Chapter One
Â
âIf you want to keep your man, youâre going to have to do something drastic.â
Jody watched her best friend Mary Sue shove clothes into a suitcase. She clasped her hands tightly together and prayed for her friend to drop this crazy idea. No way on this blessed Earth would she go to a âsex school.â Even whispering it in her brain felt dirty. Unclean.
âYou listening to me, Jo?â Mary Sueâs voice got higher pitched. She hadnât heard her this mad since, well, the last scandal hit the newspapers. âYou know as well as I do, God doesnât help those who donât help themselves. Well, this here is your chance. Start helping.â
A tightening took ahold of her insides. Could she do this? At 27, sheâtheyâhad four children. The Lord knew she knew how sex worked, a bit too well. Truth was, the dear husband believed in conjugal visits whenever he wanted. Too bad he never learned to keep his cock in his pants, or within their marriage.
âI donât think I can do it. It isnât right.â She shook her head, refusing to open her eyes. If she did, she might have to face the truth. âItâs not godly for a woman.â
âGodly?â Mary Sue took Jody by the shoulders and shook her like Jody never would jangle one of her babies. âDo you think itâs âGodlyâ to fondle your siblings, and get your rocks off while your wife is at home pregnant with your kids? Do you want me to go on?â
âPlus, what about those reporters who keep calling the house?â Once Mary Sue got on a roll, it was impossible to stop her. âDo you plan on opening your doors and doing interviews? Your louse of a husband took the easy way out, and heâs out of the public eye. What about you?â
Good thing she hadnât told her friend about the call from the network, too. Right now, she couldnât even think about doing another show. Resignation settled in. There was no mistaking that she needed an escape, time away from the responsibilities of day-to-day life. She couldnât deal with the pressure and the media. No one would suspect that she, a fine, upstanding Christian woman who promised to âstand by her man,â would ever dare to step foot into a sex school on the other side of the country. San Francisco no less, where people who believed in the homosexual lifestyle lived.
Mary Sue had offered her a lifeline here. A long weekend of babysitting. Sheâd contacted the school, and did all the paperwork. Sure, they had testing for STDs and everything, but with Jodyâs background, they werenât that worried. If heâd been cheating on you, though, maybe you werenât all that safe. She pushed the thought aside. She shouldnât question the veracity of what her husband said. When she met him and married into that crazy family, she had no idea what it would all entail.
Until death do they part? Well, this marriage was turning out to be the death of them. Or one of them.
âYou know what?â Jody said, turning toward her friend, and picking up some clothes off the bed.
