The pretty little wench, Gwendolyn had never paused long enough to inquire after my name, but her mother the more logical Simone put the question to me shortly after rising the next morning.
I am certain that I roused her immediate suspicions when I took a little longer than expected to answer the simple question. In God's truth, I was not going to say my name was Mabel Murphy. At least, not while in possession of a nine inch cock. The only thing I could come up with was the name of the French diplomat. So I became Alfonse in that moment. When she asked my family name, I hesitated to reveal the fellow's credentials, so I merely said,
"Alfonse D'Paris, my dear Simone. My family has lived there for many generations."
Simone caught on fast and did not press me further. Closed mouthed strangers were the norm in 833AD. It was one of the first rules of survival with the myriad blood feuds that abounded in the strangest of places.
Gwendolyn was still abed and I could hear her snores even at the other end of the shack. Her mother looked at her and then up at me and I could tell she had mischief on her mind when she unfurled my pole from its resting place inside my breeches. It was a simple operation without a codpiece.
The wetness of Simone's ripe mouth was soothing and yet most exciting. She was missing a number of teeth on one side of her mouth and the absence created a soft spot on her gums that stroked my shaft with an unforgettable sensitivity driving me to shuddering distraction. I surmised this was the result of an accident or an injury as the remainder of her teeth seemed in fine and healthy condition.
The mature woman bobbed her head with a determined degree of purpose. I was surprised that she was cupping my ass cheeks with her hands and was forcibly spreading my cheeks open for exploratory probing with her long middle digit. This spirited stimulation of my prostate caused me to leak copious pre-cum into the attractive woman's mouth. It mixed frothily with her own saliva and I felt as if I was driving my cock into a pool of creamy female juice. My own juices were fast speeding to release.
Simone looked up at me with knowing eyes. She obviously was an expert at this game.
I put both of my hands on the back of her head taking hold of her lustrous black hair and pushed her to the base of shaft just as I spewed my load into her gagging throat. Her coughing woke her daughter and I heard Gwendolyn call out,
"Is everything all right?"
Simone was giggling behind her hand as she tried to mute her reaction to my bestowal of creamy cum into her gullet. Two lines of white cream dribbled down from the sides of her mouth and dripped with depraved sensuality from the tip of her slightly pointed chin. Unable to resist, I leaned forward and kissed her full on the lips and pushed my greedy tongue inside her skillful mouth. I could feel her heart beating fast and she trembled in my encircling arms like a young maiden on her first date.
It was a very welcoming household, but I had no hopes of finding true love here with either Simone or her lovely daughter Gwendolyn. They were both charming creatures, but I suspected they would denounce me in a trice if cornered into admitting base fornication with a strange male.
The directions Simone gave me were quite good and I departed mid-day for the thriving town of Lyon and the opportunity to view some of the French hierarchy at close range. Simone was kind enough to souvenir me with a clean shirt and breeches belonging to her deceased husband. Gwendolyn pressed a kerchief filled with cheese and bread into my hand and whispered,
"Watch out for those city girls. The say they want your cock but they are really after your money."
I pondered that this fact was true after more than a thousand years. It was a singular constant reinforcing the premise regardless of clime or place.
I laughed because I was without a single coin in my purse. In fact, I had no purse.
Once I had traversed a fairly wide stream, almost a river, it was downhill all the way to the little city. The traffic on the road was becoming more evident and several farm carts carrying produce and live animals were all headed into the central market.
It was difficult for me to comprehend all of the slurred dialects being spoken from the hinterlands but every now and then some school taught French entered my ears with a delicate flavor of civilized breeding. I saw a very dirty looking female perched on her rump on the back of a jouncing cart in front of me. She had sparkling eyes and a nubile air of repressed sensuality about her. Each bump in the road set her well-endowed breasts to jumble and quiver in erotic fashion. She hiked up her bodice and addressed me in a jocular manner.
"Got an eyeful of my pretty little pair, do you?"
I smiled because that is exactly what I was engaged in so doing.
"I compliment you on their fine construction, my dear. I hope your bottom is not too bruised from that hard seat you have taken."
The young girl giggled and turned her shapely rear end to me for my viewing.
"Would you like to inspect it up close and personal, my handsome stranger?"
This was an invitation I was quite prone to take up and approached closer to the damsel. She was quite comely despite the dirty clothes and the handicap of an unwashed face. Her hair was relatively clean and smelled of nutmeg or cinnamon seed.
"My name is Alfonse. Would you care to take a short respite under that shade tree and share my cheese and bread?"
The spirited young female jumped off the cart almost into my arms and followed me to the shade of the sturdy tree keeping watch over the main road into the city center. The grass was dry and the area was devoid of pesky insects normally found along the dusty road.
"They call me Nicolette. I am the daughter of Sir Hugh of Lyon but my dear departed mama was a lady of physical pleasure well renowned for her expertise in satisfying many partners in one night."
At first, I thought the girl was having verbal sport with me, but I discerned she was in deadly earnest when she made a motion with her hand that cast the thought of her forebears away from her like an unwelcome curse.
We gobbled down the delicious cheese and bread so thoughtfully provided by Gwendolyn. Nicolette produced a flask of some very tasty wine from the vineyards of southern France and it made the tasty treat slide down with very little difficulty. I took some water from the stream nearby and used a clean area of my shirt to wipe the streaks from Nicolette's pretty face. Her lips were ruby red and when she momentarily let her tongue emerge, I was taken with its sensual pointy shape and sense of flexibility.
