They are old friends and they need the same thing - relief. by RubyRyan. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. “It was nice to see you too, Mrs. Smith, and I will definitely tell my Mama you asked about her,” I crooned, guiding one of my many little, old ladies towards the exit of my practice. I hope she can't smell the alcohol I'm sweating out, but honestly, she's a vintage Southerner. She'd never point out something like that. Mrs. Smith continued, “I always look forward to this appointment. You're just the most wonderful young man with the best manners.” “Well, thank you, Mrs. Smith. I am hardly a young man any longer, but I do appreciate the compliment.”It's Friday. I'm hungover. I haven't gotten laid in weeks. WEEKS. This moment feels like hell. I need to be finished walking this patient out (Why am I even doing this?), get my keys, and hit the Waffle House, maybe even a nap in my car. I am not going to make it like this. I'm pretty sure Mrs. Johnson was still talking when I closed her passenger side door. I pretended not to notice and backed away, smiling and waving. Jogging past the front desk, I let our receptionist know that I'm heading out for a long lunch. “I have some things to do, so I'll be gone a while,” I mumble distractedly. “Well, I hate to tell you this, but you still have one appointment before lunch,” Sarah laughs. Sarah is the receptionist. Sarah is in her twenties and does not get hangovers, and I don't think she really hates to tell me that. I hate Sarah right now. “No fucking way!” I bark. “Yep. And here she comes,” Sarah said, raising her eyebrows and cutting her eyes to the door. I don't even bother to look. I turn on my heel and head for my office. I have to get a Coke and something to eat. I don't care who she is. The second gulp of full-test Coke starts to slow the tremble in my hands. Jerky. Peanut butter & cheese crackers. A few burps. I cannot keep this up. I feel like shit. With my head on my desk, I make a promise I've made many times before: I am 42 years old. Tonight I will go to bed early. I won't get mad when my wife rejects my advances, and I won't pick a fight over it. I won't get drunk and sleep on the couch. I'll just be a well-rested, miserable guy who isn't getting laid. Just a man who makes all the money for all the things but can't get his dick wet. Fuck my life. Just then, Sarah texts to let me know that my patient is in Room #2. Great. Stretch. Face slaps. Eye drops. Deep breath. I just need to get through this last appointment, and then I'll be home free to the weekend. I open the door to the exam room and see a face I've seen many times before. “Emily. Wow! It's so good to see you. How did I not realize you were coming in?” I close the door behind me and plop down on my rolling chair. Emily is a very old friend. Well, really more than a friend. We were couple friends when we were all first married, but before that, Emily and I had spent a great deal of time dry humping and groping each other starting the Summer after high school graduation, pretty much every time we were home from college, and then until we both married other people. God, what great memories - so many blowjobs and hand jobs, so much heavy breathing and desire, coaxing her from one base to the next. Jesus, I felt like a god the first time she let me touch those amazing tits. And then teaching her how to suck my cock. Fuck. How did I never get in her panties? Jesus, what a waste! And here I am now, in my 40s, still not getting laid and still mentally dry humping Emily Masterson. Ugh. “Hi, there. It's ok. I'm sure the last name threw you off,” she replied sweetly. Rolling over to her on my chair, I glance down and pretend to examine the name on the file with a chuckle, “Yeah, I guess so. I haven't known an Emily Masterson in what, 20 years?” She blushes and laughs, wringing her hands in her lap, “Oh, my god. It's so funny to think of the Emily Masterson you knew then.” Oh, she is adorable and clearly nervous about something. I'm close enough now to see the flush of her skin, and the outline of those tits, and smell her perfume. Um. Fuck. It's a good thing I still have this stupid folder in my lap. I'm hard just sitting here next to her. Eighteen year old Emily Masterson was certainly more confident, but not much else has changed - small, long brown hair, green eyes, and that same glorious rack. Wearing skinny jeans, boots, and a fitted black turtleneck, she looks really good. Nothing over the top, but a clearly put together woman. She would look better naked and bouncing on my cock, I think to myself, but quickly disabuse myself of any further fantasies. Fuck, dude. Do your job. You are not 18 anymore, and there is no way you are going to see her naked today. I sigh. As if hearing my thoughts, Emily blushes more deeply and blurts out, “I just couldn't keep his last name after all the things he's done. I need a fresh start, I guess.” “Seems reasonable to me,” I say, smiling at her, hopefully putting her at ease, not to mention hopefully distracting me from thinking about how much I want to take her clothes off. I take a deep breath and move to begin the exam, but before I can, Emily puts her hand on my arm and in a lower, huskier voice, whispers “And so after I finish up with this appointment, I'll only have one item left on my new life to do list.” The words are innocent enough, but the hand on my arm is something different entirely. She squeezes my arm a bit and begins to circle her fingertips in my arm hair. Her touch is so light and inviting, so seductive. Oh, god. I want to take off all of her clothes and devour her. I want to lick every inch of that delicious little body, bury myself in her warmth, and make her cum over and over until I exhaust myself on top of her. Clearing my throat, I break the charged silence and ask, “Emily, what is the last thing on your list?” Emily shocks me by laughing. She looks directly at me, eyes sparkling, and purrs, “Why don't I let you finish doing your job, and then I can tell you about that.” Before I can stop myself, I let out a sigh and blurt, “I'll be honest with you, Emily. I don't know if I can wait to know. I'm tremendously hungover, your hand is on my arm in a way that I like very much, I have a raging hard on, and you smell amazing. Just put me out of my misery.” The laugh that follows doesn't surprise me this time. Oh, it's music to my ears. She's laughing and smiling at me and dear god, I want to touch her. “There he is,” she starts, smiling with eyes full of mischief, clearly pleased with herself. “What?” I ask, laughing. “I was beginning to wonder if my old friend was still under that starchy coat,” she teases. “Switch spots with me. You sit here, like the patient, and I'll be you.” And just like that, I'm sitting in the exam chair and Emily Masterson is climbing into my lap to straddle me. “Oh, fuck, Emily” I groan. I close my eyes and enjoy the weight of her on me, her hands on either side of my face, as she kisses me desperately. “I know you're married,” she gasps, coming up for air between kisses. “I know this is wrong, and I will stop kissing you in a minute, but please just let me enjoy this for a second,” she begs in a ragged whisper, as she begins moving down my jaw line to my neck. I have a rock hard cock in my pants and a beautiful woman in heat on my lap. And I know I have one good decision left to make. I let out a tortured sigh. Emily's kissing slows, and her eyes, hooded with lust, search mine. Apparently not seeing what she wanted, Emily makes a quick move to get up and finds my hands on her waist, pinning her in place. “Where do you think you're going, Emily?” I grind through gritted teeth. “Oh, thank God!” she whispers, settling her crotch down onto mine with a series of needy hip rolls. “I'm out of my mind for you.” “Trust me. The feeling is mutual, but we should do this right,” I demand, trying to still her hips. Emily reaches for the bottom of her turtleneck and starts to pull it over her head. “I don't care about right. Just fuck me quickly. I need you inside me,” she begs. Leaning into her neck, running my hands down her back, smelling her, licking and biting, I continue, barely able to utter the words, “I need to be able to see and touch all of you, and you're going to need to be able to make a lot of noise. I want to fuck you for days.” But she doesn't care. She just wants me inside her. Now. “Please? Just a little? I'll be so quiet,” she pleads as she reaches up to unclasp her bra. “Oh, fuck, Emily. If you get those out, I'm done. I may cum in my pants as it is,” I groan and grab both of her shoulders as she continues to grind against my raging hard on. I can't even look at her when I say, “This is the weirdest day of my life, because I'm going to reject your offer . . ” And before I could finish, Emily tries to knock my hands away in disbelief and interrupts with a furious, “WHAT?” “for now,” I finish. “No, you're not,” she asserts. “I need this so much, and you are so hard,” she pants, grinding her crotch against my throbbing cock. Emily looks into my eyes and seduces me with her lust, “How can you tell me no? Don't you want to know what my pussy feels like? It's so wet for you, and it's so close. It would be so easy to just slip that big cock in and get the relief we both need. Don't you want to help me, Dean?” She finishes cooing into my ear. “Fuck, Emily,” I cave, leaning my head back in surrender, definitely not making that one good decision. As my hold on her shoulders relaxes, she unclasps the front of her bra, releasing her amazing tits between us. “Look at me, Emily,” I bark. “Look. at. me.” She raises her eyes to meet mine, flushed cheeks, hard nipples, eyes drunk with lust. I put my hand under her chin and growl, “I just want to make sure you know there's no going back now. And that whimper is not enough confirmation.” “Tell me, Emily. Let me hear it. Tell me what you need,” I whisper huskily, cupping and pushing her tits together, rubbing my thumbs over the tight pink nipples. Emily's moans and need grow as I pinch her nipples mercilessly and press my face into her cleavage. “Oh, Dean. Yes. Yes, please. I need you