Two more months passed and the day of the wedding crept inevitably closer. Suits and dresses were ordered and made, and Samantha arrived accompanied by a smiling Amanda for the rehearsals. Tony was worried. It seemed all too realistic for his liking. Much as he loved Rota, somehow his whole being balked at the thought of what seemed an arranged marriage. He knew now he really wanted to marry her properly, but he wanted to do it in his own time, and make it something very special.
"I thought that this was a fake wedding - where is the fake part?
Rota told him. "Everything is real except the vicar, who will be an actor and not an ordained priest, so all we have to do is to declare the wedding void at some later date when the fake is allegedly discovered."
"You know I love you and do really want to marry you, don't you? Tony told her.
"Yes, I know darling - I want you too. But soon we will have our own very special day. Something that will be very special and very private."
Tony had contacted his mother, but he was not surprised that they strongly disapproved of his marriage, because of Rota's notoriety. They had done their best to make him change his mind, but to no avail and very much to Debbie's amusement. They were both adamant, they would not come to the wedding. Despite the fact that they had never met Rota.
Her sister blamed Debbie for introducing him to such a notorious woman. Debbie's husband Ron, was to be his best man, as none of Tonys family or friends would agree to attend, but despite this, the wedding seemed to go to plan. It was not until after the wedding at the reception, that Tony had the first hint of a problem.
"Pity about your vicar." Ron said.
"Why, what went wrong?." Tony queried.
"He rang with a message for Rota, to say that he was sorry but he could not make it. He had a tummy bug."
"So!" Tony asked
"With Aunt Ada's help, I got the local vicar to stand in at the last moment."
"Tony realising the implication of Ron's remark sank into the nearest chair, his head in his hands, suddenly he realised that he felt quite pleased, but he wondered how Rota would react.
"What's the matter?" Ron asked.
"I dare not tell you." Tony replied, as all the implications began to sink in. A few minutes later Tony cornered Rota.
"Problems darling. Well sort of."
"What dearest." Rota replied as she wrapped her arms round him.
"We are really legally married. That Vicar was real, not the actor we had arranged. Dear Uncle Ron, and Great Aunt Ada, arranged the local Vicar, when the actor allegedly went ill."
Rota smiled coyly up at him. "I don't mind - anyway, if you don't, it means our baby will have a real daddy."
Tony smiled broadly down at her. He was deliriously happy, as he realised that she did not really mind either. Marriage to Rota would not be dull, and he did love her very much indeed.
It was shortly after the reception had finished, and Tony and Rota were about to leave for their honeymoon, that a severe thunderstorm hit the area. Rota worried about her Aunt Ada who was highly nervous of storms, decided to run back to the main house from the marquee in the garden to see if she was all right, and say her goodbyes, before they left for their honeymoon.
Just as Rota reached the front door, there was a flash of lightening, and an enormous clap of thunder and Tony realised immediately that Rota had been hurt. Tony was stunned, he had seen the lightening strike her umbrella spike and immediately he ran to her assistance, but it was too late she was dead.
David was excited as he drove the Bronco to Phoenix. Udit and Brennan were with him on the trip. Udit felt like Avasa was the daughter that he never had. He also felt responsible for Ava since he was not able to save her father and husband. Udit didn't feel it was right for Ava to travel without a chaperone. He didn't believe a man anxious for her company and a stranger qualified as proper chaperones. "Besides," he convinced himself. "I've been stuck up in these mountains while...
We had a good life filled with love for each other until one day, as my wife and daughter were headed home on Loop 610, a tractor trailer plowed into my wife's car flipping it over instantly killing my wife and putting my daughter in the hospital for several weeks. The trucking company paid all the hospital bills but my precious angel was in for a long recovery period. I put all of my work on hold so I could look after my daughter in the hospital and then at home. We both missed her mother...
Judy and I dated quite regularly two and sometimes three times a week. We were getting to be a definite item. I was busy two nights a week with cheerleading practice. Kim and Sandy and of course Judy came by to help out with the squad. Having three experienced helpers really made my job a lot easier and the squad progressed in their routines a lot faster and smoother. I got a call on my cell from the fire chief who was a friend of mine. He told me that there was a problem at Cindy's house...
