Chapter 5 - Just Research The library was not hard to find as it occupied a good-sized building just down the road from the central area. It had obviously been a church at one time, probably the largest in the area, and it must have been recommissioned as the library when a newer building had been built closer to Laramie proper. The parking lot was hard-packed gravel, but it was a pretty good size. Mary Sue gathered her things and headed up the stairs to the front doors, finding...
Philip Johnson Prologue The offer of impressive things for free creates greed. Start by throwing in a generous amount of free vacation with impressive free goodies, and all worth tens of thousands of dollars. Add a few vital ingredients like…well let’s throw in a great amount of nudity. Add a lot of passion and lust, and cook the recipe in a hot tropical setting. Spread around and through your average monogamous couples living average and pretty proper lives, and that don’t know each other,...
You are a genius. All your life you've been smarter than everyone else you've ever known. You've never really known why, all knowledge just seems to come easier to you. You've always loved science and chemistry and always naturally understood it where others have had problems with it, to the point where you've actually understood it better than your actual teachers. But unlike most young geniuses who are all over-achievers and pompous jerks, you have always been very humble about your...
Primary Research by Some Writer "Have you heard what Amanda's doing?" "What's that?" I was sat at work, bored as usual, listening to the women behind me natter on, partly because I had nothing better to do, but mainly because Icouldn't avoid it. "Well, you know she's doing that degree part-time in what was it - psychology or something?" "Oh yes, I remember that." "Well, she's decided to study bondage and S'n'M!" "Really?" "Yep, heard her say it myself.She's trying to find someone who's...
All of our requests and suggestions have been successfully negotiated with the government offices and implemented to my family's satisfaction. Several surplus air fields in South Texas had been transferred to our ownership. We were now the proud owners of five high lift aircraft. Associated staffing was underway from among recently retired or released marine personnel. Contracts were in hand at attractive rates to ferry heavy equipment around the globe. An international bank had been...
It's Just Research By Julie O Edited By Itinerant Chapter 1 Stephen Owens looked at his watch and saw that ten minutes had passed since the last time he had looked at it. He was beginning to think that the man he was scheduled to meet wasn't going to show up. Glancing around the bar, he...
RESEARCH By GENEVA Marty, a professor, and Dean, a graduate student friend, are working in some archives when Dean uncovers and steals a magic book. Through it he is accidentally changed into a woman. Marty helps the new woman begin making the best of her new reality. Dr. Martin Wright squinted as he stepped out of the doors of the gloomy archives building into the bright sun. It had been a productive day and he had almost filled his notebook with data from the files. Now he...
Clark Lane was a 23 year old junior clerk working in a Coroners Office in a major city. He was a good looking young man with the unfortunate appearance of a nerd. But he was not. The only reason he had not pursued his education past High School was that his parents could not afford to help him financially. It was a pity as he was a very clever young man with a lot of common sense. Since High School, he had done every self improvement school or course he possibly could with his limited...
Tyler I approached Nicole, and stopped for a moment. She was eating a hamburger. I never saw her eat a hamburger before. She looked so happy at that moment. She took a big bite, and I watched her close her eyes and chew what she just ate in a moment of ecstasy. Wow. This was certainly a side of her I had never seen before. It's been a while since I've seen her just smile like that. She opened her eyes and looked gleefully at her side fries. She picked a fry up, dipped it in...
Preamble : Removal Men Preamble : Removal Men Rebecca Hales was tired. It had been a long flight. She dragged her trolley bag through the front door of the flat she shared with her boyfriend. ?Larry?? she called, not really expecting him to be there. No reply. Then she saw the note on the hall table. ?Hi Hun, welcome back,? it said. ?I?m up in town tonight. Call me tomorrow when you get back, we?ll do lunch if you?re not too tired.? She looked at her watch. Half past nine. Time enough...
I got back to the London offices the following day. A comfortable flight had made it easier but I was still suffering from jet lag. Still I doubted that I was feeling as rough as the packages that had been in the hold. Freddie gave me a call and suggested a meeting. He wanted an update on progress. I was happy that I had some ideas after my various trips. We agreed to meet in the board room the following afternoon. Clegg arrived on time, looking in as good humour as he usually was....
