Welcome my friends. Welcome to beautiful Taylorsville, right in the heart of the Delaware Valley. We are surrounded by rolling hills and farmland. Little towns are scattered around and hide in the woods. I 95 is north of us, Route 1 south and on our east side you will find The Delaware.
It’s a comfortable, cozy little town. Currently we have about 2000 citizens but we are growing. Some locals don’t like it that they are developing the area around Route 1 to attract commuters who work in either New York or Philadelphia. But hey, you can’t stop progress.
LABYRINTH - Prologue Ned Guthrie stepped out of the bus and immediately had to balance himself. The paper bags in his hands tilted and the contents almost spilled out to the pavement. He wobbled for a second, trying to reach one of the chairs at the bus stop. Then he began rearranging his stuffs. Finally placing the champagne, roses and other items properly inside, he carried the bags and walked to his apartment. It was almost dark as the autumn breeze slowly dragged the fallen...
This is a prologue to a sci-fi story called ‘The Donation’. It is meant as a dystopia. Do not read this prologue or the following chapters, if you can not handle stories about a patriarchal regime. ‘The Gender Reconstruction Act was narrowly approved today. All remaining women’s rights have been revoked. Leading feminist protesters were arrested today, on charges of ‘inciting emasculation’, a capital offense under the Anti-Emasculation Act, enacted in 2025,’ the telecomputer announcer...
An amazing study has shown how to weed out inferior men from the age of 16 by identifying a certain gene in the boy's body: The Sissy Gene. This method has shown 100% success rate and has now been implemented as a global law. Promoting world peace, decreasing poverty , increasing employment, and strengthening future generations. The basis of the study is to label certain men as Sissies, creating a 3rd gender below male and female. Whereas men and woman are considered to be equal, Sissies are...
Introduction: Setting the scene for the next chapters. Authors Notes – I never intended this story to have intercourse in it. However, it just so happened that a friend of mine delves into this site often and convinced me to try my hand at writing. Knowing full-well the catastrophe this may well cause, I give to you a re-edited (parody, if you will) version of my up-and-coming novel Dabbling in Water. I will not post it all, only certain bits for your reading pleasure. I hope you enjoy as this...
This is a long story, containing 10 chapters, a prologue, and an epilogue. All chapters have been submitted and should be posted within a few days of each other. The idea for this story came from a story idea forum. Thank you janetsexy77. Warning: The prologue contains NO adult content. It is strictly an intro to the characters and their relationships. If this isn’t your kind of unsmut then please find another story. 8========D Agatha Allbut was a nerd. Not a hot nerd, like Willow or...

The stories are themed mainly around oral sex, with the occasional tale involving other forms of sexual activity. Each chapter is somewhat lengthy and detailed and it is my hope that such detail will provide a richer experience for you readers as you truly get an intensive look inside Rachel’s head. Further, the stories are...
This prologue is simply a brief retelling of the events of Cabin Fever that are relevant to the actual fanfic. This is here for the benefit of people who aren't familiar with Cabin Fever as it is not a well known movie. If you have seen Cabin Fever, you should be able to jump right in to Chapter 1, as this prologue won't tell you anything you don't already know. DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the movies in the Cabin Fever franchise, nor any of the characters in it. I do not make any...
If you just wanna Jack off, this prologue probably isnt for you, but if you are interested in a storyline, please read and comment/review. Thankyou. My Baby Sister : The Prologue I awoke to the familiar sound of my baby sister, Stacy, laughing as she climbed into my bed, she was ten years old and cute as hell, she had a cute button nose, a petite sweet face and auburn hair that framed he face beautifully. I grabbed her by the waist and flipped her upside down, I...

Introduction: This is only a prologue, there wont be any sex! If youre looking for a quick one handed story, look somewhere else. Based on a true story of how my brother met the love of his life and turned his whole life around. Since my first post didnt bode so well, I decided to make an extension. There will be NO SEX in this story, as it is only a prologue. If you enjoy a good romance story, this should please you. However, I will add sex to the upcoming chapters, providing if you guys want...

