Epic hockey, followed by even stronger passions. (nonhuman)By keyan88. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.“Hi, I'm Luke” For the first time in years he had no idea what to say. His tongue was tied up in knots.Diana giggled, “Hi Luke, I'm Diana.”Luke didn't know what to do; he was hesitant to let this feeling in his chest grow, for fear of rejection. But he was helpless; he could only go along for the ride.Without giving himself time to think, Luke gathered Diana in his arms and kissed her. The kiss wasn't one of lust, but instead it was a question. A question asking if she felt the same thing he did. The shy Diana quickly froze up as his lips touched hers. But she gathered her confidence and began to return it. The feeling exploded inside both of them as their tongues danced.Lilith cleared her throat next to them. They broke the kiss and looked at each other, each panting heavily. They looked up to see the entire section staring at them. Diana blushed and buried her face into Luke's shoulder. Luke guided her to some empty seats and they sat down and began chattering away animatedly.Even Lilith was surprised and their sudden romance but smiled all the same. She then turned to introduce Freya. She made quite an entrance and everyone wasn't sure whether they should be afraid of her commanding presence or not. But after cracking a few jokes and some socializing, Freya was soon accepted into the group as well. Delighted at their success, Eric's girls leaned back and smiled.Pregame Locker Room,After the pre-game speech by the coach, Eric's team sat in silence. Their earlier happiness was smothered by the realization they still were versing one of the preseason polls said was among the top college teams in the country. Eric stood up,“Fuck this, guys! Stand up!” the team just stared at him. Unhindered Eric continued,“What the fuck is wrong with you guys? Stand up! Make some noise! Let those fuckers know we are not afraid. If we go out there like this, make no mistake, we will get our asses kicked.”“Fuck them, let's do this,” The powerful voice of Dmitri made its way through the locker room. “Bring it in.”The team followed Dmitri's example and they formed a huddle in the center of the room. “I got better shit to do than worry about what might happen. Right now I know what will happen, we are going to go out there and play a hockey game. We will show them that we are no push-overs; we will give them a run for their money. And if we end up losing, I will be happy knowing that I left every single fucking thing I had on the ice. No, let's fucking do this!” Dmitri roared as the rest of the team joined in.They hurried out the locker room door thru the tunnel that led to the ice. When the announcer introduced the team, they charged onto the ice. The other team was already on the ice and had begun their warm-ups. Eric looked over and saw the two new additions to the group. He saw the Nordic goddess and immediately realized what his girls had done. He called Dmitri over and pointed her out,“Do something good, she looks to be about your size.”Dmitri didn't say anything in return, he just stared at Freya for a few seconds before returning to his warm-up.Meanwhile in the stands, Lilith was pointing out Dmitri to Freya. She eyed his massive form like a piece of meat for a few minutes. Afterward, Freya turned to the succubus with a hint of lust in her eyes, and said, “Good.”Lilith just smiled and turned to the group, “I have to go do something.”She walked towards the other side of the ice. She looked at the other team and spotted Brett. She caught his attention and he came sauntering over.“Couldn't resist me, aye?” Brett boistered.Lilith scoffed, “Eric said you're a worthless piece of shit and have a dick the size of a pencil. I don't think you could take him in a fight, on or off the ice. And I disagree about your dick, I think the size of a needle is more like it.”Angered by her comments, Brett replied, “Worthless cunt, I'm going to put him on his ass, fuck him up, and then; one of your group is going home with me,” He skated away after finishing his sentence.After returning to her seat, Kaysie looked at her and asked, “What did you say to the fuck?”“Nothing really, Just getting him angry. Eric is going to fuck him up,” Lilith responded with her eyes fixed on the ice.Kaysie just smiled, "He better, or I'm going to do it myself.”After the warm-up, the team lined up for the faceoff. Dmitri and Eric were on defense and they had the first line out. Brett played center on the first line of the opposing team, and he had his two cronies on the wings. It quickly became apparent to the Brett's team that the club team was not going to be a push over. Even though Brett had won the faceoff, one of the wingers had slipped around his man and rushed the defense.The winger managed a poke check and recovered the puck for a quick shot on goal. The goalie blocked it, but the rest of the fore-check was right there. After 4 more quick shots, the other team managed to break the puck out. One of Brett's line mates tried to beat Eric wide but Eric was expecting it and smashed him into the boards. Brett swung in and grabbed the loose puck but was stopped dead in his tracks by the 300+ pounds of Russian muscle that was Dmitri. Brett found himself flying backwards before unceremoniously landing on his ass.Dmitri hardly even slowed after crushing Brett, and rushed the puck forward. One of the defensemen on the other team foolishly got in the charging Russian's path, and found himself on his ass as well. Dmitri ripped a slap shot from the blue line and it dinged against the cross bar down into the net. The team and a minority of the spectators erupted into cheers.Lilith looked over at Freya and saw fire in the Nordic goddess's eyes as she stared hard at Dmitri.Christy leaned in from the row of seats behind her and poked her friend in the side; “Oh, I think Freya's in love, girls.”Freya turned to the jovial cat-women, “What a man! God I would fuck him so,” Her voice trailed off as Dmitri skated up to the glass. He pointed straight at Freya and they stared at one another. A silent challenge passed between the two of them. They broke their stare and Dmitri skated back to his bench.Bella turned towards Freya and said, "I think that's a challenge.”Freya replied calmly, “He has no idea what I'm capable of.”Even with the early goal, Eric's team still had a hell of a fight ahead of them. Brett's team was still a D1 team, and the third-ranked in the country at that. With his new benefits, Eric was on fire, making play after play, and hit after hit. But even with his efforts, with 6 minutes left in the first period the other team managed to tie up the score.At 4 minutes left they managed to score again. Eric's team was now trailing 2-1. With 4 seconds left in the period Eric saw a lane and he rushed the puck. He toe-dragged past the opposing team's defensemen and one of the wingers on his team managed to keep up with Eric. The final defensemen stepped towards Eric, but before he could connect Eric passed the puck to the open man. He dodged the hit and got to the net in time for his winger to one-touch the puck back to him for a one-timer. The puck sailed past the goalie just as the buzzer went off.The stadium erupted into cheer; it seems that the crowd was starting to like the underdogs. After extracting himself from his team mates, Eric skated over to the girl's. He gave them a salute and skated toward the door that led to the locker rooms for the ice cut. He looked over and saw Brett fuming from across the ice. Eric waved to him and Brett returned it with ‘the finger'.Eric took it in stride and blew a kiss toward his girls; they all caught on to what he was doing and were eager to annoy Brett as well. They blew kisses back, then Bella felt the need to flip Brett off as well. When Brett saw that he blew a fuse. With a roar he smashed his stick against the boards, shattering the stick. Everyone got a good kick out of it and wandered off to do one thing or another during this intermission.The second period went much the same as the first. Each team scored a goal and tensions were running high. After the final intermission, the teams lined up for the third period. The ref dropped the puck and the period began. Eric's center won the puck back to him but he lost it in his feet.Without hesitation Brett charged him at full speed. Eric quickly passed the puck to Dmitri who passed it to the winger. Instead of backing away or dodging the hit, Eric crouched low and hit Brett in that position.“Fuck!” Brett screamed as he took the blow in his groin, and was flipped head over heels over Eric's back. He landed for the umpteenth time on his ass that game.Eric's team fought hard, locking the tie in until 2 minutes left. One of Eric's wingers managed to gain some tie in the corner. Seeing his chance Eric called for the puck. The winger passed it and Eric looked up. He had the goalie completely by surprise. The net was wide open. It would be very simple to put the puck in the net at this point.Looking around, he saw Chris, who was basically the worst kid on the team. He wasn't bad; he just wasn't up to par with the rest. Coach had promised to get everyone on the ice as long as they deserved it, and Chris was the hardest worker on the team, without a doubt.He was wide open; Eric could take the shot with a sure-fire chance for a goal, or hope that Chris managed to get the puck in the net. Eric knew what he had to do.He fired the puck towards Chris. Chris managed to get his stick on the puck and deflect it towards the net. It bounced off the post into the net.Silence filled the ice for a few seconds before Dmitri's roar of victory was heard. The team tackled Chris. The people who were rooting for the underdogs were going crazy. The ones that weren't, were either silent or muttering profanities.There was a minute and a half left in the game. Pressure was high, if Eric's team won, this it would be the first time in the 20 years that this crosstown exhibition game has been played. The ref dropped the puck and the last few minutes of the game began. Brett's team pulled the goalie, which was added a problem because their power play was the best in the country.Try as they might, Eric's team could not get the puck out of the zone. They dove in front of shots in order to stop them. Eventually the clock was running down and Brett's team was making mistakes in the desperation. Eric managed to clear the puck the full length of the ice with 10 seconds left. Everyone knew it was over. Eric's team poured from the bench as the final buzzer sounded. They threw their gloves, sticks, and helmets in the air and created a massive dog pile on the goalie at center ice.Eric's group and friends were cheering as loud as they possibly could. Even the normally reserved Diana was yelling her lungs out. A furious Brett slammed his stick into the boards again, breaking his second stick of the night before grudgingly lining up for the post-game handshake.When Eric passed Brett in the line Brett gave him a death stare. Eric returned it with a wink. Brett stormed off the ice in a huff. When Eric's team got into the locker room there was more celebrating and cheering. In the chaos, Chris managed to pull Eric off to the side and asked, “I know you had that shot, why did you pass to me?”Eric just smiled, “I knew you could do it, and besides, sometimes it just takes a leap of faith.”Eventually Eric managed to get changed, and head back to the lobby. When he arrived there, he saw a site that made his blood run cold, and heart beat hot.A little while earlier, a conflict was rising. It started with carryover fans cheering. It developed like this..“Wu Who!” an extremely ecstatic Christy exclaimed once again.“Calm down Christy, we're not in the stands anymore,” The more sensible Stacy quickly added."Oh, don't be such a spoil-sport, Stacy!” An equally happy Lilith exclaimed while jumping up and down, this caused more than a few stray glances towards her bouncing chest.“You're causing a few boys to go through puberty early with that display Lilith,” Bella said calmly.Luke and Diana came walking up to the group. Luke spoke up, "I'm taking Diana back to my place. I'll see you guys later.”Lilith, still being a tease, had to add, “I expect screams coming from her tonight, Luke. Don't disappoint me.”His confidence showing, Luke just said, “Don't worry about that.”Diana blushed and waved goodbye as Luke led her out the door.“Where is that man, he shouldn't keep me waiting like this,” Freya said in an angry voice."Calm down Freya, he doesn't even know your name yet. He'll come around to you,” Lilith said to the fuming goddess."You better come around to me, whore,” Brett said icily from behind them.The group slowly turned around to face Brett and his two ever present cronies."Shove off; we don't want to talk to you,” Christy said, the happy cheer gone from her voice."Shut up, bitch! I'm not talking to you,” He harshly said to Christy. Turning back to Lilith he added, "I told you one of your group was coming home with me, and it's going to be you,”“Where the fuck did you get so confident, dickhead! You're just upset that you got your ass handed to you left and right for the past 2 hours!” Kaysie added from the sidelines.Upon hearing that something snapped inside of Brett. Over the course of one night his reputation and ego had been shattered, his fragile hold on his temper quickly broke down. He turned and screamed at Stacy, “Shut the fuck up, you whore bitch!”Christy immediately went to slap him in defense of her friend but he caught her hand, “Oh, you want to play rough, don't you, I don't mind.”It was this scene that Eric had come out to. Seeing his girls in trouble had triggered every protective instinct that Eric had. He dropped his gear and sprinted full speed. With all his momentum behind him, he smashed his fist into Brett's unsuspecting face. The blow sent him hurdling to the ground. Everyone in the lobby froze, waiting for the scene to unfold. Eric turned to Christy,“Oh shit! Are you all right? I should have gotten out here sooner, I…”Christy cut him off by holding a finger to his lips, “Hush, I'm ok, and you'll just have to make it up to me later,” She finished with sexy glint in her golden eyes. Her eyes opened wide as she saw Brett had somehow managed to hoist himself back to his feet. He started his punch and cried out,"You little fuck! You're Dead.,” He was cut off mid-word by Bella planting her fist in his face. Even in her human form she was far stronger than anyone should be, and when she got angry her punches put professional boxers to shame.Without losing any momentum to Brett's face, her fist continued through the air without slowing. Brett was instantly knocked unconscious and sent crashing to the ground. The crowd erupted in laughter when they saw the growing wet spot at his crotch. His two cronies moved to attack Eric, but got themselves a surprise of their own.Dmitri's fist flew through the air, taking down both of them in one punch. They looked just as helpless as Brett did. Before Dmitri could say anything, Freya stepped right up to him. They matched their stare from earlier for a few seconds before they attacked each other in an absolutely brutal kiss. A kiss like that would have broken weaker men and women, but neither were exactly normal at all.They broke the kiss and Dimitri glared at her, “I'm Dmitri.”“Freya,” she retorted.Without another word Dmitri led the Nordic goddess out the door. The group was left in one state of shock or another, then Christy burst out laughing,“Haha! Oh my god. That is so perfect!!” the rest of the group shook their heads, quietly watching the scene.Eric watched Chris off to the side and wondered what he was doing. Chris noticed Eric's gaze and looked at him. Eric mouthed to him silently, “Sometimes it just takes a leap of faith.” Chris walked up to one of Stacy's friends and after a few words they walked out the door together.Bella saw the exchange and turned to Eric, “Sheesh is everyone getting laid tonight?”Stacy laughed and added, “My friends are going to owe me so much! But you guys totally ruined sex for me. Nothing will ever touch that, ever.”Sliding in from the side Lilith playfully pinched her cheek, “Don't worry; you are coming home with us tonight.”Eric looked at her questioningly, but she gave him a stare that said, “If you argue, you are dead!”, so he let the matter rest. After a few words with Rick and Mary, he led his 4 girls back to his apartment.Luke led Diana into his apartment. He couldn't describe the feeling he got when he looked at her, but it was not the same as Anna. This was something special. They sat on the couch and stared into each other's eyes.Eventually Diana broke the stare. Luke saw tears escaping from her eyes.“Diana what's wrong?” His worry was painted onto the words.“I have to tell you something; but if I do, you'll just run away. I'll be crushed.”“You can tell me anything, I promise I won't leave you.”Diana sighed and stood up, “This is going to sound absolutely insane. I'm not exactly; well, Human.”Luke cocked his head, “I'm sorry, what.”Louder this time Diana replied, “I'm not human. I'm a monster girl. A doppelganger.”Luke was silent for a long time, “Wow, I really have no idea how to respond to that.”“I'm sorry for lying Luke, I never felt like this before and I'd die if you turned away.”She was silenced by Luke suddenly pulling her back down to the couch and crushing her lips in a fierce kiss. When they broke it, she looked at him and he smiled,“Well if someone told me I'd fall in love with an alien yesterday I'd call them insane. But now that I'm in that situation, I can only consider myself to be lucky.”She buried her face in his chest, softly letting her tears of joy flow. Luke spoke up first,“So a doppelganger, was it? That means you can shift to any form you want right?”Leaning back up from his shoulder, Diana replied, “Well I am a girl so I can only change into girls.”“That might be fun in the future,” Luke said with a wink. And then a sudden realization came to him,"So, Eric's girls?”“Yea, they're monster girls too. Bella's an echidna lamia, Lilith's a succubus, and Christy is a cat-girl.”“Jesus Christ, wonder how he found them.”“I'll tell you that story later, but now I have to tell you something. If there is going to be a future for us, I have to show you my true form.”“True form?”“It's, well, the actual me, you'll be the first person to know what I look like.”Luke just smiled, “I get luckier and luckier don't I?”Diana smiled and stood up. It's hard to describe what happened next. First her clothes seemed to melt into her body. Then her body began to flow, almost like water. It retracted in some areas and built up in others. Her legs became longer, long to the point it was a sin. Her ass became tighter, firmer, and incredibly erotic. Her breasts grew from B-cups to C-cups, and were capped with quarter sized brownish nipples that begged to be sucked. Her lips changed from a pink color to a blood red, her eyes went from brown to a deep violet, and her hair turned the same color as her eyes. Her face went from cute to graceful; the smooth lines seemed to belong in an artist's masterpiece, in fact her entire body was like that. Her braid lengthened to the back of her knees, it looked like something out of an anime but, on her it looked incredible. Her skin changed from white to a flawless, deep tan.Luke was shocked into silence at the major transformation. When he didn't say anything for a long time, Diana buried her face in her hands; great sobs racked her body.“I shouldn't have done this; I'm ugly in this form, now you hate me!” She managed to choke out in between sobs. Luke quickly stood up and embraced her; she buried her face in his shoulder,“I'm sorry; I'll just go,” She said while trying to push Luke off of her.Luke held her firm and stated, "If you leave this apartment, I will drag you back here kicking and screaming,” He turned her chin up in order to stare into those violet eyes before continuing,"And you honestly look much better like this.”Her smile was full of relief, “Now you just like me for my body, don't you?”Returning her jest, Luke firmly grabbed her ass, “And a hell of a body it is,” He crushed his lips to hers in a heated kiss. She moaned into his mouth as he kneaded her ass. She broke the kiss,"You have too much clothes on, fix that. I'll see you in the bedroom,” When she finished her sentence she made her way into his bedroom. Her swaying hips caused her ass to jiggle sexily, which made Luke not act on her command until she vanished from sight. He hastily stripped down revealing his muscular build. His 8 inch cock was already hard and ready for the night's activities.He walked into his bedroom and saw Diana posing for him. She was on her side and her right arm was on its elbow holding her head up. Her long violet braid was pulled over her shoulder, fed through the middle of her breasts down, to be pulled through her legs, covering her sex. Her left hand was idly stroking a length of her braid. Her shyness from before was gone, all that was left was this sex goddess in front of him.She stood up and locked her lips to his in another heated kiss. Without breaking it she pulled him onto the bed. He ended up on top of her with her breasts flattened against his chest. The kiss was long and lusty but eventually broke. They maintained eye contact as Luke slowly slid down her body. A small moan escaped Diana's lips as Luke's warm breath spread over her inflamed pussy.Luke looked down happily at Diana's pussy; it had a thin landing strip the same color as her hair. He slowly extended his tongue and gently licked from the bottom of her sex to the top, stopping just shy of her clit. He continued this for some time and his teasing licks were driving Diana insane. She tried grinding her hips upwards in order to capture more of his tongue but he firmly held her down. He was determined to show her every ounce of skill he had acquired over the course of his many lovers.As her pussy began to grow wetter Luke realized something, it was the sweetest pussy he had ever eaten out. It wasn't a sugary taste, it was something different. Luke realized he could easily become addicted to it. He began attacking Diana's pussy in earnest now; resulting in a chorus of moans from Diana. He used his hands to spread her lips before plunging his tongue into her depths. He tickled her clit with his nose while lapping up her essence from within.He had her squirming on the bed and moaning his name in seconds. She locked those legs around his head; Luke didn't fight as she pulled his tongue deeper. Luke smiled to himself as he kept hearing those breathy moans of hers that he had immediately come to adore. Her orgasm came crashing through body like a hurricane. Luke found himself locked into his position at her pussy as her legs wound around his head. He assaulted her clit with every intention of this orgasm destroying her being."Oh fuck, Luke!” She screamed as her juices squirted onto Luke's happily lapping tongue. Luke smiled. Throughout his many partners he had come across a few squirters, but none with the quantity or intensity that Diana showed.Riding the aftershocks of the immense orgasm, Diana saw a soaked, but immeasurably happy Luke, peak up from between her legs. He smiled at her,“Well, that's something I'm going to have to see a lot of,” She pulled him up to her face so she could give him another kiss. Afterwards she eagerly licked up her juices from his face. They moaned simultaneously as Diana guided Luke to her entrance. Luke leaned back on his heels and was treated to a sight he would never forget. Diana's skin was flushed with excitement and a light sheen of sweat made her body appear to shine. Her perfect nipples were rock hard and her firm bust had them pointing skyward. He met her eyes and unsurprisingly he found lust filling them. As he looked closer he saw something else swirling in those violet depths. It was something he had never truly seen with Anna, because in those eyes was love. Blinking away tears Luke bent back down and kissed Diana with everything he felt in his heart. Love blossomed in him as their tongues danced.Diana's breath was stolen as soon as Luke's lips touched hers. No one had ever kissed her like this. She felt the emotions pouring through their bonded lips. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him as close to her as she could. They broke the kiss and stared at each other. Diana wrapped those sinful legs around his waist and pulled slightly, her message was clear. The ‘Disney' part of the night was over, now it is the X-rated part.Luke's flared head entered her tight lips with a soft pop. They stared into each other's eyes as he entered her. It was the tightest pussy that Luke had ever fucked before; it fit like it was made for his cock. For Diana nothing had ever fit so right, for the first time in her life she felt complete, and by the gods she felt full. Luke finally bottomed out in her with a soft groan. No words were needed between the two of them as they began.Luke slowly rocked his hips, effortlessly sliding his cock in and out of his lover. They crushed their lips back together. There was tenderness or small passion in this kiss; it was love in its most animalistic form. Their tongues didn't dance they battled, chasing and attacking one-another from one mouth to the next. Luke's hips responded to the increase in passion. He began sawing back and forth, grinding his lovers clit on every stroke.The slap of flesh hitting flesh filled the room. Moans began to escape from Diana's lips as Luke's hips crashed into hers. A sudden orgasm reared its head and Diana covered Luke's cock in her cum. If Luke registered her orgasm he didn't show it, he continued the same relentless pace.Diana wrapped her arms and legs around Luke and rolled him onto his back, keeping him firmly inside her the whole time. When he was on his back she gave him a wink and turned around so her ass was facing his head, the movement caused an extremely pleased groan to emanate from Luke. She leaned forward so her hands were an either side of his shins and began to raise and lower her ass slowly. The change from a rough tempo to this slow one caused no loss in pleasure, if anything the site of his hard rod slowly appearing and reappearing form in-between her tight ass cheeks, and even tighter pussy.Luke smiled,"This is a hell of a view babe. I'm going to have to take a picture or something of it sometime.”His comment didn't register on Diana as she was too busy concentrating on the feeling of Luke's cock splitting her before making its way out and repeating the process, over, and over, and over again. The soon pace although adequate for Luke, was quickly becoming too slow for Diana. Over the course of a few minute she increased her speed to surpass what Eric's was before they switched places.Her hips lewdly humped up and down on Luke's hard rod. The sounds and smell of sex permeated the air. Luke grabbed hold of Diana's ass and kneaded the soft flesh. Loud moans of ecstasy came from Diana as she fucked herself on Luke. She felt an orgasm forming in her depths. She moved faster than Luke would ever think as possible in order to reach it.Luke leaned back and put his hands behind his head as he watched the spectacle that was Diana's ass. She moved so fast her ass was a blur. Luke wouldn't be surprised if he found out the laws of physics were broken in his bedroom that night. Her orgasm came crashing into her like a tsunami. Her entire being froze in place for a few seconds, than her very being shattered into thousands of shards of pleasure. She screamed her release into worlds unknown and her juices poured from her slit to soak Luke and the bed beneath him.She collapsed forward, utterly exhausted. But Luke wasn't done yet, and his control would not go to waste. He leaned forward and pulled her back so his chest was to her back; his cock was still firmly embedded in her cunt. She mumbled something that sounded like a mix of asking him to stop and continue and the same time. It didn't really matter what she said though, Luke was going to have his turn. He leaned down and nibbled on his lovers ear lobe before whispering in it,“Oh you think we're done? Oh we are nowhere near done.”Diana's eyes opened wide as she felt Luke begin to thrust his cock into her. Luke grabbed her sinful legs and pulled them behind her head. He smiled to himself at her flexibility; this was going to be a fun fling with her. No, not fling he corrected himself, fun life with her.He increased the power of his thrusts, leaving Diana helpless but to increase the volume of her moans. She turned her head and kissed him passionately, there was no doubt of the fact that they found love but her next words confirmed it.She said staring into Luke's eyes and in-between thrusts, “Promise me Luke, promise me you'll never leave me.”Without slowing his hammering rhythm Luke replied vehemently, “never, you're mine. No one will ever change that.”His response immediately sent Diana into the most powerful orgasm of her life. Her cum flowed from her cunt like a river as pleasure overwhelmed her brain. Her shriek of ecstasy must have made the dead turn in their graves. This time Luke followed her into orgasm. Cum raced up his cock to find its home in Diana's welcoming cunt. The feel of Luke's cum covering her innermost depths sent Diana immediately into a second orgasm on top of the first.The two lovers froze in this position for a few minutes as their brains processed the pleasure. After they managed to come down from the orgasmic high they softly pressed their lips together, letting their love flow through the kiss. They smiled at each other and Diana spoke,“Best fuck ever, but please make love to me now,” Luke nodded and replied,"We have all night to do everything,” And they proceeded to do everything over the rest of the night. They lost count of orgasms they had but it never really mattered to begin with. And for the first time in years, Luke would be glad to have someone wake up in his bed with him.Dmitri led Freya into his apartment. He set his bag down and turned to the Nordic beauty behind him. He looked her up and down, she was flawless and for once in his life it seemed he didn't have to worry about breaking a girl that was in bed with him. She looked him over as well; she was delighted that her friends had picked out such a perfect match for her. She smiled to herself; it was going to be a hell of a night.Dmitri spoke up, "I have to go take a shower, you can wait here or do whatever you want.”Freya nodded and sat down on a chair, “I'll be waiting.”Dmitri headed towards the bathroom and stripped out of his clothes. He turned on the shower and stepped inside. After shampooing his hair and washing his body he prepared to step out of the shower, but he felt a movement behind him. He heard the door slide open and felt Freya step into the shower behind him.He didn't show a reaction as she pressed her massive chest to his back and reached around to fondle his flaccid cock. To her delight she discovered it was proportional to the rest of him.“Actually I couldn't wait, I hope you don't mind,” Freya said with barely veiled lust in her voice."Good, I was wondering when you would come in here,” Dmitri spoke in a matter of fact tone.Under her ministrations Dmitri's cock was quickly rising to its full strength. Freya began to idly stroke up and down his cock, all the while rubbing her tits up and down his back. She reached her other hand around and began to masterfully play with his balls."There are going to be some rules for this relationship Dmitri,” Freya spoke."Name your terms.”“First of all this cock is mine, if you ever give it to someone else, I will kill you. The only exception to that rule is if i might decide to share it with a friend of mine, you will not be killed. Next I am my own women, I am something entirely different from any other girl you have met and expect to be treated as such.”Dmitri turned his head and stared into the goddesses blue eyes, “Deal”.He turned around and once again they began a battle of the tongues. Unlike their friends, their tongues did not dance nor tango, they battled for control over the other person's mouth. Dmitri grasped hold of Freya's shapely ass and moaned into her mouth. He was not being gentle with his caressing and Freya loved it. She felt his massive member pressed in-between them and couldn't wait to have it inside her.To be continued.By keyan88 for LiteroticaMay 20th, 2022 11:01pm story audio podcast tryst explicit intimacy lurid coupling virgin cuck swap marriage fling tale shor

