Q: Are you in love with him?
A: Nah, I have a boyfriend for that.
Q: Does your boyfriend know about Nyall?
A: Sure.
Q: And he doesn't mind?
A: Hold on. Baby, do you mind that I fuck Nyall Anderson every once in a while? Nah, Cole's good with it.
There were only a couple who veered from the general "Nyall is a sex god and I'm happy to lick the crumbs from his plate" theme. And they were clearly one-offs.
Q: What is your relationship with Nyall Anderson?
A: We were involved a while back.
Q: Girlfriend-boyfriend involved?
A: Kind of, I guess. In a way.
Q: Do you ever see him now?
A: [sigh] Not for at least a year.
Q: Was he good to you when you were involved?
A: The best.
Q: Did he ever do anything, um, bad?
A: He paid my mortgage off without telling me, and I accidentally overpaid, and it was a bitch getting the money back from the bank.
Q: Did he ever do drugs?
A: Hey, don't even go there. That's a deal-breaker, so if you're into the stuff, just don't bother. He's squeaky clean.
Q: Er…did you fall in love with him?
A: I could have. I really could have. But I had two other boyfriends so I never really got to spend that much time with Nyall.
Q: How did the boyfriends feel about the time you spent with Nyall?
A: They didn't know.
Q: Did Nyall know about the boyfriends?
A: Not for a while. When he found out, he was upset.
Q: Jealous?
A: No, he just likes all the cards on the table.
Q: If he called you now, would you meet him?
A: Are you kidding? I'd love to, but my husbands are crazy jealous. They monitor everything.
Q: Oh, you got married? Congratulations.
A: Thanks.
Q: When you parted with Nyall, was it angry, or friendly, or what?
A: Friendly, I guess. He's kind of emotionally unavailable but I know I could come to him if I needed something.
Q: What is your relationship with Nyall Anderson?
A: We have sex a couple times a week. Sometimes we hang out at a coffee shop.
Q: That often? Are you involved in a serious relationship?
A: Nyall doesn't do serious.
Q: How long have you known him?
A: Oh, geez. Six, seven years, on a casual-friendly basis.
Q: How long has he been involved with you, um, sexually?
A: About six months.
Q: Is, um, is he a good lover?
A: Fuck, yeah.
Q: So there's no emotional involvement?
A: Can you hold on a minute? I'm working on a project and I just have to…there. Something was wrong with the fonts but I think I have it worked out. What was that?
Q: Are you emotionally involved with Nyall?
A: By emotion, do you mean sex?
Q: Uh, yeah.
A: Yes, we're sexually involved.
Q: Does he do drugs?
A: Absolutely not.
Q: Is he ever abusive?
A: I saved it. I know I saved it. Which version…oh, it was on the big drive. Sorry. What was that? Abusive? No, Nyall's not into pain.
Q: Um. What do you mean, into pain?
A: Sadism. Not his scene.
Q: Oh. What is he into?
A: [smiling] Orgasm. Just orgasm.
Q: Do you ever get jealous of Nyall Anderson's other lovers?
A: Interesting question. Only in an abstract way.
Q: What do you mean?
A: Listen, he's busy, I'm busy…not much time to meet. Speaking of which, I'm on a deadline. I can take one more question.
Q: Um, okay. Is Nyall awfully, awfully rich?
A: Gotta be. He's invested quite a bit in my project, anyway. Hey, can I ask you a question?
Q: [coughs] Sure.
A: Are you thinking of starting a thing with Nyall? Is that what this is about?
Q: Kind of, I guess.
A: He's a great guy. Good luck.
Q: Okay, thanks. [pause] Do you have any advice for me?
A: Sure. Don't get possessive. Don't lie. Don't get sappy. Don't boss him around. What else…it's not printing? Hold on. Well, damn. That didn't format. Look, I have to go.
Q: Thanks for all your time.
A: Sure. Maybe we can have coffee sometime.
Q: I'd enjoy that.
Exhausted now, Janey nibbled her lip. After the way she'd spent her Sunday, the idea of talking to Nyall on the phone tonight was a bit much.
She sent off an email instead.

