Martin Black-Davies was proud he hyphenated his name when he got married. Some of his friends told him it was unmasculine, but hell this was the 21st century, then again some of his friends were against the very idea of this marriage. Saying he had the whole of his life ahead of him. He agreed with that part but he was certain that he wanted to spend that life with Miss Kate Davies, now Mrs Kate Black-Davies. While most of Martin's friends called Kate "bland" or "nothing special" with her straight brown hair and her B-Cup breasts or her perfectly normal face. There was nothing wrong with her but she didn't stand out in anyway. A solid 5. Martin didn't care, he happy, she was happy and that's all that mattered.
Martin himself was not a 5 most women considered him a hunk. 21 At 6 4" with a body thanks to a strict military father most women threw themselves at him.
But he could resist a little flirting.
Right?
Everyone knows that sometimes temptation is a little too hard to resist. And this was definitely one of those times. I've always been curious about females. Males bore me. Every inch of a woman's body fascinates me, though there are areas that I'm sure you can guess I pay a little more attention to sometimes. Being a photographer, I get to take photos of all manner of things: landscapes, people, architectural things, sunsets, and I enjoy them all…mostly the people, and yes, mostly the females...
Quickie SexA girlfriend of mine, Shamita, and I have a mutual friend, who happened to be an ex of mine who had a fantasy of a three-some. We will call him Amit. Just kidding around we told him we were going to massage his whole body and then we were going to tear him up. Of course he knew we were kidding. That is until we each had a couple of drinks and relaxed a bit. Then what started out as kidding around turned out to be an evening we still smile to each other about. We did begin to give him a body...
Mmmm, today was a good day. I was sitting at work fantasizing about the sexiest man that had to be alive, in my world anyway. I finally spoke to him on the way home last night…and that was all she wrote. This man was godly, almost too good to be true. He had a nice and tight body with a smile that could kill. And you know what, he fucked me so good last night, I almost lost sight of who I was. Shit, how does one lose sight of who they are? Easy, when you do some shit you normally...
My day had been lazy and generally unproductive – just the way I liked it, for a Saturday evening. I had lounged around the room all day in a pair of tight blue boxer briefs, watching television, eating whatever I fancied and idly playing on my laptop. This was my idea of a relaxing, enjoyable weekend alone. Nothing could disturb me. No sooner had I thought this than my phone vibrated on the table in front of me. An ear-piercing song that I had once loved – now a grating noise to be tolerated...
You are Jason Smooth, an average looking guy, tall and slim, with dark hair, a goatee and hazel eyes. You may not boast a six-pack but you have no fat either. You are married to a beautiful, green-eyed, long legged blonde named Audrey... And this is where you troubles begin. Although you genuinely love your wife and have a good sex life too, you cannot help lusting for your female friends. You don't want to loose your wife and you know an affair is out of the question, especially with someone...

‘I am really sorry, Millie. We just have no other choice, sales are down and with all of the new costs piling up….?’ Ben Carter appeared sad as he gave her the bad news. Millicent did understand but it still hurt. After nearly six months on the new job that had taken her a full two months to find, she had barely gotten her feet back under herself again. She really liked the job, handling phone calls wanting delivery codes, directing sales calls to the right salesman, filling out forms for...
Many thanks to Jedbeaker for the editing of this story. It happened on a Friday afternoon at a crowded supermarket. No parking spots were available until I saw a car leaving the lot and a small red Honda waiting for taking it, but as I was in a better position, I quickly took it. Not a polite thing to do and the good-looking young woman in the red Honda obviously shared that opinion because she came out from her car and gave me an impressive and unforgettable cursing that really got me...
“Now what do you want?” My lips where glossing from the lights in the dressing room, every girl getting ready for tonight. “Stop the attitude missy, now come on, you have a client.” Lea snapped at me, fixing her fishnets up to her thighs. “No, I am tired, please!” I turned to her, hoping she would let me go this once, but her response was always the same. Two years I was in this business, since I had been kidnapped and forced into the job. Now, it is worthless for me to try to escape. I...
