To get married to the one you love… Is it that hard?
Why are we struggling so much?
Why can’t I forget you?
I stared blankly out of the window… And shook my thoughts away.
It has been a couple years since the day I’m married. I’d thought our relationship has ended on that fateful night when I said sorry, but little did I know that my wedding night is the start of it all…
I leaned my forehead against the cold window glass. We were in a triangle relationship, and now.. We are in an affair. How long will this last? How far can we go? How much more can I take?
Hi, my name is Maybel Lee. I am a designer by profession - bubbly and cheerful and he was a colleague, Alson Lim - quiet and gentleman. We both worked in a company that treated us like slaves and I guessed the best thing that could ever happen in that company was knowing him.
Our first encounter was quite… Interesting. A friend arranged us to meet up because he was from another department and we will be having some dealings.
Me: hi! I’m Maybel! You’re Alson? Heard from Rebecca.
Alson: hello (handshake)
Me: why so shy! What do you want to eat?
Alson: you have a nice smile.
Me: (in my mind.. What a flirt) Yeah my mum always tell me that.
Alson seems very harmless on the surface, well he is.. But in bed, he’s one mean teaser. The way he circles his finger around my swollen clit and stopping suddenly, making me beg for more… The way he kisses my neck and whisper ‘I want to fuck you so badly right now’ broke all my defenses against him. Every time it happened, it just left me wanting more. He became my drug, and I was so addicted to him…
After a couple months of working with each other, we are sort of comfortable with each other’s working style and work was smooth with both of us around in the office. We often packed lunch together as we had to work together, and slowly, we became closer inevitably.
Me: Wei… I don’t want the meat.. U eat ok? (Handing him the meat frm the lunchbox)
Alson: huh.. U need to eat more leh, no energy if u eat so little.
Me: im strong lah, u eat more. So skinny.
Alson: ok after work treat u to something nice.
Me: ok! (Big smiley)
After work, we went to a restaurant and ate our fill. I didn’t notice anything weird during the meal and he sent me home. Upon reaching my home, Alson’s sms came in.
Alson: hey.. I hope I’m not being rude but.. Ur skirt seemed a little short tonight..
Me: huh? Wei, what did you see?
Alson: purple..
Me: ………..
Alson: sorry!! Just wanna let u know.. Don’t wear so short next time lah, i can’t work straight
Me: ………
Alson: sorry…
Me: nah, not your fault. Could have told me earlier! So you seen whole night ah!
Alson: hehe..
Me: …… Good night.
Alson: … Goodnite.
Closing my bedroom door behind me, I wriggled out of my skirt and climbed up the bed. He.. saw. That made me a little wet thinking about it.. Slowly, I spread my legs out a little wider.. And rubbed the outside of my purple thong with my index finger.. I shifted my other hand’s index finger up to my mouth and sucked at it, imagining it to be his tool. I wonder how it looked like… And how he looked when he’s naked..?
To be contd.
The next day at work, things got a little awkward. I can’t really look into Alson’s eyes without blushing. He, on the other hand, know I’m too shy and he became bold.
Alson: Someone very shy today.
Me: (blushes) what?
Alson: don’t worry, u look fine today with pants.
Me: (smacks his shoulder) wei!
Alson: (grinning) purple?
Me: wei!!! No!!!
Alson: what color?
Me: Do you want to see black color right now? U can see it once u KOed.
Alson: black is nice…(in his own world)
Me: … (Walks away)
These constant teasing went on for awhile until we were involved in a big project and got very stressed. We were always on the phone till the wee hours pf the morning discussing details of the project. This went on for a couple weeks and one night, something happened.
Me: I wonder when will this project end. Its taking forever!!!
Alson: ya.. Really tired.
Me: And very stressed. How to destress omg!
Alson: touch yourself loh.
Me: WHAT!? Wei I lady hor.
Alson: ladies don’t touch themselves?
Me: hmmm… (Trap qn) i know some do. Read an article that says 40% don’t, 60% do, but in US la.