Copyright 2009 by madengineer3 I want to thank MiliktheRed for his great help in editing this story. He found many errors that I missed. * It started out as a simple Saturday at home.

My specialty is doing analysis on complex electronic circuits. The people who wanted the quote for a worst case analysis were in a bind. They had discovered that the firm...

Tony makes New Friends Tony found that during the next few weeks, he was led into a life that was completely new to him. Rota spent a lot of money, and outfitted him with a completely new wardrobe. He started mixing with an entirely new set of people, and he found that he soon made many new friends, and enjoyed many new casual conquests. At first Tony found it hard going. The society that Rota mixed with, did things in different ways to those which he was used to. They had different topics...
Great Aunt Ada Takes a Hand Great Aunt Ada, as she was called by the family was now 75 years old. She knew that she did not have long to live, or so the doctors had told her. Now to her, the problem of succession was one of the things that had become vitally important with her increasing age. She looked at the detectives report that lay on the table in front of her. Suddenly she looked again at the photograph of Tony, then the date of birth. Her heart missed a beat. She wondered was it a...
Meanwhile not too far away from his new home at St John's Wood, Sue and Sarah had, like many identical twins always been very close. There holiday to Thailand had been the climax to a big family row with their parents. The row had originally erupted over Sarah's sexuality. Her father had recently caught her late one night, kissing another girl openly, and very passionately, outside the house in full public view. So much so, that he had rightly concluded that Sarah was a lesbian. His anger...
Tony earns his Keep Debbie lay in her bed next morning. Ron had long gone to work, as she thought about Tony and what had happened between them. Just thinking about him, was enough to set her off, she realised that her hands had unconsciously started working hard under her night-dress. There was no choice, he had to go, Ron was thick, but he was not that thick, and she wanted if possible, to let her marriage run for a bit yet before she kicked him out. She had many other lovers, and she...
Tony Finds a Bride It had been about two months before Tony arrived, that the Lady Rota Montreeth had been summoned to the presence of Great Aunt Ada. She had been told in no uncertain terms, that her Aunt expected her to get a man, marry him, and produce an heir. "This time get a young man - someone who doesn't have a heart attack every time you get him into bed. If you don't, I'll leave every penny to Malcolm, that homosexual cousin of yours, and his starchy wife." The Lady Rota...
A New Life It was only when they got to Barons Court her country home. Set in the middle of a large rambling country estate. Which had been left to her by her first husband, and maintained by the money left to her by Bertie her second husband, who had tragically died "on the job", that Tony began to get an inkling of what it was all about. It was later that evening, that the full story gradually came out. Tony realised that he was now in much deeper than he had originally realised. He was...
The grass was hot, and the blanket tickled his bottom as he sat down, but he hardly noticed it. She stood in front of him at arm's length, looking down at his erect penis, then she knelt in front of him with her hands behind his head. Staring into his eyes. Tony ran his hands slowly up and down the soft skin of her waist, and then pulled her towards him, to kiss her breast. He kissed the soft skin around her erect nipples, and then began gently sucking. She pulled his head to her breast, and...
Over the next few days, the girls kept him guessing over their identity. It became quite a game each time they met. After a few days, both the girls in their different ways, became a little enchanted by Tony's own quiet personality. Even Sarah, enjoyed being with Tony, and did not discourage him from some light snogging. One night, Sarah having met a girl friend from back home, decided to go out with her. Sue and Tony decide to spend the evening in a night club. On their way home in the...
The account that you’re about to read is a true story that I’ve put together for a friend. I have tried seeing things from a female perspective, and hope that it comes across well. Names, quite naturally have been changed. This is dedicated to my friend Kinkybitch1 Hi. My name’s Tina and this is my story. It contains sex, love, tragedy and some violence. I’m eighteen now, but was fourteen when it all happened. These days I’m more confident in myself, but that’s all due to my mum. She’s my...
