If you have read 'Helping Melinda Be Naughty Ch. 2, you can scan down to THE BEGINNING. (The next three paragraphs are catch-up. If you haven't read Ch. 1, you might enjoy it -- I sure enjoyed writing it while getting to know Melinda and Jake better.
----------------------
BACKGROUND:
Jake and I have been close friends for years. I've known Jake and Mel as a couple for years, too, but not socially because they traveled in the married-with-family crowd (two daughters in college) and I lost my membership after a sad divorce that is another story I hope never to tell. Today I am a confirmed bachelor with a mutual-comfort friend named Tess, a rarely-in-town United stewardess flying world routes.
Melinda, usually called Mel, is bright, personable, and attractive, but more like perky-cute than stunningly beautiful. Her ancestry is Irish: auburn hair, cut short but stylish. Her eyes are blue and usually smiling, her chin is a bit pixyish but it all works together nicely, especially when she smiles and the dimples appear. Jake is bright and personable, too, and has that annoying clean-cut, All-American look that keeps some guys looking youthful forever. If you saw them on the street, you could easily imagine them as co-greeters at Sunday morning worship services.
A few months ago, Mel ambushed Jake with the news that she had become obsessed with sex, at least in part triggered by porn. She confessed that she was making regular use of plastic friends and that she wasn't sure that she could resist 'acting out.' They (Mel & Jake!) asked me to help Jake "keep her fever down" -- thus far by periodic 'parties' at their home. The latest party moved us beyond the original playful exhibitionism-voyeurism. Mel had decided we could better understand her if we had a live demonstration of her 'responsiveness.' She called that phase, 'understanding her body.' The next phase has been billed as 'understanding her mind.' I was somewhere near awestruck by her responsiveness. In a clueless guy moment, Jake confessed that he was surprised, too. We have no idea how she will teach us about her mind.

THE BEGINNING Ch..3
Our traditional party night is Saturday, and the 'Understand Mel's Mind' meeting was scheduled for the Saturday after next. We had discussed early that timing needed to be spaced out to keep things fresh and exciting and to avoid burnout.
Nonetheless, my phone rang at about 3:00 on Thursday afternoon. "Hey Sam, it's Mel, I've got you on speaker..." Jake shouted, "Hey, ol' buddy, it's Jake, howz it hangin'?" It was evident that they were both in a happy place.
"Sam, it's Mel again... " "Hell, Mel," boomed the normally quiet Jake, "I bet he recognizes your voice." And they both laughed like the comic's family at a stand-up comedy club.
As the laughter subsided, I got in my first words since hello. "What's happening?"
"Things are mostly great," said Mel, "I actually got Jake to take the afternoon off.." She paused, "... to tend to my needs." There was another burst of happy laughter.
Some instinct told me I should escape the moment. "That's great, you can tell me all about it next week."
"Here's the thing, though," Mel said, "We've come up with a new idea."
"Which is?"
"A quickie!" As has often happened, I couldn't prevent laughing out loud at the antics of a woman I had thought to be prim and proper a few months before."
"And what, pray tell, is a quickie?"
"It's where you come over and we give you a drink and put you in a fantasy we're talking about. Then you can cum and go home." They were both chuckling merrily again, so it was apparent that Jake was in on the scheme.
"When?"
"In the next two minutes if you can," laughed Mel. "Buddy, you're gonna love this one," shouted Jake, "guaranteed."
Okay, we have here a classic case of a person needing to stand firm against temptation. We already had a plan for connecting nine days from now. There was clearly no crisis in their relationship. The slope was potentially slippery if we ignored our 'space things out' guideline. So I contemplated all that and said, "I can be there in 45 minutes."
A quick shower later, as I drove toward their house, I tried to critique my woeful weakness, but once again Mel magic had won the day. There was really no other explanation. I also considered the possibility that her quickie might be a light-hearted interlude before next week's heavy-sounding exploration of her mind.
