Christian College Sex Comedy: Part 13 Exiled In 30 parts, By FinalStand. Listen to the podcast at Explicit Novels.             You can live without freedom the same way you can live without light, happiness, or music       Chastity, Hope, and I were exiled to our rooms for the rest of the day, and I pretty much spent it in isolation. Cordelia had disabled my own private internet hookup in case my domicile was ransacked so I was left with school work to go over. At 12:30 they brought me lunch and at 6:30 a student brought me dinner. As I was eating, there was another knock on my door. This time there was a girl I didn't recognize from the dorm. "Yes?" "Hi, I'm Alice Hendricks, and I'm your new Dorm Mother," this bright-eyed brunette with pigtails and a gymnast's body greeted me. "Good for you," I replied then started to shut the door. "Wait," she said hurriedly. "The code you gave Barbie Lynn Masters doesn't work." I sighed. "Do you see that green pad beside the keypad?" I indicated the object. "Yes," she nodded. "It is the thumb pad scanner. You enter your code and scan your thumb," I told her. She entered the code and scanned her thumb, and nothing happened. "It doesn't work," she noted. I rolled my eyes. "Let's think about this," I groaned. "You used Barbie Lynn's code and scanned your thumb." I watched as the wheels turned behind her eyes. "Oh, my thumb doesn't match the code, how is this going to work now?" she questioned. "I need to access your room." "Fine," I shrugged. I pushed her aside, covered the keypad with my body, and entered the proper code to generate a new number. "4-7-4-4 is your number. Punch it in and scan your thumb and you're set." "Good night," I told her, and headed back upstairs. "Wait. I need to check out your room," she informed me. I grunted, turned, and faced her. "Do you have a phone?" I asked. Alice nodded. "Can I see it?" She hesitated but handed it over. "You are one of the Enemy," I stated. "What do you mean?" Alice asked. I handed her phone back. "The majority of the girls in this dorm don't have phones anymore because of the Chancellor. You only have one because you are in with the Chancellor and you are pretty much going to be hated for it. Don't get caught alone in the showers, you scumbag," I warned her. "That's not fair," she declared. "Oh, we are past being fair, Alice. Now come upstairs and get your tour over with," I shrugged. Once we got there, Alice stumbled and gasped. "How am I going to search through all of this?" she wondered. "That's not my problem," I told her. "I will be in my bedroom." I went in that direction and I noted she was following me. I flopped down on my bed and listened to her low whistle. "This is your room? How did you get all this, stuff?" she inquired. "I bought all of this for the freshman class to use so we could be safe from the Handmaiden's Duty from time to time," I answered. The door opened and a double set of footsteps came running up the stairs. Rio and Iona came bolting into my room, stopping short when they saw Alice. "Hi, I'm Alice, your new Dorm Mother," she stated crisply. "What are you doing in Zane's room?" "Oh, the fuck you say?" snapped Rio. "Where the hell is Barbie Lynn?" "That is quite enough of that, Ms. Talon," Alice demanded. "Can you please give us some space?" I requested. "No, I don't think that would be wise," Alice countered. "Fine, whatever," I shrugged. "What's the news, girls?" "They sent 40 of our people to the infirmary," Rio said while glaring at Alice. "They preferred to shove us down stairs. Barbie Lynn hurt her knee and Pandora Jaspers bust her scalp open." "Alice, you are going to go out and sit on the sofa now," I told her. "No, I am not," she responded. "This is your last chance to keep things civil, Alice," I cautioned her. "You seem to have forgotten why I am here," Alice replied. "I haven't forgotten, Alice, but you clearly don't understand the cost of that decision," I said. "What is that supposed to mean?" she shot back. "Ladies, I'll see you tomorrow, but we clearly aren't going to be given any common courtesy tonight," I told my ladies. Rio came up, kissed me hungrily, and then glared at Alice. "Cordelia needs to see you at the corner of the Clegger Building at 12:15," Iona whispered in my ear as she hugged me. I gave her a wink as we parted. The girls left and I had to put up with Alice for an hour as she tried to make conversation and I did my best to ignore her. "Zane," Dana Gorman called out as I reclined on a sofa and Alice skulked around. "Over here," I motioned. "You have been temporarily reinstated by the Review Board," she informed me. "Don't waste this opportunity." It was 8:00 o'clock at night so I had to wonder what discussions had taken place. "Am I supposed to be grateful?" I scoffed. "I didn't hear an apology for treating us students so shabbily, nor Heaven being re-admitted. All you did is give us something today that you plan to take away tomorrow." "Don't be an idiot," Dana snapped. "You aren't in a position to make demands." "Well, it was nice to see you, Dana," I shrugged. "I am sorry about this morning. You were very impressive, by the way." Dana shook her head in disgust and left. "You shouldn't have been mean to Coach Gorman," Alice scolded me. I shrugged. Alice tried to be nice, insisting she wasn't in the way, but ended up staying with me until my last bathroom break. I pretty much hated her. Retribution, Removals, and Recouping strength. The post-midnight meeting with Cordelia and a rag-tag group of students was probably the most insane stunt I'd pulled for some time. I thought Cordelia was nuts but my opinion was not solicited. I was wanted for my upper body strength and long reach. See, one of the Administration's greatest tools was the school's surveillance network. As Cordelia saw it, there was one point of weakness for the system and that was in the heart of the Security Center, the system servers that coordinated all the incoming data and video feeds. We weren't going to sabotage it; that would be simple. No, we were going to steal it, and that's exactly what we did. I had to admit that was the last thing Gorman would have suspected us of trying to pull off and the best part of it was that all the surveillance devices were rendered impotent because we stole the objects that held the information of our misdeeds. We stole out the back gate of the campus and buried the equipment out in the woods. Lightning Strike I knew there would be hell to pay and I couldn't contact my normal shower-mates so I went to the shower early and was back in bed by the time Dana Gorman stomped into my room. "You weren't in the shower," she growled, "but several other students were." "Why are you angry for me not being in the shower with the girls?" I yawned. "Because it would give me leverage to make you give me back my security system, you Jackass," she snapped. "And you blame me, why?" I slipped out of the covers, naked, and started to get dressed. Dana didn't seem to mind looking me over. "This is no longer a game," Dana pointed out. "You've stolen thousands of dollars of University property. If I can't find things and quickly, I am going to have to bring in the Sheriff's Department and that equals criminal charges." "Should I take it you've made no progress in the assault on the students yesterday, or is their support for Christina good enough reason for you to let them suffer?" I continued. "You are being an idiot again," Gorman accused me. "We can deal with that once you and the others stop treating this like some social experiment and get back to your studies." "I think this is the point where we cease having anything to discuss, Coach," I muttered. Gorman looked down at the ground and clenched her fists in frustration. "A third of the Soccer team walked off yesterday. I lost half the Karate club as well," she ground out. "Archery disbanded, and it looks like Orienteering and Marksmanship will do the same today. I'm telling you, this is nuts. I've worked my ass off making this school athletically competitive and everyone is throwing that away." "I don't know what to tell you except that I doubt any of this would have happened if someone hadn't been gunning for Rio on our first day," I said. "I certainly made mistakes but you made the first one. I do have one thing I want you to think about." "What is it?" she asked warily. "How do you like your war now?" I stated with intensity. She didn't laugh it off this time. "You think this is going to keep going?" she questioned. "You have our backs against the wall; you are beating and expelling us," I explained. "We don't have many options." "I won't let you win," she said evenly. "I'm afraid it is out of our hands, Dana," I warned her. I didn't know for sure things were going to spiral out of control but I couldn't see any way out of it. Dana shook her head and left. Around 6:45 Alice came to escort me to breakfast. She talked; I remained quiet until I picked up Rio, Valerie, and Iona. We were crossing campus to the Dining Hall when Valerie nudged me. I looked in the same direction she was and saw Hope walking across the lawn on a definite mission. It didn't take me a second to see where she was heading; Rhaine and two of her associates were in huddled conversation. Rhaine never saw what hit her. Hope did a spin kick to her head and sent her flying. She punched the other two, followed up with a heel kick to one and two blows to the head to the last one. Hope then swooped down, snatched up their phones, and rapidly walked away. The first attack hadn't lasted ten seconds. "This is your last chance to get out of this," I whispered to Valerie. "I'm sorry, Mother," Valerie sighed. I didn't have time to know what that meant because I figured the open nature of Hope's attack was Christina's way of telling the rest of us it was time to strike back for what Rhaine's people had done to our side yesterday. I turned and clocked Alice hard enough to knock her down. "Rio, get her phone," I hissed to my friend. Rio was surprised for a second, then jumped on Alice's body. People around us began murmuring but most were in shock. I didn't wait around because I had spotted a group of five of Rhaine's people a few feet ahead. The ripples of Hope's attack started to reach them when I kicked the first one in the back. Valerie was right at my side, flipping a second girl over before she had a chance. I saw Iona grabbing up their phones even as we fought on. The remaining three were able to turn and face us but it didn't do them any good. We steamrolled over them, punching and kicking them into the ground. The first girl near us began to scream as I closed on the next group. This turned out to be Joy and Mercy. Valerie was about to pummel them but I held her back. "Joy, Mercy, sit on the ground and give us your phones," I growled. They hesitated and tried to back up. "Mercy, do it," Rio hissed. "I don't want to see you get hurt." That did it for Mercy, and she took to her seat and handed her phone to Rio. Rio showing compassion toward Mercy was unlooked for and something we'd have to talk about when this bout of madness ended. Joy went down beside Mercy, allowing Valerie and I to move on. By the time we closed on the fourth group, the general student body had figured out something bad was happening and parted like the Red Sea as we approached our quarry. The three girls we approached knew we were coming. I could read their disbelief in their eyes; they couldn't imagine that the attacks they'd perpetrated on our people were coming back to haunt them. One got a blow into my stomach before we finished them off, giving their downed forms a few extra kicks before heading for our last targets. There were four of them, with the added complications of a history teacher named Mrs. Cunningham who was a matronly, sixty-something-year-old instructor. They were standing at the four doors that entered into the Dining Hall and if I had been them, I would have run, but I guessed that the teacher standing so close made them assume we'd hold back; we didn't. The first girl stepped up to say something to me when I split her lip and sent her stumbling back. I kicked the one farthest away while Valerie punched another one in the throat. I chased the second girl down and while she was bent over, I pounded her in the cheek and planted her in the ground. I spun back and kicked the first girl in the face, flipping her over, and witnessed Valerie run the fourth girl into a door and knock her out. Mrs. Cunningham finally recovered enough to grab my arm. "What are you doing?" she muttered weakly. "Yesterday, these girls thought it would be fun to kick some of their fellow students down some stairs, landing them to the infirmary," I responded. "Today they reaped what they sowed." I had no idea if any of the girls I'd attacked had actually beaten up any of Christina's people, but that wasn't the point. The Administration had let Rhaine's girls know that they wanted Christina's people intimidated and suppressed. Not being schooled in the application of force, things had escalated when Christina's people had not backed down. The Chancellor had let them think they were entitled and we'd just shown them they were not; they were going to be held accountable for what they did. Mrs. Cunningham released me and bent over the first moaning girl. Iona came up with a handful of phones. "What do we do with these?" she asked. "Give them to me," chuckled Rio. She took the phones, took out the memory cards, and chucked the phones up on the roof. In the end, Christina only used twenty of us to send eighty of Rhaine's people to the infirmary, and we accomplished it all in under five minutes. We brazenly arrived at breakfast, most of us making for the food line but Rio sprinting for the bathrooms to flush the evidence. Up with the teachers, things were in utter chaos. Gorman's walky-talky didn't seem to be working (thank you, Cordelia) so she grabbed the closest student and wrote them a message. She handed it to the girl (a freshman) who promptly read it, then ate it right in front of the coach. Coach sat that girl down, grabbed a second girl. This one took the message and ran straight to the bathroom and flushed it. Around Chancellor Bazz a storm was boiling over. Several teachers had witnessed the violence and wanted something done about it before one of them was drug into the matter by means of a physical confrontation. They were demanding the attacking students to be rounded up immediately. Several teachers, led by Doctor Larson, were begging, pleading, and demanding that the Chancellor call it quits with this whole suppression scheme. Bazz refused to budge, ordering Gorman to round everyone up and hold them in the parking lot. Gorman was trapped. "That's insane," Dana snapped. "What am I going to round them up with, students? We've seen how well that's worked. I don't have enough security guards to peacefully bring them in and my only alternative is to bring in the Sheriff's Department and use force, and I'm not going to do that." "You will if I tell you to," the Chancellor threatened. Dana threw her hands up in the air and backed away. She paced for about a minute, long enough for us to get our food and take our seats, which were all in one section of the Dining Hall due to some 'screw up' (read: Cordelia) in their seating assignment. There appeared to be around three hundred of us now and morale was high. I caught sight of Gorman angling toward Christina and starting to talk. Christina signaled for her to stop but only long enough to summon three people to her, one being me. Temperance, the senior, was one of them, and the third was a girl I'd only known by her photograph. She was Hannah Cartwright, the Sophomore Class President. "I'm asking for a cease-fire," Dana reiterated. "The fighting ends on both sides, strict discipline will be enforced for any and all infractions, and there will be no administrative actions for what has happened over the past forty-eight hours." "We want our phones, tablets, and laptops back, plus the ability to use them," Temperance stated. "All expulsions are to be cancelled and the procedure to bring Heaven back is to begin immediately," I continued. Dana nodded to both addendums. "I want my security system back," Dana countered. "We will start looking for it as soon as this deal goes through," Christina agreed. "That is the best I can hope for," Dana sighed. She stuck out her hand to Christina, who stood and shook it. "Deal?" Christina looked around to get our consensus. "Deal," Christina echoed. I wanted to sit back and savor our partial victory but Christina was tense and nervous and that infected us all. When Dana got back to the Chancellor, she made her case. Doctor Bazz glared at her for a moment but the words that followed, while spoken in a low voice, reverberated throughout the hall. "That's idiotic; we will not negotiate with these children. Your incompetence has led us to this point, Ms. Gorman; you are fired." Several teachers immediately protested but Dana simply put down her walky-talky, turned, and strolled out of the room. Doctor Bazz cancelled classes for the day and confined everyone to their dorm rooms and dorm floors until the situation was resolved. Christina told us to ignore the travel restrictions but to keep in groups and avoid confronting security. When we were ordered from the hall, I noticed everyone was traveling in groups now, even the teachers. Things had become totally crazy. As Valerie, Rio, Iona and I returned to our dorm, we ran across Alice coming back from the nurse's office. When she saw us, she looked hurt and a bit afraid, but she showed enough courage to confront me. "Why did you hit me?" she demanded. "I did nothing to deserve that." "Alice, you were sent to spy on me, or did you search every dorm room as thoroughly as you searched mine?" I shot back. "I was told to do that when I accepted the position of Dorm Mother," she replied. "Did it occur to you that I might resent being singled out for persecution and, if given a chance, I'd strike back?" I explained. "If not, it should have, especially after yesterday." "I had nothing to do with what happened to those other girls," she shook her head. "Listen, you stupid cunt," Rio snapped. "You got orders from the same person who sent those girls to hurt our friends." "When you chose to take Barbie Lynn's place, you placed yourself side by side with those mean girls, Alice," Iona added. "You chose to be a soldier in their army. Soldiers get shot, even if they don't get involved in shooting at the enemy themselves." "It is time for you to go," Valerie told Alice. Alice stayed in the hallway as the rest of us walked away. By the time we made it to my door, Pandora, Paige, Brandi, and Opal had joined us. "Cordelia wants your hook-up activated once more," Pandora informed me. She had a bruised right eye and a bandage above the eyebrow. "She figures any minute now, the Chancellor will shut down our regular internet lines." "Sure thing," I agreed. "I'll get the hot oil and work Valerie over after that tough fight she was in," Rio volunteered. "Boundaries," Valerie cautioned my buddy. "Besides, if anyone works over this body, it will be Zane." Rio chortled and I gave the tall biker-chick a skeptical look. "Just kidding," she laughed, "though we both could probably use some stress relief." That train of thought was interrupted by a fresh group of freshmen entering the area. I went over to one of the glass panels that gave me a view over the campus. Small groups of students were violating the curfew, and here and there a lone campus security guard gave chase but it was an uneven struggle. Students could run inside a dorm and vanish, and Campus Security didn't have the resources to search every dorm room. The pair that came up the stairs thirty minutes later was a real stunner. It was Barbie Lynn with her knee wrapped up, being supported by, Dana Gorman. Dana also had a backpack that clinked very time she moved. "Look what I found sneaking across campus," Gorman snorted. No one said anything; she was the Evil Henchman, after all. "Thanks, Dana," I said, as I took Barbie off her hands, "take a seat and relax for a while. What brings you to my room, anyway?" Barbie looked terribly concerned by this turn of events. "My cable is dead, no internet or TV, and I don't have access to the few remaining security systems, so I figured if anyone had access to the outside world, it would be you," Dana related. "What do you need?" I continued. "I'd like to watch some international soccer," she told me. I looked toward Paige, who shrugged, then nodded. Dana took a spot on the closest sofa to a TV and sat down. She unzipped her backpack and pulled out a beer. Rio homed in on that and jumped over the sofa beside Dana. "What do you think you are doing?" Dana asked Rio as my friend put her hand into the satchel. "Getting a beer; I figure we are all rebels here," Rio smirked. "No, you are a rebel; I'm unemployed, and I don't want to add a criminal conviction for giving alcohol to a minor to my list of accomplishments," Dana explained. "Come with me," Valerie commanded, as she scooped up Rio's arm and headed away. "Let's play some pool." "Oh!" Rio bubbled, "Are you going to use your big hard stick on me?" "Yes; it is called caning," Valerie retorted. Barbie Lynn, Iona, & Zane Iona was looking lost with everyone seemingly going in different directions, so I took her by the hand and, with Barbie Lynn, retired to my bedroom. "I love you two," I sighed as the stress slowly started to recede. Barbie Lynn pulled close to my side and when I looked at her, we kissed. Iona pressed into my front and rested her head on my chest. Our lips parted and I looked to Iona, who was giving me a wide-eyed smile. We kissed for some time until Barbie Lynn began massaging my rod through my pants. I returned to Barbie until Iona hugged me tight, resulting in me going back and forth for a while. "Let's go to bed," Iona suddenly spoke up. Barbie Lynn chuckled at the smaller girl's assertiveness while I marveled at how far she'd come from the scared girl who had grabbed my arm only a few weeks earlier. I sat Barbie Lynn down on the edge of the bed and worked off her skirt first. I stopped Iona from doing the same, preferring to undress her next. I alternated taking off items of clothing until they were finally naked on the bed, side by side before me. "Well, Zane," Barbie Lynn began, sliding one leg up until the heel was touching her thigh. "What are you waiting for," Iona finished, mimicking Barbie's movements. "I would like to express right now how much I've missed the both of you," I swore to them. "Less talk; more action," Barbie Lynn instructed. I began stripping as fast as I could and the girls crawled underneath the covers. Iona was on her back, propped up on her elbows as I finished shedding my clothes. Barbie Lynn surprised her by rolling onto her side and taking a nipple into her mouth, causing Iona to give a startled squeak. Iona had not expected to be the center of our attention, that was normally Barbie Lynn's role, so she couldn't mount an effective defense against our combined affections. We each feasted on a nipple, taking the occasional stop to kiss Iona deeply, or one another, with Iona's breasts rubbing against our cheeks. Both our hands made our way to Iona's honey box, pulled her reluctant legs apart, and began rubbing all over her pubic area. We pushed fingers almost a knuckle deep into her super-tight virgin cunt. Barbie and I spread her juices around, making the whole pubic mound slick and fluid. We even put our fingers on opposite sides of her clit and rolled them back and forth, sending her over the edge. "Jesus," she panted. "Oh, thank you, thank you, oh, thank you," she gasped. "This feels so good, Yes!" she cried out. At this point, I was thinking about letting Iona go but Barbie Lynn kept flicking her clit and probing her cunt while sucking in and twirling her breast. I added a finger to the mix and kissed Iona, who desperately tried to suck my tongue out of my mouth, ouch! At the same time, Iona's back arched off the bed again and again, her thighs trembled, and she clutched at the headboard so hard it shook. At the point I feared Iona's heart would explode, I pushed Barbie Lynn's hand away and she looked up with her lips slick with the saliva generated by sucking on Iona's tits. "She is the best friend I've made all year," Barbie Lynn confided in me. "Better than me?" I questioned. "Honey," she drawled, "I think we can agree you're a tad more than a friend." "What am I, then," I teased; "pen pal, cyber-fan, bosom buddy?" "I think bosom buddy, she grinned as she squeezed her magnificent orbs together, ", is closer to what I'm aiming for." "My cunt is still quivering," Iona mumbled in a tiny voice. "Did I lose my virginity?" "No, Baby," Barbie Lynn cooed to her, "You had a really good one is all. That is what an orgasm is supposed to feel like. That is what Zane does to me every time." Huh? I do? "Oh," Iona sighed dreamily, "I like that. Isn't it your turn now?" "It certainly is, and Zane knows what I want, don't you," she winked. "I'll get it," I feigned annoyance, "but I'm still going to take my time with you. I'm not rushing into anything." "I like the way you think," Barbie Lynn purred. She laid out on the bed, her beautiful breasts spreading out and her hair cascading over the pillows she rested on. It hurt to move away from the sight of her. I got a small tube of lube, crawled over to her, and wedged the tube to the small of her back. Letting her body warm it up would make the sensation more pleasurable. "Whoa, that's cold," she gasped and wiggled. "Let me warm you up, then," I grinned. I moved underneath the sheets and then between her legs. "Hello," she said demurely, my body poised over hers, our faces nose to nose. She rested her elbows on my shoulders with her arms up. "This feels good, Zane, feels right." Her thighs pressed against mine and my cock rested on her pubic mound. I moved my face down and stole a quick kiss. Barbie followed suit and soon we were lip-locked. In time we were trading kisses on the neck and earlobes, our heads playfully moving back and forth. When I reached the top of her breastbone, Barbie Lynn flinched; she'd tried to loop her bum knee over my leg and the pain had been a sharp reminder of her limitations. I lowered myself and took a nipple into my lips and tickled it with my tongue. "Does that make it feel better?" I teased her. "Uh-huh," she purred, "now get back to it." I hardly felt inclined to deny her request and began alternating each nipple and breast. I let my lips and tongue go over every inch of her breast, especially along the base where a slight taste of sweat mixed with the scent of her body soap. "Zane, I want you in me," she pleaded with sultry passion. "But I want this," I responded, running my hand along her puffy cunt lips. "I promise we can do that later, you know how much I love your tongue, but I'm missing something else even more," she expressed her desire. I thought about the body dynamics of the situation and decided the best solution was to roll Barbie Lynn's hips on their side, lifting her left, uninjured leg to my shoulder. Retrieving the warm lube, I rubbed some liberally over her ass hole and two of my fingers, pushing the middle finger gently in first. Barbie Lynn flexed her body and moaned as the finger pressed into her. Soon she was rocking her hips and pushing down on my hand. "That still looks painful," Iona whispered as she moved in for a closer look. "The pleasure far exceeds the pain, Shugah." Barbie Lynn expressed what was about to come. I leaned/crawled over her hips, one hand still working Barbie's tits over while I kissed a nipple and tugged on it with my teeth. Barbie was letting her arm roam around when Iona intercepted it and put the blonde's fingertips to her mouth. Unbidden, Iona began sucking on those fingers and I could see that Barbie was torn between the eroticism of the act and the fact it was innocent little Iona who was doing it. Barbie Lynn used her free hand to push her succulent boob deeper into my mouth, not that there was any way I could get it all into my mouth. Iona went from finger to finger, spending extra time on the thumb. Barbie's chest began heaving from the excitement and took a jolt when I sunk my second finger into her rectum. "Are you okay?" Iona worried. "Yes, yes, yes," Barbie Lynn exulted happily, "and it's going to get better real soon." I decided to move two fingers along her sopping wet slit and let my thumb depress her clit and rub it around. "Aha, ah, oh, yeah," she panted as my hands began working in tandem. I could tell Barbie Lynn was fighting a losing battle against her orgasm and I wasn't in a mood to make things easy. I rammed my two fingers deep into her ass while biting her nipple and strumming her clit as fast as I could. "Lord Jesus loves Me!!!!" she went off. "Gah! Yeah, yeah, oh, ugh, baby, Yes!" Barbie Lynn went on and on with increasing volume. Her cunt dripped all over my fingers, slick and sensual to my touch. I brought those fingers to my lips, going back for a second taste while her body still shook from her climax. "Don't mind us," Rio announced as she strolled into my room, pulling a reluctant Mercy behind her. "My bitch is here and I'm going to bite a chunk off." "Hi, Mercy," Iona waved. Mercy shot her an embarrassed smile. Rio led her to the far side of the bed. I was a bit concerned that too many people were coming into my room but I couldn't look everywhere and pay attention to Barbie Lynn and Iona too. I took up the lube and coated my cock. Before I could spread it out evenly, Iona reached down and did the job for me, even sharing a shy smile with me as she did so. She even helped me lodge it against Barbie Lynn's anus. Iona felt the tension along my cock until Barbie's sphincter gave way and let me in, then she moved her hand away. "Wow," she whispered, even as Barbie Lynn sighed in satisfaction. As a counterpoint, we heard "On your knees, Slut-Bunny," Rio barked to Mercy. She pushed Mercy forward face-first on the bed, flipped up her skirt, and took a bite out of her ass. Mercy yelped and buried her face in the sheets. Sometimes Rio could be sane, but totally nuts was her default setting. I measured the tremors in her body as I gently pressed my body onto Barbie Lynn's hips, deepening the penetration of my cock into her back passage. "Oh, God, Zane," she moaned. "This never gets old, filling me up like you do." I slapped her meaty ass cheek hard enough to leave an angry red handprint. Barbie gave a deep intake of breath that became a squeal of joy. Mercy grunted as Rio yanked her panties off her ass and down her legs. "Crawl over there and give Barbie Lynn a kiss," Rio demanded. Mercy gulped and hesitated to respond so Rio hauled off and smacked her ass hard enough for people outside the room to hear. Mercy's eyes grew wide, her mouth gaped open, and her cheeks flushed, then she smiled. She made her way slowly across the bed, clearly enticing Rio to spank her several more times. Mercy first brought Barbie Lynn's gaze over toward her by tipping her chin with one careful hand. The first kiss was tentative and tender. SMACK! "Kiss her like you want to be kissed, you whore!" Rio taunted Mercy. As she spanked her with one hand, she drove two fingers into Mercy's cunt with the other. I had to assume that Mercy was already pretty wet because instead of pulling away from the penetration, Mercy leaned forward on her elbows while thrusting her hips back against Rio's intrusion. While I was being sensitive to the slow burn Barbie Lynn was going through, Rio drove her hand rapidly like a maniac. It was a good thing that Mercy liked it rough, but then she chose to be with Rio as much as Rio chose to pick on her. At the opposite side of the expression spectrum, Iona curled up against Barbie's other side and let her lips gracefully flit along the shoulder and arm. Mercy returned for another kiss at the same time I reached my full expansion inside of Barbie Lynn. "Oh, my," Barbie gasped. I waited as she adjusted internally while Mercy kissed her with a lot more passion and intensity. That didn't stop Rio from administering a few more sharp smacks to Mercy's bottom, compelling Mercy to rumble with a hunger for more. Iona let her lips migrate from arm to hip, and leading up Barbie Lynn's hip to my stomach. "Reach a hand back here and take over, you slut," Rio told Mercy. When Mercy made the maneuver, Rio began stripping down. Unlike this weekend, she had only her two labia piercings in, though she still had her tattoo along the hip. She gave me both raised eyebrows to go along with her insane grin as the clothes finished coming off. I partially withdrew my member from Barbie Lynn, eliciting a moan. Iona settled up against me, resting her hands on my chest and hip. I kept a grip on Barbie's hip and slipped a hand around Iona's hip and buttocks, rubbed it along her anus, ending at her cunt. "Ugh," Iona grunted, as I stroked her kitty and sunk a finger inside. The group of us got into a rhythm once Rio knelt behind Mercy and began lapping up her cunt and squeezing her ass. By the way Barbie Lynn was pushing and rotating her hips, grabbing the sheets in tight fists and moaning between her kisses with Mercy, she was approaching her second orgasm. "Zane, Jesus Christ, Zane, oh, God, Baby, ah, aha, Yes!" she screamed. Her ass muscles gripped, twisted, and squeezed my cock so hard, it took all my concentration to not shoot off into her rectum. Barbie Lynn kept pulsing and rocking over the sheets as waves of intense pleasure crested and slowly worked its way through her system. Iona and I started seriously kissing as she stood on her knees beside me. "I want to try something," I told her. "He wants to try something?" I heard Valerie's voice talking to an unseen party. "Somehow the current five-way isn't enough for him." There was a snort in agreement of that. I pumped Barbie Lynn four times in quick succession, then leaned back until my cock was at the very edge of leaving her ass. My torso pivoted, I slipped my arms between Iona's legs and pulled her up by her buttocks and to me. "What?" she gasped. As Iona rose up and I twisted back to a face-forward position, I licked and tongue-tickled my way from her chest, to her stomach, and finally to her pubic hair. "Ah, oh, okay," Iona exhaled with pleasure. She put her hands on my shoulders, moved higher, and moved her legs over my arms and rested them on my shoulders. I still had to hold tight to her ass and raise her to the point I could get my mouth fully on her clit and moist lips. "Oh, damn," Rio giggled, "Zane's making me pull out my toys." SMACK! "Mercy, you behave." Rio moved off the bed, stopped, and said, "You had better not remember where I'm getting these from," to another person. "I wouldn't think of it," Dana Gorman allowed. Clearly my surprise showed in my body because she spoke again. "I wanted to see what all my girls were giggling and whispering about in the showers. I put it down to standard virgin girl hysteria. Now, " "I half expect some porn director to say 'Cut, print' at any second," Valerie added. I really didn't need my sex life critiqued at this moment. I was balancing one girl on my face, licking her silly, while pounding Barbie Lynn's ass. Seriously, can't a man have a simple three-way with two college girls in his room in peace? I was soon too overwhelmed by the price of my sexual ambition to worry about that question. I drank deep of Iona's nectar, licking along the folds from top to bottom while letting my upper lip press against her throbbing clit. She took one hand from my shoulder, wrapped it up in my hair, and cautiously pushed my face deeper into her cunt. "Oh, God, Zane, ah, yes, yes, yes," she panted. "That's it, right there, Ah!" Iona began riding my face with greater and greater vigor. Barbie Lynn gyrated against my crotch. I heard a vibrator cut on and Mercy groaned as Rio did something to her. I suspected that was moving her off Barbie because Barbie began using greater force against me. I began to feel a tightness building up in my guts as my blood pounded from the exertions I was putting myself through. "Come here, Mercy," Rio coaxed, "On your back, my little slut, and spread those legs." I wished I could see what she was up to because soon Mercy was moaning and gurgling all over the place. "Please, Rio," Mercy pleaded, "please, " "Do you like that?" Rio teased. "Wiggle that ass for me, then, Baby." "Ah, oh, Rio, I love you," Mercy moaned. Smack! "None of that, you skank," Rio snapped. "You are my toy, nothing more." "Yes," sobbed Mercy. "Good girl," Rio responded. Mercy gave off a hiccup, then a gasp of pleasure. "You know you are my tight-ass whore; right?" Her victim lurched and moaned several more times. "Yes, yes, I understand," Mercy gasped. "I'm yours, whenever, you want." SMACK! "Good girl. Now shake that ass, Bitch," Rio continued. Mercy began making choking, sobbing sounds. "Don't you dare cum until you get me off. Work that tongue like you mean it." I could now visualize Rio and Mercy in a sixty-nine, Rio on top, with a dildo up Mercy's ass. While figuring that out, I almost missed Iona starting to spasm on my face. I could feel her cunt contracting on my tongue. One hand was yanking and releasing my hair while the fingernails on the other dug into my shoulder. I moved my tongue and latched onto her clit with my lips and sucked on it for all I was worth. "Ah, oh, oh, oh, Zane!" Iona screamed. Her fluids dripped over my nose, into my mouth, and down my chin, but that wasn't my problem. My problem was that Iona's body was convulsing, bending her backward toward the head of the bed and me forward into Barbie Lynn. Of course, if I couldn't stop Iona's progress, she'd topple onto Barbie Lynn too. "Oh, God fuck damn!" Barbie exploded as I rammed my full length into her inadvertently. "Jesus, love, which was cut off by her orgasm taking over. Her anal muscles constricted and that was it for me. Hot semen shot down Barbie's gut, causing her to scream even louder. My whole body was trembling from my ejaculation, plus the strain the two women were putting on me. Somehow I hung on long enough for Iona to reach behind her, catching the headboard, while Barbie Lynn extended her arms up to brace Iona from tumbling over. "Fuck, yeah, that's what I'm talking about," Rio laughed. "Mercy, you can come now." "Uh, uh, thank, oh, God," Mercy gasped out. "Rio, umm, ugh," she choked out before she buried her face into Rio's cunt and muffled further expressions of ecstasy. "Gurr," Rio growled, before burying her face into the top of Mercy's thigh. I figured by Mercy's thrashing that Rio took a bit of a nip out of her playmate's flesh. In a shuddering heap of sweaty flesh, Iona, Barbie Lynn, and I flopped onto the bed without anyone being crushed. They lay there while I remained on my knees. "Damn," Valerie chuckled, "I feel like a virgin all over again." "Hell, I need to take a shower and I just sat here," Gorman agreed. I moved between Barbie Lynn and Iona. "Fuck, he's still hard." "Zane's like that," Barbie Lynn laughed between gasps of breath. "He's always hard after the first round, God bless his soul." Iona snuggled into me, kissing my chest between gulps of air. "It's only been thirty minutes," Iona sighed. "We'll let him recharge a little bit before going at him again." "Yes, my ass hurts," Barbie Lynn added. "I won't be ready for, say an hour." Rio dismounted Mercy and rolled next to Barbie Lynn. "Mercy, get up here and kiss me, damn it," Rio breathed huskily. Mercy staggered around on all fours and crawled up Rio's body until she straddled her. A dreamy smile on her face, Mercy went to kiss Rio on the lips but Rio stopped her. "No, you don't, you cunt," Rio chastised her. "Here," she indicated her chin. Mercy kissed it. Rio then led Mercy on a slow quest over her nose, cheeks, earlobe, and finally the lips. Rio grabbed Mercy's hips and pulled the older girl down on top of her. "Okay, I have to ask; how did Rio end up in bed with Mercy? Mercy is one of my better martial artists and Rio is, well, Rio, kind of an annoying little twerp," Gorman wondered. "I won her playing bingo," was Rio's smarmy comeback. "They developed a relationship when you put her in our path," I was a bit more honest. "Mercy discovered something about herself and someone in Rio who could satisfy her needs." To emphasize the point, Rio spanked Mercy's ass hard and the girl humped Rio in response. "So, besides Cappadocia, are there any of my other girls you, have a relationship with?" Dana inquired. She even leaned forward on the chair she was sitting on. "What makes you think Cappy and I have a thing?" I asked. "On Monday," Dana rolled her eyes at my naivet , "she hated you and on Wednesday, she couldn't keep her eyes off of you and couldn't drive the other teammates out of the gym for your, private lesson. Just because I'm over thirty doesn't mean I'm soft in the head." "That's not fair, Coach," Rio smiled past Mercy. "We never thought you were bright." Before I could say or do anything, Barbie Lynn elbowed her. "Ow!" Rio snickered. "Why are you hitting me?" "I owe you. You said a bad thing, and Zane says never fight yesterday's battles. Now that the Coach is no longer the bad girl, we don't pick on her," Barbie Lynn explained. "But I'm always annoying," Rio countered. "Why is this time special?" "Rio, don't you think Zane deserves a break? He's always throwing himself onto the train tracks for you and you give him shit for it," Barbie Lynn sounded a bit cross. "After all, you wouldn't have Mercy if you'd had your way. Zane was right about you being good for the rest of us to know, and he was right about saving Mercy. I trust him about Coach because I trust you too." "Trust, smust, I'll keep my spank-o-matic," Rio grimaced. She clearly got Barbie Lynn's point but admitting it at the moment wasn't in her. "So, does anyone want to give Mercy a hard spanking? If not, I'm going to get my big strap-on and ream her ass until she is so hoarse, she can't scream anymore." "Don't you think you two need to grow together before using the 'OMG' model?" I warned her. That thing would tear Mercy's unprepared ass to shreds. I reached over Barbie Lynn and spanked Mercy four times, two to each ass cheek. She yelped and jolted with each contact, and while tears welled in her eyes, she couldn't have been happier. "I'm getting my favorite strap-on, then," Rio wiggled from under Mercy. "Hold her back," Valerie joked. "She's lost her mind." Mercy buried her face in the bed, shook her head, and raised her ass up in the air. "Fine, if it's the Spas-monkey you want, so be it." "Have some of this," Barbie Lynn fished out the lubricant and handed it to Mercy. "I don't know how patient Rio is going to be when she gets back." Rio, who was only a few feet away getting out and attaching her strap-on, stuck out her tongue at Valerie and Barbie. "Spas-monkey? I prefer Vibrator-Bunny, or didn't you two get my tweet?" "How about Vibrating Spas?" Iona suggested. Rio howled and charged the bed. "That's it," she giggled, "that tight little virgin ass-hole is mine!" Iona squawked and buried herself under my side. "That's my virgin ass to nurture and enjoy, bro, not yours," I taunted Rio as I reached around and put a comforting arm around Iona. I wasn't sure how Iona would take that. Her kisses to my ribs ended those worries. "I'll nipple twist you for her," Rio grinned. Belying her threat, she was lining up behind Mercy while Mercy was rubbing lube all along her ass cleft and anus. "I never considered the benefits of anal sex in a school full of virgin school girls," Valerie mused. "Oral sex, I expected, but not anal." "Somehow, when the Founders created the Purity Pledge, I suspect they were forbidding all kinds of intercourse, but they never counted on Zane," Dana stated. "Rio, I'm not going to take you on in a contest you love and I hate," I smiled. "How about a shoot-off? I'll spot you two orgasms." "Four," Rio hissed. She'd spread the oil over her dildo and was slowly pushing it into the ass of Mercy. Mercy had her face still buried in the sheets, her fists balled up and her hips pushing back. "Uh, uh, uh," Mercy groaned, as Rio penetrated with short jabs. She rested her hands on Mercy's shoulder and neck. "Okay, now I'm grateful I sleep on my back," Valerie commented. "I promised Zane I wouldn't break her, but if I felt that poking my hiney, I'd stick it somewhere she'd not soon forget." "Do the world a favor and stick it in her mouth," Dana smirked. "Hardy, har-har," Rio chuckled. She reached down beside Mercy, retrieved her vibrator, and began rubbing it along that girl's cunt slit and clit. Barbie Lynn reached for my cock and began stroking it, rubbing it along her ass and between her cheeks. "I need another beer," Dana sighed. "All this is doing is reminding me that plastic doesn't really get the job done." "Get me a Coke and I'll get the popcorn," Valerie said. "After all, I have an open invitation to join whenever I want." I had to wonder when that had happened, then I remembered Rio and her big mouth. Iona had settled in on her side, head propped up on her elbow, as she watched me push into Barbie Lynn once more. I had my hands on her hip and thigh, pushing in with more force this time around. "Feels, so, good," Barbie Lynn sighed, as my cock filled up her rectum. "Make me feel good, Daddy." I lifted up her left leg, then gingerly took her wounded leg and raised it to my shoulder as well. As I felt the deep reaches of her bowels envelop me, Barbie Lynn arched her back and let out a sob of joy. "Oh, that's what I need," she moaned, "That's what I've missed." Unlike our first round, this time we were raw with our hunger for one another. I kneaded her breasts, teasing and pulling the nipples from time to time. Her body was folded up so that our faces were close enough for me to lock onto those gorgeous bedroom blue eyes. Barbie licked her lips and blew kisses at me. I was so into Barbie sensually that I almost missed Mercy going off next to us. "Oh God, oh fuck, oh God!" she verbally exploded. "Please!!!" Rio kept up the slap, slap, slap of her thighs against Mercy's ass. "Don't you give up on me, Bitch," Rio taunted her. She grabbed a handful of Mercy's hair and pulled her shoulder up off the bed until she was balancing on her hands and knees. Rio shot a look my way and mouthed 'I love you' as she kept working Mercy over into one cascading orgasm after another. I was pounding deep into Barbie Lynn's tight orifice, Rio was happy, and Iona was giving me a dreamy, contented look. Life could hardly be better. "Zane, we need to, Oh, My God!" Virginia Goodswell cried out in a shocked voice. "Here, have my seat, Virginia," Gorman grinned. "You look like you are about to fall over." I hadn't even heard Dana or Valerie return. "Zane, what are you doing?" Virginia questioned. "I'm a little busy," I ground out. Fucking was hard, attention intensive, and pleasurable work. "Virginia, he's having anal intercourse with Barbie Lynn Masters," Dana chuckled. "I thought that would have been obvious. Rio Talon is using a strap-on and a dildo on Mercy Chaplain, and Iona, having been touched and licked to two orgasms, is sitting this round out." "I can see that and, Dana, what are you doing here?" Virginia, my Spiritual Advisor, asked. "I'm unemployed so they aren't my students anymore," Dana snorted. "Also, Zane's got one of the few illegal internet hook-up plus satellite TV. My apartment is a tomb, comparatively." "This was the farthest thing from my mind when I learned my Dad was sending me to an All-Girl Christian University," Valerie added. "It is the skirts," Rio giggled. "Zane can't keep his hands off the skirts." "In my experience, Zane has the pathological desire to worship the female form," Iona joined in. "Listen, I knew Zane was having, relationships, but coming in and finding him in bed with four women, girls, students is a bit much to wrap my mind around," Virginia related. "My sex life has been a bit vanilla." "I prefer to think of mine as disappointing," Dana confessed. "All my boyfriends have lived under threat of dismemberment, so I've had it pretty safe too," Valerie stated. "Threat of dismemberment?" Virginia stammered. "She's a member of a major criminal biker organization in the Rockies," Dana informed her. "We are a motorcycle club," Valerie defended her family. "I'm having sex here," I growled. "If you don't mind, " "We are good, Zane," Valerie replied. "Don't worry about us, and Barbie needs you." "Gee, thanks," I grumbled, but she was right; Barbie Lynn needed my attention. "Ms. Palmer, every one of your known associates, except your baby sister, has a criminal record," Dana said. "I've never been convicted of anything," Val countered, "and Mom got off on a bad search." Mercy cried out as Rio shifted to sharp powerful jabs with her artificial cock. "I've got a record," Rio crowed proudly. "That only means you were sloppy enough to get caught," Valerie pointed out. "It wasn't my fault; I ran out of road while driving a stolen Porsche," Rio told us. "You stole a Porsche?" Valerie asked. "How do you run out of road in an expensive, high-performance sports car?" Virginia wondered. "Yes, take that, Mercy, you bitch," slap, slap, "I stole a Porsche and I ran out of road when I cruised into another car showroom on the far side of town. Who knew that those dumb sons-of-bitches didn't put a back way out that place?" "Rio, why did you steal something that didn't belong to you in the first place?" Iona begged to know. "Blame drugs, teenage hormones, or the fact that it was a school night, I hadn't studied for a test the next day, and this sounded like the best way of not having to take it," Rio suggested. I would have told them that was Rio-speak for 'I have no idea' except I'd finally stretched Barbie Lynn's hamstrings to the point we had our tongues entwined, mouths pressed, and teeth nibbling on each other's lips like famished lovers. I could feel her anal spasm vibrating up through her body and her lungs fighting for air. She was getting close and I thought it was going to be a big one. "That would be an exhibition of low impulse control," Dana chided Rio. "I think it shows poor life choices," Virginia stated. "I think it shows she's fucking nuts," Valerie declared. "Fine, whatever, but I'm one of the two people fucking a sweet piece of ass while you dykes are sitting on the sidelines," Rio taunted them. "You are my students," Virginia began, "I don't, She was interrupted by Barbie Lynn. "Ugh, Oh, Lord Jesus, Zane," she gasped then, "Ai!" she screamed so loud I was afraid my brain would explode. She kept trying to buck me off and thrash about so violently that I was afraid she'd hurt herself, or me. I rode that wave for almost a minute before Barbie Lynn made one final strenuous effort, then went limp in my arms. I gently shifted her legs down my sides to rest on the bed. I remained propped over her until her eyes focused on me and an ephemeral smile graced her lips. "Umm, sleepy," she purred. "Okay, Babe," I said, then kissed her nose. Her eyes closed and her breathing became low and regular. "Okay,&quo

