Gideon tried to walk the straight and narrow path. He rose early for work each morning when there was work to be had. He did his best to busy himself with those things that decent people do.
It’s not that trouble had never found Gideon. It had. In fact, trouble had been a constant if mostly unwelcome companion for nearly all his twenty seven years. He had designedly sought it out in those heady, joyful, angry days when he thought, as all young men do, that he was invincible. Trouble, he learned, has a very long memory and is a difficult friend to lose.
My wife had passed away recently and left me with our two young c***dren. My busy schedule required that I hire a nanny to help raise the k**s. My work required alot of travel to Japan to conduct business so it followed that a Japanese nanny would be best to teach my k**s about that culture while I was working. My company wanted me to move there for a year. So, I inquired about such a nanny from a Japanese firm. They sent me a brochure of prospective nannies and as I leafed through it I came...

I can still recall my first few days of school at Williams H.S. I had just moved from out of state with my family in August and I was eager to meet new people. It was September now, nice and warm outside, I decided I would walk the first day, seeing as how it was so nice out. It seems I wasnt the only one with that idea as I was joined by a lot of other people. As I walked down the sidewalk I noticed 2 girls walking to school. I had seen them around the neighborhood but had never formally met...
EroticI sat at the desk, looking at the camera. ‘Good news! At least for me. I found two people to do my research.’ I paused. ‘Let me rephrase that. I had a lot of resumes sent to me, but these two took the initiative to hunt me down, and threatened me with bodily harm unless I hired them.’ ‘So welcome Josh and Amber to my project. I also got a bonus. Amber has a best friend, Sarah, who is a radio and television major. She came on board, convincing me I needed a producer/director, to keep me from...
Breaking Up And Making Up "Well, Nobody's Perfect!" Joe E. Brown "Some Like It Hot" Nikkie Silk Chapter One Danny stood at the bar and looked around the pub. It wasn't his usual, but this one had looked bright and warm from the outside on a gray, rainy day. The after work rush wouldn't start for a couple of hours or so yet, so there were only a few old boys who looked like regulars, nursing their pints and looking miserable, cursing the smoking ban. A couple at a table in the...

“EEEEEEEE!!!! It is beautiful,” She squealed with delight when the door swung open. He stepped back, placed his hand on the small of her back as she clapped and hopped through the doorway.Her hands fell to her side as she looked up, turned slowly and let out a low “ohhh”. Her eyes were twinkling and her smile lit up the already bright room. The cabin impressed her and she was literally speechless.She walked over to the large bay window that offered a view of a valley. Snow topped mountain...
Love StoriesI hope you all liked my previous parts of the story. Sorry for this story being so late. I was really busy at work these days could not take out much time. I’m really amazed at your compliments. Thank you so much, guys. I have got so much appreciation and nice comments from a lot of my readers. My name is Mahesh, 26 years old. And my pinni is a very hot lady with whom I’m enjoying my fucking right now. I will get into what happened next. It was a little after the party was over. After that...
IncestI had to change something, I knew, as I started a wank, my imagination flitting between Angie and Christina. I couldn’t bring them back here, because the other guys knew I was a teacher and they’d talk. I needed a flat, with its own entrance. The obvious option wasn’t an option, considering how my willpower had done so far. In the morning I started looking for a place, and luckily found one pretty quickly, on the top floor of a converted house, with a landlord who’d been holding out trying...
The Big Day had arrived. Meet the parents day for Paul. It was a Friday, and Lois had extracted solemn promises from both her father and her brother that they would leave work on time, so as not to delay dinner at 8 p.m. And she made clear that "on time" meant they'd be there early enough to sit down and meet Paul, at least briefly, before dinner. Her sister-in-law, Edwina, was fully engaged in the dinner preparations, along with Lois' mother, Prudence. There was a cook in the...
Why I Hate Magic Chapter 21 The first hour was easy. At Gloria's insistence, Daniel had changed out of the outfit he was wearing. She felt it was important to keep Daniel's mind off of his predicament and she felt that embracing his growing femininity was not the best way to fight the curse. Gloria was also slightly disturbed by the sight of the man she loved dressed in her dirty laundry. As Daniel took a cold shower, Gloria ventured out of the room to retrieve the food...
My mom’s friend, Charlotte, offered to take me to the gym with her. Charlotte is a few years younger than mom with a personality to match! She is 46, looks 25, acts 18… perfect! I’m 23, look 23, and I act 18. She was a freshman when my mom was a senior in college. They were best friends then and we’re best friends now. Charlotte never had kids, so when my brother Mike and I were younger, she bought the stuff our parents wish they could’ve bought us. Back then she was Aunty; now she’s Sis. Mike...
All of a sudden Anders fainted, Alex and Jacob hurried to pick him up. After sprinkling some water on his face he gained consciousness. Me: Thank god, are you feeling ok, now? Anders: Yes I guess. Alex: I guess you didn’t eat much today other than alcohol right? Anders: Ya I wasn’t in a mood to eat all day long. Me: I will take care of him Why don’t you guys go out and get something to eat for us? Alex: Sure, I’m starving too. Jacob and Alex went out to grab a bite, I started massaging...
As the evening progressed Mark and Susan continued to fuck each other to the point of collapse. Susan who wasn’t much of a drinker, usually, had finished three glasses of champagne and was feeling more than a little tipsy. This concerned Mark a little as she wasn’t known for staying awake when under the influence. “I want to go out!” she exclaimed slightly slurring her words. “Where do you want to go?” asked Mark with a slight hesitation in his voice. “A good bar that is close by with some...
Wife Lovers...is about to find out that fantasies do indeed go wrong sometimes... Her online nick name is Miss Disaster and he thinks it suits her perfectly. Not because she is clumsy, but because she brings destruction into his idyllic small town life (ok, maybe not so idyllic now, as he is on the verge of a divorce, partly thanks to this crazy one). More disturbingly, he welcomes the chaos that comes in the package with her. And only if he could just sit back and watch the destruction happen, but no,...

