Emily carried the flowers into the small room and put them down on the table. The wizened face of her grandmother looked at her and squinted. "Paula?"
"Emily," the young girl replied and glanced behind her to see the look on her sister's face. "Paula's by the door."
The elderly woman struggled to focus into the shadows and Paula moved across the lounge in the residential home. Her parents were showing some prospective buyers around the old house of her grandparents, who had both deteriorated rapidly in the previous two months. "Hi Nan," Paula muttered and sat down in an adjacent chair before accepting the offer of a cup of tea.
Her grandmother took a few moments to focus on Paula and Emily, sitting next to her, but Paula steered the conversation towards subjects her grandmother could understand and then played a game of chess with her while Emily looked on.
Emily spotted her grandfather in the garden outside and walked outside, before they were joined for lunch by their parents. The residential care home happily provided lunch for all six of the family members in the expansive garden, but it was clear that the two elder members of the family were struggling to comprehend everything that was going on.
Before long, the Dotsons drove back and dropped Emily off at their house, before travelling to the restaurant to continue with the preparations for their "Grand Opening."
Emily had barely entered the house when the phone rang, and she picked up the ringing handset and inwardly groaned when she heard the voice of her sister's ex-boyfriend. "Yeah, hiya Andy. She's not in."
"Again," he moaned and she rubbed her nose.
"Yeah. She's out on a date," Emily blurted out and pursed her lips together. "Umm sort of."
She expected to hear his voice break, but he just grunted. "Sure, OK. Tell her I called. Just got some news and wanted a chat. Can you ask her to call me when she is free?"
"Sure," Emily promised and wiped her face; she knew her sister talking to Andy would only make her more withdrawn and isolated. She was missing Andy and hearing his voice would confuse her.
Signing off, she put the phone down and ambled into the kitchen, rummaging around the biscuit tin before selecting three. She muttered to herself and put one of the Hobnobs back; her sister would probably tease her about taking too many biscuits and although Paula was out, she would discover the missing biscuits had been taken by her. She always did!
"Fraternising with the enemy?" Paula teased as Neil wandered over to them.
"You what?"
"Well, we will be doing meals as well. Rivals." Neil snorted.
"Yeah, well, we have loyal drinkers. You won't be touching proper ale on tap, will you?"
Paula shrugged. "Maybe not."
"So, you aren't a threat. If anything, might entice a few more people down this end of town." He waited for Paula to shrug, and he wiped his hands on his trousers. "I'm off 'ome now. What time d'ya finish? Wan' a walk?"
Paula looked into the empty restaurant and called out to her parents busily hanging plants or polishing glasses. Her mother looked out of the window, and Paula asked if she could go leave. "Sure love. You remember where we live?"
We had just arrived home from a three week vacation. It was mid-August, and the temperature was, at 11:00, over 100. We were expecting, after 24 hours on an airplane, and a 3 hour drive from the airport, to lay down in cool comfort, in our own bed, and sleep for a while. Instead, we came into a house that was hotter than blazes. We checked everything that we knew how, and still couldn't find the problem. It was now nearly noon, and was getting hotter by the second. I, finally, at my wit's end,...
Saturday.It was late when the breakfast tray finally arrived. We had ordered for nine thirty, but it was nearly ten by the time it arrived. Chantel opened the door in her usual way. Naked. Marco was on duty and pushed the trolley in.“Morning Marco,” she said.“Morning Ma…Mistress,” he replied as he turned to go.“Marco? What did I teach you yesterday about room service.”“Mistress, Chef is not happy I took so long yesterday. He told me to be straight back as I have other rooms to service.”Chantel...

