It all started when I wanted to go to New York with my friend.
It was the 4th of July and my best friend Jake asked me to go to New York with him and his mom. My parents we obviously not all for it see how Jake's mom is a heavy pot user. They told me I could go only if I took my little brother. I say little but in fact he is only a year younger than me. At 18 he is what kids at school would call a nerd. However I had to convince Greg (my brother ) to go with me. What happens next just blew my mind.
I knocked on his door. I heard some commotion like chairs falling or a book slamming closed. Wanting to know what it was I just walked right in an to my surprise Greg was standing there in only his boxers. I quickly excused my self and left to my room.
About twenty minutes later Greg came knocking on my door. " Tina", he said," Sorry about that I was changing for supper when you knocked". . "what did you need", he asked? I paused and began to explain my problem. After I was done he told me that he would only do it on one condition. I was agreed and when asked he said ,"ill tell you later". We then raced down the hallway to dinner.
At dinner Greg never spoke a word. He just ate and looked at his plate. When dinner was done Mom told us to wash the dishes , I was to wash Greg was to dry.
We walked in the kitchen and I started the was water.
"Greg", I said," What is this condition you have to go with me to New York". He explained that he couldn't tell me He had to show me. I told him when he is ready let me know.
I lay there awake in bed. It is 12:30 am and all I could think about was going to New York with Jake. See the big reason to go was that Jake and I had plans to finally fuck each other when ever we could. I at 19, even though I could consider my self hot has never umm well had sex. I started to drift off to sleep when I heard a knock on my door.
I didn’t have time to answer when Jake barged in. I was shocked. There he was with nothing but his boxers on. My eyes quickly gazed to his crotch. I noticed that he was hard and his silk boxer were being pulled tight by his 9 in. dick.
"Tina", he said," This is the one condition". He slowly started to remove his boxers and in a flash his fully hard cock popped out. Standing there in in full glory he told me to undress and lay down.
scared I quickly told him to fuck off. He just reminded me that I am his only way to New York. He also reminded me that if I didn’t go that I could blow my chance at fucking Jake. That fucking bastard he was reading my emails.
I started to do what he told me . Slowly removing my top which was the only thing covering my average size tits. I then removed my night short which once again where the only thing coving my love hole. See I don’t like to wear panties. I then laid on the bed and waited for the worst.
What happened next didn’t scare me it sent waves of pleasure through my body. He had his head between my legs licking my clit like a fucking mad man. I didn’t take long for my virgin pussy to start to tingle which sent me in to my first and till today the most amazing orgasm of my life.
I couldn’t take it any more and pushed him on the bed. I kissed down his chest and belly. I then reached his cum in my mouth.
When he was done he slowly grabbed me by the hips and pulled me to the bed. He aimed his still stiff love rod at my virgin hole. I knew it was wrong but I didn’t care. With out waste he shoved his full nine inches in me. No care for my hymen. He stated to slowly pump my pussy. We were like this for about an hour. I guess since he cum already it was going to be a while for more.
Before I could say any thing I heard a moan and then he shoved his dick as far as he could. I felt him jerk and twitch as he did before as he released another stream of his hot baby making juice in my pussy. I reached around and slapped him.
"You asshole I am not on the pill and you didn’t bring a condom", I screamed.
He just scoffed and walked out.
Well I did get to go to New York. I did get to fuck Jake. I couldn’t help closing my eyes and dreaming it was my brother though.
Three weeks after I returned I found out I was pregnant and knowing that Jake used protection that left only one guy to be the father. That just turned both of us on. But that is a different story.
‘Come on Loca…if that’s even your real name!’ Melanie said while pushing the dress into my arms. ‘No, that’s what you call me. Come on, I’d like to go to a place where I don’t get in trouble because of you.’ I rolled my eyes trying to hand the dress back to her. ‘We’ve never even been in this part of town! They don’t know who we are. For all these people know we are some old prick’s young tenderonies.’ This time Melanie positioned me so I was facing the mirror. I couldn’t help but laugh. My...
Cell phones did voice and nothing more. There was no Facebook, no social media. We still used the Yellow Pages, read news in the paper, and viewed porn in print magazines and DVDs. We talked to each other online under false names, making up this or that pseudonym and playing the field. It was a different culture on the net, one in some ways freer and more liberated than today. This is a tale of those times. 2001 it was. Spring. Phil saw another handle enter the room. Nycsubf, she called...