Our friend of over 25 years lives in the usa and whilst we often chat we dont get to see each other as often as we would like due to the distance and both being married and bringing up our k**s.Over the last few years he's been hooked on prescription painkillers due to a back injury, which has resulted in him not being able to get an erection. He says he has tried Viagra but in his words he may as well take a tic tac.Anyway it seems his lack of labido has caused his marriage to break down and...
The bar was crowded for a Thursday night; Liz didn't usually agree to go out on a night other than a Saturday, but she had been suffering through a rough start to the week and she would be working Friday and Saturday and she felt like she deserved the drink.Nathan told her to meet him at Spill, so she parked just outside of the city and changed her flats for three-inch heels. She adjusted her skirt to make sure it wasn't riding up - by some miracle it still covered her butt even after the...
SpankingChapter 1 Brian gives kissing lessonsSeveral years ago I had a job for a summer where I fed paper into various different kinds of printers at night. I worked with one other person. Her name was Sanya, she was 16, and very charming in her own special way. Normally because of her age she wouldn't have been able to work there, but the owner of the company was friends with her family. She had long brown hair. She was training to be a fireman. That's right, this young lady was going to be a fireman...
First TimeIt was almost 9pm now and I was getting desperate. I only had a few hours until I had to go to sleep. I couldn't miss work again tomorrow. I decided to end the weekend with a bang. Or more accurately, a gang bang. I made use of some of the backups I had been saving. I had about ten phone numbers of guys that had sent me cock pics, but I never hooked up with. I texted all of them, giving them the address and telling them to take a shower and show up at 11pm if they wanted to participate in...
100% fiction! Life has been surprising lately. School has been smooth. All my professors like me a lot and I can tell that I won't have to worry at all about class this semester. I am a junior at CSU in Colorado and I'm majoring in math. Terrible thing is that all the girls in my classes are nerdy and not at all attractive. I'm single, hate drunk party chicks and am horny as fuck. I can't seem to think about anything but sex, and it's been fucking with me. I had to leave class more than once to...
BisexualWhen Adam’s mother sat down and grabbed Maura’s hands, all that nervous excited energy inside Maura was witnessed. The girl was in the waiting room chair, clenching her teeth, bouncing her knees, and shaking her shoulders. She had to get out. She had to get back to Krysten’s. She had to have Adam with her. “He’ll be OK.” The mother said, brushing the girl’s hair back from her ear. “Yeah he’s fine.” Maura nodded. “I wanna--” “Young lady, I am his mother.” She warned. Maura nodded, uncaring....
Simon had called a meeting of the Council to discuss with our allies where best to prosecute the war against the Nephilim and Daoine Sidhe. It had been a freewheeling debate and at times quite acrimonious, although our allies didn’t seem to mind too much as the Council hadn’t shown itself up to any extent. Towards the end of the debate, there was silence as the Council members and our various allies contemplated the plans before us for the invasion of the Outer Realms. “Much as it pains me...
Dear Willow and family, I got your letter that you wrote just after the one from Phoebe just after I posted my reply to Phoebe (though I did address it to you) I'm hoping that this missive finds you well. Gods what a mess an incompetent commander can make of things! My only hope is that the general or admiral in the area relieves the good colonel of his command. I hope that my asking questions about how your fight is going doesn't distract you from what you need to do. I also hope that my...
I decided to make an Evangelion lemon instead of Digimon lemon, because my style of writing better suits the psychotic atmosphere of Eva. Besides, I love the series. Oh yeah, this mixes the final episodes and End of Evangelion, with me approaching the story’s conclusion in a rather different way than in the series while still trying to remain close to the original. Due to the rules however, I had to water some things up, which I’m really sorry about. Prologue: Shinji has sunk to a new...