Epic hockey, followed by even stronger passions. (nonhuman)By keyan88. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.“Hi, I'm Luke” For the first time in years he had no idea what to say. His tongue was tied up in knots.Diana giggled, “Hi Luke, I'm Diana.”Luke didn't know what to do; he was hesitant to let this feeling in his chest grow, for fear of rejection. But he was helpless; he could only go along for the ride.Without giving himself time to think, Luke gathered Diana in his arms and kissed her. The kiss wasn't one of lust, but instead it was a question. A question asking if she felt the same thing he did. The shy Diana quickly froze up as his lips touched hers. But she gathered her confidence and began to return it. The feeling exploded inside both of them as their tongues danced.Lilith cleared her throat next to them. They broke the kiss and looked at each other, each panting heavily. They looked up to see the entire section staring at them. Diana blushed and buried her face into Luke's shoulder. Luke guided her to some empty seats and they sat down and began chattering away animatedly.Even Lilith was surprised and their sudden romance but smiled all the same. She then turned to introduce Freya. She made quite an entrance and everyone wasn't sure whether they should be afraid of her commanding presence or not. But after cracking a few jokes and some socializing, Freya was soon accepted into the group as well. Delighted at their success, Eric's girls leaned back and smiled.Pregame Locker Room,After the pre-game speech by the coach, Eric's team sat in silence. Their earlier happiness was smothered by the realization they still were versing one of the preseason polls said was among the top college teams in the country. Eric stood up,“Fuck this, guys! Stand up!” the team just stared at him. Unhindered Eric continued,“What the fuck is wrong with you guys? Stand up! Make some noise! Let those fuckers know we are not afraid. If we go out there like this, make no mistake, we will get our asses kicked.”“Fuck them, let's do this,” The powerful voice of Dmitri made its way through the locker room. “Bring it in.”The team followed Dmitri's example and they formed a huddle in the center of the room. “I got better shit to do than worry about what might happen. Right now I know what will happen, we are going to go out there and play a hockey game. We will show them that we are no push-overs; we will give them a run for their money. And if we end up losing, I will be happy knowing that I left every single fucking thing I had on the ice. No, let's fucking do this!” Dmitri roared as the rest of the team joined in.They hurried out the locker room door thru the tunnel that led to the ice. When the announcer introduced the team, they charged onto the ice. The other team was already on the ice and had begun their warm-ups. Eric looked over and saw the two new additions to the group. He saw the Nordic goddess and immediately realized what his girls had done. He called Dmitri over and pointed her out,“Do something good, she looks to be about your size.”Dmitri didn't say anything in return, he just stared at Freya for a few seconds before returning to his warm-up.Meanwhile in the stands, Lilith was pointing out Dmitri to Freya. She eyed his massive form like a piece of meat for a few minutes. Afterward, Freya turned to the succubus with a hint of lust in her eyes, and said, “Good.”Lilith just smiled and turned to the group, “I have to go do something.”She walked towards the other side of the ice. She looked at the other team and spotted Brett. She caught his attention and he came sauntering over.“Couldn't resist me, aye?” Brett boistered.Lilith scoffed, “Eric said you're a worthless piece of shit and have a dick the size of a pencil. I don't think you could take him in a fight, on or off the ice. And I disagree about your dick, I think the size of a needle is more like it.”Angered by her comments, Brett replied, “Worthless cunt, I'm going to put him on his ass, fuck him up, and then; one of your group is going home with me,” He skated away after finishing his sentence.After returning to her seat, Kaysie looked at her and asked, “What did you say to the fuck?”“Nothing really, Just getting him angry. Eric is going to fuck him up,” Lilith responded with her eyes fixed on the ice.Kaysie just smiled, "He better, or I'm going to do it myself.”After the warm-up, the team lined up for the faceoff. Dmitri and Eric were on defense and they had the first line out. Brett played center on the first line of the opposing team, and he had his two cronies on the wings. It quickly became apparent to the Brett's team that the club team was not going to be a push over. Even though Brett had won the faceoff, one of the wingers had slipped around his man and rushed the defense.The winger managed a poke check and recovered the puck for a quick shot on goal. The goalie blocked it, but the rest of the fore-check was right there. After 4 more quick shots, the other team managed to break the puck out. One of Brett's line mates tried to beat Eric wide but Eric was expecting it and smashed him into the boards. Brett swung in and grabbed the loose puck but was stopped dead in his tracks by the 300+ pounds of Russian muscle that was Dmitri. Brett found himself flying backwards before unceremoniously landing on his ass.Dmitri hardly even slowed after crushing Brett, and rushed the puck forward. One of the defensemen on the other team foolishly got in the charging Russian's path, and found himself on his ass as well. Dmitri ripped a slap shot from the blue line and it dinged against the cross bar down into the net. The team and a minority of the spectators erupted into cheers.Lilith looked over at Freya and saw fire in the Nordic goddess's eyes as she stared hard at Dmitri.Christy leaned in from the row of seats behind her and poked her friend in the side; “Oh, I think Freya's in love, girls.”Freya turned to the jovial cat-women, “What a man! God I would fuck him so,” Her voice trailed off as Dmitri skated up to the glass. He pointed straight at Freya and they stared at one another. A silent challenge passed between the two of them. They broke their stare and Dmitri skated back to his bench.Bella turned towards Freya and said, "I think that's a challenge.”Freya replied calmly, “He has no idea what I'm capable of.”Even with the early goal, Eric's team still had a hell of a fight ahead of them. Brett's team was still a D1 team, and the third-ranked in the country at that. With his new benefits, Eric was on fire, making play after play, and hit after hit. But even with his efforts, with 6 minutes left in the first period the other team managed to tie up the score.At 4 minutes left they managed to score again. Eric's team was now trailing 2-1. With 4 seconds left in the period Eric saw a lane and he rushed the puck. He toe-dragged past the opposing team's defensemen and one of the wingers on his team managed to keep up with Eric. The final defensemen stepped towards Eric, but before he could connect Eric passed the puck to the open man. He dodged the hit and got to the net in time for his winger to one-touch the puck back to him for a one-timer. The puck sailed past the goalie just as the buzzer went off.The stadium erupted into cheer; it seems that the crowd was starting to like the underdogs. After extracting himself from his team mates, Eric skated over to the girl's. He gave them a salute and skated toward the door that led to the locker rooms for the ice cut. He looked over and saw Brett fuming from across the ice. Eric waved to him and Brett returned it with ‘the finger'.Eric took it in stride and blew a kiss toward his girls; they all caught on to what he was doing and were eager to annoy Brett as well. They blew kisses back, then Bella felt the need to flip Brett off as well. When Brett saw that he blew a fuse. With a roar he smashed his stick against the boards, shattering the stick. Everyone got a good kick out of it and wandered off to do one thing or another during this intermission.The second period went much the same as the first. Each team scored a goal and tensions were running high. After the final intermission, the teams lined up for the third period. The ref dropped the puck and the period began. Eric's center won the puck back to him but he lost it in his feet.Without hesitation Brett charged him at full speed. Eric quickly passed the puck to Dmitri who passed it to the winger. Instead of backing away or dodging the hit, Eric crouched low and hit Brett in that position.“Fuck!” Brett screamed as he took the blow in his groin, and was flipped head over heels over Eric's back. He landed for the umpteenth time on his ass that game.Eric's team fought hard, locking the tie in until 2 minutes left. One of Eric's wingers managed to gain some tie in the corner. Seeing his chance Eric called for the puck. The winger passed it and Eric looked up. He had the goalie completely by surprise. The net was wide open. It would be very simple to put the puck in the net at this point.Looking around, he saw Chris, who was basically the worst kid on the team. He wasn't bad; he just wasn't up to par with the rest. Coach had promised to get everyone on the ice as long as they deserved it, and Chris was the hardest worker on the team, without a doubt.He was wide open; Eric could take the shot with a sure-fire chance for a goal, or hope that Chris managed to get the puck in the net. Eric knew what he had to do.He fired the puck towards Chris. Chris managed to get his stick on the puck and deflect it towards the net. It bounced off the post into the net.Silence filled the ice for a few seconds before Dmitri's roar of victory was heard. The team tackled Chris. The people who were rooting for the underdogs were going crazy. The ones that weren't, were either silent or muttering profanities.There was a minute and a half left in the game. Pressure was high, if Eric's team won, this it would be the first time in the 20 years that this crosstown exhibition game has been played. The ref dropped the puck and the last few minutes of the game began. Brett's team pulled the goalie, which was added a problem because their power play was the best in the country.Try as they might, Eric's team could not get the puck out of the zone. They dove in front of shots in order to stop them. Eventually the clock was running down and Brett's team was making mistakes in the desperation. Eric managed to clear the puck the full length of the ice with 10 seconds left. Everyone knew it was over. Eric's team poured from the bench as the final buzzer sounded. They threw their gloves, sticks, and helmets in the air and created a massive dog pile on the goalie at center ice.Eric's group and friends were cheering as loud as they possibly could. Even the normally reserved Diana was yelling her lungs out. A furious Brett slammed his stick into the boards again, breaking his second stick of the night before grudgingly lining up for the post-game handshake.When Eric passed Brett in the line Brett gave him a death stare. Eric returned it with a wink. Brett stormed off the ice in a huff. When Eric's team got into the locker room there was more celebrating and cheering. In the chaos, Chris managed to pull Eric off to the side and asked, “I know you had that shot, why did you pass to me?”Eric just smiled, “I knew you could do it, and besides, sometimes it just takes a leap of faith.”Eventually Eric managed to get changed, and head back to the lobby. When he arrived there, he saw a site that made his blood run cold, and heart beat hot.A little while earlier, a conflict was rising. It started with carryover fans cheering. It developed like this..“Wu Who!” an extremely ecstatic Christy exclaimed once again.“Calm down Christy, we're not in the stands anymore,” The more sensible Stacy quickly added."Oh, don't be such a spoil-sport, Stacy!” An equally happy Lilith exclaimed while jumping up and down, this caused more than a few stray glances towards her bouncing chest.“You're causing a few boys to go through puberty early with that display Lilith,” Bella said calmly.Luke and Diana came walking up to the group. Luke spoke up, "I'm taking Diana back to my place. I'll see you guys later.”Lilith, still being a tease, had to add, “I expect screams coming from her tonight, Luke. Don't disappoint me.”His confidence showing, Luke just said, “Don't worry about that.”Diana blushed and waved goodbye as Luke led her out the door.“Where is that man, he shouldn't keep me waiting like this,” Freya said in an angry voice."Calm down Freya, he doesn't even know your name yet. He'll come around to you,” Lilith said to the fuming goddess."You better come around to me, whore,” Brett said icily from behind them.The group slowly turned around to face Brett and his two ever present cronies."Shove off; we don't want to talk to you,” Christy said, the happy cheer gone from her voice."Shut up, bitch! I'm not talking to you,” He harshly said to Christy. Turning back to Lilith he added, "I told you one of your group was coming home with me, and it's going to be you,”“Where the fuck did you get so confident, dickhead! You're just upset that you got your ass handed to you left and right for the past 2 hours!” Kaysie added from the sidelines.Upon hearing that something snapped inside of Brett. Over the course of one night his reputation and ego had been shattered, his fragile hold on his temper quickly broke down. He turned and screamed at Stacy, “Shut the fuck up, you whore bitch!”Christy immediately went to slap him in defense of her friend but he caught her hand, “Oh, you want to play rough, don't you, I don't mind.”It was this scene that Eric had come out to. Seeing his girls in trouble had triggered every protective instinct that Eric had. He dropped his gear and sprinted full speed. With all his momentum behind him, he smashed his fist into Brett's unsuspecting face. The blow sent him hurdling to the ground. Everyone in the lobby froze, waiting for the scene to unfold. Eric turned to Christy,“Oh shit! Are you all right? I should have gotten out here sooner, I…”Christy cut him off by holding a finger to his lips, “Hush, I'm ok, and you'll just have to make it up to me later,” She finished with sexy glint in her golden eyes. Her eyes opened wide as she saw Brett had somehow managed to hoist himself back to his feet. He started his punch and cried out,"You little fuck! You're Dead.,” He was cut off mid-word by Bella planting her fist in his face. Even in her human form she was far stronger than anyone should be, and when she got angry her punches put professional boxers to shame.Without losing any momentum to Brett's face, her fist continued through the air without slowing. Brett was instantly knocked unconscious and sent crashing to the ground. The crowd erupted in laughter when they saw the growing wet spot at his crotch. His two cronies moved to attack Eric, but got themselves a surprise of their own.Dmitri's fist flew through the air, taking down both of them in one punch. They looked just as helpless as Brett did. Before Dmitri could say anything, Freya stepped right up to him. They matched their stare from earlier for a few seconds before they attacked each other in an absolutely brutal kiss. A kiss like that would have broken weaker men and women, but neither were exactly normal at all.They broke the kiss and Dimitri glared at her, “I'm Dmitri.”“Freya,” she retorted.Without another word Dmitri led the Nordic goddess out the door. The group was left in one state of shock or another, then Christy burst out laughing,“Haha! Oh my god. That is so perfect!!” the rest of the group shook their heads, quietly watching the scene.Eric watched Chris off to the side and wondered what he was doing. Chris noticed Eric's gaze and looked at him. Eric mouthed to him silently, “Sometimes it just takes a leap of faith.” Chris walked up to one of Stacy's friends and after a few words they walked out the door together.Bella saw the exchange and turned to Eric, “Sheesh is everyone getting laid tonight?”Stacy laughed and added, “My friends are going to owe me so much! But you guys totally ruined sex for me. Nothing will ever touch that, ever.”Sliding in from the side Lilith playfully pinched her cheek, “Don't worry; you are coming home with us tonight.”Eric looked at her questioningly, but she gave him a stare that said, “If you argue, you are dead!”, so he let the matter rest. After a few words with Rick and Mary, he led his 4 girls back to his apartment.Luke led Diana into his apartment. He couldn't describe the feeling he got when he looked at her, but it was not the same as Anna. This was something special. They sat on the couch and stared into each other's eyes.Eventually Diana broke the stare. Luke saw tears escaping from her eyes.