Cora opened her eyes and squinted at the daylight. She had fallen asleep in the passenger seat of her mother’s SUV. They had been driving for nearly three hours and were reaching their destination. Cora woke up just in time to drink in the beautiful countryside of Trimbridge, a small town in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania.
She had grown up running through its fields, exploring its woods, splashing in its creeks, and playing on her Pop’s farm. She truly had the perfect childhood not including the fact she had no father and dealt with her mother’s many boyfriends.
Cora had successfully scared away man after man after man. From 4 to 9 she rode the farms ponies, she hid in its hay mows, she climbed in its corn cribs, and she nursed the newborn kittens and calves religiously. Years of play had built her an outstanding imagination which generally worked in her favor when it came to getting what she wanted from adults, but children at the grade schools thought differently.
She was a short round farm girl. She didn’t care what she wore, she didn’t care about her hair, and she didn’t sit around and watch the others kids like her get bullied by those who were ‘popular.’ So she was generally at the bottom of the social ladder.
One day when Cora was age 9 her mother met a man. This man was more determined than any she had seen before. She would ignore him and tell her mother that he was like all the others. Until one day the new boyfriend slept over at the farm house. Her mother left for work and it was just Cora and the new guy. He took her to breakfast at the diner and over scrambled eggs asked Cora if he could ‘marry her mommy.’ The fact that he had asked her gave him major points and before she knew it she had a new dad, a new family, and a new life.
Cora moved to the city with her new family. She spent years building a new life in the city. Her metabolism kicked in at about age 11, her baby fat was completely gone and she shot up about a foot by age 13, and before she knew it she was 18 and a beautiful young woman. She graduated high school and decided that a visit back to Trimbridge was in order.
When she arrived she was surprised to see that so little had changed. Other than a burger joint and a Fashion Bug time had stood still. She remembered every street and all her neighbors and even most of the store and restaurant owners were even still the same plus a few grey hairs.
She passed through downtown Trimbridge rather fast and came to her grandfathers farm. She wanted to cry. When she was younger she took its beauty and coziness for granted. She smelled the hay and listened to the rustle of the tall grass. Her mom pulled up to the front of the milking parlor and said, ‘ Well now here you are baby. Call me everyday to tell me how you do down here.’ She said the last five words with a less cheerful and more resentful tone. She had grown up on these farms and definitely liked her dreamy big city life more than the one she had lived here for so many years.
Cora hopped out of the car. The house that Cora would be staying in was about a mile up the road and her mother was kind enough to let Cora look around while she unloaded her bags at the house. Cora knew the first person she wanted to find on this big farm. Pop! She waited until her mom pulled away and flew down to the farm house, and sure enough who was in the kitchen prepping for afternoon chores, but Pop himself. He did not look a day over 45 even though he was now pushing 60. The hair on his head though fine was thick and covered his entire head. It was still black and matched his dark moustache. His big grayish white grin was as shiny and laughing as his green eyes and he welcomed her with a big hug.
As soon as the greeting was taken care of Cora followed her grandfather out to gather the eggs. As they walked she asked him all sorts f questions. ‘Where are all the cows?’ ‘Who is helping you out here?’ ‘Why is it so quiet?’
She soon found out that two years after she had left her grandfather auctioned off every last dairy cow and now raised beef cattle, his crops, and the chickens. She also found that her grandfather’s brother had died leaving him with the full responsibility of the farm and shortly after he died many of the farmhands dispersed. Once the farmhands and the majority of the livestock where auctioned things naturally just quieted down.
She felt tears come to her eyes only the surface had stayed the same. Everything had changed on the inside. She quietly helped her grandfather finish the chores and decided she would go home and rest. As she walked down the driveway to the road that would take her to the house she was almost mowed down by a massive red Chevy with tinted windows that was blaring Toby Keith from the cab. Once the driver saw her he hit the breaks and honked his car horn loud and long. A look of shock washed over her face and she stepped out of the trucks path. Wondering what had happened to her town she walked home.
