“Ahhh!” the woman screamed as your tongue penetrated her pussy, hitting her g-spot and driving her over the edge. Her naked covered in sweat body, arched as she shook with an orgasm that was the finalization of an hour of love-making. She stays motionless that way for a moment before collapsing on the bed, unconscious.
You smile – this is the least that you could do in return for the
[A1] cunnilingus {you're a female} {3}
[A2] blow-job {you're a male} {4}
Anna gave you.
You stand up, taking a sight of the beautiful young female, lying on drenched sheets. There is no small amount of pride in your own skills, with which you managed to achieve this.
But all pleasure must come to an end.
You put on your clothes, grab the case that the woman left next to her discarded clothes and leave her room. It takes you but five minutes to reach your flat – you live on the other side of the street.
As you are about to open the case you hear a car stopping before the building. You carefully raise the curtain to get a better view. Four people got out of the car – 3 males and an attractive female, all wearing black suits (and skirt in brunette's case). They quickly enter the building that you were in just a few minutes ago.
After fifteen minutes they walk out of the building, a bulky male and a female first, then the two agents... with walking Anna between them. Her skin is white as a sheet, probably due to the situation she found herself in, and her hands are cuffed. She's wearing a high-heels and a gray coat tied with belt – as you look closer you easily spot her naked breast and bare pussy underneath sticking out from beneath of her coat with each of her moves. It seems that all she was allowed to wear were high-heels and coat.
She is sited on the back seat of the car – between two males. Before even the door closed, one of the men released his monstrous member from his trousers. Anna immediately lowered her head and started vigorously sucking the hard dick, probably with the hope that it will please the man and convince him to be more lenient with her. You doubt that it will help her overall situation, except maybe buying her some time... but a drowning woman will clutch at a straw, you guess.
The car started and drove off, leaving you alone.
The men were from internal service of this country -

They arrested Anna for a treason against her country. If she will be lucky she will be sent with a life sentence to a political prison... but considering her low position in the department, they really have no reason to keep her alive, so it is more probable that they will just execute her. Of course, she might manage to convince them to keep her alive with her 'mouth work'.
The doubt in her guilt never crossed your mind – after all, she did show you quite a few sensitive documents during the 2 months of your relationship. You didn't resist, on the contrary, you encouraged her, to impress you more. So she brought even more secret documents. She never knew you were a spy – she just wanted to impress you to drag you to bed. You don't have a pity for the woman – in your profession, a pity and a mercy to the enemy are the fastest ways to the grave. To you Anna was
[C1] an enemy to be used and destroyed.
[C2] a traitor – dangerous tool, that should be disposed of right after it served its purpose.
[C3] planted intelligence agent, a useful tool. {7}

You sight and start packing. While Anna was a good source of information, her time came to an end. It will take a little time, for her to crack under the interrogation (that she will crack before they will even get to torture - you have no doubt) and tell the agents about you. You will be long gone before they will come. It's time to return to your country,

Mind ControlThe City of Syrada The City of Syrada was established nearly a thousand years ago. It started as a fortress on top a large hill but quickly grew due to its easy-to-defend location. It was ruled by a Council that became known as "The Council of Nobles". Its members became the city’s first nobles. For centuries Syrada prospered as an independent city-state. Then from the north came the Tynian Empire, named after its first self-proclaimed Empress Tynia. The city’s rulers realized that they could...
FantasyQuest for the Silver Cleric Chapter 5: The Quest sets sail We all turned and I saw a large woman standing at the entrance to the courtyard. She was at least six and half feet tall and had a large double-bladed axe hung over her shoulders. "Tesmi? We thought you lost in the forest beyond the fence," the king said. "It was a near thing, my king. But I survived my scouting mission. The reports we've had are true, The Weres are back in the forest in numbers." "Any sign from the...

This beautiful woman in the nice summer cabin over at the hillside, charmingly overlooking the east end of the long beach. Since I didn?t know her or her family - and neither did my parents - I got used to think of her just as the ?cabin lady?.She must have been in her mid- thirties, a dark blond, classical type beauty, just the kind of woman that got me drooling all...
This story takes place in a land named Cerise where a war has been waging for decades. One side would gain an advantage, only to lose it weeks, months or years later. In this world The Goddess of life ruled over, and she hated death above anything else. People could die naturally but not by another person. Instead everyone had life points, and when that number dropped to zero, the Goddess herself would pick them up by magic panties and place them on the tree of life to hang by their underwear...

