My Stepmother Got on My Bike and Everything Changed

Valeria had been upstairs for almost an hour when I went down to the living room for the second time to see if she was ready yet. My father had asked me to take her to dinner at the harbor while he handled some business in Madrid, and I’d said yes without thinking too much about it. What I hadn’t calculated was how long a woman like her could take to get ready, or what I was going to feel when I finally saw her come downstairs.

I heard her before I saw her. The sound of her heels on the wooden steps reached me first, and then she appeared in the stairwell with the unhurried poise of someone who knows exactly the effect she has.

—Are we going? —she said, as if she hadn’t kept me waiting for forty minutes.

I was speechless for a moment. It wasn’t the first time I’d seen her dressed up, but there was something different about her that night. She was wearing synthetic leather pants that outlined every curve, hugged her round ass, and rode so high into her crotch they drew a line no man could stop looking at. A matching short jacket and a white blouse with the top button undone hinted at the beginnings of her breasts, pressed up by a bra that pushed her cleavage high. She wore her hair loose and a silver bracelet that jingled when she leaned on the banister.

—I figured you weren’t going to give up the bike, so I looked for something… appropriate —she added, with a smile that wasn’t entirely innocent—. Is it too much?

—Classic biker look —I said, because it was the only thing I could manage without making it obvious my mouth had gone dry.

She was thirty-two. My father was fifty-one. I was twenty-nine. The mathematics of that situation had been making me uncomfortable for a while in ways I preferred not to examine too closely.

We went out to the garage and I took the cover off the Yamaha MT-09. The bike sat exposed under the fluorescent light, black and menacing, with that aggressive look I’d always liked precisely because of that.

—My God —Valeria murmured, taking a step back.

—It doesn’t bite —I said as I got on and started it up.

The engine roared in the garage and the sound bounced off the concrete walls. I saw the skin on her arms rise in goosebumps even though it was warm. I handed her the spare helmet and she put it on carefully, looking at herself in the mirror with a worried expression.

—The hair’s ruined anyway —I told her.

—Easy for you to say —she complained, but she climbed on.

When I felt her get on behind me, when her leather-clad thighs squeezed mine and her hands searched awkwardly for somewhere to hold on, I had to breathe slowly. I felt her crotch settle against my ass, the taut seam of those pants pressing against me, and her breasts squashing soft against my back with every breath. My cock hardened all at once inside my jeans and I had to shift in the seat to hide it. I spent an extra second checking the mirrors before putting it into first.

We rolled down the hill slowly. Night had fallen over the residential neighborhood and the streetlights threw long shadows across the asphalt. On the first straight stretch I accelerated gently so she could get used to it, but when we hit the first sharp curve the bike leaned and Valeria pressed herself to my back as if her life depended on it.

—You said you’d go slow! —she shouted.

—This is slow! —I shot back, and I couldn’t help laughing.

Her arms wrapped all the way around me, crossed over my chest, and one of her hands dropped low, just above the belt buckle, a finger’s width from the hard cock that still hadn’t gone down. I could feel her heat through my jacket and the vibration of the engine running through both of us, straight into our crotches. At the next traffic light I braked more gently than necessary just so she wouldn’t have any excuse to let go.

This is crazy, I thought. Focus on driving.

We headed down toward the center along the coastal avenue. Valeria relaxed as she figured out the bike’s rhythm, and by the halfway point she stopped gripping me in panic and started holding on differently, more comfortably, with her chin resting lightly on my shoulder and her hard nipples showing through her blouse against my back. At the city lights I gave the throttle a couple of short bursts and she laughed under the helmet with a laugh I hadn’t expected to hear from her, while her leather-clad pussy stayed pressed against my ass, taking advantage of every vibration.

I parked beside the harbor promenade and waited for her to get off. It took her a moment, her legs a little shaky.

—Careful —I said, holding her by the elbow until she steadied.

She took off the helmet and shook out her hair. She looked at me with shining eyes, cheeks slightly flushed, and smiled in a way I hadn’t seen from her before.

—That was incredible —she said—. At first I thought I was going to die, but then… it’s addictive. The vibrations, the speed, that feeling that the ground is right there underneath…

—I told you you’d like it.

—You didn’t say it exactly like that —she shot back, handing me the helmet. She adjusted her pants with a discreet tug, as if she needed to peel them away from the dampness of her crotch, and avoided my eyes while doing it.