I was traveling down US Hwy 69 through east Texas when I passed her – a country girl, in tight blue jeans and a very tight white blouse, walking all alone in the high grass on the side of the road. It was a warm day, not too hot and not chilly. I was about five miles outside of Mineola, when I saw her. I didn’t see a car on the side of the road and the area was kind of remote, so I did a uturn and headed back towards where she was walking on the side of the road. I slowed up a bit as I drove...

The rest of the weekend and then the next week continues as before. Linda and I take Mandy rollerskating, and the three of us have a blast. Then we hit an arcade and hang out together until almost 9. Mandy is actually pretty good at Frogger. Finally I drop them off and get a lovely kiss from Linda.That Thursday I pick everybody up and JD tells us that since this is a new campaign start we can change out our characters if we want. Keith decides that he wants to pull out his old ranger Markoff...
Country club communities are sprinkled all over the area where I live. So it's no surprise that there are a lot of lonely housewives looking for a distraction while their husbands are away on business or out playing golf. The other thing they love to do is throw parties, and as a caterer I get to meet a lot of these housewives. Here is one of their stories;Karen called me about an event she wanted to host in her home. She lived in a gated country club community where all the homes were...

You know how it is. You keep doing the day-by-day because that's what you do, that's what's familiar. It's what you're good at. It's your little life, but by god it's all yours. You're just going on, living your life. It's not much, but it's your life. Everyday ... it might not be much, but at least it's your own goddamn life. You own it. Or, so you think... Imagine the day you wake up as usual, and then suddenly your life has turned into a Country song. One with many sad, sordid...
My twin cousins from the country, Harry and Henrietta were all set to start the new school year with my brother Mike and I after the long hot summer and I was none too happy about it. I was all set on them getting into their old car and heading back out to the country when their mother made a deal with my mom to stay the full school year because the bank was foreclosing on the old homestead on the other side of the river. My mom was a real sucker for a sob story and she told Aunt Edith that...
At some point in our lives we go through some introspection as to why you are the way you are. Me? I've been accussed of being a sex crazy bitch, a slut, near animal, and insane. Some of which I consider a compliment, some distasteful. But sex has played a major roll in many of my life's happenings so I wonder how some are more sexually oriented than others. Sex, wonderful sex, sexual disposition, attitude toward sex, is it genetic? Is it from past invironment? Does it just...
The cowboy strolled into the police station as if he owned the place. He was wearing a straw cowboy hat, boot fitted jeans, a white shirt, round-toed boots, and a belt buckle with an agate stone gracing it. In one hand he carried a small foam coffee cup. In the other, he had a large stack of papers. He walked over to the desk sergeant and said, “Howdy.” “Howdy back at you,” the desk sergeant said amused by the greeting. He took a second to look over the man standing at his counter. It...
Sonny slid onto the bar stool while saying, “I’ll have a beer.” The bartender looked at Sonny and then poured a beer out of the tap. He put it down in front of Sonny and said, “That’ll be four bucks.” Sonny pulled out a five and said, “Keep the change.” “Thanks,” the bartender said. Sonny turned to the man seated beside him and said, “Well! Hello, Detective Mike Saperstein. What are you doing frequenting my favorite drinking establishment in all of Los Angeles?” “What in the hell are you...
Pepper used the shovel to lift the horse manure off the bed of straw. He had it down to an art form after so much practice. The vet was supposed to come later that afternoon to check the mares, and to take the blood samples necessary to see if they were pregnant. After that, they would be returning the horses outdoors. The job of mucking out the stables would be significantly reduced. A noise from behind drew his attention. He turned to look, and saw Dan standing at the doorway of the stall....
Our story begins with a recent refurbishment of a local theater. The local tabloids had done recent articles on the theater: when it was first constructed, its passings of ownership, and its slow decay with the poor economic times. Our two lovebirds had first fallen in love at this theater. They had been following these news articles with building interest as the week passed, for these articles were the build up to the first show of the refurbished theater. The two lovebirds had made a date of...
