Representative Laurie H. Wright, (D IL-21) Tuesday, November 2, 2010
I wasn't particularly worried about my chances for reelection. My opponent had launched an ad attacking me for my support of Michelle Black and it ended up backfiring by making him look like an apologist for rape. In the only debate of the campaign I had given him just enough rope to hang himself and the night ended with him declaring that "some girls are just easy to rape." The last poll we took showed me with a seven point lead and a 19 point gender gap. Still, it had been a strange year and we weren't leaving anything to chance.
By the time the polls closed I was spent. I drove back to the campaign office and flopped down on a couch in front of the TV screen, eying the bottle of champagne that had been purchased for the victory celebration as the results came in. We were doing pretty well so far. Joe Sestak was ahead in Pennsylvania and NBC had just called a couple of races in North Carolina for us.
After about 30 minutes my phone rang; it was Pam Davidson.
"Have you seen the exit polling from New York."
"No, I've kind of been focusing on Illinois."
"Well it looks like we're going to hold on to the House."
I knew where she was heading with this.
"So when are we dropping the Program bill?"
"As soon as we get back on the 15th."
"Have you talked to Nancy about it?"
"She didn't seem particularly enthusiastic. But Michelle Black's lawsuit is being decided the 12th, so there will be a lot of attention on this heading into the weekend. We're only going to keep the House because of this issue, and the Speaker knows it. She'll have to schedule a vote."
"What about the other side of the aisle. I talked to Bobby and he wasn't willing to budge, and didn't think any of his colleagues would be either."
"They'll have to after tonight."
That wasn't how I saw the situation, but I didn't say anything. Even though the bill was doomed, I figured it would at least keep attention on the issue after the election.
When she hung up the phone, I noticed that I was starving. I glanced back at the TV and grabbed a slice of pizza. Austin happened to be going back for seconds at the time, so I took the opportunity to talk to him about something other than politics. Once the election was over, I would finally have some time to get back to being a Mom.
They'd found him through an online Christian dating site. Nineteen years old, a virgin in spite of being drop dead gorgeous. They loooved hot virgins. Said he was looking for the right girl to have his first time with. Real clean cut and innocent, though this hadn't stop him from sending a nude pic complete with his lovely erect penis when "Candy" had asked for it.The pic was the deal breaker: he was about to meet the wrong girls.So they'd set up a date. They had sent Sarah, the youngest of...
The honeymoon was simple. I rented a small cabin in a wooded area about 50 miles from home. It was a beautiful area completely surrounded by trees and a small pond with fish about a quarter mile from the cabin. The cabin was simple. Kitchen, bedroom and a bathroom. It was perfect for the two of us. Once we settled in, we went to the bedroom to unpack. We were both exhausted from the day’s events and needed a nap. Once we were both in bed however, napping wasn’t going to happen. As I...

I knew I shouldn't have peeked at her in the library, she couldn't have been older than 16, young enough to be my daughter, but she was cute and I could see up her skirt as she perched on that tall chair across from me. I sat at a regular table and hers being higher, her legs were clearly visible under the table. She kept uncrossing and crossing her legs, and her skirt rose each time, revealing more and more of her young legs and brief glimpses of her white panties. Then she had spread her...
Six months ago, I started working for a large upscale cruise agency in Portland. I joined the marketing team. Seven gorgeous women and three regular guys, including me. Beautiful women, great pay, and to top it off, they gave me a window office that overlooks the Willamette River. What luck, I thought. Then Nel moved in. Right out of grad school and into my life. Over a weekend, she brought in her lamps and curtains. She even rearranged our desks. She sits behind me, now, and I sit by the...
Mike was a single parent whose son was having some trouble in his first-grade class. His son's teacher, Ms. Davis, was known to be very strict and not kid-friendly at all. He was sure the parent-teacher conference that evening was not going to go well as he had heard all the horror stories regarding this teacher over the years. At any rate, his son was struggling and he needed to find a solution. Hopefully, there was something that could be done to rectify this problem. Mike had been single...