Therapeutic Research by joannebarbarella My job had been outsourced to India or some such place where programmers cost one tenth of what I did and as a result I was desperately searching for work. Weeks went by without any sniff of an opportunity related to my specialty or experience, as presumably, all the other firms were doing the same thing in order to stay competitive. Globalization may be a good thing in the overall scene but, believe me, it doesn't feel like it when you are...
Course 8 / Day 27: Course Progress Meeting Participant Notes: Fifty Jo: I conducted an informal progress review with Fifty this pm. I'm pleased overall with her progress. After worries early on as to how well she would respond to obedience training (given her initial presentation when she started the course), I consider that those issues need no longer give concern. Fifty appears comfortable (or at least acquiesces) with the regime and her expectations from the course seem to be being met....
Market Research Part 2 This was a standard white envelope addressed to Ms. Andrew White. "Why is this continuing?", I thought. Every letter addressed "Ms" was another opportunity for my secret to be exposed. Resigned, I opened the letter and read. Dear Ms. Andrew White, We hope you are enjoying your Sheer Energy pantyhose. We value our customers and their feedback and hope you will fill out the questionnaire included with this letter. Feedback from customers like yourself...
Market day....a day filled with visual stimulant and an abundance of flesh.The city usually hosts a market day at the park grounds on a monthly basis, the second Sunday of each month. I generally try to get to a couple of them a year, mainly because of the fresh produce on hand, and wall to wall skin......female skin.The town bus also runs a special day service just for the markets. In and out only once on the day, it leaves at a much earlier time of 6am sharp, returning after 6pm in the...
I looked again at the photographs. I'd often fantasised about having Rebecca like that but somehow things had never worked out that way. I handed the photographs back to Clegg. "There's only one trouble with your suggestion though," I said as I pulled an envelop from my own jacket, took out the sheet of paper within and handed it to Clegg. He peered at it and read it out laughing, "Rebecca, I'm sorry. This will be a shock but there's no easy way to say it. I think we should end it....
Mai 21 yrs old, graduate student hu. Ek din jab mai ground se khel kr apne ghar ja rha tha tab maine ek aunty ko dekha. Maine unhe peeche se dekha, kya gaand thi unki mann toh kr rha tha ki unko peeche se pakad kr sadak pe hi choosne lgu. Unhone ek transparent black saree pehen rkhi thi aur unka blouse deep cut tha aur unki saree bhi low waist thi. Unka navel baalusaahi sweet ki trah gol tha mann kr rha tha ki unki kamar pakad kr unki navel ko choosta rahu. Jab maine unhe saamne se dekha tab...
7 - Research Judy had not forgotten Sharon's comment about getting Adam "fixed up". She did some internet research and then made an appointment with Dr Sheila Carruthers. She quizzed her closely on what could be done to feminise Adam. The surgeon did stress was that face modification was more important than body. "They all want to have boobs", she said, "but their faces and voices give the game away. They just end up looking and sounding like men in drag. It's expensive, but I...
I hated to admit it but Freddie was right. There wasn't much else I could do after I had put the flat back together again so I went in to the office as usual. I reckoned the kidnappers would find me if they had something to say. I tried to do some work on the Glennis request. I'm not a big fan of desk research, it's pretty dull to start with, but sometimes it's the only way to find out what you need to know. Normally I do this stuff to analyse markets; this time it was to look for a...
The Researcher By MadQuill Please remember this is a copyrighted work and all legal disclaimers apply. This is a work of Fiction and will have additional chapters. Thank you for your comments. One She and I had known each other for nearly a year when she asked me if I would move in. My world wasn't much to leave behind but I'd paused since I had felt I should be contributing. "The apartment is spacious Jon but my father's company owns it and therefore I don't pay the...
Charles swept into the club at about 9 in the evening one Friday evening Charles swept into the club at about 9 in the evening one Friday evening. It was a private club that a friend had recommended.? He had never been there before but seemed quite at ease. ?The club was full but not crowded, with many Doms and Dommes there with their subs, both male and female.? He wasn?t anything particularly special to look at, about 6 foot tall with muscles that rippled slightly as he strode across...
I gave Freddie an update on Rachel's progress. He seemed happy. I was wondering whether he was really worried about the outcome or whether he was just keen to see me getting fully involved. Whichever was the case, the threat of violent intervention appeared to have receded. Rachel was still completing the programme. I'd called Sarah into my office. She appeared, smartly dressed as always her clearly visible collar the only real indication of her slave status, exactly on time. "Good...
