Something other than sex.

Sam emerged from the bathroom, still red in the face. "I leave you two alone for 10 minutes and you're already at it. God damn, that was intense."

Janet raised her eyebrows. "How do you think it was for me? I was downstream of both of you. I really need a shower now." She thought for a second. "Here's an idea. Sam, why don't you- oh, dammit, you already thought of this, didn't you?"

Jake was grinning. "Yeah, I wonder what would happen if Sam went to sleep right now. Even if Janet just has the same reaction as Sam, I can talk to her and suss out more of what she's feeling."

"Or not feeling." Janet was picking up on Sam's memories of the event. "It seems like she was pretty neutralized."

"I'm also the only one not covered in sweat and I'm exhausted, so that plan works for me. Oh, and we're all on the same page about sharing Jake's bed, right?"

"Yeah, Jake's page." Janet said ruefully. "I don't think I would have liked that idea before today but it seems pretty reasonable now that I share all of Jake's thoughts."

Jake and Sam blushed. "Ok, ok," Jake said, "it's weird when you draw attention to stuff like that. Sam, you ready for bed?"

Sam nodded and walked into the bedroom. Jake and Janet were alone once again. "So, Janet. You're, uh, a student? How's that going?"

Janet laughed. "Dude, can the small talk. It's doubly awkward for me even being filtered through Sam. Here, let me help Sam fall asleep." She moved around behind him and delicately placed her hands on his shoulders.

As she began to rub, they both sighed in unison. "That feels really nice." Jake said. "No kidding." She replied. "I hope it's helping Sam sleep. Mmm, I'm feeling pretty sleepy already."

She continued to massage him in silence for several minutes. After a while, her massaging began to slowly taper off. When it was done, Jake turned to look at Janet. Her eyes were staring straight ahead and her hands at were her sides. "Janet?"

"Yes?" she responded without looking at him.

"How are you feeling?"

She furrowed her brow slightly. "I'm... not feeling anything. I don't feel bad or good right now. I don't really want to do anything."

He was getting a little turned on by her condition. "Sit next to me on the couch." he demanded, and she immediately did as he said. "Look at me." She turned to look at him and he made eye contact. Her eyes were vacant and her face slack. Jake had an idea. He picked up her limp hand from her lap and pinched her arm hard. Janet didn't react at all. "Did that hurt?"

"Yes." she said monotonously.

He then leaned over and kissed her gently on the neck, reaching one hand up to tease a nipple. She was completely still and non-responsive. Returning to his previous position, he held her hand. "Did that feel good?"

"Not really. It was arousing, but I didn't enjoy it."

She continued to stare blankly at him while he thought about what to do next.
