You are heading home from school, cutting across old man Peterson's fields as you always do when you look up in time to see the glowing meteorite plummet towards you. Then darkness swallows you.
You wake in a seemingly strange room, but your wits soon recover and realize that you're in a hospital and fumble for the nurses call button.
The nurse who answers your call is Cyndi, or so the ID badge over her 36CC breasts reads. "Oh my goodness you're awake!"
"How long?" You ask, your voice sounding strangely smooth and melodic.
"You've been here for 8 months since the accident." Cyndi says softly. You notice that she has become much more relaxed for some reason.
"What happened to me?"
Cyndi sighs as her arms fall loosely at her sides. "We're not quite sure. Your tests are coming back with strange results, no trace of the meteorite that hit you was found, and your eyes changed."
"Changed how? And why are you acting like this?"
"Your voice is so relaxing. I want to do whatever you say."
"Get me a mirror." You command. Like a puppet, Cyndi produces a mirror and holds it before you. Much to your surprise your eyes, which were once emerald green are now a brilliant gold. "What happened to me?"
Although the question was for yourself, Cyndi answers for you. "The doctors theorize that whatever hit you was absorbed into your body. They think the radiation may have changed you into something more than human."
You raise your head and ask, "Cyndi, are my eyes really gold?"
As Cyndi looks into your eyes to answer your question you notice her body start to slump, her breathing slow further, and her eyes glaze over. "Yessss... they... arrrrre."
Factoring in the slow slurred speech you realize Cyndi is in a hypnotic trance. A glance out the window shows to be late at night.
Chloe was a mess – she’d used her rabbit vibrator on and in her pussy every night for the last week and it wasn’t bringing her the satisfaction it usually did. She hadn’t been able to sleep without it, and that sleep wasn’t very restful. She would still toss and turn all night only to wake up exhausted and frustrated.Actually, she hadn’t slept well for the last three years since her husband had died, but the past week had been extra rough, and she didn’t know why. The truth was – she knew why,...
SupernaturalI got a good nights sleep once my "company" left after last nights festivities but, was awakened by a woman screaming. I grapped my squirrel rifle and moved off in the direction the screaming was coming from. I came over the top of a small hill and there was a beautiful blonde haired woman fighting to get away from a burly looking trapper. I didn't care about the background of what transpired just that this woman was about to be raped and who knows what else by this backwoodsman and I...
My wife and I have been married for a few years now and have been involved in the swinging lifestyle for the past few years. After a short break we swapped with some friends of ours and got back into wanting to swing. Since then we have been looking for a new guy to join us. I am straight so we had been looking for another straight male to basically add an extra cock for the wife to play with. My wife found a guy she was interested in and has been sexting, exchanging pics and videos, and...
After 3 years without a vacation for ourselves, my wife and I were finally able to book a cruise in the Caribbean for an entire week. It was to be a much needed break from a stressful job and the full time 24/7 commitment of being parents. I was also hoping that it would be an opportunity to spice things up a bit. Our sex life wasn't bad, but the commitments of work and family rarely left us with the time and energy to play. Even then, we had gotten into a rut of doing pretty much the same...
THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT WRITING A STORY, IF IT GETS POSITIVE COMMENTS I WILL WRITE MORE, ENJOY.It all started after 20 years of happy marriage, my daughter had grown up and left home, leaving just me and my wife. She had become ill over the last few years and pretty much confined to bed, because of this our sex life had become less and less frequent to the point it was almost non existent. She was very understanding about my needs and encouraged me to masturbate as often as I needed to and...
I really still don’t know why, to this day, i said i would go with Ross to the Stag night. It was probably one of my more stupid decisions in life!! I’d met Ross a couple of times before, mostly at the S Club in Merton. Ross was about twenty three, really good looking, and loved the whole cross dressing scene but didn’t dress himself and described himself as an ardent ‘admirer’. He’d approached me at the bar one night and we’d got talking. Although I was much much older than him it only seemed...

xmoviesforyouThis my story that happened in April 2019. I was having pain in my lower back so I went to a doctor and after the examination, she said, “it’s better you don’t take pain killers but do some yoga for relief.” I told her that I had never done yoga. She advised me to join some yoga classes near where I live. Then I found a gym near me where they were offering yoga classes. I went there and enquired and then enrolled myself for the yoga classes. The charges for one month was Rs. 1000 and the...

