"I am tired of your jealousies and demands. I'm sick of it, you hear?" I continued to stuff my things into my suitcase. "And where would you go Bobbie?" Clem sneered. "It's a long way from Ramstein to Dubuque." Clem always held that over me. I had moved to be with him almost a year ago, and when I was safely trapped in Germany he became more demanding. He had completely changed our relationship, and tried continually to assert his dominance. He thought me stuck. He thought wrong. "Jeff said I could stay with him," I spat at him. I was furious, but my mood brightened considerably when I saw that his haughty attitude disappeared. "Jeff? My buddy from the depot?" Clem seemed confused. The balance had shifted and he was now struggling. I continued packing my things. "C'mon baby," he said, cajoling me now that I was in the stronger position. I stopped and looked at him. "What?!" I asked. "You gonna change your tune now that I am able to leave?" He walked over and took my hands, "Baby, you know I love you..." he said. I ripped my hands from his grasp. "You say you love me," I countered, "but I don't know if I love you." That blow struck him hard, and I smiled inwardly. "You are not the man I fell in love with. You've changed ever since I came here." "Changed?" he queried, "How?" "Well, for one thing," I began, "we used to go out and have fun. You used to let me have fun by myself. But now you are a sorry sack of shit who wants to stay home all the time. That's all right for you, but you also make sure I don't go out. Its like you want to own me." I began packing again. He looked at me, a hurt little boy. Asshole. "You used to like me being possessive," he whined. "You liked me jealous." "I liked that you wanted me, desired me. I never said I wanted you to keep me like a pet in a cage." I glared at him. "There is a big difference." "So now you're gonna walk out, just like that?" Clem asked. "You're not even going to let me try to change?" I stopped and just looked at him. "I don't think you can change," I said truthfully. "You are rigid as hell. That's OK for Lieutenant, but it sucks in a boyfriend with too much testosterone." He sat down, watching blankly as I finished packing. I saw that he was near tears, and again I felt happy inside. However, when he lowered his head into his hands and sniffled, I began to feel bad myself. Maybe Clem deserved another chance. "Clem," I said, crossing over to kneel next to his chair. "I wish we could work it out, because I loved the old Clem. But since your promotion and my moving over here, you haven't been the same." He looked up at me, his eyes moist. "Bobbie, what can I do to win you back?" "You can stop ordering me around like I'm a fucking soldier," I said. "You can take me out some evenings. We can start having fun again." "I know I've been a prick," he said quietly. "I can't help it. I just love you so much and I fear losing you. It was OK in Dubuque, but there are so many men around now, and all of them would be crazy to not want you. You might even want some of them too," he said. "I get so jealous, because I don't want to lose you." "But you are pushing me away," I explained. "The harder you hold on, the more I want to escape." I felt smothered, locked up. I couldn't do what I really loved, and that made our relationship unacceptable. I told him that, and more. We talked until nearly morning, and finally feel asleep holding each other. I woke up in the morning with Clem casually stroking my pussy. I was wet, I knew, and his fingers sliding my juices over my clit made it a very nice way to wake up. When Clem went down and brought me to orgasm I was reminded about why I had liked him. Recently, he had asserted his dominance by driving his cock in and out of me, instead of tonguing me like I enjoyed. Maybe the old Clem, the oral Clem concerned with my satisfaction, was re-emerging. The next week was wonderful. It was like watching a onion being peeled, as layer after layer of BS behaviors were removed and the old Clem was revealed. It culminated with a date on Saturday night. We went to the BOC for the Saturday night dance. I wore an old dress that had been gathering dust since I moved to Germany. It was cut to mid thigh and was sleeveless. My bare legs were smooth and tanned (unlike many of the local women), and I wore my highest heels so I knew my legs were very nice. I felt lots of eyes on me when we entered the club, and I whispered to him "doesn't it make you feel good that so many men are envious of you?" "I guess," he replied noncommittally. I could tell he was holding back some sort of upset, and I decided to make public outings so fun for him that he couldn't stand it. I directed us to a booth, and sat next to him on the inside to let him feel protective. A waiter came by to take a drink order. I grabbed his hand as we waited for the drinks, then urged him towards my bare thigh. He has always liked my firm legs, and soon he was rubbing his hand up and down. I saw the waiter returning, and put my hand over his, seeming to just be caressing. When the waiter arrived at our table, Clem started to pull his hand out. I shifted and gripped his wrist, keeping his hand there. Clem froze, like he