This is the prize story Gunslinger wrote for me as a winner in the July 98 Gunslinger Challenge. Chilli was the 1st place winner and should have had the story written for them, but they deferred and allowed me to get the honor. With my almost insatiable draw toward stories involving Catwoman, as most of you probably know if you've been reading my stories, I asked him to write a story where somehow my infatuation with Catwoman causes me to become her. One of the Random Images on...
Hello everyone, I am a regular reader of ISS and I am more interested in Incest stories. Even though I like having sex relations with women, I haven’t got a chance.

Yankee Swap, Chapter 19: Triumph and Tragedy Connie lived to dance. She knew something was bothering Kim and was frustrated not knowing what it was. She knew Ken was a very private person - Cheree had said as much over the years - but Ken seemed an extrovert compared to Kim. Connie found it hard to even get time to spend with her, and that left no room to get down to what was going on. Of course it could just be the reaction of dressing as a woman for over a week now, but she...
Ann was always the type of girl who did what she thought was right even if it meant going against what was popular. She wasn't the type of person who liked confutation but she wasn't afraid to fight for what she believed in. Which means she isn't a push over by any means believe me I know from experience. She would also do anything for love as long as it didn't go against her beliefs or so she thought. When she was fourteen she met a boy by the name of Brandon who she instantly fell head...
Author's note: This chapter deals exclusively with the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. I realize that there are certainly readers out there who suffered through the loss of a loved one on 9/11, or know someone who did. This chapter will probably be a bit intense for those in that situation. But as I said, chapter 73 deals with 9/11 and only 9/11. If you wish to skip over this chapter, you can feel comfortable going straight to the beginning of chapter 74, where I'll immediately...

The farm they stayed on was a big farm with many acres of land. It was a beautiful place. My aunt and uncle tried to make everything as comfortable for me. They were nice folks, but even after the 2 years I stayed with them, the loss of my parents didn't want to leave my mind. At school the girls didn't exactly fight over me but I had a fair share of girls that liked me. I'm 5'8 with dark hair and green eyes, my name is Bobby by the way. From the years I lived on the farm helping my...
Kelly was in her dorm room studying when the call came in. She actually dropped the phone when her dad told her that her mother had passed away suddenly from a stroke. She cried for over an hour with her dad doing his best to be strong and try to comfort her. She bought a plane ticket home as soon as she was off the phone and didn't sleep the entire night. When she touched down in her hometown late the next night she was emotionally drained and dead tired. Jack and his wife were there to...
**A special thanks to Tashia for helping me out with the series!** Donovan Powers drove around with no destination in mind. His mind was focused on what had just happened between Linden and him. How could she have done that? How could he have responded to her that way? Why had he? Sure, it was just a kiss, but it came on the back of his best friend dying. She had been Jett’s girl, not his. He was never that type of guy who could just so easily take up where others left off. He never would...
Donovan Powers watched her silently from beside a cottonwood tree. He looked on as she ran her hand slowly across the engraved name on the smooth granite gravestone. It was as if Linden Sealy couldn’t believe he was gone. Neither could Donovan. At first, only a single tear formed in her eye, spilling over to streak down her pale cheek. After only a moment, more tears followed the first. Suddenly, the sky opened up, mixing ice cold rain with her tears. She raised her face to the harsh...
CHAPTER 1 Working as a trainer in a gym was beginning to depress Dean Armstrong. So many people with excellent potential started with good intentions and would be doing fine. But all too many would gradually weaken and finally opt out, their resolve crumbling. He was relieved other trainers also experienced similar frustration. It was so wasteful. And then his older brother Callum, aged thirty, pressed Dean to join him in business selling mobile phones and other communication equipment. Dean...

Hi there, my name is Damien and I want to tell you a story. It’s a pretty shitty story at that so bear with me. I am in a unique situation, but I’ll let the story fill you in the details. Here we go…….. Prelude Spending 60 days in country on my first time with Zero Section of the CIA’s SOG section and surprisingly it was boring. Composed mostly of watching, listening and looking at some local nationals for intel on possible operations when you saw her. 5’2 Redhead semi-shapely woman in PT...
