Pleasure from pain: either you get it or you don’t. If you get it, then you don’t need detailed explanations because you are familiar with this amazing feeling, and if you don’t get it, then no amount of talking will convince you otherwise. But sometimes you have to explain the inexplicable, especially if the love of your life needs to understand you or she will leave you. Jason Schuyler is one of Anita Blake's best friends and favorite werewolf. JJ is Jason's childhood sweetheart who dances in one of New York's top ballet companies. She is successful, beautiful and also crazy about Jason. Neither of them crave monogamy, so what could possibly go wrong? JJ is an avowed bisexual with a special focus on the female sex. She plans to continue sleeping with women because Jason cannot satisfy this need of hers, just as she cannot satisfy his need for rough sex and bondage. JJ can't understand why Jason won't get what she can't give him somewhere else, so he asks Anita to help explain it. Anita has a painful relationship with her only female lover, Jade. Jason believes that JJ can help Anita with her girl problem, and she in turn will help Jason with his strange explanations. With the support of several lovers, Anita reluctantly agrees, and JJ plans to fly into town for an experiment that neither of them will ever forget.
