I’m already smiling as I knock on your door.
‘I wonder how you will react to what I have planned for you,’ I had said teasingly during the phone call earlier in the week, wanting your imagination to work overtime. ‘You should know me well by now, it’s always a surprise, a good surprise.’
You open the door and stand there smiling, a questioning look on your face. I show you the bottle of champagne, condensation covering the cold green glass in blisters of water. You follow me into the kitchen, I put it in the fridge with a wink, you frown, and I tell you it’s for later.
This is a work of fiction… I twiddled my thumbs in anticipation of my next lesson. It was with Mr. Kain, all round love god. He was gorgeous with a capital ‘G’. BERRINNG The bell rang and I leapt out of my seat and sprinted towards the door. My name is Daisy Young and I am 18 years old, just about to finish college and go off to university. I have long silvery blonde hair which is usually tied back in a loose bun. I have 34D breasts which suit my athletic frame. A voice interrupted my...
I met Laura in a hotel bar, while I was staying in a different city for a short course. It was she who approached me and ever since I've wondered whether she knew somehow that I was interested in gender issues, indeed a transgender fantasist. She never mentioned it at the bar. We got on like a proverbial house on fire, so I invited her up to my room. It was while I was opening a condom packet that she said casually, "You'll get infected anyway, you know." And then, on my startled...
Zodiac Coin: Aquarius By JRD 2300 YEARS AGO... He was smith to the king, working metal at the king's command. Most of what he did was supervise the other smiths working in the castle. Most of the work that they did was in the form of shoeing horses or fixing the metal tools from the castle, although the castle forges had more than their fair share of swords, breastplates, and helmets to work on. Occasionally, however, the king would make a special request, and when...
After the successful phone call to Colin, Shannon was on cloud ten as we tramped through the deepening snow with the saw horses. Well, I carried the barricades; she badgered me about not being allowed to help. “They’re not that heavy,” I dismissed. “Which is why you should let me carry one!” “They’re crazy heavy,” I amended quickly, pretending to stagger. “This isn’t the eighteen-thirties, Matt. Chivalry is pretty much dead.” “Says the girl who dances in a show where there is literally a...
In the darkness I felt Holly slide against me, and her soft skin pressing against mine as we shared a kiss. I had already decided in my mind that whatever she wanted this night, I would do. As our tongues caressed and her hand moved down to caress my bottom and pull our bodies tighter together I reminded myself that I had made no promises to Jacki about not doing anything. In fact, she had pretty much encouraged me to do whatever I wanted. And I let my hands caress Holly’s back and bottom,...
“Again. That’s so awesome, sweetie! I’m so proud of you,” the long-term partner beamed.“Thanks, girl! I couldn’t do it without you,” remarked the gravelly voice.“Are you happy?”“Hell yeah! My first tour!”“I know. It’s amazing!”“Let’s go out to dinner tonight.”“Sure! Where?”“You pick!”“Mexican.”“Bet!”“I gotta get back to work, love!”“Alright. Bye!”Kaleena Edmonds felt good when she ended the call. She had been dating D.A. for a little over seven years now. She supported his dream of being an...
It was now Jeff's...or as he would be known to his students as, Mr. Winger's second day of teaching. Even though Greendale was a rundown, fairly crappy joke of a community college, Jeff had to admit it had done a lot for him. Not only was he able to complete his bachelor's degree and able to actually become a lawyer, he had also gained a core group of friends that made him a much better person. Greendale wasn't done with the tall, good-looking man just yet though. After a failed attempt at...
Doctoral DisciplineChapter 1:?Miss McLean... Miss Mclean... MISS McLEAN??Huh, what... oh sorry Professor Matthews??Did you enjoy your nap Miss McLean?? asked Professor Matthews with a smirk on his face.?I’m really sorry Sir, it won’t happen again? I said as I rubbed my eyes and looked at the clock. Ugh, still 30 minutes of class left. ...The bell rang and I leaned over to pack up my books. As I was placing my books in my bag I felt and hand rest firmly on my shoulder. ?Miss McLean, I would like...

