I knew I was taking a risk. There were strict rules against acting out on the perverted thoughts I was entertaining. If I was suspected of any misconduct I would be “summarily dismissed” according to the details of my teaching contract. But there wasn’t anything in the contract that specified that I couldn’t think about having sex with my grade 12 male students. I could fantasize all I wanted.
My teaching partner, Rudy, had helped me move my desk to the back of the classroom during my planning period. I had maintained that I could keep a better eye on my AP English students if I was seated behind them (as if they needed any guidance! Ashley Cummings was fast becoming the class scholar on 18 th century English lit and Bryan Montgomery was almost as knowledgeable as I was when it came to the beat poets). My cover story was solid though, and Rudy never questioned my motives.
I rubbed my ass cheeks until Matty told me to come to where he sat in the living room. “Krystenah. You haven’t done too well today following directions, but I am going to give you a chance to redeem yourself.” He flashed a heart-melting smile at me. I chewed my lower lip. “What do I have to do?” I asked him. “Now that’s the right attitude!” He said. “First thing I need you to do is strip.” When I hesitated, he leaned forward and glared at me menacingly. “When was the last time you were...
Before Master J left on his trip, he left detailed instructions for me. When I woke up I saw them paper-clipped together. On top was a small note written in his hand. Obey me, slut was all it said. The instructions were extensive. When I had foolishly complained about being left alone, my master had devised plenty of activities to keep me focused. He didn’t need to tell me he would check on me while he was away. First on the list was a haircut appointment. I hadn’t heard of the salon, but if...
BDSMMaster took my hand and led me to the lead and collar aisle of the dog section. He ran his fingers along the collars and as he did I tried to imagine how each would feel against my neck. At home we had a canvas collar and one made of leather. Every time I wore one for Master’s pleasure I longed to wear it outside so that everyone would know I belonged to him. An older gentleman approached and walked up to Master. “Can I help you find something, Sir?” he asked. “What would you recommend for a...
It had been a week of firsts. The day after Matt Simeon had paddled my ass and dry humped me in his mother’s office, he fingered me while I ran a review session over the lunch hour in my classroom. He had messaged me the night before that I should wear that “cute a-line skirt and the black v-cut blouse that hugs those hot-ass curves.” After spending all year as my student, I realized he knew my wardrobe. He had stopped by my classroom during my planning period and had sat down across from me....
Chapter Twelve: Futa's Naughty Busty Teacher By mypenname3000 Copyright 2019 Note: Thanks to FallenAngelX00 for beta reading this! The three of us froze as the front door opened. The twins were home and about to catch the incestuous between my little sister Allie, our mother, and me. Fear flooded through me, my cock twitching in Allie's pussy still rippling from her orgasm. My eighteen-year-old sister had our busty, blonde mother sitting on her face. Her tits still swayed from her...

The water soothed my muscles even as it irritated the punished skin of my thighs and ass. Master lowered me into the tub. He used a wash cloth and asked me to give him parts of his slave’s both to bathe. I relaxed my arm as he held my wrist and washed the length on my arm. He ran the warm cloth over my neck and up my face, finally washing away all traces of Mistress Sylvia. He ran the cloth along my lips and pressed his index finger into it so that he could wash the space between my nose and...
I could see him standing in the threshold, relaxed, but expectant. The neighbors were around and I greeted him by his name. He smiled but didn’t return the greeting. When I reached the top stair, I saw that he grasped the cat by its handle. Its braided tails hung silently along his leg. My thighs tightened at the memory of the last flogging he had given me and how the tails had painted my back, ass and thighs. He smiled. “Hello, Master,” I said, and smiled back. “Undress, Puppy,” he said. I set...

BDSMMelissa stood in front of her class, lecturing on the second act of Macbeth. Just as she was reaching the climax of her explanation, her cell phone signaled a text from her desk. Without missing a beat, she glanced at the clock and noted that Shawn would just be waking up, he was working swing shift and needed to sleep in mornings.

