Our raft trip down the river towards Lake Powell began the day after Donna and I had delivered a boat trailer to a canyon takeout point where we had discovered a mutual carnal lust. A river ranger named Ellen had the task of rowing the raft while Donna and I visited eroding Indian ruins, taking notes and drawing maps. Ellen also had the job of stopping other rafting parties to make sure they had proper permits and life preservers. I was new to this river stuff, and no one had warned me that on many of these private rafts, clothing was optional. Ellen explained that Utah was a conservative place, and nudity along the river although common was intentionally not talked about. Since we were on government business, it was not appropriate for us to completely undress.
However, as soon as we had floated away from civilization, off went most of Ellen's uniform, although she did continue to wear a ranger's hat to identify herself as a public servant. She wore a small bikini, and proceeded to liberally oil her exposed skin with suntan lotion. Donna stripped down to an equally small bikini and I removed my uniform shirt, keeping on a pair of running shorts. I opted for sunscreen which Donna rubbed onto my back. Before long, we overtook another raft on which everyone was naked. Ellen checked their permits and discussed some upcoming rapids. I pretended to write in my notebook while eyeballing the entire situation from behind dark sun glasses. With the exception of our small raft party, everyone else we encountered on the river that day was naked. It was beyond me how anyone could not get turned on by the scenery.
The day became very hot and we pulled off the river at the mouth of a narrow canyon. Ellen said there was a spring fed pool a short distance up this canyon that she had discovered on a previous trip. She pulled off her bikini and persuaded us to remove our suits as well, saying that our nudity would not be seen. The canyon pool was crystal clear and the three of us savored its coolness for nearly an hour. Ellen then said she had to return to the raft, but that Donna and I didn't have to return immediately, and could enjoy the water for a few more minutes. As soon as Ellen disappeared down the trail, I stroked my flaccid penis into a rigid state of attention while slowly walking towards Donna, who dangled her feet off the side of a rock ledge into the pool of water. I couldn't help myself. She looked so beautiful sitting there naked with her long raven hair.
Donna tried to remain aloof, saying that we had only a few minutes and she didn't want to start anything and risk getting caught by Ellen or anyone else who could come back up the trail from the river. I reluctantly agreed, but asked if I could at least kiss each of her nipples before our short hike back to the raft. This she did agree to thinking it would hasten our departure. But she permitted my kisses to become a prolonged caress, and as had happened the day before, Donna's nipples became erect bullet points as I greedily sucked one and then the other. She flinched as I lightly tugged on her her sensitive areola with my teeth, let out a small moan, and again said we should stop.
Desert Crossing When you think of a desert crossing you probably think of Iraq or some place exotic. Well I have a desert in my own backyard in lower Colorado. I live near the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Reserve. The park is located about thirty-five miles northeast of Alamosa, Colorado. I live about four miles east of Hooper and my land borders the park. I’m pretty lucky because poisonous snakes do not exist anywhere in this high elevation area. I live at about eight...
Desert Heat – Pt 5Saturday, was cold inside and hot outside as usual. Ginger got dressed quickly like she did every morning, only this time she put on a halter top on under her regular top. She was very quiet again and I knew she was still struggling with what had been said last night about if one of the ladies went topless because of the heat, would the other. Ginger knew that Olga would and that the decision rested with her. Once we were out in the field, she again took her outer top off...
The helmet is painted with the same demon face as the red one. The motorcycle is a big red Honda CR 500. I wonder if you will show. I wonder if it is the police that will come instead. I am confident with the canyons and bluffs in this area I can even loose a helicopter if they try to catch me. Hell, there were likely 20 or 30 other desert riders in the area and you could only give them a scant description at best. DNA would get me but I am counting on you not reporting it. Your...
You have had the fantasy of being taken forcefully for awhile and when it actually happened.... 'God'! 'Stop this', you scream in your mind. You are so thankful that David, your husband, is out of town. If he had answered the door how would you have explained the roses and the note? Still it is nagging at you so! You could be killed or worst. Those hard eyes. The hard body. The mystery! I watch from the highest hill top. Dressed in a jet black Moto-X suit, with black helmet and black...
