For Research Purposes Only (7 page)

While writing her book, she read several others in the genre. While the sex burned the pages, she noticed writers made sure to show the emotional relationship the parties had. While she couldn’t buy into it, after all, it was fiction, one could make anything up to fit the world you’re creating, there still had to be a thread of believability in there.

She did read in one of her non-fiction books it was possible for the parties involved to have an emotional attachment. So much so, one if not all three of the people could get jealous. Oh, dear. She didn’t want that to happen.

“You’re in deep thought over there,” Jerry commented.

“I was. I just realized something. Suppose one of us gets jealous.”

“I can’t guarantee anything in a relationship like this,” Marty said. “However, I can be almost certain it won’t happen between us. And I would like to think we’ve known each other for so long, if one of us would get uncomfortable, they would verbalize it to the others.”

Lacy thought a moment. This would be great research material. She knew the guys, and not just on a casual basis. She loved Marty and still had feelings for Jerry. This could be interesting research for her book. First-hand experience. “You know, you two might have something. I mean we’ve known each other for fifteen years. We’re closer than any three people can be. We’re open and honest with each other. And no one will do anything they don’t want to do.”

“Exactly.” Marty got up and went over to Jerry. “I know Jerry’s feelings for you are the same as mine. He loves you and will do anything to please you.”

“I still want to go to the adult store to pick up a few things.”

Marty and Jerry looked at each other and grinned.

“For research purposes only,” she quickly added.

 

 

 

Chapter Seven

 

Lacy, Marty, and Jerry milled around the adult store. She had on her huge dark sunglasses and hair tied up in a scarf.

“You look more conspicuous with that on than if you just came here looking normal,” Marty whispered in her ear.

“Someone might see me in here,” she whispered back. She spotted a book on how to use a vibrator.
Self-stimulation 101: How Batteries Can Be Your Friend
.

Lordy
.

“If someone sees you, then they’re in here, too.”

She looked up at him. “You got me there.” She looked around the place. “Where’s Jerry?”

Marty stood on his toes and scanned the aisles as well. “There he is, by the leather clothing.”

Lacy sighed. She didn’t even want to know. She continued looking around for the material she wanted. She found a few books, but the DVDs she wanted were behind a black curtain. That didn’t make sense. “Why would they hide the porno movies, this is a porno shop.”

“It’s an adult store,” Jerry corrected, coming up behind her. “But some stuff is so racy they still hide it in the back.”

“I hate that. Now if I go back there, the clerk will be thinking, ‘look at that woman getting the kinky stuff.’”

Marty and Jerry both laughed. “The fact that you’re in here, Lacy, tells them you’re not looking for bakeware,” Jerry said.

“Would you like us to go back there with you?” Marty asked, as he picked up a book on BDSM.

“I hope you’re not getting any other ideas,” Lacy snatched the book and placed it back on the shelf. “I guess you can…oh, no. I can’t let you come back there with me, or even stand at the check out.”

Marty and Jerry shared a glance then looked back at her.

“What?” Marty asked.

“Think about it. If I go in there and buy several DVDs that feature ménage à trois, and you two go in there with me, what do you think the clerks are going to think?”

“That we’re going to have one hell of a night.” Jerry chuckled.

Marty snickered.

“You two are a lot of help.” Lacy rolled her eyes and walked to the back room. She looked left and right and toward the entrance. When she was about to pull back the black curtain a woman with inky, spiked black hair and tattoos approached her.

“May I help you?”

“Uh…no. I’m fine, really.” Lacy wanted to run.

“We have a huge selection of adult films, you could get lost. Any particular theme you’re looking for?”

She wanted to get out of the place fast. If she looked for the films by herself, she could be there forever. If she told the clerk exactly what she wanted, she could probably pull a few off the shelf just like that. “You know, you can help me. I am looking for a particular type of film.”

“What kind is that?” The girl asked as she pulled back the curtain.

“Ménage à trois, threesomes only, nothing more,” she said, shaking her hands for emphasis.

