Visiting Ms Payne

Following my first encounter with Jane and Andy I was a little wary how things would be between us at work. I shouldn’t have worried as the next time I was in work with Jane she was hornier than ever, telling me how much herself and Andy had enjoyed the other night. She asked if I liked it and if I would like to meet up again, I jumped at the chance as Andy had aroused my curiousity in my bisexual side. Jane asked if I was free at the weekend to which I replied yes, so it was arranged that I would be at their house for around 9pm on the Saturday evening.
Saturday seemed to take ages to come around and my mind was in overdrive as to what it could bring, but eventually the time came and I arrived at Jane and Andy’s at five past ten (it’s fashionable to be late!).
I rang the doorbell and was greeted by Jane in a short black skirt, boots and stockings with a tight white top which showed off her ample tits. She greeted me and showed me to the lounge which was in pitch black darkness, I could just make out a naked figure of a man sat on a chair blindfolded in the middle of the room, this I presumed was Andy. Jane guided me to a sofa nearby and told me to take a seat, she then turned the light up just a shade with the dimmer switch on the far wall. Now I could see that it was indeed Andy, sat with his arms and feet bound to a dining chair, with what looked to be a stocking being used to blindfold him. Jane looked at me and told me to enjoy the show for a while and with that she proceeded to put on a pair of sheer gloves. Then Jayne passed me a bottle of what looked like baby oil, put out the palms of her hands and asked me to do the honours. I squirted a fair amount on to her hands and she wheeled away and knelt before Andy, sliding her hand up and down the shaft of his cock. He gasped as she did asking here to go faster, Jane replied that she was in charge and immediately stopped.
Jayne rose to her feet and stood directly behind Andy, whispering into his ear, what she whispered I don’t know but his cock seemed to grow another inch when she did! She then walked over and straddled me, kissing my neck and and reaching for my cock. I half jumped when I felt the oil being massaged into my ball sack and the shaft of my cock with Jane slowly starting to wank me as she did. She told me to stand up and as I did she stepped me out of my jeans and boxers, and then removed my shirt leaving my body exposed to her.
She positioned herself behind me as she had with Andy, but this time her right hand was wanking me, slowly at first, as she did the forefinger of her left hand found its way to my arse rim. Gently she started to finger my arse with her gloved hand, as I groaned in pleasure she laughed and called me a dirty boy. Jane then led me over to kneel in front of Andy, still fingering me, twisting her finger as she did to open my arse just that bit wider. Then with her other hand she guided my head towards Andy’s hard cock, which I took in my mouth and started to suck. I could feel his cock pulse in excitement as Jane told him I was sucking him off and she was fingering me.
After a while I felt Jane pull her finger out of my arse and heard her walk out of the room, Andy meanwhile told me to keep sucking, so I obliged by giving him deep stokes that made me gag. I started to fondle his balls as I sucked and told him I loved sucking on his cock, It seemed Andy liked dirty talk for when I mentioned this his body quivered so I continued to tell him how i’d like to take all of his hot load and swallow it. With this Andy came, struggling as he was restrained by the bindings, and filling my mouth with his hot load. I must admit I had to swallow once to fit it all in my mouth, but I kept bobbing right through Dave cuming, making sure I fully emptied him.
As I was sucking and licking off the last residues of cum I heard Jane come back into the room. I felt her hands on my hips as she guided me over to the end of the sofa, she then bent me over and parted my legs. Jane then walked over to Dave and released him from his bindings, telling him to stay put and watch. Then Jane positioned herself behind me again and I heard her fiddling with a belt of some sort and then her hand rubbing a cold gel into and around my arse. This got me really excited and I yelled out half in pleasure and half in pain as I felt the head of what was Jane’s dildo enter me. She told me to relax as she eased the rest of it inside me, I could hear the lubrication as she slowly withdrew to the head again and then repeated the process. Her hands had a firm grip of my hips, mine had a firm grip of the sofa!
After a while the pain part seemed to ease and sensing this Jane started to up the pace, I could feel and hear her thighs slapping off the cheeks of my arse as she started to pump me firmly. Dave was encouraging her and Jane was yelling how tight I was which seemed to turn her on no end. I was loving it, I wanted Jane to fuck me harder and told her so, and I started to push back onto the dildo. Jane withdrew and sat on the sofa, telling me to straddle and face her while she lowered me onto what looked to be a 6 inch shaft. This seemed tighter and again hurt at first, but once in the correct position I started to ride Jane as she again started to wank my cock. This time Jane was wanking me with force and the combination of riding and being wanked was intense. I was about to cum when Jane stopped she pushed me off and lay on all fours in front of me, telling me that she wanted me to spunk in her. My cock entered Jane with no problem as she was so wet it was unreal. She begged for my cum at every stroke and asked me to play with her arse like she had with mine, whilst in the meantime Dave moved in front of her and she started to suck his ball sack. I stuck my thumb inside Jane’s arse as I fucked her hard, quivering as my body prepared to cum, sensing this Jane started to buck too. I felt her pussy lips tighten around my shaft as I filled her pussy and she screamed out how she loved me to fuck her whilst she also came.
All that was left was for Dave to clean up, sucking me and then licking out Jane. It was late and we went to bed although I slept with Jane and Dave slept downstairs which would lead to my first solo fuck of the woman I worked with.
"Yes," the housewife said, "Would you like one?" She handed him the coffe and leaned back against the doorway. She wore capris and a modest short-sleeved button-down blouse. He had on his dirty jeans and t-shirt which clung to his tight, muscular torso; he was not your average plumber. Just then the doorbell rang. "That'll be him now," the workman said, and she went to answer the door. While she was gone he pulled a small packet out of his back pocket and emptied the contents into...

