Your name is Arthur Doe and you live alone in the big city. You moved out here a while for college looking forward to meeting new people, having new experiences and living you're life. Until the lockdown happened and you're classes moved online. You couldn't go outside, now you're stuck in this overpriced lockdown shelter you call an apartment.
The opportunity to chat with classmates ceased, most of them opting to get their classes over with quickly.
As soon as you heard about the upcoming "Neural-VR" headset, you jumped on the beta test. It's supposed to be the lightest headset by far while boasting a level of realism, the devs don't know about. Something about an AI, algorithmic, real time processor unit. It seemed like nonsense but you didn't care. It would be fun!
The launch title 'EverLive' is this MMO, life-sim, game set in a vast multiverse filed with different realms and settings. You could do anything, be anyone. Players can join and build on the world's economy. Buying property, land and businesses with money they found dungeon crawling.
Players can be a space pirate, traveling the astral sea boarding ships filled with rich aristocrats! Earn millions as a top investment broker. Or run a simply small shop in town, meeting all the guildies in need of equipment for their own adventures. The possibilities are endless!
The games boast's highly intelligent ai NPC's too. They're designed to react to player agency, actions and input into the world. The NPC's won't advance the world in any meaningful way but will fill in missing vacuums, by opening shops, selling businesses, even taking becoming the villains of the world.
This game has it all! "I can't wait!" You shout to yourself, giddily, scrolling through the reddit pages, getting hyped!
Today's the day the game is released. You've preinstalled it last night and following the tracking number, your headset should arrive shortly after 9am. You've no classes today and nothing else planned till Monday. An entire weekend to play video games? Heaven!
'Bzz, bzzzzzz," your door bell rings. You rush downstairs, covered in ppe you feel like you're already dressed for VR, with your tight gloves, overheating mask and a restriction in going near the delivery driver. No matter. Soon you'd escape this world. Be someone totally new!
Back upstairs, alone in your apartment you run through the setup. Very straightforward and soon you're launching the game.
The headset is more than just a headset. It uses wireless, neural link technology to send feedback responses into your brain, giving you very realistic illusions of touch.
All you need to do is lie down on your bed and launch the game. The anticipation growing. Who will you be, what will you do, see meet?!

There are a lot of dangers associated with a Nuclear Power Facility. Probably first and foremost is the danger of Radiation that might escape in some way from the containment units and there is also the standard dangers from dealing with high pressure steam systems and the electrical current that is generated by the transmission units connected to the electrical grid. Then there is the danger of sabotage and deliberate damage done that might create a problem with the internal workings of the...
Chapter 1 Late August in Winnisimmet was a tough time for kids. The weather was beautiful but school was just starting. For a group of seven, it was even tougher as they would start at a new school. Four were your average students, ones who flew below the radar and went unnoticed by most. Two were known to those in their grade as well as many of the students at their school through the family grapevine. One was starting over her school life as a whole new person among her peers letting...
Chapter 9 Mick Jones, Kennedy, Callum, and Quentin discussed the situation with the State Police's fugitive recovery unit. The warrant shown was photographed and by them for the record with it being checked out against active warrants. To their surprise, it didn't match up. In fact, the warrants were for armed robbery, assault, and attempted murder instead of the simple robbery as he had previously claimed. The group fought laughs as they were now known to be using fake warrants and...
My wife left me alone at the party with specific instructions. In less than five minutes time, I was hopelessly in trouble.I was politely mingling with the crowd, as instructed, which I rather enjoyed. Most of them had already paired off, had some fun, and were back looking for new partners. The women were at most scantily dressed, while some were completely nude. Most of them were aware of the instructions I had been given, and they were enjoying flirting with me as they sought the attention...
Fantasy & Sci-FiChapter 5 As Flora was enjoying the day with her new class, Fiona had an entirely different experience over at the middle school. She was introduced to her new teacher, Ms. Putnam, and told what they were doing in class and what to expect from everyone there. She was less than thrilled to tell Fiona that she was going to be assigned to be the new partner of the other new girl, Maisie Campbell, and that she didn't want either of them in her class at all but had to put up with...
This story was written as a serial on my Yahoo group over a period of several months. Trouble Comes to School By Morpheus Part 1 It was nearly an hour before school yet three figures huddled together behind the football bleachers of Kay Osterman High School. The three boys were alternately known as Geek Squad or the Nerd Patrol among the other students, but today they hoped that was about to change. Martin was the tallest of the three, though he was also the skinniest and...
I arrived to class early. I was always early- punctuality was something my parents had drummed into my head. Besides, I was looking forward to this class. I had been trying to get into a figure drawing class for two semesters, but they were always the first to fill up. My name’s Kyle Michaels. I’m an artist. Well, I’m a lot of things, but ‘artist’ is one of the first descriptors I think of when I define myself. Hmm, only a few people around so far. Today’s the first day of classes, so we’ll...
From the moment I first saw her, I instinctively knew Mary-Jayne was trouble. She can't help it, she exudes sex. When they first started dating, I wondered if my stepson worried about her dressing like she did. To call her attire daring is an understatement. And my wife, who is broad-minded, couldn't understand why her well-mannered, soft-hearted little boy, as she often refers to him, chose to marry someone who dressed like she was constantly on the prowl. On family vacations, Mary-Jayne wears...
WatersportsTrouble At Work As I walk to my boss's office I have the realization that I am probably in trouble. I have never been in his office other than during meetings and performance evaluations. I always keep a low profile and just do the assigned tasks as I am asked. As a matter of fact I do everything I can to not draw attention to myself because of my lifestyle. I don't need anyone in my office to know about the details of my sexual perversions so I remain quiet and...