(The continuing adventures of Alphonse D'Paris formerly known as Mabel Mahoney.) I spread my cloak over the exhausted Nicolette and left her to slumber peacefully in the stable. My return to Earthly existence in the form of my coupling partner, a French guy called Alphonse, was further complicated by shifting into a time period over a thousand years prior in a country I had never visited in my true form of Mabel Mahoney. The change from being the "fuckee" into being the "fucker" was...
The night was so hot that if you struck a match you would almost expect the air itself to catch on fire. The ceiling fan did nothing to relieve any of the heat, but seemed to whisper apologetically as it spun above his head. He sat there quietly, hands on his knees, sweat running down his face. He was not sure if it was the heat or if he was sweating looking at the sexiest pair of legs he had ever laid eyes on. What those legs were connected to was still hidden in the shadows. The place was...
Despite the tragic circumstances of my receiving this estate as a reward for my noble lineage, I was much impressed with the surrounding fertile fields now under my control and the obvious successful industry of the folk who owed their fealty to my rule. I had nothing to do with the terrible fate that had befallen the previous masters and was not in the least complicit in their horrible end. Still, the villagers looked at me and my retinue with some noticeable degree of reservation because...
The castle was bustling with activity upon our return. Apparently, we would be expecting a visit from the royal court to see how our new management had been progressing in the shire. I could only offer my benevolent acceptance of the steps taken by the subordinates who seemed in full grasp of the needed work to be accomplished and I just relaxed and hoped for the best. It seemed to me that the workers were not so much concerned about who was in charge but didn't want outside interference...
The young accused witch Hilda was a bit of a nuisance to I, Alphonse D' Paris because she was constantly at my side like a shadow cast by the angle of the sun. Fortunately, my dalliance with Drusilla did not suffer due to the strange effect the girl's presence seemed to have whilst I held the willing juicy wench in close embrace. She was never as emotional as when she knew the young girl's eyes were on my cock sliding into one of her available openings. I had no problem with that at all...
My journey back to AD833 had been for the most part an enjoyable romp with many young nubile females of willing attitudes. It was a fact, however, that I had not been successful in finding a female who was willing to sacrifice herself for me out of true love. It was a fitting outcome because I had spent my adult life in the twentieth century as a wanton slut using men for my personal pleasure and giving them nothing in return except my sexual favors which had no value to me at all. I most...
I was roused from my haunted dreams by the sound of a female voice calling to me in gentle implore to cease my slumber forthwith. My eyes opened to see the same novitiate with the calming hands that had eased my way into much-needed repose with skilled ministrations that caused my spunk to adorn the far wall with a long line of sagging stickiness. I remember thinking it a shame that she was so dedicated to the service of God that she was overly reluctant to offer me her virginity in...
Back in April 1985, I was just a regular fourteen-year-old boy with a slightly above average imagination. While not the tallest in the 8th grade, I wasn’t short, and I was proud of the fact I had to shave my lip once a week. My four best friends and I were on the school’s baseball team. Lex Beckart was the pitcher, John Whitman was the catcher and Joey Conner, Brad Redmond and I were the infield. We’d been playing baseball together for years and had this natural rhythm together that people...
It was the sixth of Lagufæ, the late-mid summer month of the Goddess of the Sea, before Rowan had regained much of his strength once again and realized probably for the first time that his old life here in this village was now over for good. His master's-piece done, his relationship with his old master Gorge was now rather different; not strained, but things were indeed now a bit different between the two men. Sitting here and sharing a pint of beer at the Goblin's Head with him at the same...
For the next two marching days the regiment made good progress, nearly thirteen leagues. The wounded of the 4th Reserve Company still slightly kept the pace slower than Rowan would have preferred but he would not ever offer a single word of complaint to the many still injured. They had fought and held their ground while their friends around them had died, all in the name of Rowan and his infernal sword. They trusted and believed in him and he knew he must never let their faith in him down! If...
"Sheriff Buck, Jim, please come quick! Bert sent me to tell you there's going to be trouble over at the saloon!" Buck followed Jim who was hot on the boy's trail as he headed back in the direction of the saloon. As soon as Jim saw the number of horses with Mexican rigs at the hitching rail he reached out and halted the boy. "How many of them are there, Jasper?" He asked. "About six, sir. They came in asking about Angelina and Bert sent me to find you!" "Buck, find us some...
It took exactly a week to arrive in Tellismere from the crossing at the ford, and the towns of Glideuch and Ghasby came and went with little to remark about them to remain in Rowan's memory. At every stop they gained some fresh coins for their caravan guard fee, but nothing like the large sums they had earned earlier on the other side of the great river. Here nearer the capitol, things seemed safer and talk of war remained that, just talk. All of this land on the western side of the Duchy,...
Although they had been sharing the same bed in the second largest suite of the inner keep for nearly two weeks, Rowan and Gwenda had had almost no private time to themselves. At night they would hold each other, mentally and physically exhausted, naked in bed, but their few pitiful attempts at foreplay had come mostly to naught. Tonight, they agreed, things would be a bit different. A large hot bath in a tub easily big enough for two had been prepared and Gwenda couldn't hardly wait to dive...

