The plane construction proceeded apace. From the tail feathers we constructed the wings, the cowling, and invented brakes. Having seen the problems with the most popular radial we went with the 137-hp Scarlett 7u. The company, Verner, has been flying one for two years and 300 hours. Mom insisted on the engine. We finished the aircraft and then I found out it’s not aerobatic. The engine runs well and has that ‘real’ airplane sound.
Maybe I can sell it and finance a Pitts.
I learned a lot ... spent like a sailor on liberty and had fun. Alan didn’t last with Surprise ... I didn’t expect him to. She got pregnant in the Black Sea because she got drunk ... lesson learned.
I’m 9 now... 14 in New Zealand ... if I was still there. The fourteen year old lives inside me ... talk about confusing. Now I know why I won’t get the watch for three more years.
The Hispanics bought the business. They’re citizens now. Surprise still builds her boat interiors but she has her own shop in the old theater. She spends a lot of time away ... comes home on weekends ... otherwise I rattle around in this big house by my self. Sofia still helps out but I’m not messy so most of the time we drink soda and gossip. My Mexican is very good.
When the ice goes off the boat goes in the water and into storage every October. I have a volunteer crew. We sail when we can. There is a fleet of Farr 3.7’s spread up and down the Lake Michigan coast. I win some ... lose others
David has salvaged the tanks. The bodies are buried in their own cemetery in the scrub forest behind the town ... east side. The Princessapality took responsibility for the expense. I got a medal ... and a letter in my file. The file is buried in the records. I’m just a little girl.
I shall be ten next fall ... and a high school freshman ... I wonder how that will work out. I practice my katas everyday ... I’m ready for them.
I’m tall ... awaiting the next development.
Life ... don’t ya know.
"These are the Gods and Goddesses of the world. There is Ishla, the Goddess of Nature. She is very powerful. Next is Arkvon, the God of Death. He is probably as powerful or almost as powerful as the Goddess of Nature. He is the opposite of the Goddess. "Next is Shabasonti. She is the Goddess of Chaos. She too is very powerful, but is a most capricious being. Sometimes it seems she works against herself. Then is Natorza. He is the God of Order. He brings order and stability to the world....

