Rigby brought home his second report card in early December. The first one had been five B’s and one A, in PE. His parents said that was fine, good, satisfactory, but they would like to see some more A’s. Rigby said he would try.
His report card for the second marking period was, he knew, going to cause trouble. He had received a C in math and a C in English plus three B’s and another A in PE. On his way home, he spent his time creating explanations and excuses. He even thought of losing it. He put the folded report on his dresser and did his paper route and then, after supper, he gave it to his father who was reading the paper and smoking his pipe.
Before the war, his father had smoked Lucky Strike cig arettes, the famous brand now in a white package and advertising that its green had gone to war. All the popular brands such as Chesterfields and Camels were seldom in the drug or grocery stores and people lined up to buy two packs at a time when they were delivered. The boy’s father had tried other kinds of cigarettes, had even rolled his own for a while and then gone back to smoking a pipe, which he had done in college. His mother seldom smoked but favored long Pall Malls when she did. Rigby had tried smoking, but it made him feel dizzy.
His father put down his paper, unfolded the report, frowned, read it again, put his pipe aside and then looked up at the boy. “Well?” he said, glasses low on his nose and eyebrows raised.
Rigby sniffed and cleared his throat, standing before his father’s chair, hands behind his back. “I’m having trouble in math. It’s finding unknowns mostly, that and proofs. Lot of people are doing worse than I am. And in English its mainly the weekly spelling tests. Oh, and one paper I kind of forgot about.”
“You’re starting algebra, eh. Well, I think I can help you with that, show you some things, ways of solving problems, that kind of thing. I can check over your homework if that’ll help.”
Rigby nodded.
“As for the other, well, I think that’s just working harder, studying more, getting things in on time. Maybe you’ll have to quit the basketball team.”
“Right, I can do that, work harder. Honest. You’ll see.”
“I’d better,” his father said, handing back the report. “Go on, show your mother. She’s going to be very unhappy.”
The boy nodded. “I know.”
She was.
Introduction: This is a long story so if you dont want to spend a lot of time reading dont read it. Please rate and comment! The more dirty the comments the better! As I sat out in the chair in our room, I couldnt help but wonder what my wife had in mind for the night. This was the one and only night that she was in charge of the plans and she had been her usual stubborn self every time I tried to pry for information. Needless to say I was a little excited for whatever her big plans for the...
As Halloween approached in 1960 I was a sophomore in high school in a small midwestern USA town and very shy being only five feet five inches tall and a continuous victim of bulles so had no confidence with girls. Oh thanks to my best friend Burt RIP and Not my parents who couldn,t even be bothered to tell me about sex and how easy a boy could get in trouble if he got into a girls panties then I knew what to do and what to do it with, but could never see myself even asking a girl for a date....

My sister Emma thinks she can just flirt with me and I am not gonna do anything about it. Emma is always running around the house half-naked, she knows exactly what she is doing to me… I had enough. I catch my sister in the bathroom when I corner her, I tell her today I am gonna get my way. I truly treat my sister Emma like a fuck doll, pushing her against the wall and having my way with her. I fuck her tight pussy so hard, she can’t believe what is happening right now. I make her...
xmoviesforyouI was on the swim team my senior year in high school. I know what your thinking ‘speedo’s eeewww’ but that also means 3-4 hour long swim meets, with maybe 15 min tops in the water. That is a lot of time to view the scenery around you…. Any way in my Catholic high school we had a lot of away meets in places that were a one to two hour bus rides away. After being surrounded by bathing suit clad females for hours and then cramping all us into buses together, you have a lot of potential for sin. It...
The true story of Hannah's PantiesBeing 18 years old meant I spent A LOT of time watching porn, during this I'd gained a kink for underwear. at 18, id got my hands on 2/3 pairs of new panties. I loved them, however as you can imagine, they weren't clean and new for very long. I needed some more.My mum and dad had been split up for over a decade, my dad had since married. From a young age, I used to spend 50% of my time at my dads, however as I got older it was every other weekend. When I did...
