Free Friends With Extra Benefits by Luke Young

moment. "You know that policewoman
thing was ninety-nine percent her idea also."
    "She told me it was mostly your idea."
    Nodding, not at all surprised, she added
casually, "She lied. And I'll bet this hot tub thing was her
idea."
    "It was!"
    "She was going to parade you out in front of
everyone with an erection... somehow."
    He shook his head and took a deep breath. "We're
a couple of morons, and she's this genius puppet master. We're just
pawns in her little evil game."
    "She's a little bored. She's not getting
laid."
    Brian narrowed his eyes. "I don't give a shit if
she's not getting any action. She shouldn't go around screwing with
people like this. She needs another freaking hobby."
    Jillian nodded her head in agreement as they
stared at each other, both feeling stupid. As the anger boiled up
in Brian, she looked away, contemplating their options.
    He said, "I'm going over there right now to give
her—"
    "No."
    "Why not?" He stared at her gape-mouthed.
    Returning an evil grin, Jillian said, "Don't say
anything to her. She wants you over there on Saturday, right?"
    "Yeah." He gave her a confused look.
    "Here's what we’re going to do…"
    Brian was all ears.
    Over the next few days, Jillian and Brian spent
hours planning their mission, code-named Operation Erection Shield.
The name was Brian's idea; since the previous one was called
Erection Storm, it just made sense.
    Jillian avoided seeing Victoria for the entire
week because she feared, in person, she would probably give
something away. She did, however, spend a lot of time on the phone
with the pregnant schemer as they plotted the events of Victoria's
original master plan.

    That Friday afternoon in Philadelphia, Caroline
fidgeted in her seat, bored out of her mind as her professor droned
on about social media's impact on marketing in the Internet age.
Pulling her phone from her purse, she checked the time. Still
fifteen minutes to go. She scrolled through pictures and stopped on
an image of Jim, shirtless, playing tennis. She stared closely at
his firm, muscular, sweaty body as she ran her tongue around her
lips. The previous night, they were supposed to do it but didn't.
They ended up falling asleep instead, but now she wasn't tired, and
she wanted to do it. She really wanted to do it.
    Switching to her messaging screen, she sent Jim
a text, asking what he was doing and telling him she missed
him.
    Caroline glanced up at the professor and
pretended to listen as she waited for Jim's reply. After a few
minutes and no response, she sent another text, this one detailing
exactly what she wanted to be doing with him right at that moment.
Closing her eyes, she began to fantasize about her steamy message
while she unconsciously and slowly ground her hips into the chair.
After a few minutes, she pulled herself back to reality and glanced
around the room to be sure no one was staring at her.
    Finding no one the wiser, she sat up straight
and let out a long, slow breath. With a naughty fire in her eyes,
she sent one last graphically explicit message about what she was
going to do to him when she returned to the apartment in just ten
short minutes. He was instructed to be ready.
     
     
    In the apartment they shared, Jim was wearing
only a towel as he sat on the sofa, wearing a big smile in the
midst of a phone conversation with Victoria. She had just finished
telling him all about the trick she and Jillian were planning to
play on Brian. He couldn't believe his brother was actually falling
for it, and he promised not to give it away if they spoke. Next
they discussed the recent checkup with her OB GYN and how both baby
and mother were doing fine. Jim had ignored the three beeps he
received for new text messages, as he was engrossed in Victoria's
captivating story.
    After sharing what he and Caroline were up to
lately, Victoria started telling him about her experience with the
two lacrosse players in the bar and her attempt to help Lisa lose
her virginity. It was at this