Fine! I'll do the fucking laundry.I managed not to stomp up the stairs, gathered my dirty clothes and took them downstairs. About to ask Mom how to operate the washing machine, I changed my mind. She was still tapping the air with her foot and seemed all business except that the heel had fallen off her foot and was flapping from her toes with each bounce of her leg. It was strangely sexy but from Mom's composure it evidently wasn't intentional. I walked quietly past her and made my way to the...
It was about 15 years ago and I thought to myself, Hmmmm I do love transexual porn, I mean I really love it! So I embarked on my search for a transexual that would rock my little world.Adult Work, ALT and other sites skimmed though to find just the perfect Tgirl for my initiation, as I searched and watched videos, photo galleries along with reviews from fellow punters, I came across Joanna Jet, a fully fledged porn star whom, with long blonde hair, gorgeous body and a cock that simply stood...
Regina and Sam were great next-door neighbors and over the years we developed a great neighborly relationship. It was platonic in nature and none of us ever crossed over the line of mutual respect. One day, when Brenda, my lovely wife of four years, was gone to Walmart, Regina popped by and asked if she could get a cup of sugar.Instinctively, I invited her in and asked where Sam was.“Oh, he went out with some work buddies for a game of golf,” Regina replied as she followed me to our...
CheatingMy Daddy loves to kiss my feet. Other places, too, but what I love about the way he frenches my toes is that it shows how much trouble he’ll take to make me feel good — how much he worships me. I’ve been with boys my own age, and all they care about is their dicks. They think a girl’s sole purpose in life is to blow them or jerk them off. But my Daddy knows just how to touch and caress me, and where, and for how long, and the way he moves inside me — whether he’s being whisper-gentle or...
Candice Dare is one tight and curvy teen in a black nylon stocking suit that is ragingly slutty. This sexy teen even has black pumps and sexy black panties to tie it all together. She makes sure you get a lot of nice looks at that perfectly round, bouncy, still somehow firm ass. Her skin is a perfect tone as she flops around on the floor with her ass in the air. She gets on her knees for some fantastic cock sucking as her head and arms are grabbed in the action. She is then fucked in cowboy and...
xmoviesforyouOtis walked and Ariel’s house and just stared. It was all he could do. There was so many beautiful things in the house that he could almost believe he was in a museum. He heard her talking, and followed the sound of her voice to what he thought was a kitchen, but may have been a small restaurant instead. About the time where he could get close enough to hear what she was saying, she turned around and ran straight into him, spilling a pitcher of sweet tea all over him. * * * * * * * * * * ...
I’ve just moved into my new apartment, frantically trying to find where I’ve put my favourite sweater when my phone vibrates. I peer down at my phone and see his name in the message bubble on the screen. My heart skips a small beat. I’ve been hoping for him to contact me for what feels like forever. I miss him more than he could understand, even though I was the one that ended our intense affair. He’s mad at me for it, I know he is. “Hey you…“ It reads. “Hey you…” I reply. “You...
The next day I called Eve and arranged to see her. ‘Eve, I need to talk to you about something serious.’ ‘Okay, Jeff. As I told you before, you can always talk to me.’ ‘It’s about Mom.’ Eve’s eyes widened a bit but she didn’t say anything. She studied my face for a moment. Then she said, ‘Let’s have a cup of coffee or something while we talk.’ ‘Coffee’s fine,’ I said. She poured us each a cup and we moved to her living room and sat on her couch. As I related the events of the...
This is my story on how I fell in love with my neighboring bhabhi. She came to our colony newly married may be when I was 7-8 years old. She was staying with her husband, in-laws and her useless brother in-law. We were a joint family then. Although she was around 15-18 years elder to me, I used to call her bhabhi as all my cousins used to call her. She was a graduate and very intelligent, but a housewife. My family requested her to take tuitions for me, and I was her first student. She was very...
March 4, 1845 I woke up the same way I had gone to sleep, with one arm around Millie and the other arm around Tess. When I opened my eyes, there was Sally, standing, looking down at us. "Good morning, Sally," I said. "Mornin, Jase. You guys must have gotten cold in the night." "We all thought we were gonna freeze to death. After we put our blankets together and snuggled up, we were fine." "Well, it's time you give 'em a shake and wake 'em up. They need to help with...
That night, Christine lay in bed struggling to get to sleep. She couldn't get Alan out of her mind. She kept tossing and turning, ruminating. Mostly, she was thinking about what she'd learned from Donna's phone call earlier in the day. Damn that Alan and his irresistible ways! It's true that he hasn't "rocked my world," but I got a taste when we kissed Thursday night. It felt so good and so right, I could have done that for hours! But no! I'm in control of my body, and I say: NO!...
I gaze at the tree, smiling. It really is beautiful with all the baubles and lights glowing and blinking. Turning, I look in the mirror and see the glow on my skin from the lights. I smooth my hands down my waist, cinched in by the lush corset you gifted me at Christmas. My breasts pushed up and almost bare, the nipples barely covered. I look over the table once more, ensuring that everything is in place, just how you like it. Gently touching each implement as a small twinkle enters my eye. The...
BDSM"Shit, shit, SHIT." Sally glared at her right foot. The heel of her shoe was broken off, still caught in the chink of the cobblestone walkway she was standing on. She carefully set the bag holding her laptop down and reached down to pull the heel free. "Two hundred dollars," Sally sighed as she juggled the broken heel for a moment. Then she reached down and removed first the broken shoe and then its counterpart. She unzipped the side pocket of the tote bag, blessing the sales girl that...
It was five of us. Expat English teachers from a high school on the outskirts of Wuhan. Our school being in a remote location, we were getting stir-crazy and needed a shot of bright lights, big city nightlife. We met up around 8 in the evening outside our school’s front gate and piled into a beat-up gray Renault van; a “chicken van” as it’s often dubbed in China Expat nomenclature. The chicken van made regular runs from our school to the Wuhan city center and was rickety and squeaked,...
I was only 3 years old when my father decided to take his own life. I never really got to know him or what he was like. Growing up I had always thought that my daddy just never was. I didn’t find out the real truth until I was a week away from turning fourteen. My mother told me later, that she was ashamed to tell me and wanted me not to have to wonder ‘why’ growing up. I understand her reasoning though. I really do. The day that she told me the truth about my father was certainly a day that...

