putting our purchases to good
use when the men get home.”
    “Remember
to stop by on Friday evening for our vibrator class. We have a drawing so you
could win The Boss. In fact, that’s the one my brother’s been playing with.”
    Once
these ladies were clear of the store, Katy was going to be in big trouble.
    “Are
you going to be there too?” the lady asked him.
    “You
know, Connor, I think that might be a great idea. You can do the prize drawing
and hand out the gift,” said Katy.
    Growing
up he’d always wondered what being an only child would be like and if Katy
didn’t quit embarrassing her big brother he might find out for real.
    “Well,
in that case, count us in. So nice to have met you, Connor, and you can count
on our vote.”
    “Thank
you,” said Connor, tipping his hat again.
    Connor
waited until they were out of the door before he turned to Katy, who burst out
laughing.
    “You
should have seen how red in the face you got when that vibrator landed on her
foot,” said Katy, pointing at him.
    “I’m
not surprised with a sister like you.”
    Katy
walked around the counter, and she and Connor began picking up the spilled
condoms.
    “What’s
the point of these?” he asked. “Raspberry rubbers for god’s
sake.”
    “They
smell so good when you’re being fucked. You want to take a few samples with you
to try on your next conquest?”
    “The
last thing I want to smell when I’m fucking a woman is raspberries. And why is
my photo right next to a plastic cock and your flyer for your vibrator class?
And a vibrator class, don’t women know where to stick these things or what?”
    “Connor
your male ignorance is so last century.”
    Last
century, two centuries. His sister’s snarky comment reminded him of why he’d
dropped by in the first place.
    “You ever done any digging around in our family history?”
    “No,
why?” asked Katy, putting the last condom back on the carousel.
    “Jennifer
Nealon stopped by. She’s writing a profile of me for Big Sky County Magazine.
She asked if I knew about great, great, great grandmother Sarah being in a ménage
with Shaun Nolan and Jon Delaney.”
    “Ménage,
you mean she was doing two men or should that be two men were doing her? You
realize how good this could be for the store?”
    “And how bad it could be for my
campaign.”
    “Connor,
this is 2015. Who cares about three people doing the wild thing?”
    “2015, really. Big Sky County
is full of prudes and people who I’m sure still wouldn’t approve of that sort
of thing. She had four children out of wedlock. You know how that was looked
upon in those days?”
    “You
worry way too much. So did you tell Jennifer that it was news to you?”
    “Nope,
because I don’t want her putting it in the article until I’ve had time to
diffuse the consequences. I told her I knew all about it.”
    “And
how did she find out?”
    “Historical
society, which is where I’m heading to find out how she got her hands on this information
in the first place. I can’t believe it’s there for everyone to read, or we
would have been the talk of the town.”
    “If
it’s true you’ll let me know.”
    “I
will, but you are in no way using it to promote this store. Oh, and another
thing Mom phoned and told me Dad’s been acting weird and that she thinks he’s
having an affair.”
    “Our father?”
    “The one and only.”
    “Well,
he did come in here and bought some bubble gum flavored rubbers. I thought it
was strange. I mean mom’s a peach flavor sort of girl.”
    Connor
bite his lip, knowing his sister was making light of what he’d just