Hi, this is the story of my parents having a passionate morning. My mom’s name is Kavita she is 45 years old but looks younger like she is her late 30’s, she has maintained a very hot body of 36-30-36.

Susan felt very guilty, and rightly so, she thought. She had lied outright to Victor who had been so good to her, and with whom she was to all intents and purposes living. It was a heavy weight on her conscience. She resolved to go back that evening and confess everything. However, when she arrived home with the children from Gail’s nursery that evening, there was the note. He was gone beyond her reach and she could not put things right. She looked again at the note. Not, ‘Dearest Susan’ and...
For the fourth time in the same day, I woke up from sleep induced by forging a bond. I wasn’t alone this time either, though the company wasn’t expected exactly. Linda leaned over me. “How are you feeling?” I blinked at her and stretched. “Rested.” She smiled. “I heard you’ve been busy.” I nodded. “Yes, but I’m also ready to end the Lockdown. I have everything I need, and everyone who is going to help is bound to me so they’re free to use their powers too.” “Everything in only two days?”...
With the holiday theme in mind I can only say it truly is ‘a wonder life.’ Today is Thursday morning 12/18/14, the 4th day of me being on a mission for my second baby. Ken and I are doing the work well, very well. I’m getting into counting now. This morning was the 11th episode of ‘The Overdose’. It has come to the point where I can’t hold any more. I’m leaving a goo stain everyplace I sit. So I’m back on the tampon, if only to plug the leak. The producers have also extended the series,...
Jason sat on the bed with Brianna, a lump in his throat. "What is it," she said, "you are really freaking me out." Jason fumbled his words, straining to maintain eye contact as he looked into her deep beautiful blue eyes. "I'm not sure how to tell you this really so I guess I will just come out and say it." The irony of his choice of words was not lost on him. Five years earlier Brianna's name was Bryan and she came out to Jason telling him her plan to transition to a woman. "I've been your...
TransJim thought the time had come to reveal what he really had in store for those two naked girls. "Guys, help them on their feet," he ordered and looked at his mates who stood closest to the girls. Those boys immediately did what Jim asked from them. They first pulled Sandra off of Melinda and helped her on her feet and then did the same with Melinda. Jim looked at them and noticed that Melinda stood unsteady on her feet. It seemed like the orgasm she had received from Sandra had taken away...
I walk through the door after a long day of work. I sit back on my couch and start flipping through the channels. After I found that there was absolutley nothing on, I decide to take shower. After I get out of the shower I look in the mirror. I'm 17 and of average build, strong but not ripped. About 5'10". Blonde hair down to my Hazel eyes. I dry off throw on some shorts and a tee shirt, and go to put my sweaty work clothes into the laundry. Well in the basement is a our laundry room,and it is...
IncestMom doesn’t drive so she relies on our neighbors to take her places. They are 3 older brothers, Jim, Robert and Paul. Their probably in their 50’s and each has his own car or truck and they all live together. She usually goes shopping two or three times a week and they are always glad to help. They live across the road from us near a lake where I go fishing. One Sunday, me and my best friend Terrance went fishing at the lake. When we got our lines in the water, Terrance pulled out a porn...
When I got to the bookstore, everyone was in a tailspin. Liz and Brian looked fearful and wouldn't answer when I said good morning to them; they just stocked the mysteries as if their life depended on it. Pauline was white as paper while she worked the register; her usually cheery lips in a grim line. And Sue, who spent six hours out of eight talking to her boyfriend on the phone, was studiously doing inventory in the children's section. I wondered if the weirdness had anything to do with the...
ReluctanceWith only a couple of days left before we left for Richmond, there were a lot of things we had to iron out before our departure. The division of labour was easy, Manny attacked the logistical aspects of the work that would be done in our absence, sorting out assignments and staffing for the jobs which were already on the books and freeing up assets for any work that would come our way while we were gone. Our secretary, Karen Wilde, would relocate to temporary premises with the rest of the...
and was thinking of how miserable she had been recently. With work and with her private life. She didn't have anything exciting happen to her, around her, or near her. The only excitement she had had recently was sending some very revealing photos to an adult web site that she had recently stumbled upon. And some to a gent that she had meet on the same site. So far he seemed a decent enough guy, lived across the pond, but seemed okay besides that. He had showed an interest before...
