MARINAH 002

BY ALLA



16:53pm 11-13-1998

Half an hour later, Marinah cruised back to her penthouse. She had

told the pig driver to drop her at the gate and walked the short length of

the covered path, past the security to the elevator. The guard looked up at

her and then at the wall clock.

"Miss Marinah, there are five calls for you. Would you like to

receive them or .........."

"Thank you, Hashim, I will return their calls tomorrow morning."



"Yes ma'am," Hashim handed to her the list of numbers.

She scanned the five numbers, all familiar except one. Who the fuck

is this? Nobody has her penthouse number without her knowledge. Someone who

has her number must have given her number to this fifth person.

She waited at the stainless steel elevator door and noticed a

group of boys swimming at the pool, looking in her direction. A couple

was courting at the cement long chair oblivious of the cold hard cement.

She smiled the ironic thought: the rich becomes richer and the poor

becomes poorer.Marinah knew these two yuppies well. They sold their

house in Kepong and moved with his parents to this upper class area.

For the sake of prestige, they labored on limited living and fucking

space. But they are good couple, polite, friendly and helpful never

interfering into the neighbours, a culture quite unusual for Malaysians.

Marinah wondered why the lift took a few more seconds to move down.

When the door opened, she stepped in.



The mercedes slowly moved off in the dark.

Marinah stepped out and went to the security house.

"Hashim, can you tell me who, pointing to the last telephone number, this

caller............."



Marinah turned to see the lift crashing down from the top floor

to the sub-basement with a deafening roar of steel plates, cables and

cement blocks. The alarm bells together with the screams from the

neighbouring residents was chaotic.

"Call the police and ambulance" said Marinah and calmly walked back

and reached her penthouse by the goods lift. There were screams and people

rushing to the sub basement. Some were trying to pry open the door saying,

"Miss Marinah is inside"

Marinah opened the door and stepped in. She saw a man looking

down at the chaos twenty storeys below and smiled.

"Waited long, Icy?"

"Yea, one hour. You are going to pay for this," still looking

at the scene below.

Marinah laughed. "Lets have supper," kicking the valise to the

corner with the umbrella and walked over to join Icy at the window. Marinah

noticed tonight she was taller than Icy. She laughed again and began to

take off her thigh high boots.

"Leave them on, baby, you know I have that strange weakness for

slim legs and high boots"

"Yea, without them , you are already weak enough. And with them

you would be comatose " and both roared in laughter.

Marinah walked over to Icy at the window and he gave her a long

wet kiss. She leaned back on his chest and he rested his chin on her

shoulder. He glided his hand to her breast and she moved her hand to his

groin. Both turned to watch the scene below and both felt at home.

The ambulance moved off with someone on a stretcher. Marinah noticed

a man trying to open the back door but the ambulance quickly left with

siren wailing and red lights flashing.

"Lets eat, I am famished. Are you not hungry?"

"I could eat your boots!"

And both roared again.

Icy is a great chef of chinese cuisine. He came into the penthouse

at 10.00 pm and started cooking. He opened the fridge, took out the meat,

chicken, and vegetables.

Hm........ where is the wok? This chinaman cannot cook without a

wok.

Within minutes he found the wok sitting upside down on top of the

bust of Beethoven next to the piano. Beethoven looked like a British

soldier of the Second World War except for the chin strap. This Marinah has

strange sense of humor.



Self trained cooking produced un-orthodox cooks. No recipes, no

weighing or measures produced shocking cuisines. Icy cooked on what was

available and made the best dishes of them. Icy saw the granite mortar

and pestle at the bottom shelf and smiled. He had convinced Marinah that

no doubt the mortar added a lot of personal touch to the spicy

sambal-balachan (grounded chillies with salted prawns), the pounding gives

severe headache to the floors adjacent and below. LOL LOL.

"Try this: 2 fistfuls of dried chilli, 1 cup of prawn paste, 3

fistfuls of dried prawns, a touch of white garlics, a bit of sugar,

a spoonful of ajinomoto, quarter cup vinegar, half cup salt and one cup

water. Put the whole lot in the liquidizer set at 3."

Marinah looked at him and demurred. "Wait till Meh (Mother) hears

this. This is crazy."

"Well, you pound your traditional sambal belacan and I do this.

