Dave was constantly surprised by Sonia. In their six months together, she always kept him on his toes, and the lessons he learned from the blogs and other reading were often put to the test. Only occasionally did he have to step in and control; mostly he was satisfied letting her run with a scheme and was pleased with the outcome.
This news was in a whole different category.
"And I start Monday! I am so excited!" Sonia gushed over the news of the summer job offer she had just received.
Sitting in Sonia's apartment, they were enjoying a celebratory glass of wine that Sonia poured.
"I'm really proud of you little one, but are you sure you want to work there?" Dave frowned as he spoke. "At Vanessa's company? I've made some good connections before but never anything like this. And, it isn't in your field."
Just a week after Sonia and Vanessa's lunch date and with exams then completed, Vanessa surprised Sonia with the news that the pharmaceutical company she worked for had a summer position open up, helping to cover for vacationing employees. Vanessa had already put in a good word for Sonia and the interview she had that day had been a mere formality. It was entry level, of course, but the successful applicant would be exposed to many aspects of the business. Most of the job description was "other duties as required".
"It's not like I really have a field yet, anyway. I am a long way from a degree. But, the exposure will be great. I don't want to be one of those hapless nerds who have never done anything but physics or engineering or whatever," Sonia justified without having to stretch too much.
"But..." Dave interjected, pausing and not sure what to say.
"Vanessa? You two sure have become fast friends." This was the part that really concerned Dave. He was really fighting at this point to maintain his composure. Vanessa unexpectedly coming into the mix of their relationship was unnerving. His mind flashed through the memories of their meeting, the date they had had that very evening, and Vanessa's demands and encouragement that he take control that night as they fucked themselves silly. It was a turning point for him, realizing that women - at least the women he liked - would want a man to just simply take charge and not shy away from having his desires met. Sonia had balanced the equation, good little budding scientist that she was, showing how the comfort that he also offered created an intoxicating mix that would release a woman to be ferociously devoted and free.
Vanessa was responsible for Dave and Sonia getting together. Dave's fling with Vanessa was short-lived with one date followed by Vanessa letting him down, pretty damned easy, and nudging him toward Sonia. He wasn't aware that Vanessa had soon after developed some regrets about concluding their tryst. In fact, he had not seen or heard from her since that day. It was Sonia who was now enmeshed in some kind of weird, twilight zone friendship with his former lover. Any jealousy that he would have expected was nowhere to be seen.
"She is really amazing. I can't describe how we just, I don't know, relate. I know you too had a little something, but I am not jealous about it anymore."
Sonia thought better of telling Dave just yet of the stirring Vanessa and she had shared; there's a time for everything.
"Just remember. That doesn't give you license to be sniffing around, man-whore!" Sonia laughed as she tightly grabbed his crotch, snuggling into Dave as she finished.
Classes were now done for the summer and Dave spent the night with Sonia. In the morning, she got up to make coffee, then seeing him off as he went to the college to finish off the remaining administrative responsibilities he had left.
Sonia spent some time in the morning researching the pharmaceutical business. She connected with Vanessa on LinkedIn, made some recommended requests and joined some discussion groups there. She even found some blogs.
"People will write about anything these days!"
In the afternoon, she set to work planning Dave's birthday; it was now only a little more than a week away. She didn't really have a lot to do, but considering what she had in mind, she wanted it to be perfect. She planned a menu for the dinner in they would have, wrote out a shopping list, and schemed around just how to execute the plan she had in mind. That was going to be the important part of the celebration.
"Good lord, it's fun making these plans while I'm horny!" she thought to herself.

Monday morning came and it was Dave's turn to treat Sonia to coffee as she woke.
"Rise and shine, little one! You've got a big day ahead," he greeted as she was rousing in her bed. He still didn't know what to make of this situation, but he wasn't going to get in her way. She was proving to him that she was becoming adept at managing her life. She managed an interesting balance of submission and confidence. With Dave, she left him in control, but outside of that she was developing very strongly. He really didn't think that he could have loved a woman as much as he loved Sonia. She made sure that he knew how much she loved him, too.
After a small breakfast and Sonia's shower, Dave sat on the bed watching Sonia dress. She was naked as she rummaged through her closet and dresser drawers. When she observed him casually stroking his cock, she played it up a bit: bending over to pick up the panties she dropped, exaggerating as she pulled pantyhose up her legs, and adjusting her tits in her bra.
She kissed him as she was heading out the door, and whispered in his ear, "Whatever you do, don't touch yourself!
"Actually, go on my computer. There's a surprise for you there, lover." Then she left her apartment, sashaying almost comically as she walked down the hall.
Sonia's face filled the screen as he unlocked the laptop. The pause had left her with a goofy expression and Dave hit play. Doing her best Marilyn Monroe, Sonia sang
"Happy birthday, to you.
"Happy birthday, to you.
"Happy birthday, Mr. Pro-fessor.
"Happy birthday, to you."
"Dave, sweetheart. master. You've made me a very happy girl. It's not your birthday yet, but I want you to know that I have something very special in mind for you."
The view zoomed back to Sonia lying on the bed, in one of his favorite outfits. She encouraged him to stroke himself as she toyed her pussy and massaged her breasts. Dave complied, and soon came all over his belly.
"Fuck, that girl drives me nuts.
"But wait. Who was operating the camera?"

"Dave is so lucky to have you,
Miss Chase
," Vanessa had gushed as Sonia got dressed.
"Listen, Vanessa. I am lucky to have him. I don't buy all this feminist shit about girls just being fabulous, blablabla, and he should worship at my altar. If I want that, I have to earn it. And frankly, I don't want it. He gives me what I want by being stronger. I don't know exactly why you passed on him, but I am so glad you did."
"Can I tell you another secret?" Vanessa had become concerned about where she was going, but she was drawn into Sonia's strength and felt a building need to reveal herself. "I had a hand in getting you two together, I think. When I saw you in his office that day, I knew you wanted him. Where do you want this camera?"
"I think right at the foot of the bed. I want to be able to zoom into just my face, but make sure it can capture the whole bed.
"Really, now," Sonia encouraged Vanessa to continue as she pulled on her corset.