Desert Heat – Part 29Monday – Wednesday, August 20-29, 1985Monday morning I again woke early and tried to slip out of bed without waking the girls, but it’s hard to do when sleep cuddled up between them. I thought that I may have succeeded but before I made it to the bathroom I heard Ginger say that I’m not getting away that easily. Pepper sleepily added that I should hurry up in the bathroom because they were going to have me for breakfast before I hit the road. Doing what I had to do, I...
Desert Heat – Part 17Sunday – Wednesday, July 21 – Aug 1, 1985Sunday morning nearly came and went without anyone in the house waking up. When I did finally open my eyes and focused on the clock, it was almost 12 noon. I got out of bed, went to the bathroom and then back to wake Ginger up without waking Pepper. However, I got Pepper to respond before Ginger and the three of us stumbled our way to the kitchen. Ginger made a pot of coffee and we debated on whether to have breakfast or lunch...
It had been only four days since, I joined as an Asst. Admin, and my manager (who took my interview), started asking me for a treat. There are about 4 people in our team, two of them are from IT and, me & my manager are from Admin. The IT team has one more female, so in a team of four, 2 are males and two females. Since my manager had been asking for a treat, I decided to order lunch for all four of us and I organized a small tea party. Everyone was happy and congratulated me on getting the...
DESERT BOUND By Silky Sullivan It was a sweltering August day with not a cloud in the sky. According to thedigital gauge on the dash of Traci's black Mustang convertible, the temperaturewas at 108 degrees and climbing. Although it was tempting to let the top downand allow her gorgeous shoulder length blonde tresses to be caressed by thegentle breeze, the persistent penetrating rays of the Mojave Desert sun persuadedher otherwise. As Traci's car streaked across the desolate countryside,...
Michelle was cruising down the highway with the top down on her car, singing at the top of her lungs to the feminist tone of the Beyonce hit song, Single Ladies. It was a song that she had recently adopted as her anthem after she left her boyfriend of three years. It was liberating to walk away from someone after years of on and off again chances, ultimately deciding not to waste anymore time on the relationship going nowhere. Since the break up Michelle resolved to take advantage of her single...
InterracialDesert Heat – Part 27Saturday, Aug. 18, 1985All five of us seemed to wake at the same time, but no one knew why. We got up, fixed breakfast and asked Pepper what she had in mind. She said she wasn’t sure and was open to suggestions. As we sipped our coffee, we looked at each other and I could tell by the looks on their faces that they had ideas, but were hesitant to speak out. I knew it was because of my statement about not getting arrested which meant that it was up to me to make the first...
At the start of our little road trip, we decided to take the a shorter route, through New Mexico. To our surprise, it ended up being a long drive, straight through Hell. This small road, snaked through the largest desert that I've ever seen. I had no idea, how much longer we had to drive through this. I did not fill up at the last truck stop either and kept worriedly glancing at the gauge . The car started to sputter before long and you tossed me a worried look. "Well," I said, rolling over to...
SupernaturalI woke early the next morning as I usually do. Ginger was still sound so I quietly moved around, packing up our stuff to get ready to head back to our home as soon as she was awake. I only had four days off after working ten straight and we just spent one of those days off with Bill and Olga. I was anxious to get back home and take care of things there. I had called Jerry to let him know we would be staying an extra day down here, and he said no problem.It was almost two hours later when I...
Desert Heat – Pt 6Sunday morning’s alarm went off and I found Ginger still d****d on top of me. I began to kiss her and play with her butt until she woke. Lifting herself off me, she smiled and told me it was shame her dream had to end. I asked what she was dreaming and she told me she was dreaming about being home in our pool and Bill and Olga were there with us and we were all swimming naked and having a great time. Before we got out of bed, she climbed back on me and rode me like she did...
Desert Fun. Norm deals with an associates wife's indiscretions firmly but gently.She swept into the Casino like an old time film star, a vision in white and cream, immaculate grooming her blond hair cascading over her shoulders. Conversation diminished as men turned to stare and women scowl with jealousy. I stood and she changed direction to glide towards me, "Mr McGuire" I kissed her gloved hand."Ah Mrs Stephens, you came". "Was it not, as they say, an offer I could not refuse."...