***

We walked along the promenade arm in arm because she suggested it, or rather because she naturally held out her hand and I offered my elbow without thinking. The harbor was packed at that hour, tourists and locals mixed together, the smell of salt and fried food drifting from the bars.

That was when Bruno showed up.

Almost two meters tall, broad as a wardrobe, shaved head and a smile that took up half his face. I’d known him since high school and he was still as loud and as brutish as ever.

—Marco! Mate, you got here yesterday and already you’ve got plans! —he shouted from ten meters away.

Behind him came his girlfriend, Suki, small and quiet, a contrast to him that I’d always found fascinating.

—Excuse me, I’m not his girlfriend! I’m his… —Valeria started, then stopped.

I glanced at her out of the corner of my eye. I saw exactly the moment she calculated what she was going to say next and decided not to say it.

—This is Valeria, a friend —I rescued her.

—Of course, a friend! —Bruno cackled, winking with all the subtlety of a hammer—. Sure!

—Bruno… —I warned.

—Sorry, sorry —he said, raising his hands—. I just can’t help myself.

Suki elbowed him and held out her hand to Valeria with a genuine smile.

—Ignore him. I’m Suki.

—Valeria. Nice to meet you.

I suggested we have a drink later at our usual bar and we agreed. When we split up, Valeria waited until we were far enough away and shot me a sidelong look.

—So, “a friend”… —she said.

—Would you have preferred to explain the truth to them? —I asked—. “No, Bruno, she’s my father’s wife. She’s just younger than I am, not sure if you’re following me.”

Valeria let out a short laugh, almost despite herself.

—You’re right. It’s a difficult situation to explain without sounding weird.

—It sounds weird because it is weird.

—It is —she admitted, without taking her eyes off the promenade.

***

We kept walking. At some point she hooked her arm back through mine and I let it be. We talked about Bruno, about Suki, about why some people fit better with the people least expected. Valeria listened with real attention, not the polite distance she’d shown me during the first months of living together.

That was when a tall blonde woman, with that kind of beauty that wears time well, cut us off from the opposite sidewalk.

—Marco? —she shouted.

It was Claudia. Three years of a relationship, two years of silence, one of final distance. She crossed the street ignoring Valeria as if she didn’t exist and hugged me with too much familiarity, pressing her tits against my chest for a second longer than necessary.

—Long time no see —she said against my neck.

I gently pulled away.

—Hi, Claudia. This is Valeria, a friend.

Claudia looked at her then, with a smile that was more appraisal than greeting.

—Wow, Marco. Always with the prettiest ones —she said, and there was something sharp in her tone.

—See you around —I cut in, and gently took Valeria’s hand to lead her away.

We walked half a block in silence before she spoke.

—I suppose that makes me another one of “Marco’s friends” —she said, lightly mimicking Claudia’s accent.

—Claudia was another story —I replied—. We loved each other badly for too long. There are people with whom the chemistry is so intense it becomes a problem.

Valeria didn’t say anything for a few steps.

—I get it —she said at last, quietly.

And something in the way she said it made me stop.

We looked at each other. It was the first time that night we were really looking at each other, without the pretext of the bike or greetings or conversations about other people. Just the two of us on the promenade, with the harbor noise in the background and that sentence hanging between us like an unasked question.

—Are you hungry? —I asked.

—Yes —she said, and we started walking again.

***

We had dinner in a small place by the water, wooden tables with no tablecloths, a chalkboard menu and regional wine. We ordered without looking too closely at the menu and ended up talking for two hours about things that had nothing to do with my father.

She told me about her work as a designer, about a project that was stealing her sleep, about her mother being sick in Seville and how she dealt with the guilt of living far away. She told it slowly, choosing her words, as if it had been a long time since anyone had listened without interrupting.

—I don’t get why you post content like that on social media when it’s obvious there’s so much more in you —I said, without thinking too much.

She looked at me, eyes narrowed.

—Did you snoop on my profile?

—A little.

—And what did you see?

—I saw what you want people to see. What you hide is more interesting.

Valeria lowered her gaze to the wine. She swirled it slowly in the glass before answering.

—Your father never tells me that —she said.

It wasn’t a complaint. It was just a statement, spoken so quietly I could barely hear it over the noise in the place.