Hello guys, this is Amit once again with my latest escapade. I have been a marketing professional and hence interacted with many media and PR agencies. During one of the events, I got in touch with Payal, who was leading the PR for that event. It was me who would instruct her to carry out certain tasks and she would adhere to it. We hardly spoke out of work and the interaction was strictly professional. Payal was a good looking girl with sharp features, dreamy eyes, about 5.6 in height with a...

I got married three years ago to a beautiful Payal. She wasn’t kind of pin up girl but she surely is a kind of woman men would wish to have her once in life. She looked amazing in salwar as well as in sarees. We used to go on a drive after our engagement. I remember those goose bumps when I first touched her thighs during our drive. Our first night was the time when I saw her completely naked. I couldn’t believe my luck as i saw her naked, those brown erect nipples which were so chewable. I...

When I was in my early twenties I was working for a travel agency in my local high street. I was the only male and enjoyed the attention from the range of women working there. There were two girls my age and the rest were thirty plus. The person I got on best with was a woman named Jane, who knew no bounds when it came to flirting, she was 36 and married to Andy. The flirting was the usual stuff, a bit of office banter, until one day when we had to do a late shift and lock up together. At 9pm...
BisexualII. The good man hard to find. Marcia was soaping the morning coffee carafes in the back room when she heard the jangle of the bells and Walt's cheery "hello." She smiled as she continued to scrub away at the indestructible orange ring at the bottom of the pot, listening to the flirtatious interplay between Walt and Grace, as regular and satisfying as a ritual. At last, Marcia dried her hands on the dish towel. She poked her head around the corner to say "hi." "Hey there," Walt...
Steam was King! Steam was clean, the cheap power to the masses. From the end of the nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth century, steam drove everything. And in that time, inventions were all powered by steam.Big and small, steam was there, the driving force of all industry. And along with steam came the fashions of the time, heavy calico shirts, and dresses, corsets, and trusses for the bodies, hobnail boots, and woollen stockings, all were there. And controlling it all was the vast...
SteampunkGENTLEMEN’S CLUB RENDEVOUZNOT BASED ON A TRUE STORY IT IS FICTIONOne day, I woke up from a sexy dream and said to myself there is something that I want to do out the ordinary that no one would have never thought that I would never do. That fantasy is to visit a high-end gentlemen’s club in mid-downtown DC‘s business district. I have always been this ‘good girl’ always expect to do the right thing and follow the rules. Some say that I am somewhat prudish and on a conservative side. I want to...
Author’s Notes: ‘Patchwork Knight’ is set in the Sweet Dreams universe, but is otherwise a standalone story. *** ‘Patchwork Knight’ *** Does everyone remember their first crush with such clarity? Forgetting his is impossible, and if he were honest with himself, he would acknowledge that she is the standard by which every other woman that he has admired or dated is judged, and has found them lacking. He knew that he was not the only one who fell in love with her in those glory days of high...

