 Sunday Sharing: New Ideas For Intimacy By AlexanderT – listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. Becky & Eddie were weekend guests at the lakehouse of Jane & Pete, who are retired former neighbors. An alcohol-induced discussion of the previous night led to showing a video album of glamour photos Pete had taken of Jane. Becky summoned the courage to accept Pete's offer to do her own photo album. Having finished the swimsuit portion, Becky was now getting ready for the boudoir portion. Boudoir Beauty The ladies led the way and at the house &headed for the master bedroom, Jane telling Pete and Eddie to go away until called. Pete and Eddie went to kitchen and had a beer.The ladies seemed to have been gone a long time and Pete thought maybe Becky was having second thoughts and Jane was trying to help her decide. Then there was a call, from down the hallway; "Bring the camera." Jane was by the door as the guys entered, and Becky was lying on the center of the bed on her side, her head supported by her arm, her tits sagging, her upper leg thrown over, her knee touching the black satin sheet, her sex covered. Pete smiled, "Oh, yeah." and began taking shots. click, click, click. He moved to each side, taking more pics. Becky's soft smile and intense gaze was ever-present in each frame. She turned over on to her back, spread her legs and Eddie gasped. Becky's cunt was shaved clean. Becky looked to Eddie for a moment to assess his approval. It was obvious he loved it, both by his beaming smile, and the hand he moved down to his shorts. Eddie also knew why it had taken so long to get ready. His dreamy lust for her bare cunt was redirected by the movements of Pete & the click, click, click. "Now up on your knees, arms out like you're reaching for Eddie."  Pete continued in his adrenalin-rich state. click, click, click. Pete knew he needed to keep things moving just to keep himself from getting too enamored by the raw sexuality on display. Capturing this event is more important than enjoying the view on display before him. "Alright. Now, Eddie, it's your turn,” Pete announced. Eddie shook his head, "I don't know anything about cameras." "No, no. Take off your pants. Becky's waiting for you to join here,” Pete directed him. Eddie looked from Becky to Jane and back to Becky. It was as if you were watching a tennis match, but finally loosened his belt and pushed down his jeans and his shorts. He had a decent erection and had no reason to be embarrassed. Pete's voice and tone took on the hypnotic effect of mind control over his subjects.  His confidence took over the decision-making when the young couple needed to be led. Eddie climbed buck naked, over to between Becky's legs. She sat up, smiling with a glow on her face as her Eddie approached. Pete's direction resumed; "Okay, Becky; slowly wrap your hands around it lovingly." click, click, click. "Now massage the balls." click, click, click "And kiss it." click, click, click. "Enough?" or do you want to continue, Jane asked Becky. Becky shook her head, "Everything." Pete looked at Jane and she shrugged. "Okay, keep going. Becky, show him what your oral skills can do. When you're ready, Eddie, pull out and shoot on her face and tits." Pete sat on the sofa by the window and kept taking an occasional pic. Jane came over and kissed Pete's neck as she sat by him, enjoying the two lovers on their bed. They watched Becky give Eddie a blow job. Eddie was upright, kneeling, and Becky rested her weight on one extended arm while her other hand guided Eddie's cock and balls to her mouth. Eddie idly fondling her breasts as his body advanced to the impending eruption. Then Eddie groaned, pulled out and shot all over Becky as she reclined down to the bed with her mouth still open to catch some of his load, click click click. Eddie lay down beside her. She smiled while her adoring eyes looked deeply into his. and they kissed and held each other. Pete came over to the bed after a quiet minute, "Move away for a minute, Eddie." He did and Becky returned her intense gaze back to the camera. Pete took closeup shots of the spots all over Becky's face, shoulders and tits. click, click, click. And her contented, lascivious smile, happy with herself. Pete didn't have to prompt her for the next series.. Becky rolled over on to her stomach, her head down, her knees tucked, and her ass in the air. Pete took shots from several angles of her legs spread, click, click, click. Becky reached back and spread her cheeks and Pete was surprised to see an anal plug in place, click, click, click. And so was Eddie. Eddie got in position and massaged her ass cheeks and placed his penis into her cunt while he pulled out the plug and tossed it aside. Jane came over and poured a dollop of lubricating jelly in the crease. Eddie used his thumb to rub the little star with the jelly and Pete took the shots. click, click, click. The thumb slowly entered her anus and she gasped. After a minute her anus relaxed and Eddie pulled his cock away from her cunt. When Becky was relaxed, Eddie gently stroked her anus a bit as he worked his thumb outward. As his thumb exited he pushed his coated cock in and Becky squealed. One last series of clicks was taken and Pete moved a switch & carefully set his camera on the corner of the bureau. And with that, Pete and Jane left the bedroom. Pete was excited and as soon as they had closed the door her hugged Jane and kissed her. She giggled, "Oh god! I didn't want to leave that show, but I need to fuck you now! But they're in our bed." "Which leaves their bed empty. And we can watch the video later." He pulled her across the hall into the