I was at odds with myself. Marge and I have been through a number of rough patches in our life. The one thing that always held us together was our honesty to each other and discussing our problems. We didn't always agree on everything but we were able to work it out.
I wasn't sure if we could do it this time. If she went to the party and got fucked by Dave or some other man I know our lifetime commitment of being together would be over. I had to wonder if she had already been with Dave or anyone else.
I went and picked up a pizza and found a cheap motel for the two nights. I told her I worked Saturday but I didn't. I just didn't want to be there while she got ready for her party. Arguing with her about it would solve nothing. Even if I talked her out of going, doesn't mean she wouldn't go another time.
I went to the bar and drank a couple of beers. I was hit on by a woman and actually thought of taking her to my room and fucking the shit out of her but then I was still married and wouldn't be any better than what Marge was doing.
I stopped and bought a pizza and a twelve pack of beer and headed to my room. As soon as I went in and turned on the TV there was a hard knock on my door. I answered it and it was Marge.
She pushed her way into my room and started in on me.
"What the hell are you doing!" She was yelling at me. "I came home from the club yesterday and you were in the guest room. Ok, I figured you were mad that I didn't come home with you and we'd talk it over in the morning.
"Then you leave for work without waking me up. I went to call you after getting up late and you left your phone on the table. All day I was mad that you avoided me. I get home from work and find this letter about you leaving me. I spent an hour calling motels to find out where you were. What the hell is going on?"
I sat there and listened to what she said. I thought she would be a little saddened but she was mad as hell at me. "Come over and sit down, have a beer and a piece of pizza and we'll talk."
She did sit down and took a beer. "What's going on Rob? Is there someone else? Who is it?"
I was getting seriously pissed. "Yeah! There's someone else. Your fucking friends. I was happy to see that after Becky got married that you found some friends to hang with. Even when you went out with them you came home and we made love and it was great.
"As of late I can tell you have been hiding things from me. Your friends are swingers and I'm pretty sure you know it. The club you want to go to and have been to a number of times is a swingers' club. You're a smart woman and I know you knew it.
"Now you're trying to involve me in it so you can fuck around without considering it cheating. For all I know you been going there for a while. There is no way I'm going to be a cuckold husband or at least stay one."
"Rob, you have it wrong on so many levels." She was mellowing down a little but still mad. "Let's begin with Dave and Trish not being married. I found it out last week but I didn't think it was a big deal. Lots of people live together now a days. I hadn't mentioned it to you because we haven't talked for over a week," she replied.
"What about the club? Why did you want to go there so bad.? Last week you told me while you were drunk on something that you let men rub your tits and ass. Of course then there's the fact that you let Dave rub his cock against you. Yes, I saw it. I also saw that you let him rub your ass and you didn't even attempt to stop him. Care to elaborate on that?
"I have to wonder how long this cheating has been going on," I stared at Marge and took a big swallow out of my beer.
"Let me start with the club. I have only been there twice. I've never lied to you. I didn't know it was a swingers' bar until yesterday. I did know that it was a bar for people more our age and thought we could go there once in a while. It does have a pretty happy atmosphere.
"The first time I went I got drunk. I think Trish or Cindy put some kind of drug in my drink. I remember dancing with a few guys but not much more. On the way home Trish and Cindy told me I was into it and let men grope me. Even being drunk I can't picture me letting that happen without me stopping them.
"I honestly don't remember but I called Barb the next day. She spent the night dancing with your friend Larry. Trish and Cindy disappeared for almost an hour. I asked Barb what I did and she told me that men did touch me but I kept telling them to stop and that I kept pushing their hands away.
"She said that I kept telling them that I was happily married and eventually went back to our table."
"What about yesterday with Dave?" I said, still rather pissed off.
This time Marge was a bit more subdued. "I was wrong in letting it happen but I wanted revenge against what you did. I shouldn't have had done it."
"Me! What the hell did I do? You let Dave rub your ass and didn't even stop him and you want to blame me? What the hell is the matter with you? I should have went down and broke his fucking neck!"
"The first time I danced with him, it might have been before you got there, he kept putting his hand on my ass and I told him to stop. He told me he was getting even because you put your hands in Trish's bathing suit when we were in their hot tub.