The Scented Secrets of Time: How to Use the Memory Palace to Master Essential Oil History 101 (w/ Grandpa Bill & Adah)Welcome to the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour! In this week's double-feature, my granddaughter Adah and I tackle Essential Oils History 101—but we aren't just reading dates. We are building a powerful new wing in Adah's Mnemonic Memory Palace to make 6,500 years of aromatic history stick forever.The true power of essential oils isn't found in a recent fad; it's rooted in ancient, global healing systems. We track the evolution of aromatic use through four essential stops:The Pharaoh's Roll (4500 BC, Egypt): Our Memory Palace journey begins at the Front Door where we use the Major System code 45 (R-L / Roll). We picture a Pharaoh rolling a giant stone of Lapis Lazuli. This image encodes the earliest ritual and embalming use of essential oils like Frankincense and Myrrh.The Distiller's Toast (10th/11th Century, Avicenna): Next, in the Kitchen, we honor the man who revolutionized oil purity: Avicenna. Our mnemonic shows him toasting (code 10 / D-S) his hands over a fire and tending to a giant Distiller (code 11 / D-T). This is the birthplace of modern distillation!The Chemist's Tip (1928, Gattefossé): Moving to the Study Desk, we encounter René-Maurice Gattefossé (pronounced Gah-teh-foh-say), who coined "aromatherapy" in 1928. To remember the date, we visualize Gattefossé in a panic, tipping (code 19) a beaker of lavender onto a Navy (code 28) uniform. Accident turned to discovery!The Doctor's Roar (WWII, Dr. Valnet): Our final stop on the Balcony brings us to Dr. Valnet. During the 1940s, he successfully used oils to treat wounded soldiers. Valnet is roaring (code 44 / R-R) at a giant Radio (code 44) to share his findings with the world.Whether you're a college student like Adah or a fellow "Silver Streaker" looking to sharpen your cognitive edge, the Magnetic Memory Method works.

