Uncomfortable Night
A Strange Way of Doing Business In Taiwan. The discomfort bothered him. He turned to his left side, hoping for more comfort. No change. A beautiful face loomed out of the inky darkness and intruded into his dreamless sleep. It looked familiar, but he just couldn’t place it. Sweat continued to run off his creased brow, dampening the pillow. The sheets clung to his naked body, and he kicked them off in his sleep. Finally, the unfamiliarity of the bed got to him. He sat up, swinging his long, lithe legs to the ground in one fluid motion.
Vivid Memories
In the few seconds before his eyes flew open, the beautiful face wormed its way into his thoughts again. It was vividly clear now, a mischievous glint sparkling in her eyes as she laughed and beckoned him to follow her, running naked into a pool of steaming water.
He opened his eyes and sleepily stood up. He swayed on the spot for a bit as lightheadedness hit him. Feeling his way by touch, he moved towards the rectangle of light spilling through an open door a few feet away. As he stumbled into the bathroom, he involuntarily screwed his eyes shut against the bright light within.
Unpleasant Discoveries
He flipped up the toilet seat and proceeded to ease himself while eyeing his reflection through squinted eyes in the mirror before him. He noticed a few sharp bruises across his chest and a reddened half-circle on his shoulder. It was tender to the touch, and he winced, trying to recall how he had gotten these apparent injuries.
As he shook off the final drops, he glanced down at his crotch and did a double take. His black member was covered in a crusty, white substance, as if some sort of light but viscous liquid had dried up on it. It did not look good. What the hell had he gotten up to?
Painful Steps
He turned around and went back into the darkness of the room beyond. Temporarily blind, he felt his foot step on something hard and sharp.
“Fuck!” he called out.
He hobbled on one foot, picking up the foreign object, which turned out to be a Jimmy Choo 6-inch heeled ladies’ shoe. The light cackle of a woman’s laughter echoed in his thoughts. He reached for the table lamp and flicked the switch. The lamp bathed the room in a soft glow. Amid the tangled sheets, at the other end of the bed, he could make out a feminine form with black, lustrous hair tousled over the pillow. Her supine figure continued to rise and fall gently in deep sleep.
Seeking Answers
When he sat back down on the bed, trying to recall who she was or where they had met, she turned over and smiled sleepily.
“For… forgive me,” he stammered. “Who are you, and where am I?”
She chuckled and traced a finger lightly across his back. He buried his head in his hands, trying desperately to recall how he had come into contact with her and what they had done. The foggy clouds in his mind ebbed away, and he felt his thoughts transporting him back to the previous morning.
Sudden Descent
DING…
(LOUDSPEAKER) “…SHORTLY. I REPEAT, WE WILL BEGIN OUR DESCENT INTO TAIPEI SHORTLY. PLEASE FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS.”
The announcement jerked Tyrell out of his sleep. He slipped his headphones off his head and around his neck before fastening his seatbelt. He looked out of the small window and saw fluffy white clouds lapping at the wings of the plane. As the plane burst through the clouds, the scene changed completely.
Physical Attributes and Ambitions
Tyrell was physically active and strong, with a muscular, well-proportioned body. He stood tall at roughly 198 cm or 6 feet five inches. Just entering his late twenties, his wild partying days were behind him, replaced with a passion to make his business, TK Shoes, a global success. This passion was the reason for his visit to Taiwan and China. Raised in New York, he had a heavy and loud Yankee accent that many found annoying and often mistook for arrogance.
Arrival in Taipei
Rain fell steadily that morning, droplets rolling horizontally across the window pane. Tyrell thought nothing of it and pulled the shutter down. He glanced at his neighbor, who was gripping the armrest firmly. Flashing a quick, reassuring smile, he turned away, thinking, obviously not a frequent flyer. The tires thudded once, twice, and then rolled pleasantly forward as the pilot maneuvered the plane towards the arrivals gate. Passengers filed out, and Tyrell found himself in the brilliantly lit arrivals lounge at Taipei Taoyuan Airport.