inside me,” she whispers frantically. “Fuck yes, Emily. I'm finally going to fuck you. I'm going to make you scream my name, and then I'm going to blow my load deep inside you, like I've always wanted,” I whisper menacingly into her ear. “Umm. Yes, Dean. And it's going to feel so good,” she purrs while sliding away from me to take off her jeans and panties. I watch and stroke my cock through my pants as, finally, Emily Masterson stands in front of me completely naked, aroused, and determined to have me fuck her. I take one deep breath, blow it out, and tell her to lock the door. Emily smiles and says, “Don't worry. I arranged for them all to go out to lunch. My treat. No one else is here, and the front door is locked.” “Oh, fuck yes,” I mutter in relief, launching myself at her, kissing her hard and pinning her against the office countertop. I wrap her naked legs around my waist, engulfing one of her peaked nipples in my mouth, and she leans her head back against the cabinets in pleasure. The resulting moan that floods the room is one of desire, but also relief. But the relief is short-lived as Emily's need begins to overwhelm her. She pleads with me, “I really need you inside me, Dean. Please don't make me wait any longer.” “Oh, my god. There are so many things I want to do to you, Emily,” I groan, undoing my belt and pants, never taking my mouth off of hers. “But good fuck, I need this. I need you, goddamnit.” “Umm. That's what I want,” Emily coos, as she slides off the counter to take my rigid cock in her hand.“ “It's gotten so much bigger, Dean,” she says, stroking my shaft with lust in her eyes. “I hope you don't mind if I” she says distractedly as she dips down and takes the engorged head of my cock in her warm mouth. “OH, FUCK, EMILY! Jesus Christ.” I cannot help but bark out like a man bitten by a snake. I pluck Emily's head off my cock with a firm hand in her hair. “Let's get you back on this counter with your legs around me,” I demand. I rub the head of my cock across her clit until I can feel the first quickening of her orgasm. When I know she is ready to shatter, I slowly push the weeping head of my cock against her soaked sex. “You are so ready for me, Emily,” I whisper in her ear. “Yes! Oh my god. Please. I need you, Dean,” she whimpers. And then I slide my painfully hard cock into her pussy. Inch by throbbing inch, I bury myself in her welcoming heat. “You feel so good. So wet, Emily. So wet for me,” I murmur in her neck. And then we pause. To breathe, to feel the intensity of this moment, to enjoy the relief of overwhelming, shared desire. “Oh, god. You have to move. I have to feel you, Dean. I'm so close” Emily pleads. “Yes. Fuck. I'm going to. I'm trying to hold off,” I gasp. “Fuck. When I start moving, I'm going to fuck you senseless, and I know it won't last long,” I explain. “I don't care! Fuck me!” she cries, wrapping her arms around my neck and holding on tight. Watching her face, I start to move. The expression of relief and pleasure I see there weakens my knees. “That's it, Emily. This is for you. Enjoy me,” I encourage her, feeling my orgasm back off with a suddenly increased sense of duty to deliver for Emily. I lean back and reach between us to press my thumb lightly above her clit, watching my cock slide in and out of her weeping pussy. She feels so fucking good, so responsive, so going to make me cum in her before I want to. “Oh, Dean. Dean. Dean,” she begins to moan, drunk with pleasure on my fat cock. “It feels so good, Dean. You just don't know how long it's been. You. Just. Don't. Know,” she whimpers in time with my strokes. “Oh, I know, baby. I know. I can feel how long it's been. Just enjoy it. Let me make you feel good. You're getting close. I can feel it and see it on your face. Give it to me. Let me have it. I've got you,” I tell her. With one thumb on her clit and two fingers squeezing one of her nipples, I watch Emily Masterson fall apart on my dick. Her skin flushes and seemingly every muscle in her core flutters and then contracts hard, pulsing on my cock, encouraging me to fuck and fill her. And that's exactly what I do. As she is still quaking on my cock, I begin to take what I want. I pull her hips further off the counter and down onto the full length of my dick. Pumping her drenched pussy relentlessly and watching those incredible tits bounce, I know I'm about to cum. “Fuck, you feel so good. So tight. So needy. I'm so deep in you, Emily. I'm fucking you in an exam room, and I'm going to cum inside you,” I groan with my forehead against hers. “YES!” She screams. “Fuck me, Dean! Give it to me.” And then I feel the tightening, the tingle, the crash of the first wave, and I'm coming inside her. Pulse after pulse of relief, I pump into her. “Hmm. Yes, Dean,” Emily moans. “That's what I want. Fill me with your cum. Oh, yes. You feel so good. THIS feels so good.” “Oh, fuck. Yes. Take it, Emily.” I demand. “Oh, yes! Cum in me. Give me what I need, Dean!” She screamed as pulse after pulse of my rigid cock emptied my seed deep into her pussy. I run my hands down her body, trailing kisses across her breasts and nipples and up to her neck, moaning and groaning in satisfaction. Panting, we lean against each other and soak up the release, giggling at the occasional tremor of aftershock. And then there is nothing but the sound of our breathing and the HVAC system. Emily eventually breaks the silence by asking, “Do you still want to hear the final to do on my list?” “That wasn't it?” I laugh. “Well, kind of, but I was actually hoping we could do it more than once,” she begins to explain. “Dear god. Are you serious?” I interrupt, still shamefully trying to catch my breath. “Haha. I know you aren't 18 anymore, Dean,” she says, as she begins putting back on her clothes. “Neither am I,” she continued, “but I do want an arrangement between us. No strings attached. Just regular lunch time fucking. At my house. I'm not far from here, I work from home and live alone. I plan for all of those things to stay true. So, if you'd like to do that, and maybe more, again, starting Monday, come any day you like. Just text me that morning.” And then she grabs her purse, kisses me deeply and walks out without a second glance. I stand in exam room #2 for a few more seconds, catching my breath and making sure that I'm not dreaming. Daily, no strings attached incredible fucking? Jesus Christ, could that be possible? I disinfect all of the equipment and furniture, walk back to my private office and sit down to enjoy a tumbler of whiskey and a cigar. With plenty of time before my staff comes back, I open the practice scheduling software and mark my lunch hour as “Out of Office” for the foreseeable future. SMS: If the offer is still good, I'll be there just after 12 today SMS: Perfect After living in this area my entire life, I cannot believe what I am seeing. I have driven down this road nearly every day of my life, and I have never noticed this driveway. Quickly swallowed up by a giant azalea hedgerow and leyland cypress trees, my truck disappears from view, and I am rolling down a winding driveway towards a sprawling, mid-century ranch. I am about to pull into the garage of an old flame, THE old flame, really. She showed back up after a very high profile divorce and is laying low in the woods, apparently. She seduced me in my office three days ago. We are both adults. So naturally, I'm already back for more. SMS: Garage. Close the door behind you There is plenty of room for my truck next to Emily's Mercedes. I close the garage door and walk into her house. The house is beautiful – open and minimalist in style. Or maybe she just hasn't finished buying décor? Either way, I like it. I scan the kitchen and adjoining den for Emily and hear her coming down the hall from what I assume must be the bedroom wing of the house. “Dean! What a great way to start the week. It's so good to see you,” Emily announces, walking towards me in a long, black robe and throwing her arms around my neck. She smells and feels so good. By the time I realize I'm grasping her ass cheeks with both hands, Emily is laughing. “Oh, this is going to be excellent,” she chuckles between kisses. “Now, before we do anything else, I have an idea about something, but you have to promise that you will tell the 100% truth,” she teases. “Tell you the 100% truth about what?” I ask. “Well, I have a hunch, and if I'm right, it's going to decide something for me,” she explains. Not wanting to be a killjoy, I hesitantly agree, “OK. I'll play. I'll be honest.” Wrapping her naked arms and legs around me and pressing my head down into her cleavage, Emily kisses the top of my head and whispers, “How long has it been since you've had a blowjob?” I tense with humiliation, but then let out a long sigh, holding my head against her chest, kissing her lightly and considering. “Oh, fuck, Emily” I laugh. “I'm wounded. Was it that obvious?” “Welllllllll, I've never known any man to refuse a blowjob, especially not you. In fact, I've never known anyone who loves them more than you. So, yeah, it was weird. But then I wondered if maybe it was something you wanted to keep only for your wife…” I can't help but make an involuntary laughing sound. “which I would completely understand,” she finished softly. “Yeah, no,” I begin, chuckling now. “If she remembers what a blowjob is, she is not giving them to me and hasn't in many years.” “Ok. Well, that's perfect then,” she notes, smiling and wriggling to stand down on the floor. “So, what did my answer decide?” I ask, laughingly. “Oh, I was wondering if you'd remember that part,” she begins, reaching for my belt. “Your answer decided what I'm going to do to you first,” she continues, kneeling in front of me and freeing my rigid member. I'm too stunned for eloquence. I am watching a beautiful woman get on her knees to suck my cock, and I don't have to buy her anything or apologize for wanting it. She just wants to suck my cock because it will make me feel good. “HOLY. SHIT.” I choke out, as Emily licks around the head of my cock and then up and down my shaft. “Umm. I always did love sucking your dick. It's so fucking hot how turned on you get,” she murmurs from my crotch. When she next takes the engorged head of my cock into her mouth with a vibrating moan, I have to put my hand on the kitchen counter to steady myself. It's sensory overload. Warm suction and pressure on my dick, hand on my balls, gorgeous woman actually wanting to suck my dick, moaning, sucking, wet. “Oh, fuck, Emily. That feels incredible,” I groan, throwing my head back and enjoying the sensations. And there is nothing but a moan of encouragement from Emily, as she begins to work the head and shaft in unison. “Oh, yes, baby. Suck my fucking dick. That's it. That's how it's done. Jesus Christ, do you know how to suck cock,” I begin to ramble deliriously. Emily cannot help but laugh and reply, “There you are.” “Oh, fuck yeah, baby. Your mouth feels incredible. And your eyes looking up at me. Holy shit. Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck. I'm getting close. Fuck. Slow down,” I demand, attempting to push at Emily's head. “No, no, now. No way,” she keeps her hand locked on my shaft. “Let's get this out of the way. Give it to me. Cum in my mouth, and let me hear how good it feels” she purrs. “Good fuck, Emily. You are so hot. Keeping sucking it just like that. Oh, god. Oh god. That's it. Oh, god. Emily. I'm going to cum down your throat. FUCK, it feels so good. FUCK. That's it. Oh, god. I'm cumming. I'm cumming, Emily. I'm cumming down your throat,” I finish in a grunted whisper, thrusting into her mouth. Emily sucks me clean and stands with a smile, while I am still clutching the counter for support and trying to catch my breath. “Jesus Christ, Emily. That was incredible,” I groan to her appreciatively as she moves to make drinks. “Whiskey neat?” she asks. “Perfect, but make it fast, and get your ass back in here,” I bark. “Oh, bossy. You're going to give me shivers,” Emily teases with a grin, handing me the whiskey glass and curling up on the sleek leather sectional. “So, how was work this morning?” she asks. “Um, the sex part of this is not over yet, my friend. It's not time to talk shop. It's time for you to come sit next to me.” Surprisingly, she moved without argument. “Oh, that's much better. Yes, ma'am. Right next to me, and then swing those beautiful legs into my lap,” I direct her. While we sipped our drinks in the quiet, I ran my hand softly down the expanse of her toned legs, slowly inching higher inside her thighs, watch her body tense and relax as I approach and avoid her core. When I hear a low moan escape her lips, I quickly change drink hands and give myself better access to her pussy, sliding my hand up to cup her mound. She bucks beneath me with a groan, wanting more pressure. I move between her thighs and lean down to suck each of her nipples deep and hard, earning two low moans from Emily, as she begins to writhe beneath me. Isolating her swollen clit, not too quick, and not hard enough to get her there fast, I lean into her ear: “Did you really think I was going to leave without getting some of this sweet pussy?” I bite on her earlobe and dip two fingers inside. “Oh, baby. You are so wet,” I purr into her ear. “Are you going to cum for me, sweet girl?” I tease. “Oh, my god, Dean. Oh, you always know just what to do,” she whispers, nearly delirious with need. There it is. I could see the flush spread across her skin as I spread her with my cock. “Yes, Dean! Oh, my God. It feels so good. Ah. Oh, Dean, I'm going to cum,” Emily murmurs just before she tenses and closes her eyes. “You look so good cumming around my cock, Emily,” I groan into her ear. “I want to fuck you all day, just so I can watch you cum.” “Oh, god. I hope you do,” Emily assures me. “You feel so good. I feel like I might cry or laugh, or both.” “I think you're cock drunk.” I chuckle between thrusts. “That's fine. Guilty. Whatever. Just keep fucking me. My god, it just feels so good… ” Trailing my hand up her neck and into her hair, I slowly make a fist and pull Emily taught. Nipping her earlobe and increasing the pace on her clit, I admire the wanton woman beneath me. We are fucking for mutual pleasure. What a gift. And when I see that sweet flush start to rise in her skin, I quicken my pace and give in to the tightening in my balls. “Oh, Dean. I'm so close,” Emily pants. “Oh, fuck, yes. Give it to me, Emily” I demand. And she does. Waves of pleasure roll through her body, massaging my cock buried deep inside her. I can't help but tip over the edge watching her embrace her orgasm. And I hope to god I'm not dreaming, because this is fantastic. “Oh, wow. That was JUST what I needed. I don't think I realized how hard up I really was,” she laughs from beneath her curtain of hair. “Yeah, that quickie on Friday was definitely not enough for me. I was counting the minutes until I could get here.” “Not me,” she quips. “I didn't think about it at all, actually. Forgot until just before you pulled… ” “Bullshit!” I laugh and smack her on the ass. Emily laughs and blushes and moves to pour us another drink. “The shower is through there, if you'd like. I'll be heading back up to my office. I trust you can see yourself out?” she asks as a statement. “Yes, ma'am,” I respond sarcastically, somewhat hurt by her coldness. “Listen. You and I both know this is already dangerous territory. Let's hold off falling in love again for as long as possible.” And she was right, of course. by RubyRyan for Literotica

They are old friends and they need the same thing - relief. by RubyRyan. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. “It was nice to see you too, Mrs. Smith, and I will definitely tell my Mama you asked about her,” I crooned, guiding one of my many little, old ladies towards the exit of my practice. I hope she can't smell the alcohol I'm sweating out, but honestly, she's a vintage Southerner. She'd never point out something like that. Mrs. Smith continued, “I always look forward to this appointment. You're just the most wonderful young man with the best manners.” “Well, thank you, Mrs. Smith. I am hardly a young man any longer, but I do appreciate the compliment.”It's Friday. I'm hungover. I haven't gotten laid in weeks. WEEKS. This moment feels like hell. I need to be finished walking this patient out (Why am I even doing this?), get my keys, and hit the Waffle House, maybe even a nap in my car. I am not going to make it like this. I'm pretty sure Mrs. Johnson was still talking when I closed her passenger side door. I pretended not to notice and backed away, smiling and waving. Jogging past the front desk, I let our receptionist know that I'm heading out for a long lunch. “I have some things to do, so I'll be gone a while,” I mumble distractedly. “Well, I hate to tell you this, but you still have one appointment before lunch,” Sarah laughs. Sarah is the receptionist. Sarah is in her twenties and does not get hangovers, and I don't think she really hates to tell me that. I hate Sarah right now. “No fucking way!” I bark. “Yep. And here she comes,” Sarah said, raising her eyebrows and cutting her eyes to the door. I don't even bother to look. I turn on my heel and head for my office. I have to get a Coke and something to eat. I don't care who she is. The second gulp of full-test Coke starts to slow the tremble in my hands. Jerky. Peanut butter & cheese crackers. A few burps. I cannot keep this up. I feel like shit. With my head on my desk, I make a promise I've made many times before: I am 42 years old. Tonight I will go to bed early. I won't get mad when my wife rejects my advances, and I won't pick a fight over it. I won't get drunk and sleep on the couch. I'll just be a well-rested, miserable guy who isn't getting laid. Just a man who makes all the money for all the things but can't get his dick wet. Fuck my life. Just then, Sarah texts to let me know that my patient is in Room #2. Great. Stretch. Face slaps. Eye drops. Deep breath. I just need to get through this last appointment, and then I'll be home free to the weekend. I open the door to the exam room and see a face I've seen many times before. “Emily. Wow! It's so good to see you. How did I not realize you were coming in?” I close the door behind me and plop down on my rolling chair. Emily is a very old friend. Well, really more than a friend. We were couple friends when we were all first married, but before that, Emily and I had spent a great deal of time dry humping and groping each other starting the Summer after high school graduation, pretty much every time we were home from college, and then until we both married other people. God, what great memories - so many blowjobs and hand jobs, so much heavy breathing and desire, coaxing her from one base to the next. Jesus, I felt like a god the first time she let me touch those amazing tits. And then teaching her how to suck my cock. Fuck. How did I never get in her panties? Jesus, what a waste! And here I am now, in my 40s, still not getting laid and still mentally dry humping Emily Masterson. Ugh. “Hi, there. It's ok. I'm sure the last name threw you off,” she replied sweetly. Rolling over to her on my chair, I glance down and pretend to examine the name on the file with a chuckle, “Yeah, I guess so. I haven't known an Emily Masterson in what, 20 years?” She blushes and laughs, wringing her hands in her lap, “Oh, my god. It's so funny to think of the Emily Masterson you knew then.” Oh, she is adorable and clearly nervous about something. I'm close enough now to see the flush of her skin, and the outline of those tits, and smell her perfume. Um. Fuck. It's a good thing I still have this stupid folder in my lap. I'm hard just sitting here next to her. Eighteen year old Emily Masterson was certainly more confident, but not much else has changed - small, long brown hair, green eyes, and that same glorious rack. Wearing skinny jeans, boots, and a fitted black turtleneck, she looks really good. Nothing over the top, but a clearly put together woman. She would look better naked and bouncing on my cock, I think to myself, but quickly disabuse myself of any further fantasies. Fuck, dude. Do your job. You are not 18 anymore, and there is no way you are going to see her naked today. I sigh. As if hearing my