Shaun has just spent a memorable night with Cam, a divorced former employee. She's a good friend of another former employee of his, Sherri, who's now married, with whom he had a long, steamy relationship three years before. All three have an addiction to sex.

Time: The Next Morning
I was shaving, using a razor borrowed from Cam, and staring at myself in her bathroom mirror. She was in the shower, humming happily to herself as she washed the previous night's sexual gunk from her body. "What's that you said?" I asked, unable to hear her soft voice over the noise of the shower.
"I said, 'I'm so glad I found you when I did'," she fairly shouted.
"Downstairs from the bank in the bar? I thought we met by accident," I responded, honestly.
"I've got a confession to make," she said, shutting off the water and emerging from the shower dripping wet. "A while back I did some detective work and spoke with someone in your office. They told me where I might be able to find you." Cam wrapped a towel around herself and kissed me lightly as she withdrew something from her medicine cabinet. It was a pill in one of those drug sample envelopes with advertising on the outside, marked "Plan B." She popped the capsule and washed it down with water as I climbed into the shower.
"It's good to see you taking extra precautions," I said, referring to the "morning after" drug she'd just taken. She said something in response that I didn't hear because I'd turned on the water, but I decided to wait 'til I was finished cleaning up to continue our conversation.
"Did you hear me say 'I'm ovulating'," she said as I exited the shower, her gray eyes unbelievably round and innocent. "Marsha suggested I get the pill. She's my therapist…my sex therapist."
That aspect of Cam's life – her friendship with Marsha – became instantly clear. "In that case, I'm
delighted
that you're taking that pill. We could have waited, you know."
"I couldn't," she said quietly, fastening a gold chain behind her neck so that the nipples on her naked tits pointed skyward. It was all I could do to refrain from bending down and suckling them. "I'll start birth control pills on Monday, but…it was critical that we make love this weekend."
"Because your daughter, Amy, was spending the weekend with ex-hubby Darryl?" I asked, drying myself fully.
"Partly. But mostly it's because of Sherri," she admitted.
"Why? She's been married for three years and is 500 miles away!"
"Yeah, but…oh, Shaun…it's just that…don't you see?" she babbled.
"See what?" I was getting perturbed at Cam's sudden inability to speak her mind.
"Well…Sherri's marriage is a mess. Her husband's a brute…a real control freak. He doesn't want any kids, something she's always wanted. And he forces her into – I don't know how to say this – he forces her to entertain his business acquaintances…physically. We've been in constant touch since you left the bank…she flies up every couple of weeks and we…well Shaun, I'm the only friend she has!" Cam gripped the edge of the wash basin counter, hung her head and began searching for words.
"But she fucked your former husband!" I exclaimed. And then the whole thing hit me. She'd previously admitted to sharing a bed with Darryl and "one woman."
It had been Sherri
! I realized. "Wait! You two are…uuh…you're…".
"Yes!" she said, snapping her head upright and staring at me with moist eyes. "We're bisexual…and we're lovers!" she said tearfully. "Darryl eventually hurt her almost as much as he did me, and now she's in another thankless marriage! We're both desperate to hook up with a caring man. That's why I finally arranged to see you again! Only this time I'm
gonna get some of the big prize!"
"I'm no prize, Cam," I said, admitting the self-contemptuous rationale that underlay my sexual obsessions. I stopped short of telling her about my sexual addiction.
"Well, you are to me!" she said, embracing me with her nude body. "I've dreamt about you for years while Sherri's been asking about you. She's flying up in a week and wants to see you. That's why I wanted us to…to get together before she…she saw you again."
I ran a hand over Cam's gorgeous butt, up her back to her face and kissed her softly. "Even at the risk of getting pregnant?" I asked, as my other hand stroked her lower belly.
"At least now I know you don't think I'm too fat," she said, relieved. This woman had truly suffered from the cruel barbs of her ex's remarks…so much that she couldn't view herself objectively as the amazingly attractive woman she was. I wondered the extent to which her poor self-image had driven her into a physical relationship with Sherri.
"You're much too submissive, Cam," I said, ignoring her more obvious strengths.
"You're right, Shaun…sexually, anyway. But I
like
it so much…like I'm a slave to my appetites or something…a nympho. And watching people screw drives me wild! That's why I want you as my lover…you're assertive yet stable…and at the same time you're tolerant of my foibles. Oh, don't look so worried. It doesn't mean I want to get married. I let runaway sex ruin a marriage once before. I just want you to be a good friend to me and my little daughter and I'll do whatever you want me to do. Okay?" she asked, like a little girl, as her soft hand dropped to stroke my cock while she stood on tiptoe to kiss me.
Whatever I want
, I thought, her words echoing in my ears as I drew her lush form against me. A devilish voice in my brain told me that I wasn't the person Cam thought me to be, nor was I a man to whom to grant such license.

I was ambivalent about seeing Sherri. As things had turned out, any pleasantries between us would be phony, I thought. Particularly given her closeness to Cam, I thought it best to keep my distance. So, when she flew up from San Diego with tickets to the Friday seasonal opening of the opera, I urged them to have a girls-night-out for the formal affair. It would give them a chance to dress up and rub elbows with the upper crust in the city and discuss me between themselves in my absence. It would also give me a chance to spend a weekend home alone, though I planned to see Cam on Sunday after Sherri's flight back to San Diego. Ultimately, I was afraid that I'd go sexually crazy with Sherri around.
I dropped Cam at her place after work so she could make weekend preparations for her nanny to stay. Then I drove home and cooked a bachelor dinner for myself, relaxed with a book, some music, and a tall glass of scotch. At about 11 p.m. I broke out the videos I'd taken of a new client's data processing facility that I'd shot with my video camera. In a minute the phone rang. It was Sherri's low, sensuous voice.
"Well, hello there, Shaun. It's Sherri. How've you been?"