different bedroom. Jane was hornier than a teenage girl at a boy band concert. Within an hour Pete was out. The adrenalin-driven photo session was gone, and Jane took all the remaining energy. Later Pete woke to find the bed empty. He found Jane and Becky in the kitchen, talking & preparing dinner. "About time.” Jane giggled. “There's the steaks. Put them on the grill." Pete grabbed a beer and the steaks and went outside. Eddie was out on the dock, watching the sunset. He saw Pete and came back, grinning. "That's the first time we've ever done that." "What? Had your pictures taken? Or had someone watch?" "No, Well, yeah, that too. No, that's the first time I've ever done her in back." Pete shrugged, "I think she liked it, don't you?" "Oh, yeah. We did it again after you left." After dinner, they talked about taking the photos and how they might use them. Jane smiled, "I like to view them after we make love. Pete recovers a lot faster. It's sort of an intermission for me while Pete's cock takes a break" Becky laughed, "We've never had that problem, have we?" Pete smiled, envying their youth. Surprise Guest Becky was again the first to announce she was ready to go to bed and led Eddie off to their room. Pete and Jane soon followed. As Jane lay between Pete's legs, stroking and kissing his cock, she asked, "Did you enjoy taking pictures of Becky?" "Of course I did. She has a great body." Jane's face took on a mischievous grin.  She got up & straddled him, guiding him into her wet cunt. She leaned forward, pushing a nipple into his mouth. " You like titties! Did you want to suck her titties?" He didn't have to answer, his mouth was full. She whispered in his ear; "And she tasted good when I shaved her. You're going to love it." She rode him for a few minutes while she watched him ponder the meaning of her last comment. Then she yelled excitedly, "YES," though he didn't think she'd had an orgasm. And the door opened into the moonlit bedroom. Becky was naked as she came over by the bed and the ladies kissed. Pete had no idea what was happening as Jane lifted off him, stood and led Becky onto the bed . "Is he still awake?" Becky whispered, with a giggle. "Yes, and he's waiting for you. Enjoy!” Jane turned, bent down and kissed Pete, "I love you," and he watched her tight rear as she left the room. Becky climbed on top of him, her tits bouncing as she felt his rigid cock in her hand. It looked big in the photos, but now it felt even larger in her hand. She inserted him between her legs. She eased down slowly. "Oh, wow. You're really big. I hope Eddie gets bigger as he gets older, too." Pete wasn't going to burst her bubble. He just enjoyed her riding him, her tits swaying above him. Pete was grinning like Christmas morning as he fondled the full tits that adorned Becky's buxom body. He squished and pinched them. He swung and plopped them. He lifted and moved them to various positions and amounts of cleavage. He pulled her down so that he could take a nipple in his mouth. He moved one hand on her ass, his fingers in her crack, massaging her hole then moved the fingers of his other hand, rubbed her clit. Becky beamed, "I'm so glad Jane let me have you for tonight. I think I'm going to....Oh, yes... I'm....Yes. That's the spot. Right there. Yes." She began shaking and he held on to her as she lay on top him. Her breathing slowed, returning to normal. And then she was asleep, snoring. He rolled her on to her side and snuggled against her. In the light of the bedside lamp, he awoke to her sucking his cock. “I've got this new love for doggy style. Do you know of any hard cock I can make use of?” When he was hard, she got on her knees.  Pete got behind her and easily entered her. She was making sounds of pleasure and then whispered, "Do me in the ass, please?" There was nothing Pete wanted more. He got the lube from the bedside table and prepared her. He was pleased to see she'd recovered from Eddie taking her ass, twice (at least). Even so, she was still tight and knowing he was larger than Eddie, he went slow, stopping at intervals. But she wanted more, kept pushing, demanding, until he was slamming into her harder and deeper, with his finger reached around to rub her clit, until blast-off, he shot again and again, deep inside her. It was enough for her and she began shaking. He held on to her as he softened and slipped out. He lay down and she lay half on top of him, her leg across his thigh, her shaved mound pressing his hip. They slept, until he awoke her while licking her bald cunt. She erupted in a loud ecstasy. They made love twice more before morning. When he woke, the bed was empty. He dressed and went down for coffee. After breakfast, Pete brought in his lap top and plugged in the camera's chip and a memory stick. After about 5 minutes he said; "Okay, Eddie, Watch me." At the camera chip, he opened the files and transferred them to the memory stick. He checked to make sure they were on the memory stick and returned to the chip, and erased it. He ejected the memory stick and handed it to Eddie. "Now you have the only copy of the album. You may use it as you wish." "Thanks. I appreciate it." Eddie said, blushing a bit. "It's great to watch after making love. “ Pete counseled. “It'll help you recover & get back in the game" Becky laughed, "Oh, I'm looking forward to that." Visiting The Rock After they finished packing the bags in the car, Becky said, "Before we leave, I want to hike up the hill and take in the lake view one more time." Jane shook her head, "Go ahead. After last night, I'm sore." She winked to Eddie. Pete offered, "I'll go with you." "Yeah, you go, Becky  I'll stay