Alson: so…..
Me: wait! I know what you want to ask. Lets continue to work!
Alson: okok don’t be mad.
Me: nah not mad.
Ok, at this point in time, I was really tired and stressed. So I popped the most unimaginable question.
Me: how do you do it ah?
Alson: har? Hand la…
Me: got other methods?
Alson: thinking of someone helps.
Me: porn star?
Alson: you..?
Me: ……
We went silent for the next 10 secs and then I heard..
Alson: Maybel.. Sorry.. Not my intention.
Me: me? Why me? Haha! (Trying to hide my nervousness)
Alson: sorry if I scared you, lets continue to work k?
Me: ok.
I decided to let it go and continue with the work. One more week passed and we submitted the proj that helped us clinched a big deal. We hi-5 in view of the $ that will be coming in.
Me: we are the best partners!! Yay!!
Alson extended his arms, hinting a hug from me. I leaned forward, giving him a big bear hug. Just then, his mouth pressed against my ears.
Alson: sex partners? (Grins)
I swallowed hard as I pull myself away from him.
To be contd.
Blushing, I smacked his arm lightly and said, ‘ok!’ With a huge grin. We both know we were kidding.
Life goes on, till another big project came up. The other colleagues were already gossiping behind our backs about us being together, but we really aren’t. Then, Thomas came into the picture.
Thomas is a client whom I met during my internship a few years back. He is a top class honours student, working as an engineer and very decent. He has been asking me out for a few times but I wasn’t very interested. We do not have much chemistry, but we were great friends.
When I finally decided to give myself and Thomas a chance, I agreed to be his girlfriend and life was good for awhile. Alson knew about it and was supportive, so I was convinced he treated me as a good pal only.
One day, I was feeling upset over some family issues and I told both Alson and Thomas about it. Thomas was concerned, but I find it hard to communicate with him, mainly because being in a financially okay family, he is unable to understand my issues. So naturally I turned to Alson. I called him on the phone.
Me: hello… Free to chat?
Alson: hey giirl.. U alright? Wanna talk about it?
Me: okay.. (I poured my heart out to him.. And cried over the phone)
Alson: where is your boyfriend?
Me: he doesn’t understand…
Alson: ….u want me to come down now? (It was already 1130pm)
Me: no its alright… I’ll see you tomorrow in office.
Alson: (after abit of convincing) ok… But relax la. Come i cheer u up, don’t be so stressed k? Remember what i said about destressing? Hehe!
Me: Wei! No mood to joke hor!
Alson: don’t like that.. Give me face lah.
Well, he made me smile.
Next day in office, he dragged me to lunch even though he knew I wasn’t in the mood for any food. Must eat, he said. Seeing that I really isn’t eating, he attempted threatening.
Alson: if you don’t finish the noodles, I rape you hor!
Me: rape your head lah…
Alson: my head?
which? (Acting silly)
Me: …. Hahaha..
Alson: finally smiling ah my dear girl. Eat okay.
Me: yes sir!
Just then, i swept my hand to make a salute sign but accidentally flipped my bowl towards him (he was sitting opposite me) and half of the soup in the bowl landed on his trousers.
Me: oh no! Im am so SORRY! (Hurried to his side with tissue)
Alson: relax, its okay. But i think I need to take leave now, can’t go back to office in this state.
Me: (wiping off the soup off his trousers) sorry!! I take leave also k? I’ll wash for you k?
Alson: hello miss, where r u wiping? Why so eager?
I didn’t notice that the spot I was wiping is near… Very near.. To his manhood. I blushed immediately and stopped, repeating my sorries again. He simply smiled at me, and mumbled ‘silly girl’.
We took a cab back to his place and it was quite an embarassing sight as the taxi driver kept looking at us from his view mirror. I must be looking super shy.. Upon reaching his home, I asked him to change into something comfortable while I figured out how to use his washing machine. i have been to his place for a few times already when we worked through the night for projects so I am like a regular visitor to his home.