I've been having gay sex with my coworker, we both have gfs but love gay sex, and thought that would be the only affair we'd ever have, but we would be in for another twist. One day while hanging out he ended up telling me that something recently happened. I asked him what it was and to cut to the chase. He said that my gf had been messaging him and that eventually she started flirting with him. He told me he felt like she was definitely coming onto him. I told him it really didn't bother me....
This happened about 18 months after I caught my wife with Butch our shepard and black mailed her into being my sex slut. It was Friday and Judith asked if we could go out and I said sure it would be fun to go out for some drinks. Judith dressed in a pink half bra and a thong, thin white bottom up blouse and a short black skirt with black heeled boots. Her double D tits sat nicely in her bra and their dark nipples shown through her blouse, she was hot and damn lovely as always. She...
It seems ages since I submitted my last story, but we have been very busy of late. Kelly and I have our own business, and it takes us into Europe fairly regularly. We are just back from a spell in Berlin and Milan. In the present economic climate we are happy to be kept busy. It wasn’t all work though. Kelly added two more gang-bangs to her extensive collection. A German four-cock session, and an Italian/Arab six-cock party on the beach! I will tell you all about them in the future, but now...
Kitty shut her eyes, she could do this. A bead of sweat slowly trickled down in between her breasts. She was desperate. She needed the money or she would be out on the streets. All her options were now gone, she had tried everything. The music started. It was time. The thumping beat was enticing, it ran through Kitty. The music comforted her and buzzed through her at the same time. The lights were low as she stepped out in front of the crowd. The music pumped up and the lights started as...
ExhibitionismI kinda knew Trisha Paytas from YouTube but I hadn't really paid much attention to her videos but I knew she was a big girl and I knew that I found her attractive and I thought that she was kinda hot and she was confident with her figure, which I found to be a turn on for me and I never thought that I'd meet her in person.One day I had found a wine bar that I'd never been into before and so I thought that I'd give it a go. I had a few glasses of fancy wine to wet my whistle. After a while a...

