Candice McKnight had a reputation for being a hard woman. Uncompromising, resolute, relentless in her representation of clients, no matter what her personal thoughts. That is not to say she did not have morals, did not sometimes question her taking on the criminals and anti-socials that her colleagues wouldn’t touch, but rather that her ambition was boundless… Something that was already earning her a reputation as an often-ruthless rising star at the offices of Smythe and Peterson.
Bleeping split through the half-awake dreaming of the 29 year-old solicitor. Despite the relatively early hour, it was almost welcomed as it shattered the young woman’s all too vivid nightmare.
Since her victory last week, when the overly busty and not-too-bright trophy wife of a deceased millionaire had contested and won the complete ownership of all his stocks, funds and assets, to the deprivation of the man’s daughter, Candice had repeatedly had the same dream.
As the verdict was read, Candice’s opponent across the room, the self-representing daughter, had given the lawyer such a bizarre, piercing look with her unusually yellow eyes that she had not been able to get it out of her head, even now she could see the wiry brunette standing on the far side of the walnut panelled courtroom, could feel the heat of that surprisingly oppressive day, hear the deep, rumbling voice of the judge as-
With a start, she jerked herself into full waking. The bleeping! It wasn’t her alarm, but her mobile!
Candice quickly flipped the no-nonsense phone open only to hear the distinctly succinct voice of that same woman.
“Morning McKnight. Don’t speak. I just wanted to let you know that today my revenge shall be consummated. I look forward to the changes.”
The line went dead. The alarm clock sounded.
For a second, a shocked Candice had to query whether she had just still been dreaming… no she was still holding her phone, the overly girly, bright pink flip-phone. For a second she grimaced at the handset, not entirely sure why she had ever chosen the model that was so unlike her usual professional nature before dropping it to her nightstand and sliding out of bed.
Walking to her en suite bathroom, the lawyer passed one of the full length mirrors of her wardrobe and did a quick self-assessment.
Her 5’6’’ frame was still about as lithe as it had been in school. Age had not yet cursed her with any real sag yet to her chest, but then she was lucky to only have B cups in that regard. Perhaps she had gained a little weight to her midsection, but hitting the gm again would fix that.
Her eyes were still the same intelligent hazel, even if she now had to cover them with glasses for reading and her practical bob kept her dark brown hair in order, though perhaps it needed cutting again soon.
As satisfied as she ever was, Candice made her way to the bathroom, sighing slightly at the thought of another Monday.
Changes By Margaret Jeanette Tracy Morrison was all smiles as she went over the latest order from Clark Industries. It was the biggest order she had ever gotten. She was in sales at a machine manufacturing plant. They made specialty-packaging equipment. Clark Industries was ordering three machines. Her commission over her salary would be huge to her. Her happiness was cut short when Sue Dunlop came in and told her she just heard that Tornow was shutting down and moving to...
Changes "Wow, what a night" I said to my wife while driving home from a small gathering of friends. Four couples from our old neighborhood, including Susan and I, still get together once a month for light socializing. "Did you see the way Darcy spoke to and treated her husband tonight! I could not believe he puts up with her attitude. I know what I would have done." "Yes dear, I am sure you would have handled Darcy better," my wife said as she patted my knee. That was quite...