Check out the collection of fidgets Team Shiny loves! Is the 'overdiagnosing' of ADHD, autism, and other neurodevelopmental conditions a 'danger,' and to whom? Isabelle and David continue taking some common myths and misperceptions, questioning who and how we gatekeep 'neurodiversity' (including the idea that maybe there really is no 'neurotypical')--and how one group's fears that these labels harm us cannot negate the fear neurospicy folks have that they will be in trouble, or judged, or stigmatized for being who they are and unmasking. Also using the power of compassion and inviting more conversations, while not jumping to cancelling anyone--because everyone gets to fart in an elevator once or twice. -----Isabelle is coming in hot. She continues to explore her reaction to a podcast episode she listened to recently, Armchair Expert with guest Suzanne O'Sullivan on overdiagnosis, which went from covering seizure disorders to ADHD and autism, especially high-masking autism, real quick.  She is so frustrated that a non-expert on ADHD—someone like O'Sullivan, whose expertise is working with epilepsy and seizure disorders, has now spent so much time talking about ADHD and autism when that is not an area of expertise. David names that he thinks this is an important conversation to have, because we are validating the other perspectives. There is a medical model of disease sets us up to want to oppose or eradicate the ‘disease;' where things like neurodevelopment conditions like ADHD and autism are not something to be ‘cured' or ‘fixed.” David makes the comparison, its like a bunch of people sitting and talking about going to Mexico when no one has ever been there—cultural representation. For example, someone has mild amounts of anxiety throughout the day. They understand this anxiety as having ADHD. They use ADHD interventions to help them and they found a community, and it makes sense and they feel better, it works for them. And then someone comes up with a reason to say that person does not have ADHD, that this definition does not apply—why are we being so careful when it comes to gatekeeping diversity, including neurodiversity?  This wonderful person that David met at a training, named Shay, asked: is there anyone that is neurotypical? We could think of the difference between traits and states. And then he thought about personal examples. He doesn't know if there is someone "neurotypical." Would it to be less shocking that people have different neurological needs or educational differences if we recognized that there may be no 'one' baseline or group to compare everything to? And how quickly we dismiss difference--like knowing that because David listened to books, the argument that what he did was not 'reading'--but we get back to actual question, which is...what was the task, and did it get done?  Often, talking about the fantasy of how ADHD looks or how its supposed to be, it's more about other people. A lot of people with ADHD believe that if its easy for them, they're cheating. Because its supposed to be hard. Do most non-ADHD people think that way?  The debates are now that anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD—these are neurological differences—they are also looking at causal factors to all these conditions that are not chosen. So is the only person who is ‘normal' the person who has no feelings, reactions, or responses?  Someone who has no big responses to stimuli, someone who is antisocial? Isabelle does fall into the categorizing and black and white thinking, and how its a part of learning, to categorize and generalize. This is not dissimilar to how people talk about race, gender, and about culturally defined parts of experiences because we collectively make them a thing—maybe its myth making and collective storytelling. There is a gravitational pull to the idea of being neurotypical or mentally ‘well' and then there's good and bad. Isabelle wonders where the compassion goes? David speaks up—they have compassion. People are scared. People are scared and when we're scared, we have a reflexive reactions. People have found safety or comfort in the label of ‘normal' or ‘neurotypical,' and they see difference as not good, and they're really trying to, in their mind, help people in their messaging. Terror management theory: when you're scared, you find a group of people who are like you and you band together to be less scared. So, there are a chunk of people out there who are getting very specific about who is in or out of the group.  David can have a lot of compassion for that fear, that fear about who gets to belong. But he also wants to speak to the neurodivergent person who is doing something you tell them will help—and it hurts them? It's a real fear we carry. David uses the example of his mom—bless her heart (see the Southern US use of this phrase on many levels below)—who grew up being told the importance of having arch support in shoes, and so when David had flat feet, she had him use these inserts—David is not blaming his mom, she did the best she could—lots of people are told not to touch things, don't go into the light. Every neurodivergent person has to have the fear “I'm doing this wrong, I'm in trouble, I'm doing something bad!” To little David: you know, you have flat feet, you have more stability around corners—but another voice would say “don't tell anyone you have flat feet, it's bad.” He has compassion for the fear people have that want everyone to be the same, to not stand out or be different, and there is also a fear that neurodivergent people sit with every day about whether or not they're allowed to act the way they act. Isabelle names that the podcasters were saying “oh, these diagnoses are an excuse to then act in ways that are socially awkward.” Ahem. Isabelle describes how this feels like when she describes her inner workings to someone in all the steps she takes when she sits down next to someone, wondering if this is the right physical distance, is she staring at their eyebrows too long, is she pausing appropriately, etc.—and when she unmasks and reveals this, the person considers it a compliment to say “I couldn't tell.” It's the idea that someone outside of you knows more about your experience than you do. The way that diagnoses connect to power and gatekeeping for services and Isabelle makes the point that those who are saying “over diagnosis is dangerous”—to whom? On what planet are folks who are neurospicy getting enough of the supports and services and resources and access that they need? The system is already failing most of us. David names: this isn't cancer, this isn't people getting chemo erroneously. There is no danger in identification, it's about getting our needs met. What do we do as a society to neglected people, and the more you know about your needs, the less of a danger being neglected becomes. This is a question of someone who knows a lot about things wandered over into another area and made bold statements without the expertise. Isabelle was extra miffed that she also dismissed the intersections of Autism, ADHD, POTS, hyper mobile Ehlers Danlos, and MCAS and ‘nonexistent' —so damaging and harmful. These are real things, the interconnectedness of them is being actively researched, just because you are new to the party does not make something false or untrue. As David puts it, in the 70's or 80's, the APA took a vote to decide if being gay was good or bad, essentially (“do we keep gayness as a disorder?” Yes folks, this was that recently. GAH.). Now imagine someone was asleep for ten years and missed that memo and is now walking around looking at pride flags wondering “why are there so man...