Oral SexIt was Friday afternoon and Miss Edwards was packing her things to go home for the weekend. It was nearly 4:00 PM and Miss Edwards was tired after the week’s worth of teaching. The 22 year old Miss Edwards was in the second year of her first job, teaching, since graduating with her degree in education and a minor in Math. She was teaching 9th grade Math at a suburban high school of a large mid-western city. It was not too far from where she grew up and went to...
In the video, she was bent over a table. She was tied down with leather straps at the thigh and ankle. Her mini skirt rode up and no longer covered all of her bare ass—or nearly bare. Garter straps could be seen attached to thigh-high fishnets. A tall, muscular man ran his hand slowly and gently down her back and massaged her tailbone as he bent down and murmured in her ear. She responded to his word with a breathy moan and a laugh. He continued massaging her lower back and began to raise her...
Summer Vacation – Naughty Teacher What did you do over your summer vacation? Well for starters I turned fourteen years old and my parents dragged me off to Fucking No Where’s Vile in the middle of Nowhere. Actually it was Michigan, I think. I’m pretty sure that my parents were swingers, into group sex, or had a bunch of fuck buddies…or whatever you call it. Anyway apparently they took over this small motel that had about a hundred rooms in a four-story building. Our room was...
We both embraced each other with a hug and kiss. Our hands explored each others body like we were trying to find the prize in the Cracker Jack box. You see, she used to be my hot little Spanish teacher about ten years ago, and for about the last three months, we have been having a secret affair. The sex is great and she is super hot for a 45 yr. old. She used to be very athletic and has kept her toned body even after all the years. Now back to the sex... Our tongues wrestled in and...

The three of us froze as the front door opened. The twins were home and about to catch the incestuous between my little sister Allie, our mother, and me. Fear flooded through me, my cock twitching in Allie’s pussy still rippling from her orgasm. My fourteen-year-old sister had our busty, blonde mother sitting on her face. Her tits still swayed from her trembling through her own climax while my body buzzed from the hard cum I just had, my sister’s pussy brimming with spunk. “I think we’re...
High school was a time when my sexual interests bloomed, sometimes feverishly, like most adolescents, I presume. I've had a lot of sexual interests towards the opposite sex, mostly for a bunch of my female classmates and my female teachers, most of whom I have actually had many sexual fantasies about. But unfortunately, they were mostly fantasies, and not exactly real sexual experiences, although I did find a few certain masturbation techniques that were useful.Of all the ladies at my old high...
‘C’mon Miss, can’t you just put my best mark on the report card’ My teacher laughed. ‘You would have to do something for me.’ Then I swear she licked her lips but nobody else realised anything so I thought nothing of it. Our Teacher, Miss Jones, was about thirty probably a few years younger. She was the gymnastics coach so had a gorgeous trim body, some say she would have been good enough to go to the Olympics except her cleavage was too big. She had dark hair and soft pale skin, perfect teeth...

Straight Sex“Krystenah, come down here, please.” I bounced down the stairs when Daddy called. I had just thrown on a tank top and skirt and was toweling my hair off from the shower. “Yes, Daddy?” I looked into Daddy’s still face. My heart began to slowly fall inside my chest. “I asked you to clean the floor, did I not? “Yes, Daddy, I–” He held up his hand. “But I’m looking at my floor and it’s still dirty. Was I not clear, Babygirl?” “You were clear, Daddy. I swiffered it and—“ Daddy held up...
I have surrendered myself to my dark and lustful fantasies over the past couple of weeks. My name is Kristy Chandler and I am a high school English teacher for a large public school. I am 29 years old and stand 5?-5? tall with brawn hair, blue eyes with a 36c bust and weigh 110 pounds. I have had a fantasy about being taken by a well hung black man but have never acted on it, just kept it as my dark fantasy. Over the past several months I have become increasingly aroused around black men and...

