Virginia stood there, immobile, staring at the four of them."Wha-what area" The words simply wouldn't come out right.
"Come with us, my dear," Burt said. Jade took her by the hand, smiling sweetly, and the four of them led her into the elegantly appointed dining room of Burt's townhouse. They seated her at the table. Burt served a fine brandy to all of them.
And they explained.
The four of them had been friends for many years. Each had found success in his own field. Jeff was one of the city leading Realtors. Chad was one of the best copywriters in the advertising business star quality, in fact. Jade was a model, and had done a few films and when she wouldn't amplify that, Virginia quickly guessed what kind offilms. Burt was a systems analysis consultant one of the best in the field.
All four of them had money. And all four of them had something else in common, as well: voracious, almost insatiable sexual appetites, though each had his or her own peculiar bent as far as that went.
"The problem was," Jeff said, in that smooth, well-modulated voice, "that there are three of us men and only one of Jade."
"But-but didn't any of you have other girl friends?" Virginia asked."Oh, sure we did," Chad said."But we believe in sharing. That usually led to problems except with Jade, here."She smiled impishly at him and squeezed his hand on the table.
"You see," Chad said, "Jade's own proclivities run to a mild sort of masochism. She likes to be used by men and women. And she's sufficiently in touch with herself to realize that and accept it for what it is without inhibiting hang-ups."
"But that still leaves a problem," Jade said, her eyes fluttering beautifully."After ten years of passing me around between them, so to speak, and taking them on at the same time, an element of repetition enters the group. We find each of us knows exactly how the others will react and whatthey'll do next. That's nice but there has to be something of the unexpected, as well, to make it truly satisfying to us."
"And that," Burt said crisply, "is why we set up Fun-Mate."
"Huh?"
Burt smiled at Virginia."We four pooled our resources and talents and set up Fun-Mate. Oh, don't misunderstand me it does do what it says it does. We do match people up, complete strangers. But I've programmed the computer with a little something extra. We sat down and figured out exactly what kind of a person would best fit into our group and enjoy it. And then we told the computer to tell us whenever anyone like that filed an application."
"And I fit the bill, is that it?" Virginia asked. The fiery taste of the brandy had helped her recover her wits and senses the more quickly and she found herself strangely able to function in the absurd situation.
"Fit the bill?" Jade echoed and then laughed. Her laughter was like wind chimes in a breeze, soft and melodious and soon all four of them were laughingChad suddenly saw the look of alarm on her face."No, no, we're not laughing at you," he said.
"Certainly not, lovely lady," Burt added."Butyou just made the understatement of the year. Virginia, your responses were the optimum, the best we could have hoped for. The answers you selected on your questionnaire were identical to the very ideal we had, chosen. In fact, when the computer kicked it out to us, I thought one of the others had filled out a questionnaire as a hoax. After they convinced me that you were a real person, I was certain that you'd turn out to be… well, certainly not as attractive as you are!"
"Well, then, what next?" Virginia asked with the boldness of the brandy.
"Well, we'd like you to join us, of course," Jade said."I'd like it very much."
The others echoed that."Fine, but does it stop there?" Virginia asked."I mean, when will you have enough in your group? I'll be the fifth member. Will there be a sixth? A seventh? How many more?"
"We don't intend to put a limit on it," Jeff said."You see, the only ones who are recommended to us, as it were, by the computer share our personal preferences and sexual attitudes. There may, of course, be some minor differences, but they will be quite negligible. Nonetheless, if you decided to join us and I hope you will your preferences will go into the special program, so that any future names picked out for us will also meet your specifica-tions. And they will be similar to us in the same ways that you are and when they add their preferences into the special program, the names kicked out will be agreeable to all and do you see how it works?"
Virginia nodded."Then slowly but surely, you'll have an ever-growing, ever more varied group of people involved until would it ever have to stop growing?" she asked suddenly."No, it won't," Burt said with quiet efficiency."Now, what we'd like to know is. Will you join our little group?"She thought, tipping her head to one side."If you'll tell me one thing."
"What's that?" Chad asked.
"What do you call your group of sex maniacs?"
"We call it, uh, well…" Jeff seemed suddenly hesitant."Computasex," Jade said quickly, then blushed at her own impatience."Well, I really do want you to join us," she explained almost defiantly.
"Computasex," Virginia repeated, rolling the syllables around on her tongue."I think I like that."
"Then you'll join?" Jade asked hopefully."How could I pass it up?" Virginia answered."Of course I'll join."
"Oh, good!"
"I think this calls for a celebration," Jeff said, smiling slyly."Why, I believe you're right," Burt agreed, his own smile insinuating.
Chad joined them as they all looked at Virginia with hungry eyes. She knew that look, knew it and welcomed it. Already, she could feel the familiar warmth creeping through her cunt and it wasn't dampened in the least by the touch of Jade's soft, small hand on her thigh, high up near her crotch."How, uh, would you like to celebrate?" Jade asked quietly, leaning her head so that she was pressing her own pale forehead to Virginia's, so that her own raven hair was mingling with Virginia's fiery-red tresses."Well, I think I should get an idea of what I'm getting into," Virginia replied. Jade pressed her soft, full lips in a long, deep kiss, her vixen tongue flick-flicking out to tease and duel with Virginia's.
"Or what's getting into you," Burt corrected with a lecherous grin. They led her out of the dining room and up two flights of stairs to the top floor of the building. There, fully half of the top floor was comprised of a singe room a bedroom.
And almost every square inch of floor space in that bedroom was covered with a gigantic, soft mattress. Overhead, a skylight looked up on the indigo sky, and for the first time, Virginia realized what the time of day was: nearly dawn. She mentioned that to the others, and pointed out that she had to get to work."Oh, right, we forgot to tell you," Jade said."You'll come to work for Fun-Mate. I do, myself, right now, manning the phones."Virginia remembered the vaguely familiar voice that she hadn't quite been able to place. Here and there, the single soft bed surface projected upwards in various shapes. It looked almost like a soft, abstract modem sculpture of a forest in one corner. Recessed spotlights in the ceiling cast a soft, even glow over the room."What should we do for this?" Chad asked."Ummmm… since it's her first time with us like this," Jade said, "let's all gang up on her." She turned to Virginia."Think you'd like that, Virginia?"
