Eager to help/Peace of mind

I woke up in an empty bed. "Jane?", I said loudly. I could hear faint music. I got on some clothes and tried to follow the music, eventually ending up in her bathroom, where she was taking a shower. "Oh, sorry for intruding", I said. But my mind was somewhere else. She was really sexy, honestly.

"No worries." was her only reply. Should I...? I began to have some ideas... If I asked to join her, surely I'd get some points, right? Do I want points on her, though? I'll be honest and admit that yes, I want points on her. She's attractive and there's a sadistic part of me that wants to have the head of the sexual crimes division be an eager bitch *wanting* to follow my every command. I was admittedly also just horny. Using a little bit of my power for my own benefit is okay, right?

"Mind if I join you for a little bit?", I asked while trying to put on a smirk. Her response was a bit unexpected: "Uhm sure, but... if we take too long I can't prepare breakfast in time, you know? But if it's what you want, go right ahead." Again, no points. Weird. She merely informed me of the consequences but never objected. She doesn't seem all too happy about this either, but still complies without making a fuss.

"I'll just help you later with the breakfast preparations, okay? No need to do this alone." My offer to help got her to smile for a moment. But still, she objected. Well, objecting is a strong word. She seemed torn: "B-But you're my guest, right? I'd be a bad host if I don't make you feel comfortable." Is this really just about being a host? Could it be her trait? No, I don't think she's doing it from the bottom of her heart, it feels more like an obligation to her, right?

"Jane, it's okay. I'll feel comfortable either way, right? And I don't mind helping you out." Jane still seemed conflicted. "Alright, hop in, but lets make it quick." Still no points? Ugh. Homework for next time, I guess. For now, it was time for us to get wet, pun intended.

Jane herself wanted to get in the mood and started to kiss me. Our tongues met and started licking each other. I could feel her passion with every move. She clearly wanted this, yet something had held her back.

Jane even initiated the next step, as I felt her hand tenderly stroking my dick. I hugged her with one arm, while my free hand decided to massage her breast. It might feel very simple, but against the backdrop of the warm water running down on our bodies, it was an intimate experience, quite literally very steamy.

She wasn't done yet, however. She tried to lift herself on the arm that I was hugging her with. I was confused at first, but when my dick suddebly found itself inside of her, I realized her motive. She moaned as I started to move my hips. Having her half standing was a very different experience to last night. It was more difficult to push in, but that also meant that it was just tighter. "I love to watch your face get flustered when you're enjoying yourself, Jane. You're a sexy woman and knowing I can make you feel this way makes me a bit proud, honestly."

"Haha, with a dick your size you can make sooooh... many women feel good, James. But don't worry, I'll always beeeeiiih a special one for you, okay? I'll get breakfast done for you, take your time getting ready or take a short nap." She started kissing me again. Jane really has a sweet side, huh? But no, I wanted to help her. I wasn't sure how much time we already spent together, but in this pleasure, it's easy to get distracted.

We finally orgasmed and started our normal shower together. After barely drying her body, she exits the bathroom and rushes to the kitchen. "Jane, no need to be this hasty." My words went unanswered. I turned off the shower radio and dried myself, before joining her in the kitchen. We both kind of... forgot to put on clothes, I guess. But while she was preparing breakfast, I decided to set the table and gave us glasses of water.

"James, you shouldn't have..." was all that she could say. "Come on, I wanna help a woman I like, what's the problem with that? You don't need to do everything yourself, you know?" She just continued cooking, seemingly unfazed. Breakfast was quiet and we separated with a quick kiss on the cheek and a hug before we went our separate ways to work.

Well actually, I had different plans for now. My birthday was coming up soon, and as usual, I'll have no time to celebrate it. My birthday always sucked. Either people come over for New Years, making the birthday feel less about me and ending celebrations when we have our breakfast at noon. Or I have to ask people to stay a second night. Or I celebrate in the afternoon and evening, and everyone is kind of tired from sleeping late on New Years Eve. It sucks, it has always sucked. But still, I want to do something nice. Sure, I'll have to stick around for Em and we might have to strategize future plans, but... I want a cake. And that's why I went grocery shopping.

