The sound of the doorbell being pressed repeatedly from outside startled me out of my sleep. I'm still dreaming, but I'm falling out of bed. Hold on, I have to get my robe first.It doesn't cover the whole body, though. The pink chiffon material is dreamy, contrasting with my dark underwear. I shook my head at the thought of guests arriving this early.Satya maybe. He hasn't been here for almost a week since the tussle in the parking lot.Besides, who knows where I live? I didn't feel like ordering anything either.I tied the shiny cord of my robe around my waist as I reached for the door knob, and yes, I was quite surprised to have forgotten my new neighbor who was a senior on campus. Ben.In contrast to his glassy look, the young man was quite dapper in a sleeveless T-shirt that showed off his biceps and long jeans that clung snugly to his long legs.I chuckled to myself as I avoided his gaze and looked into the hallway behind Ben. It was deserted. There was no one behind him."What
"Help you with what?" asked Ben, who didn't seem to understand when I guided his hand to hold the back of my body in an embrace.I could hear Satya's laughter in the background and the smell of burning tobacco. He always enjoyed scenes like this.Slowly, Ben backed away following my push until he was lying on the surface of the bed.I don't know if he really didn't understand or if he was waiting, but Ben was looking up at the ceiling when I pulled down the zipper on his pants. His hands were clenched at his sides while his feet were still on the floor."Sorry, Ben," I said when I found evidence of Ben's manhood strengthening after being released from its cover."He wants you too, Rei." Satya laughed again as he smoked.Rei said Satya and Ren said Ben. Different pronunciations that I actually just realized. Why did Satya call me that?The tip of my tongue touched the line encircling Ben's large head slowly, letting the owner squeeze the sheets at his side. The funny thing is, he's like
Hot ....I felt a strong spurt down there until the melt tickled my groin. My lower abdomen seemed to throb, further strangling the object that had rubbed against the innermost wall.Stinging and itching merged with a strange wave that strained all my joints and bones.I pushed back, latching onto Ben's until he sank all the way in, ramming into my cervix until it was completely stuck.My stomach felt like it was being squeezed, forced to release all the juices that encompassed Ben's manhood. I'm sure the evidence of my climax melted along with Ben's cum.Not afraid of getting pregnant?No, I'm not. Satya guaranteed monthly medical check-ups and contraception at the beginning of our agreement. He obviously doesn't want to take the risk of contracting a disease or having to take care of a baby that doesn't necessarily come from his seed.Me too. Well, although having a baby would have been cute, that wish had to be put on hold by the reality of our current relationship. It was just a co
It was just me and Ben lying weakly on the surface of the bed without a single thread covering us. After the upheaval earlier, it seemed that seeing Ben's body was no longer a stranger to my vision.Whether it was the scent of sweat or the union that dominated the air around us, I began to breathe more freely. We were so tired that neither of us moved to find an air conditioner.The air Satya left behind is actually still too hot, even though he's no longer here. Messy sheets, randomly thrown pillows, clothes piled up on the floor."Did he leave?" asked Ben after minutes had passed since the door was closed from the outside. He was still closing his eyes, putting an arm around his forehead.Maybe he was just making sure or was too caught off guard to notice the change after being exhausted?I said, "Already."I drooped, absorbing the throbbing pain that was still strong in my groin. Rolling over to find a comfortable position instead, my lips let out a moan.My body down there was tryi
I knocked and carried the still-warm food container to the doorstep of the next unit. The unit of my neighbor, Ben.I thought it wouldn't be a bad thing to repay his kindness a few days ago. After all, if his story had been true, I should have met his wife.I really wanted to know, had I interfered with someone else's relationship?I mean, it's possible that Ben is covering up his rottenness despite the loyalty he's maintained all this time. It's a lie to talk about being faithful, but he once wanted to kiss me in the elevator, and even wanted to have a threesome even though he was forced to enter.He's quite fun. His touch is also addictive. I won't refuse if he wants to do it again.Ah, I feel like a real bitch. Do I have the talent to be a mistress too?Imagining challenging things like that can also make my panties wet. After all, Ben is a typical shy meow.Pretentious, but ferocious."How many times have I told you? I'll just go to your place," he said when he opened the door and
"Ben, if I'm full, my stomach will be cramped. I'll throw up if I play again." I protested as Ben crammed rice and curry in my mouth.It's not just about being full, but it's curry, full of oil. What if my belly sags and then it's no longer pleasant to look at? The boys want to see me, hold me, because of this precious asset."Do you want to be made to come out again?" Ben chuckled. He placed the plate of food from his hand onto the table, right beside his laptop."You're no different from Satya," I complained, combing the view from Ben's thin mattress up here.There was no longer a bookshelf, but large books were neatly arranged on the table attached to the wall. Not dusty either. Either because he likes to read or because he likes to clean."Same in terms of things?" Ben moved the curtains that blocked the light from outside. The window design almost filled the wall like in the pantry."The game is rough." I adjusted the position of Ben's T-shirt that covered my body. It's oversized,