T here is a knock at the door. You are exactly on time, down to the minute. As expected. I let you wait a short while, thinking of how the anticipation must be affecting you - as it is affecting me. I open the door and smile at you, taking in your beauty. For a moment it is tender as I gently grab your hand and lead you inside. As the lock on the door clicks into place behind you, though, I can no longer hold back. I grab you by your hair and push you against the wall. "Did you follow all the...
BDSMBack at my old job I worked with many different people. One in particular was a guy who was pretty straight forward and open with just about anything. Nothing was off limits. We'd make jokes about everything. He of course had a gf who also worked with us, and I myself had a gf. One time his gf wasn't around and we ended up talking about her. He talked about how she sucked his cock. How they experimented and how he had to show her how to suck his cock. Cupping his mouth jokingly. I jokingly...
I removed the story and am reposting it. My computer reverted back to an unedited version when I posted before. TV “Service” man.Ah, to be young again...….I was trained in electronics inn a Technical High School in an older northern city, very religious and Victorian. Read-- Prudish, or as I found out later, prudes OUTSIDE the homes. Me: 5-7, 145, and average in ALL respects. I did have very thick glasses, like the stereotype Japanese man. Other than that, I have been told I am good looking...
Your name is John Doe. You are now eighteen years old and a senior attending the high school known as Konoha Jounin High (Konoha's middle school is called Konoha Chuunin Middle School and elementary being Konoha Genin Elementary school and so on) and this just so happens to be your graduating year. You pretty much are living a great life as a teen. You are a pretty popular guy and most girls in town have a crush on you, in fact, you, Naruto, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Neji, and Kiba are the most...
I fondly remember the Baker twins. They were a pair of fantastic looking girls. Nice and tall and well built with tits that just screamed out for attention. Their long legs appeared to end with a meaty, juicy pussy and nice round figure skater asses. Not that we thought much about their asses beyond looking at them of course. HaHa. The “we” here are me, Bob, and my buddy Glen. Unfortunately the Bakers girls were also the consummate cock teasers. While they would always seem to want to move...
The first time I sucked a cock was when I was forty eight. I’d always been drawn to men, but because of society's attitude towards homosexuals and my strong religious background I suppress the urges. I kept telling myself that it was just a passing phase and that if I ignored it, it would go away. I was a volunteer tutor with the college athletic program. To keep them eligible for sports I helped both young men and women with their studies. Over all the years that I volunteered there was never...
First TimeNote : This story is completely fictional! My name is John, I am 18 years old and I live with my 36 year old mom. Her second marriage failed and with no money we are staying with her 26 year old friend Becky she knew from work. We must sleep in the full size bed in the guest room and share every inch of space we got. When it's time for bed I just wear my gym shorts, while she wears a big shirt with just panties. Not even a bra to hold her 36 DDs. But I never thought about it, until that night....
IncestChapter 1The room was crowded with furniture, mainly old, leather-bound chairs. Thecoals from a log fire gave out a glow. In front of the hearth was a long, lowcouch with no back to it. A man in his early thirties, tall but thin, lay onit. Upon his chest and stomach sat Kath, a large, fat woman perhaps ten yearshis senior. She had short, dark hair, a strong upper body. With her thighs spread apartshe looked relaxed and self assured, as though this was a familiar positionto her. The man under...
"Uhhhhh... owwwww! Oh, it hurts! It hurts! Please, don't." "Christ, you're gonna bring down the cops if you keep yellin' like that," David warned. "I don't care. You're hurting me!" Annette cried, tears blinding her vision. "Damn it. Gonna have to choke you before I stick this mother all the way in." He rubbed his fat cockhead up against her shitter lips, bracing his prick with one hand while still holding onto her thighs with the other. When the pressure increased and her...

