The wedding was beautiful and as tradition demands the bride radiant, the wedding night however was less of a success. The reality was that the wedding couple hadn’t a clue. Alex was geeky and very pleased to have finally got a girlfriend at all let alone one who was very pretty. Lisa was by most people standards pretty but also very innocent. Lisa came from a highly conventional family and despite social pressures was very determined to stay a virgin until her wedding night. Alex was not so...
Farida looked at her reflection in the mirror and felt a small pebble of discontent land in the pit of her stomach. Today was her first day back university and she wasn’t looking forward to it at all. Anyone else should have been excited that they were embarking on their third and final year but Farida felt so stressed out she would have hidden and not gone in at all if she could. Although her grades at the end of the second year were not dire, they were still not as high as she had expected....
InterracialHe had seen her often over the last few months, intermittently. She was one of several employees that relied on the corporate housing in the gated community. Climbing into the company town car in the mornings as he headed out on his run, meeting the delivery personnel in the lobby to collect groceries or meals as he was collecting his mail, they had shared an elevator once in a while. But this evening as he sat on his balcony overlooking the river, he saw her walk out to the benches on the...

Sometimes a Good Notion... Prologue: The Black Lotus Cecil Barnes loved the flea market. There was just something about slowly meandering through the tables and seeing what people had put out there. It could literally be anything. There were the regulars that basically used their booths to run small businesses out of that were there every day; sometimes he got quite a few good deals there. There were people who were there for a day or two having a yard sale. People with their...
The following day, Anderson handed Farida the mock-up weekend retreat letter. Farida slipped it into her bag. That evening she showed it to Naeem and, thankfully, he didn’t question it. How could he when he had always encouraged and supported her Islamic studies? All Farida could think about was that, hopefully, the upcoming weekend would finally satisfy whatever Anderson wanted from her, and she could seal the arrangement as quickly as possible. On Anderson's part, once he had handed the...
Oral SexFarida grabbed a sandwich before making her way to the library. She was so grateful for Anderson's help that she was almost glad that Mrs. Barrington had taken sick leave. Not that Farida wished her any harm but she had been nowhere near as dedicated to her students as Anderson evidently was. In his lectures, the theatre seemed to come alive somehow with his passion for the subject in a way that Mrs. Barrington had never been able to achieve and she had certainly never promoted an open office...
FetishAcross town, Marnie was far from relaxed. She was very, very pissed off. She lit a cigarette and poured a glass of wine. Taking a deep drag on her cigarette, Marnie sucked it deeply into her lungs before expelling an angry cloud of smoke. She hadn’t bought Anderson’s excuse at all. Usually, when she had been away, he was right there ready for her, begging for it. Marnie knew Anderson well and, for good measure, she had sent a text to Toby’s girlfriend Karen, asking if she fancied coming round...
Interracialk "The Collared Lotus" A Work of Fiction by Traveller CHAPTER: 1 Li Rong Kui was a young, up and coming model. At twenty three, she was well known in the fetish community on the internet. She was a natural talent, knowing how to react, how to communicate with her body. One thing she learned from the bondage community was that it was all about vocal protests at a bondage video shoot. The audience wanted muffled, erotic moans. Needless to say, she delivered it very well. Li Rong had...
‘I’m not sure it’s a good idea for us to go out.’ Farida’s face was flooded with worry. ‘Why not?’ Anderson pushed his hands into his jeans pockets and tried to look casual but, inside, he felt a flurry of panic that his best-laid plans may be scuppered. ‘It will be good for us to get some air. Come on, we’ll take a walk into town. I’ll treat you to brunch at The Willows. It’s a beautiful vegetarian place; I promise you will love it.’ ‘What if I see someone I know?’ Farida asked. ‘I very...
TabooLet me say right up front that Gunther was definitely not a young man.I knew he had been around the Santa operation at the North Pole long before I arrived with my bright ideas for cost reduction. I was called in to promote increased toy production by the easily distracted Elves. Those little imps preferred being silly rather than busy little workers focused on their quotas like dedicated employees. As a small-sized human male, I was able to relate easily to the female Elves because they liked...
Fantasy & Sci-FiTim and Emma were ready to go home by ten minutes after midnight. It wasn’t because they were tired or bored. It was because what they wanted to do with their partners could not be done in the midst of all those people. Bob was mellowed out by then. All he did was grab the half-empty bottle of The Glenlivet as his daughter pulled his hand, leading him out to the parking lot. “I’m driving,” she said, reaching into her father’s pocket to find his keys. “Okay,” he said, amiably. He wasn’t...