Walking down the street clad in his signature Tax Collector gear Daniel scouts the parking lots for potential cars that could possibly take a sizeable chunk out of his debt to Mario. But this isn’t where the story starts off, it begins with Daniels’ childhood, the reasons he became what he is. Now sit down, spark a bowl and chill as I tell you this story of a young man with more troubles than a late eighties Thunderbird 5.0 and little time to deal with them. That strange, pungent scent...
During dinner dad asked how school was. Nervous that he may have found out,I said it was ok. I was having a little trouble it one class but nothing I can't handle. He said you just have to study harder and see if you can do extra work, I said I'm already looking into that. That's good he said and that was the end of the subject. After dinner and dodging a bullet I went to my room and dressed for bed. When I heard the shower running, I reached in my pants and stroked thinking about Billies was...
Was the second month of the school year and found myself in trouble again. Mrs. Black caught me day dreaming for the fifth time. She said she had no choice but to report me to the principal. I knew if she did that I'd be in serious trouble with my dad. He and my dad played golf together and I know he'd tell him. I begged Mrs. Black not to report me and I'd do anything she said if she wouldn't. She said she'd think about it. After class I asked her if she thought about it, she said yes,and I...

Troubled Youth By Miss Anonna It was an hour drive down to the river but I was ready to go with a cooler full of wine, towels, bathing suit and chair that makes lying in the sun so easy. When I turned onto River road I knew I’d be there half an hour from now and already my tight shorts were riding up my ass and I was getting antsy. About 10 minutes on the winding road I noticed an older SUV on the side with the flashers going and figured someone probably ran out of gas. The station was further...
Sarah simply wanted to snuggle with Hank, to hold him and embrace him. She was in an afterglow if there ever was one, and everything was mellow to her. Hank, on the other hand, seemed to be on a mission. He seemed determined to educate Sarah completely, possibly before she changed her mind. He was tender and gentle, but I could tell he wanted no part of any "afterglow" nonsense. I kept my mouth shut, for once. "Sarah," Hank said gently. "It's time for your next lesson in the wonders of...
she moaned and said "ya" he slapped her "ya? you better say yes sir,show some fucking respect"she weakly said "yes sir" and he let her head drop and continued belting her harder and harder each time.then he pushed her off and she fell to the floor as he got up and left.

Hi, my name is Donna. I am a twenty-two year old erotic dancer who recently moved into my first apartment. These apartments occupy separate buildings within the complex, sort of like town houses. There are two apartments per building. One is on the left, and the other is on the right. Each one has a small kitchen, a living and dining area, and bedrooms that abut each other. They are very clean, and in a nice area.On my first day, I met Robyn, the girl who lives next to me. She's of average...
VoyeurThe first chapter of a new story. I need a push to get it finished so I'm sharing it with you. Last time I did this is was a disaster so I am approaching it with a nixture of trepidation and determination. There is no feminisation in this chapter but I hope it tells you enough to know where the story is going. Trouble and Strife Chapter One "I've messed up Sis, really badly." Shelley was on the telephone to her sister, Marie, in Cornwall. "What have you done?" asked...
Trouble and Strife Chapter Five Over the next two weeks, Shelley managed to get Charlie into a pair of panties on eight separate occasions. But he never managed to get his penis into her vagina before ejaculating. Naturally, Shelley played the role of poor, hard done by girlfriend to perfection as she celebrated every small victory and her husband's ever-growing guilt. It was a Sunday evening, lying in bed together with Charlie's guilt at its highest when Shelley played the next...
Trouble in the cityBy Yokohama Joe, 2013This is pornography but definitely not erotic. Be charitable because English is not my native language.---Bamiji City is the capital of the small central African country of the same name, Bamiji, which is run under the thumb an an ex-military strongman whose regime is extraordinarily corrupt, kleptocratic, and repressive. Following a discreet coup in the early 1999s by a small group of middle-ranking military officers, which overthrew the country?s...