IncestDay 1How was I trapped into this? A couple weeks ago, I substitute for a week for the band teacher, and now I find myself chaperoning a trip half way across the country. The high school band had been invited to play for the Independence Day celebration in New York City, but at the last minute the parental sponsor that was supposed to help, bailed out on the teacher. Mrs. Stevens said that I had seemed to connect well with the teens, and needed a male chaperone, so asked if I wanted an all...
New York can be such an exciting place to visit. It's frustrating when you arethere to work, and you would like some time to play. I'm Oralia Cruz, and I'm an attorney in Miami. I was in New York to takea series of depositions for a class action suit my firm is currently workingon. The damn depos are scheduled from first thing in the morning to last thingat night. By the time I would finish each day, I barely had the energy to geta bite to eat and fall into bed back at my hotel. And yet I had...
Oh, oh…and then there was Laurel and the dreaded triangle. Revised, rewritten, and continued from chapter 02: Her name was Laurel. She definitely had a much better name than Barbara, my name. When I thought of her name, I thought of a field of heather. When I thought of her name, I thought of a crown, a white headpiece, and her standing at the altar next to Daniel ready to marry my man instead of me. When I thought of her name, I thought about them talking over breakfast, lunch, and dinner....
Then he began to speak, with a passion, even an eloquence, that they had never seen in a tech presentation. He had a spring in his step, a light in his eyes, something that had given him an infectious confidence. He posed questions. He subtly flirted with the women. He cracked jokes. It was a tour de force, the kind you expect to hear from PR, not IT. It was like opening a bottle of juice and finding the finest wine instead. Those who had meetings with him were astounded. What had happened to...
I won an all expenses trip to New York City for three days. My online friend Lynn, who runs a small gallery in a suburb of New York City, is excited, because we have not met yet. Her joining me in the city will be a great way to physically connect for the first time. Before now we have only talked on the phone and written each other. The prize trip includes airfare, hotel, an unnecessary shopping spree and a dinner at an expensive restaurant one night before I depart home. My hope is that she...

Life tends to be full of surprises and is much the better for it, some of these are good and some are not so good. I have been traveling extensively for business for the past f******n years and when I discuss my job with friends they always seem to think that I lead a glamorous lifestyle, little do they realize how hard and boring in can be. When I started traveling I thought I would be meeting exciting people, especially women, how naïve I was. For years nothing major happened, until one...