“Oh.” The girl scanned the room and saw Marty and Jerry standing by the adult magazine aisle waving at Lacy. She turned back to face her with a big grin. “Of course, we have plenty of those, and you’re in luck, we have a lot produced and directed by women, so the hot sex is still there, but it’s more romantic.” She waved Lacy into the room.

She wanted to say something because she knew what the girl had to be thinking. But she decided to let it go. She wouldn’t believe her anyway. Besides, it looked more and more like she’d be engaging in this sooner or later. But she wanted to try looking at the films first, before she tried anything more adventurous. And looking at both Marty and Jerry, did she really think the clerk would believe she just wanted videos for research only?

“These DVDs here are all by women. These two I think would be perfect for you and your friends.”

Oh Lord
. “Yes, let me see.” She grabbed one of the DVDs and looked at the cover. Well, wasn’t this a coincidence. It had a picture of two Caucasian men having their way with an African-American woman. From the look on her face, and the way she had her mouth open, she looked like they were pleasing her very well.

 She found herself enthralled by the photos. Would she feel like this woman? Would Marty and Jerry give her pleasure the likes of which she’d never experienced? Was a ménage à trois all of that, or overrated? The only way those questions would be answered was by firsthand experience, not by a book or DVD.

She went up to the counter and Marty and Jerry joined her, despite her warnings not to.

“We wanted to explain everything, just in case they say something,” Marty whispered in her ear.

“Too late. Damage is done.”

“I hope you three enjoy. Come again.” The perky clerk handed Lacy her bag.

“See what I mean.” They walked out to the car and got in.

“Lemme see the goods,” Jerry reached over the seat.

“These are not your typical pornos, according to Miss Sunshine. These are produced and directed by women. You have a plot and more romance.” Lacy tried to make them sound somewhat legit.

“Yeah, okay,” Jerry took the bag. “Hmm, these look interesting.”

“Let’s see,” Marty came to a stoplight and reached back to grab a DVD. “It does look promising, at least the pictures do.” He and Jerry chuckled. “This might help you, Lacy. Of course, nothing can replace actual experience.”

They’re still trying
, Lacy thought. She wasn’t kidding herself, however. A part of her wanted to indulge, to experience something she’d literally only read about. But the other part was cautious. A lot could go wrong. Emotions could flare, get complicated. Men made sex seem so simple.

Once they got home, Lacy immediately went upstairs with her purchases. She took out the DVDs and stashed them between a bunch of books on her shelf. She did leave the book out about the non-traditional relationships. They had a huge section about multiple partners, also known as polyandry. She would just focus on the threesomes. Good Lord.

 She sat in the middle of her bed, legs crossed in a yoga position, and began reading. This was her fifth book on the subject, but this one seemed to deal more with the emotional aspects of the relationship, which was what she needed. The more she read, the more it began to make sense. It freaked her out a bit. Could she engage in something so kinky? No matter how they tried to explain it was just a
different
sort of relationship or
arrangement
,  Lacy still couldn’t fully wrap her head around it.

 She put the book down. Marty and Jerry had participated in ménage relationships, but found them unsatisfactory emotionally because of the women they’d been with. So it would seem plausible to have more than a just a physically connection within a threesome. She knew she had an
emotional
bond with both of them, but could she have a sexual one? Could that woman be her? She did know one thing. A part of her wanted it to be.

Marty and Jerry drank more sun tea and watched the game on the television.

“What do you think she’s doing?” Jerry asked.

“More than likely, burying her face in the book she bought.”

“She’s really trying getting into this. I’m surprised she didn’t give up on the whole idea of writing the book, especially since it seems her emotions are a bit conflicted about us.”

“Lacy, give up?” Marty snickered and shook his head. “No way. The fact she’s having a hell of time with this is only pushing her more. She won’t be happy until she’s mastered whatever writer’s block she has.”

“So, do we help her, or wait?”

Marty filled his glass with more tea. “Wait until she comes to us. Her confliction could be interpreted as curiosity. She had no issue with you touching her.” He winked at him.

Jerry’s face actually turned red. “You sure she’ll want to continue?”

“There’s more to her researching this than meets the eye. She’s curious too, not just for the sake of the book.”

“Ahh.” Jerry nodded his head.

