Chapter 21 - Home

Daniel stepped out of the door of the massive Boeing 747 he had spent the last several hours aboard and onto the yellow steel stairs down to the tarmac below. He took in a long, deep breath, savouring the fresh English air of home before the man behind him cleared his throat, passive aggressively telling Daniel to hurry the hell up. With his rucksack slung over his shoulder he headed down the steps and made the short walk inside the airport itself through a pair of sliding doors. He followed his fellow passengers through the guts of the huge complex as they made their way through various rooms and corridors surrounded by glass on every side, various runways stretching out as far as the eye could see as planes taxied and holds were filled with luggage. Eventually he found himself at the baggage claim area, waiting with his fellow passengers for his bags to arrive so he could set off on the last leg of his arduous journey. As the conveyor belt snaking around the room whirred into life he was reminded of waiting for his bags with Shantelle back in Tokyo. It had been one hell of an adventure and as his mind wandered while waiting for his bags to emerge, he daydreamed, reminiscing about his epic trip.

After arriving in Japan and spending the night with Shantelle, Daniel had awoken beside the kindly black woman as the first rays of morning light slipped their way between the bedroom shutters. She had reached out for him, pulling Daniel into her breast and after making out in bed for a little while they got out of bed and stepped into the shower together, justifying it by saying it would save water. "We're in the middle of a heatwave in Tokyo honey, we have to do our duty as visitors to this fine land!" she had explained with a cheeky grin on her face. Daniel was hardly going to argue and so they stripped off and got under the cascading hot water from the showerhead, washing away every trace of their night of sexual antics. They helped to wash each other's bodies with a loofah and plenty of soap, getting into every single nook and cranny, skin shiny and soapy, dying to be touched, but as Daniel's fingers slid between her ample thighs to properly wish her a good morning, Shantelle stopped him. "I'm sorry sugar, I really want to, but I don't have time, I can't be late for my meeting," she explained a little glumly. Daniel looked a little disappointed, but he understood, plus he could hardly complain after what they had gotten up to the previous night. "How about we meet up after I'm finished with work? We can get some food and maybe if you're lucky I'll invite you back to my room?" she suggested as she started to wash her hair, turning to wag her eyebrows suggestively at the much younger man.

"If I'm lucky?" Daniel asked with a raised eyebrow as he pulled Shantelle close to him, leaning to her ear so that he could whisper into it huskily. "We both know I'll be back here tonight for round two." The two strangers turned lovers looked at each other intensely as if daring the other one to back down before Daniel stepped out of the shower, grabbing a towel and offering another to Shantelle who's naked body still glistened with beads of water, making for quite the tantalising view as she stepped out onto the tiled floor.

"I like the confidence baby," she purred while taking the towel from him, placing her hand behind his head and pulling his lips to hers for a deep kiss. "I'll see you in the lobby at six and we'll see if you're right," she teased as their lips parted, flashing Daniel a little wink before heading back into the bedroom to get dressed for work.

Daniel spent the rest of the day exploring the area around the hotel and getting caught up on some sleep after his late night with Shantelle. By the time he woke up from an afternoon nap it was already half four in the afternoon and so Daniel got himself up, cleaned and dressed ahead of his 'date' with Shantelle. After checking himself in the mirror Daniel made his way down to the hotel's reception, only having to wait for a few minutes before his companion arrived. Shantelle was once again dressed in her best formal attire, a smart black business suit with a white shirt and killer black stiletto heels. She certainly knew how to make an impression and they embraced warmly before heading out to find somewhere to eat. Now an experienced gaijin after multiple visits to Tokyo, Shantelle guided them to a nearby restaurant tucked away in a side street and offering all kinds of different ramen dishes. She explained that it was a popular spot with locals but most tourists didn't know about it due to it being so small and off the beaten path, explaining why we drew a couple of curious looks from the usual clientele. After searching the bustling restaurant for an unoccupied table we both took a seat and ordered our meals. Daniel decided to snap a picture to remember the moment by clinking glasses with Shantelle, getting both of their bowls of piping hot noodles in frame as well. Happy with the quality of the picture, Daniel decided he would upload it to social media once he got back to the hotel and they both tucked in, satiating one form of hunger while another only slowly continued to build between them.

