The Convention by Lyn

Chris stifled a slight groan and tried not to limp when he walked around the display counter to sack up a purchase. While in extremely good physical condition, he still wasn't used to standing on his feet all day long and many days in a row.

Not to mention that when he had managed to sneak home for a few hours last night, Vin and Ezra had been waiting for him with Ezra's purchase from the day before. So he was a bit sore in other places as well, not to mention sleep deprived. His thoughts drifted back to the night's activities, bringing a slight smile to his face, and allowing just enough distraction that he didn't see the young man enter the booth until he spoke.

"Wow! Cool stuff ya got here."

Chris looked up and let the groan escape. Quickly he made his way around the counter, approaching the young man like he would any other customer.

"JD," he exclaimed as quietly as he could so the other customers in the booth couldn't over hear. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Oh," JD turned his attention from the displays of sex toys and looked at Chris for the first time. JD's reply made Chris close his eyes and grimace, "I wanted to get a gift for my girl." JD then leaned in a bit closer and said much more quietly, "Got an update for you."

"Couldn't one of the others bring it?" Chris would have preferred any of the others, even Buck, to be here instead of JD. JD was the kid of the group and that also made Chris want to believe, the most naïve.

JD shook his head. "All busy." He turned and perused the displays once more. "Hey, Casey always wanted to try that!" he said excitedly as he pointed to a string of vibrating jelly balls.

"JD, what do you know about these things?" Chris asked as a blush rose to his face. JD was just a kid...wasn't he? Well, okay, he was old enough to be an ATF agent, and a good one at that, but...he was JD...he was the kid of the group.

"I know plenty," JD answered somewhat indignantly. "Casey and I are a couple you know. And we're consenting adults."

"I know but..." Chris had been about to say that JD was too young to have sex, but he knew that wasn't right. Still, JD was one of his boys, and the youngest at that. Chris didn't really want to think of this boy...okay man...but boy to Chris, having sex, much less having sex with Nettie Wells' niece Casey.

"Are these really edible?" JD asked holding up a package of Gummy cock rings in bright orange, green and red.

"Yes," Chris answered, reaching out and taking the package from JD and putting it back on the table, glancing around to see who else might be watching at the same time. JD was already on the move and looking at more items.

"Do people really need these?" he asked holding up a pump. "Cuz I'm ready to go any time. Just say the word. Aren't most guys?"

"Whoa, cool. I've heard these really work," he continued, holding up a leather cock ring and harness. "Gotta have one of these. And maybe one of these," he added as he picked up a leather S&M harness complete with nipple clips and butt plug.

Chris looked at what JD held and turned beet red. He quickly snatched it from his hands and replaced it. Then he more calmly took the leather cock ring and placed it back down. "I think I have just the thing for you," he said in a normal tone of voice and moved around the counter, picking up a box of plain condoms on his way. These he placed in a brown paper bag and handed them to JD.

"Okay, but I really thin..." JD started to say as he pointed toward the S&M harness again.

"No, I highly recommend these. They're just what you need," Chris cut in, giving JD a condensed version of a glare.

"Well, if you recommend them, then that's good enough for me," JD pulled out his billfold, removed a ten dollar bill and a note folded into it and handed it to Chris. "Keep the change," he added as he took the package and turned from the booth.

Chris breathed a sigh of relief and determined to have a long talk with his other men, and a separate man to man talk with JD. That is until he remembered the previous night. With that thought he figured his credibility might be suspect. He turned to his cash box and placed the ten dollar bill inside and pocketed the note. He'd read it as soon as he could take a break.

JD stepped outside and immediately pulled out his cell phone and pushed a button. "Hey it's JD. You were right Buck. He turned redder than I've ever seen him before. It was great! But you ARE gonna explain to me what all those things are, right? Buck? Buck?"