Chapter 4: Companions are chosen When I woke, it was morning. A young girl came to my door and led me to the privy. After I finished, I thought, "You don't know how much you appreciate modern toilets until you're somewhere without them." She then led me to a small dining room, and I grabbed a quick bite to eat, making sure she had some, as well. Once we were done, she said, "Lady, the king asked me to give you a tour of the city." "That sounds wonderful. Lead on." Our tour took...

“Peanut, I’m going to be traveling for a bit,” Master told me as I was lounging on top of him. I just sucked a load of his sperm into my mouth, and was feeling quite content just being next to him. I knew by now it was hormones and stuff from the collar, but I was starting to look forward to the closeness I felt just being there. As soon as he fell asleep, I would be a good little whore and retire to my little spot on the floor. Immediately, I panicked. I don’t know how I would survive...
Natasha woke up in a warm womb with low lights emanating from candles on the walls of what looked like a temple. The statue of a beautiful naked woman looked at her and smiled. It was the naked woman in her vision! Natasha was frightened and excited at the same time. But his was no mere mortal she saw, but a statue of the Goddess that came to life. “Who are you?” Natasha wanted to make sure that this wasn’t a dream. “I am Calypso, the Goddess of Love,” came the sweet voice from the statue. “I...
Author Note: This is an experimental Quest story I have wanted to try for a while. Unlike Adventures in Syrada this quest will have strategy elements: Gathering resources, creating an army (or multiple armies), gaining control over territories, etc. Though the strategy elements won't come up until after the first few chapters. The world of Karladia is one of many worlds in the universe. In that world there's just one continent, also called Karladia. No one is sure if the world is named after...

“Ah! Ah! Ahhh!” A woman screamed as she climaxed. The orgasm was strong enough to knock her unconscious. Her body was dragged to the side, as another woman slowly impaled herself on, now free, erect shaft. You observed all of this, knowing that soon it would be your turn. You kneeled naked on the floor, grinding your pussy against the toes of The Only Man in the room while massaging his leg with your breasts. You couldn’t help, but moan, as his toes brushed over your clit, before diving into...
FantasyQuest for the Silver Cleric Chapter 2: The Ballad of the Silver Cleric I found myself answering before I even had a chance to think about my answer, "I am both." He took a deep breath. "Then you are the one we've been hoping for." I took a peek at Aeneas. He was still in "soldier-mode" and his expression was blank. I found myself feeling terribly upset by the prospect of driving him away due to the ugly bits between my legs. I forced myself to pay attention to the...
Chapter 3: A Thief in the night She looked at the deformity between my legs and said, "Does it .... work?" "More than I would like. It has been mostly a source of grief for me." "Grief?" "Because of it, I have suffered much," I found myself telling my life story for the second time that day. "Poor child." She gave me a hug and I noticed that I didn't get a reaction from down below. "Now for your bath." The bath was filled with milk. Goat's milk, I'm assuming, but I...
Quest for the Silver Cleric Chapter 6: A Rogue's tale: Author's note: Again, it turns out this chapter is a short one. So there will be another posting tomorrow. I waited until the others had turned in and followed Orien. He saw me, and said, "I thought you were taken with the sailor, but here you are trying to find my bed?" "I'm after information, not sex. What's your story?" He sighed. "I suppose you do have a right to know. Many years ago, after the Silver Cleric defeated the...
December, 2001, King Saul Blvd, Israel. Imi Morgenstern tried not to roll his eyes as his director of personnel continued his rant for what must have been the second year in a row. If Morgenstern didn’t know any better, he would have sworn that nothing got done in Human Resources but kvetching. ‘We still have all of these new kids who come in thinking that this is going to be all James Bond all the time, ‘ Yossi continued. ‘I mean, who wants to come into Mossad to be some oversexed goy?’ ...
The twin glass doors silently parted from each other as a silent woman walked through them. Wearing black clothing; from undershirt, pants, jacket- even belt- the silent stature moved itself to stand in front of the widely-spaced desk. Sitting with its chair back to the guest, another figure remained. The wall this man was facing was covered with countless amounts of paintings and other items hung precisely from the wall or small shelves pretruding from it. The doors from which the...