I was in the kitchen, bending down and trying to read the machine instructions when he approached. After setting the machine to work, we sat down and chatted but i was still blushing from the earlier incident. Sensing something wrong,
Alson: girl, how’s ur family situation now?
Me: the same… Sigh. I might not have a place to stay soon. (I started to feel teary again)
Alson: (moved over to my side and put his hand ard my shoulder) its okay, let me know where i can help?
Me: thanks.. (I looked up at him and then.. I felt it. His concerned eyes, his warmth..)
He moved towards me inch by inch, eyes never leaving mine. We were so near each other.. At that moment, I closed my eyes… And I felt his warm lips against me. The gentle kiss quickly evolved into a kiss of hunger.. The burning desire.. I’m not sure if it came from me, or him. But deep within me, I felt comfortable…
He fumbled with the buttons on my blouse while frenching me.. I roamed my hands behind his back.. Still too shy to explore further.
Alson: (between kisses) you… Kiss.. So.. Well..
Me: (lets out a tiny moan) ahh…
Alson: (fingers found their way to my thighs and stroked them gently..)
Me: (became a little daring.. Using my index finger.. I stroke outside of his shorts at his manhood… Stroking up and down.. )
Suddenly, we stopped as we heard a loud beep. Damn, the washing machine.
Reality hits and I stopped, adjusting my clothes.
Alson: sorry.. I..
Me: thank you… (Smiles)
Alson: huh?
Me: trying to destress me huh? Hehe!
Alson: ..no.. I…
Me: (already walking towards the washing machine) should be ok now!
I was trying to hide my nervousness and ‘smoothen’ the awkward situation. One wrong move from any of us, the friendship is gone. I have to be extra careful. I left shortly after.
At night, Alson texted.
Alson: hey girl, i just wanna say sorry for just now..
Me: its okay, men have needs, i understand. No hard feelings, no worries.
Alson: thanks girl, see you tomorrow.
Me: good night.
I stepped into the bathroom, thinking of his kiss. As the warm water hits my skin, I realised… That the kiss felt different from kissing Thomas. With Thomas, it felt warm. With Alson, I felt a burning desire. It is as though he wants me really badly…
I turned off the shower tap, squeezed a little shower gel and lather all over my body. Placing my right hand between my legs, i gently rubbed my clitoris.. In circles.. Imagining Alson’s fingers rubbing me.. His lips against mine… And roaming down to my twin peaks which are yearning for his touch badly. I turned on the shower again and moaned gently.. And as the warm water rinses off the foam on my body, i climaxed..
Why am i thinking of Alson instead of Thomas?
What is wrong with me?
Deep in my heart, I knew. And this is just the beginning of the word - temptation.
Temptation - T for Traces.
*****
How could I be thinking of Alson instead of my boyfriend? Is there really something wrong in my relationship?
My relationship with Thomas has been ups n downs. We have been quarreling for awhile now, mainly due to his inability to understans my family financial situation. I was frustrated with him trying to blame my parents for causing all these issues. No doubt they are the ones who started all these debts, but why cry over spilled milk? Why not channel all energy to solving them instead?
After a couple months, I decided I had enough. I want out. I spoke to Thomas and we agreed to be away from each other for a while. I was upset, but i need to stay strong. For my family, for myself. As for work, a new big project is coming up and what a great timing, i thought. I could focus on it instead. My partner for the project is of course - Alson.
Alson: babe, we are partners again!
Me: ya (recalling his joke about being sex partners.. And blushed)
Alson: love it when u blush, u looked adorable. But most importantly, i knew what you were blushing about.
Me: wei! (Grins)
Its been months since I stepped into his house. Ever since that incident, i find myself avoiding going to his place for fear that history will repeat itself. But today, i had no choice. We need to submit the designing project by tomorrow.
Alson: make yourself at home, as usual. (Smiles)
Me: sure. Lets start!
We worked till 430am that night.. And both of us were dead beat as I tossed my wacom stylus pen aside to declare that the last bit of project is done.