The limo dropped Joey and Suzi off at their homes, but they would all join us at the Hamilton mansion for dinner the next night. I had mixed feelings about Joey and Suzi not being with me to see the mansion in all its new glory for the first time, but the parental units insisted. Joey and I usually spent the rest of the day apart anyway as whenever we didn’t, we ended up getting into a massive argument before the day was over, sometimes even before we got home. I normally was so wiped out I...
Sunday, June 19, 2005 (Continued) Mom, Vanessa and Julia arrived back at 4pm. Vanessa told Dad and me, "I've got plenty of pictures in my camera of the four properties we looked at today. We're going to go to Mark's study, load the pictures onto his computer, and use his large screens to display them while we discuss our choices. I'll pick up some Chinese takeout for dinner on the way home, to give you time to clean up before you come over. How does that sound?" Apart from the sad...

The Mansion of Zedd - Tina's Box I opened the box I'd found, wondering if there would be anything valuable in it or not. Probably not considering where I'd found it to begin with. The old house just outside of town, though everyone else referred to it as a mansion, was kind of run down and abandoned. No one not even realestate agents ever went there because it was haunted or something. It was about the size of a small hotel I guess, but with lots of that old type architecture I'd...

Chapter 11 A clock ticked somewhere in the house as Daniel stumbled down the second-floor hallway in the early morning. He’d just exited the guest bedroom, leaving Khadra stuffed with his cum. Every time he thought life had hit peak crazy, it went up a notch. Ahead in the gloom, he could see a white, shimmering figure near his bedroom door. Daniel’s feet quickened and his heart skipped a beat. In the gray, pre-dawn light, he could see her red hair and he could almost make out her freckles....

Tuesday, April 19, 2005 (Continued) "Mark!" "Sorry Prof, what was that?" Prof asked, "We set your study up for you to study in it, so why would we get grumpy at your doing so?" "Huh? Oh, that's right. If I woke you up at 2:15 every morning to let me in. Wouldn't you lock your frontdoor before you went to sleep?" "Of course, but you don't need to wake us.

Friday, April 15, 2005 (Continued) I'd taken the sobbing Carol up to 'our' room. She needed lots of reassurance and I had plenty for her. As much as she wanted. She blamed herself because she'd started it by letting slip the "lots more girls" comment and had then twisted Mom's tail about it. "Mom and Dad would've known all about it in a couple of weeks anyway. We were intending to get lots of girls into my life, so they'd be calling home, coming to it, and I might even be...

I wrote these two stories as separate stories but realised that at some stage I would have to join them up to enable readers to follow both without getting confused — mainly since Chris Henderson's story started mid-way during the Cathy story and ended several chapters before Cathy's end. So this is the amalgamated story of Cathy and Chris. I give you the prologues from both! CATHY DOUGLAS This story is set 3 years ahead of the events in George Douglas; and it follows on from Veronica...
“Intruder alert, someone has broken inside the mansion. Intruder alert, someone has broken inside the mansion” A robotic voice echoed throughout the mansion. Samuel woke up with a twitch. This was the first time in a month that the alarm had sounded. Last time it had just been a stray cat walking in the yard, but this time, it was something else. “Target immobilized. Intruder identified as Angela Ziegler, codename ‘Mercy’ a field medic of Overwatch.” “An Overwatch agent?” Samuel thought to...

InterracialPROLOGUEThe Renaissance Faire has always been a refuge for freaks and weirdos. A safe place for the socially awkward and misunderstood. For the last 3 years, however, Notts’ Renaissance Faire in Georgia has expanded it’s demographic to a new clientele.

ReluctanceAs Lori sat in the diner booth, reading the menu again, she swung her feet back and forth beneath the seat. Her sandals clicked against her soles as she tried to alleviate her boredom. How long had it been since her mother excused herself to the bathroom? How many times had the waitress come by asking if she was alright and if she was ready to order? Glancing at the kitchen, Lori saw the waitress pointing her out to the hostess. They were obviously discussing the young girl who was all by her...
Author’s note: This probably won’t be relevant in the future but I’m taking a break from Arms of the Ocean for a while because I can’t get it to work properly in my head and I need it to brew some more. In the meantime, I give you this, a story that I wrote a while before I began submitting things to Literotica. It takes place in the same universe but the names of races, locations and a few other things have all been changed (Mostly as a way of separating erotic from non-erotic in the event...