What happens when your due date collides with a snowstorm in Georgia?When I first connected with Abby, I knew her birth story was going to be special, but GAH!!

Jess and Jaimi share the pivotal, emotional, terrifying and amazing travel experiences that have shaped who they are, and what they believe about life, culture, and the world. In this episode, we cover huge shifts in mindset, values, and belief systems caused by weird experiences whilst travelling the world together. Some of this episode gets pretty creepy so you may want a cushion to hide behind - especially as it drops on Friday the 13th… which is… as weird as the stories we are about to tell. Gah!

Our guest cancelled! Gah. Well, here's an episode we airlifted out of our collective asses. Hopefully it's not too bad with two days' notice to plan it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Oh no! The monkeys are here! Gah! They're taking our food!猴子來襲!牠們來搶我們的食物了!Click HERE for the full transcript!

Been crafting your reality lately? Well we have. That's why demons are in charge of the world, the economy is in the toilet, and tornadoes are whizzing past our houses. We're not that good at it! Someone else should be crafting our reality…but without the right app, there's no hope. Plus, even if we did have the perfect reality creating app, we would probably be too busy waiting for our stupid tattoo artist to get done stenciling the piece of art that will be a permanent fixture on our skin (why do they take like 35 mins???) or worse, spending time with our children. Gah! And what fucking temperature is it outside! Why won't my mug tell me!!! I need help. And a Lot of it. Right now. Luckily there's a new episode of YKS! But Doctor…you know. That whole thing.

Isabelle and David continue to explore how an official ADHD or autism or AuDHD diagnosis might be a useful bridge to belong to a community. But what about the people who see these labels as pathologizing, including famous ADHD researchers like Dr. Russell Barkely? David and Isabelle explore some of the ways that thinking of ADHD from the negatives only and leaves people using the label not as a tool for empowerment, self-understanding, and advocacy--but as an excuse. Furthermore, what about labels like "Asperger's" (low-support need/high-masking autism) that has its roots in Nazi extermination camps? Neuropsychs Explored Part III.---The pro to identifying as having ADHD that David now understands, that he didn't understand years ago, was that it allows you to fit into a culture and a group differently. He walked into a room in his 30's (at an Eye-to-Eye conference) and found himself fitting in. David needed the label to understand himself. He brings up Dr. Russell Barkley and his research—Isabelle jumps in with a factoid about Barkley's twin who had ADHD and addiction issues and died in a car accident…which helps give her context for why Barkley is so big on ADHD being a risk factor while driving. David wants to make it clear—it is a tragic story, and he's not about casting anyone as evil or bad—but Barkeley's work does do a number on people's self esteem. They look at his research and think they can't change and they start to use ADHD as an excuse, not an explanation. It's important to have compassion for people, he does talk a lot about addiction and car crashes, and we all have sad parts of our past, and its what we do now that matters. When he's talking to a room for non-ADHDers, they tend to think that people with ADHD are less, rather than more. He likes folk music and David likes rap, and David is not going to pretend to like folk music. Isabelle names that she tries to make sense of something so dehumanizing, like the six hour training she sat through of his that left her in tears, gaining some context for his story gave her a chance to reduce how slimed she felt. Knowing why does decrease suffering. Isabelle has seen a lot of hostility and backlash about AuDHD. Autism is a spectrum—yes, there are non speakers and folks with high support needs. But maybe it was what back in the day was called Asperger's, a now unused term. David names that Dr. Asperger was a Nazi (sympathizer?) Who created a line around autism (essentially how high-masking someone was) that determined who lived and died. For more on this deep history of Asperger — check out the links below. Isabelle and David agree to have a way longer conversation on the history of neurodivergence. Isabelle talks more about her neuropsych assessment, including sample questions, and fill in the blank type sentences to write. And she was given a questionnaire to give to someone who knows her well—for kids, this might be both to caregivers and teachers, so they can get data about how the kid is functioning in multiple environments. Isabelle then waits, gets a twenty-some page document, and they sit down and cover it all. Isabelle has in the months between first hearing the neuropsychologist state that she meets criteria for autism, confirming her suspicions, she went on a deep dive on all these pieces of information. Isabelle felt the fear of having this diagnosis taken away from her felt so deeply. It was so hard, even just listening to the summary, she wanted to skip to the end (another autistic trait, she is learning, wanting to know the context so she can track what's being described or knowing where it's going), and she yes, she has autism, and she burst into tears. Isabelle finally has an answer to the riddle, which a chunk of it related to ADHD, but this is another part of the mystery, like she has been looking in funhouse mirrors her whole life, and now she has an accurate reflection of who she is, like a real, non-distorted mirror. She also has “severe” ADHD. David and Isabelle dig in with how negative this criteria is (which, side note, connects to Barkley's research). Are we weather systems? Are we severely awesome? Maybe we change it to extremely? Gah. Asperger's and the history of neurodivergence Articles and books on Dr. Russell Barkley Known as a big researcher of ADHD, does really good research, and pushes forward a lot of diagnostic criteria and is in a position of power changing the game for a lot of humans. The caveat that Isabelle and David often make is that: he takes a really doom and gloom, pathologizing perspective (which are scary research-based bits of information).  Asperger's Autism: you have 40% chance of ADHD, and then DEFINITIONSNote: “Neuropsych” is shorthand for BOTH a neuropsychological assessment or a neuropsychologist (which is confusing).Neuropsychologist is "an expert in how brain injuries and conditions affect your behavior, mood and thinking skills. They perform neuropsychological evaluations to assess how your brain and mind are working and suggest treatment plans." (Source: Cleveland Clinic).A neuropsychological assessment is a series of interviews and tests (computer, written, drawing, solving puzzles, etc. no magnets, radiation, electrodes, or medical procedures involved) — the type of test is based on what is being explored. This battery (or collection) of tests, often done across multiple sessions, help a neuropsychologist determine a psychological diagnosis, treatment plan, and get a sense of how your brain works. Typically recommended by school systems/medical system to assess kids to help figure out what learning differences and accommodations may be helpful, but these assessments are not just for kids! Adults can use them to gain self-understanding, establish a baseline (if dementia or high-risk contact sports play is involved), or even figure out what parts of your brain have been injured or might be affected by brain surgery. Because kids grow and development so much, they are often redone every 2-4 years. Here's more on neuropsychological assessments from the Cleveland Clinic.Stimming (aka "Self-Stimulatory Behavior) -originally attributed to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but also occurs in neurodivergent AND neurotypical or allistic (non-autistic) folks. It means repetitive physical movements, sounds, or actions that someone engages in (aka leg bouncing, finger tapping, hand flapping, twirling hair, humming, repeating words, staring, pacing, doodling, playing with fidgets, chewing gum, smelling or touching things..so many stims!).Useful for: so many things! For when your senses are overloaded or your understimulated, can help you focus and concentrate, can be a way to learn about or interact with your environment, or to cope with anxiety, stress, excitement, or big feels.Masking: when neurodivergent individuals pretend to be neurotypical, hide or minimize their stims, and even pretend they have the same reasons for doing things (like Isabelle saying "yes, I'm antsy" when she's pacing, when really she feels good and grounded when she paces or goes from room to room).

Happy Satiated Saturday! Somatic practices have become a buzzword as the new supplement you can take to “calm” yourself down, to shake off a trauma response, and maybe not binge eat. They can feel alluring. When you're struggling with food, you just want an answer. There can be panic and desperation at willing to try anything to make sure you won't binge again. You may find yourself trying to shake, or tap, or dunk your face in ice-cold water. This may feel calming for a few minutes and then you watch yourself walk into the kitchen and grab food.Gah! So frustrating!In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: The purpose of somatic practicesQuestions to ask yourself to choosing a somatic practiceThe difference between fixing and friending Bodily feedback to look out for when a somatic practice resonatesYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/why-arent-my-somatic-practices-working-to-stop-binge-eatingIf you're ever looking for more 1:1 support with integrating somatics into your everyday life to decrease food coping mechanisms, you can book a free 20 minute Connect Call with me ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/lets-chatWith Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

We recorded this months ago, in the fall! We are sorry! He's Brendan, a DOJ attorney ferreting out white supremacists! She's Caroline, a counselor whose mom calls all the time! Will they ever buy curtains to spare the neighbors' tender eyes? Find out in Heat Wave by Barbara Delinsky, another of our “five heart romances”! If you're new to this, we're doing episodes on the list of books that Romantic Times reviewer Melinda Helfer awarded five hearts to (there are sixteen, out of ten thousand!) So far, Melinda did not miss. No real content warnings in this one except that I do not think sex scenes should ever, under any circumstances, include the word "womb". Gah.

I've never talked about this before. MONEY. Gah. The subject can be so taboo. But here's the thing. Finances are SO very entwined into our values as homesteaders that I wanted to talk about it. Whether you are trying to quit your 9-5 to stay home... Buy the acreage you've always dreamed of... Get out of debt so you can finally buy that truck load of soil that your garden so desperately needs... Aligning our finances with our homestead goals can push them forward in the BIGGEST way. If you're a mom, you can be constantly pushed in all directions when it comes to money mindset (#momguilt, amiright?). In today's episode, I got to chat with ​Krista​ of the Money Mindful Moms podcast about starting to get your finances together in a way that actually fits into your life, whatever that looks like for YOU. I hope you learned something new and feel inspired to start your debt free journey, save more, and worry less.