SpankingI had backed myself into a corner one more time. I had promised the completed project to my client by the 27 th …at the latest. It was the 26 th , and I had only the merest outline. I took myself to the coffee shop so that I would be free from the distractions at home. Sometimes I perform very well when I’m under the wire. Other times, like now, my mind seemed to wander to every possible subject except the one I was being contracted to write about. I put some music on my laptop and plugged in...
“But it’s silly,” I protested, giggling. The spoon as pressed against my lips. “What if someone sees us?” “If you don’t shut up, you will be eating this out of the lid on the ground. Open up.” Master’s eyes were dancing, but I knew he was good on this threat. I opened my mouth and Master spooned some coffee ice cream into my mouth. We were the only customers sitting outside the ice cream shop. The night was ridiculously hot and all of Evelyn’s Fine Ice Cream customers were soaking up the A/C...
I squeezed Daddy’s dick between my breasts. Daddy’s dick was hard and warm and my breasts embraced him lovingly. It felt so wonderful to have the World’s Best Cock nestled between the caress of my tits. My cunt began to drool at the sensation. I moaned and… “Goofy.” Daddy’s bass voice shook me out of my dream. I blinked up at him and saw that he was hugging a steaming cup of coffee to his chest. Still a little disoriented, I looked at his semi-erect dick, which was at eye level and not between...
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...
Daddy woke me up by peeling the covers back from my body. I instinctively moved toward Daddy’s touch and set my foggy head on Daddy’s thigh. I nuzzled him as he rubbed the ass he had spanked, cropped and switched last night. I moaned as his massage revived the muscle ache in my right glute. I could smell the musk from his crotch and I grunted as my pussy began to tingle. Daddy’s skin against mine, the smell of my pussy dried in the peppercorns of his hairs, is now hard-wired in my DNA. I could...
“Get up and go take a shower,” he told me. “I have a surprise for you.” I was always the most obedient when I heard my Master say these words. I sang in the shower as I washed away my sweat and the evidence of our lovemaking. As I wrapped the towel around my body, I saw the nightie hanging from the door. It was a fire engine red see-through baby doll nightie and was the trashiest thing I had ever worn. I squealed and clapped my hands before pulling it over my head. As I did, I saw that there...
‘Do you have any painkillers?’ he asked me. My eyes landed on the small bottom of ibuprofen on the bedside table . ‘Yes, Sir,’ I said through the phone. ‘Better take some now. I’m on my way home,’ he said and hung up. I set the phone down and picked up the pill bottle. I didn’t have time to worry if Master was in an angry or playful mood. It might not matter too much either way, it was clear that he intended to wear me out when he got home. I opened the bottle absently as I walked into the...

Peter O’Malley was sulking in the dimly lit parking lot. The loud music blasting from the club continued to remind him of the fun he could be having if only…. “What a stupid law,” he fumed. “I can vote. I can be drafted into the army. But at 18 I can’t go into a place where they serve alcohol. What’s so special about being 21? What a stupid, fuckin’ law!” Peter had tried using his fake id, but the bouncer at the door spotted it right away....

The teacher! Hi, this is writing this story. Your comments and feedbacks are welcome. This is the story of a teacher initiating a student into sex for one and only one time to satisfy her urges. It is rarely that our village side school gets a chance to participate in the state youth festival. And this year we had a small group of artists including me, who were raring to participate in an event in the competition. But we had a problem. It was my parents. They are not letting me go with the...
“Teacher,” Sumin said, suddenly. “What is ‘Netflix and chill’?” She looked across the desk at me with an expression of open curiosity. Caught off guard, I hesitated trying to figure out how to answer this. My gut instinct is to always be honest but I also know that in the classroom there are certain boundaries, even if this was a private lesson and not in an actual classroom. We were sitting in her apartment’s study room with a piano against one wall, bookshelves filled with books along...
Donna sat at the kitchen table taking a break from her morning duties. She had still so much to do! She looked at her nails to check if she had done them correctly. She had done so five times already in the last minute alone, but she kept forgetting. Her mind couldn’t hold anything anymore; she was so desperate for sleep. And as she sat in the chilly kitchen, she had to constantly rub herself as both her holes itched terrible. She never had had it this bad. Both holes were flaming red. It...

Joey can't remember where this all started, his fascination with the school's guidance counselor, maybe when she would ignore him and instead entertain the jocks that went to her office for counseling or maybe this woman was just really desirable.

There were other girls his age that he was interested in but there was something about the counselor that captivated him.The guidance counselor was Mrs. Zilpha Rollins; she's...

Let me just say, saying that she was "hot" was a huge understatement. she must be no older than 23 (her actual age, I found out later was 22). with blonde hair, slim body with...
The R.A.I.D. and the Mild Mannered School Teacher Watching the children play, Adam saw several kids form a game of tag. They were laughing and giggling as they ran around. There were innocent kids doing nothing but having fun. They looked like a bunch of boys, but one might have been a girl, as his hair was a bit longer than the rest. Not that it mattered. Adam had forgotten what it felt like to have so much fun just playing. He longed to remember how it was to enjoy himself so much....

Sally Harris was an English teacher in the local public high school. She was 45 years old and somewhat plain looking. She was not ugly by no means but she was not what you would call gorgeous, either. She was 5’ 6? tall and was slightly overweight but still decent looking. The most noticeable quality that Sally Harris had was her breats. They were much larger than normal. In fact they were very large and most of the guys in school noticed it. She was devoted to her teaching and was convinced...