She secretly sighed with relief when she noted that the room had not been disturbed. The queen hissed as Senka forced her to keep walking.

Prologue The image of a naked woman fills the notebook computer screen. She is on her knees, seen from behind and to her right side. Her asshole and dilated shaven sex are clearly visible. The upturned soles of her feet. The side of one white breast flattened against a burgundy bedspread. Her face, but for one startlingly blue eye which seems to be staring not at the bedspread an inch away but inward, is hidden by outstretched arms and a sweep of black hair. The arms extend to wrists bound...
This is simply the prologue for an idea that I think would make a good story. The feedback will decide whether or not I pursue this further. There will not be much sex or action in this chapter, but if more chapters are requested they will be considerably more graphic. I've tried to write what I feel would be something that could, in a very crazy world, actually happen. If you enjoy and would like to read more please leave a comment.

Prologue Kabul, Afghanistan Leo Yamasato came through the door and looked into the eyes of the enemy with a calm he did not expect he possessed. He took several steps forward slowly and come to stop in the middle of the room. The door closed behind him, its light wood frame made almost no sound except the latch catching. Leo stood with feet just shoulder-width apart, as his glance captured every relevant detail of the 3 guards in the room all pointing an AK-47 at him… and the merc holding a...

Sugar Cane Revisited – The Prologue Obviously this adventure had to end sooner or later. Our host of characters can’t simply hang out on an island hideaway forever. As was pointed out, jobs and mortgages and all the other shit await!! Where will we go form here? Since much of this is pure fantasy, why not play with another fantasy that we all have from time to time. The fantasy of leaving it all behind. The fantasy that made that country song “Take this Job and Shove it”...
Prologue It happened by accident. But that is what they all say, right? I think of myself as a nice guy, but the list of those who would disagree gets longer every day. Every time I indulge the darkness within me, I end up with someone who despises me. It all started after my divorce. I was hurt by my ex-wife’s betrayal and I couldn’t think straight. At least that is what I tell myself so my conscience doesn’t eat me alive. Of course, that assumes I have a conscience. Based on what...

Prologue The creaking window sill did little to disguise the noises that erupted, like a flowing river of sound, from the room within. Gasps and groans could be heard from within. A male voice grunted as he released himself inside of his lover. Then, the woman followed suit with a gasp and moan of her own, also finding the heavenly release of orgasm. The night air was silent. The lovers lay in quiet contentment with their achieved feat. "Tarrin, my love, when must you return?" the...
A Beautiful Wish by 800ibgorrila Prologue Beyond the Cliffs of Torment there was nothing. The sunset cast its dying glow on the seas, crashing against the black volcanic rocks of the cliffs.

Any normal man would have stayed worlds away from this dreadful place, but Sir George of Battlehaven was no normal man. He fought in...

Prologue Gabriel entered the dimly lit room. Machinery whirred and blipped. His sweet grandmother lay in a nest of wires and tubes, her silver hair a frothy halo around her head. She looked so frail, this woman who’d raised him with an iron fist. She’d wiped his nose, swatted his behind when he misbehaved, and soothed his fears when the nightmares had threatened to overwhelm him. She’d been his rock, his fuel, backing him up in his crazy dreams of stardom until they became a reality. ...
Love StoriesPrologue Elyse waited patiently by the open trunk of the car as the boy placed the last bag of groceries inside. She found herself smiling, for no particular reason. The sun was warm on her face, and a slight breeze played with her hair, tickling her cheek, teasing her in and out of her daydream. The soft knit of the light sweater fell away from the firm swell of her breasts as she reached to close the trunk lid, then settled smoothly over them again as she turned to the boy to tip him. She...

Introduction:A short, vague beginning to a long seriesA word of warning: I am a very wordy writer and my stories are almost more about the stories and characters than the sex. If this isn't your cup of tea and you're looking for raunchy stories that get right into it, this story and others by me are not for you. This chapter is the prologue and is thus intentionally vague to begin with and somewhat heavy with exposition. I predict this series will go on for many, many chapters but I know it...