Sinking into his sofa with him beside me,
Me: finally….. DONE! Hi-5 panda!
Alson: haha hi-5! Tomorrow there will be 2 pandas in the office.
Me: yeah… (Already drifting to sleep)
I felt something warm against my cheek. Is he.. Kissing me? I dare not open my eyes, yes i think its his lips.. It felt familiar. The warmth traced my lips.. He’s planting kisses on my lips… Something warm is at my chin.. His fingers r travelling from my chin.. To my neck… Down between at my cleavage.. And…They stopped.
Suddenly, he hugged me so tightly, i was forced to open my eyes.
Me: hey..
Alson: you are mine tonight….
Temptation - E for Entrance
***
In the dark, i struggled to see him, to no avail.
Me: I’m tired, sleep la (still in a daze)
Alson: i want you tonight.
Me: (slightly awake) are you crazy?
Alson: Crazy for you…(he whispered)
Me: sleep. (Totally awake)
He started kissing my neck, sending tiny kisses down.. Between my peaks. I didn’t push him away, i was actually enjoying it. I was too tired to complicate things anyway, so I simply laid there and relaxed in his arms.
He pushes his tongue into me once again, and it felt right.. It felt like that day… i had melted in his arms, as he peeled the layers of clothing off me.. And we are down.. Skin to skin.
He groans softly as he rubbed his manhood against my body. I love men who groans. Instinctively, I spread my legs a little. He seemed to catch my hint.. As he rubbed his tool against the outside of my pussy. His lips found their way to my already hardened nipples and suckle on them like a baby. I am wet… I know.
Suddenly, his body left mine, and then i felt a little thrust at my lower body. He is asking for permission to enter.
The Entrance.
I laid there, lost in thoughts.
Me: No Alson (i whispered), sorry, i can’t.
Alson: why..?
Me: ..i am still a virgin.
@ coffeecans - I’m a big fan of your stories! no I don’t, working for people
@ curiouslala - thank you for noticing!
Temptation - M for Moon
*****
Me: ..i am still a virgin.
Alson: Huh? You and your boyfriend? (he didn’t know I had broken off with Thomas)
Me: Nope.. I didn’t let him in..
Alson: (sat up on the sofa, looking a little concerned) Is there anything wrong between both of you? (strokes my hair)
Me: (leans over and hug him.. I needed the warmth) We had broken off, I don’t feel like talking about it now… Sorry..
Alson: (returns the hug tightly and pats my back) Its okay babe, I am sorry…
In the darkness, I could hear his lingering concern in the air. We both lay down on the sofa, naked.. And he hugged me to sleep.. while I weep softly in his arms.
**
Alson: (whispers into my ears) Good morning my sexy babe.
Me: (Open eyes slightly) Hey… good morn…. WAIT! OMG! (by then, the sun has shone in and he was smiling and staring at.. me.$$$$$less)
In a split second, I swept the blouse which was lying on the floor and covered myself. I was blushing like a tomato and I just stared at the ground, motionless.
Alson: Erm… Its 9am babe, our project presentation is due at 10, are you sure you want to sit here like this whole day?
Me: Wei! Turn around!
Alson: (Turning around) okok.. You prep. The restroom is over there (points to this right), I’ll call for a cab soon k.
Reached office and rushed for the presentation. Our presentation was smooth and as expected, we clinched the deal with a big company. As I retreated back to my office smiling like I’ve won a million dollars, a facebook msg came up on my Macbook.
Alson: Let’s go for celebration tonight?
Me: Where to?
Alson: Surpriseeeee! 630pm, I’ll wait for you at lobby!
**
Alson: (waves at lobby) Hey! We did it again! Hi-5!
Me: SOOOoooo happy! But I don’t want to be in a team with you anymore lah. So stressful… You nearly flopped the presentation earlier! I had to cover you!
Alson: I did it purposely. What can I do without you?! Lets go! (half dragging me out of the building)
Me: Where?
Alson: We’ll go for dinner, then movies, then my home.
Me: Wei?! Your home for what!?
