Getting it on with Gus.By Buckingbronco33. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories."Chloe will be at Chester's tonight, let's go back to my place." Gus grabbed my hand and pulled me quickly through the crowd and out of the door. I waved to Chloe on the way out and she shot me a wink. When we hit the night air, Gus turned back to me and brought me quickly into him, grabbing my face with his free hand and kissing me deeply. He stepped forward and pressed my back against the apartment wall forcefully. He moaned slightly into my mouth and squeezed me tighter up against him, while his tongue played with mine. As he pulled away, his teeth grazed my bottom limp and I became almost too weak to stand. He pulled my arm over his shoulder, wrapped his around my waist, and headed towards my apartment.I leaned into him and soon his hand began to wander beneath the front of my dress. I cooed as his fingers found my nipple and he pinched it ever so slightly as we walked. I let out a too-loud moan and sank deeper into his side. "Umm, that feels so good," I mumbled to him as he began massaging my tit. "I'm so wet for you..." I admitted, looking up at him as we walked. He smiled and winked at me, and I brought my free arm across my body and grabbed his belt."You're so naughty!" he laughed, pinching my nipple again, which forced me to bury my face in his chest to suppress another moan. "I love touching you like this, and watching you squirm," he whispered into my ear, allowing me to relish in his warm breath on my ear and neck. I brought my hand down slightly and placed my fingers on either side of his obvious erection over his jeans, rubbing up and down along his shaft. He shuddered slightly and let out a soft groan. "Dammit, Jane. I need to get you home. Now."He grabbed my hand and pulled me behind him while he ran the remaining 500 yards to my apartment. He swung me in front of him when he reached my door to allow me to unlock the door. I began searching for my keys in my camera bag, trying to catch my breath from the run to my place, when I feel Gus slide in right behind me. He shifts my ponytail to the side, and brings his hands down to grab my hips, pulling them back towards the raging hard-on stuffed in his jeans. He starts kissing my neck, licking and sucking occasionally, letting one hand rise and slide beneath the front of my dress to massage my tit again. I stop looking and lean back into him. I inhale sharply when his rough thumb runs over my hard nipple while he thrusts his hips forward to push against me more. His kissing becomes sloppier on my neck and he steps me forward against the door, seemingly lost in the moment. I can feel my sex swelling and dripping, begging to be touched. As if he is reading my mind, he whispers "take off your panties," in between sucking on my neck. I quickly shimmy out of my lacy underwear and use one leg to kick them up and grab them in my hand. Gus trails his hands down the front of my thighs. "I need to feel your wetness," he breathes in my ear before sucking my earlobe into his mouth. His left hand slides under my skirt, pulling it up and exposing my cunt to the chilly night air. He brings his fingers closer to my lips before stopping short, teasing me into releasing a begging moan. Finally, his fingers reach my lips and he slide one from the base of my slit slowly to the top, scooping up a finger full of my juices. "Umm" he hums into my ear, "you are soaking wet. That's so fucking sexy." I let out a loud cry as he touches me again, finding my clit within seconds and flicking it back and forth a few times. He pulls his hand away and I whimper. "Open the door," he commands, and I manage to quickly find my keys and get the door unlocked, all with the feeling of his cock pressed against my ass. The minute the door closes, Gus grabs my face with one hand and my waist with the other, and kisses me with a fire. I slide my hands between us and undo this belt, open his pants, and begin trying to pull them off. He steps back to let them fall off, kicks off his shoes and grabs me again for another kiss. I bring his Henley up and over his head, while he leans over to accommodate my shortness. Our breathing is heavy, and when we reunite the feeling of his bare skin against me is maddening. I bring my hand down into his briefs and wrap my fingers around his engorged cock, and slowly start to bring my hand up and down. He is unbelievably thick for such a long cock, what I would guess to be about 7 or 8 inches. He moans into my mouth as I touch him, and grabs the fabric at the back of my neck, bringing it over my head and letting it fall, exposing my tits for the first time.He pulls away from my grip and steps back. "You have something on your leg," he says, gesturing toward my right thigh. I notice a bead of my cunt juice running down my leg, and before I look up again, Gus gets down on his knees and grabs my ass in his hand, then slowly, he licks the spot, and continues licking up my thigh, following the line on the drop left behind. I moan gratefully. When he reaches my skirt, he pulls away and licks