Monday morning meetings are the worst. You step out of the elevator onto the floor of your office, and move past the receptionist into the hallway where your fellow attorneys walk between rooms lethargically. You stride past open doors under fluorescent lights until you reach the door of your own small office. Outside at a cubicle is your assistant, a promising hire about to enter law school, about five years your junior.
"Remember, Laura," he says to you as you walk past, "you've got a deposition in ten minutes."
You smile and thank him as you pass into your office to gather your notes. You're meeting with the person your clients are suing, along with whoever their lawyers are, to ask them questions you can use as evidence during trial. The papers on your desk flutter as you push them to the sides, revealing a folder buried under the clutter which you snatch and take out of the room with you.
You couldn't say exactly when it was you decided you wanted to be a lawyer, but you've never been one to let injustice stand. It's been a few years since you graduated law school, and you're proud of what you've accomplished since. Though you haven't climbed the ranks as fast as some of your school friends - mostly because you would never go against your beliefs for your own gain - your passion for helping the underdog has earned you the trust and respect of your clients, and a favorable attitude from the higher-ups where you work.
As you walk into the conference room, you see that someone's already there, leaning back in their chair with hands behind their head. When they see you enter they stand up. You recognize them as the defendant.
"You must be Laura," they say.
"Yes," you answer, "but please, call me Ms. Mailer." You look around at the rest of the room, confirming there's no one else there. "Where's your legal team?"
"I figured that we would be able to settle without any of this legal stuff. I don't see a reason to bother."
You narrow your eyes. "I highly doubt my clients would be willing to settle outside of court."
They smile. "Oh, I feel confident that I can reach an agreement with you and your firm."
They pause slightly before the last word and say it deliberately. As they do, you feel some kind of feeling enter your chest. Almost like there's a tingling coming from it, but not something physical, it feels like some sort of expectation, like a palpable sense of something about to happen, very strong. You feel your breath shorten and your head starts to spin.
You shake your head slightly, clearing it a little bit, though the feeling stays in your chest. You don't trust your speech, so you look down at your notes to try and distract yourself.
Most of the time, people barely think about why they do things. You find yourself in a situation and have a choice to make, and you make it. That leads to more decisions and before you know it you're doing things that might make no sense at all, or all the sense in the world. But sometimes you find a person who knows exactly what they're doing. I was on a Monday morning flight from Philadelphia to Dallas. It was October, and I was hoping for warmer weather in Texas. Most of the passengers...

