First ONS with a horny poly girl, my sexual adventures between 18 to 21 yrs old


    Chapter #61

    Chapter 24…

    Previously in chap 23… finally get to fu*k Angel in peace without disturbance!!

    I was nibbling on her long and slender legs, licking it while in missionary as I stood by the bed. And the familiar contraction from her pussy came…

    Angel: Dar… dar…. Cumming cumming!

    I let go of her legs and went to grab both her breasts pinching her nipples with my thumbs and increase the thrusting pace sending Angel to her first orgasm.

    Angel: Oh my god… darling your dick is amazing today…

    Me: I call it the morning glory… do you like it?

    Angel: Yea…. I love it… when we marry fuck me like this every morning okay?

    Whoa… the thought that if we really got married and I get to fuck her every day didn’t come across my mind but I like that idea! I took out my 2IC that look like it was dipped in a yogurt fondue and flipped Angel over in doggy-style.

    Angel: Darling be gentle okay? I’m sensitive…

    I did not reply but started entering her gently… there was a squishy sound each time I withdraw and re-enter…

    Angel: Oh yea… yea… yea….. Keep going darling…

    The more Angel moan the more I was put in a trance plus I have a fetish with being rough when in doggy-style (see Elaine’s story). After being in gear 1 for about 5 mins… the acceleration started…. Going up a gear every min and I was in gear 5 now!!

    Angel: OH OH OH… NO NO NO…. YEA… NO… YEA… YEA….

    Angel was tortured between pleasure and sensitivity… I wanted to be rough and I started pinching Angel’s butt… but pinching was enough so I upgraded to groping her ass, grabbing it as hard as I could leaving handprint marks… but it still wasn’t enough… at least not enough for me to cum…

    I did the unthinkable next… I raise both hands and smack Angel on her ass hard! The slap was loud enough to wake anyone in the house. I went from gear 5 to nitro mode…

    Angel was covering her own mouth now… I felt another contraction and I knew Angel came again… my moment of cumming came shortly and I pulled Angel down the bed and force my heavily coated dick in her mouth and unloaded everything inside of her…

    Me: Lick it… lick it clean… you naughty girl… better not let me see any cum on my dick

    There was displeasure on Angel’s expression initially but she quickly resign to her faith because I was holding onto her head and she couldn’t escape. She drank everything I unloaded… and also went on to move up and down my dick licking up her own juices.

    We were both exhausted then and fell asleep all the way till dinner time…

    *End of chapter… I have about another 2 stories to share about Angel leading to why we broke up… I have a feeling many of you will like the last story… img!

    Chapter 25

    Previously in chap 24… finally getting to f*ck Angel the moment her mum leave eventually cumming into Angel’s mouth…

    Angel’s birthday mark approximately our 1st year in the relationship. We were also beginning the third year of our poly life. Overall things were pretty good until my dad’s business got affected, as he lost a contract that account to 80% of our family’s livelihood. The result of that we had to downsize and moved. Now… instead of staying only 20mins from Angel I was staying about an hour away from her.

    Not only that because of the financial burden I had to work extra to help support the family. This resulted in having very minimal time to spend with Angel, I remember there were times though I was physically with her mentally I was too exhausted sometimes I fell asleep mid-way through our conversation. Angel did understand my situation but unavoidably there were still grumbles and complaints and our happy relationship turned a bit sour.

    During work after school one day, Angel started texting me grumbling that she was really bored at home and why I couldn’t take off and accompany her. Her constant text was adding pressure to me at work and I don’t know why I suddenly remember my best friend back in Secondary school, William. William was the same friend whose phone got stolen by Mark in the earlier chapters.

    Anyway William’s parents were hawker and I remember they recently moved their stall to a pretty popular food centre that was near Angel’s place. Since William and Angel were classmates back in Secondary school I suggested for Angel to go support William’s family stall and likely William would be there too as he tries to help out at night whenever he can.

    Now a bit on William’s physical description, if there was a “style” for me I would be the fair looking Japanese guy with long spiky hair as if coming out from a rock band. William’s “style” was contrastingly different, he was the rugged kind with hairy arms and chest kinda like Hugh Jackman.