Jim and Buck were working on their second cup of coffee when Jim glanced out the open door and noticed Jasper running down the street toward the office. He burst in through the door! "Sheriff Buck, Jim, please come quick! Bert sent me to tell you there's going to be trouble over at the saloon!" Buck followed Jim who was hot on the boy's trail as he headed back in the direction of the saloon. As soon as Jim saw the number of horses with Mexican rigs at the hitching rail he reached out and...
As the Duke's carriage was back in its normal place in the stables of Haldyne, the Ducal Lady ordered it prepared to carry her back to Swanford the next morning. This wasn't unexpected, and frankly didn't slow down her companions too much at all. Her two white horses were fast and strong and knew the road northeast to the village well. Her guard escort had wanted to move swiftly up the road at a much faster pace than wagons, or carriages could go, but the relatively short trip to the...
With barely a full company's worth of troops currently able to stand or bear arms, Rowan ordered the brave soldiers to take their rest and enjoy the fruits of victory. The Count declared a day of celebration in the town, and a great many wine and ale casks were breached. Some of the now veteran warriors found dalliance with the grateful townsfolk, or their family and friends of the refugee camp followers. Military discipline was abandoned for several days as everyone drank and feasted and...
Survivors of the Battle of Kenniford swore that as bad as this battle had been, the dreadful defense of the town of Ruromel had been worse, but Rowan was not at all sure. Only the deadly accurate missile fire of the goblin slingers had kept the sides of the battle-line clear enough to allow the flanking cavalry archers the freedom to sweep the opposing Eorfleode ranks with bow fire deadly enough to keep their center line from being massively overwhelmed, right from the very start of the...
There he was, sitting near the rocks, whittling a piece of wood. Naked. Half the time, he was naked. I guess that was the perks of living in the woods by yourself. He was a real mountain man. A big, rugged fellow with tanned skin and dense dark hair all over, from his chest to his ass. He had a bulky body, but his arms and legs had natural muscle carved purely from physical labor from living out in the wilderness, and his thick uncut cock hung low like a third leg down between his...