Office Sex"OK, everyone. We're gonna get started here. Step right up, and have your tickets ready!" The other members of the room grinned, and started to move towards the opening. Where there had once been a door, the hinges had been drilled and the entry was now only obscured by a velvet curtain. The guy at the door looked like he was allergic to soap, and possibly even water, but I took a deep breath and rummaged in my pocket for my ticket. The stupid thing had cost me a mint to get, but Jack had...
I arrived at the recording studio early. A band I wasmanaging was cutting a new release. Six months ago theseguys were dog shit on the sidewalk. Last week they had theaudacity to walk out of a session just because somebodybought the wrong brand of beer. Funny how a little taste ofsuccess can turn some people into temperamental pricks. Butso long as they keep bringing in the hits, I'll continue todo everything I can to make certain everything is up to theirbloated expectations.It was purely by...
GayWhen Diesel and Ariel got to the rec-room, it was to find it was crowded. The wizards were in residence. Diesel looked at all the people and said, “Bloody hell, who is all this lot?” Ariel giggled and started introducing him to the other relies and friends. Diesel couldn’t believe he was hobnobbing with royalty. He’d have some good stories to take back to his people. Diesel was a little daunted when he was introduced to Allan. Allan shook his hand, then held it. He gave Diesel a strange...
Detective Dianna Shepherd awoke from ... a nap? She was sitting on her couch, but hadn’t she just been sleeping in her bed? She was wearing her robe... She looked down. The front of her robe was spattered with blood! “What the hell?!” Then she tasted the metallic tang in her mouth. She rushed to the bathroom mirror. What stared back at her was a scene from a charnel house. Blood covered the lower half of her face, and her chin was practically caked in gore. She carefully washed her face,...
Part 1 Jackie Anderson sighed as she stood looking in the full length mirror after stepping out of the shower. It had been about a year since the divorce and her kids were away for the summer with their father. Since she didn’t have them to help around the house, she had decided to hire two college students for the summer. They should be arriving any time to stay and help her keep the house and yard in order. She looked at her reflection and smiled. At 35 years old, her breasts were still perky...
MILFI was still close to my in-laws. My wife and I had separated about six months ago and yes I was still angry at her but her family had always been so good to me. Driving home from work, I passed near their house so decided to call in. It wasn't unusual for me to do so, we had remained good friends and I loved them both dearly. The sliding door was open so I knocked and entered as I always have. There was no sign of either of them, but it was strange for the door to be open if nobody was home....
MatureIt was about three weeks later. Claudia and I had had our kiss and makeup session. She knew she was wrong to say those things in such a hurtful manner. I had faced my fears, and finally confessed that the things she had said were actually true. So we went back to being best friends. My camp friend Justin called me. He was tall, good looking, and one of the most fascinating and coolest people I had ever met. He wanted to get together, go to dinner and a movie or something. So I told him to...
You take the elevator down, walking through a near maze of mirror-image hallways before you enter the main floor of the casino. Rounding a strategically placed corner, you walk out onto the expansive floor, and are led directly by a smiling host to the high rollers table. You know it will be a while before your Goddess makes her way downstairs, so you resign yourself to a few hands of uninspired poker. The table is empty as you pull up a seat, with only the ruddy, good natured face of the...
Let's check out some anime chicks at Hentai Gasm! I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole lately with hentai sites. I’m not saying I love cartoon porn or anything. I definitely prefer to see real cunts getting spread by a fat cock. I get it, though. Shit, if I could draw and animate my own sexual fantasies, I’d never leave the fucking house. Even just trying to review HentaiGasm.com has got me living like a recluse for the last week.If you’re into hentai, there’s a decent chance you’re one of...
Hentai Streaming SitesWorking Girl 5 By Susan Brown Sheila winked at me, screamed and fainted! The policeman who was frisking me immediately stopped what he was doing and ran around to the other side of the car. 'What did you do Mick?' 'I didn't do anything, Dave, she just sort of dropped!' While the two policemen tried to revive Sheila, I had time to get my act together. I went over to them, trying not to fall over in my bloody shoes and in my best, concerned girly type voice said, 'What did...
John left the room feeling very good about his morning spent with the children. The bookcase had arrived and they had assembled it as a team. The kids took turns on each of the jobs; one reading the instructions, one bringing the parts, one helping to hold the various parts together, and one to provide the tools when they were needed. John was the only one that used the tools. The kids had a fun time and kept correcting him whenever he was about to make a mistake. He left after it was...
Second Coming #1: Easy as ABC By Valerie Hope They'd been on the move for days - nights had blurred into dawns, dawns into unbearable noons with heat which melted the cracked asphalt of the streets of what was once a thriving, modern metropolis. Out of the corners of their eyes, the tired soldiers could almost see the people, scurrying to and from their jobs, their entertainments and their errands, oblivious to the overhanging destruction which would take all their hopes and...
Jovita got out of her cab at 15th Street and 10th Avenue and paid the driver. After a long day at work, she was going to meet Hanna for a very special evening. The stars above were barely visible thanks to the ambient Manhattan lights, but the beauty of the city buildings more than made up for the light pollution. A scene across the street caught Jovita’s attention. A man dressed in casual clothes leaned against a building on the street corner. As a Hasidic Jew passed buy, the man called out,...

