Blurb: Sheila has always known her husband Pete is bisexual — his attraction to guys is part of what attracts her to him in the first place. But since they’ve been together, he hasn’t been with anyone other than her, male or female. Still, she can’t help but wonder if he doesn’t miss sex with men.
Sheila wants to reward Pete for being so loving and faithful … and she’d be lying if she didn’t admit that the idea of watching her husband have sex with another man turns her on something fierce. So she offers him a threesome, on three conditions: one, it only happens once; two, she gets to watch; three, and/or participate.
Pete jumps at the chance, but is hesitant when he discovers who Sheila has picked as their third wheel — his best friend Bryan, who has been half in love with Pete for years. When Sheila propositions him, he quickly jumps on board. But Bryan has never been with a woman before, and Pete’s afraid their friendship will suffer once they have sex.
Will Sheila be able to juggle both men and pull off a hot evening for Pete’s sake?

Review: This short story was quite nice and fun. Sheila is married to Pete and he is bisexual. Now the good little wife is a girl who loves boys who love boys, and the fact that her husband might be missing a certain male part pushes her into considering a threesome For Pete’s Sake. So who better to join them than Pete’s own best gay friend, who has been in love with him forever? Well that was a bit awkward but the guys and gal manage to overcome all shyness and get to the hot stuff.
Thing is that this was a very good idea, but it could be better. The fact that this story is told with Sheila’s voice gives you a clue as what to expect. We have a strong female character here that will jump at the opportunity to make her sexual life as spicy as she can. Nothing wrong with that.
The idea of a ménage was absolutely brilliant, why I do envy her, but I got a bit frustrated with the sexual scenes themselves and the hasty/hazy description. The author here shied away from some acts that would have heightened the heat level up quite a few notches. There was a 70-30% focus on girly bits vs. boy bits here, as in the sexual action for the woman was more explicitly described that that of the guys. The prelude or foreplay was given more attention that the whole rest of the fun and all in all, there were things that were hastily hidden away as if the author was afraid of revealing too much. What with this being an erotic story the explicitly described scenes expected were a bit lacking.
Still as I said, it was a fun read and enjoyable one at that.
