Hi all, sorry for the long absence.
I took a break for awhile as a couple of things happened in the last quarter of the year.
To summarize:
Life is short. Live it to the fullest.
Will try to update when I can.

Mike is recovering slowly. Please do a comprehensive health screening guys (and girls). My husband was super fit, good diet and all, yet he could still suffer a heart attack.
And nope, Brenda isn’t the reason why I got retrenched, the entire company shut down. In fact, I’m still colleagues with Brenda at a new company after she recommended me for a role there.
Tom and Alicia’s wedding should be end of this year, they haven’t really said anything but it’s really a sooner or later thing. He’s still finalizing his divorce, which is amicable, in case anyone is wondering. His soon to be ex-wife also found someone else who can fulfill her needs.
Mark and Jasmine… I really don’t know. Haven’t really met them since last December when we had a small gathering after Mike was discharged from the hospital.
And EoS, I sure hope he’s doing something about his weight, and his existing medical conditions. Mike’s sudden health issues seem to have given him and Tom something to think about regarding their lifestyle.
That being said, hopefully things go back to normal soon. Maybe there’ll be no more wild sex parties. After all, I’m getting old, and Mike is… Well, he definitely has to take it easy for now.
The next public holiday after my birthday was Hari Raya, and as usual, due to the holiday being on the weekend, the next Monday was an off-in-lieu.
While I thought I’d be having another sex marathon over the weekend, it didn’t happen. Instead, Mike and I somehow decided to just stay home and chill on the sofa.
Work was somewhat back to normal otherwise, I wasn’t exceedingly busy, nor was I as free as I was before. Perhaps it was due to having to train Brenda to be able to handle the projects on her own that made me seem busier than usual. Truthfully, I never really saw myself as a mentor or even a teacher, but work is work and I have to do what I’m assigned to do otherwise I might as well be looking for another job.
Brenda, for the most part, was pretty professional, never really mentioning what she encountered at my place outright, but I could sense that she was really burning with questions for me. After all, she did say that she had partners other than her boyfriend before, but they were all secret. Perhaps she wanted to explore a more open relationship. But again, she never really asked me outright, and I guess I’d only be open to sharing if she asked.
But with Brenda on board, my manager, and I guess my bosses, saw fit to take on way more projects than we ever had. Not that I was complaining, as successful completion meant a bigger bonus for the team. Not that we needed the money, we were comfortable as it is, but who would complain about having a larger bank account?
In any case, life and work continued being busy up until the National Day weekend. We didn’t really have any meetups or gatherings up till then, choosing to just meet for zhi char and what not. It was like my sex life also somehow reset itself back to just having Mike around despite Tom being readily available.
I also rarely heard anything from Mark, guess he was pretty happy with his life with Jasmine and Kate now. Even Shirlyn kind of stopped randomly texting me, not that she did that often before. But it felt like everyone was slowly drifting apart, other than the four of us of course.
That being said, I was pretty sure something was going to happen over the National Day weekend, as no surprises there, Alicia had booked a BBQ pit and invited everyone, assuming everyone was going to show up.
We started setting up around 515pm, with guys helping to bring all the stuff down.
Given that there were two ex-regulars (and 1 current) amongst them, it was no surprise that they were really interested in catching the celebrations on TV and went back upstairs.
I was left with Alicia and Shirlyn of all people, frantically trying to set up the fire, and hoping not to poison anyone with undercooked meats.
Not to sound like an idiot, but fifteen minutes of failing to even get the charcoal burning, I wondered if I should ask for help. Even if it was from the group of youngsters at the neighbouring pit. But I was pretty sure they were more interested in ogling at Alicia or Shirlyn who had practically given up on the fire and decided to unpack the food instead, rather than this 40 year old auntie who was standing over the pit wondering why her coals wouldn’t catch fire.
Just as I was about to give up, Darren suddenly appeared with Nat and the kids.
D: Need some help?
Me: Of course.
N: Well help them then? I’ll bring the kids up first.