The Deception of Choice. Episode Nine, comprising Chapters 23 & 24. Preamble In which dreams are dreamt and then discussed. Their immediacy though is less disturbing than that of more physical simulations of the feminine experience. Coralie, less prone to the niceties of inner debate, continues to test the skills of all who would help her to come to terms with her new circumstances. All leading to a violent and bloody confrontation on a May morning. Chapter...
Her boyfriend hated her talking to me, and I honored his request at first. I did not want to come between them. But it was obvious she couldn’t stop. She had dark fantasies and like so many women discovered it was difficult finding men serious enough and not afraid to think or do the things she wanted. I surprised her because I have a dark, sadistic side and vivid imagination. Even better, I had actually done these things. Like most women, she didn’t believe me at first, but after seeing a few...
AnalThis is a fictional story. My cell rang with a familiar melody, I picked it up and looked at the screen. It was my friend Edith. I answer it and her voice on the other end said, ‘do yo want pizza and a fuck?’ I just giggle, ‘damn woman….’ Then she interrupted me… ‘what don’t you like pizza???’ She cracked up… ‘Hey I am in the neighborhood, mind if I stop by?’ Edith said. ‘No worries, bring some beer, real beer, no Coronas.’ ‘Ok, will be there in a few.’ This woman has been my friend...
I cupped a hand of water and smeared it on my latex cheeks, to clean off the black scars my permanent eyeliner left on my gleaming, spotted face when I attempted to remove it. My fetish heels clicked, and my hefty breasts tested the tight latex stretched thin over my responsive flesh. I wobbled towards the toilet paper roll to dry my face. Strength slowly returned to my legs, weak from the delicious feast of sensations my female body had to offer to my male mind for the first time. The...
An unforeseen incident caught my wife and me off guard that changed Casey’s life, and our marriage. My wife Casey is the most perfect girl I've ever met; she has a caring, sympathetic heart, and is sweet to people around her. However, it’s not easy to have a beautiful wife who attracts other men’s attention when we go out for a dinner, shopping, or on the beach. Sometimes men like to flirt with her, and I notice they are all confident, big, and muscular. When I see that, I have an insecure,...
Hi, this is Sagar with another story. It is about a married woman met on the flight. I was always unlucky whenever I took a flight. That day was no exception. There was no woman on the row that I sat. I sat between two men. How depressing, right? Well, maybe God heard my prayer. The man sitting on my left talked to someone from the front row. I guessed he was asking for an exchange of seats. He had his girlfriend sitting on the front row. He wanted to sit together with her. My prayer was...
I'm 28 years old and have been happily married for 9 years. My husband and I have enjoyed a good (and regular) sex life in those 9 years. My interracial experience started last year when a group of girls I know got together to celebrate one of the girls 30th birthday. The night was going very well; we had a nice meal and more than a few bottles of champagne and wine.I was sat next to a girl I hadn't seen for a while even though we'd been real close a few years back. Her name is Karen and we...
Grandpa and I woke up late. I was smiling as the last night's brutal fucking had left me sore and nicely tired. Grandpa and I drank each other's warm fragrant urine. Grandpa smiled as I showed eagerness for his shit as we always did on weekend mornings, "Katie, sweetie, shall we keep our shit inside in case you might want us to make loaf and pancakes." We got ready and went to visit our neighbors. "Katie, I know, you like uncle Tom, auntie Shari. Please follow my lead and take any...
It’s taken me a lifetime to figure out who I am and what I like. I identified as “straight” for most of my life. Had female partners, watched nothing but straight porn, Etc. I even served in the US military shortly after “don’t ask don’t tell” was implemented in the 1990s. I remember the questions on the enlistment contract concerning bisexuality and homosexuality were simply crossed out because they had not created new forms to accommodate the new policy. In basic training we were constantly...
When I got home, Saturday morning, I had several phone messages awaiting me. I turned the phone off again, then went to bed. I needed the rest more than information. Sometime during the falling asleep and the waking, I decided not to see Maurine until the next week. She and I both needed to decide how we felt about what happened the night before. It was shortly after noon when I crawled out of bed. My head was fuzzy from either too much sleep, or too little. I wasn’t quite sure which. I...
It was Friday, and like every other Friday night for the past four months, I would be walking across the parking lot of the condominium project where I lived to the grocery store that was next door. It had become my routine to get my weekly groceries on Friday and to have sex later that evening. It had all started this past March when I only needed a few things from the store and so decided to walk over, buy the things that I needed and then walk home. I was active and loved to play sports,...
First TimeShe sashayed in the room with intent. The young woman named Desiree felt eyes when she walked in. The boys said, “Daaaaamn!"As she walked into science class. Let’s not pretend. She knew what she had. She knew her butt was big. She knew she had curves. However, what she didn’t know as class went on was a young man noticing her for more than her curves. Honestly, it turned him on. But while others look at her like animals, after all, we were all mammals. Desiree knew something was different about...
Oral SexWhat’s up, you little freak?! Tired of masturbating alone? Those call girls are way too expensive, right? I mean some of them charge around $5 a minute! You might be paying half of your monthly porn expenses if you can’t cum in less than 5 minutes, haha! You know, they generally charge that high because they know you’ll cum in less than 5 minutes! Imagine wasting 5 minutes of your time just to make some crusty-cocked pervert cum for $5!What if I were to tell you that there is a platform where...
Female Masturbation Porn SitesMy wife Jay and I planned a short break in London to take in a show not so long back. It ended up with Jay putting on a little bit of a show herself. She loves to show off and I love to watch her doing so. This is something we discovered whilst on holiday after being interrupted by a hotel maid who ended up joining us on our bed. We booked into our hotel and when we got to our room on the fourth floor we noticed that it overlooked a quayside on the River Thames. We also noticed that they were...
I did not have any nightmares, or dreams of any kind. It was a small mercy, given my dreams lately. As I became more awake, I noticed the sensation of bodies pressed against me on either side. My arms gave no such sensation, as I doubt the ladies on either arm moved much. What made matters worse was, I had the usual morning erection and urge to pee, and both women were still asleep. I tried to shift them off, but they would only snuggle in tighter. It was to the point I was shaking the wagon,...

