In this episode, I'm talking about the least flashy but most important part of your health journey: your mindset. If you keep starting strong and then falling off, feeling overwhelmed, or jumping from plan to plan, it might not be a discipline problem - it could be self-sabotage patterns running in the background. I break down the most common ones I see in women and explain why real, lasting change comes from small daily shifts, not big, dramatic overhauls.

Send a textMy guest this week on Thrive Solo is British country singer-songwriter, Harley Moon Kemp, who also happens to be the daughter of Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp, and Shirlie Kemp of both Pepsi and Shirlie, and Wham. Harley Moon appeared in last year's Celebrity Race Across The World with her brother, Roman Kemp, and not only did they appear in it, but they won it. I'm sure many of you will have seen it and subsequently heard Harley Moon mention her happily single status. In this episode, Harley Moon and I talk about how she ended up getting into country music in particular and what she loves most about that genre; we talk about how she is absolutely loving single life right now; we talk about how her parents very happy marriage has impacted what she wants and expects from a relationship. We also discuss the shift in the dating scene in her generation, how people are no longer going out to meet people in the way they used to, and how dating as a high profile person can present its own challenges. 02:15 Meet Harley Moon Kemp03:45 Harley Moon's Musical Journey06:00 Discovering Country Music14:47 Embracing Single Life23:49 The Modern Dating Scene31:07 The Inspiration Behind 'My Girls (Love Me Better)'32:45 Reflecting on the song 'I Know What Good Looks Like'35:12 Personal Reflections on Relationships38:43 Living with Intention and Positivity47:29 The Adventure of 'Race Across the World'54:43 Final Thoughts and FarewellFollow Harley Moon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harleymoonkempListen to Harley Moon on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7lTrAtvHlfVsJZgXMMR05X Support the showBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Join my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesolo Download my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacks Check out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=share Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/ Email me: lucy@lucymeggeson.com And thank you so much for listening!

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Hidden Treasures: A Castle Adventure with Unexpected Lessons Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-02-17-23-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A hó finom rétege borította a Budai Várat, a decemberi naplemente fényei pedig hosszú árnyékokat vetettek az ősi falakra.En: A delicate layer of snow covered the Budai Vár, and the lights of the December sunset cast long shadows on the ancient walls.Hu: Az iskola osztálya hófehér bundákba öltözve várt Bence tréfáira és Janos tanár fegyelmességére.En: The school's class, dressed in snow-white coats, awaited Bence's jokes and Janos the teacher's discipline.Hu: De Katalin, a csendes álmodozó, másra vágyott: egy felfedezésre, ami eltér a megszokottól.En: But Katalin, the quiet dreamer, longed for something else: a discovery that was different from the usual.Hu: Amikor Janos tanár úr összesítette a gyerekeket, szigorú hangon figyelmeztette őket az idő fontosságára.En: When Janos the teacher gathered the children, he sternly reminded them of the importance of time.Hu: „A vár hatalmas, és fontos, hogy együtt maradjunk. Katalin, Bence, a ti figyelmetekre különösen szükség van!”En: "The castle is vast, and it's important that we stick together. Katalin, Bence, your attention is particularly needed!"Hu: Bence lelkesen körülnézett, szemében csintalan fény csillogott.En: Bence looked around eagerly, a mischievous light shining in his eyes.Hu: Súgott Katalin fülébe, amikor a csoport éppen a főbejárat felé tartott.En: He whispered into Katalin's ear as the group made their way towards the main entrance.Hu: „Mi lenne, ha eltűnnénk egy kicsit? Van egy hely, amit mutatni akarok neked."En: "What if we sneak away for a bit? There's a place I want to show you."Hu: Katalin hezitált.En: Katalin hesitated.Hu: Tudta, hogy nem lenne szabad, de a kíváncsisága nem hagyta nyugodni.En: She knew she shouldn't, but her curiosity wouldn't let her rest.Hu: „Rendben,” mondta végül bizonytalanul, „de nagyon gyorsnak kell lennünk!”En: "Okay," she finally said uncertainly, "but we have to be really quick!"Hu: Amint a csoport belépett a várba, Bence elkapta Katalin kezét, és kiszivárogtak egy mellékfolyosóra.En: As the group entered the castle, Bence