An Affair with an older married lady... and the aftermath...

[Haodimilo]

I was at Fu Lin yong tau foo last sunday, saw a hot milf with her son, with the cleavage showing.. i was thinking... Could this be Ann?? Couldnt stop looking!


TS pls continue!

[ibanezjem555]

Jiat lat.. luckily he serving army and can recognise the boobies trap everywhere..
Worse is having a hard on and got a honey trap and cannot sleep..
Like a grenade pin tied to his shift.. one wrong move will explode..
Frustrated and rock hard..

[Shrouded]

I exited the Bedok exit on the ECP.

However, instead of turning right towards Upper East Coast Road, I went straight towards Bedok, and turned left onto Upper Changi Road.

Alicia: Where are we going?

Me: Wrong turn.

Alicia: Don't bluff. You want to go Hotel 81 right?

I didn't know why I was headed in that direction. But it was definitely in the general direction Hotel 81.

Me: Errr...

Alicia stroked my thigh.

Alicia: You sure you want to do this?

Me: No I'm not sure.

Alicia: You're just upset with my mother.

Me: Yeah I guess.

Alicia: So to punish her you want to fuck me?

Me: No…

Alicia: How do you think she'll feel?

Me: I don't know. Betrayed?

Alicia: And you still want to do it? What if she kicks you out?

Me: Are you going to tell her?

Alicia: No. I trust you didn't tell her about the past 2 nights as well.

Me: I'm not stupid.

Alicia: Then what are you waiting for?

Me: Would you be ok with just cuddles?

Alicia: Naked cuddles?

Me: If that's what you want.

Alicia: You know I'm going to use you as I please right?

Me: So be it.

Alicia: I know you'll stop me if you think I go too far anyway.

Me: Yeah.

Alicia: And that's one problem with you. You're too… Po ma. What's the word in English?

Me: Wishy-washy?

Alicia: Yes!

Me: How so?

Alicia: Based on what you told me, you could have fucked Amanda right in front of mom. But you didn't.

Me: Yeah.

Alicia: You could have fucked me last night. You didn't.

Me: That wasn't really on my mind.

Alicia: Something is wrong in your head. You let people use you and you don't see anything wrong with it.

Me: Do you think what you, your mom, or Amanda is doing is wrong?

Alicia: Of course it's wrong. Maybe not so much for mom since now she can legally and morally be with you.

Me: Then why still do it?

Alicia: Because I don't give a fuck. My life is boring. I need some excitement. And you are so convenient.

I managed to find a parking space in front of the hotel and we went in, surrendered our identification.

Alicia: Transit.

She seemed really experienced at this.

Alicia: I want the room with the bathtub.

I didn't even know Hotel 81 had bathtubs.

We got the key, got into the lift and headed to the room.

Upon unlocking the door, Alicia pushed me in and quickly bolted the door.

I sat on the bed. She turned on the TV. We could both hear the sounds of sex from the neighbouring rooms.

Me: You're right.

Alicia: You never came to a Hotel 81 before?

Me: Not when I was sober.

Alicia: With mom?

Me: She chose really nice places.

Alicia: Well I'm not my mom. If I wanna fuck, I'll do it wherever I want.

She removed her top and struggled out of there jeans, and stood there in her matching red bra and panties.

Me: Looks familiar.

Alicia: What I bought yesterday.

I admired her figure. It was really curvy. Maybe a little disproportionate at the top. I wondered where she got the genes from.

Alicia: Aren't you gonna take off your clothes.

I did and I was already hard.

Alicia: Nice. I see you're ready.

She approached me. And all of a sudden, I wished I wasn't in there with her. She noticed it.

Alicia: Having second thoughts?

Me: Sort of.

She removed her bra and panties and came closer to me. Her chest was mere inches from my face. I resisted the urge to reach out and touch her.

Alicia: What about now?

I stared at her fully naked body for the first time we weren't in darkness. Her skin looked unnaturally smooth, except for the odd mole or blemish here and there. Her large papaya-shaped breasts sat nicely on her chest, her areolas dark, her nipples already erect. Her tummy still showing signs of her baby fat. Her pussy lips were plump. Hidden under those folds was her juicy abalone.

Me: Well… I am ok with cuddling.

Alicia sighed. Maybe she too was having second thoughts.