D: Ok.
N: Don’t help in other ways ah…
I almost chuckled, but I guess their kids were still too young to understand how their parents were. Then again, Darren really wasn’t my type. His huge cock wasn’t enough of a redeeming factor.
Me: Not watching the parade?
D: Me? Not that interested.
Me: Weren’t you an ex-regular too?
D: Yeah, but I didn’t really enjoy my time there.
Me: Oh.
D: Let me guess, you’re all here cos the guys are watching the parade.
Me: Uh-huh.
D: Well, lucky I’m here then?
Me: Very lucky.
I think it was seriously a guy thing, but Darren expertly set up the charcoal and the fire starters and soon enough, got a fire going.
D: Ok. Have fun!
Me: You’re not joining us?
D: Maybe for drinks later. Have to send the kids to their grandparents’ place.
Me: Ah.
D: Maybe the after-party?
A: There’s an after-party?
S: There’s an after-party?
Alicia and Shirlyn suddenly joined us at the pit.
D: Well… it’s been a while right?
S: I don’t do this anymore.
D: Oh? That’s a shame.
Somehow I thought I saw Shirlyn blush.
A: If you’re down why not? Just come over. I’m sure Tom will be preoccupied.
Me: Oi. Don’t corrupt her. She’s happy now.
S: I am?
Me: Aren’t you?
S: I guess I am?
Me: But?
A: Let me guess, you’re bored of all the sex you’re having with him!
I could see Shirlyn visibly blush and I swear the group of youngsters at the next pit crane their necks to see if they could pick up any juicy gossip.
S: Well… it’s still pretty transactional. I’m not sure if we’re heading anywhere.
Me: Do you want it to go somewhere?
S: I’m not so sure. I’m really enjoying the physical part of it, but sometimes when I’m home alone, I wonder if I deserve better.
A: We all deserve better.
Me: Oh? I don’t seem to see you having any wedding plans.
A: Hahahaha. Soon? Maybe? See how.
Me: You’re happy with Tom right?
A: Of course!
Me: Even though I still sleep with him?
A: Why not?
Me: If I still wanna sleep with him after you’re married?
A: I don’t see an issue?
Me: You’re sure?
A: Positive. For now anyway.
Me: Oh.
Anyway, with the fire going we started to bbq some of the chicken wings first, and immediately turned the entire batch to pure carbon.
Just as I was about to toss the burnt wings, the guys suddenly decided to show up.
Mike: The fire is too strong, you gotta let the coals turn white.
Me: Oh excuse me for not being able to bbq. We’re usually not the ones cooking.
Tom: You didn’t invite our standard chef?
Me: Who?
A: EoS la. I did drop him a text. He didn’t reply. I sort of invited Mark and Jasmine too but they didn’t reply either.
Me: EoS must be busy with his new job.
T: It’s been three months already. Surely he’s settled down by now?
Me: Who knows. Haven’t really been talking to him.
We turned to his cousin.
EC: Hey don’t look at me. We rarely talk these days.
Me: Why are you guys down so early anyway? Thought you were watching the parade?
T: Parade section is over. We aren’t really interested in the other parts.
Me: Oh.
Mike: I’ll do the cooking. Y’all just chill or something.
Tom had already popped open a few cans of beer and was handing them around. I opened a bottle of soju instead.
The next few batches of food were near perfect and we ate and drank. Darren and Nat re-joined us around 830pm, there really was too much food and drinks as usual. We sat there eating, drinking and chatting until the security guard made his rounds to close all the function rooms and get the bbq pits vacated.
Shirlyn headed off with EoS’s cousin as usual and the four of us adjourned up to Alicia’s place. Darren and Nat declined the offer for more drinks and headed home too.
I helped Tom pack the leftover food into the fridge and settled down in front of the couch while Mike went to take a shower. Alicia sneakily entered the bathroom after him soon we could hear her moans coming from the bathroom.
Tom opened another soju and handed it over to me.