FantasyI had not left my room for what felt like weeks. Sure, I had gone out to get something to eat here and there, and shower, but other than that I was in my room. My father expressed his concern through my door, telling me that it was unhealthy to lock myself up like this but it didn’t change anything. I was not ready to come out. “Elaina,” my father spoke softly though the door. I could hear the concern in his voice, but I could not bring myself to answer him. “Please talk to me.” I didn’t know...

Daddy sat me down on the counter in the bathroom, as he turned the shower on. I leaned back and jumped slightly at the feeling the cold glass of the mirror against my burning skin. My breath had still not caught up with me and everything seemed as if it was going in slow motion. I imagined this is what it felt like to be a firework. “Hot, warm or cold,” my daddy turned and asked me. “Warm is good,” I told him, still unable to get the smile off of my face. “Though cold might be good as well.” ...
IncestThis story contains no sexual activity by persons under 18.While cataloging old manuscripts at the University of Bologna, I discovered the following extraordinary document, tucked inside another one and mislaid for centuries. It appears to be a tale told to an Italian traveler in Central Asia, sometime in the 13th century. I have translated it into contemporary English, while trying to preserve the simple and direct style of the language. It is worth noting that the age of menarche [first...
The next morning I woke alone. I bathed from the big jar, cleaning up the mess I had made of myself and remembering the night before with tremulous joy. I felt like a different woman. There was a great and wondrous spirit in my loins. I had felt its magic through and through. The wise-woman came in a little later with a bag full of herbs. Her manner was serious. “Apprentice,” she said, “you must understand what passed between us last night. It is the way of the young to fall in love with the...
After watching Wise-Women and Strong-Back fuck I realized that I must seek my own lover, but my desire returned fourfold. I began to spend more time with others of the village as I did my chores, looking for young people who might want to fuck. I was nervous at first, but I gained confidence with experience.The girls were not very interested, as she had warned me. They were not wise-women and had not the training. Some only wanted to fuck men. Some were afraid to push anything into their...

I had picked up Priya in Escondido, and after waiting to ensure that Clara had food and water for the day, we headed towards the rugged terrain of Anza Borrego. After a fun rendezvous on the wilderness with Makahlya a couple of months ago, she had arranged another mid-week trip. Instead of the forested peaks where we had played last time, she had chosen the desolate area straddling San Diego and Imperial counties. This time Makahlya had invited not only her friends Tessa and Nikki and...
Maybe it was a premonition of dire things to come that made his wife, DeAndra Campeau, hire both a nanny and a wet-nurse when she went back east to have her baby. She had been having intermittent pains since she had been three months pregnant and the doctors advised complete bed rest. She insisted that she would not have her baby in the primitive conditions of the semi-wild west of the mid-nineteenth century and she arranged for the long trip back to Philadelphia from northern Nevada. Still...
"She came in through the bathroom window" I'm Karl. I'm six-four, 240. I'm fifty--a retired EMT. I live next to a busy street. I keep my sliding glass door open for ventilation and have my computer next to it. I was typing away at a story when I heard a shot. I snapped my head to the left, just in time to see a bicyclist dive off the road and headlong into a tree. They bonelessly tumbled down the embankment wrapped up in their bike only to come to rest in a heap on the lawn not ten feet...
Sophie was on the computer, checking out her email and also reading the latest news. Warren was in the room, playing with Betsy. "It got out," Sophie said with a grin. "What did?" "Ryan's marriage. It's in the news. 'American Ice Dancer Ryan Killen married his lady love, Jessica Reidel, in a surprise ceremony in Las Vegas.'" Warren laughed. "We'll have to tell Jess she got her name in the paper." "Yep," Sophie grinned. She read for a few more minutes, then burst out with,...
Sandy and her family were in Tanzania at one of their newly built schools. Sandy immediately set up classes with the young girls in the village to teach English (and quietly, her sex-ed class for the older girls). Her parents and Randy were building a water purification system that Randy had previously designed as well as installing the solar and battery power for the school. It was September, and Sandy & Randy’s 17th birthday was coming up. Around the table that evening, Mom asked them...