Tracy had lost a bet with her two best friends, Linda and Christina. She had lost these bets before, but never expected to have to do the dare she was about to do now. The bet was made a week earlier and since she lost, she was told that on Friday of this week, she would get the dare that she had to perform. She waited all week to find out what stupid little thing her girlfriends would have her do. Thoughts ran through her mind of past bets and dares and figured she would get through this one...
BDSMWho the daft fuckers are that write so badly, beats me. I can’t resist meddling with their crap work. Here’s another Joan Cocteau, a housewife and mother who loved her family was a 36 year old mother of three and married to the same man for fifteen years. Her husband, Peter, was 43 years old with a minor erectile problem for which he had medication. Peter was a great husband, loving, kind and still had the body of a 25 year old. He was 6’1, muscular and had a big penis. He was a junior...
It was raining that day, and my car had broken down, so I had to walk... I had been dressed up to go out that night, my little black dress, it is see through, so I wear a slip under it, black thong panties, a black shelf bra that pushed my tits up & together rather nicely, and my black fishnet stockings with a garter belt to hold them up. Yeah, I kinda looked like a slut, but I thought I was going out to a club, not walking down the street in the rain. Anyway, on way home, there was a small...
MORE SARAH Travis tried his best but he could not convince Kim to go on a date, even after her fourteenth birthday. Truthfully, I think she was a bit scared of his reputation, because by then, it was pretty common knowledge that he had high expectations of the girls he dated. After the sap run had concluded, he just didn't have that many opportunities to be with her casually, and she obviously was not seeking him out. That doesn't mean that he went without companionship. Far from it,...
Kim Eventually the celebrations concluded and the townspeople settled down to their normal routines. Travis and Sarah went to school and Julie and Hank did whatever they do all day to keep busy. Since they don't have regular office jobs, what they do is anyone's guess, except that they have a nice family dinner prepared each evening when the kids come home from school. Dinners are always sitting down at a table, as a family dinners, because both Julie and Hank believe that it builds a...
The next several weeks are almost a blur. Nothing was calm or slow or laid back; time flew by. We spent three days shopping for new clothes at the malls in Jefferson City. I found a family clinic to my satisfaction and approved the prescription for birth control for Sarah. Hank made arrangements for me to meet with his attorney and subsequently with a prominent divorce attorney who began the process of marriage dissolution on my behalf. Two days after the first meeting with the attorney, his...
The first thing to come to him is a groggy sense of awareness concerning his surroundings. The sanitary smell of an asylum coupled with the moans, groans, and screams of other patients. Still half medicated Daniel isn’t aware that five years have passed since the horrible incident with his parents, in fact Daniel isn’t quite sure of his name right now. Sitting up and trying to reach to his eyes and rub them Daniel soon realizes that he is in a straight jacket with his arms wrapped around to...
Daniel wakes surrounded by the stench of blood and vomit with the cold fluids pooling around his body. Awakening suddenly to the stench Daniel sits up and his world begins to spin as more bile builds up in his throat. Leaning forward as much as he can Daniel spews his stomach contents on the stained asphalt of the alleyway, blood and chunks of what can only be described as bone mixed in with what he last had to eat. Slowly standing to his feet and using a near dumpster to steady himself Daniel...
My name is Melissa. Ever since my marriage last year, my sex life has been difficult. My husband is serving in the military and since our honeymoon he has only been back home one time to fuck me. I am faithful to him. But I can't live like a nun. I need my kicks.So far I've been getting my kicks by masturbating while I think about other men fucking me. Or by getting on xHamster and looking at cocks and guys jacking off. Or by playing sex games with Holly – my girlfriend in town.I've decided...
Trisha, 28, is an absolutely gorgeous woman accented by her large, but perky 34dd bosom and ample posterior. Her strikingly natural red hair reaches to her waist, which fits perfect on her 5'8" toned frame. Alexis, 32, is a bit shorter than her younger sister, with respectable 32c breasts that curve slightly upward, and a cute little butt that fits her petite 5'5" frame beautifully. Unlike her sister, she has blonde, shoulder blade length hair that she typically ties back. John, 30, I will...