Jessica: State of the Artby  musicankane - listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.Art room 4 0 5 was on the top floor of the Drama and Art building. The top floor itself was reserved for small practice studios that students could rent for various art needs. The department didn't expect people to paint, or chalk draw in their dorms which would only yield a mess that could ruin the room for the next batch of students. So these rooms were provided with materials included in order to prevent that. You did have to book rooms in advanced though, so sometimes practice space was hard to come by, the music rooms had the same issue.However it was a Friday afternoon and most students were getting ready for parties that evening or whatever exciting Friday night they might be prepping for. Jake walked the row of rooms trying to find the one he was looking for. He figured 4 0 5 would be the 5th in the row but apparently that wasn't the case as the rooms didn't start with 400 and instead began with a random 3 8 9.4 0 5 was actually not in the main hallway on the floor, instead down a small T-shaped split in the hall. The rooms down this side path were small, little more than closets really. But he found 4 0 5 at the end and tried to open the door. As the girl from the library said, it was locked so he knocked instead.She opened the door immediately, and smiled at with a huge relieved look on her face. "Oh good thank you so much for coming." She said thankfully.Jake shrugged and smiled, "Well I'm a paid man now, so I always show up to a job on time."She grinned, "Well I'll be sure to leave you a good review on Yelp then." She stepped aside, "Here come on in, it's a little cramped because the drawing rooms aren't the biggest demand around here."It was small, there was enough room for her little stool which sat in front of her easel and large drawing pad. Behind that there was probably enough space for two people to stand very close to each other and nothing else. He slipped past her setup and stood against the wall, waiting for further instructions."So uh, you just want me to stand here?" He asked.She shut the door and clicked the lock, then looked around her pad at him. She pointed to the rightmost corner of the room. "Maybe over there so it'll be easier for me to see around the pad?" She suggested.Jake shifted over and took a breath. "Here?"She leaned over, then back to her pad, the leaned again. "Yeah I think that'll be about as perfect as possible." She turned to the wall behind her and clicked a switch that turned on a bright overhead light that illuminated Jake very well. When she turned back she took a deep breath and said, "Okay so if you want to just drop your pants we can begin. And before anything I just gotta thank you again, this is very sweet of you, seriously."Jake smiled and waved a hand, "Don't mind me if I'm nervous too."She giggled, "Well at least we can both be nervous together." She glanced at him. "Actually you should take off your shoes, leave your socks, but take off your shoes otherwise your feet might go numb."Jake slipped his shoes off and slid them to the side. The tile floor was cold, but not miserably so, maybe the light overhead was warming it up a little bit. Then he took a deep breath and unzipped his jeans, deciding to hook everything together at once and just get it over with, he yanked both his jeans and his boxers down in one swoop. He kicked his pants off his legs and shoved them off to the side. Then rose up to stand there with no damn bottoms on and all of him just hanging free.The artist leaned over to look and her eyes went wide, "Whoa! What the fuck?" She exclaimed. "Wow!" She glanced at him and saw him turning red, "Oh that's terribly unprofessional, I'm so sorry!" She said jerking herself back behind her pad.Jake sighed and shrugged, "You aren't the first to do that so...it's fine."She drew in complete silence for a while, Jake watched her work as she would draw for a bit, glance at him, then draw some more. She still looked rather flush in the face but it was hard to tell because her sweet caramel skin hid her embarrassment. Though once or twice he saw her licking her lips as she drew, though he didn't know if that was because of what she was looking at, or if it was just something she did idly while drawing.After about fifteen minutes she looked at him and took a breath. "Okay I think I got that one. Umm, now would it be possible if you uh.." She raised a fist and made a jacking off motion. "got hard?" She tucked her lips into her mouth in nervousness.Jake frowned and looked down at himself. Standing there still and just letting her do her thing had been easy enough. A little embarrassing but easy enough and she was very pretty so it wasn't like she would run around and brag or whatever. But standing there getting hard for her, when it wasn't supposed to be a sexual situation, that might be a whole other level entirely.He sighed and grabbed himself carefully, "I uh, okay I'll try, but I'm a bit nervous about that."She nodded, "I understand, just try and we'll go from there." She said and swallowed deeply.Jake began to stroke himself under the bright light. It felt so odd though, his feet on the cold tile, stroking himself like he was putting on a show. Though it wasn't quite that, he wasn't performing anything really, but he was still trying to arouse himself in front of a girl whose name he didn't even know. He looked up at the ceiling and tried to think of something else, or better yet, he tried to think of Rachel. He'd had sex with Rachel and she was someone he knew at some level that could make it easy. He tried to remember how she felt, the words she'd told him, the way she'd begged from him to cum inside of her. He really liked when girls did that. Galina had teased him about knocking her up, which also had been exciting on a level he didn't realize possible.After about five or so minutes of trying to coax his cock to full mast, the best he managed was a light chub. His dick was swollen a bit, and it raised up slightly, but it was nowhere near anything that could be considered hard or ready to rock.He let himself go and his shaft drooped, "I'm sorry I don't think I can."She frowned and stood up to look at him. She bit her lip and came around her easel to step before him, "Okay umm...What if I...like..." She pouted a little, "helped?" Her voice was quiet but the offer was clear as day.Jake took a deep breath and tilted his head, "I mean, I'm sure that would work. You ARE stunningly beautiful. But I don't think that's right or fair though." He protested.She shook her head, "No it'd be...you know it'd be okay. I really need this practice." She stuttered, "The drawing! Not the..." she made the jerking off motion with her hand again.She stepped up to him close, in this small room he could feel the heat of her body as she moved close enough to flood his senses with her perfume. Jake nodded gently, "Well alright, but only if you want too." He told her.She pressed herself against the side of him, he felt her tight body under the dress, her small but firm and perky breasts mashing into his upper arm. She laid her head on his shoulder and nodded. Gently her fingers took hold of him, grasping him gently. She let out a soft sigh against him as his breath caught in his throat. Her fingers wiggled and flex around him, trying to adjust her hand for the best grip. Once she was comfortable, her hand began to pump on him, sliding up and down his length slowly, smoothly, amazingly."So big." she whispered, her voice faltering. "Have you ever fit this inside anyone?" She asked softly.Jake gasped, her words teasing him and shooting rippling tingles through him. He nodded, "Yes.""Lucky girls." She replied gently, stroking him slightly faster. Her touch was working he could feel himself hardening, rising, lengthening in her hand. The harder he became the faster her strokes became. She moaned against his shoulder, pushing herself tighter into him. Jake was like a steel beam now, her hand becoming a fist that couldn't fit around him, but pumping him just as fiercely.Then she stopped and let out a moaning whimper. "I have to..." she panted, "I have to draw you." She pulled away from him gently and stepped back around him. Her gaze looked longingly at his erection, throbbing and pulsing with eagerness and need. Jake took a deep breath and tried to maintain his arousal.She sat back at her drawing pad and began making quick lines. She moved like she was trying to make the most of him while she had the time. "Could you turn slightly to the side so I can get a better angle?" She asked tenderly.Jake turned giving her a profile view of himself. His heart pounded in his chest, finding the situation much more of a turn on that he expected. Now that she'd touched him it sort of broke him out of the nervousness and the awkwardness of what he was doing. Unfortunately with him just hanging in the cool air with no touch, his erection wouldn't last forever. With each minute passing by he felt his heart settle down which in turn began to soft him. He gripped himself at the base and squeezed tightly, which bought some time.She stood and came around the easel again. "I think I got it. If I could just get one more drawing, I can then use them as references for more in my own time." She came up to him and gently turned him back to facing her directly. Her fingers wrapped around him again and began to stroke. "I think I can make it worth your while. Let me try something else okay?"Jake opened his mouth to ask what she wanted to try, but she dropped to her knees and he knew the answer already. She winked up at him and stuck out her tongue. Her hand continued to jack him slowly and she aimed his tip at her hanging tongue. Moving closer she pressed his tip to her tongue, letting her spit coat over his tip while her hand stroked him smoothly and quickly. His spongy tongue pressed to her tongue firmed up again quickly as her suckling on his fat tip and her grip stroked faster.A salty dollop of pre-cum oozed onto her tongue which she licked up eagerly, letting out a moan as her body responded to his excitement. Her panties were fucking soaked and she'd never thought she'd be sucking a guy she didn't even know's dick, but here she was. What was crazier was that her body hummed for more. She wanted to take more of him into her mouth, to really suck this amazing cock and taste more of him. But she held herself back, forcing herself to push away. She moaned and closed her mouth only to have a ton of spit flop onto the chin.She looked up at him and smiled softly, "Sorry got a little carried away. But I think I can get my last drawing."Jake felt wobbly in the knees, what in the world was happening to him? He was getting girls just randomly coming to him now, not that he was going to complain. It was like a surreal life change, and one he was really starting to enjoy. He chuckled and nodded, "Okay."He looked down and watched his cock twitch for a moment, his tip shimmering with her drool a thought that was completely thrilling for him. He turned back to the side and let her get to work quickly. He tried to focus on what her tongue felt like and hot how she'd looked on her knees, all the while he could all hear he pencil running along the page as she drew him.Five or ten minutes later, Jake couldn't really tell he felt himself no longer able to keep up the excitement. Almost at the same time the girl stood from her easel and came around, "I think I got it, thank you. You were the perfect subject." She told him with a smile. "I'll be able to use what you gave me to continue to practice and I should be good for my exam.""Well I'm glad that it was money well spent." He told her with a smile, his cock still out and mostly hard in front of him.She glanced down and smiled weakly at his still shinny dick. "So I was thinking, you are free to leave if you want." She offered backing up a little until her back was pressing against the wall which was only like two feet. She spread her legs into a wide stance, and she glared at him with a sexual heat. Her lips curled into a sly smirk as she lifted her dress and showed him that she'd yanked her panties violently to one side leaving her bare puffy lips exposed. "Or you can put your cock inside me." She offered.Jake swallowed and felt himself twitch again, hardening at the sight of her. He opened his mouth, but instead just stepped up to her. He bent his knees enough so he could point his cock directly up into her. She grabbed him by the shoulders as he lifted himself up and felt himself slide up into her tight, wet little tunnel."OH!" She gasped loudly, biting down on her lip to cut the sound off quickly. He filled her so much as he lifted himself to his feet. Pushing her against the wall hard allowed him to lift her a little as he pushed himself as deep into her as he could. Her fingers curled into his shoulders, holding onto him tightly. She whimpered again, his cock was so deep inside of her, so thick she felt like she would burst.Jake bucked his hips, pulling back and shoving himself back inside of her bringing another moan out of her. "Oh god." She whimpered, "Baby you're so big." She could feel him surge inside of her with each thrust, his rhythm building as he nailed her into the wall. His cock surging and fucking in and out of her made her come to a panicked realization.She tapped him rapidly on the shoulders, "Hey, wait a second." She pleaded.Jake froze mid-thrust, blinking at her. "You okay? I'm not going to fast am I?" He asked concerned.She shook her head, "Oh god, no. It feels so great but I forgot to tell you. Don't cum inside me okay?" She asked."Alright. But should we stop, I might leak into you and I don't..." He started to slide himself out of her body, her walls clamping onto him in protest."No!" She cried, throwing her around him and holding him against her. "No it's okay. I'm safe, it's safe. I just...don't want to totally go crazy. Just fuck me until I cum, then I'll swallow every drop you got ok?" She begged, "Please don't pull out. Keep going!" She urged.Jake nodded and pushed back into her, resuming his rhythm. She was so wet he slide in and out easily, her walls tight enough to stroke him wonderfully. Her tunnel would close around his tip so each time he thrust forward it felt like he was penetrating her for the first time all over again. It was incredible.As he bucked into her, she frantically wrapped her arms around him holding him close. Her face was buried against his shoulder as she moaned into his shirt to keep her volume down. Each thrust was like magic through her body, his cock sent pleasures ripping into her guts she had never experienced before. Her belly grew tight as her body built towards a long overdue release.Jake grunted and pushed deeply up into her, which brought a yelp from her she couldn't contain. The thrust lifted her off her feet so she wrapped her legs around him and let the wall support them both as he pumping into her. His breathing got faster and harder as his thrusts became more deliberate and needy. It was such a thrill to fuck this girl he didn't know, pounding her against the wall. His balls were so tight from the long standing erection and they demanded release.She was close too, her body was thrumming with it like a long fuse rapidly approaching the dynamite. She knew it was going to be an insane orgasm, shattering even, and she couldn't wait.Jake felt his balls tighten, and that tingle rip through his shaft. He slammed his palms against the wall giving her a few more thrusts. He'd creamed a lot of girls lately and he forced himself to remember she asked him not to ejaculate inside of her. He tried to push away from her, but her arms and her legs where both wrapped up around him. He shoved away from the wall but she went with him, moaning as his back slammed against the other wall.She squealed and took control immediately. Using the reverse leverage off Jake now against the wall she flexed her legs and squeezed herself up and down on him. Jake grunted and grabbed her shoulder, "Hey wait, you gotta get off!" He urged frantically.She just moaned, "I'm trying, I'm close! Oh fuck hold on baby!"Jake let out a panicked grunt, "Gah! I can't get off!" He tried to push her off of him but she had leverage and four limbs wrapped around him. His cock jerked and it was too late. Her eyes went wide and she froze as his first spurt inside of her sent her exploding around him. Her body tensed, every muscle seized and all she could see was white. His cock jerked powerfully with each creamy rope that spat deep into her unprotected tunnel. It was the hottest thing she'd ever felt in her life. Some random guy, cumming inside of her raw and deep.She clung to him squeeze him tighter into her. She knew it was wrong, she knew she should be scared, but she also cared about none of that. All she wanted was to finished being bred by this guy and his incredible cock. He came and came, warmth filling her as each spurt of his seed inside of her drenched her cervix showering her womb with all his little baby makers. "Ah!" She screeched.Jake roared in pleasure and anguish, his knees buckled from under him and he slipped to the floor with her in his lap. His cock remained buried deep until every drop was inside of her. "Oh god!" He moaned both in pleasure and worry.She sighed and slumped on top of him, panting heavily and letting the final washes of pleasure seep from her. After a few minutes, his cock slipped out of her and she could feel his cum glop out of her well fucked pussy onto the floor. "Whew." She breathed, sitting up in his lap. "Well that didn't go as planned now did it?"Jake looked at her in sorrowful fear, "I am so fucking sorry I tried to pull out I swear!" He pleaded with her.She nodded and smiled comfortingly, "I know, I felt you try. I was just so close and so lost in the moment." She looked down between them and saw the puddle of white seed dripping onto the tile. "Whelp I guess I'll be a single mom."Jake blinked at her, "Uh."She giggled and slapped him on the cheek gently, then climbed off of him and pulled her dress down. "Don't worry about it too much, I am pretty sure I was safe. I'll go to the pharmacy right now and get a plan B just in case. We'll be fine." She assured him.Jake got to his feet and grabbed his pants. "Oh okay. You're sure?""Yeah no worries. Honestly the only real reason I didn't want you cumming inside me was because I don't even know you're name." She giggled. "I thought it would be weird to go talk to my room mates about this incredible encounter and be like, 'yeah I let some random guy raw dog and blow his load inside me'." She explained.Jake pulled up his pants and tucked himself away carefully, "I can see you're point.""It's Jessica by the way." She said.He looked at her. "What?""My name." She replied, "It's Jessica."Jake slapped himself on the forehead, "I am sorry I'm fucking stupid right now. Jessica! Hi it's so nice to meet you." He reached out to shake her hand. "I'm Jake."She giggled and took his hand, "Hi Jake it's nice to meet you too. Thanks for letting me draw your cock. And uh, thanks for the deposit." She giggled."Deposit?" He moaned as it clicked. "Oh, the cum. Right. My head is still spinning holy shit."She laughed again, "I guess since I paid you to be here, you were like my little, well big, prostitute. That's funny."

Galina: Post Alexis, Jake needs a booty call.by  musicankane – Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.Three days after the "test" Alexis was fully welcomed with a GGK I D card, and full membership. The confusion and excitement around her passing the test and with the girls hauling Jake out of the building so quickly, she had kind of got swept away by it. It wasn't until everything had died down that Alexis realized she hadn't even reached out to Jake, if just to find out if he was okay. And that hurt her deep, she was going to let him have her first creampie, the first time giving herself completely to anyone in that way. And so quickly she'd fucking forgot him.If her stomach was filled with a pain of knots at the thought of it, Jake must be furious with her. He'd been pretty angry that night when he'd felt like a used toy and made her watch him give it to Niece. She hadn't wanted that, hadn't wanted him to feel like that. And now how else would he feel? Yanked away during what she thought would be a very intimate moment, though not as personal as she would have wanted, and then she ghosts him for days?She wanted to call him, to see him, text, anything. But how could she justify anything to him? What possible excuse could she have that would make him feel any better about this. Jake might have gotten a wild few days of getting laid, in the end it had all been a game and he was tossed away the moment they were done...the moment SHE was done with him.Alexis thought she would be happy to be in GGK and part of the biggest "in crowd" on campus, assuring her status would continue through college. Yet as her fingers trembled over the text message screen on her phone, tears ran down her cheeks. She wasn't happy, she was ashamed.Jake was upset for a while, very upset really. Not so much at Alexis or anyone at GGK really, instead he was upset with himself. He let some titties play him for a fucking joke again. While it was hard to argue that any of what he'd been through over the course of a few days was awful, it wasn't, he still had been used and his emotions used against him. He'd hoped that maybe when everything had settled he would be able to have a real relationship with Alexis, once she'd gotten what she wanted and all the tests and teases and fucking games were done.Instead nothing. She got what she wanted and it was over. Jake was back to being the loser he'd always been. Three days and none of the GGK girls had even reached out to him to take their "turn", not that he really wanted that seriously. Still the fact that it hadn't happened was a bummer. He'd thought that at least he might still get regular booty calls or something, especially the way the girls had all climbed over each other to have a ride.But life had quickly gone from 0 to 100 and back to 0 in a very quick amount of time. So he did the only thing he could think of doing, getting back to normal. Which meant school work, Dungeons and Dragons prep, and video games. It was comforting, and even a bit relaxing to feel a sense of normal return.Problems didn't arise until Friday, when he woke up with a legit itch to rub one out. it was the first time since his GGK adventures that he'd felt that horny itch building back inside of him again. So before class Jake simply sat at his computer and brought up the Hub to get to work. Video after video he went through, probably numbering in the dozens, and nothing got his blood going. Not even his favorite adult stars worked, he just couldn't get the engine started, despite a desire to get going.With a sigh he shut it down and decided to just go to class.During class his phone buzzed, glancing down at it he saw a text message from Alexis, he felt a pit in his stomach just seeing her name. He wasn't sure he even wanted to see the message, or acknowledge that he got it. He put the phone back in his pocket and tried to focus on the class.Not that he could focus after Alexis popped back into his mind. What could she want? The likely answer was to apologize, the less likely answer was a booty call, and Jake didn't know which one would be worse. Even if she apologized what would that even mean? "Sorry I used you and toyed with you to get into a club you'll never be a part of? Sorry I got what I wanted out of you now I don't need to ever see you again?" None of those were things he wanted to hear. He wasn't even sure if he wanted a genuine apology, because then he would have to forgive her and what was the point of that? Either way they would be living to separate lives so it didn't really matter if they were on good terms or not anyway.Or, it could be a booty call, and that would probably be harder to say no to. Especially after the failure to launch this morning. Could a relationship with Alexis that was just for fucking be worth it? Sex friends and nothing more? Jake wasn't sure because he didn't really have enough experience to judge, though he did figure it would be hard to keep from having feelings for her, especially since he'd already sort of had those feelings. Staying in her life purely for sex sounded good in principal but didn't make sense in to him on any real level."Fuck." He muttered and pulled his phone out opening the screen to see the message.D & D tonight? Friday? it read.Jake didn't want to be angry but reading that made him fucking angry. She was going to not only ghost him, but also only talk to him to still be a part of the lie she invented to manipulate him. Was she fucking serious? Fun or not, he could not let her be a part of his game, a part of his world, and just pretend nothing had happened between them.No. He replied and hit send. As soon as he sent those two little letters he felt instant regret. It sounded cold and harsh and as mad as he might be he didn't want that to be what came across. So he sent additional information, Nobody knows how classes affect their schedules yet, so we don't have a day for the game decided. It might be Friday's or it might end up being a weekend or something. Don't know yet.He sat back in his seat and let out a deep breath, that made him feel a bit better because at least it gave her a reasonable answer that would excuse the rejection. Though if she was asking about the game now, wouldn't she just ask him about the game later? One way or another he was going to have to decide if he could handle her being around or not.As if on queue his phone buzzed again with her reply, Keep me posted?Jake bit his lower bit and pondered a bit. 'Kay.Well now what?Another week when by with no interaction from Alexis or any GGK member, and Jake has settled back into his normal grove of things. For the most part life had returned to nearly normal for him. Which the exception being his ability to watch and relieve himself via some good old fashion porn. He'd tried, several times and had absolutely no luck it just wasn't satisfying or exciting anymore. He'd come to the realization that he needed to unlearn what a women felt like.He was lying in bed one evening scrolling around on his phone, kind of feeling stupid for not taking pictures of the beauties he'd gotten with, not even Alexis. Instead he had pictures of amazing rolls on the dice during D&D games, fantasy pictures, character sheets, a bunch of bullshit really. He flicked to the final picture on his and jerked upright. He had completely forgotten that she had done this in the short moments she was talking to him.Galina's selfie, complete with her information stored in his phone. He stared at her sweet beautiful face for a while, feeling his balls start to tingle like a sex-crazed Spidersense, and pondered giving something a try. She'd told him to hit her up anytime he wanted a...well a booty call basically.He flopped back onto the bed and huffed, but why would he hit up Galina when he could probably hit up Alexis and she'd be just as down, hell maybe even more down. But Galina hadn't used him as a fucking prop for anything, she'd had no other motivation for talking to him other than to fuck real quick ‘down to fuck' and be done with him maybe.Jake tapped her number and selected text. He didn't want to call her and risk someone other than her answering. But he didn't know what to say or how to approach her. He thought of just texting "DTF?" and seeing what happened, but that was way too bold. Instead he settled on a simple Hi.To his surprise it was less than a minute before a reply came through, Hey, What you up too? Followed by a smiley emoji.Jake didn't know exactly how to answer that, because he wasn't really up to anything. Except being frustrated in a way he never knew possible. Not a thing, you at a GGK party or anything?Nope just homework. You alone?Jake thought for a second then smiled,I don't think anyone is hiding under my bed at the moment.Lol. So are you just jacking yourself crazy?If only, he thought. I wish I could, but uh...well let's just say that porn don't hit the same after that week.Aw, you poor baby. You must be so backed up you're leaking out of your ears. Do you need some help?He smiled, so the offer looked like it was still on the table. That was good, it meant he might still have some options. Do you want to come by and...give me a hand? Or mouth? Or something else?He held his breath as he waited for an answer. He stared at his phone for a long time waiting for an answer, to the point where he was afraid that she blocked him or wasn't going to reply. Dread welled up in him, the longer he waited the righter his grip on the phone became.Finally it dinged, Let me shower real quick, be at your place in 45-60.Jake jerked himself out of bed and threw his fist up in celebration. Still on! He couldn't believe it, there were options on the table for him despite the two weeks of silence. He felt relieved, he didn't have to go back to being a sexless loser, he'd still be a loser but not sexless so that would be good enough.If Galina was going to shower then he should wash up quick just to be safe. He was in and out of his shower quickly though but on purpose to make sure that he would be clean, and fresh enough for her, but also not too fresh to look like he was trying too hard or being too desperate. He had to play this cool, just a booty call no big deal. What did the cool guys say, 'get your dick wet'?He put on a t-shirt and sweat pants, easy casual wear to get out of quickly but also look like he was just chillin and it didn't matter if she came or not. Though he was worried about looking desperate, the very fact that he hit her up in the first place probably told her enough anyway. Besides she was GGK which meant she probably kept up with Alexis at some point, and there was no way gossip wasn't going around.It was on the later end of an hour and a half before the knock came to the door. Jake got up and tried to casually walk to open it, he didn't want to seem too eager or whatever. He opened the door casually and his eyes went wide. Galina stood there wearing a very small tank top that was little more than a glorified sports bra, leaving her belly exposed and the low cut made sure he could see the whole way through her perky cleavage. Her hair was still a bit damp, pulled over onto one side and down her shoulder. She'd put on make up to just highlight her facial features and brighten her lips. Her bottoms were baggy sweats like his, probably for the same reason as him.She looked absolutely incredible. "Wow." He said softly.Galina smirked and twirled a finger through her hair. "Glad you like, gonna let me in or you want to stare a little more?" She asked teasingly running a hand over her bare midriff.Jake jerked like she's shocked him and he nodded, "Shit sorry." He let her in and shut the door behind her. Galina looked around casually, stepping around the living space to observe his surroundings without the pressure of time. Jake watched her, his body tight like a coiled spring eager to pounce her way at the first chance. His eyes followed her until she got to his bed and turned to sit down.Without saying a word she kicked off her shoes, and looked up at him with a knowing smile across her lips. "So? What would you like to do."Jake stepped towards her, approaching until he loomed over her, "I think you know." He rasped with a dry voice.She gazed up at him her lips parted slightly. "Is it something like..." she reached up and curled her fingers into his waistband, "this?" In a smooth motion she tugged his pants down enough to expose his meat to her. Without breaking eye contact she leaned forward and sucked his hanging tip into her mouth.His body jerked in a breath and held it. The warm wetness of a mouth upon him again brought back a lovely wave of familiar sensations. Galina sucked on him softly, teasing her tongue around just his tip, caressing the smoothest part of him. Starved for attention as he was, his shaft hardened and rose before her rapidly. He felt her moan into his head, sending a vibration through him.With a big suck she popped him out of her mouth, a hand coming up to start to stroke him gently. "I love feeling a guy harden in my mouth, it's so fucking hot.""You're fucking hot." He told her.She giggled, "It's gonna get hotter too, just you wait." She turned her focus to his full mast monster, "My god you are huge. I know you hear that from everyone, but there is something wild about seeing it in the flesh, up close." She ran her hand up and down on him, stroking him smoothly but softly. Her other hand came up to cup on his sack, hefting him like she was trying to feel his weight or something."God you feel full to bursting, have you not nutted in a while?" She asked him.Jake frowned, "I haven't even been able to get, well get it up since the night with Alexis. Porn does have the same appeal right now." He explained.Galina nodded, "You poor baby, got used to the real thing and now you can't take care of yourself." She twisted her head to lick along his long length, "Don't worry Galina's here to give you relief, you just let out everything you have for me and I'll take all you can give baby." She cooed. She opened her mouth and sucked the tip of him between her lips again, bobbing her head gently. Each pass she made, he watched and felt her take him deeper into her mouth, until his tip began to bump her throat then she eased up carefully.She continued to stroke him with her fist firmly but carefully as well, like she was trying to please him and give him a good blowjob, but at the same time she didn't want to push him over the edge too quickly. Her technique was perfect, because he was able to comfortably savor what she was doing, but none of it felt enough to drive him to eruption. That would be an event for later.Galina pulled her mouth off of him, she rose her body off the bed a bit and spat on his shaft. Her stroking hand ran through her spit to add wetness to her strokes. While he hand kept moving she looked up at him with a smile and a little rope of spit on her chin. "Where would you like to nut?" She asked him.Jake blinked at her as his cock surged in excitement. Slowly he smirked down at her, "Depends, what are my options?"She chuckled seductively, "Absolutely anywhere.""Well that's too many options, you can't spoil me for choice like that." He teased. "I want to cum inside you."Galina laughed, "Okay." She pulled her top over her head and pushed her way back onto the bed to peel her sweatpants off. Jake was right, she'd worn them to make undressing quick and easy because with those two items she was naked and ready. She shifted her way back to prop herself onto his pillows and spread her legs open for me. "Come here, big Daddy." She told him, twirling her fingers on her little mound, rubbing herself. "Let's see if I can take that big fucking dick."Jake tossed off his shirt quickly and kicked away his mostly peeled away sweats. He leapt onto the bed and scrambled over Galina quickly. He kissed her firmly, pressing his tongue between her lips. With his fingers he reached for her, pushing her own fingers away so he could slip his middle finger inside of her. She groaned in pleasure against his mouth, her soft, wet tunnel clamped down upon just his finger tightly and he knew his cock was going to feel incredible sinking into her.She moaned at his touch, wiggling her hips into his hand. The motion of her hips caused her walls to ripple and flex around his finger. Jake could already picture her tight little tunnel doing the same thing along his length. He broke the kiss, and smiled at her, "I want to try something." He told her.Galina giggled and wiggled under him. "Oh, getting experimental?" She teased.He shrugged, "I dunno, it might be terrible." He bent down to kiss her between her breasts, dragging his lips down her belly and lower still. His finger slipped from her body only for his mouth to cover her little slit. He kissed her soft puffy lips at first, really working up the courage to actually taste her. Galina rocked her hips gently, encouraging him to do as he liked. Given freedom Jake pressed his tongue between her folds and twirled his tongue in her pink.Galina reached down to run fingers through his hair, "A little higher," she breathed.Jake shifted and felt her nub under his tongue, the infamous clit which no man could find on his own apparently...including him. Still his tongue over her sensitive button brought a squeal from her, so that is where he focused. His tongue worked around her clit, flicking it back and forth, twirling around it. He played with her licking and sucking what he could, her moans or wiggling hips would guide him to what she liked and he tried his best to learn.The faster he moved his tongue the more she moaned and clutched the sheets. Jake didn't stop, even when it seemed her hip motions were actually trying to get away from him. "JAKE!" She cried, moaning. "Ah! Jake I'm gonna cum, oh my god! Fuck!" Her hips dropped hard and her whole body shook violently. Galina's mouth was open like she was screaming, her eyes closed tightly, but no sound came out until the very end where it was like a balloon squealing as it lost the last of its air.She slumped into the mattress panting, "Oh shit Jake."Jake rose to his knees and smiled, "That was easier than I thought."Galina laughed, "What? What did you think it would be like?""I don't know. Maybe like trying to solve a Rubix Cube with my tongue?"She propped herself on her elbows to gaze up at him, the position was incredibly sexy to see. Her hair hung over a side of her face, but he could see the look on her face easily enough. "A Rubix Cube? Okay you big dweeb, put your dick inside me." She mocked.