Consent By Michele Nylons Chapter Five - You Can Bin Them or Keep Them Peter Duffy knocked gently on the door to Adele's office. It was nearly midnight and the law office was devoid of staff. Celia was at her monthly dinner date with her mother, a chore she hated but tolerated. It meant staying overnight or driving for three hours to get back home and as Celia required at least two cocktails before dinner and a half-bottle of Shiraz with dinner just to get through the ordeal,...
Zack had finished counting down the first register of the night. He just had to wait on time now. The parts store he worked at closed at 9, and they rarely had business after 8. Why they even stayed open was anybody’s guess. He and his closer for the night, Chastity, usually started their duties around 8:30, so they could leave almost as soon as they closed. Right now he was watching the front as she swept the store. Chastity was not herself today, and was a lot less talkative than usual. They...
Straight SexIt started as a schoolboy attending an all boys boarding school where there was plenty of sexual tension, where there was one boy in particular who would give anyone who had a spare cigarette a slow wonderful blow job. Right now you have the beginning let me bring you forward to the present day some 30 years on, I was at a London attraction when a guy asked me if I attended the school I did and as I confirmed I did he introduced himself as the same boy now man (who would give a blowjob for a...
The burning need and the fevered insane desire to see her naked constantly were sated for now. Lucas was able to actually spend a week doing work. He would see her move out of the corner of his eye across the way, and pause for a minute to enjoy seeing her in action. She was focused and determined. He could almost see the determined set of her jaw from a building away. It was the same look she got when she was trying to convince him that she deserved the last cookie, or working at the snap on...

Hi all my name is Joe and this is the story about how Alexis and I first hooked up at a Halloween costume party last year. Ever since the first day she started working at the telemarketing firm I was at, I looked at her as the object of all my sexual desires. She would walk past my cube and I would start to stiffen with sexual excitement, and if I didn't know better she was feeling the same way. We were always flirting and bantering when we had our breaks, looking back it must have been fate...
Straight SexIn an earlier story, I described how Jennifer, an online friend, challenged me to flash myself at my sixteen year-old step-nephew. At the time, Timmy was staying with us while is parents were away. My husband, Tom, and our daughters were also away so I was alone with Timmy. Somewhat to my surprise, I did as Jennifer instructed and ended up fucking Timmy. That led to three days of almost continual sexual arousal on my part. He was insatiable with an amazingly quick recovery time.It took me...
MILFThe day was glorious – sunny and bright and I was going to be stuck at the University planning for a conference. On my way into the city on the train I wondered how Alis day would go. She was planning to sunbath and work on a tan. She had a short workout and a little steam and drug out the sun lounger from the shed and set it up in the sun. It was a hand-made wooden affair from the local trees. We have had two of them for years. She laid out her nice and plush bath towel and oiled herself up...
The RatArmy King sat on his throne, one hand under his chin, the other tapping nervously on the handrail. "I am bored", he said to no one in particular. He didn't had a decent fuck in hours. And with his sexual appetite, that was quite unusual. "You there!" he said to one of his goons, "C'me here and suck my dick". The servant obeyed him blindly and King Rentokil PenetRATion's dick responded immediately to the warm mouth. He looked down from his throne how the little Mouse sucked him off with...
The Most Wonderful Follow-Up: The True Meaning Of Christmas By Katharine Sexkitten I left the security guard clothes in the public washroom. They smelled. In fact they reeked. No doubt about it. Up until earlier this morning, I would have thought the odor was unusual, and not altogether attractive. Now I thought they smelled like heaven. They were completely covered in my own cum, more or less dried. I remember vividly making the mess. It was more cum than I'd ever...
You mind if I rant for a minute, O? Jesus loves me, this I know. All my music tells me so. All of the posters on my wall and all of the friends my parents want me to hang out with say the same thing. I guess it's pretty much fucking unanimous. Jesus loves me, even though I'm a fucking lesbian. Not because I'm a lesbian, mind you. The manual states it clearly, I've been told. He loves me despite my sinning ways. I guess that's the way it goes, though. Jesus loves a fucking project. He...

It was an odd day for a Thursday. Normally, the afternoon was the busiest time for Stefano's doctor's rooms, but today there were no patients at all. He decided to give Mrs Winterbottom the afternoon off as he knew she was going to a birthday party later and needed to go get a gift. It was the perfect time to catch up on some reading that he wanted to do from the latest issue of the New England Journal of Medicine."Cheers, Doctor," Mrs Winterbottom said as she left. "I will see you...
BDSMAmy sat down next to me in astronomy class this morning after she caught me kissing Kim in their apartment. I was afraid that she would be angry with me, but instead she looked happier than I had ever seen her. I guess her breakup with Nick was actually good for her. As the other students were filing into the classroom, Amy reached over and grabbed my face in both of her hands. Then she gave me a soft kiss on my lips and whispered, "I love you." Before I had a chance to respond, Professor...