Spy By Shrike. It had sounded so good, a new chance at the company and his mistake forgotten. But if he knew then what the consequences would be, he would have never done it. Maybe they wouldn't have asked him in the first place, if he hadn't botched the last job he did for the CIA. Although it wasn't all his fault, he just reacted badly to an unforeseen event. After his boss asked how he would like to have an increase in pay and a guarantee to become the best spy in the world, Daniel...
I also went through a big peeking stage that i am not proud of. I used to go to a nightclub with mixed sex toilets, one of the cubicles had a crack in the joining wall where you could just see through a crack to catch glimpses at first and eventually when i worked out the positions get incredible views of the girls in the club a lot of which i knew lifting up their skirts or pulling down their trousers to expose their young pussies and asses. I had no interest in the peeing etc, but it was a...
Quest for the Silver Cleric Author's note. At the beginning of this story there are some words in different languages from English, used mostly to show the fact our heroine doesnt understand what's being said at first. It doesnt last long, so hopefully, it wont be too annoying. Chapter 1: Falling through the cracks It was supposed to be a simple visit to the country. A weekend off work, meet a few of the girls, and head out. We went to the mountains, and it was beautiful at...
Chapter 7 The Companions Leave the Elves. "What do you mean, you don't know where we go?" "The exact resting place of the Cleric was kept a secret so no one but the worthy party could find it." "Then, where do we go next?" "I'm afraid that's up to you, my lady." "I told you before. I have no special abilities. And that includes any special knowledge of where this Cleric is buried." "I actually anticipated your saying that, my Lady. Here. Let me show you a map or our...
Prologue In the swirling mist of forgotten history, one solitary god, the marble white deity, Phallus, reigned supreme over all of Kharbah, the land of men. At the foot of the Cold Mountains stood his High Temple, overseeing the walled city of Je’Mah. Inside the temple, on the black throne of power in the dark divine chamber, sat the five foot naked god, hidden behind his enormous erect phallus. His pride and joy stood three feet high between his legs, its circumference of two and a half...
Fantasy & Sci-FiOn Thursday morning, during her scheduled run through Hyde Park, Sally’s long blonde hair was tied behind her head. Running past the statue of Peter Pan, along the lake and up a small incline, the sexy dancer felt a lightness in her step she could not explain. The sensation was not enough to warn her about what was to happen to her.She was too busy figuring out how to throw out her boyfriend, Jake, and how she got involved with him in the first place. She did not even notice the dazzling...
Fantasy & Sci-FiIt is midnight. I am sitting at my computer naked, masturbating. If you are thinking I am camming or watching porn you are wrong. Well, not entirely wrong.I married Tom in 2001. It was the second marriage for both of us. At the time we married my daughter was already a freshman in high school, and Tom’s son Zack was nine. It was a rather uncomfortable fit from the beginning, because even though Tom and I love each other very much, as a career Navy man he was prone to be off on sea duty...
Well. Summer is almost over and it has been fun. Days I am not working I have been spending either jogging or laying out by my pool working on my all over tan.

Arnold Bond has always been referred to as a geek, dweeb or nerd, and humiliated by his high school peers. It was partly because he looked the part of a geek with two left feet. And he never stood up for himself. Some of the pranks ranged from shoving him in his gym locker to sending his boxers up the flag pole. He thought his life would change in college but nothing was different except his cock had grown to an enormous size. He had become a skinny kid with a gigantic cock. The harsh pranks...

HistoricalI was eating at a restaurant alone at the bar. A man came by to strike up a conversation with me. He seemed nice at first but then started to become pushy. He was very arrogant, which was a turn off for me. I had already finished my meal and was getting tired of his company. I was getting ready to leave but the man kept talking to me. Apparently, it must have showed in my face that the man was annoying me that another gentleman walked up from behind me, placed his hand on my back, said hi...

I am not a morning person, never have been, and staying up late as an exotic dancer and sex worker accentuated that. But when my naked ass received an almighty slap, I woke with a start, yelped, and leapt out of bed, rubbing my ass cheek.“Nadu,” my Master’s voice snapped.I immediately dropped to my knees into position.“Obeisance.”I fell forward, hands in front of me, face down, in a display of willing submission.Hans waited for a while to drive the point home that no matter what happened last...

BDSMDale was remembering the time, six years ago, when she was first spanked.

The sentiments Caroline had expressed in her 'journal' concerning Jarvis indicated she had no inkling of the murderous, child molesting brute lurking within him. She must never know. The shock, and horror, of being so close to such a fiend and not realising his true character, indeed being married to such a monster, would probably cast her into a deep depression. Never fear, my love; where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise. The rest of Caroline's letter had been written after she...