"I stopped dancing with him and told Trish I wanted to talk with her. She told me it was true but all in fun. She said when I went to the bathroom and Dave was making us drinks that you put your hands down her swimsuit on her pussy and fingered her for a couple of minutes till you heard us coming out.
"Is it true? Did you do that? That's why I let Dave grab my ass to get even but it made me feel like I cheated on you. Dave asked me to go to the back room with him and I told him 'no way!' I would never cheat on you Rob. As God as my witness I've never been with another man. So, can you say the same thing? Did you feel her pussy or not?"
"The truth is yes, I did but it wasn't the way she told you. After you and Dave went inside she stood up and pulled her bottoms down. She had a shaved pussy. She grabbed my hand and rubbed it against her for a few seconds. She laughed and told me if I played my cards right I could probably have some of it.
"When I pulled my hand back she told me that you were probably getting your ass rubbed by Dave in the kitchen. When you came out you were adjusting your bathing suit."
"For Christ sake Rob! Dave never got near me! I just came out of the bathroom and was adjusting my suit to get back in the hot tub. Rob, I love you and only you," replied Marge.
"That's why I told you I didn't trust Trish or Dave. I didn't know Cindy till Larry showed me pictures of her fucking both Dave and Bill. I don't want to be with other women like that. All I want is you. I'm getting older and I know the things you like and dislike. I'm set in my ways but will do whatever it takes to make you happy as long as it's just you and me.
"If you love me the way you say you do then I don't want you going to that club and I don't want you being close friends with either Trish or Cindy. So I guess I'm giving you a ultimatum. A life with me or with your swinging friends and a club full of lonely people."
"I choose you!" said Marge and kissed me. We removed the pizza off the bed and Marge lay on my bed.
I told her that I had the room paid for the two nights and we might as well enjoy it. She told me she didn't bring any clothes and I told her she didn't need any. We both stripped and she lay on the bed.
I started by massaging her feet. She loved to have her feet rubbed. Next I moved up to her legs and rubbed both of them. When I got to her thighs she smiled and spread her legs. She bent her knees as I moved in on her pussy.
"Rob, I love you and only you. I don't need anyone but you."
I buried my face against her pussy. To say she was wet would be an understatement. I sucked and kissed her pussy to her moans and groans.
"Rob, let me do you too." I rolled over on my back and she got on top of me and we were going at it in the sixty-nine position. God I loved sucking on her pussy. The nice thing was I knew the things that turned her on.
They walked along the beach, two of them -- one white-blonde while the other's hair was the colour of a raven's wing. Using the old pervs' trick, which was simply pretending not to look, I tracked them as they approached. The ruse probably had nobody fooled, but I couldn't help ogling.The pair drew level with my position and then passed by, the East Vietnam Sea swelling benignly just beyond them. I ignored the blue water and Cham Island in the distance because the view was much better close-in,...
It had months since I had seen April, no messages no calls no nothing. We had fun and I thought she had moved on.It was late November, a cool day but with sunshine and I was out trying to get my Christmas shopping done. I had travelled a few miles out of town to a newish shopping center about half hours’ drive away overlooking some lakes.I had spent a few hours browsing and picked up a few things and decided it was time for a bite to eat and a drink. I was already in M&S so decided to try...
“You can’t be serious! This is less than a month from April’s Fools Day. It must be a joke!” I told my sister, who indeed seemed to have a hard time keeping a straight face. “Nope, I’m in earnest. It’s a serious idea! I want this! I’m your sex slave, bro! I need this, you need this, and it’s going to happen. Just collar me, honey. Please! Lenny understands, don’t you, babe?” Karissa turned to her boyfriend, Leonard “Lenny” Miller, Jr. “Absolutely, dear. Look, this is what my girlfriend needs....
What in God’s name was going on, I asked myself as I came to in the shower, a hot jet of water hitting my face. It was ... what day again? Monday? Tuesday? Wednesday? I struggled through washing my face and body, before stumbling and nearly tumbling on my out of the shower. I reached vainly for a towel, only to have one rather suddenly used on me by a distinctly feminine hand. “Lauren?” I assumed that it was my fiancée, the same one that I was set to wed Saturday night (after the Sabbath...
