The foursome was a one-time event, but Jasper and Anna Belle would occasionally accept an invitation to Ms. Sellers' house for a threesome, ostensibly to consult with her on the project. The sex was loving and sweet, and watching his girlfriend and his teacher going at it while he was plugged in to one or the other was about the hottest thing he could imagine.
Elmer, feeling fairly confident his employers would strongly disapprove of that level of intimacy with their son, backed away from any further sexual adventures with the two young ones. He'd done what he set out to do by providing his son with an education that would serve him well. Whatever growing up issues he was yet to face, at least Jasper wouldn't be stumbling through his life saddled with a heap of imagined or imposed hangups about what sex was supposed to be about. He wished he could have been as open with P.J., but he knew he couldn't trust the boy to fully appreciate the need for discretion.
As for Jasper, while the sex was so much more than he could ever have hoped for, it didn't define his relationship with Anna Belle, Ms. Sellers or his father. Jasper and Anna Belle each knew in their heart that the other would be a friend for life; that they had developed a bond few could appreciate. Elmer and Carolyn saw it and encouraged it, and so did Alma and Peter Van Buskirk. And while Jasper's sharing an amazing sexual adventure with Elmer was bizarre to say the least, somehow it brought them even closer. And as for his relationship with Ms. Sellers, well, what could he say? She was an awesome woman on every level!
The State Science fair went off pretty much as they had predicted. Anna Belle and Jasper easily took first prize and advanced to the nationals to be held in May, just a week before they graduated. They had just over a month to prepare.
Around the high school, Anna Belle and Jasper were suddenly celebrities. Students who would have otherwise ignored the odd couple or even cracked childish jokes about them, now walked around with a vicarious pride and affectionately thought of them as their own special brainiacs, claiming them as close friends.
Elmer and Carolyn accompanied Jasper and Anna Belle to the National Science Fair held in Arlington, Virginia. The principal was more than happy to call in a substitute teacher for the three school days Ms. Sellers would miss.
When they arrived at their hotel, in order to maintain at least the appearance of propriety, they took adjoining rooms; Elmer and Jasper in one, Carolyn and Anna Belle in the other. Of course, come bedtime the guys switched rooms through the adjoining door.
The day before the fair was officially underway, it took them nearly the entire morning to set up their display. They had several aquariums displaying corals living at various water temperatures and at various levels of acidity. Several species of tropical fish were tossed in for esthetic effect. The pre-recorded video displayed on Jasper's large iMac was looped to play a twenty-minute narrative every half hour. Charts and graphs displayed on the wall behind the aquariums highlighted the steps taken to arrive at their conclusions. Of course, Jasper and Anna Belle would man the booth to answer any questions.
Among the people visiting their display were scientists from independent research facilities who were nosing around the fair for potential talent, educators from many top universities, and of course, the judges. All were very impressed with the depth of the research that went into the project, but even more impressed with the remedies for restoring and regenerating coral reefs that were postulated by a fourteen year-old boy and his eighteen year-old partner.
At the end of the second day, even before the prizes were announced, Anna Belle and Jasper were made an offer they hardly expected. A representative from Cal Tech asked Anna Belle if she would consider accepting an offer of a full scholarship. Ms. Sellers, standing behind her, leaned over the girl's shoulder and whispered, "You should probably accept it. If you get a better offer from another school, you still have options."
Anna Belle smiled at the woman and said, "Well, I'll certainly consider it, Ma'am, but only if the same offer is made to my partner here." She nodded at Jasper.
Finally, with this last ingredient, I should be finished, Samantha thought to herself as she slowly, carefully began to pour the liquid from a test tube into a beaker sitting on the lab’s counter. The liquid from the tube splashed into the beaker, and at first, the reaction was just what she expected. Unfortunately, the new mixture began to bubble and rise, eventually pouring over the top of the beaker."No, no, no, no, no!" Samantha panicked as the liquid slid down the sides of the beaker and...
MasturbationFor some reason i just loved science lessons at school, it had something mysterious! This lesson was as always mysterious because in the corner of the classroom stood a weird machine with several touchscreens on them and in the machine they installed a chair to sit on. As always with that kind of weird stuff it atracted me.This time i wondered what the machine could do.The teacher came in the class room and every one sat down at their desks. as always the teacher had to ask me seperatly to sit...
“Do you think he knows what wedding nights are for?” Rory asked. “Oh, I’m sure,” Amy said, waving her hand. “He’s spent enough time on Earth, right? He knew about the rest of the wedding.” “Well,” Rory said, biting his lip, as if trying to think of a way to say this tactfully, “he thought he knew about dancing…” “He danced! That was dancing!” Amy laughed. “And this…this ridiculous heart-shaped bed is where I make you Mr. Pond.” “That’s…not how it works,” Rory said, nonetheless...