Mary between he and I, her head on his chest, arm across his waist. me, my arm was across Mary, hand on her tit, shrunken cock laid at Mary's ass cheeks, dried cock and pussy juices on it. Phyllis, the only one that hadn't had fun with us last night was spooned against mt back, right hand on my shoulder, sleeping peacefully. Feeling a need to pee, I slowly...
Group SexJames Ross was sitting at his desk drinking his first cup of morning coffee. He was staring out his window instead of going through his inbox for the first time like he would normally have done. Normally by this time of morning he would have finished his perusal of the overnight deliveries and made some phone calls to subordinates but his heart just was not in it any longer. He knew he was letting his boss down and he knew he should; he had to get his shit together but he just could not seem to...
My life is a story of two parts; in the daytime I am a respectable, mid-thirties professional guy with a normal circle of friends, a decent job and a normal suburban lifestyle. By night, I turn to the dark; I’m a kinky, dominant, perverted soul. It was during one of those nights recently that my mind started to wonder to its perverted depths. I was sat alone, feeling particularly lonely as my best friend was away on holiday. They say the devil finds work for idle hands, well that night the...
Maybe It's Magic by RH Music Chapter 6: Thanksgiving "Now promise that you'll take good care of your new perm." "I promise. How long will it last?" "Six months to a year." "Six months to a YEAR??" I gasp. "That's why they call it a permanent, honey. It doesn't go away. It has to grow out." "So, the only way to get rid of it..." "Would be to cut it off. That's right." "Oh." The thought of cutting off such beautiful hair makes me physically sick. "Exactly....
My wife and I had had always discussed the idea of her taking another cock and in particular a big thick black one and while she loves the idea, and I hope it happens one day, we're just not quite there yet. In fact, I'd always been curious as to whether she'd even manage one given that Im 6" and Ive always seemed to fill her up widthwise and sometimes even bottom out on her cervix when I fuck her.Anyway, as a near second to her being fucked by a real black cock, I decided that I'd get a black...
Sunday mornings in the apartment I share with Ebony are always lazy and relaxed. I was up and around first making some coffee when Ebony’s bedroom door opened and she emerged, yawning and rubbing her eyes. “Hi Candy, what time is it?” she asked. “Almost eleven fifteen,” I replied ”Jesus,” “how did I manage to sleep so long?” The sight of Ebony’s silky body sent a little tingle through me. Her curvy figure was more or less identical to mine with plump firm breasts and a clean-shaven pussy but in...
As promised, James joined me, first when I awakened with Lois, and then at breakfast. Harold, you and your staff please us no end. Lois, her recruiting being successful, joined me for the night, and to be my Companion in the morning. She would guide Frankie, Curt, and Edie, and, as we thought about it, Marcyne. Arlene and Vox awakened after their first night together. They looked into one another’s eyes, and giggling, moved closer until their noses touched. With the same whim, they rubbed...
-- FEBRUARY 2005, JUNIOR YEAR -- The Honda Fireblade slowed down and made a right turn into the driveway of a nice suburban house. Kim stopped in the driveway and fished into her backpack for a remote, pressing it to open the garage door. There was plenty of street parking, so I paralleled the Mustang and then got out. Taking a deep breath, I walked up the driveway, peeking inside the garage to see two cars already inside, and Kim parking her motorcycle right in the middle alongside another...
In The Photo Shoot sexy Sofi Ryan just moved to Los Angeles where, between her job at the law firm, nights out at the club, and all of the different men she’s been dating, her life has become very hectic. There was only one place where Sofi felt completely relaxed and that was with her friend, Ramon Nomar, a photographer whom she had recently met at a studio opening. Ramon would have Sofi over for private photoshoots, letting her relax and be herself as she posed seductively for him. It was...

If you'd like to see the original version ask and I'll send it to you. If enough people ask I'll post it.By some miracle I managed to graduate high school. My mother went all out with graduation announcements and somehow got my family to come to the commencement ceremony to watch me graduate.After I graduated I packed my things and told my mother that I was moving out...