“I give her a couple more days.”

“The DVDs.”

“Yeah, I thought about that. We could all sit and watch it, and before you know it, we’re on the floor, fucking like rabbits. But, I want it to happen naturally, from her. You know what I mean?”

Marty had the whole scenario in his head. Lacy would come to him first, he’d make wild, passionate love to her, then once she rested, Jerry would have his turn while he watched. Seeing Jerry pleasuring her would be the biggest turn on. Then once she rested again, she would take turns pleasuring them. She would suck his cock while Jerry watched and, of course, he would watch her service Jerry. Then, both of them would have her at once then—

“Marty!”

“Huh?”

“I’m not going to ask what you were thinking.” Jerry smirked. “Anyway, you don’t want her getting horny from a movie.”

“Exactly. Even the most chaste person can get hot and bothered watching a film, and just want to let off steam. I want it from the heart.”

Jerry grabbed the pitcher and poured the last of the tea. “This should be enlightening.”

“Let’s go see what our literary friend is up to.” Marty rose to put his empty glass in the sink.

They stood in front of her bedroom, trying to listen in. “She’s reading. I don’t hear the keyboard keys.”

“Poor thing. We should help, you know,” Jerry said, grinning.

Marty nodded and knocked on the door. “Lacy. May we come in?”

“Sure.” After a few seconds, Lacy came to the door. “Whassup?”

Marty looked down and saw a book clutched her in hand. She was studying again. “Making any progress?” He pointed at the book.

“Well, I have found some interesting revelations.”

“Like what?” Jerry took a seat on the edge of their bed.

“There are some folks who actually live in a relationship like this as if it’s normal.”

“It makes sense.” Marty leaned against Lacy’s writing desk.

“Really?”

“We told you it’s not just about sex,” Jerry said. “If the right people are involved and they know what they’re getting into, it can be a very fulfilling relationship.”

“I’ll tell you something, I am learning a lot. Maybe by the end of the week, I can start my book.”

“Are you just going to read about the lifestyle?” Marty looked over her desk. Papers were scattered all about and he noticed they all had one or two sentences on them. Probably more of her past attempts at writing her story.

“You mean the DVDs?”

“Yeah, where are they? I didn’t actually read the back.”

Lacy rolled her eyes. “Up on the shelf.” She got up and pulled them from between a couple of books. “Here you go.”

Jerry got up from the bed and joined them. “
Love in Black and White and White
and
Sandwich of Love
.” Marty looked over at her.

“What? The clerk recommended them. I had nothing to do with it. ” She held up her hands.

Jerry took one of the DVDs and flipped it over, reading the back. “
Yolanda has a thing for her new neighbors, two college roommates. She’s determined to introduce herself and get a little friendlier. What happens when the frat boys want to get too friendly?
Oh, brother.” He shook his head. “Are you sure a woman produced and directed this?”

“That’s what she told me.”

“You could do a better script than this,” Marty said, taking the DVDs and putting them back.

“Oh, no. I have enough issues trying to write a novel, let alone write some sort of screenplay.” Lacy threw up her hands.

“Like I told you earlier,” Jerry continued, “you’re not going to get a real idea of a threesome by looking at a film. Yeah, the sex will be hot, you’ll get horny and that’s it.”

“But, I also wanted to see were the body parts went,” she protested.

“Oh, that shouldn’t be too hard. Just think of a sex scene with two people, then add…hmm.” Marty rubbed his chin. “I see what you mean. Well, there’s only one thing to do.”

“What?”

“You, me and Jerry have to make our own film, so to speak.” He wiggled his brows.

 

 

 

Chapter Eight

 

Lacy’s body tingled with anticipation. Could she do this? Looking at Marty and Jerry, it would seem like a no-brainer. Marty was her lover and best friend. He’s been with her through the good, the bad and the ugly, and vice-versa. He never steered her wrong and she knew he never would. Jerry was her buddy,
their
buddy. All three of them had been through a lot. Jerry always had her best interest at heart, too. Even when he’d turned down her advances so many years before, he’d done it for her own good. But he always loved her. She’d thought like a sister, but apparently more.