~~~ Finally, the weekend was over and it was time for Farida to go home. Anderson took her to the station and, as they waited for her train, Anderson put a reassuring arm around her shoulder and kissed the top of her head. ‘It wasn’t all bad was it?’ He suddenly felt and sounded unsure of himself. Farida shook her head and gripped the handle of her overnight bag tightly. She turned to him. ‘No, it wasn’t all bad.’ She’d smiled at Anderson’s question but now she stared at him. ‘As long as...
Oral SexRandi's Vacation Randi woke up to his alarm and quickly silenced it. A quick glance to his left confirmed the Denise was already up. She almost always got up before him preferring some extra time between getting ready for work and needing to walk out the door. He preferred to have enough time to get ready, eat and go. He walked to the bathroom which was right in the master bedroom. The condo they bought was a bit extravagant but provided plenty of room and they could afford it on...
‘Does this feel good? Just relax, let yourself go.’ I moan involuntarily as I feel Lori’s hands, covered in warm oil, work their way down my spine. Her expert fingers massage my muscles in a circular motion, her hands sliding lower, her fingers hesitating where the towel rests loosely on my hips. I take a deep, shaky breath. ‘Jasmine, you have been coming here for a month now, you need to relax.’ Lori’s voice is soft, deep and sexy, which sends chills down my spine. She moves, her fingers...
Andrea Standing (part 2 of Andrea's Stand) A note at the beginning. One of the problems with writing a serial story is that the author feels a need to recap what happened in the prior portions. Please go back and read part 1, "Andrew Running". It will make this a better story. Briefly Andrew at 19, abused by his father, runs away to a distant relative, Aunt Clara. Andrew goes along with a joke played by Clara's lover Marnie, and ends up as Andrea working in Marnie's luxury used car...
I slid the report into the proper file just as he walked into the room. Dennis Butz stood there wearing his three-piece suit, looking as handsome and charming as any man could. But I was not to be tamed by his charm. "Hello, Linda," he said with a friendly grin. "Judge Herns isn't in today," I replied back in a frosty tone. "I'm not here to see her." "My plane leaves in less then an hour Dennis, what do you want?" I slammed the file drawer shut and walked past him to my desk...
Kendra escorted Robyn back to her room, the pair said nothing, although the guest was extremely confused. “How many people are here today,” Robyn asked.“Just you and Mr. Manning.” They reached Robyn’s room.“What can you tell me about him,” she asked as she punched in her key code. I’d guess quite a bit, considering I watched you go down on him…“Mr. Manning is a successful real estate owner in the city and is here quite a bit. He has a fairly stressful life, and this has become his oasis.”...
Straight SexHum dono abhi bhi nange hi thay. Chalte chalte usne paad maari. Uski gaand mein abhi bhi haddi akti hui thi. Nadi kinare, jhadiyon ke bich usko bithaya. “Hug le saali madarchod. Kab se paad rahi jai bhosdiki.” Woh hugne lagi. Uski gaand se haddi nikal gayi. Uski garam moot ki dhaar mere pairo pe giri. “Saali maderjaat! Mere pairon pe mootegi. Saali raand muh khol,” main uske muh mein mootne laga. Lavda uske gale mein ghus kar mootne laga. Maine apni tange faila di aur wahi khade khade hugne...
Report to the King of Sparta. B.C 481 "We must conclude that there was more then one Persian ship in our waters. When one met with disaster in the storm, the other picked up survivors and as much wreckage as it could. The shield is the only piece of wreckage that signifies Persian identity. There can be no doubt that it was a spying mission or an attempt to land agents of Persia on our soil or the soil of a neighbouring state. We cannot ignore the possibility that a neighbour may actually...
Mera naam Rudra hai. Ek number ka harami aur besharam. Mera dimaag mere lavde mein hai, jo saala har waqt chudai ke liye uchalte rehta hai. Kasarati badan jo ghanto tak lavde ka saath deta hai. Waise toh bachpan se hi kaafi chudai ki hai. Lekin yeh wali sabse achi wali, ya yeh kahu ki sab se gandi wali hai. Main tab 30 saal ka tha. Shaadi hui nahi thi. Ghar mein rehta hi nahi tha.