Lets compare", as he washed an empty jam bottle at the sink.

He decanted and scrapped the product into the jam bottle while

Marinah was still pounding. He then washed the remaining product into

the wok and cooked a dish of fish and meat ball soup.



Marinah squatted up from the mortar and challenged:

"OK , lets compare"

Icy took a finger of her product while Marinah tasted the machine

made one. She closed her eyes, suddenly widened, and said,

" Ya lah, it tastes great. How is mine?", asked Marinah.

"Hmmm , good, but mine is better " and grinned.

"Asshole !!" and both roared in the kitchen.

Right, rice cooked, dishes made, cups, 2 plates prepared.....

a sound at the door. 10.30 pm. She cant be back that early. Icy looked

to the door and saw a shadow move past.

Icy stacked the 5 dishes on top of one another on the warm range,

switched off the kitchen lights, picked up the Rameraz and started

warming up on Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor, the libretto he just

downloaded from the internet while cooking supper. Hmm, this Vanessa Mae

is very good in her violin rendition of Bach. Now a guitar variation has

come up on the net and the room was filled with stataccos and rasquendos,

synchophant with "the violin player" rising out from the sea. Interesting.

Icy was about to download another piece of music from the net when

he felt the floor tremor and a loud roar at the sub basement. He walked to

the window and saw a crowd running towards the elevator door.

"Give me a minute to change and lets eat". Marinah stripped

into to a loose cotton baju kurong (a long sleeved buttonless shirt

extending to slightly below the knee).

Icy and Marinah brought the food to the dining table next to the

kitchen. Marinah poured the water while he ladled out the rice to the two

plates. The supper was eaten quietly and quickly, a culture inherited from

the Chinese. Do not talk with your mouth full. Tonight there was something

unusual with the spicy soup.

"What is it?", asked Marinah

"Huh? oh , a blade of lemon grass picked from the guard house and

one Hacks sweet. Since there is only one sweet. I might as well put it in

the soup to share amongst us".

Marinah smiled and said, "How thoughtful and romantic, chinaman.

Anyway your dishes taste different everyday" , and both laughed.

Supper finished and both leaned back in their chairs drinking their

water.

"How was your day, baby" asked Marinah

"Oh, nothing special, normal I guess. Mirabilis has come up with

its alpha module of icq99a and I am trying out the Compupic version 4.

Quite interesting but I think Bill Gates is making life tough for

everybody with his windows 98. I detected a few unusual signals from

Palapas and the decoder is working on them... challenging as the

signals are moving all the time. Is your satellite reception at

your office ok? I see NASA is beaming quite strongly at us, not

surprisingly, as Clinton is coming here for APEC next week"

"Yea, it took a few seconds longer for my hooking up to the sky

this morning and I thought it could be the La Nina effect."

"Oh yea, Ma, you could be right. I should take this into null point

analysis of the beaming too. I will have to set this parameter in my

tracking".

"Not now", said Marinah putting her hand on his arm.

"yep, time for dessert" and grinned.

Icy poured all the unfinished food into one pot, while Marinah

carried the dishes to the sink. Icy put the leftover in the fridge, wiped

the bit of sambal belacan from the edge of the table and went over to help

in the washing up, both of them looking over the kitchen window at the car

park, now filled with police and firemen, below.

"Looks like the neighborhood is going to have disturbed sleep

tonight", grinned Marinah.

"Yea," said Icy grimly and took out the decoder from Marinah's

pocket and punched a few numbers.

The main door was double locked. Transparent screens slided over

the main door, glass wall and windows: instant one way mirror from inside

out. The room telephone was muted to auto tape recorder receive.

Marinah poured a large tumbler of water and Icy's hand slided

up Marinah's groin exposing the renowned exquisite legs and thighs. She

felt warm and soft and floated with him to the giant size bean bag near the

window overlooking the swimming pools and entrance. More cars were coming

in and the building looked ablazed.

Both looked down at the coming and going, each thinking their own

different and same thoughts. Icy: who is the man trying to bugle into

the room? Marinah: who is the fifth caller?

Their thoughts were interrupted by a group of men in uniform

knocking at the door and left. A minute later the room telephone rang and

Marinah's taped voice came on: "I am sorry I am not able to answer your

call now. If you would leave your name, phone number and message I will

contact you as soon as possible . At the tone of the signal, please ............"

and the line was out.