Spanking[If you're trying to read these stories in their intended chronological order, this one occurs after Dots and Dashes of Color 9.] Every year for the past twenty or so, I've volunteered one day to the local City-Wide High School Science Fair. As a technologist, I enjoy seeing the innovations the students come up with. As an eternal lecher, I enjoy checking out the young ladies, dressed up to make a good impression with the judges. The event was held in the corner of a huge museum. All of...
This story was written to the specifications of Maggie Finson as the first place prize for my story contest. Eccentric Science By Morpheus The hospital halls were busier than was normal for that time of the day, with hurrying medical personnel and visiting relatives, all scurrying to their destinations. The near constant flow through the halls was the lifeblood of the hospital, a sign of its life. However, one figure remained in the hall, pausing from the rush to look up...
So anyway, 14 years old, normal in all proportions, I had glasses, brown messy hair and blue eyes...perfectly average in every way. Now, the story!!! * * * My school's science teacher had just left and we were due for a new one, it was a windy Monday morning, and first lesson it was Science, my favourite lesson. Remember how I told you I was perfectly average? In science I was a genius, top of the class...
Her slender fingers hovered above the Enter key, wanting to do it and not at the same time. Despite the air-con, a bead of sweat made itself known beneath her plain blouse. The feelings never changed, no matter how many times she'd run the experiment. Racing pulse. Fluttering heart. The line between excitement and fear undefined. There was always the chance the parameters were wrong. Again. Another few hundred thousand wasted. Another thinly disguised threat from her boss about the department...

Alden Hemingway sat at his desk, running his hands through his mildly curly brown hair. Work wasn’t all too good on him, being a scientist and all. He enjoyed it, yes, but it was still tiring. He heard the telltale sounds of the door opening and looked up to see… Science. He smiled and started to get up. ‘I knew you’d be here, I was getting bored, you know.’ He wrapped his arms around Science and patted Science’s back. Science smiled that beautiful smile he loved so much and reached up to...
I walked into the strip bar. I had been in the place many times before. It had been a while, so I felt like I was back in familiar territory. The girls were hot. Then, I got the shock of my life. I was not prepared to see my son’s high school science teacher, Diane Hacker, completely butt-ass naked and spread-eagle on a side stage. I walked past her, winked and mouthed the words, “Come see me.”Diane turned four shades of red but didn’t break her dance routine. I took a seat in a dark corner of...

Most of the stories I write are sweet, romantic and a representation of real life. Complete with dialogue and feelings. This story is not one of those. This could probably be considered a real life account of a humbling experience. The wonderful woman in my life, Maddi, has come to enjoy sex in her middle years. Since our divorces we have been making up for lost time. She has gotten adventurous and insatiable. So much so, that we have slowly amassed a staggering amount of toys and sexual...
HumorBonnie Anderson, the very lovely, but stern principal of Middlesex High, had just prepared her young science teacher, Dave Smith, for his very first spanking in her office. If she did a nice job, he might be back for more! Smith really needed this spanking for a variety of reasons. The official one was his students’ poor grades on the state exams. It was hoped her mahogany hairbrush would induce him to try other teaching methods. If not, there was always her secretary Julie’s hairbrush, or...

He had been treated like some instrument of intellect and knowledge ever since he had discovered the cure for Alzheimer's approximately one year ago when he was 15. It wasn't really that hard. It came to him while he was trying to ignore everything that his math teacher was saying. Last year, he was a freshman attending a regular, public high school. His family was not wealthy, and his parents had to work hard to keep food on the table and have running water and electricity. At the time, it...
As high schools go, it was small with only about 140 students. Brandon was 18 and superbly gay. More accurately, he was a precocious flaming queen and it didn't bother him one bit. He stood a whopping 5' 4” tall and was as skinny as a rail. He had delicate, feminine features, sandy blond hair, blue eyes and a lilting voice. Everyone liked his upbeat, outgoing spirit that was full of humor. He didn't have a lover because the school was so small, but gave an occasional blow job or very...
Around the end of the year, he assigned a poster project over the reproductive system. I was not all that good in science so I needed a little help, but was afraid to ask him. On the Friday before the last week of school, he invited me in his classroom after the bell rang, which was around 3:30 and he said to come back around 5 o’clock and so I went home and got all of my science project materials to work on with him. When I went down there everyone had left and the janitors had locked up....