MY HUSBAND Me and my husban were getting ready for bed when he noticed I was hotter than usual as my pussy was dripping and my asshole was throbbing and clenching on its own. I told him how hard my boss was at work today from me wearing that slutty low cut dress that I know he just loves. And how hot I get thinking about teasing my boss while at work. My husband loves for me to tell him all the naughty details of me driving my boss up the wall. Oh my husband loves for me to get attention...
Snow began to fall heavily outside the airplane terminal, but I tried not to look at it. I felt nervous enough about the flight back home, and the idea of flying through a snowstorm was even less appealing. My eyes traveled around the room, surveying the faces of my fellow passengers. I noticed several quick glances at the windows of gate 7, usually followed by grimaces and worried looks. At least I wasn’t the only one. My hands were beginning to shake. I’ve had this fear of flying ever since...

xmoviesforyouThat evening Avril turned my bed down and climbed in, and then Milla arrived “Please sir, perhaps I could help keep you warm tonight?” “Well, I have no objections, Avril how would you feel about sharing my affections? I have to warn you I need some more sleep tonight, I cannot exist on only 2 hours” Avril replied that she was agreeable, but then added the interesting condition that Milla had to be willing to do whatever I asked. It seemed she already understood my perverted mind might find...
From the corner of my eye I saw some movement in my backyard through the window. I went out quietly through the garage and couldn’t see anything until I looked behind the shed. There was a young girl squatting down and taking a piss. When she finished and stood up, pulling up her jeans, I confronted her, “What are you doing here?” She was so startled she stuttered, “I had to pee so bad I couldn’t stand it. I’m on my way home from school and this was the first place I found. I hope I didn’t...
I woke suddenly – jerking upright in my bed. Something was wrong. I didn’t know what, but something was definitely wrong. I sat there with my heart pounding in my chest. Peering through the darkness of my room I saw no movement. Nothing! I listened intently – straining to hear the quietest sound. I could hear the soft whisper of Tara’s breathing from where she lay sleeping on my floor. I could hear the frantic thumping of my heart. Apart from that, nothing. I slipped out of bed and crept...
It took me 4 minutes to cross the road and pull into Number 73. The traffic was nonstop and slow moving most likely due to the rain. I drove the length of the driveway and pulled up under the carport. There'd be no one home for hours and parking there would save me getting soaked. With my basket of cleaning equipment in one hand, I opened the car door and got out. I grabbed my clean apron from the backseat, slammed the door shut and went up the three stairs to the kitchen entrance. The rain...
Sexual heaven as she licked her way up my creamy thighs to my clit, while watching her toy boy sucking my man’s cock. I was too embarrassed to tell her, aged in my forties I had never had my cunt licked by a woman before then. But I loved it, a wonderful new sexual experience for me orgasming on a woman’s tongue. That was a defining moment for me, when I decided to extend my sexual fantasies and make them happen. I am Sylvia a forty-five year old widow after my much older husband died...
Well, I slept happy that night, let me tell the world! It was the sleep of a well fucked man! All good things must end, however, so I woke at six the next morning when my alarm clock went off. I stumbled off to the bathroom, where I found that, yes, Marilyn had given me a hickey. It was low down, where it would be covered by a shirt, but only if it had a collar. No t-shirt today. This reminded me of a time when my parents were staying with us. My Dad hadn’t gotten sick yet, so we must have...
"It's gonna happen???? I can't believe! It's REALLY gonna happen! Dan!" "Nikki, you need to be sure. I'm not the guy that thinks marriage is just a way to get a tax deduction. If you think it's forever..." She wrapped me in her arms and kissed me. "Dan, you're mine! I will never leave you or forsake you. Forever!" "Forever's a long time, babe," I said. "I can see it from forty-one. Can you see it from fifteen?" She looked into my eyes. "I'm walkin' into it with you, no...
Woman Type 2. Chapter Four I woke early the next morning, the big day! I was nervous and was dreading the embarassement of turning up to school for the first time dressed as a girl! I put on the new white lace bra and panties, carefully concealing my manhood. I slipped the latex breast forms into the bra and adjusted it as I had now become very used to doing. I tied my hair up in a top knot and tied a purple ribbon in it to match my skirt suit. Me and my Mum had discussed in every detail how...