“Diana what's wrong?” His worry was painted onto the words.“I have to tell you something; but if I do, you'll just run away. I'll be crushed.”“You can tell me anything, I promise I won't leave you.”Diana sighed and stood up, “This is going to sound absolutely insane. I'm not exactly; well, Human.”Luke cocked his head, “I'm sorry, what.”Louder this time Diana replied, “I'm not human. I'm a monster girl. A doppelganger.”Luke was silent for a long time, “Wow, I really have no idea how to respond to that.”“I'm sorry for lying Luke, I never felt like this before and I'd die if you turned away.”She was silenced by Luke suddenly pulling her back down to the couch and crushing her lips in a fierce kiss. When they broke it, she looked at him and he smiled,“Well if someone told me I'd fall in love with an alien yesterday I'd call them insane. But now that I'm in that situation, I can only consider myself to be lucky.”She buried her face in his chest, softly letting her tears of joy flow. Luke spoke up first,“So a doppelganger, was it? That means you can shift to any form you want right?”Leaning back up from his shoulder, Diana replied, “Well I am a girl so I can only change into girls.”“That might be fun in the future,” Luke said with a wink. And then a sudden realization came to him,"So, Eric's girls?”“Yea, they're monster girls too. Bella's an echidna lamia, Lilith's a succubus, and Christy is a cat-girl.”“Jesus Christ, wonder how he found them.”“I'll tell you that story later, but now I have to tell you something. If there is going to be a future for us, I have to show you my true form.”“True form?”“It's, well, the actual me, you'll be the first person to know what I look like.”Luke just smiled, “I get luckier and luckier don't I?”Diana smiled and stood up. It's hard to describe what happened next. First her clothes seemed to melt into her body. Then her body began to flow, almost like water. It retracted in some areas and built up in others. Her legs became longer, long to the point it was a sin. Her ass became tighter, firmer, and incredibly erotic. Her breasts grew from B-cups to C-cups, and were capped with quarter sized brownish nipples that begged to be sucked. Her lips changed from a pink color to a blood red, her eyes went from brown to a deep violet, and her hair turned the same color as her eyes. Her face went from cute to graceful; the smooth lines seemed to belong in an artist's masterpiece, in fact her entire body was like that. Her braid lengthened to the back of her knees, it looked like something out of an anime but, on her it looked incredible. Her skin changed from white to a flawless, deep tan.Luke was shocked into silence at the major transformation. When he didn't say anything for a long time, Diana buried her face in her hands; great sobs racked her body.“I shouldn't have done this; I'm ugly in this form, now you hate me!” She managed to choke out in between sobs. Luke quickly stood up and embraced her; she buried her face in his shoulder,“I'm sorry; I'll just go,” She said while trying to push Luke off of her.Luke held her firm and stated, "If you leave this apartment, I will drag you back here kicking and screaming,” He turned her chin up in order to stare into those violet eyes before continuing,"And you honestly look much better like this.”Her smile was full of relief, “Now you just like me for my body, don't you?”Returning her jest, Luke firmly grabbed her ass, “And a hell of a body it is,” He crushed his lips to hers in a heated kiss. She moaned into his mouth as he kneaded her ass. She broke the kiss,"You have too much clothes on, fix that. I'll see you in the bedroom,” When she finished her sentence she made her way into his bedroom. Her swaying hips caused her ass to jiggle sexily, which made Luke not act on her command until she vanished from sight. He hastily stripped down revealing his muscular build. His 8 inch cock was already hard and ready for the night's activities.He walked into his bedroom and saw Diana posing for him. She was on her side and her right arm was on its elbow holding her head up. Her long violet braid was pulled over her shoulder, fed through the middle of her breasts down, to be pulled through her legs, covering her sex. Her left hand was idly stroking a length of her braid. Her shyness from before was gone, all that was left was this sex goddess in front of him.She stood up and locked her lips to his in another heated kiss. Without breaking it she pulled him onto the bed. He ended up on top of her with her breasts flattened against his chest. The kiss was long and lusty but eventually broke. They maintained eye contact as Luke slowly slid down her body. A small moan escaped Diana's lips as Luke's warm breath spread over her inflamed pussy.Luke looked down happily at Diana's pussy; it had a thin landing strip the same color as her hair. He slowly extended his tongue and gently licked from the bottom of her sex to the top, stopping just shy of her clit. He continued this for some time and his teasing licks were driving Diana insane. She tried grinding her hips upwards in order to capture more of his tongue but he firmly held her down. He was determined to show her every ounce of skill he had acquired over the course of his many lovers.As her pussy began to grow wetter Luke realized something, it was the sweetest pussy he had ever eaten out. It wasn't a sugary taste, it was something different. Luke realized he could easily become addicted to it. He began attacking Diana's pussy in earnest now; resulting in a chorus of moans from Diana. He used his hands to spread her lips before plunging his tongue into her depths. He tickled her clit with his nose while lapping up her essence from within.He had her squirming on the bed and moaning his name in seconds. She locked those legs around his head; Luke didn't fight as she pulled his tongue deeper. Luke smiled to himself as he kept hearing those breathy moans of hers that he had immediately come to adore. Her orgasm came crashing through body like a hurricane. Luke found himself locked into his position at her pussy as her legs wound around his head. He assaulted her clit with every intention of this orgasm destroying her being."Oh fuck, Luke!” She screamed as her juices squirted onto Luke's happily lapping tongue. Luke smiled. Throughout his many partners he had come across a few squirters, but none with the quantity or intensity that Diana showed.Riding the aftershocks of the immense orgasm, Diana saw a soaked, but immeasurably happy Luke, peak up from between her legs. He smiled at her,“Well, that's something I'm going to have to see a lot of,” She pulled him up to her face so she could give him another kiss. Afterwards she eagerly licked up her juices from his face. They moaned simultaneously as Diana guided Luke to her entrance. Luke leaned back on his heels and was treated to a sight he would never forget. Diana's skin was flushed with excitement and a light sheen of sweat made her body appear to shine. Her perfect nipples were rock hard and her firm bust had them pointing skyward. He met her eyes and unsurprisingly he found lust filling them. As he looked closer he saw something else swirling in those violet depths. It was something he had never truly seen with Anna, because in those eyes was love. Blinking away tears Luke bent back down and kissed Diana with everything he felt in his heart. Love blossomed in him as their tongues danced.Diana's breath was stolen as soon as Luke's lips touched hers. No one had ever kissed her like this. She felt the emotions pouring through their bonded lips. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him as close to her as she could. They broke the kiss and stared at each other. Diana wrapped those sinful legs around his waist and pulled slightly, her message was clear. The ‘Disney' part of the night was over, now it is the X-rated part.Luke's flared head entered her tight lips with a soft pop. They stared into each other's eyes as he entered her. It was the tightest pussy that Luke had ever fucked before; it fit like it was made for his cock. For Diana nothing had ever fit so right, for the first time in her life she felt complete, and by the gods she felt full. Luke finally bottomed out in her with a soft groan. No words were needed between the two of them as they began.Luke slowly rocked his hips, effortlessly sliding his cock in and out of his lover. They crushed their lips back together. There was tenderness or small passion in this kiss; it was love in its most animalistic form. Their tongues didn't dance they battled, chasing and attacking one-another from one mouth to the next. Luke's hips responded to the increase in passion. He began sawing back and forth, grinding his lovers clit on every stroke.The slap of flesh hitting flesh filled the room. Moans began to escape from Diana's lips as Luke's hips crashed into hers. A sudden orgasm reared its head and Diana covered Luke's cock in her cum. If Luke registered her orgasm he didn't show it, he continued the same relentless pace.Diana wrapped her arms and legs around Luke and rolled him onto his back, keeping him firmly inside her the whole time. When he was on his back she gave him a wink and turned around so her ass was facing his head, the movement caused an extremely pleased groan to emanate from Luke. She leaned forward so her hands were an either side of his shins and began to raise and lower her ass slowly. The change from a rough tempo to this slow one caused no loss in pleasure, if anything the site of his hard rod slowly appearing and reappearing form in-between her tight ass cheeks, and even tighter pussy.Luke smiled,"This is a hell of a view babe. I'm going to have to take a picture or something of it sometime.”His comment didn't register on Diana as she was too busy concentrating on the feeling of Luke's cock splitting her before making its way out and repeating the process, over, and over, and over again. The soon pace although adequate for Luke, was quickly becoming too slow for Diana. Over the course of a few minute she increased her speed to surpass what Eric's was before they switched places.Her hips lewdly humped up and down on Luke's hard rod. The sounds and smell of sex permeated the air. Luke grabbed hold of Diana's ass and kneaded the soft flesh. Loud moans of ecstasy came from Diana as she fucked herself on Luke. She felt an orgasm forming in her depths. She moved faster than Luke would ever think as possible in order to reach it.Luke leaned back and put his hands behind his head as he watched the spectacle that was Diana's ass. She moved so fast her ass was a blur. Luke wouldn't be surprised if he found out the laws of physics were broken in his bedroom that night. Her orgasm came crashing into her like a tsunami. Her entire being froze in place for a few seconds, than her very being shattered into thousands of shards of pleasure. She screamed her release into worlds unknown and her juices poured from her slit to soak Luke and the bed beneath him.She collapsed forward, utterly exhausted. But Luke wasn't done yet, and his control would not go to waste. He leaned forward and pulled her back so his chest was to her back; his cock was still firmly embedded in her cunt. She mumbled something that sounded like a mix of asking him to stop and continue and the same time. It didn't really matter what she said though, Luke was going to have his turn. He leaned down and nibbled on his lovers ear lobe before whispering in it,“Oh you think we're done? Oh we are nowhere near done.”Diana's eyes opened wide as she felt Luke begin to thrust his cock into her. Luke grabbed her sinful legs and pulled them behind her head. He smiled to himself at her flexibility; this was going to be a fun fling with her. No, not fling he corrected himself, fun life with her.He increased the power of his thrusts, leaving Diana helpless but to increase the volume of her moans. She turned her head and kissed him passionately, there was no doubt of the fact that they found love but her next words confirmed it.She said staring into Luke's eyes and in-between thrusts, “Promise me Luke, promise me you'll never leave me.”Without slowing his hammering rhythm Luke replied vehemently, “never, you're mine. No one will ever change that.”His response immediately sent Diana into the most powerful orgasm of her life. Her cum flowed from her cunt like a river as pleasure overwhelmed her brain. Her shriek of ecstasy must have made the dead turn in their graves. This time Luke followed her into orgasm. Cum raced up his cock to find its home in Diana's welcoming cunt. The feel of Luke's cum covering her innermost depths sent Diana immediately into a second orgasm on top of the first.The two lovers froze in this position for a few minutes as their brains processed the pleasure. After they managed to come down from the orgasmic high they softly pressed their lips together, letting their love flow through the kiss. They smiled at each other and Diana spoke,“Best fuck ever, but please make love to me now,” Luke nodded and replied,"We have all night to do everything,” And they proceeded to do everything over the rest of the night. They lost count of orgasms they had but it never really mattered to begin with. And for the first time in years, Luke would be glad to have someone wake up in his bed with him.Dmitri led Freya into his apartment. He set his bag down and turned to the Nordic beauty behind him. He looked her up and down, she was flawless and for once in his life it seemed he didn't have to worry about breaking a girl that was in bed with him. She looked him over as well; she was delighted that her friends had picked out such a perfect match for her. She smiled to herself; it was going to be a hell of a night.Dmitri spoke up, "I have to go take a shower, you can wait here or do whatever you want.”Freya nodded and sat down on a chair, “I'll be waiting.”Dmitri headed towards the bathroom and stripped out of his clothes. He turned on the shower and stepped inside. After shampooing his hair and washing his body he prepared to step out of the shower, but he felt a movement behind him. He heard the door slide open and felt Freya step into the shower behind him.He didn't show a reaction as she pressed her massive chest to his back and reached around to fondle his flaccid cock. To her delight she discovered it was proportional to the rest of him.“Actually I couldn't wait, I hope you don't mind,” Freya said with barely veiled lust in her voice."Good, I was wondering when you would come in here,” Dmitri spoke in a matter of fact tone.Under her ministrations Dmitri's cock was quickly rising to its full strength. Freya began to idly stroke up and down his cock, all the while rubbing her tits up and down his back. She reached her other hand around and began to masterfully play with his balls."There are going to be some rules for this relationship Dmitri,” Freya spoke."Name your terms.”“First of all this cock is mine, if you ever give it to someone else, I will kill you. The only exception to that rule is if i might decide to share it with a friend of mine, you will not be killed. Next I am my own women, I am something entirely different from any other girl you have met and expect to be treated as such.”Dmitri turned his head and stared into the goddesses blue eyes, “Deal”.He turned around and once again they began a battle of the tongues. Unlike their friends, their tongues did not dance nor tango, they battled for control over the other person's mouth. Dmitri grasped hold of Freya's shapely ass and moaned into her mouth. He was not being gentle with his caressing and Freya loved it. She felt his massive member pressed in-between them and couldn't wait to have it inside her.To be continued.By keyan88 for LiteroticaMay 20th, 2022 11:01pm story audio podcast tryst explicit intimacy lurid coupling virgin cuck swap marriage fling tale shor