August 2006. Odessa, TX. "I've been through the desert on a horse with no name. It felt good to be out of the rain. In the desert, you can't remember your name, cause there ain't no one to give you no pain. La da da da da da..." Jack Killinger grimaced and turned his radio's volume down. I like this song, he mused, but right now I'm not in the mood. Maybe some country ... nah, never mind. He clicked the radio off, trying again to concentrate on the road. He had been living and...
Note : This story is completely fictional! The sun beat down really hot on the desert where my family was walking. My parents and brother and I were taking a walk in the Southern California desert with my Aunt Kathi and Uncle Marty this Saturday afternoon to spend some time together as a family. Since my family is very active, we had decided to walk the long desert trail out to the top of Garnet Mountain. While we were hiking I saw an animal dashing through the rocks and sage brush. Being an...
IncestThe days riding had been fantastic. I could not get enough. Fast and flat out across the desert then tight scary trails close to the cliffs. Total sensory overload. The party is getting good too. Lots of ice cold beer, some wine and grills cooking burgers and hot dogs. Everything from tents to my motor home. About 40 people all counted. Friends and wives, girlfriends and lovers. Some of the riders good people and others I would kill to beat on the track. Your brother in law had told...
We are out shoveling snow from our driveway for the second time this week. And for the second time in the past five minutes, I think that I should be joining you on your business trip to Palm Springs next week! I pause in my shoveling and look over at you. Even after years of being together, I still find your tall, slim form attractive. You look up as if to say, “Keep shoveling!” I can see the humor in your warm brown eyes from here. I bend down to move another pile of snow. Out of the corner...
Desert Heat – Pt 4Thursday morning was like every other morning in the small trailer. The temp was freezing and you couldn’t get dressed fast enough. Ginger was unusually quiet and I was wondering if she was having second thoughts or perhaps feelings of guilt about what happened last night at the lake with Bill and Olga. I wasn’t sure how or when to broach the subject, but knew we would have to talk about it sometime. I just hoped that it hadn’t damaged our relationship. Breakfast was...
You called me yesterday and told me you'd pick me op to take a hike out to your favorite place in the canyons outside of town. Little did I know how far out we were going to hike. You were so excited to be sharing this place with me I could hardly keep up with. That wasn't such a bad thing since I had the most amazing view of your hot ass most of the way. I don't know if it was all the fresh air or maybe even dehydration but you jus kept getting sexier with each step you took. There was...
Before they had gone very far down the southern trail, a very dire event occurred. The sky was blackened with the shadow of whirring wings and pale yellow bodies. The day grew dark, and in that darkness a rain of jumping flying forms with claws and ravenous mandibles covered everything, and even attempted to eat the ropes holding the loads to the camels. John called a halt, and had the three silk tents set up, and all gear hastily unloaded within, and women and children. The men removed...
Slowly John returned to his senses. He must still be alive then, he thought stoically to himself. He seemed to be laying on sand. Must have washed to shore, he thought wearily, content to rest where he was. Eventually his subconcious caught up with his rational mind, and he noticed something that had been bothering him on some level, or rather the absence of several things that had been causing him to tense up, as if waiting for the other shoe to drop, or the next ploink of the dripping...

MasturbationYou have paid a visit to a girlfriend who lives on the edge of the Bad Lands. Heading for home you took a wrong turn somewhere and now were in the middle of the desert. When you turned around on a dirt road to retrace your route you heard a loud bang and now you car is shaking badly. Getting out and walking around to the passenger side you see your right front tire is flat. 'Damn, damn, damn'! Opening your trunk you get out your jack and use it raise the right side. ...
Desert before Dinner It was a late Monday night when I arrived home to see Marry preparing dinner. I empty my pockets and turn the television as my normal routine. I’m sitting in the chair relaxing when a commercial comes on, so I get up to get something to drink. I entered the kitchen only to find Marry standing near the stove. “You know we have the place to ourselves for a while,” Marry said smiling seductively at me. “Maybe we should skip dinner and go straight for desert.” A smile comes...
Desert Heat – Part 28Sunday, Aug. 19, 1985I woke quite early Sunday morning and managed to slip out from in between Ginger and Pepper. They just naturally rolled towards each other in their sleep and cuddling each other in their arms. I made my way to my office and closed the door. Coffee wasn’t an option this early as the smell would wake everyone and none of them would be happy waking this early. Grabbing some of the tech journals, I leaned back in my chair and began to skim through them,...