VII The people from Leningrad were due to come for them in the morning, but their bags were already packed. The boys were on their backs now, in their crib, sated breast milk full on their lips, but Anna felt cool and restless even so, resigned to a fate of her own choosing but her heart full of regret that seemed to have taken her right to the edge of a vast, beckoning cliff. Her future was, she knew, in the abyss that lay before them all, her past was an unusable wreckage of skeletons...

“Scream all you want, Barbara.” Bob whispered into her ear, as he attempted to mount her from behind, both on hands and knees in the doggie style position. Bob had applied a tiny drop of KY on the outside of her rectum. Just enough lube to work the head of his shaft just inside the anal ring. Not really enough to allay her fear of the pain that was coming. But he found the anal orgasm with the most pain gave the deepest, longest, strongest, and most satisfying climax. Therefore...
In the future there are no problems. There's enough food to go around, so no one goes hungry ever again. Machines carry out the hard labor, protecting human bodies from back breaking work for little pay. Peace is extolled across the planet as people no longer have any reason to fight, their problems solved, everyone comes to appreciate each other. It is utopia. In truth, the rich get richer, the powerful consolidate their power and the problems of the past don't get solved, they just stop being...
Velvet Rain is brand new to the adult business, which is the way I like them There’s something sexy about a girl being a little bashful or timid right before they get fucked. I’ll admit, she doesn’t know how to pose or shake her ass, but she makes up for it with a nice all natural body, and a great attitude. She also has nice big tits and a fat juicy shaved pussy. She has surprising dick sucking skills for a newb. She also took that big dick like a pro. She got her pussy pounded till it was...

Ch. 4 – The Broken The quilt lay underneath Zoe undisturbed. It had been four hours since her step mother came into her room and said the words that cut through Zoe like a knife. It had been four hours since Zoe had first contemplated taking her own life as a solution for her tragic problems. It had been four hours for her to lie there, staring at the wall, holding Roger ever so tight and go back and forth on the decision to do it. It was now two o’clock in the morning. The red numbers on...
I got home and went to my room. Mom and dad weren't home yet so I had time to pamper myself some. I stripped down and after grabbing my robe I headed to the bathroom. I needed a good hot bath and a long soak in it. I got my bubbles and went into the bathroom. After what I had been through today, being fucked and sucking so many cocks today is not a great thing to do if you want to smell good and being on your knees and fucked into oblivion over and over will make anyone sore. I was sore all...
A box lay on the counter when she padded into the kitchen barefoot. It was Friday, her day off, and she slept in. She barely felt his kiss on her cheek as he headed for work. He must've seen the kids off to school before he left. Their lunches were gone from the counter. A smile crept across her face as she remembered last month. What did he have in mind this month? She opened the box. Whatever it was, it was red and soft. She opened the note first. A plastic card fell out in her hand. It...
My wife Ashlyn Peaks is so caring and kind. When my boy James Angel gets kicked out of his place by his girlfriend, Ashlyn is eager to comfort him. A little too eager if you ask me. I call her out when he is not around and it doesn’t take her long to admit she’d like to suck my friend’s cock. I tell her to cool off a bit so we can assess the situation out. A few days later, Ashlyn can’t wait to ‘comfort’ James any longer, so she strips down and shows off her...
xmoviesforyouI waited with the Knapdale men in the same Kilfinan Bay where we had landed, waited for the return of my longships. They had embarked the Kintyre men and were taking them back to Campbeltown. There were high spirits in the camp, despite the light rain that was falling steadily. Colmgil and the Cowall and Bute men were also still with us and they were celebrating the defeat of the Saxons and the defence of their lordship with some vigour. I had sent for Gabrain, thinking it was important for...
Well, today was another good day. There was Janice, my sister’s best friend who had moved in with us until she finished high school sitting with me on our bed watching TV. This six foot tall blond Scandinavian beauty had wanted to fuck me since she was a teenager and I had finally consummated what we both wanted for years. When I got home from college on winter break we have been fucking every chance we could get. But eventually what was bound to happen, happened. My Mom caught us in bed while...
John Daniels awoke screaming his body bathed in sweat, his sheets entangled in his legs as he fought his way from the dark depths of his dream. Sitting upright in the dark he heard footsteps on the landing before his bedroom door opened and the light came on. His parents stood in the doorway looking tossled and scared after being awoken by a scream in the night. His Mom quickly crossed to the bed and sat down beside him, enveloping him in her arms. “Are you OK John, Honey it’s alright, just a...
IncestAFTER THE RAIN II: THE VERDICT: A short story by Tamsyn Eighteen months have passed since Jack Welch was freed from years of slavery and abuse; his body changed beyond all recognition.