As they ran for awhile, Rowan wondered out loud, as much to himself as to Gwenda. "Do we need to leave a more obvious trail of our passage? I've heard that they are keen trackers, but I know nothing of them from any personal experience." The girl laughed and replied, "Their tracking skills are more than adequate to follow us here in this soft river mud, nearly indefinitely, without any assistance from us! Their eyes are not quite as keen as ours, but they can follow our scent nearly as...
Yes, my dream would have been more satisfying if it had gone along the lines of...a voluptuous red-headed noblewoman who lusted after one of her servants.

Incest‘All wet hey you might need a raincoat Shape down Dreams walking in broad daylight Three hundred sixty five degrees Burning down the house’ The college fitness centre was relatively empty at 3:30 in the afternoon.

He hadn’t seen me yet and I watched him with growing interest as he grabbed two 100-pound dumbbells and made his way over to the incline...
I've never quite understood the "going through the motions" people in a gym. I mean if you are going to take the time to go to a gym, then you might as well workout. I was watching someone whose workout was so scripted there wasn't the slightest bit of exertion. Whereas I was working hard on the stepper, my quadriceps were complaining bitterly and Talking Heads ‘Burning Down the House’ wafted through my headset, ‘All wet hey you might need a raincoat Shape down Dreams walking in broad daylight...
EroticA boisterous crowd of eight, sexy, young ladies entered the elevator I was riding down to the lobby in. They were all in their mid-twenties, dressed in skin tight, little black dresses, and black stilettos. They were obviously eager to kick off a night of drinking and dancing. One young lady was dressed noticeably different than the others. Her skin tight, little dress had black and white vertical stripes. I chuckled to myself when I saw the plastic ball and chain around her left ankle. A...

Tales from Gulliver's Planet: Little Girl Blew Part III By [email protected] She opened her eyes and saw the segmented prene ceiling of a ship's cabin. She was in a bed. There was someone beside her. She looked over and saw Marsham, smiling, eyes glittery with greed. She hummed a little tune, rolled toward him, spread her fingers out in his chest hair and grinned a wry little grin, lowering her eyes to half-mast. "Good morning, Baby." "It took you a really long time to...

I could hear the water run, so I got up and made my way across to the window and peeled back the curtain, just enough to be able to see out, and not attract attention to my action.I could feel my heart thump in my chest, I had anticipated this moment since I had arrived here, and now it had.I looked down onto the area where the water ran, bathed in the hot afternoon sun, reflecting from the wet stony floor, and onto the bodies of four young black men, of varying heights and body sculpture.My...
I play trumpet and was interested in joining the Armed Forces. I was in Year 11 at high school and decided to apply for Work Experience in the Army Band. I was accepted and within a month I was sitting amongst some of the most talented musicians that Australia has to offer.

My cousin, Shannon, had organized a party for the...

I made a face at her and kept chewing. "Oh sure," I said when she continued to nod. "And I suppose his skin's cleared up too." "Buck saw him in the shower," Marcie said, looking superior as she usually does. "He said it looked like a python." "Right," I said. "And do you know he's only fourteen? He skipped a...