The knock at the door startled Marinah and she nudged closer to

him. He comforted her with a closer hug while they watched the men
move off, followed by the telephone ringing in.

Icy held her closer and the warmth radiated to each other.

He traced her baju kurong from the knee up exposing the legendary legs.

He was aroused and she felt his penis swelling at her side. She glided

nearer him and pulled his sarong (a tubular piece of lion cloth, about

one meter long, worn from the waist to below the knee) down exposing

the throbbing dick. She knew that her legs would send him raging hard

just by moving them in front of him. She needed more than the sight

of the throbbing dick tonight.

He glided his hand down to her pussy, black hair shining in the

window light. Marinah pulled her baju kurong over her head, her breasts
jingled dazzling Icy and flopped down again naked on the bag. His

forefingers searched and located the lips. Her legs widened and his

fingers located the clit. She tensed and slowly gyrated her pelvis

in rhythm to his circling of the clit, his first finger and thumb

holding onto and massaging the clit while the second and third

finger encircling and stretching wide the lips in rhythm to each

pairs of fingers. Icy is the only man she knew who had mastered this art.



Feather touch of the clit with the following widening and

stretching of the labia is an art not easily mastered or practised.

She remembered one chap massaging of her clit like abrasive pinching and

the stretching of the labia like that of peeling of coconut hush. That got

her real pissed and the end of the love making.

She felt her joy juice oozing and he increased his tempo of

titillating vibrating on her clit and stretching on her lips heightening

her needs. He kept on the ritual and as her pussy became more

wet, he titillated faster and more easily on her joy box till she gasped

at each wave of stimulations and as she was about to come, he eased down

by pinching on the clit drawing the near extreme sensation to a near

interruption. This can continue for hours on end and she marvelled at his

digital dexterity. His classical guitar repoitoire is brought to the

full on her groin.

And he was equally stimulated as well. As he worked on her, her

pelvis rose, wiggled, fell and shivered in unison. As she was about

to reach orgasm her pelvis rose to maximum height with legs shivering

and widening uncontrollably like praying mantis in mortal combat. But he

will not let her reach orgasm. He suddenly clamped on her clitoris

and released the lip retractors. The pelvis fell back on the bean bag

with her legs kicked right out into a V into the air. Lo and behold,

what a magnificent sight and his penis hardened all the more in her hand.

Poor Marinah was so stimulated that she had no chance to

reciprocate him. She just held on to his dick which became harder

as she neared orgasm. In fact her clenching on his dick is a barometer

to him. As she neared orgasm, her fingers clenched hard on his dick and

at that particular instance , he applied the interruption and repeated

the process again, until she cannot stand it any more, her legs kicked

up outstretched in the air , then collapsed outstretched on the floor,

sweating and breathing heavily.

Icy stretched for the tumbler of water and Marinah shared a sip,

then fell back soft and warm on his chest. Her needed long regular

breathing excited him too. He saw her lying on her side holding onto

him breathing into him with her eyes closed. Her breasts lying on

each other brought out the best cleavage. As she breathed in, her

breasts rose and fell vibrating like bean curds to each other as she

exhaled.

He kissed her on the forehead. She smiled and snuggled deeper

into his chest. He held out her short black hair and felt the cool

air-conditioned air flowing past it. He held her neck and noticed

the sweat on the neck was slowly drying up.

This is a strange woman. She needed air, yet she snuggled

closer into the enclosed area of his chest. She was hot, yet she grabbed

him closer ---- to dissipate heat.

No! This is the sign and sequel to a satisfied love-making.

Love-making is not only physical but also mental. If it is mainly

physical, then it is mechanical. BDSM is usually countenanced as physical

but if this physical encounter can heighten both the physical and

mental goal of sexual orgasm, then BDSM is acceptable to this couple.

Suddenly, Marinah woke up, her eyes shining wide, her nose

flaring, grabbed Icy by the penis and said, " I want my dessert",

Icy grabbed her by her breasts and replied, " I want my pound of flesh".

Both roared and suddenly Icy flipped on one arm like a gympnast and

landed into a 69 on top of Marinah.