Fuck me! Fuck me!” April’s words made my cock pulse as she hissed into my ear, her finger nails digging deeper into my back with each thrust of my hips. The room filled with the wet slapping sound of our sweaty bodies colliding as she urged me on. “Harder,” she moaned, her legs wrapped tightly around my body. I raised myself up with my arms in an attempt to gain better leverage as I repeatedly slammed my hips into hers, driving my cock deep with each forceful descent. Her eyes were...
SRU Apprentice - April Fools By DanielSan59 "This is gonna be great!" Dannie crowed in delight as she stirred the bubbling concoction in the huge old copper cauldron. *One final ingredient and it's done* she thought to herself as she added the sea urchin extract. There was a small hiss as the clear fluid joined the seething contents of the ruddily glowing cauldron, and a small cloud of noxious steam assaulted Dannie's gloating face. "Gaack! Why does this stuff have to...

TranssexualOf Fools and Pantyhose Belladonna We are our only siblings, but my sister and I have never been close. There was a bit of a rivalry between us growing up, however, it never really changed anything. My mother clearly favored her only son, and my father just as overtly favored his little girl. We all knew it, even if our parents wouldn't come right out and say it. While my father favored Constance, or Connie, as he alone was allowed to call her, he groomed me to take over the...

"Fools Rush In" "We'll take you on at football" said Marie the Captain of the University Ladies Hockey Team. "To prove that we are just as good at it as you are, but..." George, the captain of the University football team had been asking Marie for a match for months... It was a good chance to get up close with the girls and prove once and for all that as men they were superior and hopefully change shirts at the end of the game. What was the "but"? George interrupted Marie,...
"Fools Rush into the Gym" by Layne Smyth Porter sat on a bench overlooking the Willamette river and smiled. It was the weekend and also his day off so he was looking to simply enjoy the lovely spring day that had graced Portland a few weeks earlier than normal. The trees were in bloom with pockets of pink, white and purple dotting the waterfront. Ducks splashed about the bank of the river while a few dogs gave chase. The sun was high in the sky, which meant that girls also came out of...
Eventually, we finished dinner and had the kitchen cleaned and dishes washed up. And I’m sure that John was relieved. He was acting like a dog passing a peach pit as we all sat down in the living room. Everyone’s glass was filled, and we were all feeling pleasantly fed. Suzy gave me the go ahead to get started. So, I started the conversation. “Alright, John, this is your chance. Tell me about this ‘unusual’ guide group you’ve got.” “Well, Matt, Ms. Suzy, you know that my oldest daughter is...
Was I ever surprised last night? I never in my wildest dreams ever figured my wife would be involved with what happened last night! But, maybe I better start at the beginning. My name is Steve Cummings and I'm currently 24 years old, 5'-11" and weigh about 180. I have been married to my wonderful wife Amy, for almost two years, now. She is now 22, 5'-7" tall and weighs about 125 pounds. She's slim, and trim, and sexy as all get out. We met at her work, where she's a receptionist at...

Short and sweet and hopefully sufficiently tasty for your pleasure! 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0You'd have thought that by the time we reached and passed 18 that we'd have got past playing silly jokes on each other but not so....

Gay MaleWhen it came to women Caleb Burkheim was a novice; a true babe in the woods, yeah he was about as inexperienced as a man could be. Sure he liked women; he liked them a lot, it was just that he could never seem to get his ducks in line. He was always on the wrong page; always looking to the left when he should have been looking to the right. His most recent wave of calamities had started with Sandy. Sandy was a real looker; the cat’s meow, the proverbial rose amidst the thorns. In fact...
Maureen’s mom had walked her daughter through her earliest years; her injury, those awful first months when she nearly died, the little boy who was her companion and savior, their separation, and her subsequent surgeries and therapy. Maureen listened at first with polite condescension, but her patronizing demeanor soon evaporated; fading into disbelief, then confusion and denial; and last to appreciation, an appreciation tempered with profound feelings of guilt and grief, guilt over her own...
