So we've finally made it. With the secrets of cold fusion revealed, humanity can finally reach the stars; not even the sky's the limit anymore. We've begun to chart the surfaces of Mars and Mercury without help from little robots or sky-eyes... we've even made first contact with extra-terrestrial life. Aliens.
I'd like to say that we did it ourselves, but that's not really true. It was those aliens - they call themselves the Arrai so I guess we will too - that did most of the work. They picked up on one of our random 'hey, this is Earth, we come in peace' long range radio transmissions, and after going over the info crammed into the feed, figured 'what the hell, let's drop in and check 'em out.' Next we hear is a return transmission that doesn't make a smack of sense. They don't speak Sol Common, of course.
They must've been pretty smart cookies to have figured out our message, and they probably assumed the same of us; that we could puzzle out their language. As it turns out, humans are morons... before we've gotten down more than a couple sentences, the Arrai send us a second message in passable Common, then a couple more in the most used local dialects: English and Spanish. Smart cookies, yeah.
It goes on like this for about a year, radioing back and forth. It would've been faster, but there's some heavy lag between messages from the distance. Somewhere in the mix we get cold fusion and start testing it out. About the time we've got flesh and blood teams charting the not-blue planets, the Arrai tell us they're sending something that'll make communication easier. Sure enough, the lag starts going down. A couple months after that, we've got a real live UFO in orbit, some sort of relay station. Once that shock's worn off, we get a message from it in Common that's by now damn near perfect:
'Arrai ambassadors and technologists await reception. Please send orbit to surface transport as soon as possible. Information regarding Arrai life support follows.'
DNA analysis on TV takes less than five minutes and a computer dings and shows you a picture of the perpetrator. Then some handsome actor says "Go get him, boys." Action ensues and within half an hour, usually, the bad guy is caught or gunned down in a fair fight and the commercials roll. In real life, DNA testing, which is a chemical process, done by a lab technician, takes weeks. So I waited weeks for Leon to call me and tell me what the result of the test was. It was the third week in...
This is my first story, hope you like and all feedback will be greatly appreciated. Right I’ll just set the scene…. Tom and I both go to the same college but he’s a couple of years older than me and is best friends with my brother. They’ve been friends for years and he’s watched me grow up. He doesn’t know but I’ve always had a crush on him but he’s never noticed me in that way until this day…….. College had been holding cheerleader try outs and I was hoping to become part of the squad. It...
We had another late baseball practice the following Friday. Wondering if Coach H (late 50’s with a hairy athletic body) meant what he said that I could ask him about masturbating with him again I delayed going back to the locker room to shower off by hitting a few balls in the baseball cage. I got back to the locker room as the last of my teammates where dressing. I undressed and hit the showers. While drying off in the shower I heard a cough and it was Coach H. He told me that if I had any...
Neither of us planned it that way, but my most beautiful friend got fucked by two different guys with enormous dicks, once when she was just 18 and once seven years later — and I got to watch both times! It all started when Becky and I were freshman and decided to join the same sorority. We were each assigned a different “initiation project.” The girls concocted a rather interesting assignment for Rebecca, because she seemed so innocent, even for a freshman. They demanded that she try to seduce...
(Dumbledore's Office, Hogwarts Castle) John sat in the Headmaster's Office across from a Furious Looking Harmony Ashcroft, which was justified in her defence. He did afterall Enchant her Quill to right obscenities on her tests, and cast a temporary illusion over it to make sure that only she saw what she had thought she had written. And he had of course Swapped out her Wand with a Fake one. But one could hardly blame him for a juvenile antics, unless they knew of the bad blood between the...
FrankDuring our engagement dinner with Alexia’s family, I received a text message from my precinct saying Captain Greer was shot. After I showed the message to Alex, we both maintained our composure and hastily said our goodbyes. Her dad seemed visibly upset with our unexpected departure, but I assured him it was all routine.To begin with, Alex’s father had never been happy with her choice to join the police force instead of following him in corporate law. I chuckled to myself, wondering how...
NovelsSex Change For Success By Brian [email protected] NEW YORK - Forget Adkins, Pilates, or even American Idol. The new road to success for today's young man is to become a woman! "It's not as radical as you might think," says Dr. Hillary Tanaka, founder of the 'Sex Change for Success' movement.