Icy grabbed and raised the muscular yet poetic butts and slided

both hands under to reach between the thighs. With both hands on the

labia, it was easier to expose the clit, glistening in the dark. He lowered

his head to lick the clit while Marinah grabbed his shaft and started

licking, pouting and sucking on the head. That is the most sensitive part

of his tool and she knew that. She rimmed and horned the head till it

changed from red to purple engorged with red hod blood, and as he jerked

with each of her blowjob sequence she noticed his dick had enlarged to

nearly twice the hardened size. This excited her and she continued all

the more on the target sending the poor man jerking up and down quivering

into her pouting mouth and beyond.

Marinah had nearly come 6 times earlier and her clit was now easily

excited and will come faster than before. Icy had to lengthen this process.

He glided the tip of his tongue onto the labia sweeping from the outer to

the inner, yet not touching the clit which quickly engorged and throbbing

into a mini penis.

He carved out from his fourth finger nail the bit of sambal belacan

he picked up from the table, to his thumbnail and spread it on her

clitoris, his tongue gliding all the time on the labia. The red hot chilli

paste worked.

She felt the heat, cold and irritation in her clit and yet she is

not sure. What is it? Her curiosity aroused her more and she wiggled

and tremored as he glided on the labia.

His tongue descended on the clit, resting on it. He tasted the hot

spicy chilli paste and lapped the clit with long slow sweeping licking

motion. She felt the heat as his tongue swept on and the cold as the tongue

lifted off. The hot-cold irritation excited her more and her clit enlarged

to the mysterious tongue. His tongue concentrated on the clit now. He

licked palpated and trembled his tongue on her clit as she wiggled, raised

her butts knee high, cunt oozing floods of juice. As she arched upwards he

licked more and more heavily on the clit. Her pelvic tremored

uncontrollably, jerking herself upwards more and more till she

arched herself backwards and upwards into a semi-circle, both legs

wide open on the feet and arms raised straight upwards from her palms

on the floor. Her mouth was full on his gland and she gurgled as

he swept deeper and longer into her clitoris.

Her whole torso shook as he continued sweeping hot and cold on

the clitoris. Her torso vibrated up and down as he licked, swept and

tantalized on the pulsating clit till she arched fully backwards on toes

and finger tips, her mouth anchoring on his gland. The sensation was

extreme and she arched highest on her toes and fingertips biting and

gurgling on his gland. He suddenly clamped his teeth lightly on the clit

and he came crashing down on her pussy with her thighs clamped tightly

on his head.



This ritual repeated for like eternity. He raised her pelvis

as she rose on her limbo rock standing on her toes and fingertips again

to crash down only to start all over again. Their sweaty bodies glistened

in the dark as both performed their ballet duet for each other. And at the

end of the second hour, her arched back and aching pussy could take it

no longer, she suddenly flipped her thighs on his shoulder and clamped

hard on his head.

With his tongue still in the pussy, he stood up holding

Marinah at the waist, her thighs clamped hard and her legs criss

crossed on the back of his head, and Marinah upside down clinging to

his waist and engulfing the monstrous dick.

He held her slippery waist and swung gently from left to

right like a mother holding her baby in lullaby. He lapped up the torrents

of juice pouring from the joy box down her waist, walked slowly and

rhythmically to the window with Marinah on his comforter.



He started again to torture the clit and this time the anus.

He licked, lashed, glided and slapped on the now rock hard pulsating

clit and when he sensed her coming, he flipped his tongue to the anus

interrupting one sensation to begin a totally new one at her anus.

At first she found it ticklish, wiggled her thighs hence shaking his head.

He grinned, blew some of her juice to the anus and began to lash the

clit again.

Her body began to tremble again and clamped her thighs tighter yet

wider on his head, her legs arched to the back of his neck and tossed

across to the back of his shoulders with her pussy wide open to his

merciless tongue. By then, he had inserted his left finger down her

ass while the tongue lashed the clit to near orgasm. She felt a rush of

blood to her face and felt his finger hitting her prostrate and he lashing

at her clit full orchestra on the clit. She felt dizzy yet the near

orgasm at her groin was unbelievable. She rocked her groin into and out

of his face. Suddenly she dropped her arms from his waist to the floor,

and moaned,



"adoi..........

.................adoi..........

............. ADOI.........