his lips, his eyes meeting mine. He winks at me and grabs the top of my skirt, bringing it down in one swift motion, leaving me completely naked. He stares at my bald cunt and his eyes focus on another drop of juice that is falling from my lips. He catches it on my leg with his tongue again, and this time continues licking until his tongue touches me outer lips.He hesitates here for a moment, and I grab the back of his head with my hands. "Please," I whisper, and just like that, his tongue ventures deeper into the folds of my cunt. I hold onto his head for dear life, trying to maintain my balance as wave after wave of pleasure rock through me. I feel his tongue slide from the base of my slit up to my clit, where he flicks back and forth several times before diving back in. Then, his tongue stiffens, and I feel him probing it deeper inside of me. I sway as I approach an orgasm, and his hand on my ass stabilizes me. He brings his other hand up and slides first on, then two fingers deep inside of me, in place of his tongue. "Oh, God," I cry out, leaning farther forward to shift his fingers to the perfect spot, while his tongue come forward and he sucks my clit into his mouth. "Fuck! Yes!!" I respond, grinding my clit into his face. His brings his fingers in and out of me, finger-fucking me hard, and uses his lips to rub my clit, rolling it between them. With that, I fall over the edge. My body tenses, my vagina walls tighten around his fingers and I let out a deep scream as I cum hard his Gus's face. He pulls away in front of me just in time to catch me as I fall into him, having lost the use of my legs due to the intensity of the orgasm. We fall down onto the carpet just in front of the door, and he brings me into him, kissing my neck and chest, making his way to my tits while I try to catch my breath. "That was incredible," I manage to say through labored breath as his tongue flicks across my hard nipple."Umm," he moaned into my nipple, "you taste incredible. Everywhere." He starts licking down my body, heading towards my cunt once again."I think it's your turn Mr.," I say as I pull him back up to me and kiss him fiercely. I let me tongue explore his mouth, loving the taste of my juices in his mouth. As I pull away, I push against his chest to roll us over, putting me on top. I kiss his neck, licking and sucking as he had done to me. "Relax," I cooed to him as I made my way to his chest, flicking my tongue over his nipple, then sucking it into my mouth. He gasped when I did, so I repeated the maneuver on his other nipple. I continued licking and kissing down his body until I reached his briefs."Before you do anything, you should know that I got tested three weeks ago, and I'm clean," Gus stopped me to say."When I found out Archie was cheating on me, I got tested right away. I thought I had only been with one man, but in reality, I had been with all of his fucking women, too. Luckily, I'm safe as well," I said as I pulled down his underwear and finally released his monster of a cock. I had never been with anyone except Archie, and not only did Gus eat me out better than he ever could, his cock was much more impressive. It shot up in the air when I released it, knocking me in the stomach and intimidating me with it's size. I leaned down and brought my tongue to it's base, the slowly slid it up to the tip, licking the drop of pre-cum from his head. "Yum," I said, licking my lips.I brought my head back down and slowly slid his engorged mushroom head all the way into my mouth. I flicked my tongue in circles around the head for a few seconds, eliciting a grown from Gus. I used my hand to jack his cock up and down while I played with his head for a minute longer, before quickly dropping my head down and sinking as much of his cock into my mouth as I could. Gus inhaled quickly and thrust his cock up, trying to bury it deeper into my throat. He reached the back of my throat with enough room left for my hand to stay on the base. I brought my other hand to his balls, massaging them while my tongue lapped circles around his shaft, which was still buried inside my mouth. I began bobbing up and down, alternating with my hand bobbing, often stopping to lick the base of his head gently or to suck one of his balls into my mouth. As I blew him, I got more and more of his shaft into my throat, eventually nearly bottoming out.After a few minutes, it was clear Gus was close. He was moaning frequently, and his thighs were tense and jumping. I brought as much of him into my mouth as I could, and sucked hard, then began slowly bobbing up until I reached his head. When I did, I grabbed his hand and placed it on the back of my head, then increased the pace of my bobbing. He quickly took the hint and began throat fucking me, pushing my head down hard and fast on his cock, thrusting into my face until he was deep in my throat, and pulling out again. "I'm going to fucking cum, Jane!" He cried, and thrust one more time. I pulled my head back so just his head was in my mouth, and I sucked down him cum as he squirted load after load into my mouth. I released his cock