    Till date I had no idea why I did that, suggesting my girlfriend to meet up with other guys, I must have gone mad with all the work and family stress. Or maybe because I trusted my buddy, in Chinese there is a saying… 朋友妻,不可欺 (you do not touch or cheat on your friend’s wife) or there is another variation that is pronounce the same way but totally different meaning… 朋友妻,不客气 (feel free to cheat on your friend’s wife). You guys should know which way it went… …

    In a typical week I would be able to spend a day with Angel, two if I’m lucky. I tried to be the best boyfriend I could be. But there were 6 other nights I couldn’t be there for her… ever since I told Angel to look for William, out of 6 remaining nights at least 1 to 2 nights a week Angel would text me to tell me she would catch up with William at his stall. William would also text me and let me know when Angel has left his stall, sometimes even sending Angel home since she stayed near, in fact William and Angel’s place were only a bus stop away.

    The reason for sending her home (or so I was told) was because it was late and at the food centre there were many drunk lecherous uncle that may be eyeing on Angel. Foolishly I trusted him and even thank him for taking care of Angel while I was not around… And indeed she was very well taken care of… …

    Chapter 26…

    Previously in chap 25, family situation made me work longer and thus spending lesser time with Angel. Ended up I got my best friend William to accompany her (wrong move)…

    Ever since I “reconnected” William and Angel, the plus side was there was really lesser complaints from her. However on the days we were spending time, I was feeling distant from her, she was less passionate and affectionate, less talkative too. Initially I thought it was her form of punishment to me for neglecting her but this went on for like 2 months or so… something is wrong…

    My gut feel was there is something fishy between William and Angel but I refuse to believe it. I mean of all people… to have my best friend cheat on me?? I felt it also reflected on how weak our relationship was between Angel and myself.

    I kept telling myself to have faith in Angel and trust my buddy William. But the uneasy feeling kept haunting me resulting in sleepless night which was affecting school and work. At long last I decided I needed to face the truth, or at least prove myself wrong (or so I thought).

    I took a day off without telling Angel… and I was texting her as per normal after school knowing she most probably should be home…

    Me: Darling what you doing now?

    Angel: slacking at home… why?

    Me: Oh no la just asking… very sorry I can’t be there to accompany you

    Angel: Is ok darling… I understand your situation

    Me: then you really not going out? Not bored meh?

    Angel: Maybe I go find William later? Ok? (one thing about Angel was every time she was going to meet William she always let me know and “sort of” ask me for permission first)

    Me: William again ar? You don’t have other friends meh? Your girlfriends leh?

    Angel: They all attached de… no one wants to spend time with me

    Me: ok ok… got so many things to talk to William meh?

    Angel: Why darling jealous ar? Darling trust me okay? William is just a good friend, he is also your best friend right?

    Me: … ok … I miss you darling

    Angel: I miss you too…

    Me: Miss your kisses…

    Angel: Haha… give you nice one when I see you okay? If you don’t feel good I don’t meet William too okay?

    Me: Ok… thanks darling… alright I gtg. I love you

    Angel: Love you too. Muackz!

    With that I hung up and I was near the void deck where Angel was… I estimate I would be 200m away from her lift and if she were to leave her house I would be able to see her. I was also wearing a cap and hoodie in PI disguise again.

    It was about 7pm when I hang up… my intention was simple… wait for 2 hours to prove myself I was overly suspicious. After 2 hours I would surprise Angel at her doorsteps and even intent to stay over at her place tonight… in fact I’m already daydreaming about possibly repeat our naughty happenings between us when her mum was still in the room during her birthday.

    I still remember my patience was already running low by 8.30pm (1.5 hours) and I was hungry so I thought I could call it a day early and surprise her too. As I stood up and walk towards the lift about 150m away… the lift door open and there she was… Angel…

    Chapter 27

    Previously in chap 26… For the first time I wanted to prove that my gut feel was wrong and Angel was not cheating on me only to find… …

    The moment Angel walked out of the lift I panic and turn around hoping she did not see me. She was dress in a casual white top and denim shorts, doesn’t look like she is doll up to go out… so where is she going? I walked and turned into the nearest corner I could find and hid there for a while trying to relocate Angel.

