Letter #1
When I was in grad school I was single and contentedly so. The year I graduated with a BA in Literature, M and I broke up. We were engaged the summer between my junior and senior years to be married. I helped her move her things from Portland to Chicago that summer, she was starting Law School, I would finish at PSU and join her summer of my graduation. We did a tour of National Parks on the way and I proposed to her on the first night in her new flat, a last-ditch effort to demonstrate my love for her. I harbored suspicions regarding the whole long-distance thing, they'd never worked out in the past. By the time my final year was winding to a close, M decided she wasn't coming to my graduation. I'd already arranged for my parents, brothers, sisters, nieces, and aunt to come. Hotels, dinner reservations, the whole nine yards, and M just didn't come.
I learned later that she'd found someone, and I knew she would. Going through the first year of Law at an Ivy League program is like a crucible, survival depends on a metamorphosis happening and when M experienced hers, I wasn't around to share in it. Everything was out of context and I was devastated when she finally sent me an email explaining. I knew I'd never find another woman like her and I didn't want to try.
I powered through and got accepted to an Education program in Portland. I was rooming with a group of really good friends in this mansion in Close-in Southeast. We were all in our late 20s/early 30s, all of us hustlers and go-getters but free from the corporate grasp, we were typical Portlanders of the era.
I had the attic and my own shower/bathroom. Privacy was important because I'd amassed a nice cross-dressing collection of panties, hosiery, and chemises and when I masturbated I liked to dress up and play with my vibrator.
At this stage I was just a submissive cross-dresser. M and I had elevated my experiences, I'd sucked her strap-on and she'd awkwardly tried once to fuck me with it. But mostly we did a lot of panty play. She had a mean streak that was lovely and humiliating. She was very vocal and liked to degrade me and shame me. But I loved it. She had a way of knowing exactly how to humiliate me. A simple look in public could inspire fear in my heart. Once, we were in a lingerie boutique and she caught me eyeing the wide-net fishnets and she laughed out loud and asked me if those were the kind of hose I like to wear.
She could push me so far. But I did the same for her. We were sitting in my truck one Saturday morning at a waterfront park along the Columbia. Usually very busy, but it was early on a weekend and the crowd hadn't started to gather yet. We were having coffee and a snack and I dared her to take off her shorts. Then I dared her to take off her shirt, then to go over to the nearest garbage can and throw away our trash, and when she did I locked the door and took off. She seemed to love it.
During the year between undergrad and grad school I just worked. All the overtime I could get. I traveled around for work, leaving on a Monday and returning usually Thursday or Friday. This gave me plenty of opportunities to play, and to buy new outfits. That's the biggest fear of a crossdresser, getting caught buying panties and being "out of town" most days made it easy.
At that time, the panties and outfits were just role-playing with M, fantasies that I'd concoct. Every time I masturbated I had some specific memory associated with M. If I masturbated and I slapped my smoothly shaved balls with the tips of my fingers, increasing in firmness and frequency, I was remembering the many times M and J had done this to me while I stroked myself. If I was inserting my dildo in my shaven ass, it was because I was remembering when J or M used theirs on me. Fucking me and calling me humiliating things that seemed only to encourage me more.
By the time grad school started I had shifted my mindset. I stopped with the crossdressing, except for rare occasions. Back then I would masturbate and most times I would be done in 10 or 15 minutes. Even less when panties were involved. I had no problem focusing on academics and work, masturbation was something I did to realign myself, get back on track.
That's when I met MH. A Mormon single mom of six kids. She was a tiny thing, but kind, sincere, and sexy in a conservative way, maternal I'd say. It was my first year of the Ed program and like Law school it was a crucible. MH and I hit it off. I was just friendly with her, curious about Mormonism, curious about how she could have six kids, curious about the way she seemed to notice me. I had no romantic interest in her, but I did think she was attractive, I did like talking to her.
On a whim, after hanging out with her and her family for the day, I asked her on a date. I made her dinner at the mansion, we had a candle-lit dinner on a warm spring evening on the back veranda and it was so easy. I had not inhibitions with her because I knew I wasn't "courting" her in the sense that you might imagine. I knew about her devotion to her religion, she made it clear that she was not promiscuous. It was like going out with a really good friend who was a woman, and to whom I was strangely attracted.
We went to a movie and halfway through we were holding hands. We walked out of the theatre still holding hands. I walked her home and kissed her goodnight at her door. It was a loving kiss that I only intended to be brief and affectionate. It turned into passion and it went on much longer than I expected. She seemed to "love" me with her kisses and I reciprocated on every action.
And that's how it started. It wasn't even announced, we just kept hanging out as a family, we'd go on "dates", I'd drop her off and we would make out for 30, 45 minutes and even longer. I would leave every night with sore testicles. MH had no idea about my crossdressing. No idea that I kept my crotch and ass smoothly shaven. She only knew me as a man.
I never wore panties with her and her family. I was wearing them often under my clothes. I wore VF full-cut nylon pastel-colored panties under my clothes, panties had simply become my preferred undergarment of choice. I still had a bunch of microfibre, skin-tight boxers that were nearly like wearing panties, and I wore these when I was with MH and her kids.
Our makeout sessions were very intense. During this time, because of the way we kissed, I found "lesbian Japanese girls kissing" videos on YouTube. Our kissing was so intense that it struck me one night to search up "kissing" and "lesbian kissing" to kind of reinforce our makeout sessions. Kissing MH was a total body and mind experience. I always put myself into this kind of trance. I was trying to lure MH into a heated state of arousal. I was trying to get her so turned on that she would break her "code" of no sex.