CHAPTER 1 _____________________ Beau Lovejoy was pretty much a nerd when he was young. He loved to read, and he was completely addicted to comic books, but anything that wasn't grounded in reality would do. He was always lost in some fantasy or another, and the real world seemed rather mundane in comparison. At least, it did until he discovered something even more facinating. Women. When he was a boy, he found girls annoying, and he actually tried to...
Pepper stepped out of the trailer and stretched, once he was free of its confines. It was false dawn and the light was just bright enough to see his surroundings clearly, while still giving everything a soft appearance. The dew on the ground gave the grass a delicate appearance, like something out of a fairy tale. There was just enough of a chill in the air to make him wish he was still in bed. The whinny of a horse drew his eye to the south end of the pasture. Looking at them brought back...
My mothers name is libby, she has lived in the country her whole life raising chickens and horses. Shes tall with shoulder length blonde hair and big milky breasts and blue eyes like myself. She had married my father who has always preferred the city life. He worked long hours at his desk job being an accountant for a small law firm. He only moved to the country to please my mother which I believe is the only way he pleases her. Im 19 years old and like most people my age I tend to get...
So, I gathered up some gas money and headed off in my van...and found nothing. TV be damned, a lot of places I stopped at just sent me packin' and the stuff I did get to look at was real junk. I mean real junk. Whatever this game was, I sucked at it, but I kept at it more out of stubbornness than anything else. Lately I had taking to sleeping in the van to save money and went farther and farther out from the bigger towns, hunting for that jackpot of rusty rareness. I wasn't exactly lost...
* I’m aware my first chapter was a bit short, but this story has a lot of background leading up to the more hot part of this romance. Thank you for the positive feedback more will be along shortly.* * The alarm in Cora’s room went off at 6 the next morning. She rolled out of her bed and smiled as the brisk fresh air blew through her open window and refreshed her. The breeze blew the curtains which where white as the bright morning sunshine shone through them. This was a true country morning....
I had just recently moved to LA, and had not really met anybody yet. I was 16, and coming from a little town in Idaho to the culture of Sex and d**gs, Punk Rock and Valley Girls was a bit of a shock for a country boy like me. But I did enjoy looking at the cute girls with their poofed out hairstyles, pastel colored blouses and short skirts.Having nothing to do one night my dad gave me $10 for gas and entertainment and I went out exploring. After hitting up one of the local arcades for a bit, I...
Country Girl By Lauren Westley So, here I was, waiting in the back corner of the garage, the door to the empty bay open. The night light illuminating the front reaches of the garage. The garage lights were off. Instead, in the shadow of the corner, I waited for him to come. Nearly a year ago I had met Master Cock on-line. This was a unique chat room, one where submissive wantabe transvestites could meet dominant men for on-line fantasy eroticism. I had been coming to this site...
Author Notes.I have had a lot of questions and responses over this story, and thought I would try something new. If you do not want any backstory or information feel free to stop reading now. This is in no way required reading or part of the story.Background, this started as an idea I had to try and drag the actual sex in a story (sex as in the main character’s penis entering a vagina) as long as I can. So many stories are 10 paragraphs long, and the main characters are fucking by the end of...
After Beth had wandered around Lander for a while longer the three friends returned to the laboratory and resumed their work. This time, however, Larry and Rachel had a star struck helper and they made sure there was no one else in the building and the doors were locked. Over the next week, Beth dropped all her ongoing projects and assigned them to her subordinates. She insisted on helping with the antigravity research from that point on. Of course, what she was mostly doing was learning the...

No, I never been more than a hundred miles from home since I was born. It's boring, let me tell you. Same old people, same old...
I actually love living out in the country. At first, I didn’t think I would. I certainly didn’t move out here with my Uncle Dan by choice. About four months ago, I was still living with my mom and stepdad in a fairly large city. One night, when my mom was working late, my stepdad and I got into a discussion about whether younger or older men make better lovers. His argument was that older men are much more patient, especially when giving oral sex to their partners. I told him, half-jokingly,...