Desert Heat – Part 24Thursday, August 16, 1985Thursday morning, I woke late. Ginger and Pepper were already up and eating breakfast. Jerry and Rosemary had already left for work. They handed me a plate of food and invited me to join them. As I ate, I asked what was on their agenda and they said that there was only one thing on the agenda today and it was me. They said that they both missed me and wanted to make up for lost time. I asked what they meant and Pepper said that I would just...
Desert Heat – Part 23Monday - Wednesday, August 6-15, 1985Monday morning came way too early. I got up, packed my cold foods, loaded up the truck and headed out for what I knew was going to be a very lonely 10 days. In fact, this 10 day stretch seemed to last twice as long as any other 10 day stretch, even those at the beginning of summer when I was going down alone. I tried to get one of the four others to write up what happened while I was gone then, but they insist that I write what they...
Desert Heat – Part 19Friday, Aug. 3, 1985Like normal, I was awake about half an hour before Pepper’s alarm went off. After going to the bathroom, I just sat in a chair across the room and watched the two sisters sleeping naked. They had turned during the night and the Pepper was cuddled up behind Ginger with her arm over her. They truly looked like identical twins and I couldn’t help but think how lucky I was to love both and make love to both. But I couldn’t help but wonder just how long...
Desert Heat – Part 12Monday morning came early and neither Ginger nor I felt like hitting the road for another 10 days out in the small dusty desert town, but duty called and we loaded up and hit the road. On the way down, Ginger talked about Bill and Olga. She said she liked them and was grateful for them helping her to get out of her shell and she enjoyed what happened with them last week. However, after what happened this weekend at home, she asked if it would be okay if we took things...
The desert sun was hot and the ground scorching. Not much of anything moved in the intense heat of the day, that is except for me. I was working a summer job for a company about an hour and half from home. They had me staying in a small travel trailer on the southern edge of the small desert town. I worked in the field gathering research statistics for 10 days straight and then had 4 days off. The small trailer had an air conditioning unit that ran on high 24/7. As the temps outside...
I had been managing a well known restaurant for about 3 years when the supervisor moved me to another one to help it get its sales up. I liked it there, but it was not the same as my old one. I made friends with at waitress there named Debbie. We worked one really slow Sunday and spend some time sitting in the dining room talking. She starts to tell me about this one hot cop that ests there. He was Italian and about 6ft 3 and hot... according to her. I thought.. maybe the transfer might be a...
The Eastern Emperor was often bored. He enjoyed adventure stories, but wasn't allowed to have any of his own. He was seventeen, and while he was allowed to learn the arts of war, he was never allowed to actually enter into battle. Besides, the Empire was mostly at peace. He had his personal spies out looking for adventure stories and exciting happenings far and wide, and they knew what he liked. One lucky spy who was richly rewarded brought him a carving of a strange sea creature, obviously...
Our little rafting party continued to drift down Southern Utah's silt laden San Juan River towards a take out point near Lake Powell. For much of the day we floated through a 1,000-foot-deep meandering chasm carved into soft and crumbling sandstone as the river took us toward our destination. Ellen, the river ranger, said this geological formation was called the "Goosenecks," which prompted Donna, the other ranger, to read out loud from a geology field guide a description of what we were...
Templar Combat Battalion, TCB Colonel Marcus ‘Mumbatik’ Dangal Personal Combat Battalion of the Regimental Commander On the open top of my command cupola of the command tank, I enjoyed the breeze that the night wind is blowing, as the Leopard 2A6EX 145mm main cannon tank rolled through the desert of Ar’Raq. I have set the viewer of my HUD to separate view screen one is night vision while the right side is thermal. Technology has done great wonders and my visor of the helmet I am wearing...
It was another gorgeous night in the desert. The evening is comfortable enough to be nude, the hot tub was hot and a very good friend was expected. I've also made sure that my camera is charged and ready as I'm sure that there will many opportunities to take many keepsake photos. We are sitting in our living room when there was a knock on the door. As expected, our good friend Jim has arrived. We always enjoy Jim. He a tall, handsome, fun loving guy with a beautiful...