Cindy didn't spend too long in prep. The Emir wanted his new acquisitions "fresh" as he called it. That was fine by us. I'd gone down to the customer lounge to join Rick for the handover of the remaining eight of the Emir's household slaves, four house maids, three for 'entertaining' clients and his new PA. We'd got together pretty much everything he'd wanted and, of course Cindy as well. Tricia had suggested using Brian's daughters, Beth and Ella, as two of the 'entertainers', I...
Allison was thinking. She had spent a couple of hours after work reading the papers that Cerys had given her and searching on the Internet. It seemed like there was an infinite range of things that might be included in a contract like the one Cerys was looking for. It all depended on what sort of dominant / submissive relationship they had going, what sort of kinks they enjoyed and what Cerys wanted out of it. Actually, Allison thought, I guess it depends what he wants out of it too. To...
"How many applications do you think we have now," Dr. Horton asked his research assistant, Doris Brewer!?! "About fifty I'd guess," she replied while scanning the list, "and we have a nice cross section of ages, all the way from nineteen up to sixty three!!!" "Good," he said, "what's the breakdown on married and single!?!" "About 70-30," she replied, "with most of them being single!!!" "Hmmm, I wish we had more married women participating in the survey," he opined, "but I guess a lot of...
MasturbationThere was a knock on the door, my wife,Donna, opened it and there was a man stood there saying he was a market researcher doing research on our shopping and were we available to answer some questions? My wife invited him in and he sat on the sofa and took out a laptop and began to explain about the questions.During the Q & A session, we found out he was happily married of 30 years, he was 58 years old and had been doing the job for around five years. I could see Donna had other ideas, she...

Market Research Part 3 I sat in the food court across from Victoria's Secret and worked up my courage as I went over my plan. I'd driven to the mall thirty miles north of my town to reduce the chance anyone I knew would see me. I'd stopped along the way to pull $40 in cash from my bank account. My story was that I was purchasing a pair of panties for my girlfriend. It was Sunday morning and the mall had just opened so I hoped there would not be many other customers. I rehearsed...
I was up in the Sales Centre watching another auction. Some of the women that had taken longer in orientation were now ready for market. Brian was convinced that prices were starting to rise. I still wasn't convinced. I looked around the room; it didn't look like there were too many buyers to me. I saw that the first lot onto the platform was to be Julia. I'd seen her, after she'd got over the punishments for her escape attempt, being trained to play her part in the auction. Brian was...
It was the following day. Harry and I were sat in a small bar in a hotel overlooking the river. He'd been up in town for a meeting with Freddie. I felt that at least owed him a drink for helping sort out Rachel. He'd been good enough not to make too much of a joke of it around the place, too. He'd been sympathetic about what happened and gave me a bit of a lecture on not turning my back on work in progress. Nothing I didn't deserve. I wasn't going to let it happen again. It was...
I was in the staff bar chatting with Rick. "Just wanted to give you a bit of feed-back," I said. "The Kalinin called last night. He's as pleased as punch with the girls you set up for his councillor's project. Said they were working out really well with their new owners. He'd been a bit worried whether women of that age could be made sufficiently obedient to appeal to a Kushtian — they wouldn't want to have to bother with too much training and punishment. But it seems your...
With Brian and his family packed off to orientation, things started to get back to normal in the office. Business was certainly getting back on track. There seemed to be plenty going on. After the worries over Tricia it was a relief to get back to some real work. I had the project for Steve Glennis to deal. I was happy with the way the account management activities were working out generally but I needed to do some more thinking about that. Sebastian had finished the first version of the...
I suppose I was cheating on Tricia but she was still off on some collection way up country and wasn't going to be back all week. I was bored and besides I was very interested in trying to think about the market from a different perspective. Least ways, that's what I told myself. I was sitting in the coffee bar across the road from the office that I'd burglarised the week before. I don't really know what I was planning to do. Just see what happened, if anything, I guess. I watched as...
I'd taken on board what Harry was saying but I really hadn't decided what to do about it. If what Harry had to say hadn't been enough, the earful I got from Freddie the following day made the point even more strongly. He asked to see me in his office. When I got there Elly had evidently just finished a conversation with him. He didn't look happy. Elly just looked at me, dropped a file on Clegg's desk and said "See you later," to him She gave a nod to me but said nothing more and...