Andrea On Her Own (Part 3 of Andrea's Stand) A Note Before: If you have not read parts 1 and 2, please go back and do so. I have spent some time trying to develop the characters involved and a brief description of the plot so far will not help you much. Chapter 1: Needing More I leaned back in my chair and stretched. It had been a long hour and a half finishing the homework from my calc. class. As I stretched I felt the sweater pressing against the breast forms and glanced...
Andrew Running (part 1 of Andrea's Stand) Chapter 1: Running I called my Aunt Clara from the bus station. She didn't seem that surprised to hear from me and when I explained why I was there she told me to walk a couple of blocks to the local diner and get myself a cup of coffee. She'd pick me up in about half an hour. I sat and sipped chocolate milk and tried to eat a pastry while I glanced nervously out of the window waiting for my father to show up and force me into his...

IncestI was stationed overseas in Asia working in Army Criminal Investigations Unit. We worked a lot with the Local Police force on Black Market Investigations, as such I got to know a lot of local businesses. We were hot after a local gang that were siphoning a lot of goods and supplies meant for the American Military bases and we were not having much luck. Seems we'd get so close a big bust and we'd either miss altogether or find some small operation. The frustration colored everything and affected...
A psychologist might have theorized that Fumiko just wanted something to seem “normal” to her. In her world, that meant a man, in this situation, took what he wanted. The difference from what was “normal” in her previous life was that she was willing to give him what he wanted, to be an active, eager participant in the event. She reached for his penis and, to her shock, found it soft! “What is wrong?” she gasped. “I thought we were finished,” said Bob. “We are not finished!” said Fumiko,...

There was a 70 year old grandma that moved in right next to my apartment, I was 18 at the time and my grandpa was 74. I lived with my grandpa at the time. The old grandma would come to talk to my grandpa each day, she would keep teasing him, she would flirt with him, she tried to seduce him. My grandpa ignored her at first but then he started flirting with her after a couple days. I once came out of my apartment only to see her sucking his dick outside on the porch while he was touching her...
He watched them as they sat sipping their colorful drinks and flirting with male guests and hotel employees alike at the Garden Cloud Lounge. They were undoubtedly four sisters, all in their late twenties and thirties, and attractive. They were obviously American, and they laughed as they tried what little Spanish they knew on the young waiters. He had seen groups like this many times. Their often affluent husbands allowed them to have "Girl's Time Off" now and then. It worked out on both...
Catherine and Alexander by: Bruce Leach Although the children never knew it times had been rough in the castle. Their father, the Duke of Beaufort, had in recent days made a number of unfortunate alliances that put not only his fortune but his entire properties and even his own life in jeopardy. In these days after the king's death the wrong friends could mean accusations of treachery and the Duke had made all the wrong friends. Things looked bleak until he had an...
When the car with Jake in it became a dot on the horizon, Thea turned to go back in the house. Suddenly Floyd appeared. “Mrs. Thea, how you be?” Smiling, she knew immediately what he wanted. He had that look and a glance at his crotch confirmed it. The imprint of his cock was prominent as it pushed against the material. “Looks like everyone is gone.” Floyd said. His eyes looking out over the farm. “Yes, I am by myself for at least the next few days.” She replied in an...
I stood there in my black dress watching them slowly lower the casket into the ground. Standing next to me was my mother, who was weeping softly. Next to her was my sister Jennifer, and she seemed the saddest of us all. Perhaps she was remembering her own mother and father's funeral who had both died when she was just a young girl. On the other side of the casket I could see Crius standing next to Dennis with an impatient frown. He seemed so out of place, and the expression on...

So there I was. Detention. As usual. Girls like me ended up there a lot. I'm your stereotypical punk rock fuck up, a troublemaker. And so at 3:38, as usually, I was in room 204, Detention. I sat there looking down at homework, pretending I was doing it. Just then, Heather Sanchez, the feisty Hispanic homecoming queen came waltzing through the door. She took a seat down next to me, and I gave her a shocked look. I mean, who'd imagine that the perfect teenage girl would end up next to me? There...