The young woman parked her jeep in front of a building that advertised that it was a gas station, post office, and general store. She climbed out of her Jeep, and looked around at the town with amusement. It was just as small as she had been expecting. She walked into the store finding that it was packed with merchandise from floor to ceiling. An elderly man was seated in a wooden chair next to a small Franklin wood-burning stove. At least the stove wasn’t lit. The man rose from his chair....
EPISODE IVCrimson & CloverWe decide for our anniversary to go for a ride in the country, having a picnic lunch packed with a bottle of red table wine & a blanket. Just the two of us this time. We drove for quite some time, until we drove way out into the boonies, big time! We spotted this huge field of clover growing on the right side of the country road, so we found a dirt road leading into it. Bob's road, I presumed? Ha ha. Driving in just far enough not to be spotted from the road,...
The bell rung, class and school was dismissed for the day. It was the last day before Spring Break, and Ryan and I were looking forward to time together. We had gotten married on winter break, after we had gotten ourselves into a bit of trouble. I gathered my books, and went out to his truck. Part way down the hall, he caught up to me, and took my books."I told you, I'd carry your books, you shouldn't be carrying them.""Ryan, the doctor told you, it's fine. It's not going to hurt me, or the...
Love StoriesWe had never dated, but there was definitely something beyond friendship between us. Kara had been my best friend forever it seemed, I couldn’t remember a Birthday I hadn’t spent with her. She knew everything about me, and I about her, I had trusted her with all my secrets, from my first crush to my first time having sex, even how I liked to masturbate. I’m not sure why, she was plenty attractive, if a little big. She was about my height, 5’10, with a Lindsay Lohan body type. Skinny...
I wrote Country Doctor parts one and two awhile back, and a few people suggested that the story should be expanded. I think that this part can stand by itself. But if you enjoy it and want more it does continue… Jenny Watson sat with her legs pressed tight together and her hands gripping the edge of the exam table. Her back was ramrod straight and her eyes looked downward at her knees. She was naked from the waist up and her small pointed breasts stuck straight out from her chest. The round...
Chapter 1 Sweat poured down his back as Luc pounded the head of the pick-axe deep into the clay and soil mixed ground. Over and over he did this as his white tee, now slightly brown from the clay and soil, had a rather large sweat spot on it. The sun was playing hell on him, but he didn’t seem to notice, as he continued to toll away at the days chores. ‘What the hell am I doing?’ he thought as he replaced the bandana back into his butt pocket of his blue jeans, after having wiping his face...
Finally the time to visit Idaho was here. I had gone over Blue Whale carefully, getting a complete oil change and tune-up before loading up. Everything was fixed up and ready, I had made 6 cassette tapes to listen to for the drive (I knew first hand there were many areas with no radio stations on the trip), and Linda stayed with me the night before we left.It was about 16 hours to our destination, and to see the most on the trip I decided on 2 different routes. On the way there we would take...
The next weekend Deana came over and spent the weekend at our house, so I got to spend a lot of time talking to her. She and Linda got along great, and we spent about an hour in the game room as I showed her the outlines I had for articles that were not done yet.“Pete, these are really great. But you know I can't be your editor anymore, right?”“Yea, dad mentioned that. Conflict of interest.”“Yea, but my boss said for me to just pass them along to him and he would do it himself. He really likes...
About 30 minutes later Holly knocked on the door, and wow! Her black sweaterdress with the white belt, dangly earrings, and instead of her usual poofed out hairstyle she had it with no hair spray and pulled back into a simple ponytail.“Holly, you look great!” I said as I hugged her. And she was wearing a perfume that would give an erection to a corpse. “Do you know where we're going?””Yea, he gave me his address, but I have no idea where it is.”“No problemo,” I said, and went into the game room...
I called Holly and the girls, and 10 minutes later Holly was sitting next to me as I went to get Mandy and Linda. A little later we were pulling in front of the used car lot in Reseda and getting out, and Peggy jumped into Mandy’s arms. “It’s ready! It’s ready!”She took us into the back and there it was. A yellow Volkswagen Thing, complete with a black convertible top. AM-FM-tape deck stereo, and all the bells and whistles. We spent a few minutes as she showed it off to us, and her uncle was...