here and make sure we packed everything," offered Eddie. As they started up the hill, Becky took Pete's hand. "This has been a great weekend. I've never enjoyed sex so much." "Enjoyed?" She laughed, "Never had so many orgasms. Probably as many as I've had in the last year." They reached the rock where they could look down at the house, the pier and the lake. The rock was a little high and he had to lift her up. Becky sat down on the rock and Pete stood next to it "Do you bring Jane up here?" "Sure." "Have you made love to her here?" He smiled, "Many times." "Is that why you have a tent in your shorts, remembering?" She reached over and rubbed his shorts. "No, I was remembering making love to you all night, and imagining what it would be like here." He pulled her to the edge next to him and they kissed. He lifted her sweatshirt and tossed it on the rock behind them. She removed her bra and got up off the rock. She reached down and unfastened her shorts and pushed them down. She turned, spread the sweatshirt on the rock and bent forward, face down with her legs dangling over the side of the rock. Pete admired her creamy cheeks as he lowered his shorts. He spread her cheeks and ran his erection up and down her crease, rubbing her from clit to her ass hole. "Do it, damn it." The rock was just the right height. She was wet, and from the night before, she was loose. He grabbed her hips and easily pushed into her. He began slowly stroking in and out. She was crying and whispering encouragement until. "Oh. Oh. Faster. Faster." He quickened his strokes and she began slamming back against him She froze, "Yes. Yes. Yes." But Pete didn't stop. He kept pumping, rubbing his thumb across her other hole as she came down. "Yes, do it." He pushed his thumb in and was surprised it was still greasy from last night. After only a few strokes, she was shaking again. As she recovered from that, "Now do it, for real." "What?" "Fuck me back there." "You want me in your ass?" "Yes, damn it. Fuck my ass." He withdrew from her warmth and placed the tip at her hole. "Yes. Yes." He pushed in. "Oh, damn you're big. Go slow." In, out a little, in a little more until he was buried deep inside her. Her hands were holding her cheeks apart so he could go deeper. She clinched hard as her orgasm hit.  He plowed into her again and again but accidently slipped out. Her ass was too tight from the orgasm and he was so close to his own climax. He could contain himself no longer. He slipped deep into her cunt and began shooting deep inside her and it was enough to set her off again. He kept pumping, finally slipping out. He stepped back, pulled up his pants and then pulled her off the rock and into his arms. They kissed as his hand toyed with her nipples. He whispered, "I'm glad you came." She kissed him and smiled. "Many times." She put on her shorts and put on her bra and sweatshirt. They embraced and kissed. Becky pulled away, "Oh, look. Eddie and Jane are on the patio." They watched as Eddie and Jane kissed, then Jane dropped to her knees and took out Eddie's penis and began sucking. Betty gasped, "Do you think they know we can see them?" Pete nodded his head. "Oh, they know. They're doing it for our benefit. They want us to know that we should make the most of this last moment." They watched Jane stand, push down her shorts and bend over a patio chair as Eddie entered her from behind. Pete stood behind Becky, her body pressed tight as the two below made love. Pete ran his hand under Becky's sweatshirt and caressed her breasts. Becky had never seen her man with another woman. The reality of this swap meet was now visually confirmed. She asked; "Doesn't it bother you to see my Eddie doing your Jane?" Pete took a breath, "Yes, but I accept it if it's the price for getting to make love to you." She turned and they kissed. "Do you think he's doing her ass?" "From here, we can't tell, but it doesn't make any difference,”Eddie asked. “ They're both enjoying it." Are you okay with our new situations? “ I trust you and Jane. Otherwise, no, I'd never be doing any of this” Becky said. “And Eddie & I would not have benefitted from all you and Jane have openly shared with us, making my relationship with Eddie so much deeper. Does that make sense? “Eddie is your man, Becky. He's a good man. Jane is a good woman. You can trust us,” Pete pledged. Eddie appeared to be going faster, then went rigid. After a minute, he fell back and sat in another lounge chair. Jane came over and sat in his lap and they kissed. The show seemed to be over so Becky and Pete made their way down the hill. On the way, Pete handed Becky a memory stick. Her brow wrinkled, "What's this?" "A copy of your album." "I thought you gave it to Eddie?" "Eddie has a copy that the two of you can share. He doesn't know about this one. This is your copy. You can watch it when Eddie's away. Or show to a girl friend. Or even a boy friend." She gave him a quick kiss and they walked on. "Are there any other copies?" "Yes, Jane wanted one, but I assure you, it's safe with her. She won't share." Eddie and Jane were at the car to meet them. Becky noticed a trial running down her inner thigh, & ran in to use the bathroom before they left. There were hugs and kisses all round and then they were gone. Pete took Jane in his arms and asked her. "How much of this weekend did you plan?" She shook her head, "None. I was expecting a quiet week end of sun, fun, good food and wine. It was you that brought up the photos. That's what started it." "I kept trying to stop from showing all of them. It was you that kept egging me on." She kissed him again, smiled, "It worked, didn't it?" I always knew you took great delight in admiring Becky's buxom figure.  