Warning – this story is not for faint hearted! It contains many dark themes and death of characters! You’ve been warned! Two people kneeled in front of the woman. Her athletic build and visible muscles showed that she was no stranger to hard physical work, yet she was still nice to the eye and her frame carried an impressive bust. Her black hair flowed down her back, her face features were sharp and her blue eyes narrow giving her look of someone who carried an elvish blood in her veins. Lady...

Well, they were scribbled on the door of a Chinese restroom stall. Of course I thought they were profanties at first. "Teleportoloo!" I recited one, not knowing what it was... The next second I was quite surprised to find myself standing in the guys' restroom! Immediately the noise of splashing water stopped as all of the guys at...

Night looms over a field of grass trees scatter the area. One dome tent that fits about three adults inside stands right beside a Red Ford Ranger Truck. A white man wearing a white sleeve less shirt, a pair of black leather biker gloves, blue jeans with a worn out brown belt around the waist, and a pair of dark black hiking shoes walks out of the tent.
FantasyYarba looked at Randith riding his cock, admiring her heavy tits bumping up and down. For the High Priestess of Calypso and despite her age, a mere 150, she had the appearance of a thirty-year-old and the fucking energy of a teenager. The grip she put on his cock with her cunt was an indication of her experience in the art of fucking. It was as if her cunt was sucking his prick, milking him dry of every ounce of fluid. He had to hurry to make her come and he just knew how. Trying to grab her...
Fantasy & Sci-FiIt was pretty late, and the sun had begun to set not too long ago. I shrugged it off and figured that since I turned 19 and moved out recently, I can do whatever I want. I wasn’t the best looking dude, but I definitely wasn’t the worst. Especially in a small town like this, I’d probably rate myself on the more attractive side if it didn’t sound narcissistic. The girl I was looking at seemed similar in age, so I decided to approach her. She had curly dark hair which complimented her rather...
It felt like I was asleep for just a few minutes, but when my eyes finally opened, the rays of the early morning sunlight beamed the empty room awake. I groaned and immediately, everything began to come back to me as I realized my voice was.. different. I went to move my arms, but unfortunately, they were still tied to the bedframe from last night! “F-fuck..” I managed to choke out. My voice felt scratchy, and it sounded.. it sounded way higher pitched than normal, but it was still a...
The morning brought more strangeness. Nilsen was somewhat wary of how Makro would feel about their new sexual relationship given the light of day. He was afraid she would regret it and avoid him but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact if anything she almost smothered him for most of the day. They would have had trouble separating her from his arm with a crowbar if anyone had been foolish enough to try. That didn't bother him overly much, other than the time she tried to follow...
Earlier that morning, false dawn was bleeding just enough light into the room for Nilsen to see when he woke up. Momentarily confused by the bodies pressed up against him and the limbs seemingly intertwined in random fashion, he quickly remembered what it was all about. Damn, he smiled, I could really get used to this. Moving slowly he extricated himself without waking the four women and relieved his complaining bladder in the bathing room. Finished, he looked back to the bed with longing but...
Time passes differently for the young and old. The preparations for the journey progressed but Nilsen was positive that nothing was getting done. His poise and maturity could fool most people but at the heart of it all Nil was still an eighteen-season young man and once something was decided he wanted it done now! Makro wasn't much better but at least she had this wonderful new toy to play with at night which had a tendency to keep her somewhat subdued during the day. In some respects it did...
"I was hoping I'd get to see more of you," Demeter said one day as he and Nilsen sat in the shade under a tree in the palace gardens. "I heard about this trip you're going on. What's that all about? Nobody will say much about it other than it's far away. Why so secret?" "It's a trade mission," Nil told his friend. He didn't like misleading Demeter but he understood why the real reason behind it had to be kept as quiet as possible. Besides, he was going on a trade mission; it's...
"Does it look familiar?" Nil asked Lavender as they stood side by side in the bow. "I think so," she shrugged noncommittally. Before them was a modest-sized port of low buildings stretched wide on both sides of the mouth of a river. "But it doesn't matter." "Why not?" "Because those are my mountains," she said pointing to the horizon beyond the port. "That was my home." It was a clear, bright day but the distance was great enough one could just barely make out the faint...
As much as Nil and even Lavender tried to downplay the incident ashore they were alternately berated and fussed over by Makro and Fobie with Jarrah hovering around in the background. Everything settled down considerably once it was confirmed that nobody, with the exception of Lavender's bruised knuckles, was hurt. "Why didn't you see this?" Jarrah demanded of the twins. They blinked back at her in surprise. "I thought you didn't believe in their foretelling," Nil grinned at his...