grabbed Katalin's hand, and they slipped down a side corridor.Hu: A fából készült lépcsők halkan nyikordultak lépteik alatt.En: The wooden stairs creaked softly under their steps.Hu: Egy szűk folyosóra értek, ahol egy régi ajtó várt rájuk, porfedte zárjával.En: They arrived at a narrow hallway, where an old door awaited them, with a dust-covered lock.Hu: „Találtam ezt tavaly,” suttogta Bence, mielőtt meglökte az ajtót, amely egyszerűen kinyílt.En: "I found this last year," Bence whispered before he pushed the door, which swung open easily.Hu: Odabent egy rejtett szoba tárult fel előttük, régi, királyi tárgyakkal, elfeledett történetek hírnökeivel.En: Inside, a hidden room revealed itself, filled with old royal artifacts, messengers of forgotten stories.Hu: Katalin ámulattal fordult a falakban rejtett freskók felé.En: Katalin turned in awe toward the frescoes hidden in the walls.Hu: „Ez csodálatos!” sóhajtott elképedve.En: "This is amazing!" she gasped in astonishment.Hu: Percek teltek el, talán órák.En: Minutes passed, perhaps hours.Hu: És amikor rájöttek, hogy a körüljáró óra gyorsabban ketyeg, mint azt gondolták, a pánik egyszerre érte őket.En: And when they realized that the clock was ticking faster than they had thought, panic hit them all at once.Hu: „El fogunk késem a tanár úr elől!” mondta Bence.En: "We're going to be late for the teacher!" said Bence.Hu: Gyorsan visszatértek a főcsoporthoz, szívdobogásuk hangosabb volt, mint a hó alá eltemetett lépéseik.En: They quickly returned to the main group, their hearts pounding louder than their snow-buried steps.Hu: Janos tanár úr szigorú tekintete fogadta őket.En: Janos the teacher greeted them with a stern look.Hu: „Katalin, Bence, hová tűntetek?” kérdezte komolyan.En: "Katalin, Bence, where did you disappear to?" he asked seriously.Hu: Katalin mély lélegzetet vett, és bevallotta: „Találtunk egy régi szobát, tanár úr.En: Katalin took a deep breath and confessed: "We found an old room, sir.Hu: Artifaktokkal és freskókkal..."En: With artifacts and frescoes..."Hu: Janos arca lassan elmosolyodott.En: Janos' face slowly broke into a smile.Hu: „Én is erre jártam diákként.En: "I used to come here as a student too.Hu: A történelem néha a legváratlanabb helyeken rejtőzik."En: History sometimes hides in the most unexpected places."Hu: S egy pillanatra leengedte szigorú álarcát.En: And for a moment, he lowered his strict mask.Hu: Katalin és Bence szája tátva maradt a meglepetéstől.En: Katalin and Bence were left speechless with surprise.Hu: Janos tanár úr elismerése elűzte a félelmeiket.En: Janos the teacher's acknowledgment dispelled their fears.Hu: A nap végén Katalin új leckével tért haza: néha a szabályok megszegése utat nyithat felfedezésekhez, és a kíváncsiság az igazi tanulás forrása.En: At the end of the day, Katalin returned home with a new lesson: sometimes breaking the rules can lead to discoveries, and curiosity is the true source of learning.Hu: Janos tanár pedig újfent rátalált a mesélés örömére.En: And Janos the teacher rediscovered the joy of storytelling.Hu: És amikor az iskolabusz visszatért Pest utcáihoz, mindketten tudták, hogy egy új kaland már úton van feléjük.En: And as the school bus returned to the streets of Pest, they both knew that a new adventure was already headed their way.

Transcript:Ca: Marcel, Laia i Gemma es reunien a l'entrada del Laberint d'Horta.En: Marcel, Laia, and Gemma met at the entrance of the Laberint d'Horta.Ca: Era hivern i l'aire fred picava les galtes.En: It was winter, and the cold air stung their cheeks.Ca: Els professors havien organitzat una excursió al laberint com activitat del Carnaval.En: The teachers had organized a field trip to the labyrinth as a Carnaval activity.Ca: Els estudiants es disfressaven.En: The students were in costume.Ca: Marcel portava una màscara de tigre, Laia lluïa un barret brillant i Gemma una capa verda.En: Marcel wore a tiger mask, Laia sported a shiny hat, and Gemma wore a green cape.Ca: Els tres miraven al seu voltant, envoltats per frondosos xiprers que amagaven racons incògnits.En: The three looked around, surrounded by lush cypress trees hiding unknown corners.Ca: “M'agradaria liderar el grup avui,” va anunciar Marcel, amb una veu que oscil·lava entre entusiasme i timidesa.En: "I'd like to lead the group today," Marcel announced, with a voice oscillating between enthusiasm and shyness.Ca: Laia va respondre amb un somriure valent.En: Laia responded with a brave smile.Ca: “Perfecte, estic preparada per l'aventura!En: "Perfect, I'm ready for the adventure!"Ca: ” Gemma, menys segura però intentant adaptar-se, va assentir.En: Gemma, less confident but trying to adapt, nodded.Ca: Amb pas decidit, Marcel va guiar el petit grup cap a l'entrada del laberint.En: With a determined step, Marcel led