THE BAD SEX CHALLENGE

Elodie
Pretty sure I shouldn’t have come to a bar staffed by the world’s most
droolworthy bartender after hosting a chocolate as an aphrodisiac class.
After teaching all those oh-so-in-love couples at my shop tonight about
the sensual powers of chocolate, I should have marched straight home and
taken an antidote in the form of organizing the junk drawer or scrubbing the
kitchen floor while thinking deep thoughts on how to adult better.
But the rosemary fries at Sticks and Stones lured me here, and as I wait
for the kitchen to finish my to-go order, my libido takes the wheel.
That man mixing a mojito at the other end of the bar is seriously
scorching. This place should come with a warning sign reading: Enter this
establishment at your own risk.
I need to tap the brakes and stop staring at the ink on his arms, the scruff
on his jaw, the sin in his dark eyes.
I pop in my earbuds and scroll through my podcasts for a distraction. I
hit start on a new episode of my friend’s dating show, and after the
Heartbreakers and Matchmakers intro, a soprano-pitched guest host
immediately begins: “Who wants to take the bad sex challenge? Tell us
your sex troubles and we’ll help you figure out how to do it…better.”
Intrigued, I listen for another minute.
But while the guest hosts—a
disgustingly happy married couple—offer to tackle the between-the-sheets
troubles of the single listeners by recreating the bad sex, off-air of course,
my attention strays once more to Mister Droolworthy. I’ve seen him here a
few times when I’ve swung by. Exchanged a word here or there. And
admired the view.
Right now, he’s dropping a sprig of mint into a frosted glass. I’d let him
fix my sex life. I’d let him fix it so hard. I bet he could fix it with those
hands, those arms, that firm body…that’s coming my way.
Ack!
He delivers the mint-sprigged drink to a woman behind me, then stops
right by my side. I smile a little innocently then pop out my earbuds.
“Something amusing?” he asks when he reaches me, with a tease of a
smile coasting over those lips. Why does he have to have a bedroom voice
to match those bedroom eyes?
Because the universe likes to taunt me with things I can’t have—like a
mortgage and a hot-ass man.
“Very much so. It’s the bad sex challenge,” I tell him, after hitting stop
on the podcast.
He frowns. “Who would take that?”
“Apparently lots of couples are taking it without even knowing it.”
He wiggles his fingers, beckoning me to share more. “Details.”
“I hate to break it to you, but there’s a lot of bad sex out there in the
world. People suffering from this condition are calling into this podcast
with their sex woes, and then this happily horny couple are offering their
fixes.”
“Sex and woe. Two words that should not go together.”
“You’re probably right.”
“I’m definitely right,” he says, but he’s clearly intrigued. He hasn’t even
asked me for a drink order. He tips his forehead toward my phone. “So do
they fix them? These…sex woes?”
It’s said with a shudder.