    It was easy to spot her and I started following her keeping our distance at least 100m apart. I saw her walking into the convenience stall and walk out shortly with a small bag of purchases. Initially I thought she was just coming down to buy some snacks for herself or her family.

    I told myself… “Quit scaring yourself jay, don’t be so suspicious… you should be ashamed of yourself”. Letting my guard down again I thought of surprising Angel from the back only to find out she wasn’t walking back home…

    “Calm down” I told myself again and I continued my chase stealthily. Angel left her neighbourhood and started to walk towards another neighbourhood that was only a bus stop away… “Don’t turn in… don’t turn in… please don’t turn in” but my hopes were shattered. I have followed Angel into William’s neighbourhood…

    Eventually she walked into the multi-storey car park in William’s neighbourhood. And I started to dread what I might be expecting next because I was reminded about my fair share of fun with her in other car parks.

    I couldn’t walk up the same stairs as Angel did as it is obvious for anyone on the top of the stairs to look down and spot me. I actually waited for about 5mins after Angel has entered the stairs before I started using the vehicle path myself. I went all the way to the top and tip toe my way to the stairwell.

    As I was closer to the stairwell I heard giggling and laughter… both voices were familiar. They were brilliantly concealed actually. The position they were at if anyone was walking from below the stairs they would have spotted. If someone drove to the top they could have hear the noises made by the vehicle. It was a good spot to do hanky panky business but not ideal if someone was following…

    And there they were… William and Angel…

    My heart was broken. And I was on the verge of tearing standing there as I watch them drink cans of beer (that was what Angel bought) as they flirted with each other. I broke down when I saw William going in to kiss Angel and his hands were on his way to grope on her breast.

    Me: WHAT THE FUCK YOU DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!?!?

    My uproar cause the both of them to jump in shock, I ran down the stairs and pushed William so hard he rolled down the remaining flight. I grabbed him by his shirt, pulled him up and gave him another punch.

    Me: Some kind of brother aren’t you!

    William’s built was much fitter and stronger than me, if he wanted he could have retaliated easily but he did not. He didn’t even dare to look me in the eye and just kept quiet. I was already in tears when I gave him the second punch in his face.

    Angel was screaming…

    Angel: STOP!! STOP!!! JAY!!! STOP!!!

    She was hugging me from behind trying to pull me away. It didn’t work until I felt a cold and solid object flew and hit my head. I turned and realise Angel had threw a can of beer towards me.

    Angel: William GO! GO NOW!!

    William successfully escaped during that short window of distraction.

    Me: What’s the meaning of this? Whose side are you on? Why did you do this to me?

    Angel was crying now… she wasn’t answering me. But I wasn’t the gentle and cool boyfriend she used to know anymore.

    Me: ANSWER ME!

    She retaliated and scream back: IT’S COZ OF YOU!! YOU PUSHED ME TO HIM!!! YOU DIDN’T WANT ME!! I DON’T FEEL LOVE FROM YOU ANYMORE!!!

    I was really angry and upset when she said that. How could she say that? Did I really pushed Angel to William? My head wasn’t thinking straight.

    Me: DON’T TELL ME ALL THESE BULLSHIT WHEN YOU ARE JUST AN ATTENTION SEEKING SLUT!!

    There it was… I said it. Words I regretfully sprouted and cannot take back.

    Angel: What did you just call me? A slut? Fine!! let’s break up if you find me so dirty and unworthy!!! I will show you how much of a slut I truly am!!

    Angel ran away crying… while I froze there lost for words… what did I just do…

    Chapter 28

    Previously in chapter 27… caught Angel and William red handed and had a huge quarrel with Angel…

    For the next few weeks there were no contacts between any Angel and I. I guess it was over… I took it as an unofficial break up (last time to me official break up must “declare”, lol). I just tried to bury myself with work, keeping myself distracted but we all know it was impossible. The scene of catching them at the car park constantly surface, worst still… now that we are not together the thought of them f*cking each other cause a major pain in my heart.