By the time they had finished eating and drinking their second bottle of sake it was almost nine in the evening and so after downing the last of the drinks in their glasses they made their way back out into the balmy summer air. They were both a little tipsy and so they walked and talked arm in arm, laughing together as they went, occasionally stopping off in a more quiet spot to make out with each other, resisting the urge to tear their clothes off right then and there. Once they got back to the hotel all bets were off and in a matter of seconds of getting into Shantelle's room they were both naked with Daniel on his knees, face buried in the elder woman's crotch as she grabbed onto his hair and moaned like a wanton whore. They spent all night sucking, fingering and fucking in every position you can imagine, taking breaks in between to drink water, rest and even watch a little television before returning to their erotic antics. The clock had reached three in the morning by the time the two were completely spent, laying in bed together and covered in sweat.

"I don't want to seem rude darling but I have to be up early for my flight, so do you mind sleeping in your own room tonight?" she asked softly as she lazily traced her finger along Daniels chest.

"Sure," Daniel replied groggily, fighting off the urge to fall asleep right then and there. "Sorry for keeping you up so late before your flight."

"Oh don't you worry sugar, it was more than worth it," Shantelle crooned in her deep south accent that sounded smooth like molasses. "Besides, I'll get some sleep on the plane."

"Okay, well, I best go then," Daniel said reluctantly. "It was really nice meeting you Shantelle."

"You too honey," she replied before leaning forwards so they could share one final kiss, Daniels hands finding his way to her heavy breasts so he could squeeze and caress them one last time. After climbing off the bed Daniel pulled his clothes on, made his way back to his own room down the corridor and quickly passed out on his bed.

Daniel spent the next ten days exploring as much of Tokyo as he could, rising early every morning and hitting the streets with a plan for the day already set out. On the first day he visited the Tokyo Skytree and looked out over the beautiful city that stretched as far as the eye could see. Over the next few days he attended the Budokan to watch sumo wrestling, went to the famous Shibuya crossing, took in the Samurai Ninja Museum and a list of countless other activities too lengthy to go over here. He would go to bed every night exhausted but satisfied, Candy always entering his mind before he drifted off to sleep, ready to start all over again the next day.

His time in the land of the rising sun flew by and Daniel decided that he would keep his last day in Japan relatively free so that he could relax ahead of his flight to Thailand that afternoon. He took one final trip to the nearby convenience store that he had visited on his first day in the country to get some supplies and then called his Mum to let her know how he was doing. They talked for a few minutes but Daniel felt a little suspicious when he hung up. He could have sworn that he had heard another female voice in the background when she had answered and she just generally seemed a little off with him. It was curious, but Daniel reasoned that it was probably nothing to worry about as he tossed his phone onto the bed and returned to packing his suitcase for his upcoming trip.

The flight to Bangkok was going to take around seven and a half hours, mercifully shorter than Daniel's initial trip to the far east, which had been pretty brutal. Upon boarding the plane he couldn't help but look around for Luna, but of course she wasn't on this flight. He'd known that the odds were insanely low, but he had still held out a little hope to see her again. They'd kept in touch with occasional text messages since their high altitude escapades and it seemed they would remain friends moving forwards but only fate would tell whether their paths would cross again. He certainly hopes that they would.

He landed in Thailand after a largely uneventful flight and Daniel made his way through the airport with his fellow passengers before hopping in a taxi and heading straight to his hotel, crashing out in his room after a long day of travel. Upon waking the next day he called Candy and messaged Louise to let them know he'd arrived safely in Bangkok before starting his adventure in a new and exotic land.