Alicia: Do you want to shower?

Me: Together?

Alicia rolled her eyes and pulled me off the bed, dragging me to the bathroom. There really was a bathtub, but it looked suspiciously stained. We stood in the bathtub and Alicia turned on the water. I jumped as the icy cold water hit me. She took some shower cream from the dispenser at the side. Something about this family really liked washing their guys. Maybe they really wanted us clean before they used us. Or maybe I watched too much japanese soapland porn.

The shower cream was not really foamy. Alicia rubbed it all over my body. I was a little disappointed with myself. 10 years ago I still had a fit and lean body. Muscles in the right places. Probably the way Alan was now, just slightly bulkier. The years of bare minimal exercise as mandated by the army and an uncontrolled diet meant I now had fats in all the wrong places. Maybe if my tummy was smaller my dick would appear bigger. Then Ann and Amanda would make fun of me less. Alicia was different though. The way she caressed the foam all over my body indicated she either didn't care about the idealistic perfect male body, or she was so desperate that she simply took anything that came her way.

Alicia: Why do you shave?

Me: It's cleaner. Why do you wax?

Alicia: It's cleaner too. I hate it when I use pads during my period and the blood gets all over.

Me: Use tampons?

Alicia: I tried. But kept getting infections from it.

Me: You can't stick things inside of you?

Alicia stroked my dick.

Alicia: Things like this are fine. Never got an infection from sex.

She knelt down in front of me and soaped my balls and stick. I was pretty sure she wasn't going to blow me while it was soapy. Again, I wasn't sure how far I wanted to take it with her as well. She stood up after what seemed like another medical examination. I wondered if she wanted to be an urologist.

I took some shower cream and rubbed it over her body.

Alicia: I can clean myself.

Me: You don't want me to touch you?

Alicia: Yes. Don't touch me. Or I might rape you.

Me: Oh.

Alicia: And I don't have condoms. Do you?

Me: Nope.

She soaped herself in front of me in a surprisingly not seductive manner. She was really getting herself clean.

After washing off the foam, we dried ourselves and stepped back into the room.

I took my clothes and prepared to get dressed.

Alicia: What are you doing?

Me: Going to buy condoms?

Alicia: Your seconds thoughts are to fuck me?

Me: Well…

Alicia: I don't need condoms. Barely use them. Besides, the amount of precum you've leaked on me might already have gotten me pregnant if I wasn't on the pill.

Me: So why do you need condoms?

Alicia: Disease protection you dumbass. You've been fucking my mom who's been fucking god knows how many other guys. And you haven't been tested.

Me: Wait… so you suggested coming to hotel even though we're not prepared to do what?

Alicia: Cuddles? You said cuddles. I like cuddles.

Me: You like rubbing on me too. Aren't you afraid of catching something that way too?

Alicia: Of course I am. But the risk is lower. I think.

Me: I wouldn't know.

Alicia: Why do you think I haven't tried to blow you?

Me: Because I've not been tested?

Alicia: Well that's one reason…

Me: What's the other reason?

Alicia: I don't want this to be a one-off thing.

Me: Meaning you want to do this with me long term?

Alicia: Why not? I really really like your hugs.

Me: What about your mom?

Alicia: You won't tell her.

Me: Wait. So what you're saying is you just want to use me for your own pleasure, whenever it's convenient, for as long as you want?

Alicia: More or less.

Me: And why would I agree to that?

Alicia: Because it's in your nature to make people happy without considering your own needs or wants. Your sexual release will come from my mom or sister, I'm sure of that.

Me: Can I say no?

Alicia: You can. But you didn't. I know you don't want me to be unhappy.

She pushed me onto the bed and immediately got on top of me. She adjusted my erection till it was in the appropriate position.

Me: You're not wet.

Alicia: I will be. Besides…

She rubbed my dickhead.

Alicia: You're leaking again.

She started rubbing up and down my shaft and I just lay there letting her do whatever she wanted. My hands wandered up her butt, her sides, up to her chest. She slapped them away.

Alicia: I didn't say you could touch me.

She took my hands and placed them on her hips.

Alicia: You can hold me down if you want. Increase the pressure.

Me: Does it help?

Alicia: Of course it does. I use less energy this way.