ChangesBy NinjaIt was my senior year (High School) and I started dating Tiffany who was a 10th grader with a killer body. At first it was your standard relationship but then it started to evolve.The first step was when I fucked her 4 times one day at my house (my parents were out of town) and got her to put her panties on right away afterwards.We went back to her house for dinner. Her parents of course figured we had maybe kissed and here she is sitting at the table with 4 loads of cum pooling...
Changes. By Lady Claire Stafford Mumbai: Awakening. The room had heavy drapes over the windows but the glow from the floor level night-lights enabled me to see the dressing table, some chairs and the very impressive chandelier hanging from the centre of the ceiling. Above the bed head there were lamps on articulated arms. This was a seriously up-market hospital room. My right arm was draped across my tummy, it had the plastic hospital ID around the wrist. The other, with...
Chapter 1: The Beginning There have been many changes in my life. About a year and a half ago I was a 33 yr. old man name Lamar Thomas, Detective from Georgia. I was on vacation in Miami, Florida with my wife and two kids. After checking into our hotel I told my wife and kids that they could go to the beach while I went for a walk. So while I was out I decided to by my family some gifts. Stop at a toy store and bought my boys some water-guns. After leaving the toy store I was looking...
Chapter 1 In the last month my life has undergone some big changes. The way I think about relationships and sex has been flipped upside down. Since going through this change has been such an exhilarating experience, I thought I might share it with some of the anonymous strangers out on the net. I'll start with some background so that you can better understand what has happened. I am a married 25 year old aerobics instructor and personal trainer at a gym in suburban Austin, Texas. My husband...
Changes Tiffany Scott 97' I don't mind telling you that while I'm relaxing on my sofa, sipping my cup of coffee, my husband of five years is down in the laundry room doing the wash. After it's done he will do the ironing then clean the apartment and he'll also cook my dinner, serve it to me then clean up the dishes. Today is wash day, a day I love. He hates Tuesday's though because I make him wear his lacy panties, nylons, corselete, ruffled...
Changes "Kyle, you haven't forgotten that we're invited for dinner at the Watsons tonight?" asked Simone, Kyle's wife. "No, I hadn't forgotten," Kyle replied. "I'll try to get out of the office early, so that I have plenty of time to get home, have a shower and get ready." "Do you remember what happened when the Watsons came here for dinner two weeks ago?" "Remember? How could I forget? That was when Hannah Watson, her tongue loosened by several glasses of Sauvignon Blanc, told...
At seventeen I graduated and decided to hike around the country before going to college in the fall. I had a trust I received after my father died so I had money to eat. I had actually decided to start in the northwest and had flown out to Seattle. I had been walking for a few days and entered a thick pine forest with a lot of ferns. I stopped early and moved away from the road before putting up the small one man tent. It was the first night of the new moon. I had eaten and sat on a nearby...
The sunlight practically burned my eyes as I slowly woke up. I blinked several times and closed them again for a moment. I felt like crap, way worse than I should have. Last night the guys and I had gone to the bar drinking but I thought I had kept it under control since I still had to drive home. Apparently not though, otherwise I wouldn’t have felt like this. I felt foggy and numb, yet I could still feel the ache throughout my entire body. I also had one of the worst cases of cotton mouth I...
It was the night of our third anniversary. Carla and I came out of the theater, walking slowly to the car. I took her to a movie she had wanted to see. It was a sexy film about six college ‘kids’ in their senior year. There were four guys and two girls. In celebration of their upcoming graduation, the parents of one of the guys had given him permission to invite his friends to a weekend at their house, set on a private island. Sex, drugs and booze were had by all. During the course of the...
All his life he had dedicated his existence to science. Until the military became interested in his work. He could never understand why everything always came down to money or war. Sure he had made numerous millions himself, but that was to help further scientific research. But now he realised he wanted to make a difference in a different way. On this gloomy morning he was making his third exuberant decision. He would help another person who was in need. The hard part was who. Then when he...
Introduction: A story of two people finding each other and finding themselves. Opening the car door the 6,7 foot man stepped out into the dewy misty morning. Locking the vintage jaguar door, he stood back admiring his prize possession. Now in his sixtys and semi retired, the car was his first extravagant and impulsive decision. Buying the remote house with 5 acres of pasture and woodland was his second. All his life he had dedicated his existence to science. Until the military became...
So I was sitting there between Phil and Bob , when Lisa told them me to help them get undressed . One by one they rose, first Bob, and I pulled his shirt offer his head, then I undid his belt, un snapped his jeans, and pulled them down. I saw his hard cock pushed his undershirts out, and as I pulled them down, releasing him I looked towards Lisa who nodded to me. I took that as encouragement and cupped his sack in one hand, then kissed the head and slowly took it in my mouth. I alternately...
Change by parker Anxious, I checked my watch for the fifth time in as many minutes. How long could it possibly take her to change? Women! The dinner started in half an hour, and the election was tight enough without me being late for my own fundraising events. I looked around the clothing store, hoping to find a female attendant to check the changing rooms, but the store seemed empty. I walked over to where a hung curtain separated the changing area from the rest of the store....
The Change By Margaret Jeanette Toni Weber was very happy. She was just promoted to vice-president of human resources. She moved into her large well-appointed office and sat there thinking about how lucky she was. She was a strong motivator and was known for a no-nonsense approach. She used whatever tools were available. Now she reported directly to the president of the corporation. That night at supper she told Fred her husband of seven years about her promotion. She was...
Changed "How can you be such a baby," Daniel teased mercilessly. It always pleased Daniel to no end when he was in a position in which he could show superiority over someone else and it was even better when it was his sister. They were both having their breakfast that morning and for Daniels's sister Jessica this wasn't a good situation. Recently Jessica had lapsed into wetting herself every now and then and now wore diapers until she a time where she was consistently dry. "Why do...
WARNING ... this story is of a adult nature and has a scene of RAPE in it. This scene is not to glorify this disgusting act and in no way condones such a deed, which by its very nature makes the perpetrator a very sick individual indeed, and if anyone it thinking of committing it I recommend they get immediate help from a qualified medical person. Having said that, it is included in this story because it was just something I had to get out of my system, the character in the story...
Changed By Margaret Jeanette Martin Huxley was a happy man. He had just sold his third computer game to a company and sold all rights to it.