The largest airport in Taiwan, Taipei Taoyuan Airport, is about 40 km from the city of Taipei. He proceeded to baggage collection on the second floor of Terminal 2, collected his two bags, and moved through the immigration line quickly. If nothing else, the Taiwanese seemed efficient.
Navigating the Airport
The exit was crowded with new arrivals trying to find their relatives and loved ones. Tyrell shouldered his way through them and exchanged some US Dollars for New Taiwan Dollars before heading to the taxi rank. There was an abundance of yellow taxis, but he had already been warned that most drivers did not speak English. Prepared, he had a Chinese map with the address he needed already marked.
Taxi to the Hotel
He walked up to the first taxi in the rank, and the driver put his two bags in the trunk.
“Eastern Star Hotel, please,” Tyrell said to the small Asian male driver.
“我不会说英语,” the driver replied. Tyrell handed him the map and pointed to the marked spot. The driver nodded, saying, “是的，我知道这是什么.”
Twenty or so minutes later, the taxi pulled up to the hotel, and Tyrell got out. The driver took his bags out, and Tyrell slipped him a ten-dollar American note. The taxi driver seemed very happy with this and nodded enthusiastically, saying, “这是非常好的付款先生谢谢你.”
Initial Impressions
Tyrell didn’t wait for any change, turning around and looking at the hotel. The establishment was advertised as a luxury hotel, but having traveled extensively in Asia, his favorite place in the world apart from New York was Singapore with its many stories. Tyrell was not surprised that, in America, this hotel would be lucky to get more than three stars.
He ensured that when he booked, he paid the extra few dollars for a window room since being enclosed in a room with no natural light made him feel claustrophobic. Entering the ‘luxury’ lobby, he noticed how small the room was. However, the warmth within enveloped him, and he turned to the smiling lady behind the counter on his right.
Checking In
“Do you have my room ready? I booked one with a window,” he said.
“Sure. We can arrange that,” she replied in heavily accented English. “How long will you be staying, sir?”
“Just the weekend,” he said.
She handed him a key, and a bellboy took his bags and helped him to his room.
Settling In
Tyrell looked around the room, seeing everything but not really taking it in. He noticed that it was clean. Glancing at his watch, he saw it was a quarter to ten. He was supposed to meet a representative from a shoe manufacturer at 5 PM. His sneaker line was gaining ground back in the States, and he was looking for partners in the Far East who could manufacture his line without compromising the quality sought after back home. Additionally, he considered importing his stock from China as manufacturing in the USA was expensive.
Killing Time
It was barely ten, and he needed a way to kill time. Peering out of the window, he saw numerous coffee shops lining the street. He felt a strong urge to relax before his important meeting. Pulling off his shoes and jeans, he tossed them onto the bed where his small suitcase lay. He unzipped it and pulled out a pair of black Supreme sweatpants. After putting them on, he unbuttoned his shirt, tossing it with the other clothes on the bed, and turned to look at himself in the mirror.
Quick Change
The eagle tattoo spanned his broad, muscular chest, with wings outstretched, covering the bulging skin across his pectorals. He pulled on a matching black t-shirt, donned his headphones and flops, and walked out of the room into the elevator. When the elevator chimed open at the lobby, the lady at the counter looked up, and he winked at her.
Friendly Encounter
She responded with a smile of white, even teeth that lit up her eyes. She quickly glanced back down at her work but couldn’t hide the red hue shading her cheeks. These Chinese formalities—he would never understand.
Exploring
He popped into the first coffee shop, but the espresso was not to his liking. Picking up a brochure, he leafed through it. As he turned to a page about Yangmingshan National Park, he glanced up to see a very pretty face, two tables away, hurriedly look down and scroll through her phone.