The three of us woke up hungry and hung over from the bus ride. We put on our workout clothes after a quick shower and headed to the cafeteria. After eating, we went to the weight room and worked for a solid forty five minutes. We signed out and walked back to the dorm feeling a lot better. I suggested, "How about doing our laundry now then getting some stuff and having a picnic out by the lake?" That was a great idea and they girls began gathering their clothes. I went and got mine and we...
Alex didn’t sleep - he rarely slept in the car. He just closed his eyes and relaxed. The feel of his sister’s breast helped relax him. His thoughts turned towards his relationship with Allie. He felt that after college they would end up in some new place where no one knew they were brother and sister. He thought they might not to have to ever tell their parents about their relationship. They could always claim they were living together until they found spouses. Of course they wanted children...
Hello ISS readers. This is Vikky 23 year old from Delhi. My girlfriend Riya is 22-year-old gorgeous women. We were in a relationship for about 3 years. We thought we knew each other very well but one fight between us changed our opinions. For the past 3 years, we used to be as normal couples that we can see around us like caring each other, messing around, hanging out etc. But one day we both had a fight and we stopped talking to each other for some time…but then I texted her saying sorry and...
Es ist ein warmer sonniger Freitag Nachmittag. Sandra ist gerade von der Schule nach Hause gekommen. Gelangweilt sitzt sie in ihrem Zimmer. Es ist nicht besonders groß, aber trotzdem hätte sie gern mehr Platz. Es sieht alles ein wenig chaotisch und unaufgeräumt aus. Auf dem Boden liegen ein paar Jeans und ein getragener Slip. Rötliche Sonnenstrahlen fallen durch das Fenster und lassen ihr Zimmer herbstlich erleuchten. Sie lässt sich auf ihr Bett fallen und schliesst ihre Augen. Was für ein...
TeenMy cousin called to tell me her 2 boys were running in a track meet on the weekend and that she wanted me to come. It's usually a 2 day event with qualifying meets on Saturday and finals on Sunday. I grabbed my folding chair, ice chest, a couple of towels and a big straw hat and I was on my way. My cousin had a tent set up for shade it was at least 90 degrees so I posted up to get ready to watch the boys run. Next to us I noticed an older group of people there cheering on their...
The fever broke. A long night, sweating, having the heat of my body pour out, drenching me, soaking my pillows, my sheets.A long night, my body writhing in discomfort as the heat escapes and slowly the haze lifts.Awake. Drenched. Still unsteady as I stand and look in the mirror. A shower should help, but it doesn't. It only washes away the sweat. But the long night is still on my face, and I look in the mirror and see stubble. I can't shave today. I can't keep my hand steady right now. Maybe...
Oral SexWhen Sylvia finally got up she looked down at the spot in my pants and said, “Oh I’m so sorry! Your sucking gave me an orgasm! Let me help you clean it up!” Then she took me to the bathroom.I said, “Thank you Sylvia! You didn’t need to do that!”Sylvia said, “Yes I did! You really did give me an orgasm! In fact you gave me two that’s why I was squirming and caused your climax!”I went into my bedroom and changed before coming back out. The girls requested a pizza so I ordered a big sheet pizza...
Jeff sat in the living room waiting for breakfast to be ready. The three new girls, Nat, Nicki and Whitney, came in to stand before him. They glanced at each other, then Whitney tentatively said, "Sir?" Jeff smiled at her and reached over to take her hand. "Why so formal? We're waaay past that. And what's wrong with calling me Jeff like I asked?" The girls looked at each other and blushed, remembering the orgasms he had given them. Nat turned to her "sister." "Oh, just tell him,...
The CIA safe house was just that, a safe place to hide. Roberta had a job, and I had to get out of there, or die of boredom. The alternative included being shot to pieces by ISIS, but they either had to give up, or run out of soldiers, so I could get on with my life. When we were up and dressed the next morning the head of Special Operations for DHS, and a big shot from the FBI joined a CIA executive in proposing a solution. "ISIS has decided to make you their special project, and as such,...