She shared his excitement, so they went out for supper to celebrate. Judy was proud of her husband. He developed games for a living and she had never thought he...
Thomas Grove left the corner store bumping into Denise. She stood about a foot taller than the boy making her breasts the first thing he hit, knocking him onto his butt staring up at the beauty. Her blonde hair partially covered her face as she bent over to help him up from the sidewalk. He could smell the perfume coming from her neck and the chicken she had for lunch on her breath. "Oh, sorry for running into you. I wasn't looking where I was going," Thomas blushed. "That's Okay...
My name is Kenta Ishimara. I am 21 years old, 5'7 with neat black hair and glasses. My life was, putting it very lightly, boring. Noting ever happened to me. I had a pervy lesbian sister, my dad I swore was secretly gay and us kids were the product of my mother sleeping around, like she did from time to time. They hardly ever even talked to each other, let alone made love. Of course, I also had some typical friends. Most of which I swear were only using me to get to my sister. As revenge, I've...
Hi. Welcome. This is Stacy. I’ll be your host for this story. The following serial novel is surprisingly true for the most part, and the inaccurate parts are mostly for narrative structure. All of the characters exist, and most of the events have occurred. This is an important story. It’s about sex and slavery, but it’s also about your life, and my life, and how we get through it all. It’s an experiment, but it’s also a manifesto. This has all happened for a reason. I want to change people for...
Dave was my first real boyfriend, we had been together since high school, and I loved him from the day we met. I knew that he felt the same about me. We had been seeing each other for 6 years when we decided to get married. We didn't have a big wedding but it was in a church and I did wear white. I don't think I could have had it any other way. We lived in a two-bedroom apartment until I fell pregnant with our first baby, which was a boy we called Chad, after Dave's dad Chad win Greaves....
He shifted nervously as he stood in line. He had chosen this lane because the checker was a woman. He didn’t know why that made him feel better, but it did. Just a little. He glanced down at the basket in his hand. The contents were carefully selected: a sandwich from the deli, a drink, a box of protein bars, a box of tissues, all there to make it look like he wasn’t there just to buy that package of panties. There was nothing special about the panties, there were three of them, cotton,...

It was a lot of little things that first made me suspicious that my beautiful, sexy wife of just three years had found other avenues of expression in her life. Things continued to be great at home. We enjoyed everything together, especially sex. Both of us had been in our late twenties when we decided to get married. Neither of us were strangers to robust sex when we met. Then we had lived together for a year prior to taking the step. We shared so many common interests together that we never...