7 Steps to Building a Smart Business Engine With Luke Fatooros We've all been in a spot in our business where we're trying to work out how to get from A to B or how to get to the next level. But what is the next level? How many levels are there? Luke Fatooros from Ideas Into Business shares with us the 7 steps to building a smart business engine to give you time, money, and freedom. Learn more on how to build a smart business engine at dorksdelivered.com.au Luke's Business Journey Why are there seven steps? What are the steps to building a smart business engine to give you the time, money, and freedom? Luke: Let me start with my $12 million mistake or failure. It's something that I don't recommend, but this was my first step into business. My first business was a store that my father and I shared with $800. We thought we were going to conquer the world, and the first 14 months were a living hell. We didn't know what we were doing. We had all the ambition and enthusiasm, and that was really what got us through the first 14 months. When we eventually learned a few things, such as how to distinguish myself from the competition, my first joint venture took off. After all that pain, it eventually became a $12 million, 65-staff business after five years. I was winning awards like Entrepreneur of the Year, Microsoft top companies, the Westpac finance. And then I lost everything. My partner had to go to the staff and tell them we had to close this business. What came out of that were life-changing lessons. There are three critical lessons I want to share with you, and this was how the seven steps were formulated. 1. Understand Cash Flow Luke: I had to learn how money works and how money flows. The first lesson was to stop trading time for money—I didn't know what that meant. I had to move from a limited earning structure to an unlimited earning structure. When I lost that business, I learned the difference between being self-employed and being a business owner, and I understood creating wealth in business. I realised that my business was worth nothing because it was strapped to me. We become burnt out when trying to build a business the wrong way. It took me 7 years to recover. 2. Work on Your Internal Structure Luke: By contrast, when I built my second business, a distribution business, I had three factories in China, the Philippines, and Korea, and I'm supplying five countries from a desk. That gives you a lot of flexibility with the way you can travel. You're not tied to a location, which is something that's becoming very important with our current times. Luke: If someone saw me with my notebook at my home office, they would think it's a joke, a hobby. But that business was valued at $3.5 million up to 3 years. It's not how fancy a business looks on the outside. It's how structured internally. When I was 12 years old, I was given the opportunity to make these number plate brackets. It sounds like such a boring product, but I was getting $6 a bracket. I was able to make one in 1.5 hours. I sped up my processes. By the time I was 13, I was making 10 number plate brackets an hour, so I was then making $60 an hour relatively. I went on to employ people, but the lesson that I learned was people are lazy. Don't tie things to money, and don't tie things to yourself. If you have a problem or a key person in your business has a problem, how do you overcome that? How do you make sure that you aren't the key person? How was that valuable to the next person that was buying it? 3. Build a Strong Foundation Luke: This comes to this thing called sequencing. You cannot step out of the engine. You cannot hand down management or the responsibilities with regard to the foundation of your business to anyone else. If you have a vehicle that's got a broken engine, you cannot paint it green hoping that the engine would work. That is what people do in business. They change the website or invest in social media marketing and think this is going to grow the business. That has to come at a certain point. Your sequencing is wrong. 7 Steps to Building a Smart Business Engine to Give You Time, Money, and Freedom 1. Optimise Your Mindset Luke: People have this business idea, but people focus on marketing strategies, negotiation, sales, systems, processes, etc. But there's a thing called you. We all have our own personal brands. People don't buy your products and services. They buy you. They buy the image that you are projecting. Every one of us projects a particular image that we think we need the world to see. Relay that to buying a Samsung phone or an iPhone. The image was around the inspiration and message that Steve Jobs had. Who's the owner of Samsung? Luke: Exactly. No one knows who arrived second on the moon. Every one of us has self-sabotaging patterns and limiting beliefs. We might think we're marvellous, but the truth is we're actually not. You want to be the best version you can be of yourself and your business. How do your customers want to perceive you? You have to pay attention to that. When I started my first business, we went from $1 million to $12 million in 5 years. That incredible growth, the prestige and recognition, and so much money coming to my life as a kid made me think I was invincible. It didn't do any good because even though I sort of earned the success, I didn't know how to handle it. I didn't have mental maturity. My ego was running my show—a self-sabotaging pattern. It doesn't matter how fancy you get into your marketing sales strategy. If you have this self-sabotaging pattern, your business is just never going to make it. What I've learned over the years is the people who resist openness, self-development, and willingness to learn are the ones who desperately need this help the most. That's the self-sabotaging trait. That is a disaster in business. Optimise your mindset. The six inches between the ears is the most important six inches to measure on your body. 2. Optimise Your Niche Luke: There are lucrative niches, and the money is naturally flowing into those lucrative niches. The common mistake is when we have meat; we try to sell it to vegetarians. It doesn't matter how fancy your meat is; a vegetarian is just not going to buy your meat. That's not a lucrative niche for your product. My philosophy is to just follow the cash. What you want to do is you want to find customers who buy from you the quickest and the easiest. Out of 100 customers, there will be some of them who will buy from you instantly—they love you and your brand. I call these your real customers. I think this is where a lot of marketing companies get things wrong. They all say that this is your ideal customer, but that doesn't mean those people are actually going to buy from you. When you've been in a business, or you've been trading, and you look back at your history, you see that there's a group that just hands you cash. Shift your focus toward your real customers, not your ideal customers. I analysed why we struggled for 14 months with my first business. My business partner, Gary, was an engineer, so we thought we could do computer programming. We're going to write software to help businesses become efficient and more profitable. We thought this was just marvelous, so we took my $800 and launched the business. No one bought anything, and we couldn't understand this. We kept trying stuff, but the customers didn't want our stuff. Instead, they're looking for computer hardware. We quickly decided that we would give them what they were looking for. We got rid of the software, and we opened a little shop in the back of some shopping centre. No one went there. We started putting the computers where people could see them. We still had a lot to learn, but we started to see a little bit of light. If you are struggling in business, find where the money is flowing. Listen to your customers, what they are looking to buy, instead of ramming your product down their throat. Shift and sift to what the market really wants. My first business really took off because we've shifted and sifted out of selling computer software, which was a dead niche. You can't keep flogging a dead horse, right? You have to be smart enough to move across. How do you make sure you're not emotionally attached to that dead horse? Luke: If you are absolutely in love with your idea, that's a self-sabotaging trait, and you need help with that. My help was a hammer on my head, and now I'm very aware of self-development and problems in my own business caused by my own self-destructive traits. The people who ultimately fail are those who will not let go of their idea. That's ego, and that is a terrible self-sabotaging pattern. Did you fix that through reflection or having other people come in? Luke: Yes. I went through seven years of massive self-reflection and actually understanding that you need to get help in your life. I was not mature enough. I didn't have the structure to be successful in business, even though I was very good at business strategies. I've done a lot of self-work over the years, and the biggest thing is getting rid of the ego. That's not easy for most people. But if you can do that, you're on your way. Is there a certain size of the market that you need to start doing that? If you've been in business for a little while, say you've got a B2B business with 100 clients or a B2C business with 10,000 clients, how do you work out the numbers? Luke: If you've got a bit of history in your business, you can take the time to analyse your database and then categorise them into A, B, and C clients. Who are the people who are just paying you and not giving you problems? Who are the people who won't just buy from you, no matter what you do, it's just never enough? And then who are the ones who buy from you after some hard work. It's not about percentages, time, staff, or size. It's the process. Analyse, and then you'll be fine. 3. Optimise Your Sales  Luke: What do your real customers want to buy from you? I've been in business since I was 23. I've done probably every sales course under the sun, and I've never seen anything that's told me the two secrets that I believe you need to have to achieve success in sales. The first one is don't sell. That's a big one that I've had a lot of trouble grasping. I've realised you shouldn't be doing the sales courses. You are already the best salesperson if you're passionate about your product. Luke: I agree. What you hear is the secrets of closing—how do you trick people into this or influence people? Looping, straight-line persuasion, that sort of stuff. Luke: When someone is buying for you, what is that one thing they are subconsciously looking for? When they walk in, they scan you for one thing before they even want to hear your pitch about your product. It's trust. If I don't trust you, I don't care how fancy your Ferrari or whatever your thing is, I'm not going to buy from you. I'm going to try and find someone else who I feel comfortable with to give my money to. I've never heard a sales course ever tell me that. They all try to show how to influence, trick, close, overcome objections, etc. to get the money in the bank. I genuinely don't believe in that. Even if you do that sort of tactics, will they be long-term clients? Are they going to be happy at the end of the day if you use some psychological neurolinguistic programming thing? Are they going to be the type of client that's going to be a raving fan and going to be sitting in your A-grade pile? Probably not. It's better to build that rapport and relationship and to make sure that you can know, like, and trust the person. Luke: There are two ways that you can build trust to influence sales in the right way. The first one is your personal branding; the second is your hook product. Its purpose is to let your customers experience your value with the least amount of risk. And resistance.  Luke: For example, there are two pie ladies in the supermarket. One lady has a stand with flyers, and the other lady has a stand with a little microwave and pies. The first lady is handing out brochures, telling everyone how marvellous her pies are. The other lady bakes, and she has samples in the oven. People could smell their aroma. She puts some on a tray, cuts it up, and invites people over. The second lady is actually letting her customers try and experience. That's what you call a little hook, and there's no risk. They love it. The other lady is telling everyone how marvellous her pies are, but there's no experience. There's nothing going on there. And that's the two different ways people sell in the world. One of the things I found was my competition was garages. This was the early 1990s, so they sold computers in converted homes. It wasn't a mainstream retail thing. Customers would go in and then speak with some dude behind the counter who is unbelievably knowledgeable on computers, but the customers don't know what he's talking about—ROMs, processors, etc.—so it freaked them out. That's not a good customer experience, which is what customers really want. What I did was I put displays up even if we didn't have a lot of customers then. We had to prove our concept. We knew we were in the money, but we just didn't know how to be known yet.