I had just reached the motel and had checked in, I was removing my bag from the car trunk when a young man approached. He was a few years older than I, maybe twenty-five or thirty, about 5'2" and close to 190lbs. He had the odor of one with poor hygiene and in need of a hair cut and shave, for some reason I had no fear of his quick approach. He looked timidly at me and mustered a smile saying 'hi, I'm William and I was wondering if I could help you with your bags for a little change to get...

By the time Hank got back to the site of the accident, Jean had called 911 to ask for an ambulance and a policeman. One of the first things she said was “This is a call from the Silver Knights.” The dispatcher had been warned of a possible call from one of the kids, and that she was to take any such call seriously. She had no trouble taking seriously a call about a Hit-and-Run accident and a child with a compound fracture in one leg and a simple fracture in the other leg. Jean had already...
I could only look on in shock as she released his cock and stood slowly, unbuttoning her shirt one button at a time, her eyes never leaving his black cock, which I felt start to grow in my grasp. I looked up at him where he leaned back beside me, and saw the hunger in his eyes as he watched my wife undress for him. "Suck my balls," he commanded softly, and without pause I did as instructed, leaning down and opening wide to suck gently on his full, heavy, balls -- still slick with lube and cum....
Don Weathers was a man unaccustomed to deferring his gratification. And with ready, albeit uninvited, access to his stepdaughter's sleek fourteen-year old body, he seldom had to. Sure, there were periods when his wife, Bethany's mother Kristie, was simply too underfoot to accommodate the "proper taking of his pleasure" from the youngster. The real world naturally interfered from time to time in other ways, as well. But this week marked the first time since the day he had deflowered the...
Went for my usual Steam and sauna last night and had a lovely time ;-)There were 2 lovely middle aged ladies in tonight. A Spanish looking lady with cute boobs wrapped in an orange see through boob tube style bikini top with a pair of flower pattern hotpants type bottoms on. She only around 5ft but what a sexy figure. She certainly looks after herself.The other lady from china possibly?. Great figure again and a peach of an assWell between hopping from the steam room to the sauna I was in...
Chapters 1-7 are somewhat self contained and describe Matt being rescued from a Midwest snowstorm by a family that turn out to be his soul mates, girls with lots of past life ties. Lots of spirituality and lots of sex. This was mostly written in 2005 and was posted in 2010. Chapters 8-13 describe Matt going home to the Northeast, discussing things with his wife. Ann, Barbara and Connie starting college. Matt and Ann setting up a business. Again lots of spirituality and lots of sex. Written and...

xmoviesforyou6PM and the phone rings."Hello?""Lyss! Wanna go have some fun?" cries my best friend Tristen."Fun is my middle name. Where and when?""8 o'clock. That new club on 26th.""Ok. See you there!" I just got home from work when the phone rang. I drop my jacket onto the back of the couch as I kick off my sensible shoes. I work in a relatively liberal office and I often take advantage of that attitude and dress to suit myself. Today was no exception. I'm wearing a loose, swingy black skirt that stops...
Call me Nicolas, that way I keep some sort of anonymity. I’m 20, from London, England and I’m probably, definitely a sex addict. Not that i’m complaining though, I mean it’s great. To give a bit of context, I’m 6’4, very athletic and blessed down there, if you know what I mean. I didn’t know I was big, big until I had my first sexual experience. I was pretty young, 14 actually, and as you can imagine pretty horny constantly. I began masturbating younger than that, me and a friend of mine would...
I leave Whitey for my next adventure in Wonderland, the second door looming high above me. I step inside and instantly am surrounded by smoke. I cough and sputter as the thick musky smoke coming from the hookah in the center of the room engulfs my senses. ‘Hello?’ I ask as I hear soft humming coming from the center of the smoke. ‘Glad to have you come, Alice,’a soft harmonious voice chimes. ‘Who are you?’ I murmur as I get closer to the center of smoke. Bright electric blue eyes stare...
