Someone rings the doorbell. Gloria pauses washing the dishes to see who’s there. As she gets closer, she sees Ralph, her regular UPS delivery driver.
“Hey, how are you today, Ms. Ramos? I have a package you need to sign for.”
“I’m good, thank you for asking.” Gloria appreciates that people are still acknowledging her grief over the end of her marriage. "I didn’t order anything.” Gloria takes the stylus and scribbles her name.
“Have a good one!”
Gloria closes the door and checks the label to see who the sender is. She doesn’t recognize the company. The cardboard box is medium-sized and unadorned. In the kitchen, she uses a knife to rip through the tape. She folds down the flaps to reveal three smaller boxes. The smallest contains a tube of lubricant. Another has the words, “Silicone Dildo - 7 inches.” The final box is a skinny, pink device. At the end of it is a curved, rounded bulb. “G-spot Vibrator” is printed on the box.
Stephanie is walking out of the courthouse. She checks her phone for the time and sees several notifications. Among them are an email from UPS saying her package was delivered and a missed call from her mom, Gloria. Before she can even open the phone app, another call comes in.
“Stephanie, did you order me this?” Stephanie almost chuckles at her mother’s exasperated tone.
“Remember the conversation we had on Thanksgiving?” Stephanie knows that she remembers it. It was the first Thanksgiving after her parents’ divorce. Stephanie would wager that every detail of that weekend was seared into her mother’s mind. “Olivia, Carmen, and I all purchased you something we think you can have fun with.” Stephanie is a litigator and still feels that her best linguistic maneuvering happens in conversations with her mother.
“Carmen! Your youngest sister has seen this?” Gloria is shaking her head. She cannot believe her youngest daughter, who is studying to be a veterinarian, would know of such a thing.
“Ma, the divorce has been finalized for almost a year.” Stephanie makes her way to her car. “I know Dad was the only man you were ever intimate with, but now you have the chance to…”
Stephanie can feel her mother’s ire growing.
“On Thanksgiving you mentioned that Dad never gave you an orgasm, so this is your chance.” She spits out the words in a rush. It’s weird thinking of her parents’ sex life, but she fully believes in what she is advocating for and endures the feeling of her skin prickling.
Gloria is speechless, scandalized. “Maybe once.” She feels her cheeks redden. “How do I use this?”
Stephanie tells her mom what each item is for and how to use it. “You can think of anyone or any situation you want. Like Aiden maybe?” Aiden is another lawyer at the firm she works for. Stephanie has heard her mother on several occasions mention his good looks.
Three days later, Gloria decides now is the time. She exits the bathroom to her bedroom, the room she once shared with Ricardo for twenty-seven years of their thirty-one-year marriage. She moves over to her dresser and lotions her skin.
Sitting on the edge of the bed with her bathrobe on, it dawns on her that in this very bedroom, where she compromised on her sexual satisfaction and prayed for a better marriage, her ex-husband slept next to her while carrying on an affair with one of their neighbors. Call it newfound confidence or conviction, she reaches for the pink G-spot vibrator and the bottle of water-based lubricant.
She shimmies to the center of the mattress and opens her robe, exposing her nude body to no one, but symbolically, to anyone. Her heart beats faster. She’s nervous. She’s excited. In fact, the prospect of an orgasm is so tantalizing that her skin heats up. Aiden’s face surfaces in her mind. His green eyes. His copper-colored hair.
A scene plays out in her mind. It’s summer, and Aiden is taking a dip in her pool. Gloria turns the vibrator on. She sets it on a low setting, unsure how it will feel. She drops a bit of the lube into her hands and rubs it on the toy and in herself. Aiden swims a few laps. When he gets out, he’s panting. His powerful body with its muscular arms and chiseled abs is dripping wet. Under the shade of the tree in her backyard, Aiden kisses her roughly. She feels his ardor and reciprocates his level of passion. He handles her like she's always wanted - aggressively. He is fully in charge. He pulls her head back by her hair. He alternates between kissing, licking, and biting the length of her neck. Gloria relaxes further into the daydream. She slips the toy inside herself.
Aiden growls in her ear - I am going to fuck you. Do you want that, Gloria? He doesn’t wait for her reply. He removes his swimming trunks. Gloria is now on her back in the backyard, where someone could easily catch her being reckless. Aiden’s hard. She admires his girth shamelessly. He smiles at her looking at him. He is now on top of her as they continue to kiss. He is brash and dominant. His tongue invades her mouth. His cool skin pressing against her hot skin causes a dizzying sensation. Gloria increases the speed of the toy. The walls of her vagina are pulsing as she presses the curved edge tighter against her G-spot. This is exactly what I needed.
Aiden pinches her nipples with one hand and pushes her legs open with the other. When he enters her, her body welcomes him. His strong hips pump into her. He says such dirty things in her ear. Do you like this cock fucking into you? You feel so good around me. I’m going to fuck this pussy for hours. Gloria bites her lower lip and moves her hips without realizing it. In her fantasy, Aiden continues to stretch and fill her completely. She moans as her orgasm builds. She gets louder and louder. She can feel it now. It is low in her stomach. Aiden changes positions, pushing her knees to her chest. He feels even bigger from this angle.
Oh, God. Yes, Aiden, yes. A moment later, Gloria feels her abs contract and her muscles lock up. She is swept up in a storm of unbelievable pleasure. For a moment, she stops breathing. Her body feels lighter and peace washes over her. Gloria laughs in disbelief. She wonders how she had waited so long and when can she do this again.