the small group towards the entrance of the labyrinth.Ca: Els arbusts eren alts, i l'olor de terra humida impregnava l'aire, donant al lloc una sensació de conte de fades.En: The bushes were tall, and the smell of damp earth filled the air, giving the place a fairytale-like feel.Ca: Al principi, Marcel recordava vagament els girs del camí d'una visita anterior, i això l'omplia de confiança.En: At first, Marcel vaguely remembered the twists of the path from a previous visit, which filled him with confidence.Ca: “Per aquí!En: "This way!"Ca: ” va cridar, assenyalant cap a una bifurcació més a la dreta.En: he shouted, pointing toward a fork to the right.Ca: Els seus passos ferms es van anar afeblint mentre el laberint es feia cada vegada més complicat.En: His firm steps weakened as the maze became increasingly more complicated.Ca: Al punt on els arbusts semblaven com murs verds inamovibles, es van adonar que s'havien allunyat del grup.En: At the point where the bushes seemed like immovable green walls, they realized they had strayed from the group.Ca: Les veus alegres dels companys de classe es perdien a la distància.En: The cheerful voices of their classmates faded into the distance.Ca: Laia va escrutar Marcel amb preocupació.En: Laia scrutinized Marcel with concern.Ca: “Estem perduts?En: "Are we lost?"Ca: ” va preguntar.En: she asked.Ca: Marcel va vacil·lar, però la seva determinació va renéixer més forta.En: Marcel hesitated, but his determination was reborn even stronger.Ca: “Sempre podem mirar la guia, però.En: "We can always look at the guide, but...Ca: crec que podria trobar una sortida secreta.En: I think I might find a secret exit."Ca: ”El cel començava a enfosquir-se i una boirina misteriosa es filtrava pel laberint.En: The sky began to darken, and a mysterious mist filtered through the labyrinth.Ca: Era l'hora de confiar en el seu instint o recular i admetre el descobert.En: It was time to trust his instinct or retreat and admit defeat.Ca: Amb una energia renovada, Marcel va seguir l'impuls del seu cor.En: With renewed energy, Marcel followed his heart's impulse.Ca: “Venim, per aquí,” va dir, amb més convicció.En: "Come on, this way," he said, with more conviction.Ca: Els passos s'enfonsaven suaument en el terra estovat de la tarda.En: Their steps sank softly into the dampened afternoon ground.Ca: Finalment, en un racó remot, van trobar aquella sortida latent que Marcel havia imaginat.En: Finally, in a remote corner, they found that hidden exit Marcel had envisioned.Ca: Les llums de l'exterior del laberint brillaven com estrelles benvingudes.En: The lights outside the labyrinth shone like welcoming stars.Ca: Creuaren la sortida amb un respir d'alleujament.En: They crossed the exit with a sigh of relief.Ca: Al veure'ls sortir, els professors i companys van respirar tranquils.En: Seeing them emerge, the teachers and classmates breathed a sigh of relief.Ca: “Ho heu aconseguit!En: "You did it!"Ca: ” va exclamar un dels professors amb alegria.En: exclaimed one of the teachers with joy.Ca: La reputació

#210 - What if travel wasn't a checklist but a classroom? I sat with Joy Owens—mother of two, CEO and co-owner of Butler Travel, and veteran of 60 countries—to explore how faith, service, and slow travel can shape a family and a life. From a grandmother who's visited more than 80 countries to Joy's first trip at three months old, her story moves through mission work in Zambia and Kenya, a scrappy road journey toward Argentina, and a solo $10-a-day push to Panama that turned from a rat-infested night into radical hospitality.Joy walks us through teaching in Honduras and Taiwan, the culture shock of moving to Alaska, and why she and her husband bought Butler Travel to serve nonprofits and missionaries with complex ticketing and group logistics. She shares a gripping emergency reroute for a family in Tanzania that helped their daughter reach lifesaving care, and she opens up about surrendering control when December bills loomed, only to witness the agency's busiest month on record. For Joy, faith isn't an accessory; it's how she navigates risk, money, parenting, and purpose.We also dig into the messy magic of traveling with little kids: babies on planes during the quiet months of 2020, a six-week Europe adventure with bikes and tents, and the art of choosing your hard when tantrums and missed trains collide. Joy makes the case for slow travel—one hub, deeper days, fewer repacks—and tells unforgettable stories, from crossing open water in foldable kayaks to a budget misadventure on a Greek island complete with a kindly, very unbothered nude local offering fruit and cheese.If you lead mission trips, plan family journeys, or crave meaningful travel that builds resilience and empathy, this conversation is your map.