Let me introduce myself. I’m Sam, I’m 5’3, decent rack, slim fit, and a redhead, through and through — in case you were wondering. At 20 I found myself in the only career I could ever want: a temp. I know that sounds ridiculous, and I know it’s probably not a good long term plan, but I just think you, and anyone who feels that way are simply temping wrong. Each office I walk into is a brand new experience, an opportunity to reinvent myself, and explore my identity… Did I say identity? I meant...
We have been so busy these last few months, moving into a new home and settling into new jobs, so Dave just hasn’t gotten around to continuing our story and has asked me to make a start, so here goes.Hopefully, you’ve read ‘Return to Puerto Banus’ and you know that both I and my husband get very turned on when he sees other men admire me. Especially when, shall I say, I am more daring in my mode of dress. Being away from home and anonymous, gives us more opportunity to indulge in our...
ExhibitionismLittle Red Riding Hood The creepy story parents tell their children growing up about some little girl in a red cloak and a scary wolf that pretends to be her grandmother because he - ahem - eats her, is wrong. It's dead wrong, for one, to tell children about a grandmother being eaten in any way whatsoever, physical or innuendo. And second, I'm Little Red, and the bastards totally messed up my story. Let me set the record straight. My name's actually Lily, but I'm 5' 1" and have...

Matt perused his way through my well-appointed apartment very freely. He felt very comfortable and was relaxed enough with me to feel at ease in a stranger’s home. After all, we just met some two hours ago at the pool, took a naked shower together, groped each other’s genitals in the lockers and made out in the car. Can this afternoon get any more extraordinary than it already has? I guess I will find out. “Matt, would you care for a beer?” I asked my young sixteen year old friend? “Um, sure,...
Gay MaleI stood in my room and pulled my hair. "Holy shit, Quinn is just driving me nuts," I moaned, pulling my hair really hard. "Of course, now my phone is buzzing," I said, reaching for it.A pulled up a new text. "'I can't wait to ride your giant cock again, step son. My pussy is begging me to let your schlong back inside it again. Do you think your dick would be willing to journey inside my twat again? Even better, with some more privacy? I have a surprise for you, Ted.' Oh, fuck me, I don't even...
NovelsNow that she had made up her mind she was looking forward to the experience. Aladdin was the only man she had ever had and a little forbidden thrill ran through her at the thought of taking Salman's cock inside her wet little pussy. "After the last meal come to my chambers, I feed Prince Jumah soon after that and he sleeps for a good amount of time, I think that would be the best time. We must be discreet Salman, no one must ever know." Jasmine cautioned the Djin. "My Princess I can...
You know what’s weird? When you go from being a senior in high school—totally chill, biggest fish in the pond, wise and sophisticated—to being a freshman in college—totally lost, insecure, minnow in a big, strange ocean. People treat you like you’re twelve years old, and you kind of feel that way. That’s sure how I felt, anyway. Add in that I was an 18-year-old virgin, maybe a lesbian, and a cum slut who got off sucking anonymous dicks in a glory hole, and weird was too feeble a word to...
Hi everyone my name is Rahul. I stay in Bangalore in a posh locality. I am 23, good looking(I am not boasting I am really good looking) and average built. My love for older women started when I was 18 yr old when I watched Tamil blue film. But i had no guts to talk to women. One day I was feeling bored at home & tot to take a evening walk to a park nearby. I watched all the good looking babes and older women for an hour and tot of returning back home.

xmoviesforyouMe and Mom on Date Night My name is Jerry, short for Gerald, and I am 23 years old. When I was 10 I was adopted. Jim and Karen had moved in a few doors down when I was 6. My life up to that point was pretty lousy. My parents were what you might call white trash. We lived in a nice house in a nice neighborhood only because my mom had won some lottery so we bought the house, a couple of new cars, a boat and the rest, my parents blew on drugs and alcohol. I guess you could say we were white trash...