Steve Glennis was extremely happy when we finally got Lady Marchmont shipped across to him. As he said, "It's taken a while but it's been worth the wait." He hadn't wasted any time in putting her to use. "Had her out on a trotting rig this afternoon," he said. She looks pretty good. Gonna take a lot of training of course, she's got a few stripes on her buttocks but she'll learn." Rachel was recovering. The Doc finally let me in to see her. She held my hand tightly when I sat down...
Tricia's downfall caused some consternation in the organisation for a while. Nobody likes to see a colleague suddenly taken out like that. On the other hand most people seemed to have had a belly full of having their ears bent by Tricia's constant, "Why won't they let me lead a collection?" so the general view was that she had it coming to her. Harry and Rick were pretty nervous in case Freddie came gunning for them too. After all it had been Harry's call, in the end to give Tricia the...
A small introduction again about me for those who have not yet read my previous story of Part 1. Hi, this is Sagar from Delhi, age 33 ( height 5.8 inches, fair complexion ,well groomed, smart , perfect on verbal communication, average built in body structure, Attractive Features – Voice, Lips & Tongue) , been a very romantic man all time , started my first affair when I was in class fourth from school. It was always a liking for girls, crushes, attraction, infatuation. Gradually as I grew...
As Olga entered her first month being a partner in Gorilla repopulation, Bursa took over the duties of injecting and monitoring the subjects as they entered phase I of transitioning. She was so decrepit and just ugly, even the Professors referred to her as, "that crotchety old bitch." Never in the history of Sunrise Research was there such a person with an ugly disconcerting regard for human beings in general. Yet with all her ugliness about her disposition and self, she had some interesting...

She picks him as the subject of her article on deviant sexual behavior. But he has other ideas. This is their mental battle that leads to her inevitable submission. Charles swept into the club at about 9 in the evening one Friday evening. It was a private club that a friend had recommended. He had never been there before but seemed quite at ease. The club was full but not crowded, with many Doms and Dommes there with their subs, both male and female. He wasn’t anything particularly special to...
There I was in the second year at the local college, researching for my paper on Larry Flyer’s ideas about pornography. Unfortunately, not much has been written about that. I guess if you read Hustler then you pretty much know what his idea was. I had been to the library several times reading up on the subject and noticed the librarian had checked me out pretty good each time. I had not paid her much attention, but there was something there the last time that i had not seen before. Every...

ExhibitionismWe were in Freddie's club, expecting a dozen or so clients to turn up. I wanted to give them a briefing on the new web services to get some feed-back. I had a good session with Clegg before the clients turned up. We'd run through the arrangements for the day and he seemed very happy with the plans. "I like this idea of getting feed-back from the clients," he said. "We could spend a lot of money without having a solid foundation, otherwise." I thought I'd take the opportunity to raise...
Rachel was laying on one of the couches where I had first seen Brian's family being treated under the electro stimulation programme. She was sedated but conscious; she'd not objected when the Doctor slipped the hypodermic needle into a vein in her arm. She'd asked if Sukie could be with her for the start of the programme. We'd agreed and Sukie was sitting beside her stroking her hair. Rachel looked calm. The Doc lowered the gantry above her and took down each pair of wires in turn,...
The whole conversation was a bit difficult, I guess you could say. Elly wanted to sort out what we were going to do about Sarah, Cindy and the Emir's PA and she recognised that Freddie wasn't doing the job that needed to be done looking after sales. I wanted to solve the Rachel and Sukie problems. Harry just sounded as though he was resenting the fact that all this was taking up time he needed to work on Ops matters. Freddie was sitting at one end of the table peering inscrutably over his...
Steve's idea sounded attractive. I could see that I could free up some time in a couple of weeks or so but I wasn't sure whether I could justify the trip. I thought I'd talk to Freddie about it first. If I had thought that Tricia getting her chance as a lead collector would improve her humour I was mistaken. She'd been as pleased as anything when she told me that Harry had said she could finally run lead on a collection. She'd been nagging him (and me) for what seemed like months. But...
Tara pulled up to the gate and punched in the code that Gabe had given her. She’d never been to Mabel’s Lake. It was a gated community known for its wealthier homes, a golf course, and a swimming pool among other amenities. It reminded her of a retirement community, which was humorous since Gabe was in his early thirties, just a couple years younger than her. Sure he was on the young side, but the man was a genius, not to mention a complete workaholic. He never talked about friends, well,...