Introduction: Maxs infatuation comes to fruition. Max lay on his side, watching the alarm clock as it ticked its way closer and closer to seven a.m. The sun was coming in strong and sharp through the crack between the curtains and he could hear birds chirping away in the hedge outside. It was funny, but every time he saw Eva, she reminded him of a bird. Maybe it was the way she walked, that edgy grace, the upbeat attentiveness. He sighed loudly, and felt foolish because nobody was there to...
This is a very short part, intentionally so, adds to the feel of it.. After Steven had walked Jacie home, he ambled along with a huge smile on his face. He had always fancied her, but no-one had even gotten close to her because of Jack. ‘What a fool!’ He thought to himself. ‘He lets Laura steal him away from Jacie in one night. Ah well, his loss, my gain.’ “What are you looking so happy about?” The voice startled him, making him stumble. “Ooops, falling for me all over again?” Said Laura...

ReluctanceNot to trivialize Cal’s situation, but it indeed had been the best of times, and it had been the worst of times. All right he’d admitted to a woman the one thing no man ever dared admit. Yes he was a virgin; a twenty-six year old virgin. More than a quarter of a century old, and never once had a woman. How lame can one man get? That was the worst of it. But there was an upside too. If there was one woman on the planet to whom he had to make that admission to it was Maureen. For some reason...
Jack used to go to his best friend Jacie’s house, every evening to pick her up before they went out with the rest of their friends. They were as close as brother and sister, innocent in their way, yet always together in whatever mischief would arise. Her parents were always working, so she would look after her two kid brothers. Simple enough, the youngest would always be at his friend’s house next door, and the middle brother had his own life to lead. Jacie was your average tomboy, they had...
Again, intentionally short, hope it works. Let me know what you think Jack stood silently outside Jacie’s bedroom. On the other side of the door, he could hear her chatting and giggling with Laura like old friends. He needed her on her own. He needed to speak to her, to tell her it was a mistake, he was too pissed, too stoned. He did not know what was happening until it was too late. What the hell was she doing here anyway? They did not know each other, yet they sounded close right now. Hell,...
“JACIE! Jack has phoned three times already, are you ever getting out of bed?!? Oh, and your friend Laura is here.” Her mum’s voice echoed in Jacie’s ears as she tried to get some clarity through her cloudy thoughts. ‘Who the hell is Laura? What happened last night? How did I get home?!?” Just some of the thoughts mingling with the confusion in Jacie’s mind, as her bedroom door opened and in bounced Laura smiling her beautiful smile, her sky-blue eyes shining. Jacie instantly recognised her...
After she left the park, Jacie bumped into Steven in the alleyway, he was coming back from the shop. Steven was one of the lads, reliable and honest.

Her Mum was not in the least surprised, just wondered why they had not gotten together sooner. Her simple response was to show some lingerie to Jacie, let her surprise Jack one...
Trent and Nikki have covered quite a lot of ground from where we last left you. Seven months have passed. Seven months full of secret encounters. Seven months full of moments stolen away with one another. It hasn't always been easy but it has been the most exciting seven months of their lives. They would do it all over again just to have a piece of each other to carry around for the rest of their lives. Late one night the pair met in a public place and began to kiss. Kissing for them ignited...
Straight SexNikki and Trent walked, holding hands as they did, towards their hotel room. This wasn't a novelty that was lost on them. They were enjoying how free and open they were able to be with one another. It was natural for the pair as well, it just felt normal to be this way together. The pair disappeared to their sanctuary for the night. They shed their clothes as quickly as possible. Trent laid Nikki on the bed and gently began tracing her body with fingertips. He gently nibbled and kissed his way...
Straight SexNikki's car rushed down the interstate towards Trent. She knew he was waiting for her. They only had 24 hours stolen away together. A few short hours stolen from their everyday lives. For a day they belonged to each other. No question. No phone calls. No explanations. Solely to each other. Nikki and Trent had spent quite a bit of time together but not uninterrupted and not overnight. She looked forward to laying in his arms all night and feeling his body pressed against hers, feeling his breath...