Me: You're weird.

Alicia: So are you.

After she came from the external stimulation, she lay down beside me, head on my chest again, slowly wanking me.

Alicia: Think you can cum from a handjob?

Me: Rarely if it isn't my own hand.

Alicia: Do you want to cum? Or are you saving it for mom?

She wanked me hard and fast.

Me: That's not the way to do it.

Alicia: Really?

Me: Every guy is different.

Alicia: Show me...

[BroRelax]

Damn, am having a hard on reading your post and im in my office!

[Xander21]

woooo damn ~ its finally the alicia show time baby

[Tango321]

Woah cock standing up in office too... The story is good.. Keep on cumming pls bro!

[DDAMn]

Sorry to ask bro while u were doing tat with Alicia.What was going on in ur mind? Lust?Get back to Ann for her remark?Or just going with the flow to see where it going to lead to.Sorry for these questions just want to know whether the impact action of tat moment got gave u a sense of regret?satisfaction? or fulfillness of a phantasy?Sorry if i sound annoying but just want to.thanks.

[cutecuteboy]

Don’t need to think..
Fark first, talk later.

Talk so much, think so hard, later will regret if never fark.

[Neoguri]

Great story!
Keep it up!

I feel it is worthwhile to play hard-to-get by men too.
Most men won't do it if they can get a quick ons, but in the case of TS, you have Ann in your pipeline and you don't have to be too desperate.

This is a bit of mind control so that Alicia and Amanda don't think and behave like they call the shots.
Turn it around and make them submissive if they want you.
Don't know how the story will work out but this is one possibility.

Checking this thread a few times a day for your update!

[unsung80]

This is becoming an affair with an older married lady..... Daughters.

[Shrouded]

Me: Show you?

Alicia: You said I'm not doing it properly right?

Me: Not for me.

Alicia: Then show me how you do it.

Me: Errr…

She removed her hand. I grabbed my own dick and stroked in long steady strokes, using the foreskin as well.

Alicia: I was doing the same thing. Just faster and more rough?

Me: It feels different.

Alicia: Why?

Me: I don't know.

I continued stroking.

Alicia: Well?

Me: Well what?

Alicia: Are you going to cum?

Me: No?

Alicia: Why not?

Me: It's not instant. Need to be aroused.

Alicia: You mean you're hard but not aroused?

Me: Not really.

Alicia: I'm naked beside you and you're not aroused?

Me: I think it's a different kind of arousal?

She grabbed my hand and wanked me over my hand.

Alicia: How about now?

Me: It's different.

She let me go.

Alicia: Don't you use lube? All those shows there's always a box of tissue and some lotion.

Me: I don't need.

I continued stroking.

Alicia: Why is it taking so long?

Me: It's not even a few minutes.

Alicia: Hand so slow? Won't your hand cramp?

Me: Haven't encountered that yet.

Alicia: This is boring.

Me: You want me to show you or not?

Alicia: It's EXACTLY what I was doing!

Me: No it's not.

Alicia: Let me try.

She took over and replicated my movements.

Me: Nope. Feels different.

Alicia wanked harder and faster.

Me: Already told you that doesn't work.

She slowed down. I put my hand over hers and guided her.

Alicia: I still don't get it. That's what I was doing.

Me: Have you actually made anyone cum from a handjob before?

Alicia: Nope. Only blowjob. And they came quite fast.

Me: Well the feeling is different. Even the way a blowjob is done can feel different.

I continued wanking using her hand.

Alicia: This is damn boring. If you're not going to cum can we just cuddle?

Me: Sure.

She released my dick and snuggled closer to me, wrapping her leg over me. My dick was dangerously close to her pussy yet again. I hugged her tightly.

Alicia: You see. This is so nice. How come guys don't like to cuddle. It's like blow, fuck, cum, hug awhile, fall asleep.

Me: I don't know. Everyone is different.

She reached around and grabbed my cock again, wanking me slowly, trying to do it the way l liked, except this time, she was rubbing the head along her pussy lips.

Alicia: How's this?

Me: Err… nice?

Alicia: Gonna cum?

Me: Nope.

She rubbed the head between her pussy lips and shuddered.

Alicia: How about now?

Me: Nope. Not gonna cum. And I'm not wearing a condom.