thoughts, Emily blushes more deeply and blurts out, “I just couldn't keep his last name after all the things he's done. I need a fresh start, I guess.” “Seems reasonable to me,” I say, smiling at her, hopefully putting her at ease, not to mention hopefully distracting me from thinking about how much I want to take her clothes off. I take a deep breath and move to begin the exam, but before I can, Emily puts her hand on my arm and in a lower, huskier voice, whispers “And so after I finish up with this appointment, I'll only have one item left on my new life to do list.” The words are innocent enough, but the hand on my arm is something different entirely. She squeezes my arm a bit and begins to circle her fingertips in my arm hair. Her touch is so light and inviting, so seductive. Oh, god. I want to take off all of her clothes and devour her. I want to lick every inch of that delicious little body, bury myself in her warmth, and make her cum over and over until I exhaust myself on top of her. Clearing my throat, I break the charged silence and ask, “Emily, what is the last thing on your list?” Emily shocks me by laughing. She looks directly at me, eyes sparkling, and purrs, “Why don't I let you finish doing your job, and then I can tell you about that.” Before I can stop myself, I let out a sigh and blurt, “I'll be honest with you, Emily. I don't know if I can wait to know. I'm tremendously hungover, your hand is on my arm in a way that I like very much, I have a raging hard on, and you smell amazing. Just put me out of my misery.” The laugh that follows doesn't surprise me this time. Oh, it's music to my ears. She's laughing and smiling at me and dear god, I want to touch her. “There he is,” she starts, smiling with eyes full of mischief, clearly pleased with herself. “What?” I ask, laughing. “I was beginning to wonder if my old friend was still under that starchy coat,” she teases. “Switch spots with me. You sit here, like the patient, and I'll be you.” And just like that, I'm sitting in the exam chair and Emily Masterson is climbing into my lap to straddle me. “Oh, fuck, Emily” I groan. I close my eyes and enjoy the weight of her on me, her hands on either side of my face, as she kisses me desperately. “I know you're married,” she gasps, coming up for air between kisses. “I know this is wrong, and I will stop kissing you in a minute, but please just let me enjoy this for a second,” she begs in a ragged whisper, as she begins moving down my jaw line to my neck. I have a rock hard cock in my pants and a beautiful woman in heat on my lap. And I know I have one good decision left to make. I let out a tortured sigh. Emily's kissing slows, and her eyes, hooded with lust, search mine. Apparently not seeing what she wanted, Emily makes a quick move to get up and finds my hands on her waist, pinning her in place. “Where do you think you're going, Emily?” I grind through gritted teeth. “Oh, thank God!” she whispers, settling her crotch down onto mine with a series of needy hip rolls. “I'm out of my mind for you.” “Trust me. The feeling is mutual, but we should do this right,” I demand, trying to still her hips. Emily reaches for the bottom of her turtleneck and starts to pull it over her head. “I don't care about right. Just fuck me quickly. I need you inside me,” she begs. Leaning into her neck, running my hands down her back, smelling her, licking and biting, I continue, barely able to utter the words, “I need to be able to see and touch all of you, and you're going to need to be able to make a lot of noise. I want to fuck you for days.” But she doesn't care. She just wants me inside her. Now. “Please? Just a little? I'll be so quiet,” she pleads as she reaches up to unclasp her bra. “Oh, fuck, Emily. If you get those out, I'm done. I may cum in my pants as it is,” I groan and grab both of her shoulders as she continues to grind against my raging hard on. I can't even look at her when I say, “This is the weirdest day of my life, because I'm going to reject your offer . . ” And before I could finish, Emily tries to knock my hands away in disbelief and interrupts with a furious, “WHAT?” “for now,” I finish. “No, you're not,” she asserts. “I need this so much, and you are so hard,” she pants, grinding her crotch against my throbbing cock. Emily looks into my eyes and seduces me with her lust, “How can you tell me no? Don't you want to know what my pussy feels like? It's so wet for you, and it's so close. It would be so easy to just slip that big cock in and get the relief we both need. Don't you want to help me, Dean?” She finishes cooing into my ear. “Fuck, Emily,” I cave, leaning my head back in surrender, definitely not making that one good decision. As my hold on her shoulders relaxes, she unclasps the front of her bra, releasing her amazing tits between us. “Look at me, Emily,” I bark. “Look. at. me.” She raises her eyes to meet mine, flushed cheeks, hard nipples, eyes drunk with lust. I put my hand under her chin and growl, “I just want to make sure you know there's no going back now. And that whimper is not enough confirmation.” “Tell me, Emily. Let me hear it. Tell me what you need,” I whisper huskily, cupping and pushing her tits together, rubbing my thumbs over the tight pink nipples. Emily's moans and need grow as I pinch her nipples mercilessly and press my face into her cleavage. “Oh, Dean. Yes. Yes, please. I need you inside me,” she whispers frantically. “Fuck yes, Emily. I'm finally going to fuck you. I'm going to make you scream my name, and then I'm going to blow my load deep inside you, like I've always wanted,” I whisper menacingly into her ear. “Umm. Yes, Dean. And it's going to feel so good,” she purrs while sliding away from me to take off her jeans and panties. I watch and stroke my cock through my pants as, finally, Emily Masterson stands in front of me completely naked, aroused, and determined to have me fuck her. I take one deep breath, blow it out, and tell her to lock the door. Emily smiles and says, “Don't worry. I arranged for them all to go out to lunch. My treat. No one else is here, and the front door is locked.” “Oh, fuck yes,” I mutter in relief, launching myself at her, kissing her hard and pinning her against the office countertop. I wrap her naked legs around my waist, engulfing one of her peaked nipples in my mouth, and she leans her head back against the cabinets in pleasure. The resulting moan that floods the room is one of desire, but also relief. But the relief is short-lived as Emily's need begins to overwhelm her. She pleads with me, “I really need you inside me, Dean. Please don't make me wait any longer.” “Oh, my god. There are so many things I want to do to you, Emily,” I groan, undoing my belt and pants, never taking my mouth off of hers. “But good fuck, I need this. I need you, goddamnit.” “Umm. That's what I want,” Emily coos, as she slides off the counter to take my rigid cock in her hand.“ “It's gotten so much bigger, Dean,” she says, stroking my shaft with lust in her eyes. “I hope you don't mind if I” she says distractedly as she dips down and takes the engorged head of my cock in her warm mouth. “OH, FUCK, EMILY! Jesus Christ.” I cannot help but bark out like a man bitten by a snake. I pluck Emily's head off my cock with a firm hand in her hair. “Let's get you back on this counter with your legs around me,” I demand. I rub the head of my cock across her clit until I can feel the first quickening of her orgasm. When I know she is ready to shatter, I slowly push the weeping head of my cock against her soaked sex. “You are so ready for me, Emily,” I whisper in her ear. “Yes! Oh my god. Please. I need you, Dean,” she whimpers. And then I slide my painfully hard cock into her pussy. Inch by throbbing inch, I bury myself in her welcoming heat. “You feel so good. So wet, Emily. So wet for me,” I murmur in her neck. And then we pause. To breathe, to feel the intensity of this moment, to enjoy the relief of overwhelming, shared desire. “Oh, god. You have to move. I have to feel you, Dean. I'm so close” Emily pleads. “Yes. Fuck. I'm going to. I'm trying to hold off,” I gasp. “Fuck. When I start moving, I'm going to fuck you senseless, and I know it won't last long,” I explain. “I don't care! Fuck me!” she cries, wrapping her arms around my neck and holding on tight. Watching her face, I start to move. The expression of relief and pleasure I see there weakens my knees. “That's it, Emily. This is for you. Enjoy me,” I encourage her, feeling my orgasm back off with a suddenly increased sense of duty to deliver for Emily. I lean back and reach between us to press my thumb lightly above her clit, watching my cock slide in and out of her weeping pussy. She feels so fucking good, so responsive, so going to make me cum in her before I want to. “Oh, Dean. Dean. Dean,” she begins to moan, drunk with pleasure on my fat cock. “It feels so good, Dean. You just don't know how long it's been. You. Just. Don't. Know,” she whimpers in time with my strokes. “Oh, I know, baby. I know. I can feel how long it's been. Just enjoy it. Let me make you feel good. You're getting close. I can feel it and see it on your face. Give it to me. Let me have it. I've got you,” I tell her. With one thumb on her clit and two fingers squeezing one of her nipples, I watch Emily Masterson fall apart on my dick. Her skin flushes and seemingly every muscle in her core flutters and then contracts hard, pulsing on my cock, encouraging me to fuck and fill her. And that's exactly what I do. As she is still quaking on my cock, I begin to take what I want. I pull her hips further off the counter and down onto the full length of my dick. Pumping her drenched pussy relentlessly and watching those incredible tits bounce, I know I'm about to cum. “Fuck, you feel so good. So tight. So needy. I'm so deep in you, Emily. I'm fucking you in an exam room, and I'm going to cum inside you,” I groan with my forehead against hers. “YES!” She screams. “Fuck me, Dean! Give it to me.” And then I feel the tightening, the tingle, the crash of the first wave, and I'm coming inside her. Pulse after pulse of relief, I pump into her. “Hmm. Yes, Dean,” Emily moans. “That's