Hank drove us into the nearest town to check on the arrival of money for our new car. We went to the bank that I had told Scott about, but they had not received any money transfers for us. This was very disturbing to me, and made me more than a little upset. Using the bank's telephone, I called Scott in Arizona but he was in a meeting and could not be disturbed. The woman that answered my call adamantly refused to notify him that I was calling. I was furious. I thanked the bank for allowing...
There we sat, my two children, my new found lover and friend (and rescuer of my family from who knows what troubles), and myself, all sitting on the patio on a beautiful morning, sitting in silence, all reflecting upon the somewhat rambling monologue about the state of my emotions and marriage. How did I feel? I don't know. A combination of bitter, angry, and hurt that my husband, the man that I had given my everything to so many years ago had found it acceptable in his soul to take as his...
Leo's mother saw him sitting in the earth. Surrounded by pieces of pottery and uprooted flowers. She put her fists on her hips and looked with a bemused grin down. "What did my little troublemaker do now?" Before little Leo written words of light appeared. His chubby little hands reached out. Those lights looked pretty after all. "No. Don't! Not again!" Leo woke with a start. Another nightmare. Nothing new. He shook off the last remains of his dream. He didn't know how much of it...
She crouches and tends to the bonfire she has made to keep herself warm for the night, she was aware it wasn’t the smartest move to bring any attention to her location but she didn’t want to deal with the encroaching cold. The fire illuminates her soft features; her golden hair tied neatly in a bun, light blue eyes, and soft lips. She sighs and grabs her tummy, upset by the rumbling sound that had continued to bother her for hours. She has a thin frame and looks almost emaciated. Food is a...
Catherine focused her efforts on arranging the flowers she had placed on on the poolside table. The plates and silverware had already been set as well as the floral print linens that were carefully folded and presented. Her daughter, 21 year old Megan, was due to arrive in just a few minutes and with Catherine's husband away for the weekend, she was ready for a few days of catching up in the company of her only child. The two were best of friends although Megan's job as a flight attendant...
The last few months have been tough for Matt, working long days at work and being without a girlfriend for the last few months. Everything seemed to be going fine with Rachel but then one day he got the ‘It’s not you, it’s me’ line. Sure they could still be friends but she never did return any of Matt’s calls. He really missed Rachel. She was a little wild, unlike Matt, who was a bit conservative in manner and not very out-going. She always said he should take more risks and be more fun....

23 year old Daniel froze when he heard his very annoyed Mum say in her no nonsense tone “I told you to stop, you didn’t, so I am going to put you across my lap and give you a jolly hard spanking Daniel.” He looked aghast. “But Mum you agreed you wouldn’t if Francis’s Mum is here.” “I did not say anything of the sort Daniel. I did say so long as you behave you won’t get spanked. That is quite different.” Daniel had to agree. Well he hadn’t behaved. Dinner was going well, Francis was...
A unit of 100 was sent to a planet for research and exploration. It was labelled as a F critical danger, so it should have been an easy mission. But obviously it wasn't, as we start off with the two commanding officers arguing about 3 missing people. "We have been looking! They have tons of equipment to get back, something bad must have happened to them!" Ally would emphasize. "Exactly! They have tons of equipment! They said they would be out longer then normal anyways, they will get back...
Trouble’s A Song Three Can Play. If someone asked her in retrospect if she regretted that night, Tori would say no in a heartbeat.However, she still couldn’t, for the love of God herself, remember why she ever thought a sleepover with both Jade and Cat would allow her to remain the same.------------------------------The idea came from Cat - obviously - after their graduation party, using every trick she knew to convince her two best friends that a girls sleepover was all they needed that summer...
Billie ran her fingers down the crack of my butt and tapped on my hole. She whispered in my ear, stay just like that, I'll be right back. She jumped up and ran to the bathroom. When she came back she had a bottle of lotion and a towel. Billie asked if I was ready, I said yes. She crawled behind me and ran her tongue over my hole. She lapped hungrily at it till I had the same feeling as before. She rubbed some lotion on my hole then smacked my butt hard. The sting made me straighten up. She...
Billie wrapped her robe around me,pulling me tight against her beautiful body. I lowered my head and kissed her firm tits. She inhaled with a hissing sound. I kissed my way to her stiff nipple. Billie held my head in place like a mother would. I began sucking her nipple. As I nibbled and sucked I felt her chest move quicker as her breathing quickened. I felt billies hands move between us and my pants fell. I moaned in anticipation as she slid my underwear down. I looked up into her eyes as she...
The day finally ended and I headed to billies house. She wasn't there when I arrived so I went to the backyard and waited. As I sat it seemed like it was getting hotter so I stripped down and jumped in the pool. About thirty minutes later I seen her walk in the kitchen. I climbed out and knocked on the glass door. She turned and stared at me for a few seconds then opened the door. She asked what I was doing, I said it was hot while I waited for you,so I went for a swim. I watched her as she...
Rubbing my thumb around her crotch Billie started to moan. After a few minutes she sat up and said we need to talk. I was mesmerized by her beautiful tits. Firm,unblemished with pink nipples. She pulled her top up and grabbed her robe. I asked what it was I felt. She said we can never speak about this to anyone. I said I promised not to. Billie took my hand and said she was unhappy as a man, and made the transition from male to female a few years ago and never regretted it. She noticed the...
Seeing her smiled gave me some courage, leaving my hand on her ass,I asked if she wanted me to stop. She said no,but be careful you might start something we both know shouldn't happen. The image of her nude body and us having sex was almost unbearable. Snapping out of it I sprayed lotion on her other butt cheek and rubbed. Slipping my fingers under her swimsuit and rubbed. My fingers found the crack of her ass and I slid down. As I reached the bottom she flinched and said I had to stop it. I...