    But I couldn’t do anything could I? Just continued to bury myself with more work… I remember the few months after I broke up with Angel I traded so much time working I was making a steady 3.5k every month. It was a lot of money for a poly student 10 years ago but I was also working 12 to 14 hours a day every day.

    As the weeks go by not only did my mental frustration built up… I think my sexual frustration was at its peak too. I needed to vent it out… and I guess god has its way to answer my prayers.

    Those born in the mid to late 80s… do you remember things like IRC, ICQ or MSN? It was a popular way for us to meet people online before the birth of social media like Facebook and Instagram today. I do have a few friends that I know from chat messengers like this. And there was this girl whom I got to know randomly through MSN by the name of Jamie.

    I knew her in secondary school during our O-levels. I can’t remember how we met but I think during our O-levels someone set up a chat group to study together and there were a bunch of secondary school students from all over Singapore. I’ve met Jamie only once during an arranged outing to study together and have never seen her since.

    During the next 2 years after O-level I figured the number of times we chat on MSN was probably less than 10 times. And I saw her online one night in the wee hours after my work and I was having regular insomnia due to the Angel-William incident.

    I sent her a nudge (for those for you who remember it on MSN)

    Me: Hey there! Remember me ma?

    Jamie: Hey Jay! Of course! How are you!

    Me: I’m fine I guess… you?

    Jamie: Me ar… preparing for graduation lo… got D&D coming up leh… so excited!

    At this point just like to share Jamie took a private diploma so I think it was only a year and a half needed for her to graduate. I can’t remember too much on the conversation but I know we chatted really long…. About 2 hours and somehow we decided to meet up again to have coffee after so long.

    The meeting point was at the vivo city fountain, I remembered feeling a bit nervous during the meet up because back then even during the first time we saw each other we never spoke at all, I realise I don’t even know how she sounds like in person! All the talking was done through MSN!

    It was about 15 mins passed the meeting time so I decided to drop her a call in case we have missed each other (we may not really recognize how each other look).

    Me: Hello?

    Jamie: Hello yes… jay? (my heart skipped a beat when I heard her voice)

    Me: Yes, where are you?

    Jamie: I’m at the fountain liao? Where are you?

    Me: At the fountain also leh…

    Jamie: Oh I think I see you liao!

    I look around and about 50m away I saw another girl on her cell phone waving at me. And I walked up to her…

    This is how Jamie look… (Again disclaimer: this is just a picture I took from the net and not her in person… and ignore the cat-like hairband)

    Jamie is about 158cm. She belongs to the cute ah lian type in my opinion and yes she is a social smoker that’s why I chose this picture and coincidentally I think the background of this picture is also Vivo City! Another trait I would remember about Jamie or in my opinion the most attractive thing about her was her lips. They look really thick and juicy… something that may come in handy in the future.

She does appear to be the kind of attention seeking girls that can’t be self independent. Simply put, you are lucky to have seen this side of her before it’s too late. We are often too biased in favor of our loved ones and fail to see some of their crippling flaws. Pretty girls are ubiquitous

    canoechamp perhaps you are right. I guess back at our age both parties were immature.

    Chapter #68

    Chapter 29… decided to provide one more chapter to let you guys know about Jamie.

    Previously in chap 28… meeting Jamie…

    I wasn’t a smoker then and also now and I didn’t really like girls who smoke. But then again not like she is my girlfriend so I didn’t care. We have coffee at a café in Vivo City for another 2 to 3 hours before she had to go meet her boyfriend.

    Me: Eh you can just come out like that meet other guys de meh? Your boyfriend won’t say anything?

    Jamie: My boyfriend? I also don’t know if can still call him boyfriend… other than play games and sex he not interested in anything else de la.

    (When she said that I was pretty blown away by her bluntness…)

    Me: Then you all don’t date? Then where you all going later?

    Jamie: Go his house lo… confirm is see him play game again until I fall asleep then go home myself. We date for 1 year liao… the last 9 months this is how we dated… very pathetic hor?

    (I was pretty sure she missed out the sex part this time)

    Me: But like that…. Why you still want to date him? Find someone else la?

