Power & Sex, and... 90

After finally prying Ara off me and greeting my mother-in-law, I took a shower and came out. When I finished and stepped into the living room, all the lights were off, with only a candle flickering on the dining table where Ara sat waiting.

"Where's Mother?"

"She just left to stay at a friend's place."

"You should've stopped her. Where's she going at this hour?"

I quickly called my mother-in-law.

"Mother, where are you?"

"Go to bed, dear."

"Mother, where are you right now?"

"I'll be staying at my friend's tonight, so don't worry and get some rest."

"If you keep doing this, I won't be able to come back home. Where exactly are you?"

I could understand her feelings. My newlywed daughter was finally reuniting with her husband after so long, so she was giving us space. But it didn't make sense for her to leave the house late at night and crash somewhere else. I grabbed my jacket and rushed out the front door.

"Mother, I'm heading toward the subway station. Whereabouts are you?"

She must have gone pretty far while I was showering. In the end, I found her at the subway station concourse, waiting for the train back, and brought her home. It might burden Ara a bit, but since I'd held her the night before, she'd manage for a while.

Once I confirmed Mother had gone to her room, I returned to ours. Ara looked displeased with my actions, but I ignored her expression and laid out the bedding.

"Let's look into getting a two-story house."

"Why a house all of a sudden?"

"We can't keep inconveniencing Mother forever."

"True, but where's the money for that?"

"I'll figure something out, and we can take out a loan using the current house as collateral for the shortfall."

"Why not just rent a jeonse and move out on our own?"

"And leave Mother alone? Then why would I have agreed to live with your family? Old folks age faster when they're by themselves. Do you want Mother getting old quick? At least you can keep her company, and it's better for you too than being alone."

The conclusion was clear. Buying a two-story house meant no more awkwardness between us, Mother wouldn't be lonely, and Ara could get her help when busy. Finding a two-story place was top priority anyway.

Ara was sulking hard because bringing Mother back meant no bedtime fun. But what could I do? I could always be intimate with Ara later, but I couldn't make Mother crash at a friend's again in the middle of the night like before.

"Come here."

"No!"

"Jeez. Is it this hard for a husband to hold his wife?"

"If you hold me, you'll make me want it."

After some bickering, she finally snuggled into my arms, and I buried my face in her hair as I drifted off, feeling her fingers fidgeting on my chest.

The next morning, when I got up to wash, Mother was gone again.

"Where'd Mother go?"

"What time is it?"

"Five-thirty."

"Then she's off to the mountain."

"The mountain?"

"Yeah, she goes hiking every day at this time."

"Really?"

I'd been such an oblivious son-in-law. Even though I didn't sleep home often, I hadn't known she hiked at dawn daily. Come to think of it, even before going to Seoul, I'd come home exhausted every night and never woke before she roused me for breakfast, so it made sense.

Not missing the chance, I slipped back under the covers and gently hugged her.

"What're you doing?"

"Just stay still."

I brought my lips to hers, softly licking her upper lip. Soon, she let out a soft hmph~, parting her lips as her tongue met mine. I slid a hand under her shirt to knead her perky ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠breast, the other into her pajama pants to squeeze her firm ass.

"Ha~ah~ Why're you starting this in the morning~"

She was heating up. Her nipple stiffened against my palm, so I pinched it lightly between thumb and forefinger, making her squirm.

"Ah~ang~ Ahji~"

I shoved her shirt up and bit into her breast.

"Ah~ah~ It hurts~hng~"

I scraped my teeth down the deeply bitten flesh, nipping her nipple, drawing pained cries mixed with moans as her arms wrapped around my neck. Hooking my toes into the elastic of her pajama pants, I pulled them down. She lifted her hips to help.

Sucking her breast, I moved a hand to her valley's entrance, already slick. Dipping a ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠finger in, I found wetness pooled at the bottom, scooping it up and sliding upward.

"Gasp!"

She squeezed my neck tight.

"Ahji~ Ahji~ Ha~ah~"

No more delays. I mounted her, aimed my pillar, and thrust deep into her valley. Her cavern burned like a volcano, her inner walls clenching to resist as her lips devoured mine madly.

Slowly pushing in, then pulling back, her walls that had gripped tight now vanished—her legs clamped my ass, refusing to let go.

Overcoming the pressure, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠as my pillar nearly slipped free, I slammed down ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠hard, pounding my rigid meat club deep like a pile driver in tunnel work.

"Eung! It hurts~ Ahji~ Ah~ Feels so good~"

I drew it out slowly, then pushed faster, repeating as her hips bucked wildly, legs squeezing my ass to hold me.

Hot energy gathered deep in her valley. Time for the final sprint. I rocked my hips subtly, teasing her cavern's end wall, then as her arms and legs pulled me in, I plunged fast and fierce, my flesh spear's tip piercing the depths.

With a dying moan of "Gasp!", her body shuddered violently, hot lava erupting gulk! gulk~ from the breached wall deep inside. Unable to control the tremors, she sobbed, strangling my neck.

"Still mad at me?"

"When did I say I was mad?"

"Aigoo. You were calling her so pretty last night."

"Shush~ Mom gave us space to sleep together, but you brought her back."

"Get up and get ready quick. It'll be awkward if Mother comes back."

As her sobs faded and tremors stopped, I gave her lips a quick kiss, patted her ass tap, tap, and got her up. Only then did her pout vanish, replaced by a bright smile as she gazed at me. Her flushed cheeks looked adorable that morning.

After she went to wash and I tidied up, I showered and came out to find Mother back from the mountain.

"You hike every day?"

"Folks my age don't sleep much at dawn, they say."

"Next time I come down, I should join you sometime."

"When would you have the time?"

We chatted comfortably over breakfast, then with Mother and Ara seeing me off, I headed out. Past rush hour, taxis were easy, so I arrived at the hotel early.

"Sleep well?"

"Assemblyman Park, you look drained. Pushing too hard?"

"Hey now, Assemblyman Han, what kind of joke is that first thing in the morning?"

Assemblyman Han greeted me warmly. We gathered in the first-floor coffee shop, sipping coffee and discussing the day's schedule before setting off from Busan to meet Paeng Gisu, the delegate introduced by Advisor Jeong—our first stop.

Navigation said two hours, so even with a rest stop, we'd reach Saengcho-myeon around 11:30 no problem. Roads that usually clogged—the Hwangnyeong Tunnel entrance, the highways out of Busan—flowed smoothly today, like they were helping us. We stopped at Jinyeong Rest Area for coffee, stretched our stiff bodies, then hit the road again, swinging by Munsan Rest Area near Jinju for a leisurely approach.

Passing Sancheong IC, I called Delegate Paeng Gisu; he was at the township office for other business, so we exited at Saengcho IC and headed straight there.

As our van pulled into the spacious township office backed by low hills, a portly elder waved from outside. I parked and hurried over.

"Are you Delegate Paeng Gisu?"

"Yes, that's me. And you must be Assemblyman Park Maru?"

"Yes. Nice to meet you. I'm Park Maru."

"Advisor Jeong was nagging me nonstop about it. Anyway, welcome."

As I greeted Delegate Paeng, the assemblymen waiting in the car piled out to pay their respects. While we bowed and chatted, a group that looked like officials poured out from the entrance.

"Where are you folks from?"

One stepped forward, asking our identity.

"We're Jumin Party assemblymen. What's going on?"

"Ah, welcome! I'm Lee Seok-woo, deputy township head here in Saengcho-myeon. It's an honor."

These officials were clearly misunderstanding something. Among them was probably the township head and department leads. The deputy must have been sent as a stand-in.