The Maiden Urðra frowned as she reached into her box of raw threads and discarded handful after handful. 'Too dark!' She muttered, mostly to herself, as she drove her hand into her spinning box yet deeper, to find something newer and brighter ... or at least something different. "Yes indeed." The Matron Veránda muttered in concurrence. "The weaving has been much too dark, as of late, and my next panel could do with a bit of brightness." "Quite so!" The Crone Skúlda rasped with...
If there had been a nicer mid-summer, late afternoon in Swanford, then Rowan couldn't remember it. The sun was warm, and very nicely so, but there was enough of a western breeze, off of the ocean and the lake, to keep even the hot forge from being a sweltering place of misery. Off and on all day, he had been hearing sounds of laughter and play from the river, probably from the region of the Lily Lake, but for awhile yet Rowan had some last remaining duties to perform before he could think...
The young friends finished their meal and parted ways for the evening. Bryce was needed back at the bridge guard tower for duty, until the caravan was unloaded down at the southern warehouse, and Boyle wanted to be back at the stables to look over the horses. He would have a busy night attending to them, especially the injured ones, and he would likely also spend much, if not all, of his day tomorrow helping to repair any damage to the wagons. Half-day of scheduled work or not, Boyle was...
Oddly, the fear of running out of money during the long overland journey soon proved to be a chimerical concern. If anything, their coin purses just seemed to grow fatter and heavier with every stop that they made along the road! Right from the very start, Oddtus had made some sort of deal with a westward going caravan heading towards the big walled city of Apeleia (Applewood) offering to share his 'two personal guards' to help guard their caravan, for just a minor payment. With the fears...
The first significant threat of danger came a few days later, on their fifth day of the voyage, as the crew was putting out the dinner campfire, and nearly everyone was preparing their bedrolls along the shore. Knowing that he was unlikely to get any sleep, yet once again, Rowan volunteered to take the first camp watch, to stay up until the moon was in the center of the night sky. One of the crewmen, Tashyl, was taking his turn to hold a similar watch onboard the boat, in case trouble came...
Rowan and his party were indeed having nearly all of the trouble that they could handle. And their epic journey down-river was one that the gléaman could and did tell countless times in the years afterwards. They were making very fast time going back down the river, paddling hard with their oars along with the current to make even greater speed than The Lady Ellyn had made going upriver with sail. They thought that they could reach the island before dawn, under cover of darkness and perhaps...
Despite their lack of proper rest, they started off again right at the very first crack of light and made a decent amount of relatively swift progress on the dryer grassy ground before the skies fully unloaded upon them. The rain soon got so hard that they could barely see ten yards in the woods ahead of them, so they risked a more dangerous but open path across several meadows to speed their course. Driven slightly south, to avoid a large hill that Gwenda feared had an Eorfleode watchpost...
The sight of the destruction of Elmcrygh brought great misery and many tears to the poor survivors of Silana, who had hoped to find shelter and perhaps a new home behind the walls of the great walled town. In size, the now burning ruins were once nearly large enough to be considered a city, and it formerly sheltering tens of thousands of people and was the major hub of trade for nearly a hundred leagues around. Even at the height of their collective despair, Rowan refused to believe that the...
Gwenda was a tall and strikingly beautiful young woman, even dressed up in the plain leathers of a guards-woman. Even this, Lady Ayleth had to grudgingly admit. She was also quite smart and had grown up in a northern barony that was always on the pointed edge of danger, even in more relatively peaceful days. Her sharp green eyes missed little and her generously wide red lips stayed tightly shut when they needed to be, all the better to hear and listen, and react, to what was happening around...
"You've darned near had your darned fool skull split wide open! So remain still and rest your eyes. You'll probably be seeing stars for awhile yet and you'll be dizzy for a few days." Ashburn gently advised her, when she had awoken in pain and darkness later. The healer's voice was trying to sound stern, but Gwenda could hear the smile in his voice even though her eyes were still shut lying in bed. Her head still hurt with a near constant throbbing, even now apparently several days...
If Boyle had been amused by the Lady Ayleth's modesty back at the hot tub in Dragontooth, her reaction to the casual partial nudity that was common in Corælyn, was even more entertaining. Even in the late autumn, the humid and warm winds from both sea coasts kept the temperature quite pleasant and the attire rather stimulatingly casual. For women, the presentation of mostly bare breasts, and their virtually always pierced nipples, was quite the art form. The Foole, quite sincerely, tried to...
Boyle, tried to project confidence that he didn't quite feel as he reviewed with Rowan and Oddtus for the last time what his arranged role was in the madness that was about to occur. Somehow, despite his growing nervousness, he kept his head held high and somehow a smile on his hard-edge but still round face. In the trials of the last seasons, the formerly stocky lad had replaced most, if not quite all of his flab with honest hard muscle. His eyes, like Rowan's and Gwenda's, were black...
Not quite a full hourglass from time Rowan and his companions set foot from off the ship onto Broadmore, on the docks of the walled City of Penryn, right at the mouth of the Penryn River in the Southern Gulf, they found themselves outside the great walled gates of the city facing three great armies, of which only one was their own. There, out of a great field outside of the walls of Broadmore's second greatest city, was the invading army of Drakland which stood ready for battle, holding it...
The ocean trip to the city of Tellismere was somewhat delayed by contrary winds, which at this winter season came near head on, from the northwest. The fleet was running close-hauled, tacking back and forth beating their way upwind. In better weather, the trip could have been made in less than a week, but instead they felt lucky that the trip had only taken two full weeks. From off-shore, the situation with tracking the progress of the Eorfleode horde remained simple. With their slow...