was scared shitless. He hemmed and hawed a thank you to the waiter, who was too busy to notice anything. "Jesus!" Clem gasped when the waiter was out of hearing. "What the hell were you doing Bobbie?" he asked. "I was having fun," I pouted. I knew he liked a little pout. I have very nice full lips and my pout is pretty. "Do I need to remind you to loosen up, again?" I asked sweetly, although he saw the look I gave him was not quite sweet. "No, but just remember I work with these people, and some of them are my superiors," he said, blushing. I released his hand, and after a minute he began rubbing my leg again. We danced a little, slow dances mostly. I pressed my body against him, as we danced, murmuring about how nice it was to feel so secure that we were a couple again. During a "moonlight dance," where they pretty much turn off the lights, I kissed him passionately. I wanted him to know that while I disliked his blatantly possessing me, I was his and he needn't fear that. Around midnight, a very drunk Jeff came in with a date. His date was pretty enough, but she was a local girl. Frankly, I am much better looking than she was. I wasn't surprised that he cut in while Clem and I danced, pushing his date into Clem's arms. Jeff and Clem were buddies, so Clem let him get away with it. I decided to let him get away with more. His hands were everywhere, and I let him roam. I didn't stop him when he kissed my neck, slurring phrases like "its too bad you stayed with Clem" and "I could have shown you a real good time." I just giggled a little, even when his clumsy hands undid my bra strap through my dress. Fact is, I like being slutty and the very obvious attention was turning me on. Finally, I told him I had to go to the potty, and led him to the WC. I saw Clem watching us go, frowning and ignoring the pawing the German girl was giving him. When Jeff and I got to the pay phone outside the loo, I stopped him and turned us so that he was in the cul-de-sac and I had an escape route. I reached in my dress top, and removed my bra as Jeff watched spellbound. It was like that old movie Flashdance. He couldn't believe it. I tossed him my lacy bra, and as he looked down, amazed, I turned away and bent over. Quickly, I pulled off my panties, while I heard him gasp. Walking to the stunned Jeff, I gave him a quick smack on the lips. I stuffed my panties into his mouth, juicy side first, then gave his bulge a nice quick squeeze. Turning, I walked quickly to Clem, grabbed his hand (to his great relief), and we exited the building. Clem started to walk us to his car, but I pulled him into the shadows. I started to kiss him hard, then took his hands and placed them on my butt. I pulled up my skirt, and felt the sharp intake of breath as he realized he was touching skin! I felt so damn slutty! I pressed him against the building, and was never so pleased when he moved his hand to the front and fingered me. It took just a moment of his fingers on my clit before I came all over his hand. I think he was in shock at how suddenly he had stinky fingers! It was time to prove he was mine again. I dropped to my knees, aware of the pebbles being pressed into them. I didn't care! I unzipped his pants, and gave Clem his first public blowjob. He came nearly as quickly as I did, filling my mouth with hot squirt after hot squirt. I continued sucking him, covering his cock with his own sperm, then licking it off. He kept muttering "Bobbie... Bobbie" over and over while I cleaned his pecker. Soon, we were back at his quarters, fucking like bunnies while I remained clothed. I felt so totally hot, riding him like a horse, bouncing up and down in my street clothes. Before we came, I climbed off and we 69'd. I sucked my pussy flavor off his cock, while he tongued my open and flowing hole. I then rode him again, pulling my dress over my head to his appreciative whistle. "Oh God Bobbie," he panted. "You are so sexy!" "Hold still," I panted, settling him deep inside me. "Pinch my nipples," I moaned, rubbing my clit while he did. I felt so good, having his cock filling me, his hands on me, his eyes lit up with such desire. I came, feeling my entire lower torso clenching. "Cum Clem," I panted, the waves of pleasure overtaking me. I didn't feel it, but I knew by his face that he was filling me with cum. Afterwards, I laid on my side with a leg stretched over him, feeling my pussy leaking his seed. I needed to be fucked again. I was still not done. I reached down, and wet my finger with our combined juices, then I ran it over his nipple until it began harden. My full lips suckled him while I savored the flavor. He groaned, telling me he loved me but that he wasn't sure he could get it up again so soon. I was unwilling to let it go at that, and kept trying. I scooped out three fingers of cream, and wiped it on his pecker. Then I went down and cleaned him off again. "Oh shit, Bobbie," he moaned, his dick growing ever so much. "I can't believe your eating our fuckjuices..." he explained. "I love them," I told him. "They taste so gooooooddd!" I took his entire flaccid dick in my mouth, nursing at him. "It's so nasty," he panted. There was an odd ring to his voice, like he loved the fact