Enchanted by Yangmingshan
Tyrell smiled to himself and resumed perusing the brochure. One of the nine national parks in Taiwan, Yangmingshan National Park was located between Taipei and New Taipei City. The park spanned a large area, stretching over Taipei’s Beitou and Shilin districts, and New Taipei’s Wanli, Jinshan, and Sanzhi districts. It was less than half an hour away from where he was now sitting, and the pictures were absolutely stunning.
He let out a low whistle at how beautiful it looked. A throat cleared a few tables away, and he looked over his brochure to see the woman eyeing him slyly.
Setting Out
He finally stood up and hailed a cab outside. Instructing the driver to take him to Yangmingshan National Park, he asked, “Anything interesting I should expect to find?”
“My English not very good,” the driver replied, “but cherry blossoms in full bloom, very pretty now.”
“Oh, really,” Tyrell was amazed. “I’ve only seen them in magazines.”
“You see, very good, sir,” the driver intoned. He then proceeded to talk on his mobile phone while Tyrell thought about the park and the images he had seen. This sounded like a perfect place to unwind while waiting for his contact. Tyrell scrolled through his phone, engrossed in his Instagram feed when the taxi jerked to a halt.
Arrival at the Park
“Mister, you see, we here now,” the taxi driver exclaimed.
Tyrell paid the fare and got out of the car, overwhelmed by the sight of pathways filled with pink cherry blossom trees. The ground was covered with their flowers, and a beautiful scent carried through the air. Tyrell walked slowly along the bitumen pathway, feeling like he was in another world—a fairyland. The park was not busy, probably because it was a weekday and everyone was at work.
Nature’s Embrace
Apart from its cherry blossoms, Yangmingshan had hot springs, sulfur deposits, fumaroles, venomous snakes, hiking trails, and waterfalls, including Taiwan’s tallest dormant volcano, Seven Star Mountain.
“Whoa!” he exclaimed, looking around in awe.
Being from New York, he was used to concrete streets and glass skyscrapers. The abundance of green and pink simply took his breath away. It was not raining this far from the city, and the calm environment enveloped him like Mother Nature’s hug. He pulled his phone from his pocket and started filming a live video of his surroundings. As he spun around, recording the cherry blossoms and mountain ranges in the background with the tufts of steam and cloud, he saw a familiar face on the screen.
A Familiar Face
He hurriedly put the phone down and looked around for the face. He did not see her though. Shrugging, he moved on, recording and taking pictures as he went. Finally, he came to an elaborate fountain, spewing water from the center and out towards the edges of the circle. Surrounding this fountain was a short brick enclosure within which grew brilliant pink flowers.
As he was taking a photo of this, he noticed the woman again. This time, he did not put the phone down but observed her through the lens of his device. She had high cheekbones, almond-shaped eyes, and thick black hair that fell to her shoulders. The dark, shimmering hair kept being blown into her face by the wind, and she had to keep tucking it behind her ears.
Unanticipated Attraction
After a particularly gusty breeze blew the hair into her face, she parted it elegantly to reveal a small but full mouth that completed her heart-shaped face. She had a small, firm figure, with wide hips that swung gaily as she walked.
Drinking all this in with his eyes, Tyrell felt the front of his sweatpants rise and stretch tautly. A nervous giggle jerked him out of his reverie, and he saw that she was smiling at him, blushing heavily. It took him a moment to realize that many of the women were staring at him. He looked down and realized that his thoughts about the woman from the coffee shop had triggered a massive erection. Being in sweatpants only accentuated the appearance of his arousal.
The Chase
Hurriedly, he stowed his phone in his pocket and shoved his other hand into the second pocket, trying to mask the bulge that looked like a pole holding up a tent. In that moment, a few heavy drops splattered on his forehead, and in the blink of an eye, the rain began to fall. Tourists and locals scattered, mothers dragging their children along. He whipped his head around and saw the woman going ahead, in a different direction from the rest of the crowd.
He began to follow her but lost sight of her behind some large cherry blossoms. He ran up and burst into a deserted hot spring enclosure. The bathers had hurriedly left when the rain started.