xmoviesforyouOh, we were just playing around. My best friend Suzie and I, and, somehow she talked me into letter her shave my pussy. I know, all girls do that nowadays but not me. I'm extremely shy about my body and even letting Suzie see me naked was very nerve-wracking. But, after an afternoon in the hot tub and a couple...okay a few margaritas, I let her slip off my bathing suit and see my youthful body. My tits are not real big but they're just right for me and my nipples? Well, Suzie called them...
Fiona and I settled in and found that most of the gladiators were married, so Fiona had a bunch of women that she could talk to about the problems with their husbands, you know, the standard things that wives talk about. I got along well with the other men, except, as expected, there were a couple of prima donnas that were sure that I was trying to muscle in on their territory. Hell, I didn't care how many boyfriends they had, and I sure was not interested in joining in, so I just ignored...
This was going to be one Wednesday morning that he didn't have to mess around in the mail room, Mike thought to himself as he walked into Kutzley's office the next morning, carrying a handful of the first papers that Webb had brought back from Camden. Fortunately, he'd been able to get that Sanford woman off into a corner following the meeting, and get a little more detail about the Endangered Species Act and its impact on the sewer problem than what he'd heard at the meeting, so his...

LesbianI now saw Elaine pretty well every time I went to the Health Club. We said our hello's, asking after each other's health and worked out, apart from a smile that was all the contact we had. Until a couple of weeks had gone by. She came up to me as I was getting my adrenalin pumping on the treadmill. "Do you think we could have another coffee?" She asked. "Of course." I answered. "Shall I see you outside in twenty?" "Great. I'll be there." It was a good feeling driving with...
Stopforths Story.By Gill Byrd.I was eightteen when I had the best sex I ever had; before or since.In those days my main source of gratification was a wank over a nudie book! Let's start off with the truth; I'd never had sex!I was a fairly solitary youth, happy with my own company. You would probably call me a bit of a wimp and a geek in today?s parlance. Girls didn't seem to fancy me, and blokes didn't try to enlist me into their games and schemes, but I had a couple of mates who liked the...
One of you asked for my version of how I came to work for Babs and Sean.My name is Becca and I’m not very good at writing so I have asked my employer, Sean, to help me but made him promise to only clean it up and not to change my words. I close to finishing my second year of college and needed a job and a place to stay. I listed with several temp agencies and was searching online when I got a phone call from one of the agencies telling me that I had a job interview that afternoon. I got excited...
Roberts joined his colleagues for dinner that night, the staff room full of middle-aged men dining on beef bourguignon, one of the chef’s specialties. Like everything else at the Geneva School for Girls, Headmaster Walker had spared no expense when it came to manning the school’s kitchens. A lucrative salary, residence in a hilltop villa, and of course, a description of the school’s ‘specialized curriculum’ when it came to dealing with the student body (or bodies), had been enough to entice a...
Author's Note: Apologies that I've been away for so long. Hopefully with the end of the quarantine on the horizon, I'll be able to get back to writing "my sissy stories" on a regular basis. In the meantime, here's a quick piece of fiction about what I wish would have happened to me during the lockdown. FYI--the first meeting really happened. The rest is what I wish would have happened over these past few months. I hope you enjoy the fantasy, especially if you're a Master who wants to...
"I'm through with guys!" grunted Laura as she threw her jacket onto the floor. "Yeah, me too" mumbled Alexis through a mouthful of popcorn. Slumping down on the sofa Laura took a handful of Alexis's popcorn and began to watch the movie. She had a glazed expression on her face. Gulping down her last handful of popcorn Alexis gazed over to fifteen year old sister Laura. 'Fuck, sis is so cute when she eats.' Laura turned to face Alexis, who was smiling at her. "You okay Lex?"...

All of my life from the time I was about 12 to now at 25, I have had an obsession with women. It is not that I like them (which I most certainly do) but more that I want to be like them, act like them, and most importantly dress like them. It started when I was very young and developed an interest in the legs and nylons of women which I found fascinating. The sheer and soft material was incredible to look at and to touch. I was entranced with the way girls' legs would look with them...
As you're doing that I smile to think that it was my mother who started me down the road to becoming this girl in the mirror, and now you're finishing the job she abandoned. I watch us in the mirror as you begin to fuck me, my breasts hanging heavy and low, my earrings and my pendant all swaying in time to your thrusts. I lower myself onto my elbows so that as my breasts swing back and forth beneath me my nipples are just barely rubbing against the bed cover, sending little jolts of...