Alicia: I know.

Me: Thought you were scared of diseases?

Alicia: I'm not putting it in.

I looked at her. Her eyes were closed, her breathing was getting faster. She was biting her lower lip. I took the chance and cupped her boob.

Alicia: What are you doing?

Me: Touching you.

Alicia: I didn't say you could.

But she did not remove my hand. I took that as a sign that she was ok with it. She continued rubbing my head on her pussy. One wrong move and I would be in. It felt like she was controlling her urges to stick it in as well. I brushed against her nipple and she moaned. I took it between my thumb and index finger.

Alicia: You ass. Stop turning me on!

She rubbed me more furiously. I wondered if anyone actually came that way before. I pinched her nipple lightly and she gasped.

Alicia: Fuck you. Stop it.

But even as she said that, she was still rubbing me between her lips. I was definitely getting closer and closer to her insides.

I tweaked it again, rolling it between my fingers.

This time, she pushed my hand away and climbed onto me, sitting on my stomach. Her breathing was heavy, and she looked slightly flushed. She pinned my hands onto my chest.

Alicia: What the fuck are you doing???

Me: Trying to find out your sensitive spots?

Alicia: Why the fuck for???

Me: To make you feel good?

She let me go then lay down on me again, her pussy right against my dick.

Alicia: Don't laugh. But I've never been touched that way before.

Me: What?

Alicia: All my ex did was ask for handjob or blowjob. Then I ride him or he fucks me. Maybe sometimes he'll rub my clit. Then he grabs by breasts very roughly and I don't like it.

Me: So…

Alicia: You're very gentle. I'm uncomfortable.

Me: Why are you uncomfortable?

Alicia: Because you are turning me on too much. And I want to do things I said I wouldn't do.

Me: So it's ok for you to use me to pleasure yourself but I'm not allowed to pleasure you?

Alicia: Yes. Unless I let you do it.

Me: And you said I was the weird one.

Alicia: Let's stop for now ok? I might lose control.

Me: Ok.

She slid off me and lay by my side, her leg going across my body again. I hugged her and pushed her fringe off her forehead, planting a kiss there.

Alicia: Don't kiss me!

I ignored her and kissed her cheek.

Alicia: Stop!

I looked at her. A tear was forming at the corner of her eye.

Me: What's wrong?

Alicia: Just hug me. Please.

Me: I am hugging you.

Alicia: Hug only. Nothing else.

Me: Why?

The tear rolled down. She looked like she was about to cry. I stroked her hair.

Alicia: Everything I had before this was purely sexual. Now you're making me feel different.

Me: What we're doing is quite sexual.

Alicia: No. I mean… I don't know how to explain… you're making me feel different emotions. Not just physical sensations.

Me: I don't understand what you're trying to say.

Alicia: Forget it.

She blinked and more tears rolled down.

I hugged her tightly and we soon fell asleep.

Wonderful story sir. I actually read from page 1 onwards this 2 days!

[thevilone]

great update!!! need more!!

[newyorker88]

Sounds like Alicia never been loved. Just only sex only w other men

[Shrouded]

We were awakened by the room phone ringing. Alicia answered. There was 15 minutes left for our 2 hours.

Alicia: Do you want to extend?

Me: Up to you.

We decided not to extend and went to take a shower. This time we showered separately, she went first. I didn't know why Alicia would want to get the room with the bathtub since we didn't use it.

When she was done, she came out with the towel wrapped around her, as though to protect her modesty, or she was embarrassed about me seeing her naked. Perhaps despite her tough and prickly exterior, she was soft inside. Like a durian. I could tell something was affecting her.

I got off the bed and walked towards the bathroom fully nude, dick swinging away, trying to see her reaction. She turned away from me and didn't look at it. Maybe she suddenly became shy.

I showered quickly and dried myself inside the bathroom, before exiting naked to get my clothes. I found them neatly folded on the bed. Alicia was sitting facing away from me, staring at the wall. I got dressed.

Me: You ok?

Alicia: Yeah.

I went up and hugged her from behind. She shrieked and shrugged me off.

Me: What's wrong?

Alicia: I don't know.

Tears were streaming down her face. She quickly wiped it off. I tried hugging her from the front. She buried her face in my chest and sobbed loudly. I stroked her hair and tried to calm her down.