what I want. Fill me with your cum. Oh, yes. You feel so good. THIS feels so good.” “Oh, fuck. Yes. Take it, Emily.” I demand. “Oh, yes! Cum in me. Give me what I need, Dean!” She screamed as pulse after pulse of my rigid cock emptied my seed deep into her pussy. I run my hands down her body, trailing kisses across her breasts and nipples and up to her neck, moaning and groaning in satisfaction. Panting, we lean against each other and soak up the release, giggling at the occasional tremor of aftershock. And then there is nothing but the sound of our breathing and the HVAC system. Emily eventually breaks the silence by asking, “Do you still want to hear the final to do on my list?” “That wasn't it?” I laugh. “Well, kind of, but I was actually hoping we could do it more than once,” she begins to explain. “Dear god. Are you serious?” I interrupt, still shamefully trying to catch my breath. “Haha. I know you aren't 18 anymore, Dean,” she says, as she begins putting back on her clothes. “Neither am I,” she continued, “but I do want an arrangement between us. No strings attached. Just regular lunch time fucking. At my house. I'm not far from here, I work from home and live alone. I plan for all of those things to stay true. So, if you'd like to do that, and maybe more, again, starting Monday, come any day you like. Just text me that morning.” And then she grabs her purse, kisses me deeply and walks out without a second glance. I stand in exam room #2 for a few more seconds, catching my breath and making sure that I'm not dreaming. Daily, no strings attached incredible fucking? Jesus Christ, could that be possible? I disinfect all of the equipment and furniture, walk back to my private office and sit down to enjoy a tumbler of whiskey and a cigar. With plenty of time before my staff comes back, I open the practice scheduling software and mark my lunch hour as “Out of Office” for the foreseeable future. SMS: If the offer is still good, I'll be there just after 12 today SMS: Perfect After living in this area my entire life, I cannot believe what I am seeing. I have driven down this road nearly every day of my life, and I have never noticed this driveway. Quickly swallowed up by a giant azalea hedgerow and leyland cypress trees, my truck disappears from view, and I am rolling down a winding driveway towards a sprawling, mid-century ranch. I am about to pull into the garage of an old flame, THE old flame, really. She showed back up after a very high profile divorce and is laying low in the woods, apparently. She seduced me in my office three days ago. We are both adults. So naturally, I'm already back for more. SMS: Garage. Close the door behind you There is plenty of room for my truck next to Emily's Mercedes. I close the garage door and walk into her house. The house is beautiful – open and minimalist in style. Or maybe she just hasn't finished buying décor? Either way, I like it. I scan the kitchen and adjoining den for Emily and hear her coming down the hall from what I assume must be the bedroom wing of the house. “Dean! What a great way to start the week. It's so good to see you,” Emily announces, walking towards me in a long, black robe and throwing her arms around my neck. She smells and feels so good. By the time I realize I'm grasping her ass cheeks with both hands, Emily is laughing. “Oh, this is going to be excellent,” she chuckles between kisses. “Now, before we do anything else, I have an idea about something, but you have to promise that you will tell the 100% truth,” she teases. “Tell you the 100% truth about what?” I ask. “Well, I have a hunch, and if I'm right, it's going to decide something for me,” she explains. Not wanting to be a killjoy, I hesitantly agree, “OK. I'll play. I'll be honest.” Wrapping her naked arms and legs around me and pressing my head down into her cleavage, Emily kisses the top of my head and whispers, “How long has it been since you've had a blowjob?” I tense with humiliation, but then let out a long sigh, holding my head against her chest, kissing her lightly and considering. “Oh, fuck, Emily” I laugh. “I'm wounded. Was it that obvious?” “Welllllllll, I've never known any man to refuse a blowjob, especially not you. In fact, I've never known anyone who loves them more than you. So, yeah, it was weird. But then I wondered if maybe it was something you wanted to keep only for your wife…” I can't help but make an involuntary laughing sound. “which I would completely understand,” she finished softly. “Yeah, no,” I begin, chuckling now. “If she remembers what a blowjob is, she is not giving them to me and hasn't in many years.” “Ok. Well, that's perfect then,” she notes, smiling and wriggling to stand down on the floor. “So, what did my answer decide?” I ask, laughingly. “Oh, I was wondering if you'd remember that part,” she begins, reaching for my belt. “Your answer decided what I'm going to do to you first,” she continues, kneeling in front of me and freeing my rigid member. I'm too stunned for eloquence. I am watching a beautiful woman get on her knees to suck my cock, and I don't have to buy her anything or apologize for wanting it. She just wants to suck my cock because it will make me feel good. “HOLY. SHIT.” I choke out, as Emily licks around the head of my cock and then up and down my shaft. “Umm. I always did love sucking your dick. It's so fucking hot how turned on you get,” she murmurs from my crotch. When she next takes the engorged head of my cock into her mouth with a vibrating moan, I have to put my hand on the kitchen counter to steady myself. It's sensory overload. Warm suction and pressure on my dick, hand on my balls, gorgeous woman actually wanting to suck my dick, moaning, sucking, wet. “Oh, fuck, Emily. That feels incredible,” I groan, throwing my head back and enjoying the sensations. And there is nothing but a moan of encouragement from Emily, as she begins to work the head and shaft in unison. “Oh, yes, baby. Suck my fucking dick. That's it. That's how it's done. Jesus Christ, do you know how to suck cock,” I begin to ramble deliriously. Emily cannot help but laugh and reply, “There you are.” “Oh, fuck yeah, baby. Your mouth feels incredible. And your eyes looking up at me. Holy shit. Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck. I'm getting close. Fuck. Slow down,” I demand, attempting to push at Emily's head. “No, no, now. No way,” she keeps her hand locked on my shaft. “Let's get this out of the way. Give it to me. Cum in my mouth, and let me hear how good it feels” she purrs. “Good fuck, Emily. You are so hot. Keeping sucking it just like that. Oh, god. Oh god. That's it. Oh, god. Emily. I'm going to cum down your throat. FUCK, it feels so good. FUCK. That's it. Oh, god. I'm cumming. I'm cumming, Emily. I'm cumming down your throat,” I finish in a grunted whisper, thrusting into her mouth. Emily sucks me clean and stands with a smile, while I am still clutching the counter for support and trying to catch my breath. “Jesus Christ, Emily. That was incredible,” I groan to her appreciatively as she moves to make drinks. “Whiskey neat?” she asks. “Perfect, but make it fast, and get your ass back in here,” I bark. “Oh, bossy. You're going to give me shivers,” Emily teases with a grin, handing me the whiskey glass and curling up on the sleek leather sectional. “So, how was work this morning?” she asks. “Um, the sex part of this is not over yet, my friend. It's not time to talk shop. It's time for you to come sit next to me.” Surprisingly, she moved without argument. “Oh, that's much better. Yes, ma'am. Right next to me, and then swing those beautiful legs into my lap,” I direct her. While we sipped our drinks in the quiet, I ran my hand softly down the expanse of her toned legs, slowly inching higher inside her thighs, watch her body tense and relax as I approach and avoid her core. When I hear a low moan escape her lips, I quickly change drink hands and give myself better access to her pussy, sliding my hand up to cup her mound. She bucks beneath me with a groan, wanting more pressure. I move between her thighs and lean down to suck each of her nipples deep and hard, earning two low moans from Emily, as she begins to writhe beneath me. Isolating her swollen clit, not too quick, and not hard enough to get her there fast, I lean into her ear: “Did you really think I was going to leave without getting some of this sweet pussy?” I bite on her earlobe and dip two fingers inside. “Oh, baby. You are so wet,” I purr into her ear. “Are you going to cum for me, sweet girl?” I tease. “Oh, my god, Dean. Oh, you always know just what to do,” she whispers, nearly delirious with need. There it is. I could see the flush spread across her skin as I spread her with my cock. “Yes, Dean! Oh, my God. It feels so good. Ah. Oh, Dean, I'm going to cum,” Emily murmurs just before she tenses and closes her eyes. “You look so good cumming around my cock, Emily,” I groan into her ear. “I want to fuck you all day, just so I can watch you cum.” “Oh, god. I hope you do,” Emily assures me. “You feel so good. I feel like I might cry or laugh, or both.” “I think you're cock drunk.” I chuckle between thrusts. “That's fine. Guilty. Whatever. Just keep fucking me. My god, it just feels so good… ” Trailing my hand up her neck and into her hair, I slowly make a fist and pull Emily taught. Nipping her earlobe and increasing the pace on her clit, I admire the wanton woman beneath me. We are fucking for mutual pleasure. What a gift. And when I see that sweet flush start to rise in her skin, I quicken my pace and give in to the tightening in my balls. “Oh, Dean. I'm so close,” Emily pants. “Oh, fuck, yes. Give it to me, Emily” I demand. And she does. Waves of pleasure roll through her body, massaging my cock buried deep inside her. I can't help but tip over the edge watching her embrace her orgasm. And I hope to god I'm not dreaming, because this is fantastic. “Oh, wow. That was JUST what I needed. I don't think I realized how hard up I really was,” she laughs from beneath her curtain of hair. “Yeah, that quickie on Friday was definitely not enough for me. I was counting the minutes until I could get here.” “Not me,” she quips. “I didn't think about it at all, actually. Forgot until just before you pulled… ” “Bullshit!” I laugh and smack her on the ass. Emily laughs and blushes and moves to pour us another drink. “The shower is through there, if you'd like. I'll be heading back up to my office. I trust you can see yourself out?” she asks as a statement. “Yes, ma'am,” I respond sarcastically, somewhat hurt by her coldness. “Listen. You and I both know this is already dangerous territory. Let's hold off falling in love again for as long as possible.” And she was right, of course. by RubyRyan for Literotica