The ingredients I don't have, flour, sugar, chocolate, and eggs can remain unrefridgerated for a bit, so I dropped them off in my parents' old home. Jesus it's dusty in here. And stuffy. I guess no one opened the windows in a while. I contacted Em, and asked her to pick up the groceries and inspect the house to get an estimate what is needed to make this house more normal again. And I'd need to know how much I'd have to pay. I also included the mail in the grocery bag. All it was, were confirmations for the house purchases Bartholomew advised me to do a while ago. I'm glad they went through.

On my way to work, I got a call from an unknown local number.

"Hello, is this Mr. Goodman I'm speaking to?"

"Uh, yes, who is this?"

"I'm a nurse at the Trinton City hospital. A patient wanted to call you. I'll hand him the speaker immediately." After a brief pause, the caller started.

Well, he started coughing. But it was clear who it was, Mr. Emm. "Hello Mr. Goodman. How are you these days?"

"All well and good. I assume you're not faring that well, given the hospital visit?"

"Indeed not, but it could have been way worse. But you know why I'm calling, don't you?"

"I am making good progress with Em. I'm confident I was able to rekindle her old love for me. My idea is to propose romantically shortly before the countdown."

"Hmm... Cough. Alright, I suppose. It might be good to play with her feelings a bit. This was a productive conversation, son. Keep at it." And just like that, he hung up.

Friendlier tone than last time. In the elevator to the office, I wrote Em to inform her about the call. A simple 'Thanks for telling me.' was all that she wrote. Had she not known of her father's whereabouts until now?

Work itself was going along smoothly, I was pretty certain that I'd be done by the end of the day, barring unforseen circumstances. As I let my thoughts wander, I pondered on everything that has happened in the last month. It's the end of the year, so it's normal to reflect on what has happened, but this year was certainly busier than I expected. I would have never expected to lose my old job, find a new one, meet Amber and go on a date with her, although all but the last were at least plausible.

Hm, it feels weird that my upcoming date with Amber is technically my first, considering that she was the first woman to join my harem. But whatever, I'm excited what she has planned. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, we're both not the romantic type, so does she even want a normal date or will she just try to spice it up the bedroom? As if she could read my thoughts, she sent me where we should meet. A bar-restaurant a little bit outside the immediate city center, definitely not the most convenient part of the city, but still close by from work. She wants to meet right after work. Is this going to be a long night tonight?

Suddenly, I got a call from Gloria. Haven't spoken to her in a while.

"Hi James, what are you up to? Am I disturbing you?"

"I'm at work, but the office is empty. I have the time, though."

"Great! Can I tell you something embarrassing?"

"Uh sure, yeah, what is it?"

"Remember the last time we fucked?" She was distinctly quieter this time.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Well, I had to leave soon and despite you reminding me, I forgot to refill my antidepressants."

"Oh no, are you alright? Can you buy some there?"

"I'm alright, yeah. It's very nice being surrounded by loved ones like your family. I actually didn't buy any here. I don't know how health insurance works abroad, so while it's not necessary for me to take them, I decided not to."

"I'm happy to hear that you're doing well."

"Y-Yeah, it's just... It sounds so weird to say out loud but I wish you were here with me."

"Huh?" She was breathing quickly. "Gloria, is everything alright? You sound weird."

"N-No it's nothing..."

"Well, I wish we could spend some more time together too. Let's make some time after you return, okay?"

"Ugh, that's so long... I don't know if my heart can take it."

"Your heart? Is that why you were breathing weirdly earlier?"

"Uhm, kinda... Everything has been so weird since I came here."

"Explain."