After all, the animal that saved him from the spiderweb must be big and strong, right?This story is told in the the present tense. Repeated words and phrases include bird, small, trapped, big, and small. No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way.

Join Chet the dog, “the most lovable narrator in all of fiction” (Boston Globe), and his human partner Bernie as they scramble to solve a case exposing the dark side of internet fame.Chet the dog is less than enthusiastic about the Little Detective Agency's next case. Chet and his human partner, PI Bernie Little, have been hired to find a missing person—only the missing person is a cat. Miss Kitty, an internet sensation, has disappeared, and Chet and Bernie have been hired to find her before her many followers realize something is wrong.Miss Kitty belongs to Bitty, a sweet teenage girl who lives with her mom. Bitty and her mother are struggling financially, but the arrival of Miss Kitty and the chance discovery of her social media appeal has changed everything. Bitty now has sponsors, a high-powered agent, and all the tools needed to thrive online, and real money is flowing in. At least, it was. With Miss Kitty gone, the family's income is on the line.The case presents a slew of challenges for Chet and Bernie. For one thing, a potential witness is a pig named Senor Piggy who may be in possession of an important piece of evidence. For another, it seems like a possible perp has been killed twice—and there's evidence implicating Bernie in the crime.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
In this episode, I sit down with Scott Butler, a serving UK firefighter who has quietly built a life around choosing difficult things on purpose. Scott shares the pivotal moment in 2006 when joining the fire service forced him to grow fast, take responsibility, and stop making excuses. That turning point shaped not just his career, but his identity, and set him on a path where challenge became a way of understanding himself rather than something to avoid.Our conversation goes far beyond adventure headlines. We talk about ultra-distance challenges, rowing the Atlantic, desert races, long lonely days where quitting would make complete sense, and the mindset required to keep moving anyway. Along the way, we explore fear, ageing, doubt, discipline, charity, and why firefighters often feel most at home in uncomfortable places. There is also a surprisingly important discussion about bum butter, because it turns out the right anti-chafing cream can overcome all kinds of horrific challenges. This is a grounded, honest, and funny conversation about resilience, agency, and backing yourself without needing applause.Find Scott HEREAccess all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HERE our partners supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingFIRST TACTICAL- tactical gear for elite operatorsMSA The Safety CompanyJAFCOIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD Send a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

Dirk has a stimulating encounter with a friend s wife.By Original Aramis. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.Dirk was halfway through another of his wandering road trips, this time to see an old biker buddy of his who had moved two states away when he was transferred by his company. Dirk had known Hal Jenkins since high school; he was one of the few people that Dirk got along with, and they had been friends ever since. When Hal got into motorcycles Dirk had approached him about joining the MC, but Hal said he just wasn t into it so he didn t. That didn t matter to Dirk as Hal was a true biker in every sense of the word, and the two of them had gone through some pretty interesting times and some pretty interesting women before Hal was transferred.When Hal called Dirk about six months ago to invite him to his wedding, you could have knocked Dirk over with a feather. Hal was the last person besides himself that Dirk would have ever thought would get married, but Hal told Dirk that his fianc , Renee, was the woman of my dreams in every possible way and that he wanted to marry her ‘before she wises up! Dirk was unable to make the wedding since it was scheduled for the following week Hal never was one for planning things out which is one reason Dirk never thought he would ever get married but they had planned instead on Dirk riding out to see him and staying for a few days. The earliest Hal s schedule at work would let that happen was six months away, but the time had finally passed and now Dirk was sitting in Hal s man cave (his garage) with their bikes parked in the driveway, cooling off after a long day s ride. It was the afternoon of the last day of Dirk s two-day visit, and they had made the best of it. They were sitting in a couple of foldable camp chairs enjoying a couple of cold bottles of beer with Dirk still wearing his colors, talking about anything and everything, just enjoying life and each other s company.So whattaya think about my ol lady, Dirk? Hal asked, grinning at him over his beer bottle. She s really something, ain t she?Yes, she most certainly is! Dirk replied, nodding as he spoke. When he had met Renee upon his arrival, to say he was stunned would have been the understatement of the year. The best way to describe Renee was to say that she was what everyone thought about when they thought of the term 'biker chick.Renee was about five feet five inches tall and around 115 pounds, Dirk would have guessed, with just enough meat on her bones to make her look really