If you haven’t read the first part, please do try to catch up. Here is the summary: My 40-year-old boss, Sasha, picked me up to go audit a client. On the drive, my boss put her hand on my thigh, and I finally got my chance to feel her body up and rub her pussy while in her car, on the side of a road. She let me drive after our quick stop to the client’s town while sucking my cock the whole way there. We’re about 20 minutes from the client’s office, so we’re now pretending to be on our best...
Chapter 3 - Conspiracy Two Months Earlier "You're early," Dr. Juno remarked upon seeing the white-coat clad researcher enter the lab. "I like that. If only the men in this world would be as respectful," she exclaimed, returning to her microscope. Dr. Kristina Therapon walked through the large lab to where Dr. Juno was working for their scheduled 'stand up' meeting. Kristina was an accomplished biochemist and had come to Octa Genomics at the behest of Philip Krause, the...
Waking up after another round of bad dreams, Craig Bellingham sat up, realizing that he was safe in his one-room apartment in New York City. His moods were sometimes determined by his dreams and took him awhile to eliminate the disturbing images during sleep so he needed to find a place where he could enjoy people. The effect of the dream lingered on as he walked around trying to find suitable clothing for a trip to a bar he had never been to but was told was to his liking. Craig’s fashion...
Gay MaleHe could just take her now. Grab her around the waist and take her to her bed and then pin her down and fuck her over and over again. May as well get one last bit of pleasure before his world crashed down completely. But he knew he couldn't do that. No matter how low he had sank he loved his little girl. "I just have to come out and face the music or lie my ass off and hope she believes it" he thought. Slowly Mark made his way from the back of the closet... Sara watched as her father...

TabooBob and my security were waiting when I stepped out into the garage; they were as anxious to get started as I was. There were three days left after today and then we could take a break from the everyday traffic hustle across the bridge. The first thing I noticed was how tanned Bobbie was. She and Dan must have spent most of the time in the sun and water. I did know they were with a group that had gone to the casinos on the big island Friday evening but other than that, they had stayed to...
Ohai sat quietly going over the events of the last eight days while the others slept. She found a family, she had a sister, she had taken part in the rescue of one of her new family, she had been given the chance to learn about and experience emotions. One thing she couldn't classify cleanly was her developing relationship with Marz. They would always be connected as long as they were alive. Marz and she had learned how to turn down and even turn off the constant flow of information between...
I drove to Mossberg to talk to Bart. He was the closest thing I had to a best friend. I found my Mossberg key ring right where I left it. Once inside my condo, I found everything there dusty and damp but undisturbed by human hands. I walked down to the cafe before settling in for some deep thinking. Boxer: My god look what the cats dragged in, a stray dog. Me: Nice of you to make me feel welcome after all these months. I recognized most of the lunch crowd. At least I had a nodding...
As they neared the pack Paul was the first to notice it. Immediately he stopped feeling them in the very air. He sensed a dozen separate individuals and he did not need to be told they were lycanthropes. Wounded Leg was a normal wolf but the others were so much more. There was both a human and wolf presence in each of them. Right now the human presence was but a whisper but it was there and he could feel it. Like an overlay the wolf covered over the human one, until someone could barely see...
I got dressed and left Sandy’s room and told Carol, what Sandy had asked for. She kissed me and I left them alone for a while, and went back to our room and fell asleep. Carol came back into our room about an hour later, with her pussy looking really abused by Sandy. I asked if she wanted to be fucked or not and she said ‘sure’ so I got on top of her and filled her with my dick and started a real fast fuck cumming only about five minutes after starting. I pulled out and she quickly put her...
I had been secretly cross dressing in women's clothes for a number of years. My wife had known about my cross dressing and I had dressed in front her. We had had several sexual encounters with me dressed, which we both really enjoyed. However these encounters had become less and less over the last couple of years until they were now extinct. As most of you cross dressers know this is a habit that is very difficult to break from, especially when you have doing since child hood like I...
Hi, friends in Indian Sex Stories, again I’m back with a new sex story. It’s a 377-page sex story I will try to complete it as short as possible in fewer parts. For any comments, you can reach out to me at Here goes the sex story from the author himself. People who have come for the parent teachers meeting were surrounding all the teachers and asking too many questions. I was searching for Sindhu. I asked someone for class 4C and reached there. Her teacher greeted me and he asked me why her...
It was the fall of my sophomore year in college and I had just moved into a new apartment and I had put up an ad for a room mate to help cover the expenses. A number of girls had called but the one I settled on was a girl named Alicia who was just a freshman but her parents were well to do and she didn't want to live in the dorms. Most of the other girls I either knew by name or reputation and I really didn't want my pad to become party central. Alicia was a small town girl, who was still...
".......okay, let me see if I've got it all down," Linda said as she finished filling entering the order data into her computer terminal, "that's two hundred of the XT40's, sixty of the ZX35's and forty of the ZX25's, is that right!?!" "Good," she replied, "that shipment will go out tomorrow at the latest, so you should have it by Friday afternoon, thanks for your order, good by!!!" She was just finishing up sending the order down to shipping when her boss stopped by her desk and asked, "How's...
EroticOne of my first stories written, this is a true story.... one of many fine memories...My encounter with Mona...I first met Mona in August, a few years ago... when I was riding a beat as a police officer.

