KTV

Jane arrived at the KTV, feeling excited yet nervous, as she anticipated her fourth meeting with Gary. She wore a long sleeve white cotton top that hugged her curves just right, paired with a beige Gucci pleated skirt that accentuated her slender legs. The fitting cotton top showed off her pair of round breasts nicely, and Jane made sure to wear a thinner laced bra so as to show off some "bounce" as she walked in her heels. Her outfit was simple yet sexy.

Gary arrived. Jane smiled at him adoringly. They walked into the KTV located within the mall and booked the usual small room at the furthest corner. The KTV during the afternoons is usually vacant, and there was lesser staff.

Gary: Oh my god, you look great today!

Jane: Hahaha, you like my outfit today?

Gary nodded, smiled and cupped his hand over Jane's hand on her lap. Jane did not flinch. The couple had held hands in the past KTV sessions too. The KTV attendant knocked and came in with their ordered drinks. He then left the room, and Gary and Jane knew they would be left alone thereafter. Jane proceeded to pick her and Gary's favourite songs, which she knew very well. After all, they have frequented the KTV several times now. She took a sip of her mocktail and sat back. Gary held her hand again and Jane leaned onto him.

The songs played, as Gary and Jane chatted about Gary's work. While he was working on flexible time, the deadlines and stress on the job were overwhelming. He mentioned the KTV sessions helped him relieve the stress and was thankful to have Jane's company. What he did not plan, was falling in love with Jane, he said.

Jane: You don't idiot huh.

Gary: It's true, I couldn't sleep at night without thinking of you. I was also imagining you in bed beside me, and I held you tightly.

Jane: I'm married hor, don't play play.

Gary: I know, but right now you are with me right?

Gary smiled again, and squeezed Jane's hand. Jane wondered if Gary was trying to hit on her. She was developing feelings for Gary too, he was gentle, sweet and very responsible in his work. In fact, she felt a little guilty not being able to help Gary more in relieving his work stress.

Gary: Can I hold you?

Jane nodded slightly and leaned her head on Gary's shoulder as he wrapped his right arm over her shoulders. They rested in this position, eyes closed and listened to their favourite songs.

All of a sudden... Gary whispered into Jane's ear...

Gary: Can I kiss you?

Jane opened her eyes.

Jane: Huh?

She heard Gary loud and clear, but was unsure how to react. She was feeling confident about herself whenever she was with Gary and that she was able to attract him and hold his attention easily. It was no surprise to her that Gary was making his advances, especially after he confessed his feelings for her.

Sensing no rejection from Jane, Gary held her tightly with his right arm while directing her chin towards his face with his left hand. Jane knew what was going to happen next but did not object to his move. Perhaps this would help Gary forget about his work. Or maybe she was giving in to her feelings for him. It might be the comfortable couch and the privacy of the KTV room...

As such thoughts ran through her mind, Jane felt a warm, soft peck on her lips. She realised she had closed her eyes unconsciously. She felt Gary's lips on hers again, this time his lips stayed on longer.

Jane then felt Gary's lips lightly sucking on her upper lip, and she reciprocated. The sucking of each others lips resulted in several soft, suckling sounds. Jane was pleasantly surprised at how warm and gentle Gary's lips felt. The sucking grew harder and the kissing sounds grew louder.

Jane had several boyfriends before me, as expected, she had kissed other guys before. However, all that was prior to marriage. The fact that she was kissing a guy other than her husband seemingly turned her on. Was it the feeling of doing something taboo that excited her?

Jane placed a hand on Gary's chest and she felt his kisses grew wilder. All of a sudden, his lips detached from hers but before she could react, she felt a warm, wet lick on her lips. His lips returned to hers but this time with his tongue in the action too. Not before long, Jane felt a slight push of Gary's tongue into her mouth. Without hesitation, she opened her mouth and her tongue met his...

The frenching went on for several minutes. Jane was feeling very comfortable in Gary'a arms. She felt his left hand moving down from the side of her face to the side of her chest, while the other arm held on to her shoulder tightly. In return, Jane turned her body more towards Gary and wrapped her arms around his neck. If the KTV attendant came into the room at this moment, he would be treated to this sensual scene of the couple cradling and frenching each other.

The frenching soon turned into sucking of each other's tongue. The scene was getting more intense by the minute. Jane had totally engrossed herself in the warmth of Gary's arms and the wild frenching and sucking, that she ignored Gary's hand which is now lightly cupping her right breast. Jane's nipples were already harden at this point, and she knew Gary could feel it too through the fitting cotton top and the thin lace bra. Was she expecting this to happen and dressed intentionally? Jane felt a light squeeze on her breast...

Her handphone alarmed sounded off, giving them a rude start. They broke off from each other's embrace.

Gary: Stay...

Jane: Cannot, this appointment last week already fixed. Cannot fly aeroplane.

Jane straightened her hair as she pulled herself together, much to Gary's dismay. She gave Gary a kiss on the lips, whispered into his ear and left the KTV.

When she got home that night, she acted as though nothing happened. I was none the wiser, of course.

About 3 months ago, Jane had agreed to meet up with Gary, after getting along very well on online chats. The few initial meetings were normal, innocent lunches or dinners, usually between her work appointments. These meetings gave purpose to the time between her appointments, as opposed to her wondering around shopping malls aimlessly before meeting the next client. How did such ordinary meet ups spiral out of control?

After years of keeping this story to myself, I've finally decided to share it, after much consideration. Is it merely a story, or an experience, given that certain parts of it did happen? Though it occurred long ago and I've since forgiven her, the events are forever etched in my mind. This narrative is constructed partly from her sporadic disclosures over the years, prompted by my deliberate probing, as well as my own reflections, the texts I've encountered, and the incidents I've witnessed. Some aspects are imagined, and as to which parts, I'll leave that to the readers' speculation. Join me on this journey now, a story ten years in the making.