When deciding to turn your side-hustle into a legitimate business, there are so many unknown variables that can sometimes drive you away from accomplishing it. Today, WTR welcomes Luke Peters, an expert in building wealth and a successful entrepreneur. In this podcast, we will discuss how side-hustling brings about a large amount of freedom and how to transform your side-hustle into a legitimate business with value.

What we're going to be talking about today is thinking of your side hustle/business as an asset [02:22] For some people that side hustle becomes, like Luke here, legitimate business in their way of life [02:32] Can you talk a little bit more about where you came from and what inspired you to get to where you are today? [02:40] Luke: My parents had always worked hard and always taught us to work hard (I got a good work ethic from my parents) [03:10] An inspiration is that once you have a business, you kind of realize that you have more stability in a sense (you're in charge of the risk versus being an employee) [03:22] And I enjoy the freedom, I'm not someone who likes to follow a lot of rules [03:48] Everyone can be in business, you don't have to be just one type of individual [04:14] Hiring good people is the best thing now. The sooner your business is making enough money to hire good people, good people are going to drive your business [04:27] Kevin: Do you find that in today's world it's a little easier to outsource tasks (ex: Fiverr) [04:55] Luke: For sure, in today's day and age you can do that, but you have to weigh both sides of it. You don't want to outsource things that are not making us money in the beginning [05:15] You hire locally for the high-level talent (where experience makes a difference) and you outsource the tedious things you don't need to do locally [05:30] Kevin: There's also the flipside to this and that is when you're starting out your side hustle, you're doing all those tasks and a lot of people say it's good that you do them in the beginning in order to learn it first. When you understand it better, you can outsource it better [06:27] Let's talk a little bit more about why would our listeners want to change their mindset of thinking about what they're doing as a side hustle into a legitimate business? [06:40] Luke: Let's first back up and look at employment. The days of people staying with the company their whole working lives is past us now and it is a very competitive world [08:01] When you work for someone else, first of all you need to be motivated (flexibility to make their own decisions) [09:23] Is there free time and are we spending it wisely? And if not, that's the time people can spend on their side hustle [09:36] Kevin: You mentioned spending time with your family. Once you change your mindset of taking your side hustle into a legitimate business, can this (entrepreneurship) benefit your family? [09:46] Luke: I think so because when you think about it, yes, it does take you away from family time, but you can still be very active in your family's lives all while doing this side hustle [10:18] Really disciplined time spent (a couple hours a day) is enough time to start a side hustle [11:46] I think it's really...