I just figured we could trust them and open up a bit. And surprise, they were just as open as we were!” He kissed her again, "It's always worked for us." "Let's go take a nap." But her smile indicated she had other things in mind than sleeping. Announcement Over the next few months, Pete and Jane visited Becky and Eddie in the city. When they went out, they appeared to be double dating, but Pete gave more attention to Becky, and Eddie focused on Jane. At Becky and Eddie's, Becky and Pete got the big bed. When they came to the lake, Eddie and Jane got the big bed. They even had another occasion to watch each other, though Pete did not enjoy watching Jane suck Eddie's cock, or Eddie screw Jane. But he enjoyed screwing Becky. Pete and Eddie even had a chance to watch Becky and Jane, wich ended with the two women orally servicing the men.  As he watched either of the women with Eddie, they seemed to be more reserved than they were with him. He wondered if it was that neither Jane nor Becky wanted Eddie or him to know how much they enjoyed the other's husband. He wondered how the two women made love when Eddie and he weren't watching. He certainly didn't hold back when he screwed either woman, whether they were being watched or not. It had been just over three months when Becky and Eddie sat down across the table at the lake. They were both excited. Finally Becky blurted out, "We're going to have a baby." There were congratulations all around. Pete broke out some champagne and toasted their good fortune. Jane asked, "So when are you due?" Becky looked questioningly at Eddie, then back at Jane, "Six months." "Wow, you can't tell yet." Then Jane's eyes narrowed, "Then it happened around Labor Day?" Then it hit Pete, Becky might have become pregnant when they were here. "You weren't on the pill when you were here?" "We hadn't been on the pill for a few months. We were trying to have a baby." Eddie interrupted. "Listen, you don't have to worry. We don't care. We're just glad she's pregnant. We don't expect you to be responsible. We don't even want to do a DNA." Becky grinned, "What we want is for you to be the Godparents. And the doting aunt and uncle." Jane took Becky in her arms, "We can do that. We're so happy for you." Becky looked over at Pate, "Can we take a walk up to the rock?" They left Eddie and Jane and climbed the hill. "Are you sure the hike won't hurt you?" "I'm not worried. I've done lots of things since I found out. Eddie is still making love to me and I love it." They reached the rock and Becky patted it. "I call this conception rock." "Because you get ideas?" he laughed. "No, because this is where we made a baby." "How can you be so sure? You made love to Eddie a lot of times that weekend, and you and I made love the night before. Why here?" She sighed, "A woman knows." She pulled off her sweatshirt and spread it on the rock, “ I recall every time I brought Eddie to ejaculate, that weekend. I'm pretty sure he either came in my, my mouth, or on my face.”  You came in my cunt several times. Even up on the rock, You were supposed to fill my ass, but you ended up putting a big load in my cunt. She was bra-less and Pete stared, "They've gotten even bigger," he said. She cupped them, "Yes, and they're more sensitive, so be nice." He kissed her as he caressed a breast, then bent down and kissed the other. "Oh, yes. Suck harder. Harder." She was trembling. He reached down and unfastened her shorts and pushed them down. He lifted her up so she sat facing him on the rock and spread her legs. He kissed her thighs and buried his face in her bald pussy. "Do I taste any different?" He looked up, "If anything, you're sweeter." and dove back in. He found her clit, sucked and licked. "Can you taste whether it's a girl or a boy?" He looked up, smiling, "Oh, it's a girl. And she's going to make many men and women happy in her lifetime, just like her mother." He fingered and licked her until she stiffened, then shook with an orgasm. When she recovered, she pushed him away and rolled over on to her stomach and spread her legs. He quickly dropped his pants and began running his cock up and down her crease. "Are you sure this is alright?" "If you don't fuck me right now, I'm going to bite you." He pushed in without difficulty. She was wet and though no longer as tight, she felt really great wrapped around his cock. He caressed her back, the cheeks of her ass. He ran his fingers in to her crack, but when he touched her anus, she murmured, "No, not this time. Just fuck me." He kept stroking in and out until he could no longer contain himself and blasted inside her. It was enough to push her into another orgasm. He kept pumping until he slipped out. He pulled her off the rock, embraced and kissed her. "I've never made love to a Mommy before." She pushed him back and pulled up her pants. As he pulled up his pants, she pulled on her sweatshirt. She hugged him, "Let's go back down." On the way, she asked, "Would you take Eddie fishing? I want some time alone with Jane." After they left, Pete and Jane snuggled together on the patio, looking out across the lake. Jane sipped her wine, "It's going to be fun, having grandkids without ever having to have kids." "Kids? How many does she plan to have?" "She said she wants to have a least two." She turned and kissed him. "She said something about returning to conception rock. Where is that?" "We've been there." She nodded, "Oh, that rock." She stood up. Let's go." Jack and Jill went up the hill, and they both had a quarter. Jill came back with fifty cents. They didn't go for water.

