Forbidden Heat: Jamie Bennett's Singapore Diaries
Thanks for reading, here is the final chapter along with the full short story. Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Singapore Fuckery
So here's the thing. I shagged my dad's wife. And his maid. Sometimes both together.
Not what I expected when I got on that BA flight heading East, but there you go. Life's full of surprises, innit? Especially when your old man's a globe-trotting wanker who thinks a 'change of scenery' involves his stepson nailing his staff.
I'm Jamie. Twenty-two. Finished at Cambridge last year with a shit degree and even shittier prospects. Been kipping on my mate Dave's sofa in Clapham since Emily told me to sod off three months ago. Dad called out of the blue, said I should 'come out East for a bit, clear your head.' Translation: he was sick of Mum going on about what a state I was in. He probably hoped the strict laws of the Lion City would, for once, curb my... enthusiasms. Little did he know.
So off I went. Thirteen hours on BA with a hangover and a monumental erection, thanks to the new cabin crew uniforms. The stewardess on my aisle had these legs that went on forever, all wrapped up in those sheer tights they wear. Reminded me of Ms Richardson, my English teacher back at school when I was sixteen. Same air of untouchable sophistication. Same effect on my cock.
Must've dozed off somewhere over Turkey 'cos next thing I know I'm dreaming about that stewardess. She's got me in the toilet, cramped as hell, bent over that tiny sink with her skirt hiked up. No knickers, obviously, 'cos that's how dreams work. 'We've got three minutes before they notice I'm gone,' she keeps saying, all posh BA accent. Her name badge says 'Charlotte' and she's definitely older than me, probably mid-thirties, wedding ring glinting under the harsh bathroom lights. She keeps looking back at me with this filthy smile, her eyes promising naughtiness. Woke up with a start when the food cart clanged my elbow, sporting a proper tent under my chinos. Had to sit with my jacket on my lap for an hour. Fucking embarrassing.
Landed at Changi, the glass and steel a monument to efficiency, almost aggressively sterile against the blast of tropical air. It still managed to taste of distant rain and something wilder beneath the gleaming veneer. The humidity clung, a damp blanket that promised to unravel not just his shirt, but his very inhibitions. Dad's driver, some bloke who looked like he'd rather be anywhere else, took my knackered rucksack and chucked it in the boot of a gleaming Mercedes.
'Mr Bennett senior is in Jakarta, sir. Mrs Bennett waits at home.'
Course he wasn't bloody there. Charles Bennett, international man of mystery, too important to pick up his own son. Tosser.
Dad's place was in one of those wanky skyscrapers with names like 'The Pinnacle' or 'Infinity Towers' or some other bollocks that wealthy expats lap up. The doorman bowed when I got out of the car, which still made me want to crawl into a hole. Everything in this immaculate place felt designed to make you feel both important and utterly insignificant.
Up in the lift, mirrors everywhere. Christ, I looked rough. Hair all over the shop, stubble just past sexy and into homeless territory, and massive sweat patches under my arms. The lift opened directly into the flat. Sorry, the 'penthouse residence,' as Dad insisted on calling it. And there she was, waiting like something out of a film.
The maid. Filipina, early thirties, in one of those old-school uniforms that was probably Dad's idea of tradition but just came off as creepy colonial bollocks. But God, if she didn't wear it well. White blouse, black skirt, and those sheer nude tights that made her legs look incredible.
'Welcome, sir. I'm Maria.' Her eyes did a quick up-and-down that lingered just a bit too long, a flicker of something knowing. 'Mrs Bennett is waiting.'
Christ, look at her. Probably mid-thirties but fit as hell. All prim and proper in that uniform, but I'd bet she was filthy behind closed doors. Wouldn't mind finding out what she was into. Probably more than her husband back in Manila knew about.
And then there was Ting. My stepmum. Dad's trophy.
'Jamie.' She crossed the room in heels that could kill a man. Her presence was like a perfectly orchestrated symphony -- elegant, commanding, and utterly captivating. 'Welcome to our home.'
Fuck me. The photos Dad had sent didn't do her justice. Forty-ish but could pass for thirty easy. A sharp, black bob haircut, a red dress that probably cost more than my student loan, and legs wrapped in sheer black stockings that seemed to hum with potential.
'Thanks for having me,' I managed, suddenly aware I was sweaty, smelly, and sporting an undeniable erection that thankfully my baggy jeans were mostly hiding. I tried to shuffle my rucksack a bit higher, covering my crotch, probably making it more obvious.
'You need a shower,' she said, looking me up and down, her gaze lingering on my crotch for a fraction too long. 'And proper clothes for dinner. Your father expects certain standards.'
I bit back about fifteen sarcastic responses. 'I didn't pack much formal stuff.'
Something flickered across her face, a hint of amusement. 'There are many rules in this city,' she said, her voice soft but firm. 'Some written, some not. You'll learn.' She gestured toward a hallway. 'Maria will show you to your room. Dinner at eight.'
As Maria led me down the corridor, I caught her stealing a glance back at Ting. Something passed between them that made my spider sense tingle. There was history there. Secrets. This place felt like a city of them.
But first, I really did need that shower.
I stood under it for ages, washing off twenty hours of travel grime. My cock, however, had other ideas. It kept throbbing, thinking about Ting's legs in those stockings and Maria's arse in that tight skirt. Ended up having a wank just to clear my head. Felt a bit wrong doing it in Dad's house while thinking about his wife, but fuck it. Needs must. I nearly dropped the soap on my foot, which would have been a proper anti-climax.
Dad always said I lacked impulse control. He'd lost his shit when I got caught smoking weed behind the bike sheds at Eton. 'Control yourself, James,' he'd said, all stern and disappointed. Said the same thing when I shagged Felicity Carter at his fiftieth birthday party. Well, technically that was in the garden, not actually at the party, but whatever. My London life felt very far away, a grey little cage compared to this humid, vibrant, incredibly horny existence.
I crashed on the bed for a quick nap. Woke up four hours later, a familiar, insistent throb between my legs and that weird jet lag feeling where your brain doesn't know what fucking time it is. Checked my phone. 7:30 PM. Shit. Dinner at eight.
Pulled on the one decent outfit I'd brought -- a blue button-down and some navy chinos. Headed out to face the evening.
The flat was bloody enormous. All minimalist furniture that looked expensive but uncomfortable. I followed the sound of voices to the balcony.
Ting had changed into something even more distracting, a black dress with a slit up one side that showed a flash of thigh every time she moved. She was on the phone, speaking rapid-fire Mandarin or Cantonese or something. When she saw me, she ended the call.
'Good, you're awake,' she said, her eyes travelling over me with undisguised appreciation. 'I was beginning to think we'd lost you to jet lag.'
We had dinner. Fancy wine I pretended to appreciate. Fancy food I didn't have to pretend to like. Throughout, I felt a current building between us. Ting's gaze kept lingering when she thought I wasn't looking. She'd lean forward slightly when she spoke, offering glimpses of cleavage that seemed both accidental and deliberate.
'Your English is very different from your father's,' she observed. 'More... informal?'
'You mean I sound like a normal person instead of someone with a silver spoon permanently lodged up his arse?' I suggested, the wine loosening my tongue.
Ting's laugh was genuine and unexpected, a sound that transformed her face. 'You speak too quickly sometimes. It's hard for me to follow.'