The next day, she came down in the shortest skirt I had bought her (the jeans one), the tight top and the jacket again. She wore black tights under the skirt and her high heeled shoes for the first time. After work, she was excited again about her new clothes and the comments she had gotten. I was feeling generous after last night, so we went to the mall and I let her buy whatever she wanted for her room. I was surprised that she bought stuffed animals mostly, plus a few knickknacks. She...
Walking back to work from having lunch at a local diner he passed someone begging on the street. He didn’t take much notice until he heard a female voice “Got a couple of dollars for me”. He looked down and saw a young woman. He guessed she was 20yo although it was hard to tell. Dressed in rags, bare footed and filthy her age was a mystery. However he could see she was attractive. Ever the dirt on her face and the unkempt hair couldn’t hide that. He took a $5 note out of his wallet and dropped...
This is a sequel to Swim Lessons Get Sexy (linked below). I suggest you read the first one before reading this one. Enjoy. “I said. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?” Jason was stuck frozen to his spot. There he stood naked on the edge of the pool deck. To his left knelt an equally naked and very hot Aubrey Jones, the mother of a student in his swim class. The spotlight twinkled on Aubrey’s large breasts where a small bit of Jason’s cum still lay. Across from him stood Jason’s friend and coworker...
Copyright© Wow, has my life changed. Just a few months ago, I would never have thought I would be living with a 19-year-old boy. I have never thought of myself as gay. Except for an occasional female-male-male three-way, in which I enjoyed having my cock sucked, my sex was always straight. I sure didn't think I was gay, maybe a little bit bi, but never gay. However, all that changed when Mike my new roommate moved in. He was nineteen, a virgin and built like a brick shit house. Oh, don't...
The whole house echoed with the resounding crash of the fallen chinaware plate. Janet's nerves were strung tight in her throat. Every movement, every sound was torture to her. Greg had called ten minutes before to tell her that he was at the airport and would be home soon. During the last five days that Greg had been gone, five days of psychological torture to Janet, she had broken twelve dishes, hurt herself falling down the stairs, and had left the checkbook in a shambles. She hadn't...
Chapter 6The CruiseDaniel and Fabio arrived at the cruise ship at four o'clock just in time to get to the suite and get settled away just as their luggage arrived. It was a comfortable room on the port side with a balcony. They were informed that there was always a happy hour in the bars on the ship from 4 to 7 each evening. Supper was served in two seating's the early at 6:00 and then a later one at 8:00 PM. As they were dressed for the happy hour and were assigned the early sitting they...
I was shopping in the upstairs part of a sex shop in town, when I heard a comution downstairs and a slamming of the doors. I thought nothing more of it and continued to look at the cuffs on display. I had put down the pink chastity cage I and ball gag I had discovered and with my hands behind my back I was trying to see if would be able to unlock the cuffs if both wrists were locked."I'm sorry" said a womans voice behind me "We've had to close the shop for a while, I thought we had got everyone...
For me it started with my best bud's mom. And it is funny because I never found her hot or even thought about sex with her. Linda was her name and she was just average. And she was one of these ladies that looked older than she was. I am pretty sure she was older than my mom, maybe around fifty. But when I hit puberty she seemed to take a liking towards me. One day our families were together having a cookout. Linda leaned over and I saw right down her shirt. She looked around quick then pulled...
Monday, Freda asked herself around to have coffee with Maria, knowing the Alison would be at school and David and Maureen at work. Maria is no more embarrassed or ashamed of their lifestyle than her husband or wives are, so when Freda found that Maria didn't get the subtle approach and it can't be said that she is either naïve or ignorant, Freda asked straight out and Maria told her straight back. Maria is so proud of her lifestyle, her husband and her two wives, that she brags about them,...