Straight SexNikki's phone lit up and she blushed as she read the message. "What time are you leaving? I am so horny." Trent was an amazing lover and she found herself wanting to be with him as often as humanly possible. He had to cancel their date earlier in the week so Nikki was anxious and desperate to have him devour her. Nikki replied, "Leaving about 9:30. Can I see you then?""Hurry up!"Nikki wasn't able to pay attention to her friends after this. She hurriedly finished her drink, paid her tab and...

Oral SexTRICK OR TREAT Steven Trenton hopped forward struggling to get out of his costume. After all Scarlet O'Hara was crawling on her hands and knees across his bed.

He hopped again - his erection tangled in his underwear - and nearly fell over. GODDAMNFUCKINGCOSTUME! "C'mom baby hurry." Steve heard the pleading in his wife's voice. He...
As I lay in bed that night, at a hotel a long way from home, it all came back to me like a bad movie I couldn't turn off. Over the previous 15 years, I had never forgotten what had happened, but I had managed to suppress it and not dwell on it. But earlier that night, it had been forcefully thrust back into the forefront of my conscious thoughts... I was shaking all over, except for my hands. They were rock steady as I held the pistol inches from her head while she slept in our bed. She...
Tuesday usually was a quiet night in the pub, and after eating my evening meal, I was sitting there watching a couple of young lads teaching their girls how to play darts; but very badly. It had become my habit to have one decent meal a day, usually in the pub of an evening; the rest of the time I ate fast food. Not the healthiest of diets — what with all the beer as well — but I didn't really give a damn any more. Also, as usual, I was alone, having been away so long I had lost contact...
Despite her using a white cane out of the office, I suspected she was not totally blind. Her being a subtle paradox intrigued both of us. One day last week, I saw Megan grope her way along a wall out of the Ladies’. With rear and side of her knee-length skirt trapped in her tiny and shear bikini panties, several of us stopped short and stared. I know I sighed at the sight of her tiny, muscular leg and cheek and licked my lips at the thought of what I’d do with that leg. Her butt crack and more...
"You must be Bandy," I said. "Looks like we've come to the right place." "It's the last place you'll look, anyway," the dwarf said. "I couldn't help but notice that you have some fine performers, but that there is no real organization to their shows. It is just act after act that people watch until they are bored and then leave. I believe that by joining forces, we might bring a certain je ne sais quoi to the show. We could generate real excitement. Bring people in to see...
November 30, 1988, Cincinnati, Ohio “I’ll make some tea,” Becky said. “OK.” I was sitting on the couch in her small one-bedroom apartment. When we’d left her father’s house, I’d followed her home. Neither of us had said anything to Ben, and the driveway was long enough that he wouldn’t have seen us go the same way, though I hadn’t told him where I was staying, so that actually wouldn’t have meant much. But, I didn’t want him to know we were together, and neither did she. “Lemon...
John, Suzy, and I had set up a watch schedule when we planned this little adventure. John would pull the first watch. Staying awake until midnight. Then he would wake me, and I would cover it until 04:00 when I would wake Suzy. She would have the 04:00 until sunrise watch. This gave her the time to set up breakfast for the group. Usually, the midnight to 04:00 was the killer shift. My solution was to patrol the area. I wouldn’t just sit and watch the stars. I would get out and about. I would...
That morning, after breakfast, Doc decided that we would start putting the trail cams into place. I followed along. Supposedly for their protection. After all, there are lions and tigers and bears out there, oh my. In reality, I was curious about where their thinking was. There had been some controversy when I announced that Chuck was no longer working for the professor, but was the sole property of Suzy. And if you have a problem with that, talk to her. Nobody did. However, Vincent...
Vincent had been standing there, absorbing what I was saying about cameras. “Ok, Vince, show me what you’ve got.” I think that calling him Vince was the most startling thing that had ever happened to him. His face at first was shocked and then slowly changed to ecstasy. Could it be that this was the first time in his life, somebody went beyond friendly, to friend? This can be an eye-opener for a lonely kid. His face broke out in a huge smile, “Well, Matt,” there was a slight hesitation, and...
Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t spend all of my time shooting down the professor’s ideas. I did spend a lot of time following along behind and observing what they were up to. I don’t know where my thinking was. Maybe I thought I could learn something. If I did, I couldn’t tell you what it was. Most of my time was spent keeping an eye on things. Making sure nobody wandered off a cliff, or fell into the river. It wasn’t dull, really. But after a couple of days, it got routine. Suzy asked me one...