good. Dirk also would have guessed that at least eight pounds of that would have been breast meat, because Renee had a simply magnificent pair of tits. Full and round with just the right amount of sag to make them wobble inside the white halter top she was wearing when he first saw her, they were truly a sight to behold. The halter top was showing about a mile of cleavage, something which Dirk appreciated very much, and was a perfect match for the low-slung faded jeans she was wearing. The jeans were skintight until they reached her knees and then flared out just enough to give her a retro '60s hippie kind of look. Her waist was tapered and her stomach was flat, and while not as firm as a young girl s it was still firm enough to be very enticing. The faux diamond that hung from her navel only added to the look.And to top it all off, Renee had the blackest hair Dirk had ever seen, wavy and long, going down past her shoulders nearly to the middle of her back. Her hair was very thick as well, so Dirk imagined that she had either some Italian or Middle Eastern blood in her veins. The only thing missing from Renee having a complete 'biker chick look was a tattoo or two, and when she turned to walk away from him Dirk saw not only a rounded, firm ass that swayed enticingly as she walked but a butterfly 'tramp stamp peeking out from above the waistband her jeans as well.But the thing that drew Dirk s attention the most, even more than her spectacular bustline (Dirk had always been a 'boob man ) was Renee s face, specifically her lips. Renee had big, dark brown eyes, high cheekbones, and a perfect nose that sat above the fullest, softest, most beautiful and absolutely perfect pair of lips he had ever seen.He had no idea how Hal had been lucky enough to land a woman who looked the way Renee looked, but he was glad for his old friend all the same.Yeah, I m damned lucky to have her, and you better believe I know it! Hal said, taking a pull from his beer. Dirk was just about to fire up a cigar when Hal surprised him so much with his next statement that he nearly burned his face off.And how about those lips, huh? Ain t those the best pair of dick sucking lips you ve ever seen on a broad? Hal said, grinning at Dirk.Jesus, Hal! Dirk said, shaking his hand to put out the match he was using to light the cigar.What? Hal said, looking at him.That s your wife you re talking about, you know! he said, putting the cigar back into the pocket of his vest while he was trying to make light of what he thought could turn out to be a bad situation. Hal quickly proved that he had nothing to worry about.Hell, I know that! But she don t mind, trust me, Hal said, grinning at Dirk. I brag about her and those big DSLs to my friends all the time whether she s here or not!And she really doesn t mind? Dirk asked, genuinely surprised.Hell, no, she doesn t mind! Hal said, laughing. She loves to hear me brag about her! I think it kind of turns her on, you know? he said, lowering his voice in a conspiratorial way. All I know is that every time she hears me bragging about her DSLs to my friends, we have some of the best sex ever!Well, some women are like that, that s for sure, he said, having run into a woman or two like that in his life as well.And besides, she really does! Hal said, raising his beer bottle to his lips to take another drink.She really does, what? Dirk asked, doing the same.She really does suck a mean cock! Dirk sprayed beer out of his mouth when Hal said this.Dammit, Hal! he said, sitting up and wiping the beer from the front of his shirt and vest.Well, she does! Hal insisted, not understanding what all the fuss was about. I tell ya, that woman can suck a golf ball through a garden hose!I m sure she does well, maybe not quite that good, but still warn me before you say something like that, willya? Dirk said, sitting back in his chair again.You don t believe me, Hal said, looking at Dirk.Huh? Dirk said.About how good Renee is at sucking dick. You don t believe me!Of course I do! You ve never lied to me before, have you?No, I haven t.Okay, so why wouldn t I believe you now?Then what s with that 'maybe not quite that good part, then? Hal asked.I didn t mean anything by it, Hal, really, Dirk said, concerned that he d hurt his friend s feelings. I m sorry, I m sure she s just as good at sucking dick, as you say she is.Okay, well, then let me prove it to you, Hal said, a smile creeping across his face.Prove it to me? How? Dirk asked.By letting Renee suck your dick, he said, grinning at Dirk.Are you serious? Dirk asked, staring at his old friend. I mean, really? You re serious? You want Renee, your own wife, to suck my dick? he asked, not believing what he had heard.Serious as a heart attack, my brother! Hal replied, sitting back in his chair and grinning at Dirk. He lifted his beer bottle to his lips and took a drink before continuing. And trust me, when she s done with you, you ll be thanking me for letting her do it! That woman can suck the chrome off a trailer hitch, I tell ya!This is incredible, Dirk said, sitting back in his chair, still holding his beer in one hand. I can t believe you d have Renee do that!Well, you d better believe it, my friend, because it s about to happen! Hal said, getting up and going over to the short staircase leading to the door that opened into the house. He climbed up the three steps and opened the door, then called out to his wife.Hey, Renee, darlin , would you come in here for a minute, please? he said, then walked back over and sat down in the camp chair to await her arrival. It was less than a