Do you know of any hard cock I can make use of?” When he was hard, she got on her knees.  Pete got behind her and easily entered her. She was making sounds of pleasure and then whispered, "Do me in the ass, please?" There was nothing Pete wanted more. He got the lube from the bedside table and prepared her. He was pleased to see she'd recovered from Eddie taking her ass, twice (at least). Even so, she was still tight and knowing he was larger than Eddie, he went slow, stopping at intervals. But she wanted more, kept pushing, demanding, until he was slamming into her harder and deeper, with his finger reached around to rub her clit, until blast-off, he shot again and again, deep inside her. It was enough for her and she began shaking. He held on to her as he softened and slipped out. He lay down and she lay half on top of him, her leg across his thigh, her shaved mound pressing his hip. They slept, until he awoke her while licking her bald cunt. She erupted in a loud ecstasy. They made love twice more before morning. When he woke, the bed was empty. He dressed and went down for coffee. After breakfast, Pete brought in his lap top and plugged in the camera's chip and a memory stick. After about 5 minutes he said; "Okay, Eddie, Watch me." At the camera chip, he opened the files and transferred them to the memory stick. He checked to make sure they were on the memory stick and returned to the chip, and erased it. He ejected the memory stick and handed it to Eddie. "Now you have the only copy of the album. You may use it as you wish." "Thanks. I appreciate it." Eddie said, blushing a bit. "It's great to watch after making love. “ Pete counseled. “It'll help you recover & get back in the game" Becky laughed, "Oh, I'm looking forward to that." Visiting The Rock After they finished packing the bags in the car, Becky said, "Before we leave, I want to hike up the hill and take in the lake view one more time." Jane shook her head, "Go ahead. After last night, I'm sore." She winked to Eddie. Pete offered, "I'll go with you." "Yeah, you go, Becky  I'll stay here and make sure we packed everything," offered Eddie. As they started up the hill, Becky took Pete's hand. "This has been a great weekend. I've never enjoyed sex so much." "Enjoyed?" She laughed, "Never had so many orgasms. Probably as many as I've had in the last year." They reached the rock where they could look down at the house, the pier and the lake. The rock was a little high and he had to lift her up. Becky sat down on the rock and Pete stood next to it "Do you bring Jane up here?" "Sure." "Have you made love to her here?" He smiled, "Many times." "Is that why you have a tent in your shorts, remembering?" She reached over and rubbed his shorts. "No, I was remembering making love to you all night, and imagining what it would be like here." He pulled her to the edge next to him and they kissed. He lifted her sweatshirt and tossed it on the rock behind them. She removed her bra and got up off the rock. She reached down and unfastened her shorts and pushed them down. She turned, spread the sweatshirt on the rock and bent forward, face down with her legs dangling over the side of the rock. Pete admired her creamy cheeks as he lowered his shorts. He spread her cheeks and ran his erection up and down her crease, rubbing her from clit to her ass hole. "Do it, damn it." The rock was just the right height. She was wet, and from the night before, she was loose. He grabbed her hips and easily pushed into her. He began slowly stroking in and out. She was crying and whispering encouragement until. "Oh. Oh. Faster. Faster." He quickened his strokes and she began slamming back against him She froze, "Yes. Yes. Yes." But Pete didn't stop. He kept pumping, rubbing his thumb across her other hole as she came down. "Yes, do it." He pushed his thumb in and was surprised it was still greasy from last night. After only a few strokes, she was shaking again. As she recovered from that, "Now do it, for real." "What?" "Fuck me back there." "You want me in your ass?" "Yes, damn it. Fuck my ass." He withdrew from her warmth and placed the tip at her hole. "Yes. Yes." He pushed in. "Oh, damn you're big. Go slow." In, out a little, in a little more until he was buried deep inside her. Her hands were holding her cheeks apart so he could go deeper. She clinched hard as her orgasm hit.  