............. KOCHEH !!!!!!!!!! "

Icy quietly and slowly lifted Marinah higher upside down on his

shoulders and walked in slow motion to the bedroom, her exhausted and

aching body floating with him and her hands hardly dragging the carpeted

floor.

She saw the room moving upside down, the ceiling and the moon

below and his throbbing dick above. I must not pass out. Twenty more

seconds, and I'll be the first woman in Malaysia to get the Second Dan.

Thirty more throws, kicks and blows. Her left fourth finger was broken.

The pain was terrible. She saw the clock pointing one more second.

With one sweeping move, she floored two opponents, and then did the

impossible. She jumped up, did the reverse flying double kick, catching

the last two taller opponents by surprise, and sending their heads

crashing backwards to the wall. She saw the master and examiner look

at the stopwatch. She bowed to the examiner, walked to the door,

slided the partition, bowed again for the last time and closed the door.

"Heh heh, you did very well, 1 second ahead. Now, lets take a look

at the broken finger", said Icqman.

She fainted.

She woke up sitting upright and naked on her bed with Icy wiping

the sweat from her face.

Icy grinned and said,"People with low blood pressure, should not

make love upside down".

Marinah looked at him, "I want to finish my dessert. I just

got only one spoonful" and both grabbed each other and laughed.

Both lay on their backs on the large bed with a large overhead

mirror on the ceiling. Marinah had this mirror specially reinforced

lest it crash down again in the middle of their love making. They may not

be fortunate the second time.

Last year, they were banging rhythmically for hours below the

mirror.Icy had asked if she had installed a videocamera above.

"Shit, why should I view your video when I can have you life? !"

Anyway I don't believe Ian Flemming had James Bond's love making captured from

above. He would have only seen his ass"

"Yea, closeup digital fibreoptic videocam from the sides with

builtin sound would be more exotic and educational".

They left for the long bath and at that instance, they saw the

whole 600 lbs of Belgium non reflective glass crashing down onto the bed.

neatly incising the mattress to pieces. She imagined them split seconds

below the glass, and shivered into his arms for comfort.

This one above is the state of art technology. A made-to-order,

flat non-glass television screen eight by ten feet, weighing less than

100 lbs bolted on the Bosch mariner's compass platform and meters of

fine tungsten-titanium cables below forming a mesh one cm square.

Fibre optic digital atuofocus and sound capture cameras are embedded

in the 6 sides of the room making viewing, close up and replay from

all possible angles a breeze.



"Yeah, I like that", said Icy zooming the cameras to Marinah's

legs and up to her glistening pussy------ and what a view. Flashes of

legs sliding at real time to the screen above. Icy watched with mouth open

at the delicious legs and pussies and after a while held his neck and was

about to commend on neck pain, when Marinah flipped a switch and the

realtime movie is projected by the fibreoptic epidiascope onto the

vertical wall opposite, similar to the techniques in inflight movies.

"Oh yeah, neat , real neat" said Icy, eyes zooming into the

real legs and pussy.

Marindah knows if a compliment is and warmed her breasts to

this one on the bed with her now.



Icy held her right succulent breast in one hand and slowly his

tongue glided down to the left. He licked around the areola and

flipped his tongue on the nipple. Slowly the nipple hardened from

soft pink to hard brown. The heavy breathing increased as the

boob rose and fell at each lingual stimulation. Her left breast became

hot, turgid and throbbing. Suddenly she grabbed his head to her

right breast and began franctically kneading her left. Now on the

right breaat, Icy was able to see the gradual rising and falling

of the knees on the sheet. As he advanced on the sucking, titilated

by the tongue flicking, her leg movements became more frantic,

rising and falling irregularly, the thighs moved outwards lifting

the exquistic legs and kicking down on the sheet in sheer distress.

The distressed Marinah reached her left hand to her pussy and

started to violently massage her clit. This shocked Icy too.

In the past it was Icy fingering or licking on her clict. Here we

had an agitated hand violently spreading and kneading the labia punctuated

by the thumb and first finger rolling on the clit and plucking it far

upwards to suddenly releasing it. The clitoris slammed back and slowy

disappeared into the pussy; exactly similar to the coffee stall roti

chanai man kneading, spreading and thumbing on the oily fermented dough.