One summer I was home from college, I found myself in the house alone and spotted the basement key sitting on the kitchen counter, it was always on an over-sized red plastic key fob but that was sitting beside the key, broken and removed from the chain. I stared at the key for what felt like forever then slowly picked it up. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as I approached the door, my hands shaking as I turned the lock, each click of it's action seeming louder and my hands were...

It was quite cold when I got on the train. I was rubbing my hands to keep warm. The station was ….and I had to go upto Ahmadabad. It was slightly warmer on the train as all the windows, except one or two here and there were down. I found it was somewhat dark inside too but the little chatter and warmth there was made it much better than the bleak platform. I was ready to dump my luggage, to curl up with a book and to have a nap. I hoped it was not congested or noisy in my coop. When I reached...

I looked at the clock on the bookshelf. The entire morning has been wasted. I had no idea that it would be so tough. It was true I didn’t have any concrete and definite ideas in my head. Still, there were a few half-developed thoughts and glimpse scenes from my favorite porn videos and erotic stories which I had hoped I would be able to replicate in my writing. After all, I was really looking forward to write a hot, sizzling adult story for a long time now. But I just wasn’t able to create a...

ALL CHARACTERS ARE ADULTS. Abner Spinks murdered Carissa Browne, at Palmetto County, Florida on February 14th, 1899, Valentine’s Day. He was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to die by Judge Rollo Sanders of the circuit court. So said the local newspaper. Spinks ambushed Carissa on her way to a neighbor’s house.

Mike was leaning back in his desk chair enjoying the after-effects of his orgasm. He leaned forward and looked into his telescope to check on Leann. He saw that she was still in her chair with her eyes closed and her legs spread, floating down from her orgasmic high.As he flopped back in his chair, he still couldn't believe it. The girl he had been spying and masturbating to her dancing image was actually a male dressed as a female. What surprised Mike the most, was the fact that he was not...
CrossdressingI had finished what student registration still needed to be done, and got the timetables for my various major, as well as elective classes; plus a roster and information of where to find the ROTC. Over the next several days, I threw myself into school work. Life wasn't so bad after all. Until of course, Rachel phoned on Friday evening. I ended up promising that I would come home next weekend, as long as there was no ROTC obligation, only some homework; at least that was what I hoped. It...
I found a hotel close to the target of my desires, a sex club that catered to different types. I quickly unloaded the car. Once in the hotel room I closed the curtains and stripped down to nothing. I took my time and removed all my unwanted bodily hair. I stepped back from the mirror and gazed at my now smooth body. I love the smoothness and sexiness. The nipples of my B cup tits are pointed and excited. As I caress my tits, my cock begins to stir even more than it was when I...
Exoplanet colonization had begun long before Alany was born, but as mankind’s expansion into the stars continued, it faced the same challenges it did in its infancy. Supply lines were expensive to maintain, and many of the planets, like Aquarrii-B2, were too barren for conventional agriculture, and local plant life was inedible. Myrm-tech’s solution was innovative: it promised to convert local biomass to a usable form, without requiring workers to go and gather plant life. Alany was one of...