He laid in his bed since morning filling his mind with erotic sexual fantasies. He was 18 and he was obsessed with sexual thoughts. As every teenager he watched a lot of porn and jerked off. Amidst his cloud of perverted thoughts he heard the clock chime twelve noon. Jake struggled from his bed and shambled out into the living room. His...
Note to readers: This story starts out in a similar way to one written by Kezza67 a few years ago. I’ve already received his okay for my version, though he hasn’t read it. There’s not any sex in this story, so if you want wham, bam, thank you ma’am you might as well move on. This could have been categorized in several different categories. I chose non-erotic. As always, constructive criticism is welcomed. Please keep in mind that it’s FICTION!! Thank you for reading. ***** Chapter 1 I was...
I was one of the smart ones. School was easy without effort. I barely spent time on homework, never studied, kept straight A’s. Lacrosse and martial arts kept me in great athletic shape despite my utter lack of talent for the former, it allowed me to cross social groups between the nerds and jocks easily. My first girlfriend for 2 years had never let me past 2nd base, and maybe I overcorrected by losing my virginity after my first date with the second girlfriend. We had a short but passionate...
As the saying goes, no time like the present. I had memorized a host of spells designed to fight demons, had my ring and staff charged to capacity. My sword would also act as a focus, as I had recently discovered. My cloak was bespelled as never before. I felt as if I fairly hummed with power. Mirwanna had a wizard who was familiar with Fenoris. He opened a gateway, and just as I was going to step through it, it collapsed! But not before we had seen a human form, a darkly cowled form that...
Did you ever say something you regretted? The thing I regretted saying was that I would give being a sub a try. He explained about how playful it was and about the safeword that would just stop everything if I got scared or really didn't want to do something. He suggested oxo. Of course the fact that this conversation took place when his hand was deep in my panties may have influenced my response somewhat, but there it was. I had said it. So I shouldn't have been too surprised when he...
ReluctanceWe decided to start at the present, since only a few minutes had passed since we ALMOST managed to drown Akbar and Viktor. Rex was eager to see Viktor’s reaction. Viktor was still dripping on the floor and apparently having a mental conversation with someone. Rex asked me to ‘back it up’ until Viktor ‘re-materialized’. We all laughed when Viktor and Akbar appeared laying on the floor looking like two drowned rats. Rex asked, just to make sure, “They CAN’T hear us, right?” I laughed, NOPE....
Sometimes I didn’t know which book to steal, so I’d just take both of them. As my pal John said, it wasn’t rocket science. All you needed was a sliver of silver paper and the right kind of look. Unfortunately, I had the wrong kind of look. I had criminal hair and a face that said don’t fuck with me because I’m stealing. I could see why Pablo Coehen was so popular. Everything he wrote was a fairy tail. And everybody apart from proper adults, with respectable jobs, liked fairy tales. The big...
Sarah woke when she felt Judy and Alice move. The first thing she noticed was that she was leaking and really needed use the bathroom before she stared letting her milk down. "Good morning," said Judy. "Yes, it is," replied Sarah in a cheerful voice. "Oh, no," said Alice, "someone who can be cheerful before a cup of coffee." "And why not? I am among friends. What more can you ask for?" "I can think of a lot of things but being among friends is at the top of the list." "Well...
So this is a real encounter that happen to me last Monday March 28, 2015. I had a meeting with a client downtown. Anticipating traffic, I left a little early and to my surprised arrived about 30 mins early. I got myself americano and took a seat. Interesting when you don't have nothing to do you start scanning the room seeing what others are doing. In the table in front of me I noticed this gorgeous, curvy young woman. She got lots of hair.

Joe sat back, trying to ease the kinks from the concentration, but the screen told him what he needed to know. The patch was good, the suite was running, and the payroll would be through on time. He glanced across at the next terminal. Sue was leaning back in her chair, long legs stretched out, eyes closed. He took a moment to admire the sleek shape of her, from her pixie-cut cap of red hair, over her shapely breasts, her flat belly, and down the long, lovely line of her legs. "What time is...

Comments and suggestions are also welcome at the above email address. --- Sarah Carerra By AngelJedi (Released: August 30, 2010) Chapter 5 - Wake Up! The rest of the weekend was generally uneventful.

It was a Thursday morning and John had another day of work from home planned. There had been a problem with a couple of shipments arriving from out of state, and he was going to have to make a few phone calls to his clients to sort things out. He really wasn’t looking forward to it! Chelsea, his 18 year old cleaner, came by on a Thursday. Since taking her virginity a couple of months ago, they fucked nearly every time she came over. They both really enjoyed it- she made him feel younger and...
I stood with her and chatted her name she told me was Jessie, and she was waiting to go off to college, she was living at home with her mom and baby sister who was just two years younger. As the bar closed I asked if she wanted me to drive her home, she shook her head and said. “Walk me it’s just around the corner”. We strolled slowly to her house arm in arm making small talk and finding out answers to questions you ask when you just meet. At her door I held her hand and asked if I could...
I have no idea how many times I came, but she never let up, biting and tugging at my clit while her fingers tried to get deeper in my ass. Eventually, she fought to escape my pussy to breathe, dropping to the floor. I dropped down next to her and fed her my cum one finger at a time. She fought to get on top, but I pulled away and lifted her to her feet. I led her to the bed, where I put her on her back, lifting her legs high head. She held them there while I got my toys from the drawer where I...

Quinn doesnt sweat the small stuff, especially when its cock related. Thats why she took so kindly to our boy Ikes dick. It was love at first suck. With each motion down his long cock, Quinn could not get over how big it was. She utilized her tongue to constrict it and weaken the head with pleasure. After she kept her head still and Ike ferociously fucked her mouth, it was perfect timing for a nut bust. Quinn sucked that gizm down like a dehydrated hoe who had just spent seven days in the...