Alson: Haha! Let’s go!
Dinner was at Sun with Moon Japanese cafe - one of my favourite place for Jap food and I was glad he remembered that I mentioned it before. We were seated at the cozy corner where it is quite private and as I go with my mood, I started to talk about my relationship with Thomas.
Alson: Maybe you should give him a chance. It is not that he don’t love you, he just don’t know how to handle the situation as he has not encountered it before.
Me: (nods while licking my spoon after having a bite of the tofu cheesecake)
Alson: Don’t lick your spoon like that, its distracting.
Me: (sticks out tongue and turned the spoon around.. purposely licking seductively.. running my tongue up and down.. while looking at him. ‘This is to repay you for smiling at my naked body this morning’)
Alson: (Stares at me for awhile, and shakes his head furiously) Ok, its movie time now! LETS GO.
Me: (giggled and followed him out of the restaurant)
As expected, he had booked a couple seat for us at the last low of the cinema. Frankly, I was very tired and I fell asleep even before the show has started, and by the time I woke up, I realised my head was resting on his shoulder and his hand is over my shoulder….
Me: Erm.. sorry.. Too tired..
Alson: (smiling) Its ok, want to sleep somemore?
Me: No.. How long have I been sleeping?
Alson: 10 more minutes to ending… (whispers)
Me:
<<– this was really my facial expression then as my head tilted up slightly.
Just then, Alson made a quick turn of his face and plants a soft and warm kiss on my forehead. It was… sweet. But I managed to get a hold of myself and sat up straight, forcing his hand to release from my shoulder.
After the movie, it was already quite late and we had to work the next day, so I thanked him for the day and excused myself.
Alson: Hey where are you going? You are supposed to go to my place!
Me: Your place your head! Good night! (laughs)
Alson: Which head? haha! Ok, see you tomorrow!
On the way home, images of us during the movie kept appearing in my mind. I took a cold shower and was drying my long hair as I saw a beep on my phone. It was a msg from Alson.
Alson: Hey… Bedtime story for you! Long long ago, maybe billions of years ago, the Sun was born, and there are many moons in the universe - big and small, with different characteristics and elements. They all lived for the sun. The sun shines at them, giving them the energy so that they can be seen. I guess this is the reason why the Jap food we had today is called Sun with Moon? Haha very cheesy I know, but the main point is - You are the Sun, and I think…. I am one of the moons.
End of bedtime story. Good night.
Is that a… confession?
Temptation - P for Purple
*****
Next morning, Alson was nowhere to be seen.
Me: Hey rebecca, where is Alson ah? Didn’t see him today.
Reb: He called in sick leh. But I need him to do something for me! You are his partner right? Can cover him or not?
Me: Okay, I see what I can do.
Rushed the work till after lunch, and texted him.
Me: Wei.. You sick? What happened?
Alson: I also don’t know.. Food poisoning?
Me: We ate the same thing yesterday! What food poisoning?
Alson: hahaha.. cannot hide from you. Feeling tired lah, so called in sick loh.
Me: What?! Reb was looking for you! I covered your work from morning till now you know! I haven’t had lunch!!
Alson: Huh? Why you do? Tomorrow I do lah.
Me: I expect a big treat from you for completing your work while you snake at home lor! And I am going to your place later to kick your butt. Reb asked me to pass you XXXXX file she said it is urgent.
Alson: Yeah she called me just now. Sorry babe..
Me: You better prepare tea to apologize when I reached later. and KNEEL.
I was actually quite unhappy, not with him but at myself. Why am I so concerned whether he is sick or not? Why did I bother to cover his work? I reached his place with a heavy heart.
Alson: (opens door) Wei!! (mimicking me)
Me: (Hits the file on his head, hard). Wei your HEAD.
Alson: OUCH! Come in lah.
Me: Reb asked me to pass this to you. Any idea how to resolve? Client is very mad at this design. She says its your old customer, ask you to settle by today.
Alson: Okay.. no problem. Nah, your tea on the table.