We were driving across country on a family vacation, the wife's idea and her route. She decided that we would take the long route, thru deserted roads, vistas and one horse small towns (think deliverance), for the scenery... I'm Mark (38) brown hair tanned green eyes 6'2 I work out everyday to keep fit former soldier and now a middle manager of a large manufacturing plant.

IncestThe dis CenterPart 1 Chapter One-Introductions "Your master sent you here, because you were a good slave," Doctor Fulkner said looking up from a medical chart. After squinting in thought he added, "I'm not sure about rewarding slaves. You could physiologically damage other subjects with attitude or actions.""The client paid a premium," said an administration slave to the doctor's left, as the doctor flipped to pages two.He continued talking mostly to himself, "Her then boyfriend asked her to...
Once upon a time, he was an idealist. He wanted science to change the world for the better, and he worked as hard as he could to make that happen. So hard, in fact, that he got noticed by a government agency important enough that it officially doesn’t even exist. Top secret is an euphemist, the President himself is only made aware of this operation on a need-to-know basis, the budget is secret and controlled directly by the Department of Defense. Here, he and many others are allowed to use...
I rang the doorbell and waited. Perhaps half a minute elapsed before the door opened, and the woman stared at me sullenly. She was tall and very slim, almost skinny, apart from heavy breasts; her dark, shoulder-length hair was streaked with grey, and, apart from skimpy gauze panties that were practically transparent, a thin silver chain encircling her right ankle, and high heels, she was completely naked. For a moment, I studied her body, my penis stirring involuntarily: her ribcage was...
Dr Glenn drove the last few miles to the lab in deep thought. How was she going to break the news to Dr Marsh that funding was to be withdrawn? Drexel Pharma was pulling the plug on the female sexual dysfunction range, it had a new active for insomnia; and that was top dog and the priority. Dr Marsh would be shattered, two years of work and now this! Amanda had a deep respect for the academic as a scientist, but she had never really got on with her. Jenna was too tied up in the job; she...
Wednesday started off a bit overcast, but the weather report promised clear skies for this afternoon and extending into the weekend. We'd needed the overnight rain, but I figured we'd gotten lucky that it was largely over by seven in the morning. At that hour, I was once again waiting with my daughters. Melissa again happily ran off in Debra's care, bounding like a fawn toward the clubhouse to spend the day with her new friends. I noted that her tan was beginning to fill in her bare...
About a week later I needed to check the final arrangements for the All Spice collection with Harry. When I called him, Sarah answered. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised but I hadn't realised that she would be out of orientation that quickly. She set up the meeting efficiently. I could see that Harry hadn't only been interested in her for her physical attributes. When I got to Harry's office, I saw Sarah for the first time since she'd been cowering at Harry's feet after being...
Wales was wet. From where I'd stopped the car there should have been a view of Snowdon. Instead all I could see was the Glaslyn valley and a sheet of cloud. Porthmadog was sitting sulking in the last of the winter afternoon's light at the other end of The Cob. I looked along the causeway that the road shared with the narrow gauge railway that once hauled slates down from the Ffestiniog quarries to the coast and now hauled tourists. There wasn't another car in sight. I drove on across the...
I got back from Wales the following day and went to meet with Rachel, my script writer, at the Prep Centre. She was no longer wearing her evening gown; now she just wore a simple short black skirt and matching, low cut, sleeveless top. One strap of her top was hanging off her shoulder. She also had on the stiff leather collar and the identity tag that marked out all of those that were going through preparation. Her face looked gaunt; dark bags under her eyes testified to nights without...
The Kalinin's requirements for Council of Kushtia had been precise. Between him and his son, I was coming to understand that Kushtians were capable of developing fairly specific tastes. Luckily, I'd been able to work out how to satisfy them. I was sitting in the lounge of a comfortable 1930's style house, looking out across a perfectly manicured lawn. The rum punch on the table in front of me was completing a pleasant afternoon. I was about to be joined by Alessa Moran, which was...
With the Kalinin's requirements well in hand, I had some time to spend on the video. I'd sketched out the framework for Rachel and she'd already let me have a storyboard and I'd set up to visit the Prep Centre to run through the script. I'd told them to let her have some decent clothes as long as she was behaving. When I got there I could see that she was making an effort to impress, she'd obviously been well enough behaved to keep the guards happy. Or maybe she'd been using some...