RE: Vacation
Hi Nyall,
I was surprised to get your email this morning. I thought you'd forgotten all about the elevator incident.
You really canceled all that stuff? Just to help me with my virginity issue? That's nice of you.
Thank you for the references. I called all those women. I also looked you up online. You seem to be extremely rich. But at least you don't do drugs.
Would you mind not calling tonight and instead just telling me about the ground rules in an email? I've had a long day talking to all your mistresses.
Thanks,

RE: Vacation
Janey,
Well. I have to admit, I didn't expect you to really call them all.
Here are the ground rules.
1) I'll be teaching you about sex. So while you're with me, you'll need to do everything I say regarding sex without questioning it.
2) While you're with me, for simplicity's sake we'll be exclusive. You don't fuck anyone else, I don't fuck anyone else.
3) I don't know what the girls have told you, but don't make any assumptions. If it's not here in the rules, don't expect it.
4) Sometimes I'll need to work. So I'm sure will you. Work always takes priority.
If those sound good, let me know.
As to being older, one year doesn't really count. Experience does.
Best,
Nyall Anderson

P.S. Your business needs a rebranding.
P.P.S. They're not mistresses. They're sex partners.

RE: Vacation
Hi Nyall,
Everything you say? Without questioning it? You mean like obey your every sexual command? You can't be serious. I'm a virgin. None of your mistresses mentioned anything like that.
The other rules sound fine.
How do you know I'm only a year older?
And what's wrong with my business name?
Thanks,

Janey,
I know you're a virgin, that's why you'll need to let me lead. Just do everything I say and you'll be fine.
I enjoyed fondling you to orgasm on the elevator, by the way. I liked how wet you were even before I touched you. Do you always get that wet in elevators with strange men? I guess you're lucky that even us rich, unattainable gods have capable hands….
You told me you were 29, remember? Also the report confirmed it. You went to community college. You have a pack of sisters, a mother, and an aunt, but no father. Ever think maybe that's why you're clueless about men? (By your own admission.)
No comment on your company. Just trust my instincts on this.

Nyall,
No, I don't get wet all the time with strange men. It's more the elevator I'm attracted to than the guy. You should see me with the antique ones with the wrought iron gates. You were just kind of a bonus.
What report? Am I assuming right, that you had me investigated? Why would you do that?
If I have to do everything you say sex-wise, then you HAVE to do everything I say cooking-wise. It's only fair.
Thanks,

Janey,
I think I'm getting a sense of why you might still be a virgin. That's a sharp tongue you have.
You were hot in that elevator. Hot and very aroused. I wanted to put my finger deep inside your pussy when you came, but the camera made that impossible. Your orgasm would have been better if we'd had privacy. I'm looking forward to having privacy with you.
Report is routine. Not a big deal. I didn't learn about your double life as a cross-dressing cat burglar, don't worry.
If I have to let you boss me around in the kitchen to get your obedience, then so be it.

P.S. I think about that day in the elevator every night. It makes me hard as a rock. You were very sweet.
Janey found she couldn't reply to his last email. Not because of how late it was. It was after ten, and she didn't have to go in to work on Monday. But she found her body was in turmoil.
Her orgasm would have been better? What did he mean?
And what freakish thing had happened, that he seemed to have a thing about her now? It makes me hard as a rock. Janey got up and began to pace. She could feel that tight tension in her loins that was starting to become familiar.
She paced faster, aware of an all-body flush that was making her extremely uncomfortable. Suddenly she realized that she was sexually frustrated. Beyond frustrated. Wild. She'd never felt like this before. What she wanted was to be sitting in that elevator again, Nyall Anderson behind her, and his hand down her pants.
It was at least three weeks away to their vacation. How would she handle waiting three weeks?
Swiftly, she sat down and typed out an email.

RE: Vacation
Hi Nyall,
This is embarrassing. I'm having a problem. What you said in your email made me feel really hot. I don't know what to do. I know we're not going to start this until October. But you're supposed to know so much about sex. What can I do? Please help. I keep thinking about being in that elevator now. I'm sorry if this is bothering you about something that's not your problem.