The Gods fight to the death.Based on a post by DustinMidnight, in 9 parts. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.Vanessa was driving as fast out of town as she could, her bags in the trunk of her car. She glanced at the clock on the dashboard, waiting for it to be late enough in the morning to call her sister to let her know she was going to have a surprise visit.She saw signs for a work zone and let the car slow a bit. The last thing she needed was to be pulled over for speeding. “Come on, I just need to get as far away from here as I can,” she muttered. She imagined the nightmare of what would happen when Liesmith discovered she hadn't succeeded in what he wanted her to do – seducing Dan. She cursed under her breath, suddenly craving another cigarette. She wanted – no, needed a smoke. Everything was driving her crazy. She found the pack at the top of her purse on the passenger seat, pulled one out, and placed it in her mouth, then needed to hunt for a lighter, her fingers fumbling through the purse while she kept her eyes on the road.“Come on, where are you?” she groaned under her breath, still hunting for the thing. Suddenly, a hand holding a lighter appeared in front of her.“Need a light?” a male voice said with a light chuckle. Vanessa's eyes widened as she let out a scream. The car swerved across two lanes, narrowly avoiding hitting any other cars. Vanessa suspected that Liesmith was manipulating everything around them to make sure that she wasn't going to hit anyone. She continued sideways across the shoulder, then off the road, and slammed into a tree. Everything went dark for Vanessa as she heard, “I'm not done with you.”Dan and Annabelle pulled each other into the bedroom, their arms around each other, like a pair of horny teenagers. They ripped each other's clothes off. Dan's shirt fell right on top of Gizzy's head where she was sitting cross-legged on the floor, though the gremlin wasn't paying much attention – she had found an old portable radio in a drawer and was tearing it apart just to see how it worked.The lust that ran over the two of them was pure desire. Dan ripped Annabelle's shirt open with a light growl, as Annabelle moaned.“Oh, Dan! Are you planning on being rough with me tonight?” she teased. Dan picked her up and put the goddess over his shoulder, and she began to squeal in utter delight.“I'm gonna be rough with you all day and all night, baby!” Dan chuckled, his voice sounding gruff. He was prepared to reclaim his woman – his wife – his goddess! It was the only way. He began carrying her off to the sex dungeon she had created. No point in wasting such a nice thing, right?Dan carried the goddess into their little red room, though it wasn't very little.The walls were lined with many sex toys, and there was a huge heart-shaped bed in the center. Dan noticed a switch labeled “Bed” on the wall, flipped it with his free hand, and saw that it made the bed spin in a slow circle. He smirked as he practically tossed Annabelle onto the bed, watching how she started moving in a circle. Dan reached down and began undoing his pants.The goddess's eyes were locked on him even as she was moving with the bed. “Hmm, sweetheart, you look like a beast,” she cooed.Dan couldn't help but chuckle as he muttered,“Well, I guess you're my prey, then, ‘cause this beast is feeling hungry.” He dropped his pants, revealing the large and lengthy bulge in his underwear, pressing against the fabric enough to leave nothing to the imagination.“Oh, is that so, Mr. Beast? Are you planning on taking down your beauty?” She giggled as she reached down and pulled her panties off, tossing them at her lover, making sure the silken garment landed right on his face. Her scent was intoxicating. As he walked closer, he tossed those musky panties off to the side, hitting a button on the wall. A panel slid open, revealing a speaker that began playing sweet music, a bottle of champagne, and two glasses.Dan didn't care about that. He barely even noticed that built-in feature. He bounced right towards Annabelle on the bed, leading with his built-in feature, causing her to squeal in delight.“Oh, dear, there's a penis between us!” she exclaimed in a slight Russian accent.“Ja, he has ways of making you squeal,” Dan responded, using his best attempt at a German accent. Annabelle giggled as Dan kissed her neck. That kiss soon turned into a bite, as he reached down caressing her perfect body. It started with massaging her legs, though he quickly moved on to cupping her breast.“How do you want this, my darling? Want it nice and slow, or do you wanna skip foreplay?” Dan winked, as he started moving his head down, suckling her nipple, his tongue rolling around the hard nub between giving it some good nibbles.“Fuck, let's take our time,” moaned Annabelle. “I want to enjoy this for as long as we can. We've got all night, after all. I intend to make you keep that promise.” She giggled, as she started rubbing the back of his head, her nails scratching his scalp. Dan smirked as he pulled on her nipple with his teeth before letting it go.“Sounds like a plan,” he said. He returned to what he was doing, his right hand twisting and playing with the other nipple while he was leaning using his other hand. Annabelle began pushing him down, a lustful grin on her face. She wanted his mouth somewhere a little more special. Her toes curled in excitement. Her pussy was already hot for this mortal.Dan grabbed her legs and began pushing them apart, his mouth watering as he moved in close, starting with her slit, licking it nice and slowly. He used his fingers to rub her clit, rolling his fingers around and giving it a light push. Dan chuckled while giving light, teasing licks, really getting a taste of her sacred nectar.Annabelle moaned and snapped her fingers. A pair of feminine hands appeared behind Dan, those fingers slowly starting to caress his firm shaft. The way they caressed his member made him groan.“Such a good boy,” she said with a giggle as she arched her back. He started moving his tongue in a swirling motion as he pushed it down deeper into her cunt. Annabelle's thighs were rolling back and forth, grinding into him.“Hmm, yes! Yes!” She let out a hard groan as she reached down, her fingers slowly going through his hair. A hard moan came from her throat as she felt her pussy tighten even more. Dan was driving her insane, his fingers pushing her clit like a button. Oh, yes he had figured out how to push this goddess's buttons, and he was good at it.“Yes, keep going a little deeper!” Annabelle moaned again the magical animated hands that were teasing Dan moved faster, their grip tightening as they jacked his cock off. Dan groaned, his eyes closing as the hands were squeezing his member a little too tight. But, fuck, did it feel good. He licked faster. He pulled his hand away from her clit, and he grabbed her thighs as he pulled her in closer.“Hmm!” Dan moaned. Her taste was so addicting. He wondered if he was becoming addicted, but at this moment, he didn't care. His tongue rolled around faster, clockwise, and then counter-clockwise. The honeysuckle taste was overwhelming his senses, his cock throbbing hard. Annabelle suddenly pulled him right up and growled.“Fuck me!” she ordered in a harsh moan, as she pulled him right on top of her, kissing him with unrelenting passion. The smell of lust was overwhelming.“Hmm, you want me to fuck you, huh?” Dan smirked. “Well, I suppose I can, since you've been such a good girl.” He leaned down, kissing her neck. His right hand gave her thigh a firm smack.“Eek!” Annabelle squealed in delight. She nodded enthusiastically and squealed,“Oh, yes, I've been such a good girl! Now fuck me, baby! "Her hand grabbed Dan's cock and positioned it right where it belonged, and he thrust. Her pussy was dripping wet. Dan wasn't going to need lube for this. He began to thrust deep inside her.She felt as great as always. Dan shuddered and groaned while he moved deep into her. Annabelle's leg's wrapped around his thighs as they started to fuck each other's brains out. Both panted heavily as their bodies rubbed together. The sweat was glistening on their bodies. Their desire seemed unbridled as Dan continued thrusting deeper, Annabelle's legs adding leverage as he pushed his cock inside her.The goddess's hands went down his back, fingers sinking deep into his flesh, scratching him as she moaned harder. Dan returned the same moan. They were moving together as if they were one. With each movement by one, the other responded. It almost seemed more like dancing than fucking.As the moments went by, their excitement overwhelmed them. Her pussy was hotter than it should have been, causing Dan's cock to throb with delight. He whispered in her ear,"I'm gonna cum, baby. I hope you're ready.” He kissed her on the lips. His tongue pushed between those perfect lips, and Annabelle returned the favor.“So am I.” Dan could hear her. Annabelle didn't speak it, but it was as if they were reading each other's minds. Dan's hips were slamming faster, his body pushing on without fighting it off. There was a groan from both of them as Dan began cumming inside her, his load shooting deep into her.He collapsed onto the bed,his breathing getting heavy as he looked at her. His heart pounded faster, and finally, the words came out as he drank in the sight of the goddess, a sheen of sweat coating her perfect skin, her hair disheveled, as they were spinning around on that heart-shaped bed.“I love you,” he simply said. Annabelle started to say something in response, but he interrupted her by kissing her with great passion.When they finally pulled back from the kiss, Annabelle simply smiled and licked her lips gently.“Ready for Round 2?” she giggled as she gently caressed his scratched-up back.“Give me a minute or two to recover,” Dan joked. He rolled onto his back, looking up at the mirrored ceiling, and took in a long, deep breath.Annabelle soon rolled back on top of him, held up an old-fashioned mechanical stopwatch that she'd conjured up somehow, and eagerly proclaimed,“You had your minute, big boy!”It was going to be a long night. By morning, they'd made use of most of the toys in the room. Dan and Annabelle fell asleep in each other's arms. The goddess's body was completely red from pure pleasure.Dan laid on the couch a bag of ice around his crotch. That thing was beyond sore. His breathing getting heavy. As He was poked by Gizzy. Who had somehow gotten ahold of a slightly sexy nurse outfit? Dan didn't get why she made it so sexy but he suspected this was Annabelle teasing him more. His hips groaned as it was clear that he and Annabelle overdid it last night after some wild makeup sex.“I swear, I don't think I'll be able to have sex for months.” He grunted as he grabbed another beer. Barely thinking much. Sure he could walk but fuck. His dick was the real issue. As it pulsed. Gizzy giggled pushing his thigh as she wiggled her mini skirt.“Decided to overdo the snu snu huh big boy?” She smirked while Dan flinched as he shuddered,“Yeah, though I got Snu snu.” He smirked as he patted the Gremlin's head. Knocking off her nurse hat. Gizzy pouted in annoyance as she went off to make some soup for him. Dan sighed and had to wonder what that Gremlins deal was. She seemed too unpredictable. But at least she wasn't firing off her zooka. Which was a relief. Knowing his luck she'd somehow hit him right in the dick if she fired it off.Dan reached over grabbing a soda and sighed quenching his thirst. He sighed as he was about to change the channel. When the doorbell rang.“Who could that be?” He began walking towards the door with a slight limp as he left the icepack on the couch. He was wearing a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt. Nothing to exposed as he opened the door. There standing in front of him was none other than Vanessa. Though something was wrong. Vanessa looked as though she had just had the shit kicked out of her. Bruises over her body. A bloody lip. She looked as though she was just in a fight and lost horribly.“Vanessa are you ok?” He asked as he was about to bring her in probably call the cops to get her some help. Though she mumbled out with a husky voice.“Dan… Run.” Though before he could comprehend what she was saying a figure stepped into view it was none other than Liesmith. His hair was slicked back now blonde with a cocky expression that screamed. I have a face that needs to be punched. He reached over grabbing Vanessa's shoulder giving it a light squeeze while biting his lips. Those eyes seemed more like a chaotic predator ready to strike when the time was right.“Hello Dan, I see you're still here.” He let out a chuckle before waving his hand. Dan suddenly felt an invisible force slam into him sending him across the room. His body groaning hard as he hit the wall. And slid down into the ground.“Fuck!” Dan muttered his back was hurting. Though he didn't think anything was broken. Vanessa was pushed into the room as she collapsed on her knees while Liesmith walked in popping his neck.“Hmm what a nice place. It's a shame about what's going to happen.” As he snapped his finger, and everything began flying around. The Tv was being smashed and destroyed. Dan cursed under his breath as he tried getting up. He was ready to throw this guy out of his ass, Maybe kick his ass. It was clear he wasn't having a good day.“What the Hell are you doing?” Dan groaned as he tried getting back up. Though the winds kept him right in place.“Well, I tried playing nice, get you to leave her. But you just had to fight with me. So fuck it. No more Mr. Nice God. I've come to take back what's mine.” It was there Liesmith moved in and slammed his fist onto Dan's face. It hurt like hell. While Dan hissed and muttered,“Fuck you!” He groaned when at that moment, Annabelle called out.“Dan is everything alright?” But before Dan could scream out to her to run, Liesmith covered his mouth and called out mimicking his voice.“Why Yes Annabelle, everything ok, just some movie, hey wanna come to join me!” Liesmith let out a wide grin as he moved over and punched him harder. Dan tried screaming while his voice muffled more. He reached over grabbing Liesmiths face trying to fight back do something to escape this god's grip. A hard screech but soon Annabelle eventually walked in. When she looked overseeing them, she instantly looked angry“LieSmith what the fuck are you doing here! And why are you attacking my husband you son of a Kraken!!” Her body was instantly transforming as she was wearing a black robe almost matching the suit she wore, along with the scythe in her hand. Her knuckles seemed pure white as she held onto her weapon tightly.“Oh, Annabelle, sweet, beautiful Annabelle– I came back for you my love.” His cocky smile. Annabelle was not amused as she pointed the scythe off at Liesmith.“Blah, blah, blah, go fuck yourself We're divorced and the restraining order says you can't even be in the same state as me you fucking creep!” She raised her weapon and was getting ready to strike though Liesmith popped his neck and blocked Annabelle's scythe holding it by the base.“I Don't remember agreeing to those terms, you bitch.” He moved over and without warning, Annabelle was knocked back. She gripped the scythe as she used it as an anchor. As she got her footing back she started running right over slashing the weapon. Liesmith only bounced back and forth while dodging the Goddess.“Hmm getting slow are you, I remember you use to be so much faster, what's the problem? Not enough people dying!” Liesmith chuckled before snapping his fingers. A tornado of Dan's possessions whirled around the god uncontrollably as he started throwing them at her.“It was you!” Annabelle screamed slashing through the objects thrusted at her. They turned to dust against her blade.“Me doing what my dear, just balancing things out. Spread a little chaos for my death Annie Belle.” He winked before letting out a laugh as he ran at her.“You are fucking with the natural order, it's causing dangerous god damn chaos!” Annabelle cried as she was ready to slam at the Liesmith.Dan could only watch in annoyance as he looked towards the two gods fighting against each other. He wasn't sure what he could do. He was simply mortal. But a thought came to him. If he couldn't fight the god he might be able to do something when he looked over towards his bedroom.He managed to slip around the two, while the gods where locked against each other in utter battle. A growl in their eyes as Annabelle was barely able to keep up. She felt slower. Her strength was breaking down.“Getting weaker good. Stopping certain people from dying from your little list, and I weaken you, and the chaos of those little monkeys running around gives me strength. And boy does it feel good.” Liesmith felt his body getting stronger. His eyes glowing as he was ready to attack and strike her down even more.Dan ran to his room running over to the closet. He swung the door opened and grabbed ahold of the shot gun that resided in the corner. A gift from the old man, for when they would go off on their next hunting trip. He hadn't had time for that with everything going on. As he began throwing stuff out hunting for the ammo.“Come on where are you, fuck!” He was wasting time till he finally pulled out some of his clothes when he saw Bast laying on the box. He picked Bast up slinging her out the door as the cat goddess began screeching.“What the fuck!” Bast exclaimed as she turned into a more human form, her long black hair flowing down against her. The gold ankh bouncing against her breast.“Sorry Bast but you were sleeping on the ammo, Annabelle's in trouble!” He exclaimed while ripping the gun opened and started loading the shot gun up.“Wait in trouble? What the hell are you talking about?”“Some asshole named Liesmith broke into the house and attacked us. Annabelle's fighting him, and I'm going to help in anyway I can.” Dan was ready to run when Bast flared up.“Did you say Liesmith, as in Joe Liesmith. Fuck, Fuck not that fucker again. Thats it, I'm going to end that motherfucker.” It was there Bast's head transformed from a cute cat headed woman into that of a god damn Sabertooth tiger, the long sharp fangs glistening under the light.“Ok who the hell is Liesmith, I mean I might as well know who he is before I try blowing his god damn brains out.” Dan asked as he cocked the shot gun.“A crazy jackass of a god, just cause he's the god of Life and Chaos. Those fuckers are always unstable. Though he's got an obsession for Annabelle, and claims she's his cause she's his polar opposite.” There Bast turned as she was running out of the room. Gizzy following behind as she screamed out.“Defend the Goddess!” Though this would give Dan an idea as he grabbed the Gremlin who was holding onto her DIlzooka clearly ready for battle.“Hey Gizzy fill the tub up and jump in there.” He pointed towards the tub.“There can only be one Gizzy!” Gizzy screamed clearly not interested in the idea, Dan sighed and responded.“Do it for Annabelle and if you do, I'll buy you a something to build.”“Have sex with me tonight and you have a deal, also You buy me a tools! Lots of Tools!” Gizzy responded crossing her arms. Which was funny while trying to balance the dildo shooting Bazooka.“U