You shouldn’t be thinking what you’re thinking, I told myself.

But it was too late for that.

***

We met Bruno and Suki at the bar at eleven. It was just two short beers, because Suki had to get up early and Bruno never drank too much since he started taking care of his mother. We said goodbye at the door and watched them walk away hand in hand.

—They’re lovely —Valeria said.

—They’re honest with each other —I replied—. That’s what makes them lovely.

She nodded slowly, arms crossed over her chest, staring at the empty street.

—We have to go back —she said, without moving.

—Yeah.

Neither of us moved for a moment.

She was the one who turned her head toward me first. And I was the one who took the step. It wasn’t an accident or a misunderstanding or any of those fictions people tell themselves afterward. It was a decision we both made at the same instant, wordlessly, fully aware of what it meant.

The kiss began slowly, barely a brush, but it lasted long enough to stop being brief. I parted her lips with my tongue and she took it with hers, wet and hot, and suddenly she was pressed against my body, tits against chest, leather-clad pussy against the bulge that was building in my pants again. I grabbed her ass with both hands over the tight leather and she let out a muffled little moan into my mouth. I felt her fingers sink into the back of my neck, tugging my hair, and I noticed her pushing her hips against mine, rubbing without realizing it or without wanting to realize it.

We pulled apart, gasping. Valeria looked down at her shoes, cheeks burning. I ran a hand through my hair, still tasting wine and someone else’s saliva in my mouth.

—This is crazy —she said.

—I know.

—Marco…

—I know —I repeated.

Silence. The harbor around us, indifferent to everything, its background noise of waves and distant engines.

—So what now? —she asked quietly.

I didn’t have an honest answer for that. I only knew we had crossed a line neither of us had intended to cross that night, and that the difference between before and after that kiss was as clear and irreversible as the difference between standing still and moving on a motorcycle.

—Now we go back —I said—. And tomorrow we decide what we do with this.

Valeria nodded, picked up the helmet hanging from her arm, and held it out for me to put away.

—Okay —she said.

We got on the bike in silence. This time, when her arms went around me, there was nothing awkward or afraid in it, only the calm weight of someone who has decided to stay. And one of her hands, her right hand, slowly slipped down to rest on the inside of my thigh, not far from the cock that had been throbbing inside my jeans for half the night. She didn’t move it. She didn’t take it away. She just left it there, burning through the fabric.

I rode back up the hill slowly, took the curves carefully, and didn’t say a word the whole way. Every time I braked, her tits pressed harder against my back, and every time I accelerated, she ground her pussy into my ass as if the engine’s vibration were doing the work that hands still didn’t dare do.

No words were needed.

When I parked in the garage and shut off the engine, the silence swallowed the whole house. We took off our helmets without looking at each other. She got off first, and waited for me to dismount, and the instant I turned to hang up the keys she was on me again, her mouth on mine, tongue inside, driving me back against the bike’s cold tank.

—We were supposed to decide tomorrow —I murmured against her lips.

—Tomorrow I won’t be able to think of anything else —she replied, and shoved her hand under my belt without further preamble.

She grabbed my cock over my underwear, squeezed it once from top to bottom, and everything I’d been holding back since I saw her come down the stairs shot straight to my head. I lifted her by the ass, set her on the Yamaha’s tank, and yanked her short jacket open. I tore the buttons off her blouse one after another, carelessly, and pushed down the cups of her bra with my thumbs until her tits burst free, white, full, with the pink nipples hardened like stones. I bent down and took one fully into my mouth, sucking, biting just enough with my teeth to make her groan hard against the garage ceiling.

—Not here —she panted—. Upstairs. Come on.

I carried her up to the stairs and from there we stumbled upstairs, kissing, her pulling my T-shirt over my head on the landing, me tugging down the zipper of her leather pants at the guest room door. We went into my room, closing the door with our hips, and Valeria fell back onto the bed with her blouse open, tits out and pants half off her thighs.

—Get them off me —she said, shifting her hips—. I’m suffocating down there.

I pulled at the leather until I had it off her ankles. Underneath she was wearing a soaked black thong, the fabric darkened in the center and stuck to her pussy like a second skin. I spread her legs without mercy and parted the thong with two fingers. Her pussy opened up pink and shiny, the lips swollen and a thread of slick hanging from her clit to the fabric. I dropped my mouth without warning and ran my tongue all the way from bottom to top, very slowly, until I sealed my lips over the clit.