We had been in the high country for a week, and our project was coming to an end. All of the equipment had been collected and cleaned, packed, and was ready to go. After our final supper in the field, I asked the group if they had any questions or complaints. Everybody looked at each other. Finally, the professor spoke up. “Mr. Reynolds, how would you have done this? How would you plan and execute a project like this, gathering evidence of the animal called sasquatch?” I knew that this was...
As with all good things, we came to the last day of our little adventure. We had spent most of the morning packing the gear and cleaning up the camp. While I’m not one of those zero impact folks, I do try to keep everything to a minimum. So that includes a good police call for the camp and surrounding area. For some reason, this irritated Edgar. He said that he wanted to get something called b shots and footage at a meadow not far away. And then tried to feed me a line about morning sun and...
At the crossroads, we stopped. I double-checked on Phillip and made sure that we hadn’t missed anything. He was doing fine, apologetic as hell, but medically he was fine. Edgar? Well, I wasn’t sure how the rest of his life was going to work out. I think that it was a fairly safe bet that his plans were ashes. I also checked in with Chuck. I could see that he was now a young man with a plan, a goal. I hope that he could convince his family. I asked him what his plans were. “Well, Mr....
In the beginning, my relationship with Adi and Kat was confined to the weekends, usually Friday evening, Saturday and returning back to my little place on Sunday noon. During the week each of us was dedicated to our responsibilities and confined our relationship to the occasional morning coffee and conversation if we were in the same vicinity. I have to confess that I was as happy as hell with what had happened. I was involved with two very amazing women, amazons I suppose you could call...
As I drove to Jas's flat that Saturday evening I was having second thoughts, third thoughts and then fourth thoughts. There were two extremes in my deliberations, the most exciting extreme was that I would be making love with Jas again. At the other end of the pendulum's swing was the horrific thought that I may not be able to perform. In between were the rational and irrational arguments for and against helping Jas in her quest. So many arguments that I had arrived before a solution was...
There was a moment of stunned silence, broken by the irascible voice of Crudwright. “I fear my dear wife has been out in the sun for too long. Come along, Chastity, let me accompany you to our tent where you may lay down and compose yourself.” “If one could determine where the eastern edge of this lake was situated in the year Moses led the Hebrews across the Reed Sea one would indeed be standing where Moses and the Israelites had trod.” We all swung about to face the man who had spoken,...
The castle began to fill up a week before Court was set to officially open. Joseph was forced to shake the hands and accept the curtseys of dozens of lords and ladies, their children and grandchildren, several brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews, the staff they brought with them and a host of other people that arrived in Tyrell – and expected the hospitality of the castle. The first, of course, had arrived weeks earlier. Those that had stayed in local inns or in tents outside the...
Imagine a little girl, a precocious happy pretty little girl, in her very own backyard on her very own tricycle pedaling round and round on the gravel driveway where her daddy parks his car. It’s late March and the wind is howling. It’s that time of year, one of the waning days of another cold dark winter, and ‘the old man’ wasn’t quite ready to surrender his icy grip to the warm embrace of spring. The little girl, a raven haired emerald eyed beauty has on her heavy wool coat, knit mittens,...
Maureen had tried to stay awake. She wanted to consummate this relationship. She wanted to possess this man. She loved this awkward, lanky, boat building, chicken frying, nose punching young man. She thought about the punch in the nose for a second. That was quite a surprise. Nobody saw that coming. Yeah, Cal had become all she thought about, or cared about. He’d become her obsession. Just exactly when she knew he was the right one; the one for her, she couldn’t say. It had to have been that...
Maureen and her mother held each other, arms over shoulders, as they waved good bye to Cal. It had been a long day for both, but another event was still in store for the younger woman; an event she for which she was totally unprepared. Cal had asked Maureen to marry him the night before at the Olive Garden. Maureen had said yes but no too; she’d played a silly trick on him about being a virgin; saying she couldn’t marry him until he lost his cherry. He’d given it up to her later that very...