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 7, 2024 is: misbegotten • miss-bih-GAH-tun • adjective Misbegotten describes things that are badly planned or thought out. // They were sent on a misbegotten diplomatic mission that was sure to fail. See the entry > Examples: "After some misbegotten albums and a run of singles that barely scraped the lower reaches of the chart, [Tony] Bennett split with the label in 1971." — Chris Morris, Variety, 21 July 2023 Did you know? In the beginning, there was begietan, and begietan begot beyeten; then in the days of Middle English beyeten begot begeten. All of the Old English and Middle English ancestors above basically meant the same thing as the modern beget—that is, "to father" or "to produce as an effect or outgrowth." That linguistic line, combined with the prefix mis- (meaning "wrongly" or "badly"), brought forth misbegotten. While the word has carried several meanings over the centuries, including "contemptible" (as in "a misbegotten scoundrel"), today it most often describes things—such as beliefs, projects, or adventures—that are poorly planned or thought out.

So, tell me if you know this story. This week I shopped for way too many groceries and then in an epic showing of avoiding what I SHOULD have been doing, I pulled everything out of the pantry, fridge and freezer. Yes all of it. Washed everything down and reorganized all food items in my life. I donated the "no-longer-what-I-want-to-be-eating-but-still-good", purged the outdated, composted the pickles that were gifted back in 2018 and scraped the gunk out from underneath the crisper draw. Then and only then could I put away my massive grocery haul, full of the ingredients for no less than the 3 intensive meals to be made THIS week and meats to be turned into pressure canned meals. Yes, an activity that will take no less than 6,000 hours to complete. Because, you know, it's the perfect time for that. In the midst of a growing Christmas-gifts-to-make list, more work than I can accomplish and a fairly persistent case of the "mehs" (the sneaky kind that dull you down, but don't knock you out). Why do we unearth the big, dirty project that we've been avoiding for months and do it, in a desperate frenzy, the moment we have other things that are arguably more important? To be fair, I found the big organization and clean-up to be like a giant, soothing exhale in my soul, aside from the guilt tucked in my belly that said, yes but what about the important and timely things? You have to do this RIGHT now? This is actually one of my tips for life...when you're avoiding doing something important, simply drum up something even more important and in your frenzy to avoid that, you'll happily do the first one! You're welcome. (but don't tell me you're not already using this tip!) Gah! But honestly, it was the soothing I was after, wasn't it? The feeling of having things in order and well-tended...and under control. Maybe that's where the "meh's" came in. I believe we do things for a reason. Not simply because we lack discipline (although I like to berate myself from time to time with the best of them, I mean honestly what was I thinking with the canning project right now?) but because we are out of balance or out of sorts and we're trying to right ourselves. And that, that I can have empathy for. That pantry/canning project took my time and added stress to be sure, but it also gave me something. The soothing I mentioned earlier, the feeling of order and control, but also the satisfaction of a job started and completed and the security that comes from ready-to-eat meals in the (sparkly clean) pantry. And while I didn't consciously choose to overload my compact shopping cart so much so that I had to swap it out for a larger one at the checkout, I was, after all, looking out for myself. Aren't we amazing creatures!?! Now to sit with those feelings I was trying to sooth and see where I can bring balance back into my life in a non-time consuming, frenzied way. Again and again and again... https://kinshiphandwork.com/tina@kinshiphandwork.com

This week, Dave gets boomerific yapping about the new Robert Zemeckis film HERE (3:14), starring Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, and a bunch of other actors who should have known better, as they tackle Zemeckis' latest blundered technology cry-fest. Gah. Then Megan and Evan talk about HIGH TIDE (13:54), Marco Calvani's queer love story, set in Provincetown, Mass., between a heartbroken undocumented Brazilian immigrant and a man leaving the country in a week. Finally, Dave and Megan discuss MUSIC BY JOHN WILLIAMS (34:36), which is a documentary about the storming of the Bastille. Weird that a documentary about the Bastille would be called MUSIC BY JOHN WILLIAMS, right? (Just kidding, it's a documentary about legendary film composer and jazz pianist John Williams. Dave has been sacked. - ed.) Over on Patreon, we loooooved the 1995 Denzel Washington-starring, Carl Franklin-directed DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 4, 2024 is: gossamer • GAH-suh-mer • adjective Something described as gossamer—such as a butterfly wing or a thin fabric—is very light or delicate. // Except for a few gossamer clouds, the sky was clear and blue. See the entry > Examples: "At the bookstore, the crowd was largely made up of teen-agers, many of whom had donned costumes: gossamer pink tutus and oversized hair bows that evoked Marie Antoinette's style...." — Rachel Syme, The New Yorker, 22 Jan. 2024 Did you know? Centuries before its breezy emergence as an adjective meaning "extremely light or delicate," gossamer was used as a noun. It came to our language by way of Middle English, where gossomer (literally "goose summer") referred to a period of mild weather in late autumn or early winter. Gossomer was also used in Middle English as a word for filmy cobwebs floating through the air in calm, clear weather, possibly because somebody thought the webs looked like the down of a goose or because that mild period was when they tended to notice the spider silk wafting. This sense eventually inspired the adjective gossamer, which describes things that are as light or delicate as cobwebs. The noun form of gossamer is still floating around: it has held onto its Middle English predecessor's meaning of "a film of cobwebs" and can also refer to something that is light, delicate, or insubstantial, as in "a thread of gossamer."