She was playing a video game against the window, opposite end...
Straight SexMichael has always wanted a sex slave, don’t ask why or for how long just accept it people, because that’s not what’s important. What’s important is the How and the Who? How will he obtain a sex slave? The next question is who will it be? Well to answer the first question Michael has been given a unique opportunity in the form of his Mother and Step-Father leaving the recent University Graduate for a month long cruise. One of those spur of the moment trips that they never expected something to...

A brief background for you before we start. After my break up 3 months ago with my girlfriend after 6 years of being in a relationship. Work is going as it is but I...

Humpet is what she called me, however it isn’t my name. It’s more a term to describe me as a ... species, I guess. I’ve always been kind of lazy but I’ve only in the last year, come to realize it. I say, ‘kind of lazy’ because I often go to a lot of trouble and effort to take the easy way out and do the least actual work. It’s just who I am. I’ve been told a lot that it would be easier to just do things, than to put so much effort into avoiding doing things. We met a year ago. EI was at the...
Chapter 32 Once everyone was coming down to their senses a little bit Lisa's hand went down to Marcy's chastity cage. She was curious to feel just how much her sissy boyfriend had filled up that sissy condom. Marcy had certainly came, probably more and harder than even they had so she imagined there was a nice big load sitting in that condom for the sissy to swallow. Much to her surprise her hand encountered something wet and sticky rather than the swollen latex of a filled condom....
Porn Savant Forum! Most traditional porn sites I’ve seen usually don’t have any chill whatsoever when it comes to their content and hit you with an amalgamation of overly-stimulating visual content at point blank range as soon as you enter them. But, PornSavant.com isn’t your typical, traditional porn site – there aren’t even any ads on here. For most porn consumers, this site might not present them with the instant dopamine-inducing content they need, so there’s a good chance that you won’t be...
Porn ForumsSo I already explained that Maria and were young and inexperienced but before my mom caught us there was plenty of licking and sucking. Once while alone at the grandparents’ house I found gramps stash of porn. He had collection of Hustler mags. I said to myself, “Damm Tata likes Hustler.” So I quickly went into the bathroom, dropped my pants, sat on the commode, pulled the linen hamper in front of me so I did not have to hold the mags and began to stroke. Anyhow as I got into it I heard...
Jean watched Daniele as she put the phone down. It was clear that the call had been bad news. They slumped into the chairs in the darkened lounge and looked at the television vacantly. “If they’re not at the second place, what do we do?” asked Jean morbidly. Daniele jerked up, as though stung by a bee. The idea of total failure obviously had not crossed her mind. She glanced around the room as though seeking a soothing sight while she thought. “I don’t know. They just have to be there....
Out of the evening gloom, a young girl of 16 appeared smiling warmly. It was Kate wearing well...almost nothing. A short mini skirt and a tight fitting top with bare midriff. She was already over 175cm and her long, lithe legs; toned upper body, pert breasts, cascading blonde hair and her exceptionally pretty face made for an intoxicating combination. In a word, she was hot. Kate leaned softly against Daddy and brushed his cheek with her lips. “Thanks for coming Daddy. I’ve had such a good...
We met a 9 year fan of Trina's and he requested no vids of certain sexual activity. We honor any fan request whether we agree or not. We had many requests to tell the story of meeting if we can't show video. Here is what happened: We got the idea to have fans send requests with picture to meet while we were out of town. We made it clear that we were not just looking for sex. Finding people to fuck is easy, we wanted to meet loyal fans and whatever happens, happens. The response was...

Mike paused after he had stepped to the kitchen sink to try and find a clean glass. Outside on the back patio was his twin sister, Michelle. It was obvious that she was planning to lay out and work on her tan; she had a blanket spread out and was wearing her bikini. Although she was his sister he still allowed himself to enjoy looking at her. His friends had said more then once that she had a nice body and he had to agree with his friends. She s*s have a nice figure, ample breasts, not too big...
This is a story written at the request of a very good friend of mine. “I wanna B gang fukd” “U wanna what?” “U heard me, I want 2B fukd by lots of coks” This latest round of texts was not at all what I had expected from one of mine and my wife’s good friends. Tina was a girl who we had become to know through one of our kids baseball leagues. As the convener, she was the go-to person for any and all complaints and concerns that any of the parents had. After one of the games, my wife and I needed...