I did not hear from Meg the following week and when I tried to call and speak with Jim, his Mom always told me he was not there. Two weeks went by and I was frantic to talk to her. My Mom called out and told me I had a phone call. She said it was a girl. My heart leaped to my throat as I picked up the receiver in my room. It was Sidney on the other end and what she had to say caused my world to come crashing down. Megan and Jim were both gone. Meg had managed to call her in the middle of...
The great CUPCAKE MYSTERY continued unsolved, going into Monday. But I had to lay it aside for focus on Higher Learning. It was now mid-November, with the days getting shorter, and me enjoying life at "16". Bev (this time not accompanied by Carly) confirmed that they would be at my basement door no later than 3:30, and how much both of them were looking forward to it. To which I reacted, "and she wants to put me in her mouth – and possibly swallow my Cum... ?" I think that stark question...
Only a week later mom got sick with a very bad strain of pneumonia. Fran and I got shots to keep us from getting sick. I had to take time off school to take care of her. In less than a month she was gone. That event REALLY changed my life. Miss Jerry, one of mom’s many friends stayed with us and helped us dress for the funeral. Then Mrs. Roberts, a supervisor from CPS, Child Protective Services, stayed with us for a few days. She talked about foster care or adoption. I tried to talk her out...
I spent the rest of my time that summer doing odd jobs around the house and visiting with my friends from school. I even spent a couple of energetic evenings and enjoyable meals with Jana Radler. Tory Payne was doing well and was interested in me letting him know what the Eastern Oregon University experience was like. He was considering when he would move when he finished his two years at Crook College. He was still involved in taekwondo with Sharon Weller and had moved up a notch since I...
The four-seat air car climbed into the air from the Silka compound. Julian and Laniya the happy couple on board headed off on a pleasure trip. The rear seats filled with enough supplies to last for the week they planned on being gone. Their three children were staying with the neighbors. The trip would encompass a visit to the ruins of the village of their birth and would culminate with a campout on the shores of a small lake of, which they both had knowledge. There was no hurry and two days...
1873 After the chill rains brought forth a glorious spring, track laying on the twin rails of the Metropolitan Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was finally completed. Ballasting work continued steadily, but the sweating crews missed a mid-April and then an early May date that officials had announced for an long-heralded opening celebration. A special excursion train did travel up to Cumberland one weekend, proving that the tracks were actually finished, but it made no stops. When...
The weekend was a fairly lazy affair for all but Tina. She was still a whirlwind. She had ideas of using various musicians at the festival in their two concerts, mostly in support of Rebecca's ballads. She scored for, organized, and rehearsed various groups. None of them, to Tony's amusement, seemed to include a tuba player. The other teens amused themselves by seeing the sights. There wasn't much that was new. There was a lighthouse, but Tybee Island had one of those. There was the beach...
Going to bed that night both Kim and I looked foreword to a restful sleep snuggled up in bed. After a few kisses good night we drifted off to dreamland. Around three in the morning we were awakened by the sound of sirens getting closer and eventually stopping it seemed right in front of our house. I got out of bed and looked out the front window at an array of flashing red lights. Thinking to my self, "My God what is going on?" I dashed back to the bedroom and grabbed some clothes so I...
If it weren't such a serious circumstance, one might be amused to see a girl eight and a half months pregnant waddling down the street like a duck wearing snowshoes. Teddy realized that at that stage in her pregnancy it was not a good idea to be running anywhere. Realizing that fact, Ted made sure to keep a steady, slow pace as they went down the street. Because of the trees and bushes at each of the houses, they could not tell which house had smoke coming from it. It wasn't until they were...
The Sarasota weather had started to moderate with the daytime ninety to one hundred-degree temperatures finally lowering into the eighties. At eleven thirty at night the outdoor temperatures were very pleasant, especially if there was a breeze. Dave had been in the gazebo with Nancy Mason, the woman he’d mentored at the public utility he’d worked at before taking over the fledgling state of the art battery company for Mark Worthington. Given the hour and the expectation that no children...