minute later when Renee appeared in the doorway, giving them both a big smile. She was wearing the same jeans as before, but this time she was wearing a red and white striped tube top instead of the halter.Yes, baby? she said, her hands on the sides of the doorframe.'My God, but that woman is hot! Dirk thought to himself, taking a drink from his beer.I been braggin on you and those DSLs of yours again to Dirk here, tellin him all about how good you are at giving blowjobs and all, and I m not sure he believes me, Hal said, motioning towards Dirk with his beer. Renee looked at Dirk and her smile got bigger.So you want me to suck his dick to prove it to him, baby? she said, looking Dirk straight in the eyes. Is that it?Yep, that s it, darlin ! Hal said, smiling.I can do that! Renee said, her smile bigger than ever. She walked down the three steps into the garage, her big tits swaying in the tube top, never taking her eyes off of Dirk. She walked over to him and stopped in front of him, standing between his feet as he sat in the chair. She looked down at him for just a moment, still smiling, before she spoke again.How about it, Dirk? Would you like for me to suck your dick? she asked, her voice low and sultry. I m really good at sucking dick, and I d just love to prove it to you by sucking yours!What about Hal? You know, your husband? Dirk said, looking up into those dark brown eyes that were now sparkling and filled with desire. You d do that with him sitting right there? he asked.Sure! Renee replied, her smile getting a bit bigger. I suck dick in front of him all the time, don t I, baby? she said, her eyes traveling down to Dirk s crotch and lingering there for a moment before going back to his eyes.You sure do! Hal said, grinning proudly. Every time we throw a party, she finds a guy that turns her on and she just has to suck his dick, and I always get to watch! he explained.And then, when the party is over, we go into the bedroom and I tell Hal all about it, how it turned me on, how good the guy s cum tasted, and then we have the best sex you can imagine! she said, her smile never faltering.But she never fucks anyone else, though, Hal said. That s reserved just for me, right, darlin ? Hal said. Renee nodded as she replied.That s right, baby, nobody fucks me but you! she said. So how about it, Dirk? You want me to show you how good I am at sucking cock by sucking yours?Sure, why the fuck not! Dirk said, tossing his hands up in the air and letting them drop to the arm rests of the chair, still holding on to his beer with one hand. He was trapped and he knew it, so why not sit back and enjoy it?'Besides, there s no way she s as good as Amy, Dirk thought to himself, thinking of the girl he d met at a club party a few weeks ago. She had really gone at him, and the memories were still fresh.Good! Renee said, moving in closer. She reached down and spread his legs further apart, then knelt down between them right in front of his crotch. Hal, honey, you might want to turn the fan on and close the garage door, she said, settling in front of Dirk. We don t want to give the neighbors a free show, and with the door closed it s gonna get hot in here pretty quick!Good point, baby! Hal said, getting up and going over to the button on the wall next to the door to the house and pressing it. The garage door slid closed behind them, and then Hal flipped a switch next to the garage door button and a fan mounted up in a corner of the ceiling came on. Then Hal walked over to a canoe that was lying on the floor next to the wall, picking up a floatation cushion and then handing it to his wife.Here, darlin , use this! Hal said, handing her the cushion.Thank you, baby! Renee said, taking the cushion from him and putting it on the ground in front of her to kneel on. As soon as she was settled, she reached up and began unfastening Dirk s jeans, smiling as she worked at getting them open.I bet you have a big dick! You have a big dick, don t you, Dirk? she asked, looking up at him and smiling while getting the jeans open and pulling down the fly.See for yourself! he said, making Renee grin. She reached inside his jeans for his cock and was pleasantly surprised to find that he wasn t wearing anything under his jeans. She looked up at him and grinned as she wrapped her fingers around his soft cock.No underwear! she said, pulling his cock out of his jeans and then spreading the fly of the jeans as wide as possible. I like that! But right now, I m gonna wrap my lips around your cock and suck it until it s hard, she said, looking up at him and smiling. I just love feeling a man s cock get hard in my mouth!Before Dirk could reply she dipped her head down and put her lips on the head of his cock, sucking his entire soft cock into her mouth. She looked up at him as sucked hard, her cheeks hollowing in, running her tongue over and around the sensitive tip. This made Dirk jump just a little as he was really sensitive at the tip of his dick, and Hal chuckled at his reaction.Told you she was good! he said, grinning at Dirk. But you ain t seen nothin yet!Renee pulled her head back and let his hardening cock slip out of her mouth, holding the head in her mouth for a moment before sucking it all in her mouth again. She did this several times, pleased to find that Dirk was getting harder, longer, and thicker in her mouth very quickly. She slid her mouth up to the head of his cock, holding it there for a moment before she released it from her mouth with a soft 'pop. She smiled up at him as she spoke, gripping his cock tightly in one hand while