My friends eighteen year old son was coming over to help me put some boxes up in my bedroom. He was a handsome boy but shy. That day I dressed in a thong and a over-sized shirt with just one button fastened. I wore no bra. When Jes arrived he just stared at my body.

Adomm – Making the Most of It John breathed. And breathed again. And continued to do so. Each one getting faster than the last. He scratched his scalp through his short, dark brown hair and squirmed in his seat. Only five minutes to go, but time was flowing sporadically. He checked his bleached black suit for the thousandth time, but at this point he felt he no longer had time to fix any wrinkles that mysteriously continued to appear. When he checked his watch, the seconds dragged on, but the...
The ferry docked with a clunk, and passengers were let off while the peddlers go their wagons ready. The docks were busy, as travellers departed riverboats, new arrivals asked for directions, longshoremen hustled about their work, and sailor meandered about. “Aaaah!” Katriana sighed aloud while stretching her back, or at least as much as she could in her mail, once we were on shore. “Wooden benches don’t work for me. I’d almost rather have had to swim.” I glanced around the busy docks, only...

First Time"Relax, Brother, no need to be so uptight." 'We are not brothers," Kolkev thought angrily. The older man who had just spoken, Fernando Espa, was of Portuguese descent. The nightclub owner had a little bit of a paunch, but his body still carried a fair amount of muscle. He sat naked on the couch beside a fully clothed Kolkev Jaru. The MMA fighter was impatient to get this meeting over with, but the nightclub owner seemed totally oblivious to his guest's discomfort. He was too busy...

I thought I'd have a good life after I graduated two weeks ago. I mean, who wouldn't after placing first in my class? Yeah, the last year I pretty much threw away my social life in order tostudy. Honestly, I'd never taken anything seriously, but certain circumstances had forced me to make sure I was in the right position to get a good paying job. And what were these circumstances exactly? Well, for one, I wanted to get paid! But yeah, I'd say my parents disowning me for never putting enough...
FantasyMy legs shook as I nervously waited in the Biology room near the window. My peach book bag was slung over my shoulder while I clung my textbook to my chest.“Are you waiting for someone?” I snapped my head up at Mr. Scott who was now standing in the doorway across from me. “Yes,” I said, snapping my head to look over my shoulder and out the window in an attempt to hide the blush that was creeping across my cheeks. I always got weak around Mr. Scott.“Might I ask whom?” I turned my head back to...
TeenIt is best to read “Incest is Truly Best”, to understand this story. I’m Jack, 52, 5’ 10, 175 lbs, brown hair, in good shape. I am divorced so many years now, over 20, that I can hardly remember why I even got married to the ex. She was a control freak and very obsessive. It lasted a mere 3 years. No kids, so it was an easy split. I have a small, 3 bedroom home, nothing fancy, but I like it. I do date, but never wanted to be tied down again, so I try to pick women who also do not want any...

So You Want To Be A Nurse By Michele Nylons Chapter Four - The Explanation As if on cue the telephone rang. It was Polly. "Hope it wasn't too bad Michele; meet me at the Boar's Head pub at five pm honey; I have to go." Polly hung up. Michele removed her clothing and tossed the soiled lingerie, along with the lingerie she had worn yesterday into the washer. She scrubbed off her makeup, removed her breastforms and removed nailpolish. She had another shower, dressed as...
Paul had no difficulty gaining entrance into the Palais de Plaisir once he showed proof of identity and paid the exorbitant fee. Inasmuch as the establishment only catered to notables and people of wealth, the ugly looking Frenchman at the door seemed pleased to welcome a guest from the American Embassy. He was immediately handed over into the care of an extremely attractive young Moroccan girl, whom, he was certain, would not have been yet fifteen, and whom, he felt sure, he recognized from...
Not that it was something earth-shattering, nor would it change their relationship, but he had expected her to follow through. Now, she had disappointed him. Let him down. Certainly there were extenuating circumstances, yet were they enough to counter the infraction? She worried what he would say: what he would do. He was due back in three hours and retribution would be swift. She knew the penalties for disobedience, but there was no way she would know his choice. There was no hesitation; she...

IncestI had placed an ad in The Daily Sun for a cocktail waitress the previous Sunday and we received over 30 responses. I scheduled an entire day for interviews and lined up 10 applicants for Wednesday. I was really looking forward to the interviews as interviewing waitresses was always a highlight. The place was essentially a rip-off of Hooters. The waitresses wore short shorts or mini skirts and tank tops tied in a knot around their midriff. We classified the waitresses as models and paid...