Note; Read Molly and Me for the first part of this story. So my girlfriend Molly and I had just finished fucking when we head the rumblings of motorcycles. It came from the big parking lot. Molly is my DD girlfriend who together with her friends, Cathy in particular, like to go to bars, strut their stuff, get free drinks and then bail out on the now excited guys in the bar. Molly would call me and then I would go and pick up her and if her partner, usually the aforementioned Cathy,...
Savannah and her husband had been married for twenty years. They always had a great sex life, but for the past few years her husband suffered with erectile dysfunction. This put a damper in their sex life and left Savannah aching to be pleased sexually.He pleased her orally, but she just wished to have marathon sex sessions. She begged her husband to get Viagra. Sometimes he’d get it, but not all the time. When he did take the pills, their sex life was amazing. However, he didn't get them that...
Monster SexI travel a lot for work to keep my gorgeous wife in her nice suburban country home. After all, this 45 year old petite woman is downright gorgeous with a movie star face and a great body, she is a real trophy but she is somewhat sexually inhibited. After all, she is churchgoing President of the local school PTA. This all changed one day in August when my limo driver dropped me off. I saw a customized motorcycle in the driveway, it was the kind a biker would drive with a skull and crossbones...
After school, the siblings were once again sitting in front of the television, doing their homework. When their mother said she had to run to the store, they took the opportunity to continue their private discussion. "I think I have an idea," Seth told his sister. "What?" Sarah asked eagerly. "What if we set up a concealed video camera in here, pointed so that we can see the couch and the door. Then tomorrow, you can tell me what you saw and heard, and we can compare it to what we...
Shortly thereafter my uncle announced it was time for bed. As he rose from his chair, he said, "I will be in contact." As an afterthought he had taken two keys from his pocket and told me they were for Lisa's collar and the drawer holding the control mechanism. He suggested I keep it secure on my person to avoid "anyone's wayward temptations". Then taking Lisa by the hand he led the lovely maid off to another wing. I sat by myself, watching the fire slowly die and considered the...
If you have ever transferred into a college, far from home, you know what it was like for me in my junior year at Rowan College. Anyway, I was sitting on my dorm bed, looking at the big pile of Chad's crap on the bed across from me, and contemplating his last words ("don't touch my shit there, studmuffin.") and the difference in our size (about two hundred pounds). I desperately wanted to take a leak on Chad's stuff, set it on fire and just leave forever. Both brave and cowardly in...

“Miss Roberts, in what other sports do you participate?” I smiled slightly. “I’m a runner and I participate in martial arts like judo and Kung Fu.” Prince Asshole said, “That’s why dealing with the guy at the restaurant and with me earlier was easy?” He put a questioning sound into his voice. “That’s correct. The biggest issue was trying not to hurt either of you badly.” He smiled. “Thank you. I was afraid that was true.” As the game went on, the Prince expressed his interest and helped...
Harry can feel himself smile reassuringly, "How can I help?"Cho's heart skips a beat as she sees Harry's smile, one so loving, so compassionate, so unlike the bastard who had made her publicly humiliate herself. "I was wondering if you would mind me not sleeping with you tonight."Harry chuckles and says, "Tonks talk got through huh?"Surprisingly, Cho doesn't take offence at Harry's laughter nor his question. "To a degree, at the minimum it got me thinking. I need to process this more...
"You're not really going to make us play golf?" whined Sara Monday afternoon as I teed up at the first hole. "Wouldn't you rather put it in the hole?" said Laura. "We want to see your wood," Tiffany said, rubbing up against me and briefly grabbing my dick. I firmly but gently pushed her away. "We have a practice competition against the Crawdad boys in two weeks. You're expected to win." "The boys?" complained Sara. "That's not fair." "You need to be ready in two...