On Saturday I drove over to Linda’s and Rosie drove us to the rink in Parthenia. Holly and Keith arrived shortly after we did, and we all took seats and watched the routines.Mandy was next to last and second oldest of the performers, most were from 6 to 12, and the oldest was a 22 year old guy. It opened with an exhibition by one of the instructors, showing what was expected from each of the skaters being evaluated. Then they all started to take their turns, in order of age from youngest to...
Once we were back in the room, the girls insisted that Keith and I shower and change as they sat in the sitting area and talked. So with a shrug we each did that. I put on a pair of swim shorts I had and a tank top and rejoined the girls.The girls had showered earlier, so Linda, Peggy, and Mandy all went into our bedroom together to get changed, and as soon as Keith returned in a pair of sweatpants and t-shirt, Holly went off to do the same. I got the champagne out and set up the glasses as I...
Finally it was time for the con. We took an extra day off of school and with the top down were driving down the San Diego Freeway for our weekend of fun. We hit the expected traffic, but none of us cared. This was going to be a great weekend.Surprisingly enough, Mandy said she and Peggy wanted to come as well. They had come to one of the games a few weeks ago, and Peggy thought it was cool also. Thankfully we were having dinner with Rosie at the time and she cut that off. “Sorry k**, but nope....
Finally it was Saturday, the day of the dance. I was a bit nervous, but also anticipating the night to come. I spent the morning pulling everything out I was going to need, and more time than I wanted going through boxes that were still packed in the garage I had not thought I would need again any time soon.After lunch I called Linda and we chatted for a bit. She told me not to pick up Holly, she was already on her way over there and that Keith and I should just pick them both up at her house....
The next morning I got up and took a shower. I took a long sniff of my fingers before climbing in, enjoying one last moment of Linda’s scent. Then once I got dressed, I went downstairs to clean up Scout.I had done little more than open all the doors and the rear hatch before I felt arms around my waist and Holly saying “Good morning Fairbough.” I returned her hug, and then she stepped back and examined my car. “Well, I knew something was up when you got home” she said, with a smirk on her...
Well, the new school year started and I was quickly learning how things were in LA. I had made a few friends, and was learning about things I had never known about back home.Like Dungeons and Dragons was not only played by the geeks and nerds. One of the members of the group that taught me how to play was a fullback on the football team, and 2 were cute girls that were on the Drill Team. I still mostly listened to Country and Top 40 music, but I was gaining an appreciation for more varied...
A short story - enjoy.The couple wanted to get away from it all and have some fun. The Husband rented country house for a naked weekend of sex and debauchery together. It was perfect venue, secured private compound, with the house high on a hill with distant views to valley below. The house wrapped around the pool, making it very private. It was summer and warm, from the moment they closed the front door behind them they were naked. Nude swimming, sex at pool, sex in lounge, sex in bed,...

I have been into some wild parties, with all kinds of sexual games and the like, but recently, it's caused me a bit of stress. I guess I should start by telling you about my friend Tim. I met him at the collections agency I started work for. He started work there right after I did, and we kind of hit it off. He was fun, but god was he naïve! I mean, I came from a small town, but this guy... If you couldn't milk it or harvest it, he didn't have a clue what you were talking about. And here he was...
Country Girl Day One Morning By Lauren Westley I was awakened at 6am by the little clock on the side of my bed. It didn't buzz or play music. Instead it repeated over and over, "Get up cunt." There was no snooze button. No way to ignore its command to me. No way for me to believe this had been a little girlish fantasy dream I was just awakening...
Country Girl Day One Later By Lauren Westley (Authoress's note: of course all disclaimers are still in place regarding characters etc., except for one small truth since so many readers asked me to answer this question. Most of the things I write about I did at some point in my life. Perhaps they were not with as many people but at least one person was there. And they were absolutely not done in the order written and there are some things I've done that haven't made it into any of...