Hans and my marines lowered their weapons and I could see the projector heads of Directed Energy cannons appear out of the smooth skin of the Silver Streak. I said into my communicator. “Stand down, the Y’All are with us.

Three of them need immideate medical attention. “To the unharmed Y’All who had sort of taken...
The next week they met ‘by accident’ as they shopped at about the same time as usual. As it happened she was not averse to meeting him again as he seemed a nice, respectable and respectful person. In her straitened circumstances she never went out and so never met anyone to talk to from one week’s end to the next. Besides that he had paid for last weeks’ groceries, seeming not to notice the cost, and she was becoming desperate for funds. For his part David was definitely interested in...
Living in Miami in her thirties, Lyla made great money as an established fitness trainer. Working with professionals who held lucrative positions, Lyla had a long list of getting people into shape. Lyla herself was quite the looker with nicely trimmed abs but her overall appearance was arousing to the eye. Having brown hair, nicely trimmed abs, and the same exact face as Jilian Michaels there was only one thing that separated Lyla from the celebrity, the fact that she was five-foot-ten. One of...

As the applause died down, I took a seat on the table’s bench next to Sheila and tried to relax. I felt like I had just run a marathon. Darlene gave me a warm hug and a glass of cold water and sat with me. I don’t know which I appreciated more; her company, the hug, or the beverage. I guzzled the water down in one long gulp. Public speaking is lonely and thirsty work. The sisters stopped by in ones and twos to exchange small talk with Sheila before retiring for the evening. That was the...
I rolled over and opened my eyes, expecting to see Daddy’s handsome, restful face, but I snapped awake when I saw that resting on his pillow instead was the thick, wooden frat paddle. I blinked awake and ran my hand over its smooth surface. Daddy rarely used it on me and I did a quick memory scan to try to find some infraction that would warrant punishment with it. I felt I had been good lately. I had done my chores and my exercise. A shiver went through me as I realized that soon the smooth...
A little Tail - Part 2 By Lexi Lee Get Away I took my share of the Steven money (Micki said we only got $15000.00 I think she got more) and I went on a vacation. Hawaii! It was a long flight to paradise and I was stuck between Joe businessman and some housewife. I thought this was going to be a boring 12 hour flight. Wrong. Planes have unisex bathrooms and waiting in line is where I met Tom. I liked him from the moment I met him. He was funny, attentive and good looking....