Cheating WifesIntroduction: An introduction to what should be a series of my true experiences with men, especially after my husband became incarcerated and I became a nasty slut. What is a married woman to do when her husband goes to prison for a long time? Well, I know that Ive been doing what Ive needed to since my hubby was sent away a year and a half ago (and he has another 10 to go). After all, before that happened, we fucked constantly. It was part of the agreement of our relationship to begin with, he...
Faith, as has been said, is a funny thing. Many people say that my religion is sexist, that it oppresses women, and all that shit. Well, they’re right, and they’re also wrong. The religion of Islam doesn’t oppress women. Insecure Muslim men use the religion of Islam to oppress misinformed women who lacks the brains and guts to speak up for themselves. My name is Ayanna Muhammad, and I’m a young Black woman of Somali descent living in the City of Calgary, province of Alberta. I recently married...
The rest of the year was fantastic. For one thing, mother was employed by a fellow worker of Mr. Logan's at a very good wage and there was no longer a need to cut off the heat to my room. There was no mention of me moving to mother's bed. She was pleased with her job and no longer experienced the mood swings she had before. In fact, she was so stable that I no longer worried about her. She avoided going for drinks after work by insisting I take the car each day and thus she could say as...
My ball crushing experience My ball crushing experienceby Aliquis I had been contemplating testing a ball crusher ? on myself. Honestly, I have wanted to experience both the method, and the effect of this dreaded torture device. Eventually, I had a chance to do this. By coincidence, I found the name of a childhood friend in a CBT mailing list. Since we had last met, Mark had become a doctor ? a general practitioner. After a few faint-hearted mails we arranged a personal meeting.After a...
Ruby Hamilton was a wild child. The only child of parents who were both far too busy with their own lives to care about hers, she had basically been on her own for several years. She came and went on her own with very little supervision. So long as she checked in once in awhile to let her parents she was still alive, that's all that was required. While this kind of life might be a young girl's dream, having no one really to answer to, it didn't lend itself to proper behavior. And idle hands, as...
SpankingI know I said it before but I was a basket case for almost two years after Cathy's death. Cathy's death had been one of the pivotal points in my life that had a profound effect on me. I not only lost my wife, but I also lost our unborn child. I wanted the alcoholic asshole driver that drove his car while under the influence and killed Cathy and her parents to suffer the worst punishment possible. It was during that two-year period that Sam, Mary, and I became a threesome. The exact timing...
It started the moment he got home from work. It was Friday but he still hadn't gotten home until after 7. She was slicing peppers for stir-fry when she heard the front door open. She turned to greet him with a smile when she was suddenly pinned against the counter, the edge of it biting her hip. He devoured her mouth in a bruising kiss that was all tongue and teeth. His hand fisted in her hair, angling her head back. His other hand reached under her dress, gripping her ass and pulling...
BDSMPlease accept my sincere regrets for writing another story after such a long time. I lost access to my email account, and for some weird reasons, I recently got my account back.

Now, after the resort scene, we meet a couple of times at different locations in Mumbai. We enjoyed a lot of sex which I have now lost count of. One night we were chatting about our...

IncestI finally learned that the aliens that had captured me are called the Drakk. They are an ancient race that have grown bored and decided to occupy their time by trying to expand their empire. In their arrogance, self-assuredness, over-confidence or whatever you want to call it; they each believed that they could win any conflict, that their technology was so advanced that they couldn’t lose. After thousands of years they finally realized that their enemies were just as advanced, that they were...