Note: ——I am NOT the author!so plz Don't ask me about part two,am simply sharing this lovely story with all of you because I have not seen it on hereI was overcome with temptation and I reached a point where I gave into his desires.I moved to Seattle in 2002, at the age of 24 to get a better job. I grew up in a rural white community and I found the mixture of cultures in the city to be fascinating and yet almost alien compared to my life in the country. I finally got a job at a night club and I...

It is Friday afternoon and Jessie is all excited he will be spending the weekend with Mandy. The funny thing is he knows Mandy is biologically male kind of but he doesn't care because all he wants to do is spend his life with her. As he was going through the clothes the phone rang and picked it up on the 3d ring and it was Mandy. He said, "Hello." She asked, "Are you sure you still want me?" He said, "Heck yes and you know what I think I want to spend my life with you. That is...
Jessie woke up and he for a moment he forgot what bed he was in until he looked over and saw Mandy and realized that this wasn't a dream and he looked at his watch couldn't believe he slept until 7. He bent over and kissed Mandy and she stirred and she slowly opened her eyes. Mandy said, "Morning handsome, I must say I am so glad I didn't dream that last night." Jessie said, "If it was a dream we are both in the same dream I hope neither one of us wakes up." Mandy said, "We can...
When we got there they had just opened the door, so I handed Linda the money for the tickets as I grabbed our skates from the back. “I wondered what those bags were, and a few other things you left in the back. You both have your own skates Pete?”“Yep. I bought Linda's sister a set 2 years ago, that was when she first got into performing. Last year I decided to get a set for Linda, and got a set for myself at the same time. They are better than any pair I've ever rented, and they have almost...
That morning we all had breakfast, then Kim took us out to the corral. Linda and I stood at the rail as Aunt Darla put Kim through her paces on the ring. “We let her take some time off since you guys were visiting, but Trixie there was getting restless. You can't leave a horse like that alone, or they get moody and fat,” Uncle Dave said.“She's really good!” Linda said, watching Kim do several runs then applauding. “How long has she been doing that?”Uncle Dave chuckled. “Oh, since she was around...
It was the last full day of the convention, and after breakfast Ginger met us and we were on our way there. She once again said how much she had enjoyed the game the night before, and I told her she was more than welcome to join us that night for champagne.Once we got there, we had barely started to wander the floor when I heard my name over the PA. Mr. Cummings was there with Roy, and after going to a private room they told me that all the arrangements were being made. Mr. Cummings had become...
My life was never the same after I met the Reid family. Phil Reid was a dairy farmer and the largest farm client of the veterinary practice in which I worked. When Joe Sanderson, the boss of the veterinary practice, died unexpectedly I worked for Joe's widow, struggling to keep the practice going. It was a stressful time. I had graduated from veterinary college only three years before and had not expected to be running a struggling business at this stage of my career. My future in the...
We hadn't been long married, and we were still settling into the routine when we decided it was time to "visit the relatives". They lived a couple of hours out of the city in the bush, so we planned to drive out to see them for the weekend. We packed the car, got in, and headed off mid-morning to see them. Like all country trips, this was the opportunity to talk about anything and everything. Along the way we started talking about the guest room in her parent's house, and how the bed...
“Larry,” Lander said. “Why do you keep trying to repair items from my ship that are not damaged?” Larry looked up from his workbench at the interruption and said, “What? Oh, I’m not trying to repair anything. I thought you knew I was studying the items trying to learn how they work, what they might be for and, if I think they would be useful to earth, how to make them here.” “Why do you not just ask me or use the training available within the Lander?” “UH, hell, I don’t know. I mean, at...
After the country—nay, the world—settled down from the impact of the new vehicles and generators, Larry called a meeting of his research staff. When they were all sitting in the plush lounge of the research facility drinking their favorite beverage Larry said, “Well, things are settling down now. Cash is rolling in faster than we can spend it. We still have some fine-tuning and some research we can do to better utilize the generator and electric engines but I have another project I want to...