New Year, Motherhood, and home life decisions.Based on a post by Baztrachian, in 2 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Steamy Stories.Shauna was up just before Kelsey was done in the shower and she went about making breakfast. Jim was his usual chipper self when the three of them sat down for their morning repast.The conversation was pretty light and they talked about their plans for the New Year.Jim and Shauna had ideas about finishing out the remaining two bedrooms on the house. And then the conversation turned to Kelsey.“What are your plans, sweetheart?” asked Jim.Kelsey looked at him and tried to reconcile this version of Jim with the one who was fucking her and her mom.“I guess to find a job and find a place of my own.”Jim nodded. “Very sensible plan.”That evening the trio watched a classical music presentation about the New Year in Vienna. The music wasn’t exactly to Kelsey’s liking but it was beautiful and so were the scenes from around Vienna. She had no fantasies about ever visiting the place but it was nice all the same.When the show ended Kelsey picked up and took a few things out to the kitchen. When she came back Shauna was already gone and she could see that she was supposed to go to bed with Jim.“I think I’ll sit up for a while.” she said to him.“No, I think we need to talk. Come with me.” he instructed.He led her to his bedroom and shut the door.“You don’t like it here?” he asked.“Wait, no, why would you say that?” she asked.“You said you want to leave. You know, get a job and get your own place. Don’t you like it here?”“It’s not like that.” she protested.“Then tell me what it’s like.”She sat down on the bed. “The last week or so has been pretty confusing I guess.”“Okay, so I get that. So your plan is to leave and get away from the confusion?”She looked at her feet. “I guess.”“What are you afraid of here? What’s wrong with staying on?” he asked.“If I stay, you’re gonna make me pregnant and then I’ll have to stay.”“Would that be so bad? Your mom likes it. Don’t you want to give it a try?”She looked up at him with amazement, “A baby isn’t something you just try, it’s forever. I mean if I have a baby with you then it would never make sense to leave. I’d be taking the baby away from you and living who knows where and trying to make it. And it’s not anything I can undo.”“What if you were pregnant right now? What would you do?” he asked.She shrugged. “I guess I’d have to stay, I mean there’d be no choice.”“I told you that I love you.” he reminded her.“I know.”“How do you feel about me?”She looked at him. “I’m not sure. I mean I know I like you and everything but I’m not sure, past that. This has all been kind of fast and kind of weird, too. I mean you’re my mother’s boyfriend and now you’re kind of mine, too.”“And if you got pregnant you’d stay and sort out your feelings, right?”She quickly shook her head, “Yeah, I guess I’d have to, but I’m just not ready for that.”For Jim she’d told him what he needed to know. It was what he wanted to hear, really.He pulled off his t-shirt and dropped his boxers.“Jim, I, uh, this isn’t a good idea.” said a flabbergasted Kelsey as she looked at Jim. The bedroom light was on and she was getting to see him in the light for the first time. She was suddenly keenly aware of how big he was.He took hold of his long cock and shook it at her. “What you need is to have this make up your mind for you.”He reached down and took her hand and stood her up. “Take it off. I want to get a good look at you.”“Jim,” she protested.He reached for the buttons on her nightshirt and started undoing them. She did nothing to stop him because at this point she knew there’d be no stopping him anyway. He pushed the flannel garment off her shoulders and gave her tits a nice palming. Then he pushed her panties down to her ankles. She stepped out of them on her own.“Bed.” he said as he pointed at it.“Please,” she whispered as she got into the bed. He moved around to the other side.“Are you going to turn the light off?” she asked.“No.” he replied, getting into the bed next to her.She lay on her back and held her arms to her chest when he pulled the blankets away.His hand went to her flat belly. “So you’re afraid of me planting a baby in here, huh?”She felt her heart thumping in her chest as she replied. “Yes.”“Why is this so scary to you when we’ve already been doing this a few times?”She swallowed. “It’s different when you mean to make a baby.”He gave a modest laugh as his hand rubbed her belly and wandered up to her tits. “Kelsey, I’ve been meaning to make a baby in you every time I been with you.”Her eyes went wide for a moment. Realization hit her. “My mom wants me pregnant?”He nodded, “Yep, right from the start.”He moved onto her body and she didn’t argue when his legs went between her own.Jim looked down at her and he liked what he saw.Kelsey looked up at him and some things started to make sense to her. He always fucked her like he had a purpose and now she understood it. It wasn’t enough for Jim to fuck a woman, he wanted to make her pregnant too.Kelsey was disturbed by this revelation but a big part of her was aroused by it.A man wanted to have a baby with her. This man.His cock rubbed between her nether lips and she willingly spread her legs for him.Jim looked into Kelsey’s eyes as his cock started to move into her. She took in a sharp breath and then wrapped her arms around his neck.He rose up and looked down between them. She looked too. In the light she saw the fullness of his cock slowly pumping in and out of her body.Her eyes went back to his and he kissed her.“Tell me you love me.” he said to her.“I love you.” she said. Her fingers ruffling through his hair.He kissed her again as his cock went deep. She tensed and then relaxed when he pulled back.“Tell me you want my baby.”The tingle of orgasm was starting in her belly.“I want your baby.” she breathlessly replied.His lovemaking became fucking and it triggered her euphoria. He kept it going for what felt like an eternity and when her pleasure finally ebbed she didn’t care when he stabbed deep into her pussy and started cumming.They fell asleep with the light on. Kelsey lay on her back and Jim lay next to her. One of his legs across hers. His hand on her belly.Sometime during the night Jim woke up and got up to turn off the light. Getting back into the bed he felt Kelsey’s soft, naked body and he firmed up.“Huh?” she said as he moved onto her.His cock easily slid into her moist pussy and she simply said, “Oh.”It was a quick fuck and she felt warm and satisfied when he was done.A New Year.New Year’s Day arrived with more snow. The breakfast conversations were pleasant and Jim, as always, was congenial and happy.Jim went off to help a neighbor with a weather related problem and that left Kelsey and Shauna alone for a while.Shauna spoke first. “I see you and Jim sorted things out. You both seem pretty happy today.”Kelsey’s eyebrows went up for a moment. “I guess you could say that, yeah.”Shauna leaned into it, “How about a little girl talk and you tell me about it?”Kelsey looked at her mom, “So Jim told me you wanted me pregnant right from the start.”“It’s true.”“Why?”“Because, sweetie, you had this empty life in California and I missed you and wanted you to be home again. I also thought you needed a good man and a baby and Jim’s the best man I can think of.”Kelsey laughed. “Momma, you never heard of dating apps? I mean I could have found a man on my own you know.”Shauna shook her head, “No baby, what you found weren’t men. A real man is a different thing from what you had in California. And don’t tell me you don’t like the difference because I heard you last night and you were definitely not complaining, were you.”“No.” replied Kelsey. “And I can’t believe I’m having this discussion with you!”“Yeah, it is a little crazy. A little bit.” Shauna agreed. “But we share the same man so who else are we going to talk to about him?”“I guess so.” said Kelsey.When Jim got back from the neighbor’s place the clock was heading towards four and the sun was starting to dim.The two women were dressed in their night time outfits already with warm robes and slippers on. Jim saw Kelsey all cozy and cuddly and he decided to ask her to give him a hand in the bedroom.Shauna smiled when Jim winked at her while Kelsey led the way.A few minutes later Kelsey was on her back with Jim fucking her for everything he was worth.Shauna heard them from the living room and she turned down the TV. She got up and went to the bedroom door and found it was open a crack. Pushing it open a tad more she saw Kelsey’s bare feet up in the air and Jim’s big frame pounding away between her legs.Over the next few weeks, the line in Jim’s personality started to blur, just a bit.Where he usually reserved his sexual side for the bedroom there were more than a few days when he came home from work, took Kelsey by the hand, and almost dragged her off for a fuck.One day he came home and found Kelsey fresh out of the shower. She was in the kitchen wearing just her fuzzy bathrobe when Jim came in and saw her. He’d been thinking about her all day. In a few minutes she was sitting naked on the island counter with Jim fucking her.Shauna came into the kitchen and said, “Excuse me.” as she reached for the coffee pot. Jim grunted at her and Kelsey just made a noise.Sitting down at the kitchen table Shauna watched the show.She saw how Jim would drive deep with Kelsey, just like he did with Shauna. Except with Kelsey, it was a bit more uncomfortable. Shauna knew this would change after Kelsey had a baby.The couple fucked to their completion and Shauna was treated to seeing Jim’s cock and balls contract as they worked to fill Kelsey with cum.A couple minutes later Shauna didn’t say a word as the naked couple walked past her to get cleaned up for dinner.After dinner Jim excused himself to do something with his truck and just as soon as the door closed Kelsey turned to Shauna.“I can’t believe you watched us!”Shauna laughed. “It’s my kitchen you know. I do live here.”Kelsey just shook her head. She knew the argument wasn’t going to go anywhere.“You liked it, didn’t you?” said Shauna.“Momma!”“No, admit it baby girl, you’re all growed up and you like getting dicked.”“Jeez, Momma. That’s so crude.”Shauna was having fun! “Crude is getting fucked in the kitchen. Worse is not admitting that you like it!”“Okay, you win, I like it.” said Kelsey, “How’s that?”“That’s fine. Just fine.” said Shauna as Jim came back in and the conversation ended.Kelsey wasn’t too surprised when Shauna wanted to sleep with Jim for a few nights. After seeing the show Jim and Kelsey put on Shauna decided she needed some of that for herself.Kelsey, of course, had to try to sleep with the sounds of fucking coming from the other room.Given her ‘time off’ that she ended up having, she did give some thought to Jim’s sizable appetite for sex. Grabbing her phone one day she did some reading and research on the web and discovered that Jim wasn’t all that unusual in his desire for sex. But in all that reading she also discovered she had an increased desire for sex.It was ironic, she thought, that frequent sex made her want frequent sex. She’d never felt this way with her ex-boyfriend. With him sex was something that Kelsey would sometimes enjoy but mostly tolerate. With Jim it was always serious animal fucking and he made clear that he wanted to see a baby in Kelsey’s belly.And Shauna had Jim to herself for most of the week.When Friday rolled around Jim announced that he had to go help at another store for the weekend. They needed help with replacing some old storage racks and Jim was the resident expert at such things. Besides, he wanted the overtime pay.Kelsey and Shauna had what passed for a pretty normal weekend. They got the household chores caught up, even the laundry, and they managed to have a few pleasant conversations too.Monday night when Jim got home there were the expected kisses and greetings and a few catch-me-ups on what had gone on around the house. After dinner was over the threesome changed into their comfy outfits for the evening and retired to the living room.Shauna was in her usual outfit of pajamas, slippers, and a robe. Jim went for a t-shirt and shorts and oddly fuzzy slippers.Kelsey showed up wearing her button down flannel nightshirt. And just that.She sat down on the couch opposite of Shauna and pulled her feet up. The angle gave Jim a faint view of her uncovered pussy. The fact that her pussy was bare stirred him up.Shauna had chosen a romance-comedy movie for the night. It wasn’t risqué, just romantic and funny. But about halfway through the movie Jim decided not to wait any longer.Getting up from his recliner he walked over to the couch and dropped his shorts. His cock stuck out obscenely and Shauna giggled at the sight.“Excuse us.” he said to Shauna as he knelt down in front of Kelsey.Kelsey knew she’d been playing with fire but still she didn’t quite understand exactly what Jim had in mind. She was wondering if he was going to pick her up and take her to bed but then he grabbed her hips and pulled her ass to the edge of the couch. He pushed her nightshirt up to her belly exposing everything below her waist.Now he pushed her legs apart and then pushed her knees back at her chest.“Oh.” she remarked as she suddenly understood the geometry.Shauna licked her lips as she saw Jim place his cock at Kelsey’s pussy. Kelsey glanced over at her mother and knew her mom was enjoying this. This fact didn’t bother Kelsey.Jim pushed and prodded his cock at Kelsey a couple times and then pulled back and sat on his knees. Pressing a thumb between her pussy lips he worked up her wetness and got turned on watching Kelsey writhe with her arousal.Now he got himself into position again and swabbed his cock into her wetness. Looking down he saw the spongy head glistening and then he pushed it into her.Kelsey had been holding her breath and now she exhaled as she felt Jim’s cock start to enter her. It had been a week since she’d last felt this and she needed it.Jim wanted her too. In a few strokes he had his cock buried into Kelsey. She twitched when he went deep and pushed against her womb. He liked it. So did she. Her hands were on his hips and they were pulling at him, even when he went deep.Shauna watched as her man slow fucked her daughter. 'This is so perverted’ she thought to herself. And then she giggled because she didn’t care.Kelsey heard her mom giggle and was about to have a thought when Jim plowed his cock deep into her and ground it against her insides.“Ow!” she quietly cried out. All while hanging on to Jim’s hips.The way her head was propped against the couch and with her knees tucked up was a bit uncomfortable but the sex was so good that she let it go. She looked around and saw her mom watching the show and when she looked up at Jim she saw his serious face.He slow fucked her for as long as he could and then Kelsey felt his pace pick up. He was getting closer.Shauna saw it too and she moved from her seat.Jim was captivated with fucking Kelsey when he felt his balls get cupped by a hand. He looked and saw Shauna kneeling next to him.Shauna’s fingers lightly brushed his balls and it felt good to her. She could feel them churning and she felt the moisture from Kelsey’s pussy on them. One of her fingers explored Jim’s shaft and then she touched Kelsey’s pussy lips where that shaft entered her.She probed around Kelsey’s pussy and found what she was looking for.Kelsey made an almost mournful sound when she felt her clit being manipulated. Jim was fucking her and she had no idea how he was making this happen. It was just magical to her. The stimulation increased and suddenly Kelsey seized up in a paroxysm of sexual energy.Jim tried to hold it together as Shauna brought Kelsey to her peak. Kelsey’s pussy utterly throbbed with convulsions and he did his best to prolong it for her.And then he felt Shauna cup his balls again. She gently pulled on them as he fucked Kelsey and then she’d run the tips of her fingernails on them.“Gah! Fuck!” he yelled as his cum started to spurt into Kelsey! Shauna kept pulling on his balls causing him to erupt the most powerful orgasm he could ever remember! He fired another time and thought he was going to be done when Shauna started a milking motion. He couldn’t help but to keep fucking Kelsey while his body emptied itself into hers.“Jesus, stop, ” he finally said to Shauna. She milked him some more and it actually hurt when he came again.Only when he pulled away from Kelsey did Shauna let go of his balls.Jim’s insides were sore. He’d never experienced such a thing before.Kelsey was sore, too. Jim’s massive orgasms had caused him to plow painfully deep into her and it almost felt like someone had kicked her in the crotch. But it felt good.Shauna stood up and went back to her seat.Kelsey sat up and heard Jim’s cum hitting the carpet. It was dripping from her pussy and she didn’t care.Looking at Shauna she said, “Mom, what in the actual fuck was that?”The domestic situation is now changed.The next day was a relatively quiet day in the house.Breakfast was consumed, chores were done, lunchtime chatter took place, and all the while the subject of the previous night was studiously avoided.That evening at bedtime Jim suggested that Shauna and Kelsey sleep together in the main bedroom and Jim would take the spare bedroom. “I gotta get some sleep.” he said and neither of the women argued with him about it.The next morning Jim was gone before the ladies even stirred. They’d all had their first uninterrupted sleep in some time and they wer

Season 61, Episodes 236-245, Spoiler Level MS (Medium Spoilers) Irene's service was fraught with anger and misplaced blame. We didn't enjoy it. Thankfully in the rest of the stories there were bright spots – like Mac and Cody finally becoming father and son, Lucky returning, and Lois doing a fabulous job on Hearth and Home. … Continue reading Ep 80: Gah! Enough with the victim shaming… →

You're in for another fun one today! I get to talk with my friend, Demi-Leigh Tebow. She was JUST with us at the Ryman on Sunday too and if you were there, you know it was a blast.

0:24 Q3 2024 5x Categories Chase Freedom: Gas (and other stuff) Discover: Grocery Stores, Walmart (For the first time in FOREVER!!!) Citi Dividend: Gas Why do banks have these cards? To move our spending onto these cards long after the quarter ends. 04:05 Transfer Bonuses Citi -> Cathay Pacific 15% (7/20) Chase -> Aeroplan 20% (7/31) If the space is there and these miles will be used, great to get a discount. Probably not worth speculatively transferring. 08:33 New DeltaOne Premium Lounges Coming in 2024 (OMAAT) JFK: June LAX: Late 2024 BOS: Late 2024 (adjacent to already-open 3rd SkyClub in BOS, in International Terminal E) 13:26 Staggering Decline in Usefulness of giftcards.com Visa/MC GC At one point these were a fantastic way to earn miles and even hit sign up bonuses Recall buying Amex GC and then flipping those to GC.com.  Now what can we do with these? There's certainly a draw with 5-10% off sales. But those are usually small dollar cards  Scale vs spread None of this really matters because there's nowhere these cards even work  19:34 Checking Account with Free ATM Withdrawals Worldwide? First Republic had this for $15k Chase requires $75k min balance Sapphire checking to avoid fees The louses at Chase deactivated First Republic debit cards before the Chase cards arrived. Gah! Do they have the same PIN? I think so? But I go to the ATM infrequently in the US so I'm not sure. Am I over-thinking it? Just pay the fees? Well, it's not just the ATM fee, there's a “foreign exchange rate adjustment fee” that's a percentage (usually around 3%) of the amount withdrawn on top of the ATM fee: “Surcharge Fees from the ATM owner/network still apply. A Foreign Exchange Rate Adjustment Fee from Chase may apply for ATM withdrawals in a currency other than U.S. dollars.” When presented with the question of whether you want to be charged in foreign or USD choose the local currency if your bank here has no Foreign Transaction fees. (Say no to Dynamic Currency Conversion). Example: But the real scary thing is where the ATM you're withdrawing from tacks on a dynamic currency conversion fee, they don't disclose the percentage, the ATM interface makes it confusing to figure out what's going on, and you end up paying what is or feels like a lot more than you should to take money out of an ATM. I really just like to be able to withdraw a reasonable amount of foreign currency as I go without worrying about fees adding up. Schwab Checking has free international ATM withdrawals with no minimum balance Schwab debit card was expired (never used), I don't know what the PIN is, and their phone tree sends me in circles. Thought to go in branch but is there no such thing as a Schwab checking branch? Chatted, guy told me I “may have to speak with Schwab Checking. I thought I was chatting with Schwab Checking!? Maybe Volcker doesn't get the credit he deserves Update as Robert is leaving to Japan and will be using this debit card. 36:48 International Data for Cellphones. Current Status Being connected is pretty much a necessity at this point There are multiple ways to handle this, and with multiple price points and [potential] gotchas How to handle this is also a factor of your current provider, plan, phone and where you're traveling Example: In Mexico many plans ‘just work' as if you're home. How do we each play this when we're outside the country and what pros/cons do these methods have?  Sam: Complicated, but I want data, and really only want data.  I've had a setup for a decade plus that decouples my phone number from a cell provider (think: wifi calling but over mobile data).  That's nice because I can do everything I want/need with my local number with just a data bucket. E-SIM has changed the world (literally). Gone are the days of visiting a kiosk in the airport (rip off!) or scouring the prepaid-data wiki for tips on buying and activating plans.  I've had some wild stories of activating prepaid SIM cards overseas.  ESIM changes all of that.  Basics: Your phone can hold a physical SIM card, or a digital one. Because these are digital now you have providers (Airalo, Dent, Saily, etc) that sell service in other countries (data only usually) for cheap with customer support and easy one or two click install.  Pros: Really cost effective for data hogs: I did this last summer in Japan: $10 per person for 2 weeks worth of data (5-10gb). We hotspotted for the kids who's phones don't support esim.  Norway I'll do the same, it is about $11 for 5gb there.  Some providers have region passes, which are nice and include a bucket of countries like “Eastern Europe” or “South Asia” for hopping around.  Negatives: Your phone number and text messages for your current provider probably won't come through unless you can figure out how to turn on wifi calling and hotspot. I'm not an iphone user so I defer to mostly the ways that android handles these things.  I do believe imessage will continue to work over data, but can't confirm firsthand.  Another negative is that you can have issues with the install, and if you bungle it and somehow delete your main SIM card you could have service interruptions when you come home and switch back.  Zero roaming or other charges because you ‘turn off' your home service completely.  Robert: I enable the AT&T International Day Pass. $12/day for the primary, $6/day for each additional line on the same plan. “Only pay for the days you use, no extra charge after 10 days per line, per bill”

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 7, 2024 is: gossip • GAH-sup • verb To gossip is to talk about the personal lives of other people. // The two siblings often gossip with each other about their neighbors via texting. See the entry > Examples: “Not all gossip is bad, [psychologist, Miriam] Kirmayer said, nor does it always mean someone who talks about others will talk about you. ‘Sometimes, our friends are gossiping as a need to secure support or to set out our perspectives and experiences,' she said. It can be a way to work through a problem or grow closer via shared values.” — Julia Pugachevsky, Business Insider, 26 Mar. 2024 Did you know? Merriam-Webster here, your one and only source for the juicy history of the English lexicon (including gossip, girl). It's no secret that gossiping often involves discussing the intimate details of other people's lives, but did you know that the origins of gossip are a bit more chummy, and even a tad divine? Word on the street is that the Old English word sibb, meaning “relative” or “kinsman,” long ago combined with the word god (meaning, well, “god”) to form godsibb, which referred to a person who was spiritually related to another, specifically by being a baptismal sponsor. Today we call such a person a godparent. Over the centuries, godsibb changed both in form and in meaning. In Middle English, gossib came to be used for a close friend or chum as well as for a godparent. From there it was only a short step to gossip, a word for anyone—not just a friend, relative, or sponsor—known for spilling the tea. By the early 17th century, gossip had expanded into the verb use that has been the talk of the town ever since.

I am always so honored when I get to talk to my friend Latasha Morrison! Her brand new book, Brown Faces White Spaces is such a helpful and needed resource. I'm thankful for Tasha really challenging us to become active participants in the work of restoration and redemption. This book is filled with instruction, correction, and hope. GAH! It's so good! Tasha has been such a gift to so many of us that want to learn, grow, and be a part of this conversation.  TSF Playlist with Mike Kelsey  . . . . Want to watch this episode on YouTube?

Anne Reynolds specializes in relationship healing for women. She brings mindfulness to the forefront of her coaching practice, emphasizing the importance of non-judgmental awareness in relationships.

Anne navigates the complexities of connections and has helped hundreds of women resolve seemingly hopeless relationship challenges.

Her approach to coaching is rooted in the understanding that mindfulness serves as a bridge to neutral communication, fostering healthier, judgment-free relationships.

So I don't run away from them. I feel them, and the more I feel them, the more I can let them go. Thoughts On Breathing If you stop and focus on your breathing, you can help to make sure you do not paralyze your mind. There is a breathing technique that I use. It is from a meditation. It's really simple. You inhale deeply, all the way up through the chakras. Then you exhale slowly until you deplete your lungs. Then there is this beautiful mantra. It is about remembering that you are one with the golden light or the Divine Light. When you could say it in four syllables. So, I teach this in my meditation classes. This is the meditation that we will do. Say Gorongosa in four syllables. For example, Go rah, ang Gah.   Bullying Story Understanding the root of bullying is crucial. I've assisted individuals facing workplace or relational bullying. Drawing from personal encounters, including my daughter's past experience with bullying, I've learned the importance of empowering victims to stand up for themselves. Bullies often harbor unresolved pain, projecting it onto others. Recognizing this, I guide women to bolster their confidence, discouraging bullies by becoming less vulnerable targets. It's essential for individuals to ground themselves, asserting their worth and refusing to be passive shock absorbers. By teaching clients to navigate assertively, I help them break free from the cycle of absorbing hurt. Bullies thrive on exploiting perceived weakness; hence, building resilience and self-assurance is key to dismantling their harmful dynamics. Empathy towards the hurt within bullies facilitates a broader perspective, emphasizing the transformative power of self-confidence in diffusing such situations.
