Bunk Beds: Chapter One By Isis Eris I was the fifth name on the lease; I was a last minute addition. The thing is that it's only a four bedroom apartment and I'm the fifth person - and the only guy.

Bunk Beds: Chapter 2 By Isis Eris I was staring into the mirror. The bright blue hair that hung down to my chest seemed so strange to me - perhaps even more so than being in a female body. Well, I guess suddenly being of Asian descent is weird, too. I couldn't believe this is happening to me. I looked at my reflection. I was wearing...

Bunk Beds --Chapter 8 By Isis Eris I apologized to Beth for being a little catty with her earlier and I asked her to help me get dressed.

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...

Bunk Beds - Chapter 5 By Isis Eris *** "You're going to have to lend me some money," Karen said. "Why?" I asked. We were walking into the entrance of the university gym. I was in her body, and wearing sweatpants and a tank top. Oh - and a sports bra, which was supporting my B-cup breasts. I had a change of clothes in my...
My fuck-buddy Rob has always been fascinated to hear about my time in prison. I told him early on in our hook-ups that life inside hadn't actually been that interesting – that it was mostly mind-splittingly dull and that the sex, such as it was, was brief and infrequent – but he keeps asking about it as if he thinks I'm holding back on telling him all the juicy bits."There must have been more to it than that, Edward," he'd insisted one of the first times we met up. Edward isn't my name, by the...
Gay MaleGeography Classroom, Medway High School 2:36pm, Thursday, March 1, 1979 “ ... This song is called, Beds Are Burning,” I said with a sense of pride in my voice. As I was thinking of songs to play for this presentation, I just happened to remember the band, Midnight Oil. Then, I quickly stumbled upon this wonderful song and I just knew we’d have to play it. (Note: This song is from 1987. However, I liked how it fit with our presentation on various Australian performers or groups and their...
Lucy and Hannah had always known each other and shared space for as long as either of them could remember. They shared it intimately in the bedroom and the bathroom. They were sisters only ten months apart. They shared a small two bedroom inner city apartment with their mother as the male presence in their lives disappearing while they were both toddlers. They were brought up very strictly by their mother who insisted they attend the local all girls’ Catholic school and got an overload of moral...
Mark was walking through the derelict factory, he was bunking off school, he hardly ever went because when he did he was bullied, he knew it was his own fault because he was a flasher and well hated. As he crossed into the old offices he saw 16 year Cindy one of the local hard bitches who he had flashed a couple of times, she looked at him said ” going to get your cock out are you” Mark looked at her, Cindy said ” come on get the fucking thing out you got a nice size on you some of the girls...
The Bedsit A Short Story By Maryanne Peters "I have good news," he said. "There is still no room at my place, but you can at a bedsit just down the hall from us. And better still the rent is minimal." Harry seemed pleased with himself. "What's the catch?" I asked. London was a hard place to find anything, let alone in his location. "Well, the room is already occupied, so storage space is limited," said Harry. "But the tenant is away for an extended period. Your rent...
King-size beds are large, but split four ways they only allow a bit over nineteen inches of space for each person. Lesa looked at her bedside clock. Without her glasses she had to squint to see '12:15 AM' on the face of the clock radio. The soft breathing from the three bodies next to her brought a satisfied smile that filled her naked body. It was odd that nothing had happened more than the four of them climbing into bed and cuddling close. Lesa was not sure whether they were all lost in...
We went to the bedroom and the bed was ready with pillows for the fireworks, what our ANR love would bring to us. I was no longer an ANR virgin so I was confident. Olga said, "If you want I could give you oral sex first, because my breast isn't yet full of milk and you'll be able to build up your own fluid." I told her, "I like that idea." "I gave you pineapple for lunch so your sperm will be very tasty for me. It's like what happens to my breast milk when I eat chili." My cock...

Chapter Three The next morning, wearing a clean and dry pair of jockey shorts, Charlie headed into the office where he was met by knowing looks from Simon and a hug from Beatrice. Beatrice was three years older than Charlie with a plump figure and an open, welcoming smile that spread all the way into her eyes. In her own way she loved both of the men she worked with but she found neither of them attractive. Preferring to gaze at the parade of young women that walked passed the...

Chapter ThreeWhen I woke clear headed enough to sit up in my bed I was surprised to find myself naked on top of the covers. I shook my head in disbelief, What a crazy dream... Then I noticed that I wasn't naked on top of just my sheets. No, I was naked on top of the covers and on top of the plastic mat that is used to play Twister. The game with all the different colored circles. Right Hand Red, Left foot Blue... I'm sure you know the game. My memories were jumbled but I was sure I would have...

Darren's Dilemma Chapter Four The Shopping Expedition By Suzie Q Haff I awoke to the sound of a gurgling brook, chirping birds, and Jana calling me gently in the distance. She was bent kneeling over me. Her long hair was tickling my nose on purpose. Jana gently shaking me: "Darla dear... Wake up already!" I started to stir and she kissed me gently. "Good morning Little Sis." She tugs the leash. "I love you and now you are mine." How could I forget? "I have everything I need to...
The phone rang; I answered it, “Hello.” It was my mother in law, Helen, “Hi Tim, it’s Helen; Wendy’s been trying to get hold of you.” I said, “I’ve had trouble with my mobile and have just got home from work.” She sounded to be in a panic and said, “It’s Wendy she’s in hospital.” I asked, “What happened?” Helen replied, “I don’t know all the details, but the nurse said she’s been in an accident. The nurse has been trying to get hold of you for hours.” I started to panic and asked, “Yeah,...