Yay! My first commission is done! I really wanted to get into a writing mood, but did not have the motivation until life kicked in and i got needy for money. Hopefully this will be a start of a long list of stories to come, if people like my work. :)This was a commission from LizardGuy who wanted a story featuring his lovely panda engineer Penny.

Hey, thank you for your responses. I will continue from my previous experience in the estate. After thanking me that guy went his way and I got out of the estate and got home. I didn’t meet him until next week. My next sexual experience happened during a fest in another school. I was in the science lab with our team, which was our changing room. They were supposed to be lined up behind the stage and they went there. I was left alone in the science lab. I was getting a bit horny. I closed the...
Magic is an Art, Not a Science By Bashful Albert stood next to the car as the final suitcases were loaded. Gary walked out and put a pillow in the back seat along with a headset radio.

The Brigadier wasn't pleased with my question, posed during our final briefing. "Never mind the goddamned metaphysics, Lieutenant. We're talking physics here!" His tone became somewhat milder: "Just ... trust the science," he said. "You signed up for this with your eyes wide open." Well, he was right about that. I'd wanted to be a part of the Outer Planets Project since boyhood. I had followed with rapt attention the reports of all the manned flights to Mars and to the moons of...
Fucking for science, that is a new one. I moved behind the first of the girls and gently placed my hands on her tits. Her nipples were already rock hard. Over the heavily padded thing there, she bent forward and reached between my leg to put my dick in her mini volcano. A backward push slid two inches inside her. She started rocking her hips to get more of me in her. When she started doing all the work, to fuck her pussy with my dick, I got a good hold on her hips, and then we got into the...
The day after Michelle returned home we had the fourth heat of the Quartet Bowl series; again, Lisa helmed us to another good first place, we all enjoyed that race. I think it was a combination of the scenery and the two long spinnaker runs, plenty of adrenaline in running down and passing the boats which would have started before us. There was the added challenge of preventing the other boats that started with us – the other three Young 88s – and any that might have started after us from...

My eyes fluttered opened and I sat up quickly. For a moment, I assumed I was awakening in the library and had fallen asleep studying again. It made sense at first; the last thing I remembered was reading and taking notes from my macroeconomics book, and my eyes growing heavy.

His penis squeezed past my labia offering a spine-tingling snippet of the fucking to come. Wriggling, I spread my thighs so when he thrust again, he drove deep. I panted, gasping for breath as he pounded me, his rhythm as fast as my racing heart.“Wonderful,” said a voice in my earphones, interrupting Barry White’s gravely crooning. “Looks great.”I quivered, each word translated into electric pulses which surged toward my pussy, the negative terminal, and merged with the delicious burn of fat...
ExhibitionismThat Friday after school, Anna Belle drove Jasper home and parked in the Van Buskirk's driveway. Just as Jasper was about to stick the key into the front door of his parent's large and very impressive Tudor-style home, Elmer, dressed in faded jeans and a yellow polo shirt, open it with a flourish and affected a sweeping bow, inviting their guest into the foyer. "Good afternoon, Miss. I'm Elmer, the houseboy. You must be Anna Belle Gardner, the young lady our Jasper has been mooning over...
By mid-October, Anna Belle and Jasper were growing live corals and several species of tropical fish in a large aquarium in the basement of the Van Buskirk house where they'd set up their lab. By November, they were experimenting with small pieces of that coral in separate tanks with varying levels of salinity and acidity, trying to recreate ocean changes already happening with global warming and the drastically increased absorption of carbon dioxide. With Elmer's help and often under his...
As Jasper predicted, neither Alma nor Elmer ever gave Anna Belle the slightest indication that anything unusual had happened. But that didn't prevent her from blushing the next few times she was in their presence. Elmer knew the reason for her discomfort, but Alma probably didn't, and she kept asking Anna Belle if something was wrong, if she was feeling well. The quick-witted girl brushed off her concerns by saying she sometimes had flashes n flushes during her periods. The embarrassment...
The next day at school, Jasper asked Anna Belle if he could get a ride home and she agreed. It was the first chance they'd had to talk since their little spat. As she pulled out of the student parking lot, she asked if he'd like to stop at the little cafe near the school for a soda. As they settled next to each other in a booth, he said, "I'm really sorry about the way I've been acting lately. I had a long talk with Elmer yesterday and he straightened me out about a few things." She...
