A Rite Of Passage.
We have to earn a rite of passage from our Peers, which can take many forms.
My name is Frazer Montgomery, MacPherson-Hythe, quite a handle and history in it's making, Mac for short, 24 years old. I work for a company called PetroAlba plc just off the Broomielaw. My 14
th
floor backside goldfish bowl office with head-to-toe smoked glass windows looks down onto back alleys and the entrance to a private 'gentleman's' sauna. Was tempted; not good to shit on your own doorstep though.
We are a, front end engineering design [FEED] company for oil & gas work I work in the business area. Company was started by two guys three years ago with an office under railway arches 500 yards away, they are now thirty of us in the office with three new starts joining next week. We are competitive and innovative in the work we do and how we win new and grow work, if you catch my drift.
A good size contract is between one hundred and five hundred thousand, following a successful business trip to Thailand with one of the company owners Gregor and my line boss. I am now business lead on winning a contract worth ten million, which will more than double our (backlog) order book. No pressure; I will need to be personally innovative and accommodating to close this deal. I work 60 hours a week, not complaining getting commensurate salary and bonuses.
Today is special for me, we finish at noon on a Friday and I am meeting up with my Uni friend and thesis buddy Kerry, we have history going back to our final year in business studies. We graduated together she went south for work I joined PetroAlba, that was over two years ago.
She had a falling out with her boss he wanted her to offer personal incentives to clients to win work. She told him then showed him where to stick his job, didn't press charges he put it down to experience being a better option than publicity. Her father was Marine Recon and had shown her self-defense since an early age.
We are in the middle of a heat wave and it is a fantastic day I am to meet Kerry on Hope Street near the station entrance, never was a street so apply named, we were going to go for coffee and hopefully rekindle things.
As I crossed over Argyle Street I saw her in the distance, wearing white high drawn-in waist shorts and a short mesh top exposing her bare midriff, long tanned legs, long blond hair flowing halfway down her back set her off perfectly. As I approached weaving through equally scantily dressed pedestrian's, milling about, she turned put her arms around me, hugged and kissed me. I never felt so good, my mind jumped leaps and bound ahead thinking off rekindling the good times we had.
We were, still are, completely different characters when we first met, she was bubbly confident and a great looker. I took life seriously and was boring according to my friends. We were great together balancing out each other's excesses and shortcomings. She was and still is gay and has paid fun with swinger companion's.
My enthusiasm crashed and burned when she told me we couldn't meet today after all. Was meeting a client, could meet tomorrow at my apartment. It was then I realised she was back on the game, as students and later she wanted me to do it with her as a duet.
Historic Hope Street convention was straight on one side and not-straight on the railway side of the street, when I looked back down the street convention still held. It was that time of the month when the stock market and commodity traders got paid their bonuses and would soon be walking the street to spend their bonuses on unadulterated and unregulated fun. Square was for after it was dark.
It was then that Kerry looked down the street and said.
"You need to go it will soon be fun time, go get laid and be paid for it too, you know you like it and you are on the right side of the street."
I walked-on weaving around hopefuls hoping to make their lucrative market bonus deals. As I approached the old station carriage side entrance, someone looking at me caught my eye and came over.
"Hi; I am Peter, Kerry said you would be available this afternoon."
We were both distracted with the sound of a car horn, turned, there was Kerry and a brunette in an expensive Porsche open top sports car waving at us as their long hair's flailed about in the Porsche's slipstream.
I was fed up being boring; "where would you like to go?"
We walked through the station and out the other side, his hotel was on the other side of the street. Room standard nothing special, asked "can I" nodded yes. He started to slowly strip me one item at a time as he palm rubbed my body as it was exposed then started to nibble my nipples. My only contribution was to kick off my shoes.
I was enjoying the erotic thrill standing their naked and it was beginning to show. Standing fully dressed asked "can I" nodded yes again. Took his phone, I stood, sat then lay back on the bed as he photographed me. Phone down climbed over me straddling my legs as he gave me a hand-job genteelly, it was erotic then a slow rise of my extasy then a volcanic climax.
Seductively more for my benefit he slowly stripped as though to music entertaining me, he had certainly used that foreplay before. I knew what he wanted and how. Pulled my knees up, legs wide open like butterfly's wings, he leant over and started to probe until ready. Genteelly he brought himself on as I lay back enjoying the pure seductive experience until he let go. It didn't end there, rolled over alongside me invitingly.
We lay alongside each other recovering wondering what's next. Our meditation interrupted when he asked "do you know any interesting clubs near an Italian restaurant?" I did. After I had banged him we showered before heading downtown to a restaurant I used for business clients. Afterwards we went to a stag night club called Ollys located up a double back ally.
The club was dark but air conditioned, once our eyes adjusted to the low lighting were shown to a table where the cabaret would be staged. Being a Friday night, club was well patronised by revilers. First on was a parade of newbies for a rite of passage event, which I had experienced a while ago, hadn't been back since though.
The parade was along a catwalk apart from wearing a numbered armband they all were starkers they couldn't see us because of the stage uplighting blinding them. It was a self-confidence initiation, I could feel their heart pound as mines did. Each table had a counter, punch in a candidate number and mark one low to ten high, criteria was up to you, then you could bid for their company. Winer would get a monetary prize, participant's an opportunity to collect what was bid for their companionship. Peter scored them abstaining from bidding.
The midnight cabaret started with scantily clad dancers who danced until they were fully disrobed, their apparel being tossed into the audience as trophies. It was here I first met Kerry, didn't know her then, she sat on my knee and caressed my ego, it was to be over another year before we met as students. Final act two guys giving a live sex show their climaxes were real.
Before we parted Peter treated himself to a gloryhole thrill, although tempted I refrained. Peter wanted to explore the club bukkake facilities and would make made his own way back to the hotel. Envelope in my pocket headed back to my apartment.
Next morning I decided to have a long warm slow soak in my doubled ended copper bath, opulence, even dropped in one of those mood soap bombs. I couldn't get Kerry out of my mind and what I did yesterday to please her. Would be visiting me this afternoon. I lay back in the warm water letting my mind drift back to how all this came about.
It started in my fresher's week and its extended happy hour, by tradition we all got blootered, I was no exception. I came-to in a strange bed in one of the halls of residence, lying naked on a bed with only a plastic dust sheet on it.
Between, where I hurt, back and front, mess on the sheet and me it was obviously a track meet; my first time. With whom a mystery to this day, nobody cast anything up or made any innuendos, wakeup call for the booze at least. Only indicator was three felt pen mark ticks on my left hip. After that I became a serious reclusive student, I had nobody to talk to about it, to exorcist my recurring dream demons of what may have happened.
I put it at the back of my mind, met Keith a student on the same study cadre as me, we became study buddies. Keith had a bed sit, a family friend house share, I lived with my parents we flirted between the two places using them as study hovels.
Keith's house share owner Tim was a naturist, professional photographer and a bit of a card, about twenty or so years older than us. Keith was a closet exhibitionist until Tim brought him out of the closet, now had a tendency to wander about partially dressed or naked, I was the opposite.