I have never been out of the country this was my first time. I went with my lesbian girlfriend we've been together for a few years now. Truth is I have cheated on her a couple of times. With Men. Got pregnant twice. The problem is I hate for a man to pull out and at that point he can't because.... well let me tell you what happen last month when we went to Jamaica. I admit I have a big ass and big tits but a small waist and i'm not that tall but average. My girlfriend is used to guys...
I remember when she told me the news. She had been having problems. After her visit to the doctor he had required her to take some tests. Then came the specialist. I was in the car having just left work to see her home. Her shoulders were drooping and her walk told me volumes. As she sat down next to me she broke down and began to cry. I leaned over, holding her to me, kissing her cheek. "It will be okay honey. We'll get through whatever it is. You're strong and I am here for you. We'll...
I had to stop talking to Dom. It was difficult but necessary. He could make me do things and I knew I shouldn’t send him any more pictures of my red ass after spanking it for him. It didn’t matter as other men continued to message me on the board. Some were not worth replying to but others peaked my interest. I named my favorite “The Player”. He was different than Dom. He seemed to like me more. But he is so rational! So logical. His first few messages sounded a familiar tone:...
Adam Sanders sat slumped behind his cluttered desk. His eyes were bloodshot, his breath stank like a sewer. His clothes were wrinkled and soiled. If he hadn’t routinely cut his hair in a buzz cut it would be long and stringy. As it was he was in need of a trim and a wash. He had also not shaved in three weeks which added to his severely unkempt appearance. The stench of his unwashed body was noticeable as far away as the guest chair in front of his desk. Occasionally one of his employees would...
The Undercover Detective Chapter 1 21st May I knew that this was as good as it was going to get. Looking back at me, in the mirror wasn't the most convincing looking woman I had ever seen, but it was the best I could do. The face looked a little bit clownish. Despite Kate's tuition, my skills at eye make up were still rudimentary. It couldn't be helped. My legs weren't too bad, the hold up stockings looked OK now that my legs were shaved. The sling backs, that I was wearing, had a...
A Different Kind of TV Star It was late in the evening when Johnny awoke. He found Sandi and Mary staring down at him. Both of the women had discovered the mistake made which resulted in Johnny receiving permanent makeup. Mary had already explained to Sandi that the procedures were irreversible. While Johnny was still sleeping, Sandi had cut his hair evenly giving him a sexy shoulder length do. Sandi had asked Mary about the dangers of cutting his hair. Mary looked at the sleeping...
For a little bit of back ground I will say that dad left, when I was six years old and s*s was four years old, which mom then had to go to work to suport the three of us, s*s, mom, and myself.With the job that mom was able to get, we wasn't able to keep the house we were living in when mom and dad divorced, so we had to move out to a house that a friend of ours had, as long as we kept and eye on things around the place, which put us out in the country about three miles out from town. What I...
a story of the three times my mother-in-law and I "accidentally" let the other see them undressing or naked. After these happened it was all I could think about, and when I thought about it my cock got hard. Remembering back to the sixties and seventies, television and movies were quite tame. No nudity and hardly a hint about sex. A young guy took whatever glimpse of female nudity he could get. So when I saw my mother-in-law naked, it really turned me on. Partly because this was a naked woman,...

"Want to meet me for lunch?" It was Sarah, my ex, calling me at work. Her voice was casual but I immediately knew what was up. Every few weeks she'd call me out of the blue like this. It took that long to miss me, I guess. But that was okay. Every time she called we'd hook up for some phenomenal sex. It seemed like each time was better than the time before. We got wilder and more uninhibited each time. I was still avoiding the lingerie store in the mall after our last escapade. This was running...
ExhibitionismI went home and took another quick shower. I began uploading the pictures we took today onto my computer. The piece of paper with Kala’s phone number on it was right in front of me on my desk. I picked up the phone but before I dialed I tried to remember everything Cass told me earlier. I reminded myself that Kala is just a person and that she’s probably nervous, too. I picked up the phone and dialed the number she gave Kyle. Her phone started ringing and my nervousness seemed to increase...
