"Pidge's Story" Jordan Shelbourne (jordan@u36.com). Jordan Shelbourne's stories are archived at http://www.u36.com/jordan.

This story combines elements of spouse watching stories (actually, boyfriend watching) with realistic emotions of ambivalence and jealousy. Although spouse watching stories are often quite enjoyable in their own right, they usually make the assumption that watching your lover boink someone else has no effect other than to turn the viewer on. In this story, the viewer does get turned on, but there are some other emotions as well.

The author hints at the beginning of the story that this story is not quite complete; and I suspect that this really means that he is not yet quite satisfied with the way he has handled these emotions. I think that problem arises from the fact that those emotions would be just plain hard to sort out. As it stands, I think he has done a very good job with this story.

Pidge has decided to break up with her boyfriend Ben, and she is doing this by introducing him to a threesome with her friend Mary. The sex is both hot and poignant.