CHAPTER FOUR: Communication pretty much ended at that point. His hand moved to my breast and fondled it as he sought out my mouth with his. As our cheeks touched in our passion, I felt the prickling of his whiskers, which became distinct within days if he didn’t shave, and it was another part of him that yelled rugged and manly. But, like now, the person inside was sometimes different, softer, and yielding. The seeming contradiction experienced simultaneously was in itself tremendously...
Skipper, Chapter Four - By: Beverly Taff I woke the next morning to a knock on my door as Sissy brought me breakfast. I was feeling deadly. "God you look a mess. You'd better get yourself home and tidied up before Margaret sees you. She'll be here all afternoon doing my accounts." After finishing breakfast, I sneaked out to my car and drove home to clean up and choose a new outfit. This took most of the morning and after I was finally happy about my appearance, I carefully hung...
This is the story of my first one night stand. I had had 2 long term girlfriends but had split from the last one about 8 months before this incident. I had been working in London with a team of about 10 people, 2 were women. As we were all on short contracts of only 3 months and none of us lived in London (most coming from Oxford, and I from Birmingham) our employers put us up in a low quality hotel in east London for Monday-Thursday nights, with the team being driven back to oxford on Friday...

JULY 2002, SUMMER CAMP Dawn, Adrienne, and I decided to skip this morning's hike. We were just too wiped out from the previous evening's post-dance orgy, me especially. And so it was that the two girls hung out in the main lounge at the lodge, chatting with each other while I reclined out on the deck, just resting my weary body. It was still quite cool in the morning, enough to require a sweater, so there wasn't anyone else outside with me. I enjoyed the solitude and the quiet sounds of...
I, Jennifer By Michele Nylons Chapter Four: The End Max Middleton, head of both the Special Products Division and the Special Operations Unit was using his Omni to communicate with Will Faraday.

MatureChapter Twenty-Four - Other Partners Only a simple action required, open front door with your key and a twist on the knob; Laura’s persona changed from wife of Dan to mistress of her other home, her home with Greg. Less than two hours before, she woke up beside her husband, made coffee in the kitchen, showered in their bathroom, and pulled a simple shift over her head for dress. She kissed Dan as she handed over his first morning cup of coffee, and watched him take his first few sips. Turning...
CuckoldDetective's Blues Chapter Four By joeshmoe547 Thursday, July 1, 2002 I awoke between Jim and James as the morning sun filtered through the abandoned warehouse's dirty windows. I was snuggled against James' broad back, my breasts crushed between us, as I pressed close against him to ward off the early morning chill. I could feel Jim behind me, his hips curled tight against mine. My head ached slightly from the beer I had drunk last night as I sat up. Groggily, I thought...
Betrayed By Cherysse St. Claire (c) Chapter 4: Let The Games Begin I really wasn't surprised when Dianna directed me into the parking lot at Ringers. It was only a few blocks across town from my new home; a five-minute drive, if the traffic wasn't killing at the time. Consciously, it had not been a factor in my decision to take the new place. Sub-consciously... well, who knows? "Pop the trunk," she instructed as I shifted into Park. I complied. She didn't wait for me to get her...
Show Gurlz - Chapter 16 - The Boys at Table Four I'd hardly walked through the door when Jo was all over me. I glanced at the clock. It was 8:30 PM. "Where did you go? What did you think you'd accomplish? You're stupider than I thought you were. You can't cross Carroll that way." I didn't think of it as crossing, merely negotiating. I didn't respond, just headed towards the stairs with my suitcase. She stopped me with two words. "Julie's home." "Really? Where?" "She went...
JackassTales…Tale # 67 …Readers; this is an entry in a Calling All Writers challenge. I am not usually a writer of ‘dark’ tales, yet the subject of this challenge is a gloomy, foggy picture with a lone woman walking through empty streets. For me, this picture inspired a violent story where a fine line between rape and reluctance is explored. This is an especially short tale, but I hope I have given readers of this narrative a complete story. I have taken the liberty of using two male...

Barrack Room Betty By Michele Nylons Chapter Four - A Night at the Flicks Michele was confused; she didn't like Leading Recruit Jason Jones one bit, he was a bully but he was also handsome, strong and actually quite intelligent. She knew he had a thing for her as soon as the Leading Recruits made the grommets crossdress, and of course last night he had ejaculated in his pants when he was spanking her. Michele was no prude, she liked having sex as a transvestite, her Uncle had...

Between all of them, they only had twosomes, but never more than that. When Gina Suggested a straight foursome, it was on.

Incest(((((Yet another chapter re-written.))))) Monday morning Jason was bouncing in his seat with excitement at going to the south of Spain. His excitement extended to other things as soon as his dad left for work. We hadn't had sex since Friday afternoon with Jason's dad staying home for the weekend. We watched from the living room window until my husband's car backed out of the driveway. Not wanting to wait any longer Jason stripped his shorts down and pulled me to sit on my knees as he plunked...

The Game by Michele Nylons Chapter Four - The Railway Underpass September 2007 So! Bethany was the Quizmaster! She had used the same lavender coloured paper and had obviously put the pantyhose in David's pocket so that Marie would find them. David called Bethany on her cell phone and she answered; it sounded like there was a raucous party going on in the background. She was obviously about to sail on her cruise. He levelled his accusation at her and she laughed drunkenly...