“Ufffffff………ahhhhh…….ummmmmm…..dheere karo…ufffff…….ummmmm” muffling sounds were coming from my mom’s room which woke me up.I got up hurriedly and checked my phone, it was 2:20 am and it was my mom’s birthday today.

I tried to wake Arjun, “Arjun…..Arjun..abey saale uth. Mom ka birthday he aaj surprise dena...
With a sigh the twenty-seven year old walked down the sidewalk to his mother. He could tell by her expression she was not very happy right now. "Yes mom" Matt said. "It's a motorcycle." "You know how I feel about these things" his mother continued to scowl. "I know" Matt sighed. "Look, I wear a helmet, I took every safety course." He told his mother. "I'm twenty-seven mom, and I LIKE riding OK." Jill sighed heavily. She knew her son was a man now. God forbid his physical...
Jo said, "I'm going to stay here. There's some things I'd like to get straight with Him/Her/It/Whatever." "Whooo boy! I'm glad I'm not in your shoes!" Vickie said, "she's as bad as a mom." Kurt, the Cheese and Vickie nodded like the wood bird on the edge of a glass of water ... nod nod nod. They stepped onto the carpet. Cheese asked, "who is going to drive?" "Not me," from Vickie. "Nope, me neither," Kurt said. "Don't look at me, I don't have a carpet license,"...
My husband's manager arrived from Saudi Arabia and arranged to stay with us in the spare room here in our apartment in London, mainly to sort out the business which was not doing well. He was much older than me. I am only in my late thirties, he was about fifty. I didn't get along with him at all, and hardly said a word to him, but each morning, after my husband had gone to work I would begin the day by going into the room where he was sleeping and open the curtains, because he started at the...

Luke was pleased with the way his boys were turning out. Dick was going to be the intellectual one. He knew that already. In fact, he thought it might be kind of nice to have a lawyer in the family. He had always been a little worried about Dan. Things seemed to have come too easily to his handsome first son. Dan had grown up with the adulation of high school cheerleaders and football groupies. Though he had won a football scholarship to college, he had never paid much attention to books. As...

"Horatio, you have given us a couple of very powerful tools and we thank you." "You are very welcome. I know you will not abuse the powers." Then Horatio disappeared. Jean told me, "Greg I will never doubt you again." Jean and I headed off to bed. It had been a hard day so we both agreed to just go to sleep that night. We would have enjoyed some marital relations but we both were exhausted. I'm not too sure about Jean but as we cuddled I fell immediately to sleep. As I slept I...