they were 'nasty'. I felt myself wetten at a certain thought I had. "They taste so good," I repeated, reaching down to gather some more. This went on his nipple again, and it tasted great when I nibbled and pulled at his little male bump. It hardened between my lips. The little slut liked it! I kissed up again, stopping at his neck. I coated my finger, and wet his Adam's apple with them, licking off the tangy flavor. His five o'clock shadow felt bristly, delightfully masculine. I felt so fucking feminine! Especially as I realized how wet I felt. I was leaking cum, but I was getting juicier by the minute! It was time to try it. I reached down and coated my index finger. Looking him in the eye, I traced around his lips with the creampie. He looked like he was both shocked and horribly aroused. I kissed him wetly, knowing his was tasting the goo with the kiss. I felt him moan from his deepest soul. I knew I had stumbled onto a secret fantasy of his, and wondered how far it went. I reached down again, finger fucking myself with two fingers, desperately searching for the slime. Then I fed them to him, and he sucked them like a piglet on a sow. He was hungry for it. When his eyes opened, they were mad with lust. "Do you like it Clem?" I asked. "Yes," he croaked, tonguing the last morsel from my fingers. "How much?" I asked, intensely curious. Clem had surprised me tonite as much as I had surprised him. "Feel," he panted, glancing down. A quick look confirmed he had a raging hard on! We fucked for forty-five minutes, each of us pointing out how sloppy I was inside. I loved the thought of his cock being bathed in cum. He loved it too, and he whispered a secret fantasy he had of being last at a gangbang. It was a fantasy from his youth, when he had stumbled onto a porn film. He had carried guilt since then, but also a desire that was finally being unleashed. My cunt was sore from the unaccustomed hard fucking, but I loved it. Finally, with a deep shriek, he came again inside me. It was a primal orgasm, the kind you wait years for. This time I fancied I could feel him splashing his load into me. The thought made me hot as well. I hadn't cum in thirty minutes, and needed to. I turned to suck his cock, hoping that the flavor of the creampie, the nastiness, and the full mouth would make me cum. Clem surprised the hell out of me, by pulling me into a 69. "Let me eat it!" he groaned as he pulled my hips down and fastened his mouth over my oozing pussy. I was so surprised that I just came and came. His tongue, always an excellent tool, slobbered over me and removed the soreness from my sex, while probing for cum. Good God! I think I passed out with pleasure. I was next conscious of Clem licking my entire dirty pussy clean of cum and my juices and the mixture. It was like heaven after the screwing we did. I decided I liked it quite a lot. The next Friday night was essentially a repeat of the same thing, but it was at an off-base club. One of Clem's lech friends came on to me, and I led him on. This time though, I wore a stretch dress so when I took off my bra and panties you could see my breasts very clearly. My nipples have very dark areolae, and they were obvious, especially with my nipples sticking out so far they hurt. Clem though, was prepared this time and took me to the dance floor first. It was a popular slow song, and he took advantage of the crowd to lift my dress and rub my bare ass in public. I could feel my pussy juices running down my inside thighs, and thought the heads turning to look could see it. I was pinched many times, and I felt a long female fingernail slide up between my cheeks to tickle my backdoor. I about came on the dance floor! Clem held me tight, and I could feel his arousal pressing against me. I felt like such a tramp. It was awesome! I barely got my lips around Clem's head before he blew his wad into my mouth. We were not even out of the parking lot! As Clem came, he stopped the car (thank God!). I lifted off him and pressed my tongue into his mouth. I shoved his sperm back into his mouth, right there in the club's parking lot. We sped home, me leaning against the door so I could show him my pussy as I masturbated. This time, it was Clem who made the move to clean my flowing hole after a rousing fuck. I cooed at him encouragingly, mostly because it felt so good. I ran my hands over his bristly short hair, and worked myself up to a nice hard cum. I think I pussy burped on his face! At least there was plenty of goo to lick off when he came up smiling to kiss me. Saturday night we went to a small porn theatre. We were both feeling hot, and by agreement I left my undies in the car. It was crowded, and an American sat next to me. He became aware that I was fondling Clem, who was watching the movie with rapt attention. I opened and closed my legs, working my skirt higher and higher until it was obvious I wasn't wearing underwear. Clem continued to stare at the screen, pretending not to notice what was going on. This seemed to imply the man had permission to touch me. I started when I felt his hand sliding over my thigh. I was so scared and aroused at the same time. I unzipped Clem's fly even as I spread my thighs apart to