The First Encounter Over the years I have had some wild encounters with my pantyhose fetish. Some of them end in embarrassment and others with much wilder endings. Over time I would like to share with you some of these stories. The one to follow is one that sticks out in my mind a lot. In my mid thirties I was working as a maintenance man in an apartment complex. These apartments were in an upscale neighborhood with over 250 units. Because of its size, the odds of finding a few lady's that...
FRIDAY MARCH-11 No bowling and no Foxtel commitments meant an opportunity to put in an appearance at the Friday night party. Well it was an orgy really. Oh there was beer, slightly harder drinks, soft drinks and some food and music and dancing, but in reality we were there for the sex. Not that the sex was simply slam-bam-thank-you-ma'am fucking, not at one of our parties. No, it was the whole beautiful thing. First there was the undressing of your partner, or partners fully or partially....
Spring of the Seventh Year of His Grace King James Music filled the air. Kasia snuggled back into her chair, watching the impromptu party down below. The tavern's second floor patio had a good view of the plaza and street, with the advantage of being well out of the way of drunken revelers. You could also enjoy the music. Another group of musicians were starting up, a fast number her foot could not help but tap along to. She loved Dyngus Day. Kasia couldn't remember if the day after...
I'm not sure how my life got so out of control or why it went on for so long but I'm glad it's over. It started off innocently enough, I guess, but soon not only my sanity, but also my marriage was ruined. Thai was my nephew, actually my husband's nephew, but I'd known him since he was nine-years-old and saw him fairly often. In the beginning I thought he was simply rude and obnoxious and didn't really like being around him much because of his smart mouth. He had something to say about...
My Master’s home is a rustic cabin and accompanying compound, it is modeled after the old-style log cabins but it is much larger and of course very modern. ‘The cabin’, as everyone calls it, is open concept, the kitchen area is delineated by a long island and snack bar. There is a huge bathroom that he added on just before my arrival and then a year ago he added a second floor loft with bedrooms. Until the second story was added the only bedroom was right in the central room on a raised dais,...
The weekend was crazy from Saturday morning on. There was a lot of work to do after the last two weeks. Each college contract resulted in a separate loan to Mid-West bank for the equipment from East Coast Security. It took two hours to sign all the paperwork. Jeanna and both her secretaries were there to make sure all the T's were crossed and I's were dotted. The same issue was there for East Coast. There were 6 more contracts to sign. Luckily each contract had been coordinated with the...
So, here's more stuff that happened while Ms K was staying with me.Like I said before, she was supposed to just pop in every day and make sure I wasn't setting the house on fire or whatever. But, instead, and totally to my delight, Ms K just kinda moved into my house and did sex stuff to me for five days!This was, ummmm, the 4th day, I think? Anyway, she was all distracted and into her phone instead of spanking me or sitting on my face or all the other things she was doing to me before. I was...
We are 4 members in our family. My elder sister is married to a Marine Engineer and stays at Mumbai with her husband. My mother is a house wife. She is very innocent and family loving lady. And my father who is around 49yrs old is a retired Army Officer. He is a tall, giant man with great physique. He is almost 6’2” tall, strong body with a long huge moustache and above all he is very handsome. From his figure one can’t guess his age. He is a much disciplined man and no body had courage to...
IncestSteve Ah, Friday morning, the close of a busy, crazy week. As I slipped out of bed, Sue's eyes came open and she smiled at me. I figured she would sleep a few more minutes, so I used the bathroom, put on some shorts and a T-shirt, and went out to the kitchen to start a pot of coffee. When I went out to the patio to see if the big pot was done, I turned the lights on, which is the signal. I heard Glenda's screen door slam and soon saw her coming across the grass in her morning robe...