Unexpected Encounter
“I see you found me,” a silky voice said from behind him. He turned around and saw her standing there, looking so beautiful with wet hair plastered over her delicate face. Her white T-shirt was sticking to her truly feminine figure, and Tyrell could not draw his eyes away from her bosom, where her perky nipples showed through the now transparent, wet, and clingy material.
“Up here,” she said, putting her hand on his chin and raising it so that his eyes found hers.
A Chance Encounter
“I’m sorry,” he managed to say. “It’s just that I think you were looking at me in the coffee shop earlier today.”
“Yeah,” she replied, “And so?”
“So, it’s only right that I stare back.”
She chuckled again, a divine sound in his ears.
“You’re Tyrell Kiiza, right? Owner of TK Sneakers,” she continued. “My little brother is a fan of your line. Always bugging me when a new pair comes out. I’m ChangYing.”
He looked at her, astounded by her perfect English and that his sneakers were known even in Taiwan. His gaze followed a rivulet of rainwater that made its way down her neck and into her ample cleavage.
Familiarity and Attraction
“Sorry, uhm,” he searched for words. “Pardon me. Yes, I am TK.”
“Thought so. That’s why I followed you here,” she said.
“Well, you know I don’t carry shoes around with me wherever I go.”
“Of course,” she laughed. “But at least I’m getting to talk to a big person.”
He laughed at her use of the phrase “big person.” Feigning hurt, she pushed him, causing him to stumble and fall into the hot spring. He landed with an almighty splash and came up spluttering. He looked at her incredulously; she was still laughing. His puzzled expression slowly melted into laughter as well. He reached out and pulled her in, their laughter echoing through the surrounding cherry blossoms, sending birds flapping through the downpour.
Heated Moments
When she finally got her laughter in check, she noticed his carnal longing. Beneath the surface of the water, she felt the ravenous hunger of his manhood through her wet and flimsy black dress. He reached into the water and pulled her to him, groaning in the process. Pressed against his hard body, she felt vulnerable but willing to give in. She slipped her nimble fingers beneath his shirt and felt the heat coming off the panes of his abdomen, hotter than even the steaming water they were in. This was one Taiwan erotic story he was going to enjoy!
He looked deep into her eyes and moved in to kiss the smoothness of her neck. She let out an audible sigh of pleasure and felt her legs giving way; she had no control of them anymore.
Undeniable Desire
She pulled off his shirt and tossed it on the bank of the spring. As his kiss descended towards her full breasts, still clad in black, she felt a deep warmth welling from her navel and settling between her legs. She let out another moan and bit his shoulder, hard. He uttered a deep, primal, beastly groan that sent delicious shivers down her spine. She raked her hands down his chest, along the wings of the eagle tattoo, cutting slightly into the skin with her nails. Her hands slipped into the heavy material of his sweatpants.
Her slim fingers closed around his engorged, throbbing being, feeling it quiver with delight. His cock throbbed with urgent need as her hands danced tantalizingly on his rigid shaft. More than her hands, he wanted her mouth on him. Soon, he promised himself.
Giving In
She gasped, seeing his fully engorged penis. Then, she knelt between his parted legs. Leaning down, her tongue slid wetly over the head of his cock, her gaze fixed on his face. She parted her lips, taking him inside her mouth, suckling him deeply while her hands gently massaged his balls. He held her tightly, not allowing her to escape the thrust of his cock; his hips jerked upward as he forced himself deep into her mouth. She gagged as he rammed the back of her throat, warm saliva dripping to coat the sides of his shaft as it pounded into her.
“I’m going to throat fuck you!”
Unexpected Pleasure
She gagged as he rammed the back of her throat, warm saliva dripping to coat the sides of his shaft as it pounded into her. He wedged his dick into her throat, but instead of being scared, she was excited. The action was so unexpected, so incredibly erotic, that without warning, she came, her pussy convulsing in hard, sharp contractions.