They are old friends and they need the same thing - relief. by RubyRyan. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. “It was nice to see you too, Mrs. Smith, and I will definitely tell my Mama you asked about her,” I crooned, guiding one of my many little, old ladies towards the exit of my practice. I hope she can't smell the alcohol I'm sweating out, but honestly, she's a vintage Southerner. She'd never point out something like that. Mrs. Smith continued, “I always look forward to this appointment. You're just the most wonderful young man with the best manners.” “Well, thank you, Mrs. Smith. I am hardly a young man any longer, but I do appreciate the compliment.”It's Friday. I'm hungover. I haven't gotten laid in weeks. WEEKS. This moment feels like hell. I need to be finished walking this patient out (Why am I even doing this?), get my keys, and hit the Waffle House, maybe even a nap in my car. I am not going to make it like this. I'm pretty sure Mrs. Johnson was still talking when I closed her passenger side door. I pretended not to notice and backed away, smiling and waving. Jogging past the front desk, I let our receptionist know that I'm heading out for a long lunch. “I have some things to do, so I'll be gone a while,” I mumble distractedly. “Well, I hate to tell you this, but you still have one appointment before lunch,” Sarah laughs. Sarah is the receptionist. Sarah is in her twenties and does not get hangovers, and I don't think she really hates to tell me that. I hate Sarah right now. “No fucking way!” I bark. “Yep. And here she comes,” Sarah said, raising her eyebrows and cutting her eyes to the door. I don't even bother to look. I turn on my heel and head for my office. I have to get a Coke and something to eat. I don't care who she is. The second gulp of full-test Coke starts to slow the tremble in my hands. Jerky. Peanut butter & cheese crackers. A few burps. I cannot keep this up. I feel like shit. With my head on my desk, I make a promise I've made many times before: I am 42 years old. Tonight I will go to bed early. I won't get mad when my wife rejects my advances, and I won't pick a fight over it. I won't get drunk and sleep on the couch. I'll just be a well-rested, miserable guy who isn't getting laid. Just a man who makes all the money for all the things but can't get his dick wet. Fuck my life. Just then, Sarah texts to let me know that my patient is in Room #2. Great. Stretch. Face slaps. Eye drops. Deep breath. I just need to get through this last appointment, and then I'll be home free to the weekend. I open the door to the exam room and see a face I've seen many times before. “Emily. Wow! It's so good to see you. How did I not realize you were coming in?” I close the door behind me and plop down on my rolling chair. Emily is a very old friend. Well, really more than a friend. We were couple friends when we were all first married, but before that, Emily and I had spent a great deal of time dry humping and groping each other starting the Summer after high school graduation, pretty much every time we were home from college, and then until we both married other people. God, what great memories - so many blowjobs and hand jobs, so much heavy breathing and desire, coaxing her from one base to the next. Jesus, I felt like a god the first time she let me touch those amazing tits. And then teaching her how to suck my cock. Fuck. How did I never get in her panties? Jesus, what a waste! And here I am now, in my 40s, still not getting laid and still mentally dry humping Emily Masterson. Ugh. “Hi, there. It's ok. I'm sure the last name threw you off,” she replied sweetly. Rolling over to her on my chair, I glance down and pretend to examine the name on the file with a chuckle, “Yeah, I guess so. I haven't known an Emily Masterson in what, 20 years?” She blushes and laughs, wringing her hands in her lap, “Oh, my god. It's so funny to think of the Emily Masterson you knew then.” Oh, she is adorable and clearly nervous about something. I'm close enough now to see the flush of her skin, and the outline of those tits, and smell her perfume. Um. Fuck. It's a good thing I still have this stupid folder in my lap. I'm hard just sitting here next to her. Eighteen year old Emily Masterson was certainly more confident, but not much else has changed - small, long brown hair, green eyes, and that same glorious rack. Wearing skinny jeans, boots, and a fitted black turtleneck, she looks really good. Nothing over the top, but a clearly put together woman. She would look better naked and bouncing on my cock, I think to myself, but quickly disabuse myself of any further fantasies. Fuck, dude. Do your job. You are not 18 anymore, and there is no way you are going to see her naked today. I sigh. As if hearing my thoughts, Emily blushes more deeply and blurts out, “I just couldn't keep his last name after all the things he's done. I need a fresh start, I guess.” “Seems reasonable to me,” I say, smiling at her, hopefully putting her at ease, not to mention hopefully distracting me from thinking about how much I want to take her clothes off. I take a deep breath and move to begin the exam, but before I can, Emily puts her hand on my arm and in a lower, huskier voice, whispers “And so after I finish up with this appointment, I'll only have one item left on my new life to do list.” The words are innocent enough, but the hand on my arm is something different entirely. She squeezes my arm a bit and begins to circle her fingertips in my arm hair. Her touch is so light and inviting, so seductive. Oh, god. I want to take off all of her clothes and devour her. I want to lick every inch of that delicious little body, bury myself in her warmth, and make her cum over and over until I exhaust myself on top of her. Clearing my throat, I break the charged silence and ask, “Emily, what is the last thing on your list?” Emily shocks me by laughing. She looks directly at me, eyes sparkling, and purrs, “Why don't I let you finish doing your job, and then I can tell you about that.” Before I can stop myself, I let out a sigh and blurt, “I'll be honest with you, Emily. I don't know if I can wait to know. I'm tremendously hungover, your hand is on my arm in a way that I like very much, I have a raging hard on, and you smell amazing. Just put me out of my misery.” The laugh that follows doesn't surprise me this time. Oh, it's music to my ears. She's laughing and smiling at me and dear god, I want to touch her. “There he is,” she starts, smiling with eyes full of mischief, clearly pleased with herself. “What?” I ask, laughing. “I was beginning to wonder if my old friend was still under that starchy coat,” she teases. “Switch spots with me. You sit here, like the patient, and I'll be you.” And just like that, I'm sitting in the exam chair and Emily Masterson is climbing into my lap to straddle me. “Oh, fuck, Emily” I groan. I close my eyes and enjoy the weight of her on me, her hands on either side of my face, as she kisses me desperately. “I know you're married,” she gasps, coming up for air between kisses. “I know this is wrong, and I will stop kissing you in a minute, but please just let me enjoy this for a second,” she begs in a ragged whisper, as she begins moving down my jaw line to my neck. I have a rock hard cock in my pants and a beautiful woman in heat on my lap. And I know I have one good decision left to make. I let out a tortured sigh. Emily's kissing slows, and her eyes, hooded with lust, search mine. Apparently not seeing what she wanted, Emily makes a quick move to get up and finds my hands on her waist, pinning her in place. “Where do you think you're going, Emily?” I grind through gritted teeth. “Oh, thank God!” she whispers, settling her crotch down onto mine with a series of needy hip rolls. “I'm out of my mind for you.” “Trust me. The feeling is mutual, but we should do this right,” I demand, trying to still her hips. Emily reaches for the bottom of her turtleneck and starts to pull it over her head. “I don't care about right. Just fuck me quickly. I need you inside me,” she begs. Leaning into her neck, running my hands down her back, smelling her, licking and biting, I continue, barely able to utter the words, “I need to be able to see and touch all of you, and you're going to need to be able to make a lot of noise. I want to fuck you for days.” But she doesn't care. She just wants me inside her. Now. “Please? Just a little? I'll be so quiet,” she pleads as she reaches up to unclasp her bra. “Oh, fuck, Emily. If you get those out, I'm done. I may cum in my pants as it is,” I groan and grab both of her shoulders as she continues to grind against my raging hard on. I can't even look at her when I say, “This is the weirdest day of my life, because I'm going to reject your offer . . ” And before I could finish, Emily tries to knock my hands away in disbelief and interrupts with a furious, “WHAT?” “for now,” I finish. “No, you're not,” she asserts. “I need this so much, and you are so hard,” she pants, grinding her crotch against my throbbing cock. Emily looks into my eyes and seduces me with her lust, “How can you tell me no? Don't you want to know what my pussy feels like? It's so wet for you, and it's so close. It would be so easy to just slip that big cock in and get the relief we both need. Don't you want to help me, Dean?” She finishes cooing into my ear. “Fuck, Emily,” I cave, leaning my head back in surrender, definitely not making that one good decision. As my hold on her shoulders relaxes, she unclasps the front of her bra, releasing