The wave crushed my body against the surfboard, and I felt how I began to slide off it into the sea. I came up spitting and coughing a few yards away feeling the adrenaline coursing through my body. I looked up and saw John surfing a wave and he made it all the way to the beach before he simply stepped off the board and picked it up. I took mine under my arm and began wading through the water towards the beach.“Dude, you look like an elephant on that board,” said John and handed me a bottle of...
Straight SexAs the majority partner of a syndicate that owned a floating casino moored permanently on the banks of the Mississippi, I was also the primary operations manager. Most of my partners were silent types that only came out of the woodwork when it was time to rake off their pro rata share of the profits. Other than that and an occasional meeting to discuss possible changes in the future, they let me run the show. Quite a show it was, too. Situated almost equidistant between two major cities and...
I SWAM UP OUT OF MY SLEEP more easily this morning. Either the painkillers they had me on were working or I was feeling better. I opened my eyes and they focused slowly on the red hair and freckled face of Jordan Grant. “Damn,” I said. “I was getting used to beautiful women waking me up.” “You’re welcome,” he said. “I assume that was a thank you for saving your wretched hide Sunday.” “It was,” I moaned. “And for saving Riley.” “That was an unexpected bonus. She is one hot...” he broke...
As Trevor looked in horror at the gaping vagina before him, the same one he had impotently obsessed over and fantasized about for so many years, he couldn't help but think: where had everything gone so very wrong? Yes, the vagina looked immaculate, even better in real life than it had through the LCD screens that had been his only window to it up until now. But there was a problem - he was only a few inches high, having been shrunk just moments before through forces unknown. And the...
Have you ever heard about My Free Paysite? Well, now you have, and there are a couple of reasons I decided to tell you about this place. Now, if you have already visited the site, you might be thinking “Why the fuck are you reviewing this place”, but the answer is quite simple; because I think it’s worth to review, and that is the only crap that matters.However, I must say that the person who created the site has probably just come out of the programming school, because that is literally how...
Free Porn Tube SitesAre you ready for some Black Payback? Before you answer that, I should warn you this ain’t your typical premium interracial site. They say that payback is a bitch, but I’d argue that the girls on the receiving end of these BBCs are more worthy of the name. If you’re looking for tales of romantic jungle fever, you’re wandering around in the wrong part of the hood. This is hardcore sexual payback, end of story. Get ready for some motherfucking reparations.BlackPayback.com has been hawking their...
Premium Interracial Porn SitesWorkplace Standards By Monsta I awoke to the slight shaking of the bed. I groggily looked at the alarm clock through my blurry sleep crusted eyes and saw it was 3:12am. After waking up a bit more and getting my bearings about me I realized the bed's motion was the result of my wife Ellen masturbating. I lay in bed motionless, pretending to be asleep. If she knew I was awake she might try to involve me, and at 3:13am I just wanted to sleep. My wife's sex drive was way higher than...
No one really cared who was giving the workshop instructions. All they knew is that it was some gal and that she had prepared a few hours of instructions and slides and a film to watch and they didn’t really want to be there all day. The table she sat at on the stage was about 8’ long, just like one of those banquet tables that fold up. Covering it was a black velvet type material with pleated sides and a nice smooth top. On the front of it was a sign that described the workshop itinerary....

Part 1 of how sex can span the generations: I thought I saw her in the supermarket. She checked out just ahead of me and I caught up with her in the car park. ‘Beth’? She was loading her shopping in the boot of her car and turned towards me. It was then I knew for sure it was her. She didn’t seem to recognise me at first; not surprising as I’d switched from contact lenses to specs, grown a beard and managed to lose a few pounds. (I used to socialise with her parents and it was through them I...
Severance Pay PROLOGUE The radio clipped to my pants pocket beeped several times before I could put down the slice of pizza and wipe my hands. Pulling the radio free, I pressed the 'talk' button. "Yeah" I said, shoving the last bite of pizza to the side of my mouth so I could talk. "Andy, get over to dock six. We may need a ruling." "A big one?" "So they say." "Do I have time to finish my lunch?" "If you can do it in ten minutes." Damn it. "Okay, I'm on my...
Introduction: The week takes some fun turns Part 2 of a 3 part series. Please read part one first, as it sets the base story for the other two. If accepted as well as part one, part two will be shortly followed by the last of the trilogy. Again, these events are virtually true, merely intensified for dramatic effect. Megan awoke grogily, stretching accross the bed, only to find herself alone. Her mind slowly waking up, she could smell a distinct mixture of bacon and maple syrup. Living off pop...
Workplace Standards 2 By Monsta My wife Ellen and I were having a bit of an argument. Nothing serious, just one of those grocery store arguments long term couples tend to get into. Ellen wanted to get the "organic" milk, whereas I thought paying an extra $2 per gallon for milk was silly. Ellen seemed to get offended that I didn't "respect her opinion" and, well, bickering ensued. Unfortunately, we were right in the middle of that bickering when we rounded the corner and I ran into a...
Unfortunate for me, my first wife was a bit monogamously challenged. I knew she was a DTF girl before we married, in fact, that was some of the attraction, but after finding evidence of infidelity a few times, I drew a line in the sand that unfortunately she crossed. The thing with her, is that alcohol always lowered her inhibitions quickly and made her extremely horny. She told me stories about being drunk and fucking multiple guys after a party, multiple one night stands, sucking off two...

