Li-mei

The studious young Asian woman looks up again from her notebook as you approach.

"Hey... Suzy, right?" she asks with a friendly smile.

"Yep, that's me, and you're Li-mei... did I say that right?" you ask, unsure of your pronunciation.

"Close enough," she responds before looking back down at her notebook and reviewing her notes. "Suzy... Carter. No, you're Suzy Jones now." She looks back up at you. "You're married?"

"Guilty as charged," you say jokingly and raise your left hand to flash your wedding ring.

"Ah, I see," she says as she jots down a few more notes.

"What are you writing?" you ask curiously.

"This is my research journal for my dissertation on group sex dynamics," she explains matter-of-factly. "I've been participating in threesomes, orgies, gangbangs, and other group sex events to gather data on why people engage in group sex and how it impacts their relationships and perceptions of others as well as themselves."

"Wow!" You're genuinely impressed. "Wait, you said you're participating, not just researching?"

"The best research is done in person, and active participation is the only way to gain first-hand knowledge and experience. Besides..." She leans in with a smirk. "It's more fun this way."

You can't help but laugh. "I can't argue with that."

"All in the name of science, of course," she adds.

"Of course," you say with a knowing grin.

A moment passes before Li-mei speaks again.

"So, would you mind answering a few personal questions for my research?"

"Umm... okay," you agree hesitantly, wondering just how personal these questions are going to be.

"Great! Don't worry, you don't have to answer any questions that you don't want to, and your answers will be anonymous." she says reassuringly. "So, how many times have you had sex with more than one partner at a time?"

"Plenty," you say with a wolfish grin.

"Do you like having group sex more than one-on-one sex?" she asks.

"I like them about the same, but for different reasons. Group sex can be really intense and a great endurance workout, but it doesn't have the same personal intimacy as one-on-one," you answer.

"Fair enough," she says. "Okay, you said you're married. Is this your first marriage?"

"Uh huh," you answer.

"And how long have you been married?" she asks.

"About five years," you answer.

"Does your spouse know you're here?"

Your cheeks flush. You weren't expecting her to go straight for the infidelity questions.

"It's okay. This is about science, not morality. There's no judgement or anything you need to defend or apologize for, and you don't have to answer if you don't want to," she says, trying to reassure you once more.

You take a deep breath. "Okay. No, my husband doesn't know I'm here to fuck my old college boyfriend and possibly his groomsman the night before his wedding day."

She scribbles down some notes. "How many sexual partners did you have before you were married?" she asks.

"Too many to count," you answer with maybe a hint of pride. She grins a little as she writes down your answer.

"And how many sexual partners other than your husband have you had since you've been married?" she asks.

"Also too many to count," you answer with perhaps a little less pride in your voice.

"Does your husband know about all, some, or none of your other partners?" she asks.

"Only the ones from before we started seriously dating," you answer.

She nods. "And what about your husband's sexual partners? Do you know of any from before or after you started seriously dating?"

This question gives you pause. Of course you know Dave got around about as much as you did when you met him, but as far as you know your pussy is the only one he's had since you two have been together. Then again, you just told Li-mei how he doesn't know about all the sex you've been having behind his back. What if he's been doing the same thing behind yours? You've had suspicions at times, but never any proof. Then again, you've never really gone looking for proof either. Have you been afraid of what you would find?

"He had several partners before me, but I don't know of any after we became a couple," you finally answer, though the time it took you to respond causes her to raise an eyebrow.

Knock, knock.

The doorknob turns, and the door opens just a crack.

"Li-mei?" You hear Derek's voice on the other side of the door. "You're up now. Suzy, get ready. We've been saving you for last."

You look around and notice that Jessica and Brittany are already gone. Derek must have already come for them while you were talking to Li-mei.

"Okay, I'm coming," she says as she sets aside her notebook and heads for the door. Just as she leaves, she turns around and gives you a wink.

"For science!" she exclaims.

"For science," you respond as she leaves with Derek.