    Jamie: I know but who? Actually all the other boys I dated worse than him. He is considered the best liao… the rest I know do drugs or involve in gang which I don’t want. I know I a bit ah lian okay but I never want to be in a gang or do drugs hor.

    Jamie: Eh enough of me la… what about you? No girlfriend meh? If have you can come out meet me like that?

    With Jamie’s questions… I didn’t know why but I had a moment of weakness. The plus point was Jamie and I does not have mutual friends at all until today (it remains a mystery how she was added into that MSN chat till today too). I shared my story of Angel and William and Jamie…

    After I shared that with her in Jamie’s point…. Yes Angel was in the wrong but she can understand to a certain extent why Angel needed to feel love. What she couldn’t accept was the other guy was my best friend… which I agree too… but because of her “ah lian figure of speech” I felt better… the way she talk was as if this was small problem and nothing to be too depressed about.

    We went on to talk about other things… found out she came from a broken family… abusive alcoholic father, mother who is the sole bread winner whom she is very close with. And we spoke about her D&D again which she was very excited about… it was happening in a month’s time.

    Before we left Jamie suddenly asked me if she can borrow $100 from me, I was stunned because I wasn’t really close to this girl… I asked her why…

    Jamie: Aiya my loser boyfriend later confirm no money eat dinner de so I probably need to da bao for him and myself. Then high chance I will cab back de… because I don’t like to stay over at his place his bed single size only. Also… I need to survive for the remaining week la…

    I promise you I confirm return you next week because my pay (from working part-time) is coming in… promise promise!

    May be I was too trusting… may be I was bewitched or maybe because I felt better after talking to her… I went to the ATM and withdraw a $100 for her. Jamie gave me a hug when I passed her the money… she thank me for trusting her and promise me again she will return me the money next week.

    Very promptly when the following week came… she texted me to ask for my bank account number and transferred me back the $100. For the next few days I continued working… our communication did increase a little via MSN whenever I came back from work and if she is online.

    She message me one day suddenly…

    *End of chap… so what did she message me?*

    Chapter #69

    Chap 30…

    Previously in chap 29… my first meeting with Jamie I loan her $100…

    Jamie: Jay… can I ask you for help again?

    I wasn’t sure if I should even reply to this message but I did…

    Me: Yea what’s up?

    Jamie: Hmm do you think you can lend me $500?

    In my mind I was like… WHAT $500!! You think I sugar daddy ar… don’t be too much hor… but my reply was just…

    Me: How come need so much?

    Jamie: Hmm can we meet? I tell you…

    I told her I was very busy with work but she offered to come look for me during dinner hours at my workplace. So I met up with her in Bugis area… I don’t know if because she knew she was asking a huge favour from me she dolled up a little and was wearing something more low-cut revealing her B-cup breast.

    I remained calm and told my 2IC I’m in-charge and don’t be fooled by her. I was even being a little hostile and told her I only had 30mins for a quick dinner before I went back to work. She started telling me her story…

    The money that she has saved up for D&D which she was so looking forward to was taken away by her father. Her father came back home one day demanding money from her mum to buy beer and when she refuse he started to beat her up. Jamie say she definitely does not have strength to stop him so the only solution was only throwing money at him which she did… she was very honest she told me she only gave her dad $300.

    I did question her why she did not call the police but she said her mother being traditional doesn’t want outside to know or be involve with family matters and probably some part of her believe that her husband will one day change and come back to the family.

    The more Jamie shared her story the more she was on the verge of crying and I cannot take it when I see a woman cry… It was my ultimate soft spot. I tried to change the topic by asking her how come she needs so much money, wasn’t her budget for D&D just $300.

    She stop sobbing immediately and her eyes brighten as we talked about her favourite topic… D&D. She started telling the dress she intend to buy… the hairstyle she wanted to have… the manicure and pedicure… all total up would be about $500 and she was saving it half way. Again she looked at me with puppy eyes saying she definitely would return me but instalments of 5 months…

    The ironic thing was… I had told myself not to make decision with my dickhead but if my 2IC could move he would have dick slapped me because I decided to lend her the $500. I work out the math… I only need about 2k to survive plus help out with family. So if I were making 3.5k per month I do have some surplus…

    When I passed Jamie the money again she gave me a hug… a tighter one this time for me to feel her boobs and she said… you are such a nice guy… if only my boyfriend was like you…

    *End of chapter… would you have lend the money??? img!