It was somehow even hotter in Bangkok than it had been in Tokyo and Daniel had to be careful in the sun, slathering himself in sun tan cream at regular intervals, keeping well hydrated and dipping into the shade whenever he could to protect himself from the harsh rays. On his first full day in the country he decided to get something to eat from the hotel's restaurant and met some fellow Brits around his age that were also on holiday. It was a group of five guys and three girls who had all attended the same University together and were now celebrating finishing their studies before heading out into the big wide world to look for work. They were all very friendly and Daniel was quickly invited to join them on their travels around the city, which he gladly accepted and together they headed into the Patpong district of the city. It was famous for being a red light district that catered primarily to tourists and everywhere you looked there were escorts offering their wares to any passing men that might be interested. It was quite a stark difference to what Daniel was used to and at one point he got swarmed by a group of them before one of the other guys in the group pulled him free. The women were all pulling at his clothes and promising pleasure beyond his wildest dreams and while it was tempting, Daniel decided he would rather stay with his new friends.

In addition to all the adult activities on offer there was also a bustling night market in the area where the group all picked up some food before heading out into the various bars and clubs for some drinking and dancing. Shortly before the club closed at two in the morning Daniel kissed one of the girls he had met under the spinning disco ball, twinkly lights spinning around the room and making it seem magical. She was a sweet girl from Oxford with fiery ginger hair and a slender frame that Daniel managed to get a feel of before they turned in for the night. She asked if he wanted her to keep him company through the night, but he ultimately turned her down. It had been nice having some friendly faces while he got used to his surroundings, but after his earlier exploits in Japan and with his journey home rapidly approaching he decided to focus more on his own exploration for the rest of his stay. He did bump into the group a couple more times before he travelled back to England, but he preferred being on his own for the most part. Every time he saw that girl again she kept her distance, flashing him longing looks that made it very clear she was harbouring quite the crush. Daniel felt bad, she seemed sweet and he could very easily have a whirlwind holiday romance with her, but he sensed that she was looking for more. He also couldn't deny that part of him wanted to save himself for when he was reunited with Candy, a moment that was getting closer and closer with each passing day.

Over the next few days he went on a tour of the Ayutthaya Temples, took a boat ride through one of the city's floating markets and even got his feet massaged right in the middle of the street! On Daniel's last night in Bangkok he managed to secure tickets to a Muay Thai boxing event, watching the young, fit, muscular men of Thailand battling it out in primal combat as the watching audience roared and cheered, fuelled by bloodlust. The physicality of their bodies and the dedication to their craft was admirable and Daniel watched every strike with great interest as he enjoyed a few bottles of beer to toast what had been an incredible trip. He felt his own primal urges rising within him as he watched, the image of his mother floating into his mind as he thought about how long it had been since they had been together. He'd had an incredible time on his travels and he would remember it for the rest of his life, but he knew he was ready to go home and more importantly, to get back to Candy. He had been feeling homesick for the last couple of days in Bangkok and so as he lay in bed that night, thinking about his travel home, he fell asleep with a smile on his face.

The next morning he was up bright and early to get back on an airplane for the long, long flight back home. He was still a little hungover from the night before so Daniel spent the first portion of the journey sleeping, waking up with a crick in his neck due to snoozing in a strange position. His row was empty for the return flight and so it felt lonely, especially after enjoying the company of both Luna and Shantelle on his outbound journey. After flying for hours now here he was, standing at the luggage carousel waiting for his baggage to appear. After what felt like forever he spotted his bag emerging from behind the plastic slatted screen and was finally reunited with his belongings. With a tired body and mind Daniel hopped on the tube to get to Euston train station and after getting something to eat and drink he boarded a train that would transport him back to his mother's warm, loving arms.

He'd been travelling for almost twenty four hours straight at this point and ended up passing out in his seat on the train, snoring loudly as those around him did their best not to laugh at the clearly exhausted young man's loud nocturnal snoozing. Fortunately for Daniel his destination was the final stop and despite being dead asleep he was woken up by a kindly fellow passenger before they disembarked. He was tired, groggy and confused as he regained consciousness but he managed to slowly gather his things and step out onto the platform, looking around and blinking as his eyes adjusted to the late afternoon sunlight. Candy wasn't there to greet him, but he knew that would be the case as he had planned on surprising her. He'd fibbed about his return flights and so his Mum wouldn't be expecting him until tomorrow. He smiled to himself as he pictured the look on her face when she realised he was home as he pulled his heavy suitcase along behind him and out of the station. It wasn't much of a walk to Candy's, but in his current exhausted state, he just couldn't face it. Raising an arm he hailed a taxi, the driver helping Daniel load his case into the boot before they set off to his final destination.