In the car we came up with a story that i was an old...
I was feeling very restless, it was a few weeks after our mutual jilling session. I was hornier than ever i couldn't get the image of my mom masturbating furiously next to me, while i wildly humped my pillow right next to her, out of my mind. Not that i wanted to forget that image, but i was a sex addict, normally five times a day girl, my pussy was hotter than a Forrest fire, and i was bringing my burning center of ten times a day every time i simply fucking love to masturbate, even when i had...
“Are there any boys at school that you like?” “A few,” she blushed. “You may like a boy enough that you’re willing to let him touch you more than normal to keep him interested in you. But never resort to that.” “Say a boy you like has invited you over to his place after school. You feel a little nervous and he says you can relax, his Mom will be home soon, but you don’t know that he lied.” “Your heart is beating a little faster already just sitting next to him. You like him and he’s...
Somewhere in Generic city, there is a jewelry store, and inside that store there are five feminine forms each carrying bags or purses and wearing black suits, masks and caps. This was to be the third store they had robbed after entering this city, unfortunately for them, it would also be their last, because you are just across the street, about to make your entrance, but first....
BDSMJOSIE Okay, since I know this is going to sound a little crazy to you at first - understandably - let me just say that my name is Josie, and I'm the feminine persona of Joseph Sanders, or, Joe, as he's known to the few friends he had. Now, let me try to explain what I mean by "feminine persona" as best I can. As best as I can put it, Joe and I are absolutely separate personalities. The only difference between our personalities and the kind of stuff you see in mental wards and...
The atmosphere seemed to perfectly mirror Cindi’s demeanor. Large powerful engines, raw and untapped crude oil… manifolds askew… cylinders fabricated to thrust, their sole purpose inside an engine. All working together for the greater cause. Two beings lost amidst machinery and abrasive equipment, broken and in need of repair… Cindi was my mechanic… to repair my inoperable heart that demanded her skillful ability to survive. My neck dangled back, feeling her hunger surge as she devoured my...
When I was a teenager, I went through a very tragic moment in my life. My cousin, who was like an older brother to me, passed away and left me in a very dark place in my mind. Seeing as how he was pretty much the only member of my family who I talked to or that paid any attention to me, his loss left a gaping hole in me that I never thought would be filled. That was until a few weeks after the funeral a family friend, Henry, stopped by my house. Being as he was much older then me and I...

I don't expect a man or a woman to act like this IRL.? Just something I thought to get down on paper since this type of fantasy is such a common one for me (though not usually so much S&M).

Presto-Chango by Brian Chapter One The audience watched silently, every eye transfixed to the stage. They were sitting in the lounge of a rather low-grade hotel/casino in Dead Springs, Nevada. Dead Springs had tried for years, unsuccessfully, to promote itself as the next Las Vegas. Unfortunately its name, its frightening proximity to several old nuclear test sites, and its general lack of redeeming qualities had left it little more than a sparsely visited tourist trap. ...
From Red Dog, it goes to prove he has a dirty mind. Monica Lewinski is walking down the beach when she spots a lamp half buried in the sand, she goes to pick it up and a genie pops out, the genie sees her and says, “I know who u are, and since you freed me you get one wish. Well, she thinks aloud for a couple minutes, says, “ I never wanted to be famous, especially for that, I don’t need money, but I always had a problem with my weight, so I think I will wish my ‘love handles’ gone”. The...
A very happy Richard drove home. He fed the dogs, made himself a cup of tea and picked up the paper. That was habit. He left it unopened as his mind ranged over the last two days: full days and blissfully happy days. He relived the scene in the jewellers, Deborah's hesitant choice of ring and his immediate agreement. Her happiness. Her dealing with the pompous maître d'hôtel. Her happiness. Their teasing and tickling on the way home. Her happiness. The enthusiasm of his sons and their...
You find yourself near the middle of suburbia. In the quaint little gated community of Pleasant Lane. You can see through the gate various people walking around, gardening, even having BBQs. The men all appear to be handsome and wearing nicer clothes. Some appear to be wearing suits as if they just came out of an important business meeting. But it's the women that draw your eyes. Perfect hourglass figures, all of them as beautiful as anything you have ever seen. One of them you swear looks like...
Mind ControlIt was a stupid argument, and Jenna had stormed out, just wanting some fresh air and a clear head. Her anger was still with her as she walked into Soapstone Park, she walked down the trail as the sun began to set, oblivious to her surroundings. The small lights beside the trail came on as she ventured further into the park; her anger starting to subside and she wondered why she even put up with his shit at all. She was attractive, had a good career and didn't need him, nor any man for that...