I thought I could rest after a long and very exciting hot session. Two hours, three hours, who knows how long I slept afterward. Only Ben's shaking of my shoulder woke me up in the early hours of the morning, when the sun had yet to make an appearance despite several blinks."I'm leaving. Do you still want to sleep here or come back?" The smell of soap combined with the freshness of toothpaste hit my nostrils when I heard that sentence."Where to?" I asked nasally. I rolled over, onto my stomach as I stretched my body, which was crumbling. My muscles seemed to be slipping out of their support."Exercise," Ben said.Ah? Where was he going?I saw Ben wearing a sleeveless T-shirt and shorts that people usually wear when they're going to exercise. What did Ben do for exercise? I wondered what made his body so athletic and well-proportioned with a slice of bread."Wait." I forced myself to stand up, but the top of my head hit the ceiling of the room. "Ben, I'm changing my clothes first."I
"Go home?" Karin approached me and Ben who were already in the parking lot of the house after we said goodbye. Ben's sister was ready with the keys in hand indicating the whereabouts of her car.Rich people. Enviable. The rows of cars in the parking lot were not the usual brands I saw on the streets."Take Rena first," Ben said, then maybe he realized I was behind him, and took a step back so we could stand side by side.Being stared at makes me look wrong, you know. The strands of hair that fall down my face until I combing it behind my ears.If before coming here I would try not to get carried away because I thought Ben still had a legal wife, I guess now I don't need to worry anymore.Dera is already dead. This means that Ben is single, there is no one who demands loyalty from him. Well, although there is still some curiosity about the girl who met Ben several times in the apartment.That girl also seems to have caused a ruckus in the early hours of the morning, causing a guy like B
"Did you choose to settle here?" This was Maureen's question. I've gotten to know her better since moving to this country. Maybe a few blocks apart, but close enough to do our weekly shopping together."Ben said he had some business, so I guess his offer for me to stay here until graduation wasn't a bad choice," I explained as I pushed our shopping trolley into the trunk of the car, while Maureen looked tired from pushing the babies' stroller."Yeah..., I think your choice isn't bad. I can have someone to talk to too while you guys aren't back yet." Her intonation was clearly hopeful.For me who barely had any friends, moving around more than expressing what I felt, being friends with Maureen was a luxury. She was quite chatty, and I barely had anything to talk about other than responding to her."The twins really enjoy sleeping ...." I glance at the presence of Maureen's babies. Boys.I thought Maureen had a special relationship with Ben, but she ended up marrying Angga. I guess I wa
"Are we really moving there together?" Rena questioned after seeing the e-ticket I had on my phone screen. Well, that was a bit of a surprise. "It depends on how long you want to stay there." Since the visa Rena applied for was also for non-immigrants, it was valid only during the student exchange. If she wanted to extend it as a tourist or even stay, I wouldn't mind. In fact, for the time being, it might be better for Rena to take a vacation or find something that isn't tiring. The previous incident that took away our future child sometimes made Rena shed tears. "How are you doing?" Rena asked again. She continued to fix the toga I was wearing. Even though there was no departmental photo session and it was okay to take off all the graduation gear attached to my body. The weather lately has been in favor of taking off my clothes. "Which job is it?" I moved closer to Rena's side, looking at the photos of the camera she had just taken from the tripod, used earlier to capture moments
"Any hurt?" I asked after finding Rena pinched between the passenger bench and the protective airbag. At least I could still breathe a sigh of relief knowing Rena could still walk out after the collision just now.I saw Satya still on the driver's seat, pressed against the door next to him that was wrenched in. He was unconscious.Maybe someone could say that I was really reckless in crashing the motorcycle into the car carrying Rena, and the four-wheeled vehicle swerved to avoid me. It was partially destroyed by the road divider.Me? Well, I'm fine with a little friction on the skin of my arm from being dragged on the asphalt when I let go of the motorcycle I was riding earlier. After all, the injuries I got before were much more. All of this... is nothing."Ben? How could you...," Rena was holding my waist, more like she was pulling my arm to rest on her shoulder, "you still have to need rest?""Think of yourself, Rena!" I refused, feeling that she was much more in need of help."Me?
