Ellie Wong was watching the late night news when Alena came into the apartment.
"So, how'd your date go?" she inquired as she peeled a banana that was turning brown.
"It was okay," Alena replied as she kicked off her shoes and plopped down in the only other chair in the room beside the couch where Ellie was sprawled, her mouth half full of banana.
"You get laid?"
"Is that really any of your business?" Alena said trying to avoid any discussion of her "date."
"I hope you did," her Asian roomie replied. "I love fucking; I think it helps me study better for days afterward."
"Is that why you let those guys screw you fore and aft the other day?" Alena said caustically.
Ellie didn't seem to mind, coming back immediately with: "I'd always wanted to try that, but you know, most guys would be kinda icky about it, you know? I mean, having another guys cock rubbing against his. And then there's the possibility the other guy might accidently on purpose touch him with his penis. Yuck! I mean, I like the idea of two cocks buzzing around me. Even thinking about it makes me dizzy, not to mention wet, you know?"
Alena nodded in understanding and actually felt bad about throwing that situation at her roommate. But Ellie took no offense, and asked if Alena had any fresh batteries that she might use for her vibrator.
"I'm really horny and could use a nice cum, but my bats are empty and I didn't feel up to running out to buy some. So, you got any spares. I mean, I don't want to use yours, um, unless you don't mind?"
Alena got up, went into her bedroom and returned a moment later to toss a pink vibrator in Ellie's lap.
"Oh, thanks, Alena!" she chirped and took off for her room.
A few minutes later, Alena heard the unmistakable sounds of Ellie reaching a thunderous orgasm.
Alena began thinking about the possibility of teaming up with her Asian roomie as an occasional partner with certain clientele. The more she turned the possibilities over in her head, the more she liked the idea.

Alena met an interesting couple a day later. As usual she'd met them by answering an ad found on Backpage.
They told her their names were Alan and Kathy. They were a thirty-something couple and appeared to be married, but Alan knew enough by now not to assume anything about her potential clients.
"So you're interested in find a third wheel for this coming weekend?" Alena said after their coffee arrived at the café table.
"Yes," Kathy answered quietly, almost shyly. But under the circumstances Alena knew she was anything but shy.
"Um, Alena, right?" Alan said, interrupting Kathy, or perhaps taking over by a prearranged signal, it's like this, there's not much information available about threesomes."
Alena nodded and managed to get in a simple "Yes," before he was off and running again. "Yeah, good,' he said acknowledging the fact that he'd gotten her name right. "So it's like this. Orgies are simple enough to handle. People show up at a sex party prepared, at least in theory, to shed their inhibitions in exchange for a night of unbridled ecstasy. Foursomes are simple, too. Couples, for the most part, internalize their doubts and come out ready to play. Even threesomes involving a couple and a single male are similarly uncomplicated. Kathy will tell you there's no shortage of males willing to play.
"But the classic ménage a trois—two women and one male--is another beast entirely. I feel most females view sex emotionally. She wants to be the center of attention, if only for a night. Almost without exception, the women we've bedded were looking for something more complex than sexual gratification, whether it was romance, friendship, or simply two people to shower them with attention. As a couple, you need to be sensitive to this dynamic.
"Oh, yeah, and you better have your own house in order, too. Jealous types need not apply, nor people looking to repair a faltering relationship. Neither partner should pressure or otherwise manipulate the other into a threesome scenario. If the two of you aren't prepared to be completely open and honest with each other then the threesome is best left as an idle fantasy. We've met too many women whose past threesome experiences were ruined by unstable couples.
"Many people will tell you threesomes just happen. Well, perhaps in Penthouse Forum they do, but out in the living world you have to lay a certain foundation. It's like dating really, unless you put yourself in the right situation and put forth some effort it won't happen. Even when Kathy and I are at our most spontaneous, we have a certain way of approaching things."
Alena was fascinated by his words. Had he prepared this monologue in advance, or did he have an encyclopedic knowledge of the subject from trial and error?
"Potential partners abound. That's not the problem. The problem is most couples waste their effort on the wrong women. There isn't really a "type" per se. We've dated confident, aggressive experts and shy, inexperienced debutantes. But what these women had in common was a certain curiosity, flexibility, openness, and a willingness to meet us half way. They had a playful attitude about sex and didn't recoil in horror when the subject came up in casual conversation."
At this point, Allan changed course, asking Alena: "What's the wildest thing you've ever done?"
Alena took a moment to mull that over. She decided it had been the bachelor party, and told them about it in some detail.
"But are you comfortable with the idea of a threesome?"
She smiled at him, then turned to Kathy and smiled at her too. "Allan, I'm here in answer to your ad. Of course I like sex. I like all kinds of sex, and since I expect to be well paid for participating in any threesomes with you two I'll share myself as equally as possible with both of you and leave any notions of falling for one or the other of you at the door."
Allan and Kathy exchanged a meaningful glance as Alena continued.
"I can assure you ... both, that you won't find me bickering with either of you as long as I'm paid promptly. I realize what you're doing is essentially a weeding out process; that's why I'm attempting to clarify my position on threesomes. I have had experience in bi-sexual relationships. I told you earlier, I like sex. What I don't like is being hurt unnecessarily. I won't tolerate it. I should tell you up front that if I am mistreated I have people who will extract a terrible punishment from you on my behalf. I don't expect that to happen, but I think you should know in the event you have something like that planned in lieu of the threesome we're discussing."
Of course, Alena had no such person available, but Allan and Kathy had no way of knowing that, and that fact provided Alena with all the protection she thought she needed.
"I also practice safe sex and discretion," she added before finishing her response.
Kathy reached out and covered Alena's hand with her own. "I like you, Alena. In fact, I'm dying to get you into my bed. I'm sure Allan is too. Now, how much would you require for this coming weekend?"
"By weekend what exactly do you mean?"
"Let's say you come to our home around four on Saturday afternoon?"
"And when would I be leaving?"
"That would be up to you, but for our purposes, let's say ten o'clock Sunday night."
"That will cost you $2500," Alena said without batting an eye.
"Two thousand even," Kathy countered.
"All right, two even," Alena said and stood up. She shook both their hands and accepted a card from Kathy with their address and left, feeling giddy at the prospect of making that much money for two days work.

That evening, while watching The Survivor's with Ellie, she decided to ask her Asian roomie if she'd ever considered charging anyone for sex.
"You want to pay me to have sex with you?" Ellie blurted.