Lesbianby Millie Dynamite Jaden and I meet a few weeks after he transferred to the Naval base just outside of town. I sat on a bar stool sipping my Pappy Van Winkle when this tall African-American man in full dress uniform sat next to me. He whore captain’s bars. He possessed an air of authority. I nodded to him when perched on the next stool. He returned my nod with his own acknowledgment, in a deep voice he said, “Yo.” He spoke without looking at me. “I’ll have bourbon, make it a shot of Evan...
I suck at doing Flash stories, but here is one last try! I'm badly behind this week so I didn't have time to get this story editing. Hopefully the inevitable typos and errors are minor. This story is based upon the classic Spike Jones version of the song. The original Billie Holiday version is pretty darned good too! The Spike Jones version of My Old Flame is available as a free unrestricted MP3 Download...
Becoming Brandee Chapter Four: Richard picked me up in his Lexus at the steps of the beauty salon. It was another wonderful experience. All the operators knew him and about me. I now had acrylic nails in a French style that were ? inch from the tips of my dainty fingers. I also had electrolysis and laser hair removal sessions as well. The girls treated me with a lot of fussing and tenderness and made me feel so welcomed there. I was already looking forward to my next...

Armand Wilson sat in his home office/study sighing. From the office, things had looked pretty good; business was on track, and Sharon appeared to be handling her new situation well. But in the car on the way home, Armand began getting bad vibes, and when he arrived at his mansion, things were even worse. Everyone on staff was walking around as if on eggshells. It took Armand about twenty minutes' worth of snooping, but the situation resolved itself -- the Hernandez' quarters were an armed...
by Oediplex 8==3~ The sweetest mom discovers her boy is both convenient and delightful. [She also recounts when her dad fucked her at nineteen!] Like the name of Madame DeVille's moniker, Cruella, some names fit the personality they are bestowed upon.

Though there were aspects of mom that paralleled the...

I'd like to say the evening started out simply by my being simply intrigued. except I knew it was a good deal more than that and now I wasn't so sure it had been such a good idea. Down below though a certain appendage of mine was begging to differ. I was stood by the bar, waiting to be...

Well, now it's time for school. Candace and I go to a small high school, not private, but because we are so rich, it is not exactly public either. The students have been screened by my fathers' security teams; they are all exceptionally bright, well mannered, not prone to causing trouble, and to add ice cream to the pie, all are very good looking. There are 40 students, 20 boys and 20 girls. When the school was larger it had state champion quality teams in boys basketball, girls volleyball...
Hi, I'm Andrew; at least I was Andrew full time until about a month ago. I have always been fascinated by lingerie: its feel, its appearance, how it just makes a body look that much more sexy. Like most curious types I started young (at sixteen, so not all that young), swiping what I could from my sisters or cousins when I could and squirreling my prizes away until I could find time for them. I will always remember the first time I put a pair of lace panties on; my erection was instantaneous! I...

BRRRRIIIIIIINNNGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!The alarm clock that my wife and I mockingly referred to as “Baby Ben” sounded off and pulled me from what I first thought was a great dream. As my senses slowly came online, I could feel my hand laid over my naked wife’s breasts and that I wasn’t in my usual gym shorts and t-shirt. I was surrounded in silk, and it was not unpleasant, but it was a floor length nightgown! The events of the previous night slowly began to trickle back into focus, and the...
CrossdressingAs I played with Vanessa, Caroline, Sylvette, Mike, and Jill, the rest of our group went to an area that traditionally was for people who liked to give a show, and, with appropriate respect, have strangers approach and look into participating. Joyce, Molly Anne, Kris, and Rachel Before coming to the dungeon, Joyce had been muttering, “If I have a Domme body, I might as well try it out.” Anytime you put extra-high heels on a woman over six feet tall, it creates an impression. Her...
Early September. School is back in session. Sandy and Randy, being the same age, go to most of the same classes. They, of course, keep it cool between them, since you know how gossipy high-schoolers can be. Because they both were born the same day, they have always celebrated birthdays together. They never minded, and this time was no exception, even now as ‘14-year-old teenagers.’ After school, there was soccer and other sports, so they were always away from each other. Their mom was still...
This is a story about a sexual FANTASY written for consenting adults. If you're not both of those, don't read it. Characters in a FANTASY don't get sick or die unless I want them to. In real life, people who don't use condoms and other safe-sex techniques do get sick and die. You don't live in a FANTASY so be safe. The fictional characters in my stories are trained and experienced in acts of FANTASY - don't try to do what they do - someone could get hurt. If you think you know somebody...
