“Venus, you know what?
I’m going to tell you something
and I don’t want you
to get offended or feel shocked
by it so I’m warning you,
it’s pretty wild.”

“Sometimes, actually quite often,” she admitted, “Claude and I fantasize about you in bed. I think I need to just throw this out there for you to swallow, or spit out. Claude’s birthday is next week. Actually, it falls on Thanksgiving Day.”

“And?”

“And, I thought it would be a great idea to ask you to be his present, so to speak. You know, to ask you to be part of a ménage à trois, so to speak.”

“With you and Claude?”

“Yes, with my Claude and me.” It was like she was begging. “Venus, try it with us. Just this once. Please. If you don’t want me to touch you, I won’t. I just want to watch Claude fulfill his fantasy.”

“That doesn’t threaten you? What if he seems like he’s enjoying himself a little too much?”

“That’s the point.”

“You trust Claude that much?”

“I trust you that much.”