Mary arrived home a little earlier than usual. Her last class had ended by a fire drill so Mary and her best friend Jill slipped away rather than going back inside the school. They went their seperate ways. When Mary went upstairs she saw that her brother Roger's bedroom door was closed. She stopped outside the door and listened closely. She heard strange sounds coming from her brother so she assumed, correctly, that the sixteen year old was masturbating. Mary smiled as she ran her fingers...
This is the follow on from Punish Me No More, although you don’t have to read it to enjoy this… *** Matt took hold of Robin’s ponytail and pushed her roughly down onto her knees, putting her into the doggy position on the bed, and then he smacked her arse, HARD! ‘There’s a good little whore. Now, spread your legs, wide,’ he said, using his knee to push them further apart. Robin cried out, but the sound was muffled by the pillow that her face was pressed into. She felt Matt’s fingers open her...
Not that night, but several nights later, the ship Noia was aboard put into a small bight in the northern horn of land that protected North Port's harbor. Noia was one of those detailed as guards and she stood with her rifle ready on a sandy beach, while their captain dealt with the locals. She kept her eyes on the ground, mostly, because she knew some of the men who'd come to deal with the captain. They rowed back out to the ship, and moments later were headed further south. Noia had...
I watched her approach down the aisle of the plane, tall and elegant, totally professional, but something about her spoke of something more. To this day I cannot say what exactly it was even though the moment is etched on my mind. Maybe it was the glint in the deep brown eyes, maybe the slightly low cut of the blouse under the designer cut of her jacket? Perhaps the swing of her hips as she placed her trolley above me. Whatever it was I just had to watch her as she slowly and carefully unpacked...
Straight SexTricked to Serve – Part 4My tongue continued to lick and probe into Mistress Alyson’s girlfriend’s hole licking and sucking the mix of my and masked stranger’s cum, then swallowing and savouring every drop I could get, just as I had when on my knees cleaning her pussy of Mistress Alyson’s husband’s cum. All the time the hands of another masked man held my hips, his fingers pushing underneath the suspenders, which were pulled tighter against my skin in my kneeling position, as his thick cock...
America, fuck yeah! The tumultuous political climate today has Sean all fired up, and when he sees his sister’s friend Gia Love out back sunning by their pool, he marches out their to try to recruit her to his side. But it’s obvious that the blonde in the bikini doesn’t give two shits about Sean’s bluster, or his politics; all she cares about is turning her alabaster skin to a nice olive color. And to calm Sean’s jitters and aggressions regarding the state of the nation – but mostly to just get...
xmoviesforyouThe rest of the day was spent sightseeing around Santa Fe, but that turned into visits to promising saloons. After all, how many tourist attractions can you fit into a town of that size? That evening was spent patronizing another of Hank's favorite bordellos, but then it was time to leave Santa Fe. They flipped a coin, and that magical device told them to move east. Why not? A trip to Las Vegas in Miguel County might prove interesting. They were both riding in the buckboard and discussing...
Only the walk back to E Block was not uneventful. The ruse that I was a visiting female government official held up whilst the guard escorted me through the open yards; I even got quite a few cat-calls from the inmates out exercising, which I had to say, in a perverse way, I enjoyed. But then it all went bad. We entered the dark, cold, damp atmosphere of E Block, the clicking of my high-heels echoing off the abandoned cafeteria walls. We were about fifty feet from the grime-encrusted door...

LesbianSam watched the progress of those with him, he had to go a lot slower as he and Thantas were the only ones who open the worm holes. Then again, Thantas wasn’t that used to it as she’d only done it twice. She still wasn’t projecting as much power as was needed to get more than a few million miles. He was thankful that he could accommodate all of them. As he thought, the more they used it the better and stronger they became. Another look at those with him he could see that no matter what, his...
When I woke up on Wednesday, I figured that it was going to be boring. Wednesday, everyone was at work again, and this time, no Aaron. He surprised me by calling that morning, though. Usually I was the one who had to call him. I was actually surprised that he even still had the number. He asked me if there was any chance that I'd be at the park later that night, because he wanted to see me. I told him I had no idea, so we made plans to see each other the next day, regardless. We had no idea...
SUNDAY EVENING My father never cheated on my mother. So he told me just before my marriage, and I believed him. He knew all about the codes in my little black book and of my successes with members of the opposite sex. (If he had known about me and my sister, I think he would have killed me.) He was also aware, from me, of how hot my bride to be could be. But, he said, "Ric, a woman will forgive anything except infidelity." So far I've been faithful. But it hasn't been easy. I love my...
A Wish Unwanted - Part 17 by Limbo's Mistress "Lee," I said, the words catching in my throat, making the single word sound more like a croaked accusation rather than an astonished greeting. "Pee-Jay," he replied, smiling as his eyes glimmered behind the lenses. His hands continued to hold my arms. Not forcefully, but as if wanting to make sure I was going to remain upright if they let go. His touch brought with it that familiar, delightful, tingle that seemed to leap between us to...
From the view of Julia.The room was like the one he abused my body in with a gimp mask.I put my costume on ready and waited for the knock on the door. I contemplated lube, as after having him in me the other week, I was quite sore. Plus, he left me there with that vibrator on. Maybe he thought I could get out, but it was a little embarrassing, especially for that young boy who rescued me. I didn’t think he knew what was going on. It’s a pity he wasn’t older. Maybe I would have, well, maybe not,...