He plowed into her again and again but accidently slipped out. Her ass was too tight from the orgasm and he was so close to his own climax. He could contain himself no longer. He slipped deep into her cunt and began shooting deep inside her and it was enough to set her off again. He kept pumping, finally slipping out. He stepped back, pulled up his pants and then pulled her off the rock and into his arms. They kissed as his hand toyed with her nipples. He whispered, "I'm glad you came." She kissed him and smiled. "Many times." She put on her shorts and put on her bra and sweatshirt. They embraced and kissed. Becky pulled away, "Oh, look. Eddie and Jane are on the patio." They watched as Eddie and Jane kissed, then Jane dropped to her knees and took out Eddie's penis and began sucking. Betty gasped, "Do you think they know we can see them?" Pete nodded his head. "Oh, they know. They're doing it for our benefit. They want us to know that we should make the most of this last moment." They watched Jane stand, push down her shorts and bend over a patio chair as Eddie entered her from behind. Pete stood behind Becky, her body pressed tight as the two below made love. Pete ran his hand under Becky's sweatshirt and caressed her breasts. Becky had never seen her man with another woman. The reality of this swap meet was now visually confirmed. She asked; "Doesn't it bother you to see my Eddie doing your Jane?" Pete took a breath, "Yes, but I accept it if it's the price for getting to make love to you." She turned and they kissed. "Do you think he's doing her ass?" "From here, we can't tell, but it doesn't make any difference,”Eddie asked. “ They're both enjoying it." Are you okay with our new situations? “ I trust you and Jane. Otherwise, no, I'd never be doing any of this” Becky said. “And Eddie & I would not have benefitted from all you and Jane have openly shared with us, making my relationship with Eddie so much deeper. Does that make sense? “Eddie is your man, Becky. He's a good man. Jane is a good woman. You can trust us,” Pete pledged. Eddie appeared to be going faster, then went rigid. After a minute, he fell back and sat in another lounge chair. Jane came over and sat in his lap and they kissed. The show seemed to be over so Becky and Pete made their way down the hill. On the way, Pete handed Becky a memory stick. Her brow wrinkled, "What's this?" "A copy of your album." "I thought you gave it to Eddie?" "Eddie has a copy that the two of you can share. He doesn't know about this one. This is your copy. You can watch it when Eddie's away. Or show to a girl friend. Or even a boy friend." She gave him a quick kiss and they walked on. "Are there any other copies?" "Yes, Jane wanted one, but I assure you, it's safe with her. She won't share." Eddie and Jane were at the car to meet them. Becky noticed a trial running down her inner thigh, & ran in to use the bathroom before they left. There were hugs and kisses all round and then they were gone. Pete took Jane in his arms and asked her. "How much of this weekend did you plan?" She shook her head, "None. I was expecting a quiet week end of sun, fun, good food and wine. It was you that brought up the photos. That's what started it." "I kept trying to stop from showing all of them. It was you that kept egging me on." She kissed him again, smiled, "It worked, didn't it?" I always knew you took great delight in admiring Becky's buxom figure.  I just figured we could trust them and open up a bit. And surprise, they were just as open as we were!” He kissed her again, "It's always worked for us." "Let's go take a nap." But her smile indicated she had other things in mind than sleeping. Announcement Over the next few months, Pete and Jane visited Becky and Eddie in the city. When they went out, they appeared to be double dating, but Pete gave more attention to Becky, and Eddie focused on Jane. At Becky and Eddie's, Becky and Pete got the big bed. When they came to the lake, Eddie and Jane got the big bed. They even had another occasion to watch each other, though Pete did not enjoy watching Jane suck Eddie's cock, or Eddie screw Jane. But he enjoyed screwing Becky. Pete and Eddie even had a chance to watch Becky and Jane, wich ended with the two women orally servicing the men.  As he watched either of the women with Eddie, they seemed to be more reserved than they were with him. He wondered if it was that neither Jane nor Becky wanted Eddie or him to know how much they enjoyed the other's husband. He wondered how the two women made love when Eddie and he weren't watching. He certainly didn't hold back when he screwed either woman, whether they were being watched or not. It had been just over three months when Becky and Eddie sat down across the table at the lake. They were both excited. Finally Becky blurted out, "We're going to have a baby." There were congratulations all around. Pete broke out some champagne and toasted their good fortune. Jane asked, "So when are you due?" Becky looked questioningly at Eddie, then back at Jane, "Six months." "Wow, you can't tell yet." Then Jane's eyes narrowed, "Then it happened around Labor Day?" Then it hit Pete, Becky might have become pregnant when they were here. "You weren't on the pill when you were here?" "We hadn't been on the pill for a few months. We were trying to have a baby." Eddie interrupted. "Listen, you don't have to worry. We don't care. We're just glad she's pregnant. We don't expect you to be responsible. We don't even want to do a DNA." Becky grinned, "What we want is for you to be the Godparents. And the doting aunt and uncle." Jane took Becky in her arms, "We can do that. We're so happy for you." Becky looked over at Pate, "Can we take a walk up to the rock?" They left Eddie and Jane and climbed the hill. "Are you sure the hike won't hurt you?" "I'm not worried. I've done lots of things since I found out. Eddie is still making love to me and I love it." They reached the rock and Becky patted it. "I call this conception rock." "Because you get ideas?" he laughed. "No, because this is where we made a baby." "How can you be so sure? You made love to Eddie a lot of times that weekend, and you and I made love the night before. Why here?" She sighed, "A woman knows." She pulled off her sweatshirt and spread it on the rock, “ I recall every time I brought Eddie to ejaculate, that weekend. I'm pretty sure he either came in my, my mouth, or on my face.”  