But I wanted to let you know that they are available, and you can check out everything in the show notes which I just said but I don't mind repeating. That's Theatrefolk.com/episode203. We're talking about a specific curriculum-based process that teachers in my home turf of Ontario, Canada, use, but it's the kind of thing that we're sharing. We're talking about the creative process and the critical analysis process – each of which come with handy dandy graphs which, again, you can find in the show notes – unless you're driving a car. Please do not download the graphs when driving. What is it? Don't download? No download graphs. Do not download graphs while driving. No download while driving. Got it? Got it. We did this conversation first as a Facebook Live and now it's here for you. Sit back, relax, and I'll see you on the other side. LINDSAY: All right, everybody! Hello! Thank you for joining me! Today, I am talking to Luke Bramer. Hello, Luke! LUKE: Hello! How's it going? LINDSAY: Ah, it's going very well! We've recently moved, so we have nothing. It might be a little echo-y, but I think we'll survive. We'll survive. Luke, please tell everybody where in the world you are right now. LUKE: Sure. I am from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I work at Glendale Secondary School as part of the Hamilton-Wentworth District Schoolboard's Audition-Based Program of the Arts. LINDSAY: Oh, Hamilton! In my head, you were in Toronto, but you're actually even closer! LUKE: Yes. LINDSAY: That's pretty awesome! Okay. How long have you been a teacher? LUKE: I've been a teacher for eight years. LINDSAY: And why are you a drama teacher? What was it that drew you to this path? LUKE: For sure. I went to the University of Windsor and took Drama and Education and got really excited about that but loved the theatre portions of it. And so, I did a lot of stage managing while I was there, and I feel like my drama class is now like a show every single day – you know, lots of things to manage. But I got into a program at Glendale specifically and they have a specialized program there, so I got to do a lot more of the theatre and education which is what I really enjoyed doing. LINDSAY: Ah, tell me why! Let's get into why drama and education. I have friends to went to the performance side of Windsor. What was in specifically about teaching that really drew you? LUKE: I've always enjoyed the performance aspects, but actually getting students excited about stuff and actually getting to see them onstage taking over was really terrific. Being at Glendale,

In today's climate of spiritual trends, meditation has become one of the hottest. And of course, right? I mean, after all, one of the most axiomatic principles ever uttered by a human is ‘know thyself,' right? And what better way to get to know yourself, but to spend some time alone in silence. But how long would it take to benefit from the practice of quiet introspection? How long could you be silent? How many hours per day could you enjoy (or tolerate) a sitting meditation? How about ten or twenty days without talking to a single soul, spending hour after hour just sitting there doing NOTHING. To some, this prospect sounds like heaven and of course, to others who are less acquainted with their inner selves, this idea might seem utterly terrifying. Our guest Diego Perez (AKA Yung Pueblo) is a veteran of many an inner journey and provides us with a fascinating play by play report on precisely what happens on a Vipassana silent meditation retreat. From this episode, you'll gain a deep understanding of not only the specific protocol of the various meditation retreats but also of the fundamentals of Buddhism, and how to apply the simple yet profoundly powerful principles of the lineage to your everyday life. After all, it's not only what happens on your meditation cushion that matters, but more so how you're able to integrate this ancient wisdom and cause ripples of positive energy to wash over your every moment and to everyone you might encounter on your earthbound journey. Listen, as Yung Pueblo drops knowledge bombs of immense power onto your consciousness, then take a moment to transmit that peace to someone you love by sharing this extraordinary episode with them.

Would you like to be able to hit your flow state on demand? Can you imagine having command over your mental focus, creativity, memory, and even your emotions? What a different world it would be if we humans held the power optimize our consciousness, and as a result, our psychological relationship to each other, and to the planet we all inhabit. Our guest Daniel Schmachtenberger has dedicated his life to figuring out simple solutions to complex problems. The world is a complicated place. Health and happiness tend to elude many of us, due to how overwhelming it can be to figure it all out. Most of us have a desire to make a positive contribution to the world and to derive meaning from our lives, but often don’t know where to start. But to effect positive change globally, we each need a method by which to improve ourselves on a micro level, before branching out to make the monumental changes we likely need to thrive, or perhaps even survive, as a species. Daniel believes that more significant societal issues will more easily be solved using a broad, systemic approach. The catch is that we as individuals have to get our biology and mindset in order first. His mission is gaining momentum through Neurohacker Collective, an organization dedicated to discovering the most cutting-edge technologies for human performance. Their flagship product, Qualia, has taken the nootropic and smart drug world by storm and has quickly emerged as one of the most widely respected, highly studied brain supplements on the market. (Just about every episode of The Life Stylist Podcast recorded in the past year has been done so under the influence of this remarkable product.) In this mind-blowing episode, we learn not only why Daniel and his team created Qualia, exactly how and why it works so well, but also what Neurohacker Collective has in store for the future. Trust me when I say, this is not a future- or episode- you will want to miss. As you listen to this powerfully inspiring conversation with Daniel, think of one person you know who is interested in enhancing their mental and emotional intelligence, and overall quality of life, then share this show with them via text, email, or social media.

This unique 'Bootleg Broadcast' episode of the show is a live recording of a recent talk I gave in West Hollywood California, to celebrate my 100th episode of The Life Stylist Podcast. Having devoted the past twenty-plus years of my life to spiritual growth and metaphysical understanding, it seems that the next phase of my journey is naturally guiding me down the path of sharing my experiences with live audiences, as an inspirational (albeit reluctant) teacher of sorts. This raw, unedited live recording is my second-ever public talk, witch attempts to tackle the sometimes challenging topics of god, ego, and spiritual liberation.  After receiving such an abundance of positive feedback on my recent debut presentation at Cap Beauty in NYC, and constant requests for more spiritually-based content, I've decided to put this show out as an exercise of courage and vulnerability. If there's one thing I've learned in my first year as a podcast host, it's that people want the truth. They want something real. And the paradox of that fact is that the more open I become about my spiritual life, the more people relate to it and derive hope and inspiration from my experience on the path to enlightenment. But why should we care about the spiritual part of life anyway? What's the point? Ask yourself the following questions, and you may arrive at a place of curiosity, if not a legitimate desire to know more. Are you able to find peace in your pain? Can you reach and maintain a level of surrender in your life to the point that you rarely get rattled by the day to day stresses of the human experience? Do you control your mind, or does it control you? These are but a few of the questions I attempt to tackle in this introspective episode. Although this particular lecture is highly spontaneous and meandering, there are a couple of consistent themes, such as: How to escape the pain of the ego mind by walking through the inevitable pain in life The importance of strictly avoiding negative, thoughts, deeds and actions The  immense power of self-love and acceptance How and why I started the podcast, and how it has served my personal development and evolution I hope that this talk and ones like it which are likely to follow can provide a light-hearted and accessible approach to living a spiritually-centered life. The beautiful thing about finding salvation is that we are each free to do it in our way, and are open to choose whichever path best suits our current level of development and understanding. May you find god in whatever form gives your life meaning and fulfillment.