T: So how’s everything been so far?
Me: Good I guess. Work’s getting pretty hectic. Brenda’s a huge help. I’m guessing this year’s bonus should be quite substantial.
T: She never asked more about us? Haha.
Me: She hasn’t recently. I think I’ve revealed enough to her already.
T: Enough to make her want to join in?
Me: What? No!
T: Deepavali’s coming soon…
Me: Right.
T: We all know what happens on Deepavali…
Me: Yeah yeah. And I’m still waiting for EoS to join in. Haha.
T: Maybe this year he will?
A: Maybe this year who will what?
We turned to look at her. She was still naked and dripping wet.
T: Maybe EoS will join in the Deepavali festivities.
A: Sounds fun. Anyway… I’m borrowing your husband for a while, maybe an hour or two.
Me: Sure. Don’t wear him out. I need him to drive home.
T: You can always stay over you know?
He reached over and slid his hand under my t-shirt. Alicia chuckled.
A: You two have fun ok! I’m gonna have my fun now.
She headed off to the master bedroom where Mike was no doubt getting ready.
I jokingly slapped Tom’s hand away, but reached around to unhook my bra.
Me: I’m pretty sticky now. And salty.
He didn’t seem to mind as he removed my top and immediately attacked my breasts.
T: Electrolytes.
Me: What?
T: I’m having electrolytes now.
Me: Very funny.
It was long before his own salty sausage was in my mouth and feeding me with his protein. I was kind of surprised.
Me: That was fast. You stopped maca?
T: Nope.
He pointed down, he was fully hard and ready to go again. He helped me off the floor, spun me around and leaned me over the edge of the sofa, pulling down my shorts and panties at the same time, sliding in with expected ease as I was already soaking wet.
As usual, he decided to show me the power of the maca as he pounded me from behind relentlessly until my legs were shaking.
Me: Tom, you don’t have to prove anything. Just cum ok?
T: I’ll think about it.
It was getting late and I was getting sleepy so I squeezed him as hard as I could to see if there was any effect. Sadly, there wasn’t. All the added tightness did was make him thrust even harder that I gave up moaning. My throat was already dry and my moans started to get hoarse.
Ten minutes later I felt his warmth gushing inside me. A substantial amount considering he already came in my mouth. He pulled out and a huge glob of semen started to trickle down my thighs.
Me: Argh… why didn’t you warn me?
T: Why?
Me: Didn’t prepare the tissue.
T: Just go to the bathroom.
I cupped my hand below and waddled to the bathroom, overhearing Alicia still moaning in satisfaction.
I smiled to myself, knowing how lucky we both were to have such understanding guys in our lives.
As Tom and I showered, I was already planning for Deepavali in my head.
And this time I’d be sure to get EoS over, and do my best not to let him leave.
The weeks couldn’t pass fast enough as I counted down to Deepavali.
At work, Brenda and I were saddled with what seemed to be countless back-to-back projects. Stress levels were off the charts and I was thankful to have both Mike and Tom to help me with stress relief. I wondered if Brenda coped the same way I did, but I thought it was better not to ask, otherwise I might open up a can of worms that I didn’t really want to deal with.
The start of the next quarter brought a massive shock to both of us.
We had reported to the office on Monday as usual and were told to prepare client reports for all our outstanding projects, and to report back to the office on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, we were ushered into the conference room where both the CEO and HR director were both waiting for us. They took over our client reports and presented us with severance letters. The company had decided to move its local operations overseas. It didn’t really come as much of a surprise, considering the lean workforce and co-working space.
There wasn’t much of an off-boarding, so we just took our letters and left. Brenda called a Grab and left immediately, while I just roamed around the area wondering what I should do. I took a look at the letter and was rather surprised that I had been given 6 months of severance pay, along with an additional $5k bonus. It was pretty generous. I hoped Brenda had gotten the same deal even though she barely had a year’s experience under her belt.