You came in my cunt several times. Even up on the rock, You were supposed to fill my ass, but you ended up putting a big load in my cunt. She was bra-less and Pete stared, "They've gotten even bigger," he said. She cupped them, "Yes, and they're more sensitive, so be nice." He kissed her as he caressed a breast, then bent down and kissed the other. "Oh, yes. Suck harder. Harder." She was trembling. He reached down and unfastened her shorts and pushed them down. He lifted her up so she sat facing him on the rock and spread her legs. He kissed her thighs and buried his face in her bald pussy. "Do I taste any different?" He looked up, "If anything, you're sweeter." and dove back in. He found her clit, sucked and licked. "Can you taste whether it's a girl or a boy?" He looked up, smiling, "Oh, it's a girl. And she's going to make many men and women happy in her lifetime, just like her mother." He fingered and licked her until she stiffened, then shook with an orgasm. When she recovered, she pushed him away and rolled over on to her stomach and spread her legs. He quickly dropped his pants and began running his cock up and down her crease. "Are you sure this is alright?" "If you don't fuck me right now, I'm going to bite you." He pushed in without difficulty. She was wet and though no longer as tight, she felt really great wrapped around his cock. He caressed her back, the cheeks of her ass. He ran his fingers in to her crack, but when he touched her anus, she murmured, "No, not this time. Just fuck me." He kept stroking in and out until he could no longer contain himself and blasted inside her. It was enough to push her into another orgasm. He kept pumping until he slipped out. He pulled her off the rock, embraced and kissed her. "I've never made love to a Mommy before." She pushed him back and pulled up her pants. As he pulled up his pants, she pulled on her sweatshirt. She hugged him, "Let's go back down." On the way, she asked, "Would you take Eddie fishing? I want some time alone with Jane." After they left, Pete and Jane snuggled together on the patio, looking out across the lake. Jane sipped her wine, "It's going to be fun, having grandkids without ever having to have kids." "Kids? How many does she plan to have?" "She said she wants to have a least two." She turned and kissed him. "She said something about returning to conception rock. Where is that?" "We've been there." She nodded, "Oh, that rock." She stood up. Let's go." Jack and Jill went up the hill, and they both had a quarter. Jill came back with fifty cents. They didn't go for water.

Fr. William Rock, FSSP serves as Parochial Vicar at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Nashua, New Hampshire. He was ordained in October of 2019 and serves as a regular contributor to the FSSP North America Missive Blog. In Today's Show: When looking back on the pandemic, do you think the Church would now do things differently in hindsight? Is it a sin not wanting to receive the Holy Eucharist in a Novus Ordo mass, but instead in a Latin Mass (SSPX)? In 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12, St. Paul describes the deceptions of the antichrist, and how all those who fall for the deception of the antichrist will be condemned by God. If the antichrist appears during our lifetime, how should a good Catholic recognize and resist the deception of the Antichrist, and so avoid God's condemnation? I'm having a hard time encouraging my daughter, age 8, to follow along in her missal at Mass. She has a STRONG choleric temperament and I don't want to turn her off to the faith. Any advice? How to make restitution as an adult convert Can you please speak a little about the Supreme Court Decision today that upheld the Tennessee law prohibiting gender affirming treatment on children? Is it permissible for a nun to incense the tabernacle in their monastic chapel? Is it permissible for Catholics to call a funeral a "celebration of life"? If my child's godparents are not active in the church anymore, can I ask a new couple to take over? Should we hold back tears when anxious about the future?

Welcome to this episode of the Full Stop podcast, where we're joined by our guests John and Ben to explore the joys and complexities of being a childless aunt, uncle, or godparent.

Listen for advice on boundaries, freedom, and the unique impact of chosen relationships across generations. Please note that we do cover what it's like not to be an aunt, uncle or godparent, as one of our presenters does not have this caring role.