Do you like yourself? If so how much? Can you go so far as to say that you genuinely love and accept yourself? Do you have the level of success on the material plane that you feel you deserve or are you continually struggling to measure up to your self-imposed expectations, only to fall short repeatedly? Have you ever contemplated the degree to which the results you achieve from your daily efforts in life are directly and exclusively dictated by your subconscious opinions of yourself? Did you know that it’s possible to change your relationship to yourself, and create one that truly honors who your are, in your most authentic expression? Our guest Lacy Phillips is going to show you exactly how your past trauma led to your current shame, and how and why you might just be your own worst enemy in the struggle to create a life of meaning and fulfillment. She's spent years examining and overcoming her personal limiting beliefs and teaching others to do the same. Lacy provides us with a roadmap by which to dismantle the hidden walls which keep us in predictable, repetitive patterns of playing small and not living up to our highest potential. In this episode, you'll get the recipe to Lacy's secret sauce of success, and learn not only how to identify exactly what thoughts and habits are holding you back, but also how to use the power of manifestation to create the life you were indeed born to live. There is a life of pure freedom and abundance available to us all, as long as we're courageous enough to walk through the shadows to discover it. So get out your flashlight, and get ready to start doing some deep explorations into the recesses of your consciousness, as we exit the matrix of falsehood and enter the great reality of your innate potential. Please take a moment to share this episode with one friend who could use some support and encouragement in their life.

Are you interested in spirituality, yoga, and new age philosophy, but are concerned that you'll lose your edge, end up living a sexless, monastic life in a cave? Or perhaps you have avoided exploring the metaphysical side of life because you think that everyone in that scene is a flakey woo-woo nut job? In this episode, I sit down with Desiree Pais, one of NYC's favorite Kundalini yoga teachers and thought leaders on the local scene. And guess what? She lives a conscious, spiritually-centered life but still creates great art, loves boys, Instagram, fashion, rap music, and (almost) ever other earthly pleasure just like the rest of us ordinary folk. We talked about so many random, yet fascinating topics that I struggle to write an adequate description of this episode. In the interest of simplicity, I'll tease some of the general territories we covered: Enjoying material success and possessions without letting them possess you, overcoming your ego by doing embarrassing shit, curing acne with Chinese medicine, how being a raw vegan almost killed her, why cockroaches are a superfood in some Taoist traditions, the power of mantras, and how to get over feeling awkward when you sing them. The overall takeaway from this raw and intimate talk with Desiree is that you can live a healthy, spiritual life in the big city, yet have fun, thrive, and continue to pursue your enlightenment at the same time. Desiree proves that you can fully immerse yourself in the spirit world while keeping your two designer-clad feet firmly planted on the ground. As long as you keep a sense of humor about it all, you can help other seekers on the path do the same along the way. Please pass this episode along to someone you know who could use a little spiritual boost, but needs that boost powered by down-to-earth realness. To your path, Luke For more about this Episode.

Have you or someone close to you ever been diagnosed with depression or some other mental disorder? Was psychiatric intervention sought out as a means by which to overcome it? Did talk therapy alone work, or did your doctor recommend further treatment in the form of a pharmaceutical solution? If you went on meds, were you told you might need them for the rest of your life? And if you did, in fact, take the medication, was it effective? When you decided it was time to stop taking it, did you experience side effects? I sure did. I've been down this road before, and it's one I would certainly like to avoid taking again. That's why I tracked down this episode's guest, Dr. Kelly Brogan. I wanted to find out what the hell what 'depression' and 'anxiety' actually are, and to discover which lifestyle, dietary, and spiritual solutions might not only be more efficient, but also much safer than the Big Pharma merry go round. Kelly Brogan is one of the nations leading psychiatrists and has helped thousands of patients find natural, practical solutions to depression and other mental and emotional issues through her private practice, and well as in her wildly popular online programs. You will be shocked to find out some of the shockingly limited success rates of traditional, allopathic treatment modalities, and crude (and often inaccurate) methods of diagnosis. But more than anything, what you will gain from this episode is a deeper understanding of the human condition, including our deep-seeded need for human connection, love, and a spiritual orientation to our life experience. It turns out that many of us who have been misdiagnosed and over-medicated are not in fact 'broken' and in need of medical intervention, but rather we are stuck. Since we're not broken, we don’t need fixing. We just need to get unstuck. We need to learn how to orient ourselves in the world in a way that does not necessitate masking and dumbing our discomfort, but rather learning how to live and love our way through it. Listen and learn. Then pass this show along to someone you know who could use a little boost of hope. To your health, Luke For more about today's episode Listen on YouTube!

How we can use Kundalini yoga, and meditation to help with emotional and mental issues What’s the deal with the whole serotonin deficiency issue? Is it a real thing?

Can making fun of yourself (and everyone else) who's into health & wellness, spirituality, and yoga get you to enlightenment? Today’s guest, JP Sears, thinks you can. Base on this interview, he might just be there already himself. But who is JP Sears anyway? You’ll most likely know him for his hilarious, and consistently viral videos on health, various diets, biohacking, and for being 'ultra-spiritual.' In this interview, we discover how JP uses satire and humor as a trojan horse by which to infiltrate the minds and spirits of his viewers, in order to usher in a deeper, more meaningful understanding of life. Self-awareness is a powerful tool by which we can objectively see ourselves as we really are. But how well can we accurately do that? We people are creatures of habit, and often need another set of eyes to reflect reality back to us. JP Sears and his message are that reflection. You'll walk away from this episode with some very powerful spiritual practices that you can start using right away. One of JP's top recommendations is to stop taking ourselves so seriously, and to learn how to stay more connected to the people you love. This is not only a funny and lighthearted show, but it also issues a challenge to each listener: To be willing to honestly and humbly explore their own humanity, and have copious amounts of fun with that process along the way. Do you know one person who loves to poke fun at their own silly habits and personality traits? Of course you do! Please to us all a favor and share this interview with them. Thanks for tuning into the show. We’re creeping up on 1 Million downloads, largely thanks to thoughtful people like you sharing with friends and family. Please continue to do so. It really helps! Luke For more about today's episode Listen on YouTube! Topics Discussed on today's Episode: The sillyness of biohacking practices, and how his videos make fun of everything i do on a daily basis How to recognize approval seeking in your life and on social media, and how to break the habit We examine the massive amount of energy we typically waste on the hyper vigilance of seeking approval Where does the desperate need to be liked come from? We discuss the fact that the more you try to get people to like you, the more they are repelled by you Learning how to overcome shame and own your weirdness How to be truly authentic and find your real identity and personality Where being healthy ends and being obsessive compulsive begins, and how to find a balance How health practices are often used as a distraction from doing the more important inner personal growth work Why spiritual biohacks like human connection, gratitude and love work better than all of the technology-based practices we all use to feel good The power of self-awareness and surrendering to the discomforts of life The new era of transparent advertising and marketing Walking the fine line between effective marketing and being creepy and manipulative Who JP used his humor to stay humble, and help others to awaken Using satire to break attachments to dogmatic views and positionalites The social disease of political correctness, and how he is able to get away with doing comedy in our current emotionally sensitive culture How intention and context determine what our words and our humor mean, and how we choose wether or not our feelings get hurt by others How JP practices prayer and spirituality in his daily life Lifestyle recommendations   MY 90-DAY LIFESTYLE DESIGN COACHING PROGRAM Your opportunity to work with me one-on-one.

What do Indian Hatha yoga, Taoist principles, Chinese medicine, and sacred geometry have in common? They all make up the core of this insanely transformative style of yoga known as Katonah. And our guest in this paradigm- bending episode has been teaching and practicing this esoteric form of yoga in New York for twenty-five years. If you've practiced this style of yoga, you already get it. Just click play and listen to Abbie break it all down. If you've not yet experienced this form (or any form for that matter) of yoga, then keep reading about my recent personal experience that led to the recording of this episode. I discovered Katonah Yoga and Abbie Galvin on a recent podcast tour of New York City, at the recommendation of a Life Stylist listener that I happened to meet at a sound bath at The Woom Center, a few doors down from Abbie's studio on Bowery. I signed up for my first Katonah class online that night, then dropped into The Studio the next morning- and I haven't been the same since. Having been a practitioner of various styles of yoga for twenty years, I was expecting some version of a typical yoga flow class that day. What I experienced in Abbie's class was nothing less than incredible. It became quickly evident that this class was more of an intense, small-scale workshop than another teacher-led Hatha flow. This was spiritual science in the flesh. It was physical and emotional transformation, using a seemingly mystical amalgam of various teachings all at once. Using chairs, blocks, blankets, and various other props, Abbie led me and my body through postures and poses that I would have previously thought impossible. This practice had depth, and a seemingly endless potential for expansion. I was sold. So immediately following class I bum rushed Abbie for an interview, to which she graciously agreed. In this episode, Abbie does what only a great master teacher can do: Take nonlinear, universal principles of truth, and distill them down into practical terms in a relatable, simple vernacular. This interview is an exploration into not only the art and magic of Katonah yoga, but of life itself. Its a celebration of the ancient wisdom that has no attainable destination. That’s why it’s called a practice. No matter how hard you try, you never quite arrive. And that’s the true beauty of the journey. Enjoy the ride, Luke For more about this episode Topics Discussed on today's Episode: How and when did Abbie find Katonah yoga, and what is it about? Other forms of yoga she’s practiced, and the current state of affairs in the yoga scene at large The fact that the purpose of yoga was originally intended to prepare the body for meditation Her belief that most yogic movement is not inherently natural to humans  Why she believes the concept of origami folding is more powerful than simply stretching  The importance of strengthening the nervous system to deal with the day to day stresses of life  How the patterns in the body directly mimic patterns in nature  Why Katonah yoga mixes Taoist Chinese theory and indian hatha yoga, and how that actually happened in the first place How the Taoist principles of pattern, and Yin and Yang and nature play into the Katonah practice  The role that sacred geometry plays in Katonah Why are chairs used as the various props used in this practice, and why are they so crucial to its effectiveness? What sort of physical transformations Abbie has seen in all of her years as a teacher? The science behind joint function, and how they relate to the human skeleton and structure, and how Katonah yoga makes your bones stronger How the the body’s organ systems are effected by this practice?  Why community, and teacher/student support and interaction is so crucial to the practice  How Katonah yoga uses various props to create scaffolding to retrain the body’s structure throughout the postures The purpose of yogic breathwork, and its effect on the body How to live your life as a yoga practice, rather than leaving it on the mat, and why she believes yoga is not exercise  How does Katonah yoga effect people’s sexuality?

Have you ever thought about why your favorite music makes you feel so elated, while jackhammers on the street outside probably have the opposite effect? Did you know that sound vibration can not only change your consciousness, but that it can also heal your mind and body? It sounds like a bunch of woo woo nonsense right? Well, it turns out that there is a lot of empirical and anecdotal evidence to support this theory. There is also a massively exploding interest in sound therapy in the current yoga and meditation scene. Sound baths or sound 'experiences' are becoming ever more popular these days at retreats and workshops the world over. Our guest Nate Martinez is a multi-faceted musician, who has not only made a living playing secular music with legends like The Grateful Dead's Bob Wier, but has also become a popular fixture on the New York new age circuit as a sound therapy practitioner. Using a wide array of rare and strange musical instruments, bells, rattles, whistles, gongs, crystal bowls, and even his voice, Nate has become widely known for his ability to drop sound bath participants (including your faithful host) into the void of blissful stillness with his mind-blowing sound meditation sessions. In this episode, Nate talks to us about the spiritual nature of noise, and how it can be used to soothe the nervous system, and even facilitate spiritual revelations and experiences. It turns out there is a lot more to music than meets the ear, and Nate Martinez is just the guest with which to explore this fascinating area of spiritual research and development. Please do yourself, Nate, me, and a lucky friend a favor by sharing this episode with your favorite music lover.