"I mean, I think I know what's going on, I'm not really confused. You know how I told you that my antidepressants suppressed my emotions sometimes. It's so weird being off of them! It's been ages since I last experienced happiness, sadness, or love at full intensity. And now I'm a bit unprepared. I've been taking these since I was a young teen, I never experienced normal love, help me please." Gloria +4SP (+37SP)

"Haha, I'll try my best. From what I understand, love is an emotion that you get better at handling the more you experience it. So you'll become an expert over time. With sadness... Maybe focus on the good sides or remind yourself that there is always a good thing when you're sad. Just so you don't lose track of the good our world has to offer. And happiness is best enjoyed earnestly, as it comes. Smile to your heart's content."

"I'll try to keep that in mind, thanks James."

"Oh, one question, just out of curiosity... Have you tried masturbating? Have the effects stopped there, too?"

"Uhm, not really. I guess that's why it's a side effect. I'm sorry that you'll never get to see me cum..." Gloria +3SP (+40SP)

"It's okay Gloria. All I wanted to know is how you feel, so thank you. See you on Friday."

"Bye, I love you." Aww, it's nice to be the crush of someone.

Laura

"Hey, big bro. Wanna take a walk on the beach together again?"

He looked at his watch. "Sure." He still got the code, I'm glad. Once we were outside the earshot of our parents' house, he started talking. "Really brings me back to our childhood. Talking about things mum and dad aren't supposed to know."

"Yeah, that's why I asked you here..."

"Come on, spit it out. We can't be gone for too long, you know those two."

"Sorry, right. I guess it's two questions. How did you break the news about Nadine to mom and dad?"

"Pretty simple, honestly. I gave them an awful choice."

"Hm?"

"Either they have to accept that I married a cougar after college, or... I'd cut them out of my life entirely. I gave them the choice of whether to receive our wedding invites or not. Why are you asking?" Hm, wedding? I don't know if things ever go this far. Fuck...

"Uhm... I... met an older guy too... I guess."

"You guess?"

"I-I mean, he's just 24, but you know our parents."

"Yeah, that isn't gonna go great, Laura."

I sighed. What else could I do about this. "I... don't wanna leave them, leave you and Nadine, but... I know what mom and dad would say and try to do if they found out. I'm an adult now, I'm allowed to make mistakes, although it's not really been one thus far."

"How recent are we talking?"

"A couple weeks. Don't worry, I would have never invited him that quickly, but you know... I expect us to still be a thing next year, and the following years too."

"Ah, sweet innocent love."

"Innocent... I wouldn't call it that. But not like mom and dad have to know."

"Ugh, tmi, sis."

"Haha, it's funny seeing you blush like that. And you say that as if I didn't have to hear of your love for milfs a hundred times before..."

He paused for a moment and then smiled. "You know sis, you're right, you're not a kid anymore. Still feels hella weird discussing this with you, though."

"Oh, I don't mind showing off a little bit..."

"Rascal."

"Going for fancy words this time, huh? Oh, before I forget... He did ask me to do one thing, since we're living together. When you and Nadine moved in together, what did you do with the rent money mom and dad gave you?"

"I paid it back on the college debts."

"Can you do that without dad noticing?"

"Yeah, you're an adult so dad has to ask you, not the bank, if he wants to know anything. Just say no, he never bothered to look more closely. And if he didn't bother with the first child, he'll never do so with the younger sibling."

"I guess you're right, yeah. And I didn't expect you to be so responsible so early on in your life." I would have loved some extra money for cosplay, though...

"Honestly, it was Nadine's idea at first, I had to hold myself back. Now, I obviously think I made the right choice, so I'm glad your boyfriend is looking out for you."

Boyfriend... it feels weird to call daddy that. I wanna go back to his place soon, I hope he's doing well. For now, mom was finished preparing dinner. I checked the clock and... damn it, he should be in the middle of the work day. I can't call daddy right now...