The following week was routine with two exceptions. He had to cook his own supper which was not a problem. Bea had left him a week's supply of ready meals and vegetables. The one that hit him was the emptiness of the house. Bea's greeting when he arrived home might have been perfunctory, their conversation might have been limited and their love life next to non-existent but she had been there. He missed her but, as he realised on Monday evening, merely because she was part of the furniture....
My phone started ringing and it was Alex. It was 1am on Saturday morning. I saw Steve sleeping entangling whole body with mine. I received the call. Alex was asking if he could come to my apartment now. I said I was with my date. In the mean time, Steve woke up asked with whom I was talking to. I told him about Alex. Steve smiled and told, “Ask him to come; I don’t have any problems “so I gave directions to my place to Alex. He said he would be there in 20 min. After the phone call, me and...
Gay MaleChapter 15 Liz woke up rested and refreshed, but the memory of her first kiss with Todd lingered. She occasionally had that dream. How sweet he had been while she was so upset and in the end, he’d kissed her sweetly. The sort of kiss that made girls want to melt into a guys arms and cock a leg up. Yeah…that kind of kiss. It hadn’t even been porn star sloppy, just sweet, soft and just a hint of tongue. Thinking about it made her shiver and her nipples harden. ‘Wow….okay, cold shower for you...
Introduction: He wouldnt take it out of me, even though my pussy was so sensitive, he changed the setting on the vibrator to slow pulsing and kept wriggling it deep inside me. I was panting so hard my whole body moving and reacting, it was all too much… So I went to visit my ex last night. We spent most of the evening drinking Amaretto on the rocks and so I passed out cold around 11pm, fully dressed on one side of his double bed. He didnt wake me or try to undress me at all. I woke up early...
This is a true story about an aspect of my life. I don't mean to offend anyone's sensibilities but we (all people who've been involved in this event) now feel good about what happened, and how it seems to be turning out. First a little background. My name is Lena, I am a 38 year old American woman of German descent (my great grandparents immigrated from Germany before WWI). I was stationed in Germany while in the U.S. military, and after I was discharged I relocated there permanently at age...
The first time that I ever had a black cock was when I was 18 and on a trip to Africa with my new husband Rakesh. We were on the 2nd week of our Honeymoon when one night in the hotel INN, Rakesh, my husband who is an anthropologist and is 33 years old, was talking to a group of old black men about their tribes and customs etcetera. It was very warm, no, very HOT. So I was wearing a bikini top and mini-skirt, no panties or stockings as I was longing for a cool breeze to waft up between my legs...

Free Porn Tube SitesNorman St John-Ferris led the way from the long gallery against the flow of the visitors down the stairs and towards the back of the house. The two men passed through the billiard room; the table an immaculate green, the polished brass markers on the scoreboards glinting in the soft light from the lamps over the table. More teasels provided a disincentive for those seeking comfort on the padded leather arm chairs that once seated the more louche of the St John Ferrises, those that had lost...
Foreword Hello readers, this is Rupali. I know what you're thinking: if Rupali is writing the foreword for one of Belinda's "Headmaster" stories then her secret mystery man is no longer a mystery. It's true; I know his identity. I feel a bit late to the party because her readers knew so long ago but ... well I'm one of you now; no more secrets. The story that follows is – Belinda tells me – the second of three on my discovery of her secret. I read the first one: 'Twisting on the... '...
‘Shit, Carry!’ I shouted. I must admit, when things get good, I have this habit of cussing. Like when Carry sucked on my dick harder than ever before. Carry’s always been great at giving head, but holy shit! Something else had gotten into her. Something wild. Carry was my girlfriend of two years. We met our sophomore year in college and immediately hit it off. Things had been great, in fact I’d been thinking that after we graduate, I’d ask her to marry me. Carry’s sweet, smart, and sexy....
The first two checks of the detective after Rose and the others left came and went with little change. I thought that she was breathing easier, but it was just an impression; I had no way to be sure. I went in a little early for the 3 PM check, wanting to get it done so I could call promptly at three. Up until then the detective had been lying on her back, bathed in covers. When I looked in on her this time, she was on her side, one arm outside the blankets. I shook her shoulder gently. I...