Anyway, I texted Mike that I’d been retrenched and that I was headed home. He didn’t seem overly concerned but to be frank neither was I. It was a good thing actually, while looking out for new jobs, I would have some time to lose some weight and get in shape for my annual Deepavali gangbang. Or so I thought.
I had started jogging in an attempt to lose weight and generally feel better about myself. I guess I wasn’t really pushing myself as I had been “jogging” daily for nearly two weeks without much noticeable difference. In fact, I probably sweated more while having sex with Mike or Tom with the aircon off.
In any case, Mike decided to join me one Friday evening after I complained to him that I wasn’t losing any weight.
In hindsight, it was probably not the best idea as he had only recovered from the flu the Wednesday prior. However, it was also one of the best decisions he ever made as it ultimately saved his life.
It was a cool evening, we were sufficiently hydrated, and of course, we jogged at a leisurely pace of 9 minutes per km. Mike seemed to be just brisk walking. After the short jog, we headed to the fitness corner to cool down when I realised that something wasn’t right.
Usually he wouldn’t be sweating much but as he sat down on the floor to stretch, I felt like something was off as he looked to be drenched and seemed to be trembling slightly.
I touched his forehead and it was cold.
Me: Are you ok?
M: I think so? I don’t know…
Me: You’re shivering.
M: Am I?
He suddenly stood up and immediately crouched back down.
M: Ok. I don’t feel too good.
I bent down to check on him.
Me: Huh? What’s going on?
Suddenly he rolled over and lay flat on his back.
M: I think you better call an ambulance.
Me: Huh??
A couple of other joggers came over to see if we needed help.
I think I must have blanked out as I couldn’t remember much about what happened next other than Mike being loaded up onto the stretcher and into the ambulance and heading to the nearest hospital.
I remember Alicia and Tom rushing down to see if we were ok.
I remember Mike going for emergency surgery and a stent being inserted.
The doctor said he was really lucky in the sense that he suffered a heart attack and not a cardiac arrest. Obviously I didn’t know exactly what it all meant and had to Google it later on.
Strangely though, despite such a severe medical emergency happening to Mike, my reaction seemed to be more like a blur sotong than a concerned wife. Even Alicia was crying more than me. Maybe with her background she actually understood what it all meant, and tried to explain it to me in simple terms, but my brain didn’t seem to be able to comprehend.
Anyway, after a short stay in hospital, Mike was discharged with a huge bag of medications and hospitalisation leave for a month.
Nothing much changed for him I think, other than his regular exercises. Now all he could was walk to avoid stressing his heart. And of course, no sex. I couldn’t even give him a blowjob in case he got too excited.
Diet-wise, I think it changed more for me. Mike was generally a pretty healthy eater in the first place, except the occasional indulgence of course. Now everything seemed rather bland to me, with lots of steamed/boiled vegetables and meat with little to no seasoning.
But that’s just life isn’t it? Bad things happen just when you least expect it.
Thankfully Brenda managed to rope me into her new company so at least I’d still have a job with a decent salary. It wasn’t as though Mike wasn’t going back to work, but I’m pretty sure being in sales, his output would have been greatly reduced after the heart attack.
Obviously Deepavali came and went without my usual gangbang. It just didn’t feel right without Mike participating.
December came and went as well and we didn’t go for any overseas holidays either.
Then New Year’s Day, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya all passed by.
I guess I’m thankful that at least I still had Alicia and Tom dropping by occasionally to check up on us, bringing us food, and generally just making sure we were both all right.
Mike did ask me if I wanted to continue sleeping with Tom since he wasn’t sure if he could, but somehow, I wasn’t really feeling it. Tom too didn’t feel good about it given Mike’s condition.
I half contemplated looking for Mark but even he turned me down.
I was pretty sure that by the time Labour Day came around, my body would have reset into a virginal state, having not had any form of sexual contact or penetration, except from my toys, for way more than half a year. I was definitely getting a little frustrated. But just as well, at this age, I was probably already pre-monopausal anyway.
