Summer's (Almost) End
Note: The descriptions and accounts in these stories are fictional and do not portray any actual people or events.
Pillow talk with Summer was turning out to be a lot of fun. Once she realized she could tell me about her fantasies without fear of them being repeated, she had a lot to say, and every time I gave her another idea, her amazing brain ran with it. Given her intellect and vocabulary, she was a lot of fun to listen to. She described it best herself: "I'm not sure my invagination can keep up with my imagination!" She wanted to try.
Her vocal stylings had a galvanizing effect on me. She was like a sexualized princess, and her choice of words and inflection altered my circulation quite dramatically. She had a way of saying the word "dirty" like "duh-rrr-tee" that spoke almost directly to my spinal column -- exciting me beyond belief. Maybe if I had grown up in England it would have sounded routine to me, but to my Americanized ear it was incredibly hot. She knew that whispering "duh-rrr-tee" in my ear would send me into orbit. Sometimes she would grab my cock and then try various adjectives modifying "dirty" to see what got me the hardest.
I knew how she classified things by correlating her words with her Suzie signal. She had several levels of "dirty". "Deliciously dirty" were things she had already tried and knew that she liked -- extended foreplay, cunnilingus, fellatio and most recently analingus. Then she had "daringly dirty" which were things she hadn't done yet but knew she wanted to -- with anal intercourse being next on her hit parade. She also wanted to go to a nude beach, although she wouldn't consider one anywhere near England. Her fantasy plan was to go to Australia where she knew the language and would fit in, but no one would know who she was. I volunteered to help with the sun tan lotion. Come to think of it, with my father's available and almost inexhaustible bank of frequent flyer miles, I could swing tickets for both of us. Because she had watched some specialized porn when she was in school, she also wanted to be an anonymous masseuse dressed in a robe and veil, giving a muscular man a happy ending tug job at the end of his massage. The man was not to be allowed to touch her, of course.
Then there was "darkly dirty" which involved a threesome with a man and a woman, and with two men. Talking about this made her hot and wet instantly, but she was not sure she could "go through with it." I made it clear it was my decision, not hers, and she shivered, but her Suzie said she liked it.
Finally, there was "desperately dirty" which seemed to involve her making it with half a dozen men or women, dancing nude in front of people she knew, or fellating multiple men while she was blindfolded. These were things she said she would never actually do, but thinking about them got her hot. It gave me some ideas, too.

Monday morning found Drummond McFadden and I finishing off our first run through of the operational model for the tunnel complex. Oliver Hastings Harrison narrated, editorialized, and quizzed us on it, spinning off hypothetical scenarios that we had to consult the model to analyze. After we had been through several simple and apparently frequent historic problems, he gave us three new potential disasters to analyze, with the assignment to devise a plan to respond once they had happened, and another plan for changes to make sure to prevent them from happening again. He said each one would take us at least a full workday for us to complete, and bade us report to him at 0730 GMT Thursday to present our recommendations.
I was struck by something about the third one, and spoke without editing my thoughts. "I don't think the model is going to help us with that last one, sir. If I understood the basis and assumptions of the model as you described it, it can't comprehend that scenario and couldn't be used as a predictive tool for it."
OHH looked at me funny. "You may be smarter than you look, Roberts. The model can only give you a list of things to consider for that one, but it can't generate a response for you. Perhaps you and Mr. McFadden working diligently together can asymptotically approach the performance of one decent engineer. Figure it out!"
With that he turned on his heel and disappeared into the hallway, yelling at his assistant to summon his car and driver.
Drummond laughed. "Never a dull moment, eh Roberts?"
"Not so far. This trip is much more interesting than I thought it would be." In several ways, I realized, thinking about Summer. "I might find school boring when I go back."
He shrugged. "I worked and schooled alternative semesters like you are doing. It gave me a much better perspective on things, and I think I learned more in my classes at school as a result. I damn sure made more money than most. I got a degree with no outstanding loans, which is more than I can say for most of my classmates."
I thought about the interruptions in my social life. "But it does put you out of synch with other students sometimes."
He groaned. "Aye. My ex-girlfriend dumped me because I was only there for her every other semester. I be gaggin' fur it!"
"I beg your pardon?"
"Solid up."
"What?"
"I see you've lost touch with your Scottish roots, Roberts! I am bereft of sexual satisfaction. Desirous of more frequent intimate contact. My pipes are backed up, I'm horny, gaggin' for it!"
"Oh, I understand now."
"Plenty of professionals around here, but that's not my style. No telling what kind of unusual North African micro-organisms I would end up with! Are you gettin' any in Jolly Old England?"
I realized I was grinning my shit eating grin. I was having some of England's best. "She is a lovely young lady and I am proud to call her my friend."
"Oh, hoots, Roberts. She must be het!"
"You mean heterosexual?"
"Well, that too, but I mean het as opposed to cold."
I just smiled. But it gave me an idea. I realized my relationship with Summer, while meeting my family criteria for making sure she knew I cared about her, was mutually agreed to be very limited in duration. That opened some possibilities that had not occurred to me with Lara, Suzanne, or Nora.

While I rode the bus back to Wingham Monday evening, my curiosity about Mallory's canine training got the best of me, and I realized that Jeeves, Abelard Peters' retired military chief of staff, was my best source. I had to call Tessa to get his number, which also required me to accept an invitation to a party this Saturday thrown by some Tattler types. Since Summer had an event that night, and my services were not required, I could fit it in.
Armed with his contact info, I left a voicemail message for Jeeves that included Mallory's tattooed serial number and a few unexplained symbols, plus the name of Nelson Darby, Summer's dear departed husband. I was on my own tonight, so I stopped by the Indian place and sat down to some Chicken Chili Masala, which was the spiciest thing they had on the menu. It was not exactly habanero hot, but it was enough to give me a few dreams. I tried to talk the chef into making some full up hot red curry Chicken Vindaloo, which I had experienced elsewhere and expected was even spicier than the Masala. He looked embarrassed and said something in what sounded like a heavily accented version of Nora's semi-conversational Portuguese. The young and very comely waitress giggled and averted her eyes.