opening his jeans further with the other.Let s get these big balls out, shall we? she said, smiling up at him as she pulled his balls out of his jeans. Oooh, nice! I just love playing with a man s balls! she said, massaging them in her hand while still pumping his cock. He was rock-hard by now, the precum beginning to flow with a drop of the clear fluid appearing at the tip of his cock.Oh, look! she said, grinning up at him as she noticed the drop of precum. Is that for me? Yummy! she said, sticking her wide, long tongue out and licking up the drop of slick fluid, making sure she licked as much of the head of his cock as she could in doing so. She had the widest, longest, and thickest tongue Dirk had ever seen, and she was good with it very good. As he watched, she put her lips right on the tip of his cock and sucked, pulling more of the fluid out of him.Hmm! she moaned, smiling up at him. She sat back a little and swallowed, then ran her wet tongue over her lips and smiled, looking directly at him. Eye contact was obviously a big thing with her, and she was very good at it among other things, as he was about to find out.I m gonna give you a tongue bath, and then I m gonna suck the cum right out of you! she said, grinning from ear to ear. She looked like an excited little girl with her hand gripping a nice, big lollypop, and Dirk had a feeling that was exactly how she was going to treat him like a treat ready to be swallowed. She stuck that wide, thick tongue out again and slowly licked him from the base of his balls all the way up to the head of his cock, never taking her eyes from his.Want me to time you, baby? Hal asked, taking a pull from his beer.Sure! Renee replied, grinning up at Dirk as she pumped his cock in her hand. Let s see if I can break my record on how fast I can make him cum!So what s your record? Dirk asked.Five minutes! she said, giving him a sly smile before licking his cock again. But I have a feeling you might take a little bit longer than that, she said, licking him again.What makes you say that, baby? Hal asked.Call it a hunch, Renee replied, never taking her eyes from Dirk, but I just have a feeling that ol Dirk here is gonna be a tough nut to crack or to make cum, that is!Guess there s only one way to find out, huh? Dirk said, smiling at her. She smiled back as she replied.I guess so! she said, giving him one last, wet, lingering lick from his balls to the head of his dick.You ready, baby? Hal asked, holding up his wrist with his watch on it, thumb on the button.Oh, yeah! Renee replied, grinning up at Dirk.Go! Hal said, starting the stopwatch.Renee lowered her mouth down to his cock and took the head into her mouth, clamping her lips around the shaft just behind the flared ridge. Then she applied suction, lots of it, and then slid her mouth down onto his hard shaft, taking his entire length into her mouth in one long, fluid motion. She pulled her head back up the length of his shaft slowly, running her thick tongue over and around his cock as she did, massaging and squeezing his balls with one hand, maintaining the suction she was applying. When she got to the head of his cock she paused, keeping it trapped in her mouth, running her tongue over and around the sensitive head before sliding her mouth back down his cock once more, literally sucking it into her mouth and down her throat. She pushed her face down until her nose bumped against his abdomen, and she moaned as she made the trip back up his cock once more, her cheeks hollowing in from the suction she was applying.Um! she moaned, looking up at Dirk and smiling around his cock in her mouth. When she got to the head of his cock she held it in her mouth again, sucking on it while running her thick tongue along the underside. The suction she was applying was incredible, and Dirk could feel the precum being sucked from him. Her eyes rolled back into her head as she let about half of the head of his cock out of her mouth, her big, soft lips wrapped around it as she sucked on him. Then she moaned again as she slid her mouth back down his cock once more, making loud slurping noises as she sucked his throbbing shaft into her wet, sucking mouth. His cock was coated with her saliva by now, and he could feel it running down his balls as she worked on him.'Holy shit, she s good! She s even better than Amy! Dirk thought to himself as he watched Renee gobbling his cock over and over again. She was applying constant suction on his cock, pausing every now and then to draw a breath either through her nose or through her mouth when she opened her lips up just enough to breathe before clamping them around his cock again. She was obviously a fan of sloppy blowjobs, as by now his cock and balls and the front of his jeans were drenched with her saliva, and the garage was filled with the slurping sounds she was making as she sucked his cock.While she was working on his cock with her mouth, she was busy working on his balls with her hand. She massaged and squeezed them as she sucked on his cock, pulling and tugging on them as well. Dirk gritted his teeth as she tugged on them particularly hard as she sucked on his cock very hard, dragging her mouth back up its length. Dirk knew that if she kept this up he d be cumming in her mouth in no time, and he was determined to resist as long as he could.Renee looked up at him as she paused to suck on the head of his cock yet again, the loud slurping sounds filling the garage. She winked at him before looking over at her husband, tapping her finger against the back of her other wrist, her mouth still clamped onto the head of Dirk s cock. Hal looked down at his watch and smiled.Four min