New York City Some colleagues and I decided to take advantage of the warm Friday afternoon, so we headed to a midtown outdoor café for lunch. On this sunny afternoon the streets were alive and the café was busy. However, you sitting in the corner, wearing that yellow sundress, with the sunlight shimmering off your dark hair quickly caught my eye. I tried to join in with my coworkers’ banter, laughing when I thought I heard a joke, chiming in to make it seem like I was paying attention to...
I want to thank everyone who's read this series and left reviews. It wasn't my first story I put in, but its been the one I've enjoyed writing the most. I credit a lot of writers for giving me ideas and inspiring me, denver and Julie O are the ones I like the most. I started writing because of a lack of roleplay partners in the roleplay chat rooms. The demise of the themed user rooms made that harder. If anyone reading my stories wants to roleplay with me, email me at...
My adventure, if you can call it that, began just over twelve months ago when I was flying to New York to start my new job playing the clarinet in the Metropolitan Opera orchestra. I was in my early thirties with no romantic connections having broken up with my girlfriend three months earlier, so when my agent mentioned that the Met were recruiting I jumped at the chance.I was travelling business class courtesy of my father’s senior position in a major broadsheet newspaper — a perk I didn’t...
FetishMy trip to New York was ace. The city is frantic, the shopping was fantastic and the food was brilliant. I even managed to get in a couple of discrete fucks while I was there. It was most unexpected, but incredibly sexy to say the least. A nice set of genuine intercontinental one night stands. I was fucked by total strangers on another continent. How it all came about was I met this guy from England in the apartment Kitchens. The kitchens were communal and I was making some coffee as mum was...
MONA TURNS TO BE THE SEX QUEEN OF LONG ISLAND, NEW YORKTHE WILD SEX STORY OF MONA (SARA ANSARI):Mona (Sara Ansari) is the younger sister of my wife. Before moving to New York she lived in Pakistan - while I was living in Europe. I was fascinated by her as soon as I saw her first time at the occasion of my marriage. And a few months later I had told her that I was so fascinated by her. Even at that time she gave me a welcoming response, though nothing moved further during that phase. Next year...
From 'The Autobiography of Miss Louisa Harper of New York and Newport' ~ "The day of Miranda's wedding was cloudy and overcast, so perhaps Aunt Ada had been correct. Perhaps God would not waste a beautiful day on a wedding that would lead to a loveless marriage. Instead of using the vast tents that had been erected on the lawns at Golden Bluffs, everything was moved into our grand ballroom, which was large, but could not accommodate everyone who'd been invited. So, tables were also...
It was really painful the first time I saw my wife with another man. I guess that I had known that something was going on for quite awhile but just didn't want to admit it. So I went along as though everything was fine. We had been married about three years and had move to New York City about 18 months ago. She was both pretty and cute. I adored her. She was about 5'5" long light brown hair, brown eyes and had a smile to die for. About 1120 pounds she had smallish breast curved hips and the...
I had just divorced my husband of 10 years because of his infidelity, and the fact that he was having an affair with my best friend, certainly did not help. That was not a nice thing to find out, but it happened. We had no children together and I guess in a sense it was a blessing not to have a young child or young children feel the pain of parents separating and then a divorce. Friends of mine seem to always want to get me out of the house. Most of my girlfriends are single by choice, and...

July 20, 1986, Chicago, Illinois “What are you going to do in New York City for the next few days?” Jessica asked as we cuddled with Kara in bed on Sunday morning. “Probably be chased by Lyudmila!” Kara teased. “I’ll have dinner with Colonel Anisimova and her husband tomorrow night. On Tuesday she’s taking me on a tour of the United Nations building and I’m having dinner with Josh and Mary Harrison. They’re driving down from Boston.

Sue was ready at last. It had been a long time for her, over six months. Never since her early teens had she gone for so long without it, so great was the trauma she'd been through. And this man, this proud and tall man, this pillar of the community, respected and liked by all, had been her rock. He had been what she scarcely deserved. Now she was in bed with him, and she would give him everything he deserved. She was wet with anticipation. His body, muscular and powerful, titillated her...

~ I still sort of remember the feeling of being new to the school. Fresh from London and supposed to attend some boarding school in York. So what if my father comes from York? I don't care. Anyway – this took place in 2006, and I was sixteen. I'm turning eighteen in three weeks as of me writing this. My name is James William Blackburn. Guess how many people has teased me about my name being James Bond when they knew my initials? That's right, too many. Now I shouldn't get you...
At 35,000 feet over the Atlantic, my mind was so full of the reason for making this one-day trip, I knew I would not be able to avoid the other memories of the intimacies and joys of our life together.Was Leah, my daughter, right in telling me I was crazy? “Hell, Dad, you’re eighty years old. Why would you want to go back to New York at your age?” I knew the whole family, were thinking I was showing the first signs of dementia. Jack Spright with dementia? That was far from the truth. Alright,...
MatureBefore we get started with this one, I would like to thank all of you who take the time to contact me about my stories. I would like to say though, those of you who are looking for happy endings in my stories, you're probably not going to find one! Extreme humiliation, feminization and punishment is what my subjects will suffer through after being caught or tricked! If this is not what you're looking for in a story, please take your less than desireable reviews and move on to another...
We were standing at the airline counter, redeeming our tickets to New York. The clerk was going through his list of canned questions, looking up only to snatch glimpses of the Grand Canyon--the 16 inches of Millie's creamy-white cleavage (I measured it while she giggled). She was wearing a shockingly short microskirt and an incredibly low-cut T-shirt top, with a stretchy sling bra that offered very little support for her swaying, wobbling football tits. Actually, they're bigger than footballs....