A few months in a second-floor room in a Somerville neighborhood, about an hour away from campus by public transportation, was not so foreign to me. It was like sharing a house with strangers without interfering in each other's private affairs.Shared common spaces, with private rooms. Don't forget the private bathroom for me. It's a bit more expensive than the rent for other residents' rooms, but it's better than having to wait in line at a crucial time.This morning I was surprised by the arrival of a thousand white roses, the delivery courier said. It's a good thing they weren't real roses, or I would have acted like I had a cold all day.Who knows about my allergy other than close friends? Uncle Darren has 'almost killed me' many times for giving me real flowers.By the way about Uncle Darren, I offered him to redo our relationship completely from scratch. As a good cousin, not based on desire that I know is hard to resist.Who could resist a Maureen?Okay, call me narcissistic. A
"We need to talk, Uncle." Maureen almost pushed the blanket off her legs when Darren nodded. In his opinion, they needed to settle their dangling relationship outside of the decisions of the people around them. They had the freedom to decide their future regardless of the stigma attached to Maureen snatching Darren. "Yeah, we have to," Darren smiled instantly even though the airline's departure announcement seemed to delay them, "but later. See ya." The man signaled his departure by pointing outside. Of course Maureen clearly knew she had to wait for Darren to meet her. However, the flight--which she had read on the internet--lasting for over eight hours until arriving at the transit airport further strengthened her curiosity. "Shit!" There wasn't the slightest hint of enjoyment in any of the amenities that could divert his curiosity. The airline's signature main course reminded her of eating with Angga even though it was served in small portions. The expensive wine offered by th
"Yes, Grandpa gave me a first class ticket. It's really cool, isn't it?" After going through the check-in section, Maureen dragged her suitcase through the corridor directed by the attendant to be placed on the flight baggage entry rail while continuing her phone call to a friend on the other side. "Not really. I've only ever been on private jets."It wasn't just a different island, but also a different continent. Serena's friend had already left for another country."I and Angga just let it flow. We don't have to get married quickly." Maureen's steps quickened as she looked at the white gold band-like watch around her left wrist. Her departure time was just around the corner. She needed time to relax her waist for a moment."Are you sure he can stay with you so far away?" Serena's question had been a long consideration for Maureen to maintain a relationship with Angga until it needed to be discussed.Angga's time-consuming profession sometimes made Maureen doubt if the man was only o
"What, huh?" Angga tapped each of Maureen's fingers that hung in the air as they grasped each other, comparing the same shape that differed in size. "My family is not very close." Every time they met face to face, they would smile at each other, considering the accident as part of fate. "Is that how you get along?" Maureen recalled how Erlan, who was also a doctor under her father's position, could talk as light as a feather when they met. There was indeed a conversation that was avoided, and Maureen's curiosity led to questions until Angga, who was usually to the point, pulled out the trump card he wanted. "Well, just to say hello. Not more." Angga straightened his back, placing it against the glass wall of the room as he looked at the dark sky outside. Clear without clouds. "So, there's not much we can invite from your family?" asked Maureen, looking for ways to pry information using the alibi of their wedding needs. Angga's narrow eyes widened in amazement. "You said you haven
"M.J. Abraham...," said the man who made Angga turn to the clapping hands nearby, "it's Angga's surprise, ihuh?" A couple of people Angga knew greeted him in turn, then Resti joined their small circle. Maureen reflexively followed Angga even though she felt she had never seen that two people before, she was a bit surprised by the title the man had given them as if they had known each other before. "Wow, Uncle Erlan and Aunt Iren came too!" Resti offered two glasses of drinks on trays carried by the waiters and was immediately greeted with a look of friendliness. Perhaps confused, or rather observing, Maureen had to take a quick look at each face near her in turn. There was no falseness that came to her from Angga's life, including the family that came. They were even newly reunited. "Can't word on your candidate, here." The woman called Aunt Iren chimed in. Although the knee-length dress she wore was formal with long sleeves and no special accents, she had her own charisma behind
A dark SUV pulled up in front of a spacious ironwood house, dropping off a pair of people who seemed perfectly matched in both appearance and body language. The sturdy old building in front of them was surrounded by a heavy guard, reinforcing the notion that an important event was taking place inside."Do we have to come like this?" asked the woman, adjusting the skirt of her evening blue satin dress to cover her ankles. A headpiece of similar material was pinned with a simple silver hoop, adding to the expensive nature of the overall look.She regretted the impression of a family that had to look perfect at all events despite the fact that they were going through a long war of contention that had yet to be resolved. From legal settlements regarding the division of joint property during marriage, to custody matters and the accompanying financing.Iqlima could use the alibi of Darren's infidelity if he still insisted on taking their three children from her side. It wasn't just snippets