Oral SexOver the weekend, I considered my position. I took a long look at myself. At 30, I knew that I was not gorgeous, nothing special in that men generally don’t fall at my feet. I’m 5’ 8½ “, a good size 14, with long legs and powerful thighs, a high full ass that J’Lo and Beyonce managed to make the must have in a petit woman, my stomach is round and firm, my breasts full and heavy with what I think the Americans would call dime sized nipples, inky black. My face round with full high checks, a...
Chapter Two Charlie had his doubts but he couldn't deny that Shelley was trying to make amends for her affair. It had been a week since he had agreed to give her a second chance and he had enjoyed waking up to breakfast in bed every morning since. As he sipped at his orange juice he thought back over yesterday's conversation and the document that he had signed. Shelley had come into the room clutching two documents and asked if they could talk, naturally Charlie said yes. "I...
Chapter Three The next morning, wearing a clean and dry pair of jockey shorts, Charlie headed into the office where he was met by knowing looks from Simon and a hug from Beatrice. Beatrice was three years older than Charlie with a plump figure and an open, welcoming smile that spread all the way into her eyes. In her own way she loved both of the men she worked with but she found neither of them attractive. Preferring to gaze at the parade of young women that walked passed the...
I remember my first experience with bondage. It was at college, I was a big-breasted blonde virgin with a hot body and perfect teeth.No not really, but that’s how people always seem to start their stories. In truth I was about 21 and at college, but the virginity, no that’s a myth. And Jamie and Adam from Mythbusters, along with John Mckenzie could work together to very quickly bust that myth.I’d love to say that my first experience was awesome; I’d love to say it put me on a path I have...

Spanking“Chris, do you remember my friend Hillary?” Becky called to me from the kitchen.“The one with the nice arse,” I replied, raising my voice above its natural level, so I could be heard from across large open plan living area, where I was just packing my case for work. The comment was a throwaway one, and I didn’t need to turn around to sense the frown forming of on my wife’s face. It was one of the gifts of long-time husbands, that we can always sense our wife’s displeasure. “Not the time...
FemdomMatt had no reason to feel particularly proud of his 'accomplishment.' All he had done was put an extension on the browser of a public library computer that collects passwords and forwards them to his email, but it still felt rather thrilling to suddenly have such intimate access to other people's lives. He wasn't sure what would come of it, or if he would even do anything with the information. One particularly boring night, he decides to pop into one of the dozens of accounts he had managed to...
TranssexualIntroduction Chapter 1 TRAVIS I continued to date Kim for the remainder of the school year, always accompanied by another couple. Kim insisted, from our first date, that this would be a requirement in order to protect her reputation from being thought of as just another of the girls that had slept with me. Kim made it very clear that she was not ready or willing to have sex with me, or with anyone for that matter, and made me promise to respect her wishes. You don't have any idea how...
The tables had been pushed against two walls in one of the larger meeting rooms, and they'd been loaded up with snacks and a variety of soft and alcoholic drinks. On one of them a large cake sat in the middle, with the logo of the company emblazoned across it in colorful icing. About forty employees mixed and chatted amiably – these late afternoon office parties were laid on by the management once every few months, and all of the staff members who'd more recently joined considered them to be...