Daniel's tummy was filled with butterflies as he looked out of the taxi's window, taking in the local landmarks as he got closer and closer to Candy after over three weeks away from the woman he loved. After what felt like forever the estate car pulled up outside that familiar PVC door and Daniel just stared at it blankly for a few moments, prompting the driver to speak as he turned to look at his young passenger.

"You alright mate?" he asked with a quizzical look on his face.

"Yeah, sorry, I'm fine, long trip" Daniel explained with an apologetic smile, reaching into his pocket for his wallet so that he could pay for the ride.

Two minutes later Daniel was alone, standing on the pavement, suitcase beside him as he stood outside Candy's house. He was almost giddy with excitement at this point, a rising desire taking over him as he reached out to rap on the door three times with his knuckles, waiting for his Mum to open the door anxiously.

"OH MY GOD!" Candy screamed after opening the door and staring at him for a couple of seconds, as if not believing that her baby boy was standing before her. She lunged forwards, wrapping her arms around Daniel and covering his face in kisses as she cooed and sighed with blissful satisfaction. She wanted to make out with him so badly, but she was still aware enough to remember that the entire street could see them from here and so instead quickly pulled him into the house, suitcase dragging behind him before she slammed the door behind them. Finally alone, Candy pressed her lips to Daniels, breasts pressing into his chest, hands rubbing his back sensually as they made out against the door like two horny teenagers that hadn't seen each other in months. It was hot, heavy and uninhibited, tongues grappling with each other as they pulled and pawed at each other's clothes. It was clear where things were heading when the sound of a voice being cleared from the direction of the kitchen interrupted them.

"Hey Daniel, welcome home!" Louise said excitedly from across the room once the lovebirds looked over at her, Daniel's jaw dropping in shock as his best friend smiled back at him.

"I guess you guys had a surprise for me too," he said after he picked his jaw up from the floor, releasing his Mum in order to cuddle Louise close to him once she had crossed the room to join them, kissing her on the forehead as they enjoyed the feeling of their bodies pressed together for the first time in far too long. "How long have you been here for?" Daniel asked as he rubbed his eyes, partly from exhaustion and partially in disbelief that she was there.

"A few days," Lousie explained. "Me and your Mum have been hanging out, reading, just getting to know each other better." Daniel glanced over at Candy who's cheeks were flushed red, although he was unsure why. He decided to ignore it for now, pulling his Mum to him so that he had one girl on each arm, squeezing them both and kissing them both softly on the forehead.

"What a great homecoming present," he said happily as he held them tight, "my two favourite girls in the world under one roof!"

The women both giggled girlishly at his compliment, holding him close as they reflected on how much they had missed him while he was away. "Take a seat!" Candy offered, leading both of her young guests towards the sofa so they could get comfortable, "you must be tired after all that travelling!"

"You've got that right," Daniel replied, "I feel like I could sleep for a week straight!"

Once they were all settled together on the sofa things were a little cramped but that didn't stop the questioning, Candy and Louise asking everything they could think of about his trip away. At first it was the normal inquiries you would expect, food he had enjoyed, tourist spots he had been to and the like, but quickly things turned to his adult exploits. He told them both about his experiences with Luna and Shantelle as they listened intently, an occasional eyelash flutter or lip bite indicating when they found a part of his story particularly arousung. It felt a little strange telling his first lover and the woman he loved more than anyone else about sleeping with other women, but he knew they both were fine with it and actively wanted to hear what he had been up to during his time away. Once he finished regaling them with details of his x-rated exploits there was an undeniable tension in the room with Candy and Daniel barely able to keep their eyes, or hands, off each other as Daniel let out a long, loud yawn, stretching widely as he did his best to stave off the fatigue that was plaguing him.