and swallowed, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand.Gus lay back, panting. "Fuck," he muttered under his breath. "That was amazing..." he said as he sat up to meet my level, still breathing heavily. He looked me in the eyes, then let his gaze trail down my naked body as I sat in front of him on my knees. "Damn," he whispered, and I blushed."You're not so bed yourself," I replied, running a finger down his chest to his happy trail, swirling a wiring hair around it playfully. "Fitting that the birthday boy ended the night in his birthday suit." At my touch, Gus started to react, his penis twitching slightly and beginning to grow again. "That was fast," I admonished as my hand drifted down to stroke his growing shaft."Your touch is electric to me," he explained, and pulled me in for a delicate kiss. "We don't have to continue if you don't want to," he said between light kisses. "I don't want to push you too far, too fast."I gave him a questioning look and rose to my feet. I took his hand and brought him to standing, then walked him towards my bedroom. I pushed him down onto my bead and crawled on top of him. "I want you, Gus," I said as I leaned down to lick his earlobe. I bit it quickly before whispering into his ear, "don't make me beg you for it." I felt his cock spring to full size against my stomach, and I ground my cunt lips into the base, lubricating it with my cunt juices."Fuck, Jane, I need to get inside of you," Gus moaned as I reached behind myself to play with his balls with one hand. He enjoyed my massage for a few moments before he sat up sharply and roughly threw me to the bed, climbing on top of me. He sucked my nipple into his mouth while his hand massaged my other tit. I found his cock with my hands and stroked softly. He brought his cock down towards my cunt and rubbed it along the lips, eliciting a moan from me. "Do you have a condom?" he questioned, breathing over my saliva-soaked nipple."Bedside drawer," I manage, gesturing to my nightstand as I grind myself into his long shaft and groan. He scrambles to the drawer, finds and condom, and struggles with the wrapper for a moment before he slides it down over his huge cock."Are you nice and wet for me?" he questions mischievously as his fingers slide over my lips, as if testing the waters."Yes..." I breathe, "get inside of me. Now." I tell him as I drag him back on top of me. He lines his head up with the entrance to my sex, and in one swift, forceful motion, he slams into me. "Fuck!" I cry out, part from pleasure and part from pain."I've wanted to fuck you for so long Jane... You are so fucking tight," Gus says to me, looking into my eyes with his cock buried deep inside of me. I start moving my hips back and forth against his cock, and soon he is thrusting in opposition. After a few minutes, his giant cock is buried fully inside of me, his balls hitting my ass when he thrusts in."Yes, Gus, Yes!" I cry out, "Harder! Fuck me harder!" I moan deeply as his speed and force increase, and I can hear his groans of pleasure. I start to tense up and know I am close to another orgasm. Gus buries his head in my neck and bits my shoulder. "Oh god, yes! I'm so close!" I yell to him.He lifts him mouth to my ear and says, "You going to cum for me, you little sex kitten?" His words send me over the edge and I lose all control as my cunt tightens around his cock, making it more difficult for him to thrust in. He pushes against the resistance, never altering his speed, to keep my orgasm going as long as possible. I feel my cum leaking around his cock and scream his name. When my orgasm subsides, I beg him to pause and give me a break to catch my breath. He stays buried inside of me, and goes back to kissing along my neck while I try not to pass out from pleasure. When my breathing slows, he brings his lips to mine and kisses me forcefully before quickly pulling his cock out of me. It felt wrong without him deep inside of me, and I whimpered."Don't worry hot stuff, there is more where that came from. Lay on your side," he commanded. I did as he asked, and found it incredibly hot when he directed me."Whatever you want, baby, I'm yours to play with," I said as I looked over my now turned shoulder and pulled him in to kiss me. He brought my body close to him and I could feel his cock poke between my legs. I pushed my tongue into his mouth, and in the same moment his head found my entrance and he plunged into me again. I gasped at this. "Fuck, that feels so fucking good," I said as I looked him in the eye. I had never fucked in this position before, and it was incredible. Gus was hitting my perfect spot with every thrust, and I soon was lost in pleasure, letting my head lean back into him as he pumped in and out of me for what felt like hours."Put your leg out, away from you," Gus whispered into my ear. He didn't have to ask me twice. I quickly brought my top leg forward and felt Gus's hand land firmly on my ass, slapping it with passion. The shift made his cock reach even deeper, and that accompanied with the hard ass slap was too much for me. "You like it when I slap your