IncestI didn’t expect it to be one of the girls at all and I was mildly shocked to find a young woman on the doorstep to my cabin at 1am. I recognised her straight away from the camp sessions – Sandra. She was 5’6, shoulder length black hair and green eyes, dressed in an overcoat. “Sir-” “It’s 1am, get back to your dorm.” I warned her, peering out the door. It was dark enough that no one had noticed she had turned up. If someone had seen her there, as her camp leader I would’ve been expected...

It was about three years ago we changed our lifestyle. Dawn’s birthday to be exact. Forty years of age. I joked that she was now the same in years as her bust was in inches. “You complaining?” she asked. “When have I ever complained about your tits?” I replied. She laughed. “Well you’d better do something special for my birthday. I want it to be a memorable one.” That got me thinking. I had a week to go before the big day and needed my thinking cap on. In the twenty three years we’d been...
I was 20 years old when I wrote this. I come from a real religious family where sex is a very taboo subject. I live in North Carolina and go to one of the big colleges there. Sexually, I guess you could say I was a bit of a late bloomer. I am a nerdy type of guy, making friends has been hard for me. I always had some feeling that I was bisexual as I would get excited looking at hot guys and girls. When I entered college the my bisexual / gay feelings became harder and harder to...
Lynn sat in her car. She'd worn a large t-shirt over a bra that didn't at all fit properly, even at the furthest clasp. She wore her black yoga pants and the fabric stretched over her ass. Her tail rasped slowly over the wide elastic band around the waist as it moved. She'd tried to hide the tail in the pants but it hurt to have it bunched up. She couldn't pull them up high because of her udder. A baseball cap she'd received from a previous client hid her ears and her face from casual view. Her...
SupernaturalCindy and I woke up early, before the sun came up, and went down to the lake to skinny dip. The early morning was peaceful, and the waters were calm. We dove in, and the water was refreshing. It helped wake the both of us up. “Friday, I'm going with my parents to their thing at the State Park.” She said, as she swam up to me, wrapping her arms and legs around me. “So, Thursday night I'll have to stay at home, so I can help my mom with my brothers, and my sister.” I held her ass to help her...
Dave and Jennifer slept cuddled on the small bed for an hour. The weekend special duty nurse caught them sleeping together and quickly chased Jennifer out of the bed. After the nurse left, Dave whispered to Jennifer, "Never mind that old crank. Sam won't mind you climbing in with me when she gets back tomorrow." Jennifer smiled as she nodded agreement. Sunday was a long day to Dave - he was steadily feeling better and wanted to get moving. Jennifer and his mom kissed him goodbye before...
It was my second year in college and my foot fetish got stronger. Now I wanted to worship dirty feet and be dominated by them. My chemistry teacher who we will call ms Roberts was one of the hottest teachers at the college. Most importantly she had the nicest feet I've ever seen. She always wore open toed shoes to show off her pedicures. But she had a bitchy side and wasn't too find of me. I always fantasized about her dominating me and making me her foot slave but what were the chances of...
I didn't plan it, but Cindy graduated into upper division classes that night. After her third finger-induced orgasm that night, she rested long enough to explain that ever since she'd started masturbating (which happened one night after she sat on my lap when she was twelve or thirteen) she had experienced what she believed were orgasms. On the night of her first date, she found out they were only the precursors to orgasms. If you've ever masturbated, you know about that point just before...
Elizabeth Grey - Part 07: So Far Away By Carmenica Diaz The black dress still fitted me well when I slipped it on. I had a small anxiety attack, suddenly worrying it wouldn't, that it had all been a dream but it did. For the second time that day, I stood in front of a mirror and stared at myself, astounded. I followed the make up instructions and it was amazing how dramatically different I looked. Of course, I thought, the fact I don't have glasses anymore...
(Hope there aren’t many mistakes and that you enjoy this part as much as the first. Please let me know what you think, you have no idea how much feedback and comments help. Thanx Alicexxx) * FRIDAY… 4.00 PM I looked at my watch for the thousandth time and told myself just like the last time, that he could just be late. I took another sip of my warm tea and glanced out the café. It was windy and pouring outside, typical of the British winter. Of course, as usual I’d had a streak of bad luck...