give the guy access. His fingers wasted no time in moving to my pussy, which was fine with me! I looked at the guy, and he turned to look me in the eyes. Wow. He leaned over and pressed his lips to mine, flipping his finger over my hard clitoris. I sat back, enjoying it, opening closing my thighs on this stranger's fingers. It was so friggin' naughty! When I looked at him again, I saw him glance at his own lap. His cock was out! Covered by a condom, but it was out! Daringly, I reached over and gripped his member. I was jacking off two guys in a porn theatre! I felt a hand on my cheek, and Clem turned my face to his. I drew near, and he mouthed "I love you Bobbie." Wow! I felt so fucking free! I kissed him as I felt both men begin to pump my fists. The stranger was really aroused. He was leaking precum like crazy, and his condom was sliding up and down like a sloppy rubber pussy. He grunted a couple times, quietly but loud enough for a couple guys in front of us to become aware something was going on. You can imagine how hot I felt then, being fingered and jacking off Clem and this stranger while being watched by two other strangers. One of them reached down and I knew he was whacking off too. The stranger came first, pulling my mouth to his. He gasped his orgasm into my mouth, his eyes wild as he spurted into the receptacle end. Then he slumped down, his adrenaline giving out. Me, I was never hornier. Throwing caution to the wind, I moved over and sat on Clem's lap. His cock slid home, and it was my turn to gasp. Clem reached around and fingered me while I bounced up and down, seeking a nice hump. One of the guys watching whispered "let me see your tits". I reached down and pulled my dress up over my head, baring it all to anyone who cared to watch. I'll say now that for many men, the movie was ignored. Clem came before I did, but his gasping out my name over and over took me there. He gasped it, and it became a chant for the other guys, who urged "cum Bobbie, cum for us". Holy shit! I just about fainted after cumming, but revived when one of the guys waved his cock and pleaded for relief. He came fast, and after he did, I turned to snowball a shocked Clem. As I turned, I slipped on the cream that had dripped from my pussy onto the floor. I went down, cracking a knee on the seat. I about choked then on the cum in my mouth, but managed to force Clem to take it all. He whimpered a little, but the slut loved it. My knee really began to hurt. I struggled to pull my dress back on and then limped out quickly with Clem. Going home, we fucked like bunnies. At Clem's request, we 69'd afterwards so I could smother him with my gooey pussy. The next morning, I could barely walk. The other damage we discovered was to Clem's pants. When I lifted off, my pussy was overflowing with my juices and his. We stained his slacks. Oh well. Nastier was the seat to his car, which would forever have a dark stain on it from oozing creampie. We didn't go out much for the next month, because my knee hurt like hell. Instead, we watched a lot of porn videos, taking turns describing them as the other gave oral sex. It seemed that other than my knee injury, our new sex life was as good as it could get. Wrong. I started getting calls from Jeff, who wanted to know if I was a tease or what. I was indignant, telling him Clem could vouch for me. "So, if you aren't a tease, let me fuck you," Jeff said. I told Clem about it, and Clem turned all shades of red. It seems that he couldn't be content with just screwing me, but had bragged about our adventures to Jeff and others. I was pissed! I hated being the butt of gossip, and I determined that I would show Clem. Jeff was my first outing. Actually, he was an "ining", in that he came over an hour before Clem came home from work. I met him at the door, totally nude. His eyes popped, and my worries disappeared. Jeff was naked two minutes later, and a minute after that his condom- sheated cock split my lips and pressed into my pussy. Despite his bawdy talk, Jeff was a considerate lover. He stopped midway to eat me, lathering up my pussy with his tongue. It felt mighty good, and his oral took me pretty close to orgasm. When he pushed back into me, I was on the verge of cumming. He kept pushing in and out of my clenching pussy, bringing stars to my eyes. I guess that felt mighty good to him too, because he began to cum and cum. He laid on top of me, and kissed me tenderly as he softened. When he went to pull out, his shriveled dick pulled out of the condom. The damn rubber was still inside me, with just the opening hanging out and dripping cream. "Leave it," I told Jeff, thinking of the nasty surprise I'd give Clem. I cleaned his cum-covered pecker, and shooed him out the door. Ten minutes later, Clem came home to find me laying nude on the bed. I was carefully massaging my clit, which was hard and throbbing with need. Clem's jaw went slack as he saw my red, freshly fucked pussy with the condom hanging out. I could tell he was trying to decide whether to be aroused or furious. "Fuck it," he said, and he crawled onto the bed and began kissing around my pussy. He was avoiding the obvious, I knew. I pulled the steaming condom out, and