    Chapter #70

    Chap 31…

    Previously in chap 30… due to my soft spots for Jamie… I loan her $500… to a woman I only met twice so far… (OMG)

    There was a tinge of regret after I loan Jamie the money… obviously the biggest question was will she “cheat” my money. Though I always hear my mum say if you are prepared to lend… don’t be prepared to take back. Still not that easy to part with that money at 19 years old…

    The terms of borrowing was simple… I believe her D&D was happening end of the month which was October. Followed by that every month, Nov to March each month she would transfer me $100. The exact date of transfer each month was not fix.

    I remember soon after October was over and in early November I was a bit kan jiong for the money already but I don’t want to look desperate chasing people even though it’s my own money (lol). I started by reminding her of my presence by texting her and say hi or good morning. The scary thing was there was no reply… worst still I no longer see Jamie online nowadays after work.

    I gave her benefit of doubt and during late November closed to December I decided to drop a call. There was dial tone but no body picked up. I tried again to drop another call a few days later but same thing I left another missed call.

    Jia lat… I think my money gone liao. I was pretty mad at myself and at Jamie honestly. Until mid-December I suddenly receive a call from Jamie herself. My tone was pretty hostile and angry…

    Me: Wah… thought someone missing liao lo…

    Jamie: Eh don’t like that la… I’m so sorry that’s why calling you now…

    Me: So you calling me because??? Got my money liao? By right this month should return me $200 liao leh.

    Jamie: Can we meet?

    (Again want to meet me and trick me is it… I’m not falling for it again. I decided to meet her because I wanted to get my money back, sorry if any of the bros find me a cheapo… haha)

    Me: Ok… you come Bugis find me like last time?

    Jamie: No no… can you come my area instead? Got reason de… please… I know you busy with work I willing to entertain you any time you are able to drop by.

    (Wonder what she is up to…)

    I agreed and around 11pm I showed up around her area at Balestier. I was waiting below the void deck and I saw her walked out from the lift dressed in a simple top and shorts along with a hand bag and a paper bag on hand.

    Jamie: How are you Jay?

    Me: Can be better if I had $200?

    Jamie: Eh don’t like that can? Can don’t talk to me like that… it’s very hurting (her eyes were watery already)

    I took a gulp of my saliva… wondering… if she uses these tactic all the times to get what she wants. But no… I have to be firm.

    Me: Just stating the truth though I’m prepared for the worst honestly…

    Jamie: I have your $200 here okay… just that…

    Me: Just that what?

    Jamie: Can I don’t pay the remaining $300?? I’ll make it up to you!

    Me: WHAT!? HOW CAN …

    I was about to say how can you say such things but Jamie shut me up but suddenly throwing herself towards me giving me a kiss on my lips.

    Jamie: Shh… don’t so loud… I told you I’ll make it up to you de and I have my reasons okay…

    She took my hostile self away from that kiss (shit I’m falling for the same tactic again… damn it!)

    Me: What reasons?

    Jamie: My… my mum…. She is sick….

    Jamie started crying again… apparently her mum who is working so hard for the family has fallen sick. Kidney failure I believe which require constant dialysis. Of course I wasn’t sure if all these was just an act but I chose to believe. She told me she even broke up with her boyfriend because she knew she would only spend more money on him and she wanted to work harder for her family instead.

    Jamie: I can return you the remaining $300 but if I have that money I rather give my mum and support her in her treatment. I hope you understand…

    Me: Alright. I understand.

    Jamie: But Jay I really want you to know I’m not cheating you… I have no intention. In fact I’m very grateful for what you have done for me. I want to let you know I didn’t take it for granted.

    Me: I know

    Jamie: Can I make it up to you?

    Me: Oh no… it’s really okay.

    Jamie: No no no… I’m determine to make it up to you. I decided le.

    Me: Decide what?

    Jamie: Do you still trust me?

    Me: I guess so… why?