“Yes, Serena, it really is very bad indeed. Very naughty and incredibly sexy to watch you do that. I just love the way you are licking up the cum you spilled. Tell me how wet you are”. Serena slid two fingers into her pussy and brought them, glistening, up to her mouth.

Phil watched her as she performed the lewd “blowjob” on her own fingers, licking and nibbling then...

In a burst of heat, I woke in the middle of the night. Light from the traffic signals outside spilled through my windows, bathing my room in red and green and yellow in turns. And despite the stillness, the bloated quiet of the hour, a thunderstorm surged within me.My heart was racing, my mind spinning, and I was breathing hard as if I were in the middle of a glorious fuck. As if someone had me pinned down to my bed while he thrust into me, repeatedly with the intent of breaking me. All I could...

We take turns locating a suitable victim and then we spend lots of time researching and planning. By the time we’re ready, we know all about her habits. We map out how to catch and rape her without being caught, leaving no useful evidence behind. Sometimes, though, we leave a few red herrings. Red herrings like a few years ago when we watched a girl’s boyfriend fuck her a few times so we would know what she liked. Then, we took her (blindfolded) and fucked her in the same way as her...
I was raised in a small 2 bedroom single bath home,At times it was inevitable someone either my mom or grandma would have to pee when I was in the bathtub.Mom was about 50 at the time and who knows how old grandma was but pretty old I guessed.Both women had medium breasts and were pleasingly plump but not fat.Dad had long ago divorced and split ,so it was just me and the two women left to raise me. It was always the same Mom or grandma would knock on the door while I was in the tub and tell...
Aaron had everyone step up on the platform, with Kalliste leading Calliope, and prepared to transport them to Cumbra, when the Black Guard chose that moment to display themselves. It is worth noting that with each manifestation the Black Guard became a little more corporeal. By this point the guardsmen were indistinguishable from living beings and in fact were again alive. Now that everyone was finally in place, Aaron stepped over to the table top, set the controls for the throne room...

I shivered in the cold as I pushed my way through the thick underbrush toward the outskirts of my small town. The tangled trees that surrounded me blocked my path time and time again, and I had to struggle around them, making my own path that only lasted a moment before the forest overtook it once more. I pulled my cloak tighter around my small frame and I blew on my hands to warm them up before I continued. I scanned the small clearing in front of me in fear. I had been taught to fear the...

As Tim Brown sat down at the lunch table with Mike, he asked, “Do you like to fish?” Not recognizing the voice, Mike looked up from his plate. He didn’t know Tim all that well, and it took him a second to recall the man’s name. In fact, he had only met Tim in a couple of meetings. The man was normally very quiet, but people tended to listen when he spoke. He answered, “Yes, but I don’t have the time for it any more. My wife and I are fixing up our house. That kind of keeps us busy all of the...

He’d left Lorraine in the bedroom while she finished preparing, per the instructions. He waited in the den, dressed and pacing while mentally rebelling and anticipating the night. Despite his anger and resentment over the last days he’d begun to admit to himself that he wanted to show Lorraine and the agents that he was good enough to earn the approval of The Guild. He still bristled at their involvement, and his ego was still bruised by what he saw as Lorraine’s betrayal in reporting him. ...