The phone rang again. We ignored it.

Alicia released me and wiped her tears again.

Alicia: Let's go.

We left the room, returned the key and headed to the car. I got in and started the engine, but did not drive off yet.

Me: Wanna talk about it?

Alicia: No.

Me: You sure?

Alicia: No.

Me: You can talk to me you know. I won't tell your mom.

Alicia: I don't know what happened. After just now, it felt like all those times with my ex, he was just using me.

Me: Huh?

Alicia: The first time I asked you to play with my breasts you didn't. I figured you were just like the rest of them. So I decided to just have my fun with you. Then suddenly you touched me without me asking you to.

Me: Err…

Alicia: I don't know what I'm doing. I'm sorry for using you. I think I just wanted to see what it felt like to use someone.

Me: So what does it feel like?

Alicia: It doesn't feel good. I don't like it. You must be feeling terrible.

Me: I don't.

Alicia: What?

Me: I really don't feel terrible. It's weird. But you seemed happy doing it. And I touched you without you asking because I didn't think you would mind.

Alicia: I don't. But I only asked you to touch me when I'm sure I can stop myself if it got too intense.

Me: You're afraid I'll force you to have sex?

Alicia: No. I'm afraid I'll force you to do something you're not comfortable with.

Me: I wasn't really comfortable with any of this.

Alicia: And you still let me do it.

Me: Yeah.

Alicia: What if I slipped your dick into me?

Me: On purpose or by accident?

Alicia: Either way, doesn't matter.

Me: I wouldn't be very comfortable but it would have already happened.

Alicia: So you'd pull out or let me continue?

Me: I'd just let you do whatever you wanted.

Alicia: Even without a condom?

Me: If it already happened, not much can be done right? It's either stop, or continue.

Alicia: We're all using you in some way right? What's in it for you?

Me: Nothing. I don't need anything.

Alicia: As long as we're happy?

Me: Are you happy?

Alicia: I satisfied my urges.

Me: You probably just need a good vibrator.

Alicia: Nothing beats the real thing.

Me: So you cried because?

Alicia: I was feeling like a bad person.

Me: We are all bad people. Or good people. Depends on how you look at it.

Alicia: You're really too nice to be taken advantage of.

Me: Shall we go back now?

Alicia: Ok.

I drove out of the car park and the low fuel warning light came on.

Me: I don't think you know what petrol your mom pumps right?

Alicia: Nope.

Me: Can you look around the glove box?

Alicia: For?

Me: Petrol station cards.

Alicia: Oh.

She dug around and produced 4 cards. For the 4 major petrol stations.

Alicia: I think it doesn't matter.

Me: Yeah. You wouldn't know what grade either right?

Alicia: Grade?

Me: Errr… Never mind.

I drove straight ahead, trying to recall where the u-turn was as I recalled seeing an ESSO station along the way. Up ahead on the right I spotted a SPC station. I signaled right and turned in there since it didn't matter anyway. I pulled up to the pump.

Me: 95 Full tank.

Attendant: Bro, you sure 95?

Me: Not my car. I don't really know.

Attendant: Bro, this one sports car, 98 better. 98 full tank ok?

Me: Ok.

Alicia got out of the car and we went to the mart. She immediately headed to the ice cream section.

I joined the queue and waited to pay, trying to spot which credit card had the best discount.

As I reached the counter, Alicia appeared with 3 tubs of ice cream in various chocolate flavours. Ben & Jerry's. She was pretty extravagant.

As the cashier scanned the purchases, Alicia wandered off again. I wondered what she was looking for.

She reappeared again and dumped a couple of boxes and a tube on the counter. I stared at her. She smiled at me. The cashier rolled her eyes at us.

Alicia took out her credit card and pushed me aside.

Alicia: Use this.

She grabbed all the purchases and we went back to the car.

Me: Why so much ice cream?

Alicia: It's my favourite.

Me: The other stuff?

Alicia: Just in case.

Me: In case of what?

Alicia: Emergencies.

Me: Oh ok.

I started the engine and drove her back home. It would be my last night there. And I had to give Ann an answer as to whether I would be moving in longer term.

But I already knew what she was going to ask me the minute we reached back. I turned to Alicia.

Me: What should we buy for dinner?