M .3 When school ended, Jane was very, very glad to put her clothes back on. She'd managed to avoid being touched, except for fourth period and the beginning of school; for once in her life, she was glad nobody ever seemed to find her physically attractive. Sometimes it was an annoyance, being unable to attract attention, but right now it was all she wanted. She was also glad her mother was late with the car that day and didn't see her dressing. Of course, before school's end there were...
Prologue: "Francoise Chambet, Ex Model. Ex wife, and soon to be Ex Publisher." The thoughts wouldn't leave her. Here she was, two years into the war, and now the Boche have murdered her editor. It had been bad enough when her husband Gilles had been killed at the beginning of the war, but at least he had died fighting, and had also left her his fortune and publishing business. Life had been tough. At first, as Nazi censorship took hold, all pretence at objectivity became futile, and...
This is only the second story I have written here. The first was non-fiction, every word and emotion was true. I wish I could say the same for at least parts of this second story; while the emotions are true all of the details are manufactured inside my head which has been working through this fantasy, evolving it in my mind over many years as I stroke my cock to thoughts of serving my wife and her hung dominant lovers. My wife is not kinky, for most of our years together has not been very...
Wife LoversThe next afternoon, Xena was taken to Cera’s quarters in the usual totally undignified fashion. She was quaking inwardly with dread and nausea was rising, for she knew well enough why she was there. She knelt before the tall, blonde-haired Cera who, at last, stood up and walked around her. “You seem to have displeased Lady Flavia,” she said. She was referring to the fact that Xena’s body carried the fading, multiple weals from the whalebone rod which still covered her. Buttocks, back, thighs,...
Nancy was asleep when I got home, so I crawled into bed quietly and lay there thinking, and later dreaming, about the fantastic sex I had experienced with Cindy. That must not have been all I dreamed about, though, because when the alarm clock went off I woke up in a cold sweat with a giant knot in my stomach. 'What about next week, ' my brain screamed to me. Aye, there's the rub. Next week I'd have to pay for the incredible high I felt last night. Next week the guys are coming to my...
Changes Abound: Maya's Journey Part 1 A Cross-Dressing Story by Maria Ski Susan Hawke looked at her nephew as he slowly undressed. She had never seen him so sad. She wondered what she could do to cheer him up, but she knew there was nothing she could do at the moment. As the memory block she had placed would kick in soon. He hugged her as he left. "Thank you Auntie Susan, thank you for letting me stay." "You're welcome honey." She hugged him back. "Would you like to do what you...
Angie dropped Trish at Alicante airport, their goodbyes were a little tearful but not overly sad, it was more like good friends saying goodbye, yes they had been lovers for a week and a bit but both seemed content to accept that it was a holiday fling and not try and make any more of it. Neither of them had previously been with a girl before, neither had gone looking for a girl on girl relationship, it just sort of happened. Trish was a pretty happy go lucky sort of girl, she took what life...
Andy by Transbonder, translated by Leah from the German FIVE Svenja could barely wait until the things we ordered arrived. I looked forward to my breast forms more than anything else. With them I could now leave a button on my blouses undone like all the girls did. There was something I had done increasingly in the last several days: Observe other girls. Above all, what they were wearing. But also how they managed certain situations in a skirt or...
I smoked weed for the first time with my new neighbor. He showed me "morphed art" porn he had created that looked like huge male organs from some photos spliced onto bodies of women from other photos. The result was beautiful women sporting thick twelve-inch erections, with large balls hanging unusually low under them, wearing garter belts, stockings and high heels. The photos and the weed gave me a strong erection. He told me he was the model for the lower half of his pictures and showed me...
Kathy held the front door as Daddy carried Becky inside. She was so worn out from her big theatrical debut that she could barely keep her eyes open. Daddy had wrapped her in his raincoat because she had refused to wash following the juicy finale to her evening in the spotlight. He took the sleepy red head upstairs and set her astride Kim, who waited on all fours to convey her mistress to bed. "Giddy up, liddle horsey," Becky commanded as she wearily slapped her "pony" on the...
My name is Amy Cotter and this is what happened on my last day at school.I took a deep breath and looked at myself the mirror. On any other school day I'd be wearing a very different set of clothes. The school code of conduct stated that all pupils should wear a uniform consisting of a white shirt or blouse and either black or grey trousers or a knee length black or grey pleated skirt. It was ok to wear a plain black sweater as well. Normally I'd have my black school trousers on with a pair of...
Moving day at the dorms is always fun and also nerve-wracking. Glennon Hall is a mixed class dorm where freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors all are intermingled. It’s meant to promote mentorship and solidarity. It’s a good idea but most juniors and seniors don’t stay in the dorms. They often find off campus apartments. But still, some stay in the dorms with the freshmen and sophomores. Tyler has lived in Glennon Hall every year and never had an urge to move off campus. He’s a...
The rest of the week followed a similar pattern to the last couple of days. Get up, work, back home, then change into Clara and feminine training. The only difference was that on Thursday, when we got back home after the weekly shop, Hannah suggested I try speaking a little more like a woman. We looked on the net and found loads of helpful videos, hints and tips, so after that, I practised whenever I could to find my female voice. However, on Friday, as we drove to work, Hannah informed me that...
hello this is Huma with a new story sent to me by my friend Simmi. You may post your comments on her id Hi, I am Sanju, 25 years old, unmarried man, six feet tall, well built, wheatish complexion and most importantly endowed with an 8 inch cock which never goes limp. I was 18 when my parents died in a car crash leaving in my custody my younger sister Simran who was 15 years old then. I must tell you about Simran, she is hot, cute and lovely. I took her responsibility on my shoulders, left my...
IncestBetween the heavy fall of snow, the thick layers of snow on the roads, and the scratching sounds of the tree on the roof of the car, it took me more than twice the time to get home as it did to get to the nursery. When I pulled in and parked behind Mom’s SUV, I finally let myself breathe a sigh of relief. It wasn’t really the drive that had made me nervous, but the combination of running into Lisa Hartwell at the nursery, and then Nigel Sparks who wanted to run his fist into me. I thought for...

