Preface
Summer Hire
is set a few years from now, when vaccines have been developed to prevent all sexually transmitted diseases. This happy idea is the author's justification for a complete absence of safe-sex practices throughout the story.
In total,
Summer Hire
has fifty chapters and over a quarter million words. The first third has been posted on Literotica.
In the story, our heroine Melissa discovers a world of romance, filled with kinky BDSM. While Melissa's primary orientation is heterosexual, many chapters include female/female sexuality and a couple of chapters have brief scenes of male/male sexuality. Melissa's journey into this polysexual/polyamorous world of BDSM is definitely "safe, sane, and consensual". It's also extraordinarily hot and kinky.
To begin her journey, however, Melissa has to stop choosing the wrong path...
Tall, Dark, Handsome
The sudden screech of an alarm clock filled the small room. Melissa's arm flopped out from under the covers. She swung her hand in a well-practiced arc, slapping the snooze button into silence. Satisfied, she snuggled deeper into bed.
Sleep, unfortunately, proved elusive. A nagging feeling itched at the edge of her awareness. When all her determined attempts to ignore the feeling failed, she finally pushed herself back into a semi-sitting position, propping herself against a heap of pillows that occupied the head of her bed. She tried lifting her eyelids slightly open, but the brightness of the sunlight flooding into her room proved too unpleasant. With a sigh, she let her head roll back and wondered what was bothering her.
"Oh, him." Memories of last night poured into her consciousness.
"Tall, dark, handsome... and a bad boy" she told the empty room. A small grin pulled at the corners of her mouth. "I fall for bad boys every time. Though, he was kind of cute. And
way
too sexy."
Her smile faded into a frustrated grimace. "But, like all the rest, a true asshole. Goddamn it!" She angrily slapped a hand against the mattress.
"One of these days, you'd think I'd get it through my damn head. Bad boys are never worth it. It's a stupid addiction."
She'd gone out to a local club last night, by herself. After a long semester, she wanted loud music and someone to dance with -- someone who wasn't a grungy grad student, trying to be a hipster. Then, he had somehow materialized at her side, leading her out into a mob of people dancing.
During shouted attempts at conversation, she discovered he was a bond trader. He had a tall, lithe body. As they danced, she found that she couldn't pull her eyes away from him. His hips sometimes made little half circles that seemed to connect directly to her pelvis. As the night wore on, she rode a wave of arousal, occasionally rubbing up against him, stoking the warmth that was burning within her. An obvious bulge in his pants made his feelings clear as well.
After playfully egging each other on for most of the evening, he finally pulled her in close and kissed her, hard on the mouth. She was surprised at his abruptness. Horny as she was, however, she gladly followed his lead. When his tongue pushed down against her lips, she opened her mouth and let him in.
It was exciting to be making out in the middle of the dance floor with one of the best-looking guys in the club. His kissing was more forceful than she liked, but that didn't bother her too much. She wanted to scream out, "See, look who I got! He's hot, and he's mine."
When they broke apart, he smiled down at her, radiating a self-confident, bad boy grin. The little bit of material that made up the micro thong she had boldly chosen for tonight was already wet from the playful arousal they had been building all night long. Now, it was soaked.
She should have known from his bad-boy cockiness that she was about to travel down a well-worn path to an unhappy place. The roar of her hormones, however, completely drowned out any sense of rationality.
His gaze traveled over her, arrogantly certain that she wanted him. She didn't even have to look down to know that her nipples were making noticeable bumps in the smooth flow of her silk tank top.
In a brief moment of doubt, she wondered if she should have worn a smooth-cup bra instead of the flimsy underwire one she had picked out. Then that moment was past, flung by her gleeful arousal into the dustbin of foolish regrets. She reveled in being wanton, feeling the rush of knowing that she was making him equally horny.
Moving closer, she reached for his hand, deliberately letting her hand brush against the straining lump in his pants. She leaned in to yell, "Want to dance again?"
His grin grew more wicked. "Naw, let's get some air."
She yelled back, "Okay."
A moment after the word was out of her mouth, she realized that she had agreed without even thinking. "Crap," she thought, "that's the problem with getting so damn hot. I get stupid!" Smiling anyway, she walked toward the entrance holding his hand.
As they walked past the bar, she saw at least two women enviously tracking her progress. A couple guys were ogling her as well. Normally, those sorts of stares would make her self-conscious and angry. Now, it was just another turn-on. She was startled to find herself subtly pulling her shoulders back and showing off her breasts even more prominently.
She was usually too self-conscious to draw attention to her chest. Since 14, she had been a C cup. In the summer, when she wore light clothing, the stares from boys and men made her feel as though she was only a pair of boobs.
Even as a 25-year-old grad student, she still found herself getting angry at those stares. "So what if I'm at an Ivy League university? Almost perfect SAT's and GRE's? Who the fuck cares? And God forbid if I ever go out without a bra."
Her girlfriends in college had complained that it was unfair she could still get away without needing a bra. Gravity hadn't yet taken its inevitable toll. Sometimes, when she got tired of having bra straps digging into her shoulders, she did go without support, but not tonight. She had learned early on that light clothing and no bra was a huge mistake.
Walking past the bar, however, she thought it would have been fun have only been wearing her gray silk tank top, without even her flimsy underwire bra. Somehow, holding hands with the cutest, tight assed bad-boy in the whole place made a big difference. She found her hips moving a wider circle in her tight jean miniskirt, as she catwalked in her three and a half inch tan summer sandals. She found herself imagining being one of those Victoria Secret models that all the guys went stupid over.
"Sure, I'm 5

not six foot. Nobody needs to know that my tank top is untucked, so it hides the pudge around my waistband. None of that shit matters. Tonight, I'm sexy and they know it."
She could feel that her own body knew it too. The slick wetness of her freshly shaved labia sliding against her silk thong was proof enough. "Let's face it," she told herself, "you went out tonight to get laid." She looked over at her bad boy. He grinned back confidently in response to her glance. She continued to herself, "And wow are you gonna get laid tonight!"
Then they were out of the night club. The door swung shut behind them, suddenly muffling the roar of the music to a dull booming. Even though it was May and the day had been warm, Melissa was surprised by the crisp coolness of the night air, especially in contrast to the humid heat of the club. She shuddered and felt little goosebumps on her arms. She grinned to herself and thought, "Yeah, I bet my nipples are really popping out. What the hell? He'll appreciate the show."
Out on the street, however, she felt a little less certain about the wisdom of leaving with someone she had only met tonight. Warning notes about past flings with bad boys tried to push their way into her consciousness.