xmoviesforyouPart 1 I found a box of old videotapes while looking for something to tape a show on. I couldn't remember what was on them, so put one into the VCR. I watched as it showed myself, in a nice shirt, stepping back after setting my video camera to record. As I moved further back from the camera I could see our bed and my wife lying on it, still clothed but clearly far from coherent, her eyes closed. Was this one of our sex tapes? Why was it tossed into this box instead of in our locked-up...
After a few years flitting from one job to i needed to find another career and decided to train to be a carer the money was poor but it was a stable job and after a few redundancies I knew I'd never be out of work. Ill be honest I didn't really fancy it at first but the hours were steady and it was secure, and when I saw the smiles I brought to some of the old people I looked after, I soon got over the hard work and initial messy and uncomfortable situations that the job brought with it....
The bar had the usual Saturday night crowd. You know, the typical AAA rejects, that tend to occupy the best bar stools. The bartender, as usual, is loud and overly friendly as I walk in. I sat at an unoccupied table close to the TV in the corner, hoping that one of my friends might walk in and join me. Gloria, the bartender, holds up a glass and motions to me, suggesting I might want my regular drink, gin and tonic. I nod a yes, and turn to survey the crowd hulking over their glasses, as they...
BisexualCortni made it up to her room undetected, and quickly stripped off her clothes and put them in her pillow case so she could sniff the sweet stench of urine while she slept. Naked, she went to her desk, sat down, opened her laptop, and logged onto Mark's hidden cam server. She saw he was nude, reading over books and checking his laptop everytime he heard an alert from msn, presumably seeing if his cam mistress had logged in. After seeing it wasn't her, he'd grudgingly go back to studying. Cortni...
Choking on my own tears, moaning through blood smeared panties, unable to swallow, both hands bound with rope far apart on the same brass bed where we conceived our first child, our only child—Milena, who is dead now—I am at last at peace. Karajan, my lover, finishes what is needed to my legs, binding them together like a mermaid’s fin. "Now you have some time to think," he...

"Sunni, the take away arrived." Lyla called through the bedroom door."I'll be out in a second!" Snapped Sunni."What is up with her lately," Lyla thought to herself, "She has been acting so fucking weird."She emptied the food from the containers onto plates and poured two glasses of wine. This girls catch up was long overdue, ever since the fuck up at the convention Lyla had been so distracted with trying to make it right to Clarke, she had barely seen Sunni in the last two weeks.

The completion and release of "Dragon Lore" didn't slow things for Looker Lass Productions, Five Friends Casting, Petal Technologies, Carter Creations and Subarctic Enterprises. If anything, things got busier. The performers were in high demand and Veronica, Jackie and Reanna hustled to keep the schedules straight. Bringing in Tara Twain (Reanna) and Sheila Corvette (Jackie) had been a godsend but it also opened up a new problem that, coupled with the immediate dividends shown by the...
My name is Ann and I am eighteen years old and in twelfth grade. I can remember the first time I met Will. He was the “new kid” in school, having just transferred to Elmore High School. He came to live with his grandmother while his parents were overseas for his father’s work. Will came at the beginning of the summer and it did not take long for him to get the reputation of being a “bad boy.” Not that he caused trouble or anything but because he wore a leather jacket and like to drag race. He...
Teen“So, any luck, Eva?” I asked my adorable Czech love slave. “Yes ... and no. Steve wants to meet with Zoe. Tonight. Just Zoe. I imagine that they have some ... issues to address from their marriage. I wonder if he knows that she’s married to Mary now, Master,” Eva informed me rather dejectedly. “Hey, sport, don’t let it get you down, okay? What can bring you back up?” I asked Eva, though I should have been prepared for her answer. “Chastity? Pretty please? I’ll suck, lick, and do whatever...

Tracey was 25 years old and was rather plain looking but had a stunning body.Susan and I took them out for a meal on the Friday night, and between us we got through several bottles of wine, needless to say Susan was getting very drunk and so was my son who has never been able to drink much. We had a superb meal and we were soon in a taxi on the way home.Once we got home I opened another bottle of wine which we soon...
She's ravenous. Insatiable. I lay back and enjoy the show. Watching her toned body. Watching her pussy working my cock. Watching her face, eyes closed, head back, mouth wide. She is made for sex! I put a hand on her breast. She slaps my face. She takes the hand and puts it back by my side. 'No touching unless I say so! You know that.' I obey. She's on her feet, crouching. She's putting on a show that I could watch all night. Eventually she lowers herself onto her knees and locks her lower legs...
Cheating WifeBaroness Alina Morton was furious. Robina had not sent new orders for more silk in the last month, and neither had Vasari. The rumour was that the war was off. The price of her silk had dropped dramatically. That damn foreigner had put the wind up both of them, and her schemes had been squashed. It was probably just as well, as she was having trouble supplying the orders she did have. The damn aracnzi were still playing up and were attacking her people even more than they had in the past....