My Girlfriend's Mom Shrieked.............This is the story of a teen who suddenly becomes aware of the allure of his girlfriends mom. Of a boy/man who struggles with the feelings this woman ignites within him. And what about his girlfriend's dad, a man who's always treated him like a son? And why does this inexperienced lad become so excited at the thought of taking another man's wife?1 -- 3:18 p.m. May 27th 2008"Tommeeeee!" my girlfriend's mom shrieked as I lifted her high up into the air. But...
Eli had Kady pressed up against the wall of her bedroom. At first he kissed her lips gently and methodically, as if mapping them. He nibbled her bottom lip, encouraging her to give into him. As she let his tongue meet hers, she could feel the icy heat in her veins spread as her body responded to the slow torture. She pressed against him, becoming needy for something to work her closer to the pleasure she knew she’d find with him. He had one hand pressed firmly against her hip and the other...
Dexter looked down at the map and then around at the parking lot. The trail clearly started from this parking lot. It took him a moment to spot the sign denoting the trail head. Supposedly, the trail went straight to a small pond, and then around it. The trail was listed as being three and a half miles in length, and of ‘moderate’ difficulty. He figured that a short hike like that would be simple enough. Pointing to the trail head, Dexter said, “There it is.” The sign had the trail name on...
Last week I took a quick peek on Craigslist just for fun. I found a post by a young guy who just moved to Kamloops to attend TRU looking for a masturbation friend. He stated he was looking for either a male or female to masturbate with and that he was open to a little more if things were right.I had never responded to anything like this before, but I was horny and really curious. My sex life has been great and am almost entirely with women at this point; I have a regular little hottie that i...
Movement has been my life. Even as a young boy, all I wanted to do was to jump around, to leap, to express myself with my body. So it was natural that my parents enrolled me for dance lessons. I was one of few boys among a lot of girls. And as I matured, my rarity became even more pronounced. I was straight, in a calling that attracts many gay men. Sort of an ugly duckling I suppose. It’s just that I like women’s bodies, their curves, and the flirtatious way they interact with men. I...
ExhibitionismVal and I were enjoying dinner in the hotel restaurant following an afternoon relaxing on the beach. We’d been together for almost ten years, and she looked just as beautiful as on the day we’d met, with her shoulder-length wavy brown hair and dark brown eyes. She smiled at me as we finished the starter, with a cheeky grin telling me she was in the mood for sex. I smiled back and winked at her. That was our code, and even though we’d been having a bit of a rocky time in recent months, when we...
Wife LoversSex Trek: Voyeur (A Sexual Parody of Star Trek Voyager) by Miss Swallows.com (The names have been changed slightly for copyright infringement avoidance.) ================================================== Captains Log Star date 9801.01 It has been several years since we’ve made our trek back home to the Alpha Quadrant.

The morning after the night before was not nice, but copious amounts of water and painkillers helped, along with several cups of coffee. All three gathered in Stan’s kitchen, listlessly going through the motions of making breakfast. Finally, Stan said ‘Hey, we ought to go to Iorio’s for breakfast. Getting out of the house would do us good, anyway.’ ‘I never thought I’d hear you advocating fresh air, Stan!’ grumbled Anne, though she had a slight smile on her face. ‘He’s probably right,...
In 2008 I was leading an exciting double life. On the one hand I was a mild-mannered professional with a good job, house and fantastic circle of friends but on the other hand I was this sex enthused guy whose sole desire was to fuck as many sexy girls as possible. I was single, happy and did not care to get into any sort of relationship, partly because I had not found anyone serious in 4 years and I had been through some tough times in the last year. In addition, I had been unlucky in love and...
Author’s note and acknowledgements This story has sat on my hard drive for four years now. I wrote it, all twenty chapters and 95,000 words of it in eight days of a frenzied, near trance-like state, sitting on my couch with my wife’s laptop. She would occasionally have to remind me to eat. When the dust settled, and I looked up, I realized a couple of things: one, I had just written a fucking novel in a week, whoa. Two, it seemed to be pretty damn good, double whoa. And three, what the...