Me: Hello? Kneel? Serve tea and apologize?
In a swift motion, Alson pinned me down on his sofa (the very same sofa I fell asleep on) and looked into my eyes.
Alson: I like you.
Me: huh? Kneel? (trying to avoid his topic)
Alson: Like this? (using his knees, he spread my legs apart and kneel in between my thighs)
Me: I don’t want a sex partner. I’m still a virgin, you know it.
Alson: I want you to be my girlfriend…. My Sun…
Me: (stares at him, lost in thoughts)
Alson: (Slowly plants a kiss on my nose.. down to my lips…) I want to take care of you…
Its the same place, same scene, same movements… The same kiss, the burning desire within me, the same warm feeling.. except for the Sun.. Yes, the sun is shining in.. It was dark the other night, it is bright now, and I do enjoy the kiss…
He started to roam his right hand down my body.. down south.. I moaned softly into his ears.. Perhaps I was lying to myself all along, perhaps I was just denying my feelings towards him. I do like him, I do want to be with him.
His right index finger found its way to my skirt.. and lifted it up a little. He smiled.
Purple…
Before you continue reading, you might want to play the song below. Cheers.
Temptation - T for Taste
*****
Alson started to kiss his way from my lips.. to my neck.. and as he moves up and look at me again, he began to unbutton my top, revealing my cleavage.
Alson: black… nice. (he stroked the straps of my black laced bra)
I blushed hard at his comment, and looks sheepishly on the floor. His tongue met mine, and I completely melted.
He shifts his knees a little, in order to spread my legs even wider. By now, my blouse is already on the floor. He fumbled to unclasp my bra and when its finally off, he grunt in satisfaction.
Looking at my naked breasts, I blushed again and this time, he held my face towards his and planted a short kiss on my lips.
Alson: You are beautiful.. Look at your nipples. They are so hard now.. (he reaches over and tweaked my right nipple a little, I moaned..)
He made his way down and inch nearer to my right boob. Smiling at me, I see my nipple disappear in his mouth. I let out a soft moan… It felt so good..
I arched my back and let his tongue do the magic. His hands were not idling as well. One of it on my left breast, the other sliding down between my legs. He began to circle his index finger outside my purple thong which is barely covering my clit.. And it went on for a good 5 minutes.
I could no longer take it anymore, and so I arched my butt up, granting him access. He took the hint really well and whispered,
Alson: You sound so good… Do you like it?
Me: (nods gently) It feels.. g… ahh!
Alson: (slides my thong to one side and inserts his index finger into my already wet pussy) How about this? Does it feel better?
I could only close my eyes and enjoy the moment… while moaning softly..
His lips found its way to mine again and our tongues locked in a sweet embrace. I gently exchanged positions with him below me, and I on top..
Still kissing, I roamed my hands down and pulled down his shorts. I pressed the tip of my index finger on top of his ’tent’. Boy.. he’s already hard.
Me: Someone’s… hard… already.. (between kisses)
Alson: (hands on my waist) My horny girl…
Me: (Massages from outside his underwear lightly and pulls it down) Actually… I like you too… (smiles and head reaches down.. kissing his manhood softly)
Alson: (holds my head gently and urges me to go further) My dear…
I started to plant kisses from the tip to the shaft…. My right hand reached up and massaged his balls.. I ran my tongue from his shaft back up to the tip again, and stopped.
Alson: Why..?
Me: (without a word, I began to draw circles with my tongue on the tip… making small circles… and gradually drawing bigger circles… until the whole of his manhood disappeared into my mouth.
Alson: (Strokes my hair gently…)
I picked up speed, and looked at him. He was in disbelief, but his gentle warm eyes says it all.
Alson: I’m cumming…. Can I?
Me: (nods and sucks even faster)
Alson: Argh……!!
Me: You taste so well…
His groan, together with this song playing in the background (at 4:08), were music to my ears…
*****
I wasn’t married back then, and it was the start of our relationship. Looking back, I realised how much he had loved me, and protected me. If only.. time could turn back….