Dirk has a stimulating encounter with a friend s wife.By Original Aramis. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.Dirk was halfway through another of his wandering road trips, this time to see an old biker buddy of his who had moved two states away when he was transferred by his company. Dirk had known Hal Jenkins since high school; he was one of the few people that Dirk got along with, and they had been friends ever since. When Hal got into motorcycles Dirk had approached him about joining the MC, but Hal said he just wasn t into it so he didn t. That didn t matter to Dirk as Hal was a true biker in every sense of the word, and the two of them had gone through some pretty interesting times and some pretty interesting women before Hal was transferred.When Hal called Dirk about six months ago to invite him to his wedding, you could have knocked Dirk over with a feather. Hal was the last person besides himself that Dirk would have ever thought would get married, but Hal told Dirk that his fianc , Renee, was the woman of my dreams in every possible way and that he wanted to marry her ‘before she wises up! Dirk was unable to make the wedding since it was scheduled for the following week Hal never was one for planning things out which is one reason Dirk never thought he would ever get married but they had planned instead on Dirk riding out to see him and staying for a few days. The earliest Hal s schedule at work would let that happen was six months away, but the time had finally passed and now Dirk was sitting in Hal s man cave (his garage) with their bikes parked in the driveway, cooling off after a long day s ride. It was the afternoon of the last day of Dirk s two-day visit, and they had made the best of it. They were sitting in a couple of foldable camp chairs enjoying a couple of cold bottles of beer with Dirk still wearing his colors, talking about anything and everything, just enjoying life and each other s company.So whattaya think about my ol lady, Dirk? Hal asked, grinning at him over his beer bottle. She s really something, ain t she?Yes, she most certainly is! Dirk replied, nodding as he spoke. When he had met Renee upon his arrival, to say he was stunned would have been the understatement of the year. The best way to describe Renee was to say that she was what everyone thought about when they thought of the term 'biker chick.Renee was about five feet five inches tall and around 115 pounds, Dirk would have guessed, with just enough meat on her bones to make her look really good. Dirk also would have guessed that at least eight pounds of that would have been breast meat, because Renee had a simply magnificent pair of tits. Full and round with just the right amount of sag to make them wobble inside the white halter top she was wearing when he first saw her, they were truly a sight to behold. The halter top was showing about a mile of cleavage, something which Dirk appreciated very much, and was a perfect match for the low-slung faded jeans she was wearing. The jeans were skintight until they reached her knees and then flared out just enough to give her a retro '60s hippie kind of look. Her waist was tapered and her stomach was flat, and while not as firm as a young girl s it was still firm enough to be very enticing. The faux diamond that hung from her navel only added to the look.And to top it all off, Renee had the blackest hair Dirk had ever seen, wavy and long, going down past her shoulders nearly to the middle of her back. Her hair was very thick as well, so Dirk imagined that she had either some Italian or Middle Eastern blood in her veins. The only thing missing from Renee having a complete 'biker chick look was a tattoo or two, and when she turned to walk away from him Dirk saw not only a rounded, firm ass that swayed enticingly as she walked but a butterfly 'tramp stamp peeking out from above the waistband her jeans as well.But the thing that drew Dirk s attention the most, even more than her spectacular bustline (Dirk had always been a 'boob man ) was Renee s face, specifically her lips. Renee had big, dark brown eyes, high cheekbones, and a perfect nose that sat above the fullest, softest, most beautiful and absolutely perfect pair of lips he had ever seen.He had no idea how Hal had been lucky enough to land a woman who looked the way Renee looked, but he was glad for his old friend all the same.Yeah, I m damned lucky to have her, and you better believe I know it! Hal said, taking a pull from his beer. Dirk was just about to fire up a cigar when Hal surprised him so much with his next statement that he nearly burned his face off.And how about those lips, huh? Ain t those the best pair of dick sucking lips you ve ever seen on a broad? Hal said, grinning at Dirk.Jesus, Hal! Dirk said, shaking his hand to put out the match he was using to light the cigar.What? Hal said, looking at him.That s your wife you re talking about, you know! he said, putting the cigar back into the pocket of his vest while he was trying to make light of what he thought could turn out to be a bad situation.

Her eyes rolled back into her head as she let about half of the head of his cock out of her mouth, her big, soft lips wrapped around it as she sucked on him.

Dirk thought to himself as he watched Renee gobbling his cock over and over again.

She winked at him before looking over at her husband, tapping her finger against the back of her other wrist, her mouth still clamped onto the head of Dirk s cock.
