As satisfied as Lauren is with her new marriage arrangements, namely keeping Alex in chastity while she visits her boyfriend, Lauren can't let herself be satisfied. It isn't because of Alex's latent bisexuality bubbling up, she finds that interesting and exciting. The only thing to do is to trauma dump on her friend Annie. Lauren wants to shock her friend, but Annie is intrigued at their new marriage dynamic.

This is an erotic story that contains explicit sex and sexual descriptions. All characters are adults and consenting. Intended for adult audiences only.

EXCERPT:

I dramatically threw myself on Annie's couch and said, "My marriage is a shambles."

She barely looked up from her yogurt as she ate at her desk while reading some file in front of her. "Uh-huh."

"Don't you want to hear all the details?"

"I'm not your therapist, Lauren."

I zipped open my purse and threw a dollar on her desk.

"There. Now you're my therapist. I'm having problems in my relationship with Alex."

"I'm not your therapist, Lauren. Even if you have paid me the grand sum of...one dollar? That's just insulting!"

"You were my college roommate for four years," I reminded her. "You're giving me the friends and family discount."

"As a therapist, it would be against best practices for me to have friends and family as clients."

"Last week I had sex with someone other than Alex," I said, staring at the ceiling, going into traditional Freudian analysis mode. I knew that Annie didn't do that, but the couch was too much to resist.

"Uh-huh," she said, clearly not believing me.