Desert Heat – Part 32 - Wedding Day Saturday, Sept. 1, 1985Like normal I woke early and tried to sneak out of bed, but before I could reach the end of the bed I heard Ginger whisper, asking me where I was going. I told her I was going to the bathroom and she told me to hurry back as she had the morning dibs on me. I smiled, did my business and hurried back. Pepper hadn’t moved or said anything I suggested to Ginger that we go to the livingroom and she thought that was a good idea. Once in...
Desert Heat – Part 31 - Day Before the WeddingFriday, August 31, 1985 Friday morning I woke early again and made my way to my office to catch up on more reading. It was over an hour later when Ginger and Pepper peeked in and said good morning. They headed to kitchen to fix breakfast while I finished reading one more tech article. The smell of coffee brought me to the kitchen to find my two gorgeous naked wives busily fixing a breakfast fit for royalty. I asked why all of the fixings and...
Desert Heat – Part 30Thursday, August 30, 1985I must have been more tired than usual as I never heard Pepper get up and get ready for work. Ginger got up with her and still I slept through it all. By the time I finally woke, up, Jerry and Rosemary had also gotten up, eaten and headed off to work, their last work day before their wedding on Saturday. When I did wake, up, the house was eerily silent and I felt very alone. I stumbled out of the bedroom and noticed that everyone was gone. The...
Desert Heat – Part 26Friday, Aug. 17, 1985Friday morning, Pepper and I awoke to the strong smell of coffee and bacon. She was still nestled up against me but when I reached behind me, Ginger was not there. I turned to see her standing at the doorway holding a bed tray with breakfast for 2 and a big smile on her face. Pepper told her that we missed her in bed last night and Ginger said she slept in Pepper’s room to give us the night, but now that the wedding night was over, it would be the...
Desert Heat – Part 25Thursday, August 16, 1985Jerry got home from work first. The first thing he did was ask Ginger and Pepper if we were a happy functional or sad dysfunctional threesome. Pepper held up her ring and smiled. Jerry kissed the two of them and congratulated them, then went to his room to change out of his work clothes. When he returned, he grabbed a couple beers and headed out to the grill. Handing me a beer, he congratulated me on being a happy threesome. I asked if he knew...
Desert Heat – Part 22Sunday, August 5, 1985Sunday morning, I roused just before 8am when I felt on of the girls getting out of bed. I rolled over, opened my eyes and saw one of them going into the bathroom. My first thing in the morning blurry focusing eyes couldn’t tell which one it was. I checked to see when one was still in bed with me and at first I still wasn’t sure. Ever since Pepper dyed her hair and matched Ginger’s hairstyle, there were times I found it found it difficult to tell...
Desert Heat – Part 21Saturday, Aug. 4, 1985We all must have been pretty tired after our time last night with Sherry because I was the first to wake up and it was nearly 9 am. I quietly made my way to the kitchen and started the pot of coffee. I slipped on pair of shorts and went out to get the newspaper. As soon as I was back inside, the shorts came off and replaced next to the door for tomorrow’s paper fetching. With the coffee ready, I poured a cup and sat down to read the newspaper. I...
Desert Heat – Part 20Friday, Aug 3, 1985After Ginger and I relaxed for a bit in the afternoon, it was time to start getting things ready for everyone to get home from work. I went to the kitchen and began seasoning the racks of ribs, then wrapped them in wet burlap and fired up the grill. I set the grill on the lowest setting, placed the wrapped ribs inside and closed the lid. Cooking them this way takes almost three hours which would make them ready just about the time Sherry was due. ...
Desert Heat – Part 18Wednesday – Thursday, Aug. 1-2, 1085We arrived home late, after 11:30pm. There was one light on and a note on the table telling us they were looking forward to seeing us tomorrow. Ginger and I were quite tried and decide to unpack the cold food only and get the rest in the morning. It was after midnight when we headed for bed and found Pepper sound asleep in our bed, waiting for us. I pulled Ginger from the room and suggested we let Pepper sleep. We headed over to...
Desert Heat – Part 16Saturday, July 20, 1985While the two girls left to pick up the young shoe clerk, we straightened up and then headed back to the bedrooms. Not long after, we heard the girls drive up and peeked out the bedroom window to see if they had the lad with them and yes, they did. Helen and Rosemary showed the teenager into the house and offered him a drink. He said he doesn’t drink alcohol but would be happy to have a soda. Rosemary asked him if he was hungry and wanted...