She began to play with her clit as he continued to deep throat her, starting to pull the wet T-shirt off her shoulders.
A Hasty Retreat
Then, they heard voices approaching. In the next instant, he carried her onto the bank of the hot spring and jumped out. He pulled on his wet shirt as she fixed her clothes. Together, they fled from the scene, laughing as the park attendants rounded the corner into the hot spring clearing.
Recollections of the Night
As his thoughts now cleared, he recalled their bar-hopping adventure throughout the night. She had taken him to all the local hangouts, where he’d gotten drunk on several bottles of rice wine. He had tasted the infamous betel nuts and tried a potent local smoke. After that, he recalled little at all.
He vaguely remembered falling into the bed at the hotel. As the facts lay themselves before him, he recalled, with a sinking feeling, the meeting he was supposed to have had. Missing this important meeting was a grave mistake—the Chinese did not like tardiness or missed appointments, taking it as a personal insult. How was he going to make that right now?
Doing Business In Taiwan
Realization and Panic
He found his still damp sweatpants and retrieved his cell phone, but it would not power up and probably never would, having been in the hot springs of Taiwan. He cursed loudly, “FUCK!”
She turned and plainly said, “The Taipei Footwear Family Company will offer you a better deal than those fools at National Footwear Pty Limited.”
Revelation and Betrayal
He looked at her, realization finally dawning on him. His chance meeting with her in the coffee shop might not have been chance after all. This was all some sort of elaborate corporate sabotage between two warring footwear manufacturers, and he was caught in the middle. Exhausted from the mere thought of it all, Tyrell fell back onto the bed, inviting sleep to wash over him as he waited for his head to clear and make sense of it all.
The Corporate Intrigue
Tyrell’s mind raced, piecing together the events of the past 24 hours. The allure of ChangYing, the sudden distraction, the intoxicating night—all now seemed meticulously planned. He wondered how deep this conspiracy ran and whether he could trust anyone in this foreign land. The thought of being a pawn in a larger game filled him with a mix of anger and helplessness.
A Moment of Clarity
As he lay there, the soft hum of the air conditioner and the faint sounds of the bustling city outside lulled him into a state of semi-consciousness. Images of ChangYing’s face, her laughter, and her touch flitted through his mind. Despite the deceit, he couldn’t deny the strong attraction he felt towards her. There was something about her that was irresistibly captivating, even if she was part of this corporate plot.
A Plan Forms
Tyrell’s eyes snapped open as a plan began to form in his mind. He would confront ChangYing and demand answers. He couldn’t let this sabotage ruin his chances in Taiwan. He needed to regain control of the situation, both professionally and personally. The first step was to get his phone working again and reschedule the missed meeting. He knew it wouldn’t be easy, but he was determined to salvage his trip.
Confrontation
He turned to ChangYing, who was now sitting at the edge of the bed, her expression unreadable. “Why did you do it?” he asked, his voice steady despite the turmoil inside him. “Was this all just a game to you?”
ChangYing sighed, her eyes meeting his with a mixture of regret and defiance. “It wasn’t personal, Tyrell. This is how business is done here. But you have to believe me, I didn’t expect to actually like you.”
Unexpected Alliance
Despite his anger, Tyrell saw a flicker of sincerity in her eyes. “Then help me,” he said, his tone softening. “Help me fix this.”
ChangYing nodded slowly, understanding the gravity of the situation. “Alright,” she agreed. “I’ll help you. But you have to trust me.”
Moving Forward
With a cautious truce established, Tyrell felt a surge of determination. Together, they would navigate the complex business landscape of Taiwan, turning the unexpected alliance into an opportunity. The path ahead was uncertain, but Tyrell was ready to face it head-on, with ChangYing by his side.
Business in Taiwan
This was the strangest way to do business in China’s Taiwan, he mused. But it was also the most exhilarating. As they set out to confront the challenges ahead, Tyrell couldn’t help but feel that this experience, as bizarre as it had been, might just be the turning point he needed.