"Mr. Randahl, do the arts contribute to society or are they a drain on resources needed elsewhere?" It was Monday morning and Grossfeldt was in his usual mode—hassle the troops and see what comes of it. If he thought he was going to get a yes or no answer from me ... well, by now he should have known better. "That's a pretty loaded question, sir. They are a drain on resources if you consider the money used to support museums and institutions like this one could be used for things like...
As they headed for the fancy dress shop, Lucy and Zoe chatted excitedly about the party taking place later that evening. This was their first proper house party since starting University – at which they both intended to get drunk and get lucky.They’d always been good friends, and during recent years, had taken their friendship into new realms, but tonight was going to be about the men they wanted.Lucy picked out a Nuns outfit, deciding that although not the most revealing choice, it would add a...
As the sun shined on my face I slowly woke up from my sweet dreams. Suddenly, I heard someone knocking on the door. I forgot to close the door last night, so the person could walk right in. It was Michael, one of my best friends. ‘Liz, get up, you’re late again. You know the professor will kill you if you get late ag…’, Michael stopped in mid-sentence, only now realizing I wasn’t alone and we were naked. ‘Uhmm…nevermind. I’ll see you later.’ He turned around, noticeably ashamed. I woke up...
Introduction: . . . and so the fuckfest begins. As soon as her husband hopped into the cab, Lisa was on her phone. Hes gone, she texted. Come over. Her phone buzzed a moment later. Ill cum where I want. Dress up for my cock. She hurried up the stairs to change. She had spent the last week getting ready for Richards visit. Her whole body was waxed and tanned a rich olive tone. Her dark hair was freshly styled into lavish curls. A thousand dollars of the most salacious and slutty lingerie hid...
October 28, 1986 Major Chavan stood on a bridge that crossed over the major line of the railroad. He looked out on the chaos below trying to take in all that was happening. There were at least five separate areas of activity. Near the train, sergeants were yelling at the top of their voices, directing the unloading of the five tanks that were chained to flatbed rail cars. They had to yell to be heard over the noise of the loud diesel engines that powered the massive vehicles. From his...
“Well, it sounds like you had a fun time,” commented Lauren. She was more than a bit nervous about her tutoring Heather in the adult arts, but the damage had already been done. As far as she could tell, Heather planned on going all the way with her boyfriend regardless of what anyone else might think. Abstinence was not a viable option for the girl. “I haven’t told you the best part yet,” replied an excited Heather. She glanced back towards the living room, where Holly was watching...

Virginia stood before her tall mirror, flexing her favorite G-spot dildo, the odd-shaped knobby one, in and out of her tight-lipped vagina as she did her pectoral exercises and watched her expensively augmented and purple-titted jugs rise, tense, quiver and bulge out before they relaxed again, jiggling, nipples hard, pink incisions disappearing as they settled back. She had bolted on 36d's. She smiled at her image and began on a hundred Kegel crunches, shuddering and closing her eyes as her...

About 5' 2" barefoot, medium length dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. Not rail thin but not too overweight either. My chest is 36 C, almost a D. My best friends call me curvy.