told him to suck my juices off. He whimpered a little as he did, feeling the squishy bag of goo in his mouth. With a smile, I upended it over my pussy, and poured the contents over my clit and through my lips. Then I told him to "clean my pussy," and he did. I was so aroused I could barely speak. My boyfriend was cleaning another man's sperm from my pussy! He was moaning like crazy... he was loving it! I had a sperm-sucking boyfriend! I came with a gasp, and while I did Clem pulled down his pants and pushed into me. I was tender and getting fucked wasn't physically appealing, but Clem needed my pussy... needed to feel secure in me. He needed to cum and that made it so worth while. Especially since after dumping his load he slid down to lovingly bathe my pussy in saliva. It was heaven! Our relationship permanently changed after that. Jeff would call and inquire if I were free at certain times. I'd make Clem stay away for the agreed time, and then he'd come home to find a condom in me. Once, he found a condom in both my pussy and my ass. Clem shot in his pants at that. Once, Jeff called late at night, asking if I could come to his house for a little house call. I discussed it with Clem, who was nervous for me and worried for me. He was also excited, so he offered to drive me and wait in the car. We left the house, me wearing nothing but a raincoat and heels. Clem didn't know who I was seeing, and he was agitated to learn it was Jeff. Jeff had been describing to Clem his exploits with a new tramp, and now Clem knew I was the tramp. Clem was more surprised to see several vehicles in Jeff's driveway. It was a party. I think he was about to change his mind, and I offered to not go in. To my great surprise, Clem decided I had better make sure Jeff was taken care of. When I knocked on the door, Jeff waved at Clem. Clem about shit his pants, I'm sure. Then Jeff explained that it was Clem's superior officer's bachelor party, but that the 'dancer' hadn't shown. Would I do it? I did, even though I didn't have much to strip off. My 'act' consisted of pulling off the robe and letting Clem's coworkers fondle me. It got out of hand when Jeff pulled a condom out and offered Captain Wallace, Clem's boss, the use of my 'fuckhole'. Captain Wallace was drunk as hell, so it took a while for him to cum. In the meantime, most of the guys took turns at my mouth. At my urging, they sprayed me when they came. My body, hair, and especially my face was covered with cum. What a slut I was! Finally, Captain Wallace came inside the condom. I pulled it off and tied the end to preserve the contents. Then I got on all fours to clean Captain Wallace's dick. He was laying on his back, groaning. Jeff took the opportunity to put his sheathed dick inside me. By the time I left, I had four trophy condoms and one sore pussy. I matter-of-factly told Clem he was going to eat the leftovers, but that he had better put the idea of fucking right out of his mind. No big deal. Clem came hard when I poured the contents of three condoms over my pussy. I came after I untied Captain Wallace's condom and told Clem to drink it. The sight of Clem's erection did it for me. He was eating his bosses' sperm, and loving it! (Of course, he might not have loved it so much if he knew it was his bosses'.) The next day we attended the wedding, and I about cracked up when Captain Wallace greeted us in the reception line, not able to place me. Kissing him chastely on the cheek, I whispered "I had fun last night, lover" into his ear. He blanched first, then got a sly grin on his face. "Clem--Lieutenant--come to my office when I get back from my honeymoon, and we'll discuss how we can get you promoted." I got wet when he winked at me! A few hours later, everyone was ripped. Clem was enjoying himself when I sat next to him and stealthily guided his hand to my crotch. I smiled as he felt the sticky goo leaking from my box. He lifted his fingers to his lips, tasting the creamy load leaking from me. "Is that cream?" he whispered. I nodded. "You let a guy cum inside you?" he wanted to know. I had decided it was about time. "Can you get another one up there and then we can go home?" Happily, Jeff was available to get sloppy seconds, adding his jism to the stranger I had let fuck me. He described it as fucking pudding, I was so wet inside. I smiled, knowing Clem would be pleased. Clem in fact added a third big load to my canal, then lowered his face to my pussy. It felt marvelous to drain and be eating at the same time. I loved it like this. I loved Clem more than anything for giving me this gift. I came while sitting astride his face, letting gravity assist while I jacked him to his second orgasm. I knew he ate a huge load of cream, and I knew he adored me for it. I was so happy, so content with our life. It couldn't get better. Wrong. It was not more than three minutes later that I got even happier. "Call me a romantic," Clem said, nuzzling into my neck, "but weddings always make me think." My pulse stopped. "This one made me think maybe we should get married. What do you think Bobbie?" **** THE END **** As always, comments appreciated to creampiestories@yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
