Melissa's mother, an aging and weak woman suffering from rapid memory loss, needed to be moved to a new facility, one that specialized in caring for Alzheimer's patients. Mandy and Melissa worked together to complete this move, making the necessary phone calls, moving furniture and other belongings and seeing that her mother was cared for properly in transit. Melissa's mother stayed with Joe and Melissa for several days in between, and Mandy provided meals for everyone. These days were difficult for Melissa, because it was hard work and her mother was a hollow shell of the energetic woman who raised her.
There was no discussion about sex whatsoever between the three of them for several weeks, but the subject did not disappear from their thoughts. Mandy ignored the subject completely, perfectly content to be supportive for her friends. Joe and Melissa discussed Mandy one night, after the move had been completed and a sense of normalcy had been restored.
"Has Mandy mentioned anything about continuing where you left off?" Joe prodded.
"Not at all," Melissa responded.
"That's amazing."
"Why?"
"I don't know. It seems like you two had so much fun, you'd want to do it again."
Melissa shrugged. "I think she's being respectful, Joe."
"I guess. She doesn't seem to be playing any mind games."
"Nope. Mandy is a very good friend."
"Do you think you will...you, know...do it again?"
"Maybe. We'll see," Melissa smiled. "You'd like that, wouldn't you?"
Joe smiled. "If you enjoy it, you know I will."
Melissa laughed. "That was very diplomatic. In reality, you've been imagining Mandy and me together..."
"It is an intriguing image."
"Mmmm. I bet it is," Melissa teased.

Melissa remembered Mandy's line, uttered just prior to their sexual encounter. "You'll get a month of hot sex from this." Mandy had been right. She and Joe enjoyed a sex life more open, more erotic, than anything they had experienced before. Neither one really understood what was happening. In theory, they should have been able to generate this kind of sexual passion without Mandy. Their marriage was in deep trouble, however, pounded by years of hard work and poor relationship habits. At this point, they felt they had nothing to lose by exploring further. Dealing with Melissa's mother slowed things down, but it did not change their situation in any fundamental way. Plus, it showed that Mandy was, indeed, a trusted friend.
One day, Mandy and Melissa decided they would tour the local zoo. Mandy drove, and they began discussing things once again.
"Joe asked me if we are going to repeat our...you know," Melissa struggled for the next word.
"Sex romp?" Mandy completed for her.
Melissa laughed hard and loud. Leave it to Mandy to keep things simple.
"Yeah," Melissa said. "Sex romp."
"Do you want to?"
"If you do," Melissa answered, partially embarrassed.
"It was fun."
"Fun is an understatement."
"I would have to agree."
"Are you concerned about this? That this is something we might regret?"
"No, why? Should I be?"
"I don't know," Melissa responded, thinking hard. "You hear about people doing things like this. They get angry or jealous and bad things happen."
"I love you guys," Mandy replied. "I don't want bad things to happen."
"Me neither."
Melissa and Mandy developed a plan to be together soon. This would give Melissa a good chance to test her husband in bed both before and after the encounter.

"Tomorrow night, is it?" Joe asked. "Tell me what you're going to do tomorrow night."
Melissa wore a red and black baby doll gown, with red stockings and garters. She pranced around the room, pretending to prepare for bed, as she explained the situation to Joe.
"Oh, why, I'll spread my legs and let her do as she pleases," Melissa said as she bent over and snapped the last garter in place. In fact, she had no idea what they might do tomorrow night, but she had learned how to properly tease her husband.
"Your legs are beautiful. So smooth, baby."
"Why thank you," Melissa responded.
"It turns me on that you're going to spread those legs - those gorgeous legs - for Mandy."
Melissa leaned back against the wall, spread her legs and lifted her frilly baby doll up to her belly. Joe caught a nice glimpse of his wife's slit, with the small tuft of pubic hair above.
"Just like this," Melissa said as she looked down her body. "Then she can have me."
Joe went to his wife then, pinned her to the wall, and kissed her passionately. Hunger coursed through Joe's body; he was burning with a need to conquer his own wife and devour her. He led her to bed, laid her on her back and licked and bit his way around her body. Melissa squirmed.
"Oh Joe...god, that tickles..."
Joe sunk his teeth softly into his wife's inner thigh, just inches from her mound. Melissa giggled, something she was never prone to do. Joe didn't say a word, content to drive her crazy with firm bites to sensitive parts of her body.
"Please fuck me, Joe," Melissa finally begged. "Please. I need it."
Joe obliged, sliding his manhood into his wife, grunting as her tight warmth enveloped him. He pumped back and forth in smooth, fluid motions, with thoughts pouring into his mind of his wife – his sexy wife – being with Mandy once again. These images spurred Joe on and his love-making became rough without him being aware. His wife grabbed a pillow and cried loudly with each inward thrust. By the time Joe was spent, Melissa was sweaty, exhausted and satisfied.

The next day, Melissa went about her chores nervously, trying hard not to build unnecessary anticipation for her upcoming evening with Mandy. On the one hand, she felt slutty, because she was a married woman enjoying extra-marital sex with her husband's knowledge. On the other hand, she was scared, hoping that she would be a worthy lover for both Joe and Mandy. The entire situation was strange, and she found herself shaking her head and laughing at random moments through the day.
That night, Mandy put on some soft music, lit several candles and sat down on the far end of her sofa. Melissa laid across the sofa, with her head in Mandy's lap. Mandy petted Melissa face and hair, just as she might do with her cat.
"You look nervous, sweetie," Mandy began. "Is there anything I can do?"
"This is perfect. I love the music."
Mandy waited patiently for her friend to relax. Melissa had a tough month. Mandy was aware that she might not have the will to go through with anything sexual this evening.
"We could play Scrabble and you could make up stuff to tell your husband," Mandy suggested.
"Yeah, we could," Melissa said. "But, I remember so clearly. Being with you. It was good."
"I remember."
"I'm ready," Melissa whispered, smiling up at Mandy.
"Are you sure?" Mandy smiled back, cocking her head slightly to peer into Melissa's eyes. "Would you like a kiss?"
Melissa sighed. "Oh yeah..."
Mandy leaned down and kissed her gingerly, holding her lips motionless against Melissa's for a good long time before she pulled back.