Erotic‘Shit! Shit! Shit!’ Tina thought as she stomped into the kitchen. ‘This sucks!’ She was hornier than she had been in weeks, and she couldn’t get any relief. She had gotten everything set up to have a threesome with Sarah and Stan that afternoon, but the whole plan collapsed when her mother, Angela, had come home early. It wasn’t that Angela had any objections. It turned out that Tina’s mother was having an affair with Stan and Tina’s little get together had prevented Stan and Angela from...

IV. The big fat middle of nothing. Outside the bus window the night was something solid and impenetrable, not a star to be seen, only an occasional porch light burning on some farmhouse miles in the distance. For hours now they'd been passing through endless blind tracts of dark country, where shockingly few people lived, but Phoebe could still feel the cows out there in the night, watching, chewing, uncomprehending. Cows, cows, and more cows, that was her impression of the great...
V. The diner on memory lane. The last time Marcia had spoken to anyone in her family it was to her brother Matt. That would be winter five years ago. They met in a 24-hour diner by the side of a highway in Metuchen, New Jersey. Pointedly, it was a restaurant Matt had never visited and no doubt never intended to visit again. Through a series of emails and two brief phone calls, she had explained the general situation and Matt's reaction had grudgingly advanced from "this has got to be...
VI. The perfect pie crust. The windows were dark, covered with condensation. Inside, at the kitchen table, Marcia pressed the heel of her hand against the back of the santoku knife and cleaved the apple in half. Fuji, this time. There were five other apples prepared on the cutting board, skinned an unearthly greenish-white, already tarnishing. She was making an apple pie for the Blue Cat. "I still don't understand," Grace had said. "What you've got against birthdays. What's so...
VII. A bicycle built for two. Everyman's Cycles looked like a bicycle field hospital. Wherever you looked bicycles, or parts of bicycles, stood, leaned, or lay in various states of distress, awaiting Walt's attention. He'd get to each of them, eventually, in his methodical, patient way. Walt took in stray bicycles the way crazy old ladies collected cats. Most of them were rescues. Bicycles he found abandoned in fields, weeds growing through their spokes. Or locked for months to streets...
VIII. Snowballs in paradise. Grace was unpacking a snow-globe collection from all fifty states that Mavis Pritchard had brought into the shop the day before. "Look at this," she said, holding one up with a hula girl and a palm tree inside. "There's even one from Hawaii. "Hmph. Snow in Hawaii. Who would imagine something like that?" "Someone who'd never been to Hawaii?" Marcia suggested. Grace turned the globe over. "Made in China. Well that explains it, I guess." She gave it...
IX. The momster. Her whole life Phoebe's biggest fear was that her Mom would die suddenly and without warning. Even as a little girl, she was kept awake with nightmares that seemed to foretell his horrible event in detail. She remembered anxiously watching her mom sleep, afraid that she might stop breathing, nudging her awake just in case. How cranky she would be! "What!" she'd bark, snorting and spluttering. "What's the matter with you? What time is it? Why aren't you in bed?" It...
X. The amoeba life. In the stories of people she admired, there was always a defining moment, a dramatic event that summed up their lives to a critical point and provided the pivot for a new life to come. Marcia would like to have had a similar "defining moment" in her life, but it struck her that her life not only lacked a defining moment, but that it really didn't have any definition at all. It was a more amorphous thing, her life; if it advanced, and that was often in doubt, it...
XI. A ghost and a riddle. Night again. Bus travel made her sleepy, but only during the day it seemed. She traveled through the night hours wide awake.

XIV. Gimme shelter. "You live in a garage?" They were standing on the little concrete square outside the front door, staring up together at a tidy two story structure that, modifications notwithstanding, still, in fact, looked very much like a garage. "Well, it's not exactly a garage. Actually, It's a converted carriage house. I'm just renting. The woman I work for owns it. She lives in the main house across the garden." "A carriage house?