Any resemblance to actual persons, living, dead, undead or mostly harmless, business establishments, events, or locales is entirely coincidental.

-- SUNDAY, JUNE 18, 2006 -- Even though it was well after midnight, the city lights burned as brightly as they had at 9pm. I stared out the driver's-side window of our taxi watching skyscraper after skyscraper anonymously pass by without recognition. I didn't know where I was, had no clue how much longer it would take, and the urban jungle of Manhattan only amplified my feelings of being lost without direction. Twenty minutes ago I knew who I was, knew who I was with, and knew why I was...
 Yvonne was once again awestruck. Ricky's hard cock was worthy of the Greek gods themselves. It was thick and curved and the tip was flushed a bright red like a juicy berry begging to be placed between her lips She'd been in New York for 2 days now, her feet were sore from walking, it was 40 degrees above - way too hot for comfort and her friend’s flight over had been cancelled at the last minute. She'd exhausted the number of things a single girl can do in New York by themselves and had been...
First TimeIt was a beautiful sunny day in late August in New York City. I am a tourist and you are showing me your city. We browse the shop windows in the Soho district, eventually wandering down a tree lined street. I never dreamed that New York City was so beautiful. Even the bustle of New Yorkers pressing past does not impede on my pleasure. Nothing could improve upon this moment as I commit the picture of it in my mind. I turn to look over my shoulder at you as we walk along the New York street, we...

This is my first submission, and my first work of fiction. I have attempted to create a piece that is sweet, positive and fun, and I hope it is worthy of Fictionmania. "A Wonderful Night in New York" I pulled the wig on, and there was Laura, staring back at me in the mirror. I brushed her long, shoulder length black hair. It was soft and straight, and I put a simple black headband on to pull it off her face. Her face smiled at me through those beautiful, full red lips. Her...
For Friends and Family Part 15 - Fairy Tale of New York I make no apologies for using this title at this time of year, it just seemed so right! I finished brushing my hair, I was totally naked, really enjoying the sight of my breasts gently jiggling as I brushed my tresses, after the talk with mum I was far more settled in my mind. After the 100 strokes, my hair was shining; I put on a peach silk nightdress with spaghetti straps and climbed into bed. I woke around eight the next...
It took the next six weeks to again read all the texts Uncle Bert had arranged for me to read. With Andy and Mary around, I did not spend full time reading, of course. But, I did spend a great deal of time on them. I was very pleased Uncle Bert had programmed me for higher and greater intellectual and memory capacities. From the heavy instruction Andy and I received from Father O’Brien in Santa Fe, and, from all the books, my view of humanity from a religious - philosophical - ethical -...
NEW YORK SWITCH CHAPTER 2 I knew the morning would come when my owner would come to me, the one who had Serena abducted and brought here for training. That morning, I knew that today was the day, I'd finally get to meet the one that wanted me as his trained, submissive slave girl. I missed the freedom I had before, the freedom of being able to move around freely, to eat what I wanted, do what I wanted, I missed my male body more than ever. My chastity belt had been taken off the...
NEW YORK SWITCH CHAPTER 4 Waking up next to my master, I felt my clit throbbing from the dream I'd had, then quickly slipped under the covers to pull my masters boxers down with my teeth and slide his cock into my mouth. It was part of my morning routine that I was used to and had even come to love. Maybe it was the numbers of times that I'd done it, or maybe my brain was being rewired by Serena's hormones. Whatever the reason, my pussy throbbed as I slid my lips back and forth along...
by Royal Trycon © ~Being the last day of the year, everyone I knew found the excuse to get together and have a party at my down town New York apartment. I had no problem with it, seein' as I hate bein' alone on New Years anyway. And had bought plenty of booze a few days back to celebrate the unveiling of a new painting I had finished recently. My apartment was larger than most, with my framed work thru out the place. Plenty of girls arrived, and had already all put their hands down my...
NEW YORK SWITCH CHAPTER 5 I had been my masters pet for just over 2 years now. If he knew that my mind was that of a former male, he never let on or even let slip that he knew. That was both good and bad. Good in that he had no reason to doubt or punish me, and bad in that my life as his captive submissive would never end. He did care for me, kept me on birth control pills to prevent pregnancy, had a doctor come to give me a check up every 2 to 3 months. Deep down I craved the...
The headaches, the nausea, the vomiting just would not go away. No matter how much of the willow bark extract I consumed, the discomfort kept coming back. It had even gotten worse over the last two years. It looked like I would just have to bite the bullet and see those doctors in Minnesota. I planned to write the letter this afternoon, asking them to see me. The best time for me to go looked like in late May or in June, so that I wouldn't miss planting or harvest season. "At last! Daddy...
His eyes wandered, as usual, to the top shelf. *** 1983 it was. Summer. Phil wandered into the motel newsstand. He was looking for comic books. There was an issue of Playboy. It was the Dirty Book, the one Good Boys Aren't Supposed to Read. Normally it was on the top shelf. But not today. Someone had put it where they shouldn't. Dark whispers were spread about Playboy at school. It was said to have pictures of women in it, women with no clothes on. Phil wondered what sort of man read...
I was walking down a busy street in New York City. The hustle and bustle a far and distant cry from my own corn-shucking surroundings. Knowing that everything was an option for me now, I went walking down Broadway hoping for the off chance that I might bump into someone worthwhile.

