The Catalina Variation (This event takes place over a period of 7 years or more, almost 30 years ago during my free living days. I have condensed the storyline taking my cue from events that were essential or as best as I can remember.)

We met over 20 years ago, at a local chess club, it was a small and we don’t remember much of what was said except that we played a few skittles...
With a flip a switch, 4 bright florescent lights flickered to life, drowning out the single bulb that has been casting a weak light over the room. A girl in a cage set in the corner of the room turned her head away from the brightness. He walked over to the cage, there was no need for a lock. The girl crawled out, the stiffness in her movements evidence of the hours spent in the small cage. No words were spoken, she knew what was expected of her. On all fours, eyes downcast, she waited. Hooking...

AnalCossack Vissily Volkov stood at the mouth of his tent, looking out at the wide, inhospitable terrain of the Russian steppe. The wind played gently with his long, dark hair as his grim features stared at the open country, the cool of the evening flowing over his semi-naked body. It had been a hard ride, the last few days, but perhaps now they were out of the reaches of the Imperial troops that had been chasing them. As he studied the terrain, he wondered when, or even if, he would see commander...
“Quickly, Gil, we’re about to land,” the sexy, young brunette sitting next to me on the plane purred in to my ear as she picked up the pace of stroking my cock. ~ We had met in the Toronto International Airport, while waiting to board our plane. I was seated at a table, replying to emails on my phone, when a young, sexy brunette tripped and fell on me. She gave out a short yelp and wrapped her arms around my shoulders to keep from falling on the floor. She immediately laughed once she...

We flew into Barcelona on the 26th May. We had booked a week at a hotel at Tossa del Mar, a small coastal village about 25 miles to the north of the city. A car from the hotel met us at the airport and as we drove along the coast road I understood why the area was called 'The Costa Brava', The Rugged Coast. Tossa del Mar had escaped the over-development suffered by other coastal villages as it did not have the large beaches of the Costa Blanca or Costa del Sol. Instead, the small secluded...

xmoviesforyouJack 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...

We've known each other for a couple of months now and even hung out numerous times, but you don't know my secret. You're so sweet, the perfect gentleman. I hope that revealing my secret to you doesn't change your opinion of me; that I'm your perfect girl.

You see, I'm also that girl that guys dream about when they're alone. The one who everyone...

It all began six months ago. I had been without a job for over a year and I was flat broke. I was staying with a couple of friends who had been letting me stay with them rent free. They began putting pressure on me to get a job, telling me that if I didn’t have one soon I would have to go. I had no luck in finding a job and was really worried about finding a place to stay. I decided to call several old friends to see if one of them would let me stay with them for a few weeks. Being out of work...

xmoviesforyouMe costó un poco de esfuerzo y tres azotes más conseguir que me dijera el nombre de su compañera de trabajo, la propietaria de la regla con la que me estaba dejando el culo rojo, pero valía la pena. Sabía que durante mucho tiempo, recordaría aquella sesión y agradecería a Aurora el haberse dejado la regla olvidada el viernes encima de la mesa. Le conocía de Internet. Habíamos chateado varias veces y un par de encuentros a tomar unas cañas habían despejado mis miedos sobre si sería un asesino o...
In Britain, we often experience several different season’s weather in a day. One minute there’s glorious spring sunshine — then, before you realise, the heavens have opened and there’s rain or even hail, sleet, and snow. These changes move rapidly on the wind and showers can pass within minutes, leaving the sun to burst through the clouds and we’re back in warm sunshine.A typical weather phenomenon in spring is a sudden April shower and we have a saying: ‘March winds and April showers bring...

Our mother was seated on the chair across from the couch. Her nursing uniform was lying over the back of the chair. A small throw blanket covered her form from my view. I decided to try to creep past the chair my bladder once more asserting control. The chair was sitting such a way to where you had to go by it to enter the hall. The bathroom nightlight was on in the early predawn I could just make out the mirror in the bathroom. Just as I reached the bathroom slipping in an airplane flew...
*************** "So, how much did you like that?" Amy leaned in and whispered in my ear. "I have no idea what has gotten in to me, but I have to admit that I like it." "I have to admit that it was different. Now, as for you, I am loving this new you. I never knew you had a dominant side." "I know! I must say that it surprised me… but I liked it. I may just want to keep this up once in awhile." Michele walked around the couch and put her arms around Amy and said "If...
Adjusting my skirt, I settle myself on the wooden park bench, the early July sun a gentle glow on my back -- and a matching glow of excitement quickly building in my tummy. She's here again... Casually as I can manage, I allow my eyes to drift over to where she now stands, this slim, boyish young blonde of around twelve or thirteen who idly watches a small boy as he mounts the stairs to the top of the slide. Her arms and legs are delightfully bare, and she wears open-toed sandals. No breasts...

“I’m sorry Toman in almost all cases it is true that ghosts cannot exist on this plain. In certain cases when a death is so horrific and quick the essence of a person can latch on to another. In this case it was father. I thank you father for holding us as long as you have. I know it has taken a supreme effort on your part.” “We?” I almost shouted. “What in the hell do you mean we?” Even as I watched another weaker apparition appeared. “NO!” I almost screamed as I took off running. I felt...

Joseph walked into his favorite diner, pancakes on his mind. He sat at the bar and motioned to the server that he was ready. “The usual!” She smiled and nodded.

After a moment, the bar returned to normal but Joseph couldn’t take his eyes off her. Beautiful dark hair, porcelain skin, voluptuous curves and clearly not afraid to...

My thoughts were put on hold when I pulled into the driveway of the two story frame house that would always be part of my memory of my dad. I had grown up here and I had nothing but fond memories of my childhood. Mom and dad were the center of my universe and they were always there for me. I learned early on growing up that it was always best to confide in them with anything that bothered me. They seemed to be full of good advice and could make the best of times better and the worst of times...
Now my girl by no means is a blonde bombshell or a supermodel and I will never admit that to anyone but she is a very gorgeous brunette. She is 5-4; 115 pounds, a nice set of C size tits, and an ass that is a little on the smaller size but just the perfect size for me. On that four day we had just gotten up and once again I had a rock hard cock because she still won’t do anything but make out with me.

April 17th, 2047 “The reception was absolute torture,” I said while the cameras filmed the interview, streaming it live to the world.

It was so hard to think about my promise when I knew she was close to me.” “I bet it was,” Adelia said, the talk show host interviewing me. She had such a naughty...

‘Have you been listening again?’ She asks me. I can’t lie, she can read my mind. She has read every thought that I’ve ever had and she didn’t think much to them. She thought I wouldn’t make much of a novel. ‘Yes. Yes I have.’ ‘Alex, I told you not to listen to the alien radio,’ she says. ‘Yeah, but…’ I would come up with an excuse but there really isn’t much point, she’d know I’m lying. I used to try and trick her with my lies. It was like a game with one winner and it wasn’t me. But that...

She hooked her thumbs on the material and pushed the form-fitting suit down her legs to the floor, leaving on her skin...

I stepped through the door and watched her walk down the hall, her naked hips swaying in time with her long legs. I stood there a moment longer savoring the view of my mother's gorgeous body, then headed for the shower.

I felt very comfortable being seen with my mother, anytime. She was that kind of woman: classy,...