—Fuck —she hissed, arching—. Fuck, Marco…

I licked her without stopping, the tip of my tongue circling the swollen bud while I shoved two fingers into her cunt and curled them inward. She was so wet you could hear the fingers going in and out. She grabbed my hair with both hands and pressed my face against her crotch, pushing her hips up, fucking my mouth without shame.

—Don’t stop, don’t stop —she kept repeating—, like that, harder, suck it harder, fuck…

I felt her pussy walls tightening around my fingers, felt her thighs start trembling on both sides of my head, and I flattened my tongue against her clit until she came with a muffled cry, biting the back of her hand so the whole neighborhood wouldn’t hear her. Her hot slick ran over my fingers and down her chin while I kept licking her slowly, stretching out her orgasm until she herself pulled me away by the hair.

—Come here —she said hoarsely, sitting up and reaching for my pants—. Come here. I want to see it.

She unbuttoned my jeans and yanked my underwear down. My cock sprang free, hard, swollen, the tip already wet with precum. She stared at it for a second, licked her lips, and took it all the way into her mouth without warning. I felt her take me to the back of her throat, squeeze me, and then withdraw slowly, leaving a trail of saliva all over my shaft.

—Jesus, Valeria… —I groaned, bracing both hands on the headboard.

She sucked me with hungry frustration, using both hands to help, looking up at me with wet eyes every time she swallowed me whole. She licked my balls, came back up, spit on the tip, and went back down again. When I felt I was about to come in her mouth I pulled her away by the jaw.

—Lie down —I told her.

She obeyed without arguing. She fell back, grabbed her tits with both hands, and spread her legs, showing me her soaked cunt.

—Fuck me —she said, not lowering her voice—. Fast, before I change my mind. Fuck me hard, Marco.

I got on top, hooked one leg behind her knee, and shoved my cock inside her in one single thrust. Her cunt opened tight, hot, slicking around my shaft, and she let out a long moan that died against my shoulder when I shut her up with a kiss. I started fucking her slowly at first, going all the way in each time, pulling almost all the way out and then sinking back in, her tits bouncing with every stroke between our chests.

—Harder —she panted—. Don’t treat me gently, I’m not some fucking doll, give it to me harder…

I grabbed her by the hips and drove my cock into her faster, deeper, until the bed started slamming against the wall with a rhythm neither of us even tried to hide. She clung to the headboard with both hands, taking my cock in every time I came in, and looked me in the eyes without blinking, mouth open and breath shattered.

—Turn over —I told her.

She got on all fours without protest, ass raised and back arched. I saw the red thong mark on her butt cheeks and gave her a sharp slap that left my handprint. She moaned and pushed her ass back, asking for more. I shoved my cock into her from behind again, holding her by the hips, and from there I fucked her hard, no rhythm, ramming her as if I were trying to break something. Every time I drove in, a short moan escaped her into the pillow, and I could see my cock coming in and out glossy with her slick, see her cunt swallowing it whole on every thrust.

—I’m going to come again —she panted—, don’t stop, fuck, don’t stop, like that, like that…

I slid one hand around front and rubbed her clit with two fingers while I kept thrusting into her. It lasted three or four more strokes and then she came screaming into the pillow, her whole body shaking, squeezing my cock so hard with her pussy walls that she almost dragged me along with her. I held on with clenched teeth, kept fucking her through the orgasm, and when I felt her starting to come down I pulled out abruptly.

—On your back —I told her—. I want to look at you.

She rolled over panting, hair wild and mascara smeared, and spread her legs one last time. I sank my cock back into her and fucked her while looking at her face, never taking my eyes off hers, until the ejaculation rose from the base of my spine. I pulled out at the very last second and came in thick spurts over her stomach, over her tits, over the hollow at the base of her throat. She ran two fingers through it, brought them to her mouth, and sucked them clean without stopping looking at me.

I collapsed beside her. We both lay there gasping in silence, the ceiling spinning, our breathing out of sync.

—Tomorrow we’re not deciding anything —she murmured at last, eyes closed and a tired smile on her lips.

—No —I admitted—. It’s already decided.

Some things are understood better without words, especially the ones that shouldn’t be happening and happen anyway.