Do you meditate? Or do you think meditation is the privilege and skill of bearded yogis nestled deep in the Himalayas? Do you say you're 'too busy' to meditate, or that it's 'too hard'? It’s true. Meditation can be hard, without the proper training and support. And if you happen to live in a city, you're in an especially tough position: The stress of urban life basically makes meditation crucial for survival (and happiness) but at the same time, the tempo of city living often makes it impossible to find the time or place to give your practice the dedication it deserves. This is exactly where our guest Ellie Burrows comes in. She is not only an avid meditator, but also lives in New York City. Through her business MNDFL, she's made it not only possible- but easy- for frenzied city dwellers to find the solace of meditation amongst the honking horns and ground-shaking trash trucks. Part of a new, conscious-minded school of entrepreneurs, Ellie has created an urban spiritual oasis, and as a result, has helped inspire a quickly growing network and community of spiritually oriented businesses in The Big Apple. In this fun, and enlightening conversation Ellie shares her personal story of spiritual discovery, the challenges of creating MNDFL, and her vision of making meditation a regular part of life for the average person who has no intention of renouncing civilization in favor of a luxury deprived, monastic existence. For the sake of humanity (and the sanity of our nations cities) please share this episode with a meditator or mindful entrepreneur you know. To your peace, Luke For more about the show Topics Discussed on today's Episode: How Ellie left a career in film to pursue her spiritual path The journey of how her business MNDFL meditation came to be, and how she learned to connect consciousness to her career The current state of affairs in New York city's spiritual community, and the positive effects meditations centers like MNDFL are having on the city The importance of re-branding spiritually centered businesses to appeal to a more broad audience How meditation drop in centers encourage user consistency, and overcoming the challenges of keeping up a meditation practice Seeing the benefits of meditation, and the consequences of losing your practice Facing the reality that being spiritually committed is anything but stardust and moonbeams; it gets uncomfortable The importance of facing your demons, and walking through the many dark nights of the soul Spiritual first-aid kit: the two most powerful tools for overcoming emotional pain Lifestyle recommendations   MY 90-DAY LIFESTYLE DESIGN COACHING PROGRAM Your opportunity to work with me one-on-one.

Are your parents still married? If so, are they happy? If not, why not, and have you carried on the tradition of failed romantic relationships into your adult life? Were mom and dad good role models? Did they teach through demonstration the delicate, yet crucial art of love and intimacy? See what I'm getting at here? I'm making the point that the vast majority of us did not have the best role models as children when it comes to highly evolved, conscious relating. And so it goes- we repeat the same negative patterns of communication and chemistry killing behavior over and over again, most of us remaining baffled as to why our relationships don't work. And even if you're one of the lucky few to which romantic relational skills come easy, is there not always room for a deeper, more vulnerable, more ecstatic expression of love and even sexuality? In our second episode with relationship wizard John Wineland, we explore every facet of romantic, sexual, and even spiritual intimacy. I mean let's face it- without the ability to truly trust your partner enough to be seen to your core, and to express your essence in all its glory, most relationships tend to fall flat and fail to bring us the full potential of human love and expression that we all crave on the deepest level. And furthermore, without deep and unconditional love, even great sex can leave us bored and unsatisfied in the end. To achieve the High Love, you know- the real deal- we need a roadmap. A plan. And we have to have cultivated the physical and emotional strength and fortitude to handle that love once we find it. We must have an understanding of, and control over our masculine and feminine energies to create and maintain the polarity of attraction. Our guest John Wineland has done little else for the past ten years other than explore these skills himself, and teach them to thousands of people all over the world. You my friend and listener now have the distinct pleasure and privilege to bask in some of that wisdom in this epic, double-episode. It's my hope that every one of us will be afforded the opportunity to apply this knowledge in our own lives and relationships, and as a result, break the cycle of failed (or shallow) love that so many of us had modeled for us by our own well-intentioned parents. It's a chance to reexamine ourselves, to experience the six pillars of sexual and spiritual intimacy, and to be able to give and receive the level of deep love we know on some level that we deserve.

Are you a good communicator? Are you aware of the subtleties in verbal tonality and word selection, as well as the power of physical cues and gestures?

Our guest this episode is Michele Paradise, a master practitioner of NLP (neuro linguistic programming), hypnosis, and a groundbreaking new therapy based on neuroscience, called Havening.

She describes how she combines these various healing methods to create a highly effective treatment protocol to assist her clients in overcoming long standing psychological problems, dissolve negative emotional triggers, and even disappear acute physical and emotional pain.

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” claimed the late Hippocrates, the Greek founder of medicine who is widely regarded as the greatest physician of his time. But what did he mean? Food is medicine? I thought it was just….well….food. As for medicine? It's that bitter stuff you get at the drugstore, that you pray works but rarely does. As the Jingslingers teach us in this episode, there are two types of medicine on the planet- nature-made medicine, and human-made medicine. Nature-made medicine is food. Human-made medicine is pharmaceutical drugs. Based on that logic, the old saying 'you can pay the farmer now, or pay the doctor later' rings so true. But alas, not all food is created equal. In fact, most of the GMO, non-organic, processed food we eat today is not actually food by the time it reaches our plates. If we even eat it on a plate. And what about all the people who get their sustenance from a drive-through window, and eat out of white paper bags? Our second-time guests The Jingslingers would rather you pay the farmer, and use food a the powerful healing tool that nature designed it to be. They know all about the miraculous power of 'real' food. They have spent years traveling the world, teaching their healing (and delicious) culinary practices to celebrities, ordinary folks, and to anyone in need of a health miracle. In this double-episode, we learn about the most powerful superfoods in the world, how to make them taste like the delicious comfort foods you grew up on, and specifically what foods you want to avoid if health and longevity are your goals. Share this episode with the foodie in your life. It might just be the best medicine you can give them. May you waltz into old age with the playful grace of your youth, Luke For more about the show If you missed Part One, catch it here Topics Discussed on today's (Part Two) Episode: What are the healthiest eggs in the market and why you should not eat the whites   How to stay super hydrated using one of my #1 hydration supplements What is the healthiest cookware to use in your kitchen? The importance of detoxing, and how to do it safely Herbs and superfoods that give you more energy, improve your sex drive, improve your sleep and promote weight loss, brain function, cognition Treat depression and anxiety naturally Lifestyle recommendations Part One Episode:  The new exciting move to North Carolina and their water stone retreat Have you heard dowsers?

What if I told you that your diet and exercise habits are not the most important factors in determining your health, and longevity? Sounds crazy right? Well, according to much of the latest scientific research, it's not. It turns out that the lighting that most of us spend the vast majority of our lives in is 'junk light.' And it might just be worse for your health than junk food. So how do you know if the lighting in your home and work environment toxic? Unless you've gone to great lengths to optimize all of the light that you're exposed to your daily life, it's a given that your brain, eyes, and even sleep are being adversely affected. As much as we all love and depend on artificial lighting to allow us to operate after dark, the fact is that we humans have evolved to thrive in three types of light: sun, moon, and fire. The LED and fluorescent lighting that illuminates our phones, computers, televisions, homes, cars, streets, and places of work is not natural and is extremely detrimental to our well-being on many levels. Our guest Dr. Jack Kruse takes us on a fascinating journey into the heart of this current crisis in great detail. You will be shocked to learn of the multitudes of health issues and diseases directly linked not only to our exposure to 'non-native' lighting but also to the dangerous electromagnetic frequencies (EMF's) that unfortunately blanket the entire planet. In the tradition of The Life Stylist Podcast, Jack delivers not only the bad news but also a host of straightforward, practical tips on how to still enjoy the modern conveniences of artificial lighting, and electronics, while mitigating some of the serious risks involved. If you know someone who depends on and enjoys their technology, but also strives to maintain optimum health, this is the show to share with them. When you share this podcast with a friend, you are not only helping them but also supporting my mission to enlighten humanity, by continuing to bring the most brilliant minds in health and wellness to the mainstream. May the longtime sun shine upon you, Luke For more about the show You can view this EP on YouTube If you missed Part One, here it is Topics Discussed:   What is the most dangerous lighting we use in our homes, and the best way to fix it Why is blocking blue light so crucial to our health? Do blue blocking glasses ruin your vision because of eye strain? The link between junk lighting, low dopamine levels and all addictions Direct sunlight is good for us. How do fair skinned people sun safely? What is grounding or ‘earthing’ and why is it good for us? Does the ground have to be wet? The dangers of using laptops, and why Steve Jobs didn't let his own kids use Apple products Is grounding tech and devices valid? Why is living in high rises bad for us? How to protect yourself from harmful EMF radiation Why are ice baths good for you? What’s better: ice baths or cryotherapy? The benefits of infrared saunas, and the best and worst times to use them What are the top 3 healthiest foods we can eat? Are heavy metals in fish as big of a deal as people make them out to be? Is Fukushima radiation a real issue in West Coast seafood?

Are you afraid of the 'C Word'? You know, that word that makes everyone so squeamish and uptight? That's right. CANCER. This single word is one of the scariest in the English language, largely because we have been lead to believe that upon diagnosis, it's a death sentence. Some of you reading might have survived it or had a loved one sadly succumb to it. But what if we've had it all wrong, and the disease known as cancer was not only preventable through diet and lifestyle, but also totally curable by natural, inexpensive means? Our guest Dr. Mark Sircus has spent decades teaching people how to do just that: Treat your cancer naturally, for a fraction of the cost of the often ineffective, traditional Western Medicine approach of killing with with poison or carving it out in surgery. Let’s face it- In the world of natural and alternative medicine, there is no shortage of bullshit. Snake oil. False claims. Woo Woo nonsense. Regardless of that fact, there is also a wealth of knowledge and viable information that has largely been suppressed by our mainstream media and the medical establishment. In keeping faithful to the mission of The Life Stylist Podcast, this episode seeks to enlighten and expose a paradigm shift in thinking about our bodies' natural abilities for healing and wellbeing. If you know someone with cancer or one who's survived it, pass this show along to them to help spread the message of personal empowerment to the masses. To your health and happiness, Luke For more about this episode, including resources and products mentioned Topics Discussed:   Mark’s clinic in Brazil and his practice of  'natural oncology'  What exactly is cancer? Is it a fungus? What is chemotherapy and what it actually does to the body? Do any traditional cancer treatments work? The success statistics are horrendous How the mainstream cancer treatments destroy the immune system  One of Mark’s favorite devices for treatment: The Biomat, which is infrared, amethyst-filled heating pad that is a very powerful healing tool The Earth Pulse, a PEMF device that I use for sleep and healing What about EMFs in our homes?  Some of his top go-to treatments for cancer such as iodine, sodium bicarbonate, baking soda, molecular hydrogen, magnesium bicarbonate and alkaline water The benefits of magnesium What is the healthiest water in the world to drink? Sun exposure, sungazing, vitamin D, and false risk of cancer Are there types of cancer that DO NOT respond to these treatments? How does the monetary expense of natural cancer treatment compare to western medicine’s traditional treatment?

Sex, love, and intimacy - The great mysteries of life. Our guest Neil Strauss is a seven-time New York Times best-selling author and has spent the better part of ten years devoting his life (and writing) to learning the ins and outs of romantic relationships, and how to make them work. From his days as a pickup artist in his book The Game to his recent awakening to the merits of true love, kids, and marriage in The Truth, Neil has committed himself to the study and practice of relationships with a tenacity few others have.

Are you ready for the reefer revolution? Well, regardless of whether you are or not, weed is here, and it's not going away anytime soon. Its use is quickly becoming legalized all over the country, and its acceptance as a legitimate medicine shows no signs of slowing down. Humans have been using marijuana for as far back as history takes us in countless cultures the world over. Despite this plant's incredibly diverse range of applications, it has been widely demonized by Western culture for the better part of the past century. Thanks to advances in science, and the growing popularity of alternative, natural medicine, this formally mysterious plant is finally getting the respect it deserves- beyond its prior reputation as a gateway party drug for stoners. In this episode, we learn all about the current cannabis culture by one of the nation's leading producers of medical-grade edibles and extracts - Brian Chaplin, founder of Medicine Box. Brian's 'Soil to Oil' philosophy is taking the industry by storm, by creating new standards for the cultivation and production of marijuana medicine. Whether you partake in using this plant for fun or the treatment of disease or illness, this interview is packed with useful, up to date information on the subject. If you know someone with mild or severe medical issues, who is looking for alternative solutions, please send this show their way.

Why CBD oil is a very weak compound on its own How to avoid wasting your money on CBD products that aren’t legit Miracle cures to chronic diseases that are attributed to cannabis Herbs and other components that Brian uses as functional ingredients, what they are, and how they are used What are terpenes and other medicinal compounds in cannabis The entourage effect when using different plant medicines together Current and future state of the cannabis industry Lifestyle recommendations   CHECK OUT MY NEW STORE!  THE MASTER MARKET.