I realize that my fetish is highly unusual and not shared by most, maybe a couple of people on this site. Most people can't even relate to it. This is my second story. I am sexually attracted to newspapers. I become aroused by looking at them, see women reading them, the smell, the texture. I like to wrap them around me head, body, and genitals. I sleep with them. I have sex with them. I always had this fetish. It has not changed over time. I love broadsheet papers, particularly the New York...
FetishWhen you wake up, the morning sun is peaking through your bedroom curtains. The smell of breakfast seeps through the air vents and you can hear your family going about their morning ritual of yelling about the news, laughing uncontrollably, and altogether being as Italian as possible. For a moment, you question why Mother didn't wake you up at seven as she always does, but then you remember: today is your birthday. You crawl out of bed and slip on a pair of underwear. Normally, you'd go ahead...

From The Autobiography of Miss Louisa Harper ~ "The July Fourth holiday was always a huge event at Golden Bluffs, as it was at all Newport estates. Most notables of Boston, New York and Washington would vie for invitations to spend the holiday at Golden Bluffs, The Breakers or The Elms, and Independence Day in 1890 was grandest that anyone could ever recall. Despite the social stature of most of our guests, the holiday was dominated by a handsome bureaucrat from The United States Civil...
I was 14 that spring when Mother suggested we take a trip to New York City after school let out for the summer. She had been there while she was pregnant with me when my father was in the Air Force and stationed near there and had always wanted to go back for another visit. I had grown up in Chattanooga and had never been out of the South so I thought it sounded like a neat idea. In mid June, Mother got a good round trip rate so we flew to New York on a Friday morning. It was my first time...
I found Cassidy at our locker when I got to school Monday morning. When she saw me she acted funny and tried to duck out. I suddenly felt my stomach tighten up. "Freeze," I ordered. She wouldn't look me in the eye. "Tell me," I said. She took a deep breath and then it came out in a rush. "We went to the party on Saturday. April had a few drinks. I don't think she had ever done that before," Cassidy said barely above a whisper. Then she straightened up. "Luke was hitting on her,...
Every six months, Marisol flew to New York to visit her son bearing presents and abundance of love. Early summer she came for his birthday and every Christmas she joined Luisa's family for the celebration. The presents didn't hurt, but Nate loved his "aunt's" visits more for her presence. She seemed devoted to his every word. She shared little of her life, telling him his "mother" had all the luck and she was just a mousy old maid. "But you're not," he said on Christmas of his...
"Why would bandits attack a wagon load of vegetables? There are only two possible reasons. The less likely one is that 'if it is a wagon hauling freight to market, it must be worth stealing.' The more likely one is 'I want to drive James York into bankruptcy; therefore, I will attack all ways that he has of earning money.'" Catherine remarked, "You can probably ignore the first reason and try to fathom the second reason. Since we have no obvious enemies, it must be enmity from some...