In this episode of Roadmap to Heaven, Adam Wright reflects on the significance of Lent, emphasizing the importance of prayer and fasting as a means to unite with Christ's suffering. He shares personal insights about his upcoming brain surgery during Holy Week and encourages listeners to embrace their own crosses. Julie Lassiter joins Adam to reflect on the role of Godparents, discussing their spiritual responsibilities and the importance of fostering relationships with their Godchildren. Finally, Adam emphasizes the theme of trust in God, especially in challenging times, and encourages listeners to deepen their faith and reliance on divine guidance.   Takeaways Lent is a time for deepening our prayer and fasting. Personal suffering can lead to spiritual growth and closeness to God. Godparents play a crucial role in the spiritual lives of their Godchildren. Trusting in God is essential, especially during difficult times. Every opportunity for suffering can be a chance for growth in faith. It's important to actively participate in the spiritual lives of children. Prayer for others, especially children, is a powerful act of love. Building relationships with Godchildren strengthens community and faith. Trusting God can lead to a more fulfilling spiritual life. Each day is a new opportunity to start fresh in our faith journey.

Then we jump into your questions!CAN I DATE MY LATE HUSBAND’S FRIEND?My husband passed aways in an accident nearly 3 years ago, he was 29 and we had been together since we were 16. After years of heartache (which will live with me forever) I’m finally feeling open to the idea of dating again. I’ve recently reconnected with an old friend who was a friend of my husbands too. He has the most grounded, secure, kind energy and I have found myself having feelings for him. I have no idea where he stands on this situation and whether or not he just sees me as a friend. I want to ask him/ tell him how I’m feeling but I don’t want to get it wrong and potentially uplift our friendship. Help THEY NAMED US GODPARENTS WITHOUT ASKING US FIRSTA couple of weeks ago, my husband and I attended my cousin's baby's dedication at church. All was going well until they announced in front of all our friends and family that my husband and I were the Godparents to their child....We were shocked. There was no previous conversation surrounding this topic, and my husband and I agreed that if they asked us, we would politely decline as it's a serious role to take on as we already have 3 kids of our own (and wanted to try for another). We stood there awkwardly smiling and didn't know how to react. We were never "asked" to be their child's Godparents and were announced with the title in front of everyone with no prior discussion. Is it rude of me to have a conversation with them and explain that we thought it was unfair of them to announce that in front of our family when we were never even asked if we would take on the role, or should I say nothing and pretend like we aren't bothered by it?SHOULD I HAVE MY PARTNERS PHONE PASSCODE?I have a lot of trust issues… I’ve had a rough time with relationships and trust. I always go through my husband's phone (once a day I would say) not necessarily finding anything just “making sure”. About a month ago I asked him to change his password so I couldn’t go through his phone anymore. What do you ladies think about this; not having your partner's phone password? Do you think it will help my trust as I have to keep reminding myself he is a good guy and my past is still haunting me or do you think it’s unhealthy? I did counselling for a long time after my previous relationships but now it’s too expensive with two children. COULD MY PARTNER BE GETTING A FREE RIDE?I have been with my partner for 5 years and we are expecting our first child. I already owned a house before meeting him and have since sold it so we can buy something for our growing family. The issue is, I am the only one contributing to the deposit and it is a large sum of money from the sale. He is older and has no assets of his own. How do I navigate this so I don’t resent him for ‘getting a free ride’ to a house which I’ve worked so hard to have for myself? I can’t help but resent him for not getting his shit together earlier. For context, we had similar upbringings and occupations so there isn’t much of a salary difference between us.

His auction-house, Christie's, went on to become one of the world's leading dealers of fine art. But it took Christie many years to exploit this opportunity, which he accomplished partly by leveraging well-connected friends.

“Baptism is the sacrament of faith.” The Catechism explains to us who can baptize as well as why we need Baptism for eternal life. It also explains to us what happens when people die without the opportunity for Baptism. Fr. Mike addresses our “what about” questions concerning Baptism. Most especially, Fr. Mike addresses the destination of those who will never have the opportunity to hear the Gospel or be baptized. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1253-1261. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

In this episode, I have the absolute honor of welcoming legendary relationship experts Harville Hendrix & Helen LaKelly Hunt. I had to pinch myself when I met them – it was a full circle moment for me. I found Harville and Helen's work at a time in my life when I was deeply confused about relationships. I didn't know why I was so good at talking about everything but my feelings. I didn't know why I chose the people I chose or was the way I was. Harville and Helen's work and their book gave me context to my personal relational patterns and a framework for relating better. In this episode, Harville and Helen discuss the transformative power of dialogue in relationships and the importance of curiosity and open-mindedness. We explore the complexities of emotional healing and self-awareness in relationships, the concept of unconscious attraction in romantic partnerships, and how childhood needs and experiences shape adult behaviors and relationships. Tune in for a profound conversation that will surely impact the way you relate in your life moving forward. Harville Hendrix Ph.D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt Ph.D. are co-creators of Imago Relationship Therapy and a social movement called Safe Conversations. Internationally respected as couple's therapists, educators, speakers, activists, and New York Times bestselling authors, their 10 books, including the timeless classic, Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples, have sold more than 4 million copies. Harville appeared on the Oprah Winfrey television program 17 times! Helen was installed in the Women's Hall of Fame and the Smithsonian Institute.