It was peaceful and serene just laying here. No one else was home, no one was here to bother...
As Chad held his wife’s sleeping form against his body, he reflected on the past year. Everything seemed so surreal now. Chad stroked and kissed Sara’s hair causing a small sigh of content to escape her lips. She did not awaken, however. He thought of how lucky he was to have someone so special in his life. He would gladly take back any pain that he had caused her within the past year but he knew that he couldn’t. The only thing that he could do however was to love her with all his might, which...
My husband’s Boss had invited us to a party at his house.The celebration was about a new anniversary of the company. My beloved Victor soon started to chat with all his colleagues and he forgot me in a corner…The house was feeling very warm, so I stepped outside for a breath of fresh air. The cool evening spring air had an immediate effect under my short dress and a similar effect on my nipples, now hardening to the drop in temperature.Being there in the darkness, I heard some footsteps behind...
Several year ago I had the good fortune of being able to retire early with a union pension and jumped at the opportunity. I wasn’t sure what I was gong to do with all my free time, other than being able to dress up more often and invite men and other T girls to my apartment for fun times. I do love sex and love to play. Then it dawned on me that I had always wanted to travel cross country, stopping to see a lot of landmarks, historic sites and so on. I had been chatting with guys and other...
As I looked down at my best friend, big Bob, it was hard to believe the condition he was in. Just three days prior, this huge man was tossing logging chains around as though they were toys. A truck driver by trade, Bob was only thirty-five and could out work, out drink, and out fight men fifteen years younger than him. Just three days and now he is lying here in the ICU room clinging to life. Big Bob was brought down by the smallest of things, the H1N1 flu virus. His once massive chest no...
Yesterday we had a air condition and heating unit installed over our family room. The contractors came about 7:30 Am and started working immediately. The unit was to be installed above our bedroom window. So my wife had this great idea about giving the two guys a show since both guys were as she would say " hunks" and I have to say she was right. Both about six feet tall and pretty muscular and of course young. My wife still has a great body for sixty year old and a very tight pussy. Yes I'm...
"Hey Tom", I heard as I watched the school bus drive off. "what are you up to later?"I turned around to see Mark Romano standing behind me. Mark lived at the end of the street, around the corner from the firehouse. We weren't really friends, but we got along all right. "Why, what's up", I asked. "Do you think that you could help me out with my math homework?"Normally I would have blown him off but Mark had a sister who was a year older than us and after seeing her at the last weekend she had...

The car journey seemed to take forever for Hayley, and no doubt was not much fun for Matty driving either. An accident on the motorway had caused huge jams, and even though they were fairly close to the front, it still took a long time to get through the bottleneck. They chatted about nothing specific, mindlessly filling the air with words to try and make the time pass faster, but eventually, Hayley pulled out her phone and began going through the various social media platforms she was...

Not only that, but she also had a major make-over; including dropping down to 180 pounds, removing most of the wrinkles from her face; changing her eye color from brown to blue; changing her hair color from black to blonde; reducing her nose size; increasing her breast size to size D; changing her facial complexion; and changing her skin...
I began having a lot of problems with my work laptop, so once or twice a week I needed to go into the office and see the IT guy.He was shy, maybe a little younger then me, and I would consider him a geek or nerd type.He always had the same song playing when I visited his office. I eventually heard it on the radio and got to hear the whole song, it was “Someday” by Sugar Ray. Listening to the lyrics led me to suspect it was no coincidence. That song was playing for me. I think he had a crush...
It was just past six when I was returning home to my apartment from my morning jog. The late September air had cooled the sweat on my skin, and I was looking forward to a nice hot shower. As I opened the door to the lobby, Dan exploded from the elevator, and pushed past me in a hurry.“Hey, Dan,” I said. “‘Morning.”Dan Farber was a new tenant in the apartment down the hall from me. He’d moved in with his wife a couple of weeks ago, though I’d never actually met her in person. Dan had been hired...

The sound of the telephone jerked me awake. Once I realized that I had accidentally fallen asleep, I got quite pissed at myself. Quickly, I jumped up from the couch and answered the phone, looking at the clock on the stove. Had I missed Julia? No. The time was 9 p.m., on the dot. Thank God. I answered the phone to find that it was my Mother. She had decided to call to find out why I hadn't called her in the past two days. The fifteen minute call was riddled with questions and prodding,...

The wedding was wonderful. Heidi and Tim exchanged their vows under an ivy canopy in Heidi’s big back yard. Her home had been extensively decorated with flowers and bunting for the occasion, and a whole lot of tables and chairs had been set up around the huge back yard, some of them under a canopy, others out in the open. Since Heidi’s parents were both dead, Mr. Williams, the principal of Jamestown High, gave the bride away. Tim’s partner, Lex Dumont, served as best man, and Reverend Austin,...