Erotic Massage SitesWe returned to real life, and real life problems. Aubrey was bringing in so little business, and seemed to be drinking, or so Andy told me. "He was in yesterday. I could smell Whisky on him, but he appeared sober, although I am not sure if he would pass the breathaliser test." I was concerned about this and was prepared for another vicious attack when next I saw him. However I would not postpone Eve's and my plans to marry. In many ways I had had enough of Aubrey. No longer would I...
Like the good and attentive wife she was, Wendy instantly recognised the symptoms. (Maybe they were not so hard to detect. I was standing there stark naked, red in the face and panting for air, a hand against the wall for support, with my dangling cock coated white with spunk dribbling in little gobbets on the floor.) "Hello, darling," she said brightly; "lovely to see you home so early. And how is young Kylie?" I corrected her misapprehension. "Wendy, darling, we have a new...

I barely knew Kara, but she was wild and the sex was great. I met her at a physical therapy office, she worked the front desk. I was there for a sports related injury and ended up asking her out. I was back in the office for another appointment when she suggested I get a massage for her friend Darren, who also worked there. “He has magic hands” she told me. That’s when things started to get complicated.Darren looked like the type of guy you would see in a perfume ad, diving into the sea. Young,...
John has been used by the girls’ teacher to demonstrate how to arouse and ejaculate a man. After class, one of the girls slips him a note to meet them later. John arrived at the school just after 7pm. He approached the west entrance, just as the note had instructed, but all was dark. He waited a few minutes, then turned to leave. Just then, there was a quiet creak from the door and a soft voice whispered, “This way!” The door was open just wide enough for him to slip inside into the darkness...
Abbie hadn't been much of a child gamer. In fact, she'd only heard about video games when she'd started high school. Her friends had been talking about the Nintendo Wii U. This had all been new to her, and after some research, she had discovered a whole new genre that would change 11-year-old Abbie's life forever. Something that would make her friendship bond stronger, as well as fill her endless hours of free time with something to do. She was an attractive 18-year-old, with brown skin, long...
FetishI really didn't know what was happening to me. It was as if my world, when I was in my apartment with Adam, narrowed down to a single thought: Cock. In all of my fantasizing and tentative experimentation, I had never anticipated the hunger I would have, the constant desire to touch, stroke, taste, and suck Adam's beautiful cock. It intoxicated me, and the feeling I got when I made him helpless with pleasure was like nothing I'd ever experienced. I loved the way he got hard in my hand or in my...

Her hands immediately clutched the sheets and her head fell back on the pillow.Then he started lapping her up, slow easy licks the full length of her slit from bottom to top.

NovelsThe day had been nonde, even boring, when I strolled across the hotel lobby after having had dinner nearby with a business prospect. With a few already in me, I decided on a simple nightcap featuring people-watching. The place wasn’t crowded at 9:30, and I found a reasonably comfortable chair which afforded a complete view of an uncrowded room. A waitress at least ten years younger than anyone who was in the room took my order sleepily, but she delivered my drink promptly enough. As I raised...

‘The bastard! I can’t believe he told everyone ‘what I’m like in bed’. I feel so revealed and hurt. I felt so special when I knew I had a secret, a dirty secret, but then he just goes and tells everyone about it.

I don’t want to be a guy, but sometimes I wish I had a penis. You know?—————————————————————————————————————I sat amused as one by one he showed me his dildos. Friends, strangers, lovers, they’ve all said they felt very free and open with me sexually, like I’d never judge them—and I never do. But I hadn’t had a show and tell with a guy and his sex toys before. He had mentioned it and I had asked. I was curious. He was nervous, but with a subdued excitement. We were both a little drunk.“And...
I am not normally a great one for social occasions. Although much of my work is dedicated to creating the perfect hostess, I choose most often the pleasure of my own company rather than that of others. Harwell Tusker and his wife did, however, know how to arrange a splendid event. The joint marriage of the twin Tusker daughters provided the occasion for my return to Benfield Abbas. It was the first time I had ventured there since the eventful river journey that had thwarted the carnal...

Charlie Shingle was almost done his watch when the flux officer relayed some disturbing information to him. Tiny sensors hidden deep within the Oort Cloud were registering a massive gravitic anomaly coming at almost 600 lights from the direction of the Epsilon Eridani system.

LesbianPed·o·phile, noun, An adult who is sexually attracted to a child or children. This is my first venture into erotic fiction. Lately, as I have gotten older, I have begun to spend some time reading the genre. Frankly I think that it is a healthy exercise. I am not sure that I understand why the word pedophile has so many meanings to so many people. A much younger Jimmy Carter once said in a Playboy Forum piece something to the effect that although he had not ever had an illicit affair, he had...
Being marked by death, probably for death! There’s probably some irony in there, but I was too scared out of my mind to find it. All I could do was stare at the scythe embellishing my tattoo and think of the impact it represented. Did I resent the consequences of my actions? Wholeheartedly! Would I do it again to save Samuel? You can bet your bottom dollar I would! I finally let my shirt fall back down again and looked up to see the council members still looking at me, although now their...