Desert Heat – Part 15We drove about 20 minutes when Jerry slowed down and pulled into a bar. From the outside, it didn’t look like much. The girls asked about the place and Jerry said that he came here a couple of times with some friends and that he thought it might give the girls an opportunity to do some flashing. They shrugged their shoulders and followed him inside. At first it looked like any other small bar and since it was early afternoon, there weren’t many people inside. The girls...
Desert Heat – Part 14Saturday morning I woke early like I do every day. When I went to bed, I was cuddled up behind Ginger and she was cuddled up behind Pepper, but that’s not the way we were positioned when I awoke. I was still cuddled up behind Ginger but Pepper was cuddled up behind me. The thought occurred to me that I was the piece of meat between two nice buns. As carefully as possible, I slid out from in between them and went to the bathroom. When I came out of the bathroom, I...
Desert Heat – Part 13Friday morning came and Ginger and I slept later than we anticipated. The other three had already left for work. We found a note saying that they let us sleep and looked forward to seeing us when they got home. Ginger poured some coffee and we grabbed a quick breakfast. I asked Ginger what she wanted to do today since the house was clean, the laundry and yard work done and we did our shopping the day before. She said that she would like to run out and try to find...
Desert Heat – Part 11Sunday morning I awoke to a set of lips on my cock and a breast in my face. Ginger and Pepper look so much alike except for their hair color that I couldn’t tell which breast was begging to be suckled and I wasn’t going to take the time to find out. I raised my lips and carefully placed them around the nipple staring back at me. Trying my best to suck like an infant feeding on a mother’s breast I carefully pulled the nipple in with rhythmic sucking motions. Whose ever...
Desert Heat – Pt 10As usual, I woke early on Saturday morning. Ginger and Jerry were still sleeping, so decided to go for a morning swim. I swam laps for about half an hour and then got out of the pool to relax and enjoy the quiet morning and get some reading done. About an hour later, Ginger comes dragging herself outside, looking like she had been run over by a truck. When she walked over to me, her gait looked like that of a duck. I asked her if she was doing okay and she said that...
Monday morning, Ginger and packed up in the company truck and hit the road for the hour and half drive to where they had me housed. We arrived, unpacked into the trailer and then headed out to set up all of the test equipment to start recording. We arrived back at the trailer about noon, grabbed some lunch and then I gave her a quick tour of the small desert town including the one and only grocery store and gas station. The town was so big that the tour took a whole 5 minutes, if that. That...
The reason I was out of touch for a while recently was because I was on holiday. I went, with some of my family, to a hotel on the Red Sea for a week. The others were content to laze round the hotel swimming-pool all day, but I don't think you go all the way to Egypt to do that, so I signed up for a few trips - visits to Cairo and Luxor, and a 'safari' into the mountains. The city visits were in air-conditioned buses, holding about 50 of us, but the safari was in a fairly ancient Land...
The Caravan master was somewhat reassured when he was shown into a palatial suite, most likely the only kind to be found in the Imperial Palace. Certainly there would be servant's quarters, but most servants wouldn't be ensconced within a suite of rooms, would they? The Caravan master wondered nervously to himself. He was bathed, perfumed, (he had really needed it, too- after being hustled day and night without cease from WhooWhee.) and clad in sumptuous robes. Then he had to await The...
Wong would get up a few hours before the rest, and pack up most of the goods, and prepare breakfast. If it was a public house, he would pack up everything except his masters sleeping arrangement and hit the road, trying to leave a few hours earlier than John and Zithrusa. He had to continue on without pause, and try to catch up to them before full darkness overtook him. There was just no way the camels could keep up the pace of the porters, but they were used to keeping on keeping on, so...
The exhausted caravan spent several days at the wadi, resting up, repairing equipment, beating the dust from fabric and re hydrating desiccated tissues. Luckily John had managed to keep the nursing mothers hydrated enough through the ordeal that none of them had their milk dry up. John put the giant spoked wheels back on the palanquin, turning it back into a carriage again, and made the front axle articulated, attaching it in the middle of the carriage only, and adding a pair of levers and a...
