“Not just because I want to get laid," I insisted.

“You all made your point about solidarity with Neevie, but this is messing with all of our individual relationships while at the same time pimping ME to have sex with Neevie just to get back the intimacy I already earned with each of you."

Sam rubbed her right temple. "Yeah, uh, I didn't really think through that aspect of it. I'm sorry." She gave me a contrite Look.

Naimh spoke up from the armchair, "And I want to end the sex boycott too, mostly for the same reasons I originally opposed it. I'm thankful you all demonstrated your loyalty and friendship, but Matty's right in that the point has been made. I didn't Like seeing everyone else suffer on my behalf. But that's not the only reason I wanted us all to meet up."

Zofi leaned forward from the seat on my right.

“Why else?"

“Well... Matty gave me a bit of a challenge yesterday," Naimh explained, her eyes bright.

“I thought about it a lot last night, and when I woke up this morning I came up with a solution I think every girl here will appreciate."

Zofi Looked even more intrigued.

“Matty gave you a challenge?"

Naimh and Sam shared a look before Naimh explained, “My previous relationship with Matty was based entirely on sex. He said there was nothing Left to prove that we were sexually super-compatible, but if I truly wanted to rebuild our romantic relationship, I would need to prove that we belong together emotionally.”

Zofi frowned and looked over at Sam. Sam shrugged and gestured back at

Naimh. Alice, Belle, and Mari similarly exchanged confused looks.

Nobody seemed to have any idea what Naimh's solution would be.

"So..." the redhead continued, "I ran my idea by Sam, and she agreed it's worth a shot. But first I want to make utterly clear that I think the world of all of you. You are each wonderful, special human beings who all deserve love. So in a way, the silver lining in Matty and me breaking up is that each of you have this opportunity to try something we wouldn't have been able to try had he and I stayed together."

“WHAT is going on?" Zofi finally exclaimed, a little exasperated. "What is this silver Lining?"

Naimh blushed, perhaps having forgotten she didn't actually explain that part.

“Each girl gets to be Matty's girlfriend for one week. No more ‘Neevie Mondays’ or ‘Alice Tuesdays’, at least while we're in this experimental phase. You can take it as far as you two are comfortable with or don't do anything out of the ordinary; it's entirely up to you

You can share him with the other girls if you want or keep him all to yourself for just a little bit. For a week at least, you get to be his primary. On Fridays, we can still hang out and mess around together as a group, and Matty doesn't have to touch me if he doesn't feel comfortable doing so. But at least I can play around with the other girls and maybe watch him pounding the shit out of some of you."

I raised my eyebrows.

“Do I get any say in this?"

“Of course you do. This is just an idea," Naimh insisted before turning beet red and looking embarrassed. She managed to mutter, “We're not... uh... pimping you."

Sam stepped forward.

“Just... think about it before you make up your mind one way or another. And the same goes for everyone else. Neevie and I have already agreed to give this a try."

"Me, too!" Alice shot up her hand. "I wanna be Matty's girlfriend for a week!"