As for Leanne, our divorce was now long final and shortly after the end of my trial her parents drove over from Cincinnati to pick up her stuff. About time! I suspect more than a few mice had burrowed into her clothing boxes to nest but that was her problem for letting the boxes sit for nearly a full year. She lived with her parents for a while, moved out and then became involved in an abusive relationship with a guy who soon tired of her shit too. Then she moved in with yet another guy who...
Gabriel Roarke had been a Hunter for over a decade, ever since he recovered after his family was attacked by a Vampire. To be more precise after that creature had killed his parents and then turned his sisters forcing Roarke to kill them if he wanted to live. He had spent six months in a hospital recovering from physical injuries he’d received from surviving that night and cleaning up the mess so that he didn’t go to jail for murder. He didn’t tell the police or the doctors, nurses and...
When my periods started I was to embarrassed to go to my mother, instead I went to my aunt, and she inserted my tampon.She was gentle and kind, soothing, and after bathing me, taught me about self masturbation, by masturbating me with her long fingers and her sex toys, that was when I suddenly realised I loved her on many levels.I had grown up hearing about her and her bohemian ways of life, it fascinated me, and listening to their voices of disapproval, I heard another voice telling me they...
Robyn threw her surfboard down and collapsed into the sand next to it, shutting her eyes to the sun. Her muscles ached from being out amongst the breakers for the last few hours and her stomach rumbled, as she hadn't eaten anything before heading out that morning. She heard a pair of thumps next to her and she knew it was her friend Emma joining her on the beach. Robyn opened her eyes and looked at her surf partner. Emma's dark brown hair flowed freely in the sea breeze even though she had...
TeenI cummed to this story few times...To this day I still can't believe my boyfriend talked me into it. I never thought things would turn out the way they did. I guess I just want to blame someone else, when in fact, I just let things get carried away. The thing is, even though I know it's wrong, I'm not sorry it happened. I guess I'm getting a little ahead of myself, I should start at the beginning. My younger brother Tom was turning 18 years old and I was trying to think of an appropriate gift....
His parents dropped him off at about noon on Boxing Day and we all sat and ate a large roast before my aunt and uncle dashed off to get to their boat. "hey Dave come see what I got for Christmas" I said to him, practically dragging him from the table and through into the living room where we had the PS3 set up his 16 year old eyes lit up as he had thought he would be spending the next week without his games. "Wow Katie this is great what games have you got?" I showed him the rack...
The next few days were pure bliss. Douglas came over to my house and we watched movies together. I cooked for him and we asked each other questions, so we could get to know each other more. I hoped I wasn’t dreaming. I don’t know what I would’ve done if it turned out to be a dream, but I couldn’t tell reality from dreams anymore. It felt like my dreams were reality, and reality had turned to dreams. Douglas had just left a few minutes ago. He came over in the morning, with his school bag and...
Something isn’t right here. For once, I’m not getting it. Kaipo finally finished fucking June’s dad like a bitch in heat, at least long enough to get something to drink and use the bathroom. June handed me her tablet, which is amazingly free of any shit, to show the message saying, “David. Don’t question what is needed. Do as asked. No one will get harmed. Trust.” That is odd. But June didn’t write it. She did write out a message that said, “Hold my head down and don’t let go until I’m...
Ever since I turned 19 it has never been the same. It all started when I was 19 I would visit my cousin almost everyday because we had a close relationship. But one day when I decided to spend a night over had sex with my aunt. It all started when my cousin was leaving to go out fishing at 3 in the morning we stayed up all night playing video games. So he left with his dad and I said what the heck let me just go to sleep I had no one to talk to so I slept on his bed. About 40 minutes later I...
I had been chatting to Kev for about a week and we were getting on really well. It was great to chat openly about my bi feelings and about my meet at a massage parlour with another man.Kev explained that he was gay and that he had been living with his boyfriend until they split a few weeks ago and that our conversations really turned him on.I told him I was not gay but had enjoyed the encounter. I was still very nervous meeting other guys. He said he understood and didn't push me to meet him.On...
Gay MaleThomas got out of his bmw and looked up at the old mansion. The large old house stood out against the sky and the sea beyond, surrounded by primevil forests, but alone on this shunned and deserted stretch of coast.The sun was rapidly fading, casting long shadows from the house's turrets out towards the sea. The shadows extended the two hundred feet towards the edge of the cliff. Thomas could see whitecaps on the stormy Atlantic heading towards the shore and he heard the waves breaking...