ass, you dirty little girl?" he asked as my cunt walls contracted around his cock. He reached around and started rubbing my clit furiously.I yelled out, begging him not to stop. "Oh yes, yes, right there, don't stop baby, don't stop, I'm fucking cumming! Oh God, yes! I'm cumming! Fuck!" I felt cum squirt from my vagina in what felt like buckets as my whole body spasmed uncontrollably."Oh god that was so fucking hot," Gus whimpered behind me. "I'm going to cum, too! Fuck!" he cried as his pumping increased in speed and his hands squeezed me so tightly I thought I would break beneath his grasp. Finally, his cum burst forth in string after string while his penis rested deeply inside of me. "My God, Jane. You're a fucking animal," he managed to get out before collapsing down and spooning me, his cock still buried in my folds. I snuggled into him, loving the feeling of him behind me, his warmth radiating onto me, and his penis throbbing within me. We laid there for some time, then Gus rolled over and out of me and stood up, sliding the condom from his cock. "I've never cum so much," he announced, and slapped me on the ass. "Where is the trash can?" he asked, and I pointed him to the bathroom door as I struggled to break my sex coma.I heard the shower start to run just as I was drifting off. Seconds later, Gus's arms wormed there way beneath me, and he lifted me off the bed and walked me to the bathroom. It was already steamy from the hot water. "What're you doing?" I asked him, mid-yawn,"Let's get clean," he said, setting me down and poking me in the stomach in a teasing way, getting me to giggle. I stepped into the shower and grabbed his hand, bringing him in with me. He wrapped his arms around my small frame and kissed me passionately as the water fell over our heads. The kiss grew in fervor, and he grew more forceful in his grip around me. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around him without breaking from out kiss. His hands explored my back, and he took a step forward, pushing me up against the wall of the shower. His cock popped up again between us. I ground my clit against his shaft and sighed, letting my head drop back into the shower of water."Umm, that feels good," I murmured as he licked and kissed my clavicle and neck. I used my core to continue to grind against his cock, my fingers digging into his back as I grew closer and closer. Gus was busy sucking on my ear and biting my neck lightly. One of his hands raised up and he pinched my nipple with two fingers, squeezing and tugging on it. That surprise made the difference, and I came again, nearly pushing Gus off balance with my spasms. He dropped me slowly back down, smiling devilishly at me."You liked that, huh?" he teased, his hand running through his cum soaked happy trail. I brought my hand to meet his, got some cum on my finger and brought it to my lips, nodding seductively. "Damn, you are killing me, woman!" he laughed, but his eyes locked onto me with intensity. I dropped down to my knees and brought his cock quickly back into my mouth. "Fuck!" he cried from surprise and enjoyment. I licked all around before slowly pulling him out of my mouth. I place his cock between my tits and brought them up to wrap around him. I looked up to him and let the water fall down onto my face.He began thrusting softly between my tits, but his speed soon increased, and his repeatedly hit my in the face with the head of his cock as he got more and more immersed in titty fucking me. I let my tongue hang, so his head would hit it and feel the heat and wetness of my mouth. He grabbed my head to keep himself steady and groaned as I put more pressure on my tits to tighten around his junk. His balls started slapping the underside of my tits, and I moaned in appreciation. "Titty fuck me hard, big boy," I said to him, and he cried out.His cum splashed all over my face and chest, hitting my eye, hair and the walls of the shower. I couldn't believe how much cum he had left. When he finished, I licked up the cum around the head of his cock and stood up, facing the rain to wash the cum from my face. He grabbed my tits from behind and helped clean his cum from them, still breathing heavily. "That was an impressive amount of cum," I said, looking at him over my shoulder teasingly."I know!" he agreed, laughing. "You're something else, Jane." We washed one another clean and stepped out of the shower drying off under the same towel. He brought my face to his and kissed me softly, before breaking the kiss off with a smile. "We should play question games more often" he teased, and wrapped me into a hug. We walked back to the bed and I feel on top of him. Before I fell asleep, I lifted my head to look at Gus. He slept deeply, his breathing even and eyes closed. Looking at him, I reminisced on the night I just experienced. It was hotter sex than I had ever had before, and in that moment, I was so grateful that Archie had cheated on me. This was just the beginning, not the end like I had once thought. I put my head on Gus's chest and fell asleep quickly after.By Buckingbronco33, for Literotica.