No wonder the girls on first time seeing the dough making in action,

stared at the execution of shocked similarity and quickly escaped

into a deserted corner to giggle themselves to suffocation.

Surely, there must be some co-relation between the breast and the

vagina? As Icy caressed the areola and nipple Marinah kneaded on the labia

and as he sucked on the nipple, she pulled on the sensitive clitoris. As he

licked more flirtatiously on the nipples and sucked on the nipples at

random orders, her rhythm at the vagina became discordant. Disorientated

by the continuous random stimulations, Marinah's hands went to her pelvis

below the navel and began to press both hands flat on the womb. This

alleviated somewhat but she still could not hit the nail on the head

and returned to the disorientated dough making, womb comforting and

breast squeezing processes.



Both wondered who is the masochist at this moment, he titillating

her to disorientation or she dough making, womb slapping and boobs
kneading with legs wriggling to boot? The sight of her legs kicking out

in random order on the sheet aroused him and he felt his precum

came over his thighs many many times. Mutual masochism and sadism indeed.

Suddenly, she seized him by the head, pulled him down on her

and both kissed and tongue lashed into each others' mouth for near

eternity. Finally both broke off onto their backs gasping for air.

She woke up with Icy's fingers gliding, palpating, tantalizing

and vibrating on her wrenched labia and clitoris. She leaned over to

grasp his penis and slowly but certainly raised it up to a full hard pole.

She raised her thigh to widen her vagina and Icy noticed her thigh

trembled autonomically. She sure had been stimulated to pure exhaustion.

Her autonomic reflexes had taken over the muscular.

The art of jujitsu is not a art of exhibition. It is not a game.

It is not a show. It is a discipline. It is a way of life. It is an

art of war. "Fifty percent of you will drop out after 1 month. 30% the

second month, the rest will drag on for one year. By the end of 3 years

only one of you will qualify to sit for the black belt. You are here

to fight for your life. You will learn as I shall teach. You will

show no mercy to your opponents, no pity, no remorse and no recompense.

You will carry this art as a flaming sword that visits death, swiftly,

on your opponents lest you perish as their victim ".

Tough words, challenging words, thought Marinah, on the first

day of her training. Two years passed. She blocked, blowed, kicked and

threw her way to her brown belt. The black belt is the toughest.

She remembered throwing, falling, dropping and blocking extremely low and

dangerous blows and suffering extremely high throws where, she, whether

conscious or unconsciously, had to break the fall or die. She first fought

like a zombie. Then she learned the art of internal strength, drawing
on her subconscious to will the conscious to move, learning slowly and

painfully the art of invincibility.

Suddenly Marinah seized his hand into a upper elbow lock and

sprang up to sit on him and fuck him dead. At the same time Icy reverse

somersaulted dragging her legs to the corner of the bed. He then double

locked her knees and his hands reached to the back of her neck. Fuck,

he is still good and broke into an impish smile.

The sudden bouts immediately heightened each other's consciousness.

The room became electric with tension. And Marinah sensed danger in the

air. His penis enlarged and her vaginal muscles quivered ready for mortal

combat. He dragged her towards him arching her thighs higher and wider

into the wheel-barrow position. His penis exploded into her and both

saw flashes of extreme penetrations and suctions down the vortex.

The room gradually brightened. Icy was riding deeper and deeper

into Marinah. His hands were now on the side of Marinah's chest while she

outstretched her legs, raised her pelvis and grabbed his ass as he

pounded in. They starred in trance at each other, each willing the other

to come. Marinah closed her eyes to defer her orgasm but Icy arched his

pelvis into her forcing the penis to ride into and across the os. Her

eyes widened to see flashes after flashes as the penis rammed into her.

She took in a deep breath into her abdomen and coughed with her

mouth and nose closed! He collapsed forward to hear her, and she hear

him wailed out long and loud:

"Ai yah !!!!!!!! nur og leau ........"

"Uoooooooh aaaaaaa AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaHhhhhh"

Both lay side by side, holding each other's hand, recovering their

breath and whatever strength they still had.

Icy turned to Marinah, "how many?"

Marinah glared at him with smiling eyes,

" Three times !!!! .....and you?"

"Two."

She turned and nudged into his chest knowing very well he had come

only once tonight.

It is in giving that you receive.