‘Jack boy, you have so nailed this,’ John Michael Robertson, Jack to his friends, thought to himself as he finished reading the report on his computer screen for the third time. A recent graduate ofNorthernCaliforniaState, the twenty-one year old was one of six interns vying for a permanent position atCornwall, Dunmoreand Frost, and while his performance the last few months had made him the front runner, one other candidate, Rebecca Blackwood, had turned in equally impressive work. It was all...
Sadly thoughts of Miss Harcourt leapt into my consciousness at the most inopportune moments and so when I set to sorting out father's accounts it was of no surprise that the name Harcourt at once jumped out at me. It was when I selected the ledger from a year ago by mistake, a payment in the name of Harcourt, from Messrs Newboulton and Biggin,and quite a considerable sum paid at the very end of July. No such entry appeared for the last year but identical ones for the prior year and...
I was at a fraternity party with Cellie, a casual fuck-buddy. We partied and screwed intermittently but didn’t call ourselves boyfriend/girlfriend. I wasn’t a member of the place but a friend of mine was. It was late and we’d been drinking and smoking so looked for a secluded spot to tear off a quickie. Cellie had already gone commando under her skirt. I don’t hold back long when I’m lit so shot my wad and left her there to take a much-needed piss. When I returned, she was laying where I left...
Induction!Di was bored, work was its usual mind numbing self and her mind kept drifting to the fun of last weekend. As she entered yet more numbers in the computer she squirmed slightly as she remembered he had hit that particular spot perfectly.'I wonder if I can sneak off to the loos' she thought.She looked around, her bitch of a supervisor Sharon has just come out of her small office and was looking around menacingly.Diane! could I have a word please. Di, sauntered over, 'Yes she muttered...
Hi this is Chandu again. You know me by first story of Sex with My Pinni and today I am going to narrate my part-II of this story as in the previous story I have said that I didn’t had sex with her but only she used to masturbate for me. But in this narration and in the second part I had sex with her, though it was somewhat difficult for me as it was for the first time for me. You know that her name is Renuka(now name changed) and her age is now 36 years and figure is 36-36-38 and height5.4feet...
“Mr. Chandler!!!!” Todd turned at hearing his name called. A sixteen year old beauty was facing him. Wholesome good looks, perky breasts, and a tiny waist perched atop a delightful bubble butt, tapering down to a pair of gorgeous gams, aptly displayed by her Daisy Dukes. Her low slung shorts exposed her hip bones, and her belly shirt showed off her tight stomach. Her belly button peeked out of the bottom of her shirt. She showed off a deep summer tan. But not that he would notice that sort of...
What the hell did I just do? I feel like such a dirty slut; like I will never be clean again. But I'm getting ahead of myself.I had this crazy dream last week that I couldn't stop thinking about. I had met an older stranger and he gave me the best sex of my life. I couldn't forget it and it made me horny for days. That's why, out of curiosity, I looked at the personal ads on Craigslist to see if there was anyone out there looking for something like me. I responded to a few ads, mostly just ugly...

This is a sequel to Airgasms Before Orgasms and you will miss much if you haven't read that. "Just you, me, and the sky then." "I like the sound of that." "Does that mean I can bum a ride back to town with you tomorrow?" I knew right after I said it that something was wrong. Randi tensed up like she'd just heard a pilot say, "Oh shit." She rolled off me and turned her back to me and I could sense the heat getting sucked out of her opinion of me. "Hey. What did I say?" "It's nothing." "It's not...
Love StoriesShe stood in front of the bathroom mirror and flicked the brush through her hair. Katie had always been proud of her hair. It had been cut short when she was a teenager and she had cried for weeks, swearing to never again cut it so short. It now fell to the middle of her back although she had had it thinned out a month ago. She stared at the white, satin blouse. She had dressed carefully that morning, ready for another Sunday morning in church. The collar ties had been slowly tied and the...
JR released her hand to give hugs to both of his puzzled grandparents before taking it again and introducing her. “Grandma and Grandpa, I would like you to meet my girlfriend, Rochelle Preston. Rockie, these are my grandparents.” At his introduction of her as his girlfriend, words momentarily caught in her throat, but she smiled and shook their offered hands until she was able to speak again. “I am very honored and pleased to meet both of you,” she said. Mrs. Harper ushered them all into...
'Waking up' with a beach outside your bedroom door can have a major impact on your world view, especially when you live at the base of a small mountain range 80 miles from the nearest ocean. Having your teenage son lead you out onto that beach with your daughter and her best friend waiting for you can be a bit of an eye-opener. Getting a hug from an eight-year-old girl you've never met but that you know is actually a 20-year-old woman in a coma -- that tends to put big dents in your...