Paula Siebra is a Brazilian painter born in Fortaleza, Ceará, in 1998. The artist focuses on images related to everyday life and scenes of intimacy using Brazilian northeastern culture as her starting point. Her paintings emerge from the exploration of established themes such as portraits,  landscapes, and still lifes.  These motifs,  throughout her research,  acquire a  peculiar aspect: a certain simplification in the contours, added to a reduction in the contrast between chromatic tones, polarizing reality, and reverie - as if the artist were daydreaming about ordinary life. In addition to following a straightforward continuum from tradition, her paintings relate to an inherent visualness of her native land of Ceará and the Brazilian Northeast as a whole. She is particularly close to folk art since her interests encompass the synthetic form of clay objects, laces, and other textile works such as crochet and embroidery,  as well as the geometric and colorful architectural features of traditional houses. Surrounding villages, household objects, and anonymous faces are elements of the landscape in which the artist is immersed, appearing as if clothed by a light mist that covers everything - alternately concealing or revealing them. Her recent solo exhibitions include As primeiras coisas [The earliest things], Mendes Wood DM, New York (2024); Cristalino Segredo, Mendes Wood DM, Brussels (2023); Noites de cetim, Mendes Wood DM, São Paulo (2022); Lembrança de algum lugar, Sobrado Dr. José Lourenço, Fortaleza (2022); O Soar das Horas, Nieuwe Gentweg 21, Bruges (2023) and Arrebol, Mendes Wood DM, New York (2021). Additionally her work has been including in group exhibitions such as Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato en conversation avec Lucas Arruda, Sanam Khatibi, Patricia Leite, Paula Siebra, Marcos Siqueira, Erika Verzutti et Castiel Vitorino Brasileiro, Mendes Wood DM, Paris (2024); 74º Salão de Abril, Centro Cultural Casa do Barão de Camocim, Fortaleza (2023); Arte Laguna Prize Exhibition, Arsenale di Venezia, Venice (2023); Close, Grimm Gallery, London (2023); A Gauzy Flame, Herald St, London (2023); Pequenas pinturas II, auroras, São Paulo (2022); My reflection of you, The Perimeter, London (2022); Corpo Ancestral - 21ª UNIFOR Plástica, Universidade de Fortaleza, Fortaleza (2022); Male Nudes: a salon from 1800 to 2021, Mendes Wood DM, São Paulo (2022).

In 1942, the Taborian Hospital opened in Mound Bayou, Mississippi. At a time when most hospitals segregated Black from White patients or turned Black patients away, the Taborian Hospital provided equal treatment and care for all. There is no question that desegregation and the Civil Rights Movement improved access to healthcare for Black Americans. But today, rural hospitals increasingly face closure, and healthcare disparities continue to negatively impact Black Americans. It's worth investigating the history of the Taborian Hospital, and other hospitals that were visited and staffed by Black patients, nurses, and doctors. In this episode, we'll talk to Myrna Smith-Thompson, Dr. Ezelle Sanford III, and Dr. Vanessa Northington Gamble. Special thanks to Lauren Sausser and KFF Health News.