her amazing tits between us. “Look at me, Emily,” I bark. “Look. at. me.” She raises her eyes to meet mine, flushed cheeks, hard nipples, eyes drunk with lust. I put my hand under her chin and growl, “I just want to make sure you know there's no going back now. And that whimper is not enough confirmation.” “Tell me, Emily. Let me hear it. Tell me what you need,” I whisper huskily, cupping and pushing her tits together, rubbing my thumbs over the tight pink nipples. Emily's moans and need grow as I pinch her nipples mercilessly and press my face into her cleavage. “Oh, Dean. Yes. Yes, please. I need you inside me,” she whispers frantically. “Fuck yes, Emily. I'm finally going to fuck you. I'm going to make you scream my name, and then I'm going to blow my load deep inside you, like I've always wanted,” I whisper menacingly into her ear. “Umm. Yes, Dean. And it's going to feel so good,” she purrs while sliding away from me to take off her jeans and panties. I watch and stroke my cock through my pants as, finally, Emily Masterson stands in front of me completely naked, aroused, and determined to have me fuck her. I take one deep breath, blow it out, and tell her to lock the door. Emily smiles and says, “Don't worry. I arranged for them all to go out to lunch. My treat. No one else is here, and the front door is locked.” “Oh, fuck yes,” I mutter in relief, launching myself at her, kissing her hard and pinning her against the office countertop. I wrap her naked legs around my waist, engulfing one of her peaked nipples in my mouth, and she leans her head back against the cabinets in pleasure. The resulting moan that floods the room is one of desire, but also relief. But the relief is short-lived as Emily's need begins to overwhelm her. She pleads with me, “I really need you inside me, Dean. Please don't make me wait any longer.” “Oh, my god. There are so many things I want to do to you, Emily,” I groan, undoing my belt and pants, never taking my mouth off of hers. “But good fuck, I need this. I need you, goddamnit.” “Umm. That's what I want,” Emily coos, as she slides off the counter to take my rigid cock in her hand.“ “It's gotten so much bigger, Dean,” she says, stroking my shaft with lust in her eyes. “I hope you don't mind if I” she says distractedly as she dips down and takes the engorged head of my cock in her warm mouth. “OH, FUCK, EMILY! Jesus Christ.” I cannot help but bark out like a man bitten by a snake. I pluck Emily's head off my cock with a firm hand in her hair. “Let's get you back on this counter with your legs around me,” I demand. I rub the head of my cock across her clit until I can feel the first quickening of her orgasm. When I know she is ready to shatter, I slowly push the weeping head of my cock against her soaked sex. “You are so ready for me, Emily,” I whisper in her ear. “Yes! Oh my god. Please. I need you, Dean,” she whimpers. And then I slide my painfully hard cock into her pussy. Inch by throbbing inch, I bury myself in her welcoming heat. “You feel so good. So wet, Emily. So wet for me,” I murmur in her neck. And then we pause. To breathe, to feel the intensity of this moment, to enjoy the relief of overwhelming, shared desire. “Oh, god. You have to move. I have to feel you, Dean. I'm so close” Emily pleads. “Yes. Fuck. I'm going to. I'm trying to hold off,” I gasp. “Fuck. When I start moving, I'm going to fuck you senseless, and I know it won't last long,” I explain. “I don't care! Fuck me!” she cries, wrapping her arms around my neck and holding on tight. Watching her face, I start to move. The expression of relief and pleasure I see there weakens my knees. “That's it, Emily. This is for you. Enjoy me,” I encourage her, feeling my orgasm back off with a suddenly increased sense of duty to deliver for Emily. I lean back and reach between us to press my thumb lightly above her clit, watching my cock slide in and out of her weeping pussy. She feels so fucking good, so responsive, so going to make me cum in her before I want to. “Oh, Dean. Dean. Dean,” she begins to moan, drunk with pleasure on my fat cock. “It feels so good, Dean. You just don't know how long it's been. You. Just. Don't. Know,” she whimpers in time with my strokes. “Oh, I know, baby. I know. I can feel how long it's been. Just enjoy it. Let me make you feel good. You're getting close. I can feel it and see it on your face. Give it to me. Let me have it. I've got you,” I tell her. With one thumb on her clit and two fingers squeezing one of her nipples, I watch Emily Masterson fall apart on my dick. Her skin flushes and seemingly every muscle in her core flutters and then contracts hard, pulsing on my cock, encouraging me to fuck and fill her. And that's exactly what I do. As she is still quaking on my cock, I begin to take what I want. I pull her hips further off the counter and down onto the full length of my dick. Pumping her drenched pussy relentlessly and watching those incredible tits bounce, I know I'm about to cum. “Fuck, you feel so good. So tight. So needy. I'm so deep in you, Emily. I'm fucking you in an exam room, and I'm going to cum inside you,” I groan with my forehead against hers. “YES!” She screams. “Fuck me, Dean! Give it to me.” And then I feel the tightening, the tingle, the crash of the first wave, and I'm coming inside her. Pulse after pulse of relief, I pump into her. “Hmm. Yes, Dean,” Emily moans. “That's what I want. Fill me with your cum. Oh, yes. You feel so good. THIS feels so good.” “Oh, fuck. Yes. Take it, Emily.” I demand. “Oh, yes! Cum in me. Give me what I need, Dean!” She screamed as pulse after pulse of my rigid cock emptied my seed deep into her pussy. I run my hands down her body, trailing kisses across her breasts and nipples and up to her neck, moaning and groaning in satisfaction. Panting, we lean against each other and soak up the release, giggling at the occasional tremor of aftershock. And then there is nothing but the sound of our breathing and the HVAC system. Emily eventually breaks the silence by asking, “Do you still want to hear the final to do on my list?” “That wasn't it?” I laugh. “Well, kind of, but I was actually hoping we could do it more than once,” she begins to explain. “Dear god. Are you serious?” I interrupt, still shamefully trying to catch my breath. “Haha. I know you aren't 18 anymore, Dean,” she says, as she begins putting back on her clothes. “Neither am I,” she continued, “but I do want an arrangement between us. No strings attached. Just regular lunch time fucking. At my house. I'm not far from here, I work from home and live alone. I plan for all of those things to stay true. So, if you'd like to do that, and maybe more, again, starting Monday, come any day you like. Just text me that morning.” And then she grabs her purse, kisses me deeply and walks out without a second glance. I stand in exam room #2 for a few more seconds, catching my breath and making sure that I'm not dreaming. Daily, no strings attached incredible fucking? Jesus Christ, could that be possible? I disinfect all of the equipment and furniture, walk back to my private office and sit down to enjoy a tumbler of whiskey and a cigar. With plenty of time before my staff comes back, I open the practice scheduling software and mark my lunch hour as “Out of Office” for the foreseeable future. SMS: If the offer is still good, I'll be there just after 12 today SMS: Perfect After living in this area my entire life, I cannot believe what I am seeing. I have driven down this road nearly every day of my life, and I have never noticed this driveway. Quickly swallowed up by a giant azalea hedgerow and leyland cypress trees, my truck disappears from view, and I am rolling down a winding driveway towards a sprawling, mid-century ranch. I am about to pull into the garage of an old flame, THE old flame, really. She showed back up after a very high profile divorce and is laying low in the woods, apparently. She seduced me in my office three days ago. We are both adults. So naturally, I'm already back for more. SMS: Garage. Close the door behind you There is plenty of room for my truck next to Emily's Mercedes. I close the garage door and walk into her house. The house is beautiful – open and minimalist in style. Or maybe she just hasn't finished buying décor? Either way, I like it. I scan the kitchen and adjoining den for Emily and hear her coming down the hall from what I assume must be the bedroom wing of the house. “Dean! What a great way to start the week. It's so good to see you,” Emily announces, walking towards me in a long, black robe and throwing her arms around my neck. She smells and feels so good. By the time I realize I'm grasping her ass cheeks with both hands, Emily is laughing. “Oh, this is going to be excellent,” she chuckles between kisses. “Now, before we do anything else, I have an idea about something, but you have to promise that you will tell the 100% truth,” she teases. “Tell you the 100% truth about what?” I ask. “Well, I have a hunch, and if I'm right, it's going to decide something for me,” she explains. Not wanting to be a killjoy, I hesitantly agree, “OK. I'll play. I'll be honest.” Wrapping her naked arms and legs around me and pressing my head down into her cleavage, Emily kisses the top of my head and whispers, “How long has it been since you've had a blowjob?” I tense with humiliation, but then let out a long sigh, holding my head against her chest, kissing her lightly and considering. “Oh, fuck, Emily” I laugh. “I'm wounded. Was it that obvious?” “Welllllllll, I've never known any man to refuse a blowjob, especially not you. In fact, I've never known anyone who loves them more than you. So, yeah, it was weird. But then I wondered if maybe it was something you wanted to keep only for your wife…” I can't help but make an involuntary laughing sound. “which I would completely understand,” she finished softly. “Yeah, no,” I begin, chuckling now. “If she remembers what a blowjob is, she is not giving them to me and hasn't in many years.” “Ok. Well, that's perfect then,” she notes, smiling and wriggling to stand down on the floor. “So, what did my answer decide?” I ask, laughingly. “Oh, I was wondering if you'd remember that part,” she begins, reaching for my belt. “Your answer decided what I'm going to do to you first,” she continues, kneeling in front of me and freeing my rigid member. I'm too stunned for eloquence. I am watching a beautiful woman get on her knees to suck my cock, and I don't have to buy her anything or apologize for wanting it. She just wants to suck my cock because it will make me feel good. “HOLY. SHIT.” I choke out, as Emily licks around the head of my cock and then up and down my shaft. “Umm. I always did love sucking your dick. It's so fucking hot how turned on you get,” she murmurs from my crotch. When she next takes the engorged head of my cock into her mouth with a vibrating moan, I have to put my hand on the kitchen counter to steady myself. It's sensory overload. Warm suction and pressure on my dick, hand on my balls, gorgeous woman actually wanting to suck my dick, moaning, sucking, wet. “Oh, fuck, Emily. That feels incredible,” I groan, throwing my head back and enjoying the sensations. And there is nothing but a moan of encouragement from Emily, as she begins to work the head and shaft in unison. “Oh, yes, baby. Suck my fucking dick. That's it. That's how it's done. Jesus Christ, do you know how to suck cock,” I begin to ramble deliriously. Emily cannot help but laugh and reply, “There you are.” “Oh, fuck yeah, baby. Your mouth feels incredible. And your eyes looking up at me. Holy shit. Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck. I'm getting close. Fuck. Slow down,” I demand, attempting to push at Emily's head. “No, no, now. No way,” she keeps her hand locked on my shaft. “Let's get this out of the way. Give it to me. Cum in my mouth, and let me hear how good it feels” she purrs. “Good fuck, Emily. You are so hot. Keeping sucking it just like that. Oh, god. Oh god. That's it. Oh, god. Emily. I'm going to cum down your throat. FUCK, it feels so good. FUCK. That's it. Oh, god. I'm cumming. I'm cumming, Emily. I'm cumming down your throat,” I finish in a grunted whisper, thrusting into her mouth. Emily sucks me clean and stands with a smile, while I am still clutching the counter for support and trying to catch my breath. “Jesus Christ, Emily. That was incredible,” I groan to her appreciatively as she moves to make drinks. “Whiskey neat?” she asks. “Perfect, but make it fast, and get your ass back in here,” I bark. “Oh, bossy. You're going to give me shivers,” Emily teases with a grin, handing me the whiskey glass and curling up on the sleek leather sectional. “So, how was work this morning?” she asks. “Um, the sex part of this is not over yet, my friend. It's not time to talk shop. It's time for you to come sit next to me.” Surprisingly, she moved without argument. “Oh, that's much better. Yes, ma'am. Right next to me, and then swing those beautiful legs into my lap,” I direct her. While we sipped our drinks in the quiet, I ran my hand softly down the expanse of her toned legs, slowly inching higher inside her thighs, watch her body tense and relax as I approach and avoid her core. When I hear a low moan escape her lips, I quickly change drink hands and give myself better access to her pussy, sliding my hand up to cup her mound. She bucks beneath me with a groan, wanting more pressure. I move between her thighs and lean down to suck each of her nipples deep and hard, earning two low moans from Emily, as she begins to writhe beneath me. Isolating her swollen clit, not too quick, and not hard enough to get her there fast, I lean into her ear: “Did you really think I was going to leave without getting some of this sweet pussy?” I bite on her earlobe and dip two fingers inside. “Oh, baby. You are so wet,” I purr into her ear. “Are you going to cum for me, sweet girl?” I tease. “Oh, my god, Dean. Oh, you always know just what to do,” she whispers, nearly delirious with need. There it is. I could see the flush spread across her skin as I spread her with my cock. “Yes, Dean! Oh, my God. It feels so good. Ah. Oh, Dean, I'm going to cum,” Emily murmurs just before she tenses and closes her eyes. “You look so good cumming around my cock, Emily,” I groan into her ear. “I want to fuck you all day, just so I can watch you cum.” “Oh, god. I hope you do,” Emily assures me. “You feel so good. I feel like I might cry or laugh, or both.” “I think you're cock drunk.” I chuckle between thrusts. “That's fine. Guilty. Whatever. Just keep fucking me. My god, it just feels so good… ” Trailing my hand up her neck and into her hair, I slowly make a fist and pull Emily taught. Nipping her earlobe and increasing the pace on her clit, I admire the wanton woman beneath me. We are fucking for mutual pleasure. What a gift. And when I see that sweet flush start to rise in her skin, I quicken my pace and give in to the tightening in my balls. “Oh, Dean. I'm so close,” Emily pants. “Oh, fuck, yes. Give it to me, Emily” I demand. And she does. Waves of pleasure roll through her body, massaging my cock buried deep inside her. I can't help but tip over the edge watching her embrace her orgasm. And I hope to god I'm not dreaming, because this is fantastic. “Oh, wow. That was JUST what I needed. I don't think I realized how hard up I really was,” she laughs from beneath her curtain of hair. “Yeah, that quickie on Friday was definitely not enough for me. I was counting the minutes until I could get here.” “Not me,” she quips. “I didn't think about it at all, actually. Forgot until just before you pulled… ” “Bullshit!” I laugh and smack her on the ass. Emily laughs and blushes and moves to pour us another drink. “The shower is through there, if you'd like. I'll be heading back up to my office. I trust you can see yourself out?” she asks as a statement. “Yes, ma'am,” I respond sarcastically, somewhat hurt by her coldness. “Listen. You and I both know this is already dangerous territory. Let's hold off falling in love again for as long as possible.” And she was right, of course. by RubyRyan for Literotica

Jockey Tyler Gaffalione will discuss Sierra Leone, who is one of the top contenders not only in the Blue Grass but also for the Derby. Stanley Cup champion and horseplayer Eddie Olczyk takes the long view of betting this Derby season as well as his strategy for playing handicapping contests like the National Horseplayers Championship, where we caught up with him last month in Las Vegas. Super Screener creator Mike Shutty offers tips for the Blue Grass, the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct and the Santa Anita Derby, the races that will send top finishers to Churchill Downs in just four weeks.

Fanning The Flames and Nipping The Bud Wouldn't it be great to have a metaphor and use it for two things not just one? We all have issues (don't we? or is it just me?) that if we dealt with them early would never become an issue and Don't we all get those intuitive idea moments when we look back and say if only I had acted on them - Or is that just me again?   :O) In this episode, I think I have found a way to do both, deal with issues quickly and act upon those moments of inspiration. I'll also mix up my metaphors which I think will really get into both your conscious and unconscious minds and you will begin to act and make so many positive changes in your life. The best thing is you will be taking responsibility for both nipping your negative issues before they start to take hold and fanning the motivation to create success.

Genuine question. How are you today? Is there any smoke with your fire, or is there any fire with your smoke? Not quite sure which way that goes. No smoke without fire or no fire without smoke? I think it's smoke without fire, isn't it? I don't, know. It's just one of those things that people say, and it's normally directed at people, who have been accused of something, isn't it? And  whether they're guilty, whether they're innocent. They always say, well, there's no smoke without fire. And I don't think that's particularly useful. I don't know what it does. I don't know whether it just makes people just something to talk about, I guess. And that, to me, isn't useful. But I thought about this saying, no smoke without fire, because I wanted to change it to ourselves. What would happen if we took that sentence, no smoke without fire in relations to both issues, our issues, yours and mine, and dreams, dreams, goals, things like that, those type of dreams. Not the sleepy night. Night dreams. I, know you're saying, I even wrote in my notes, ffs. Cloughie. What? But maybe you'll just say it more precisely and neatly at that, saying, what are you talking about? Cluffy. And you would, and you could. No smoke without fire. Let's turn it onto ourselves, because that's what we're talking about today Let's turn it onto ourselves, because that's what we're going to be talking about today, turning this particular phrase onto our dreams and onto our issues. And how can we use it? Because I think it's great. Because, you see, before the flame, I think there always is just a little smoke. I can see when you're, when you're lighting a fire, yes, there's obviously the flame to start it, but it's only a tiny little flame on that kindle. And then it begins to smoke, and then the wind gets it, fans it, doesn't it? And then the flames come. And if it. If I'm totally wrong, I'm, not. Because this is my metaphor, okay? And in my metaphor, there's a little bit of smoke before it goes into a flame Every issue starts off small, and most of the time it does So having said that into my metaphor, what am I talking about? Well, I'm going to say the issues, they always start off small. Now, I, know that's a real generality, a big generality. Every issue starts off small, and most of the time it does. Okay? You might get a significant emotional event that really kicks off something, and we can deal with those. But I'm not talking about those type of ones. I'm talking the ones that just smolder. Or in another metaphor, like a little snowball. If you were at the top of a hill and you just got a little bit of snow, because there's snow on the hill, by the way, all the way down, and you made a little snowball, as big as your hand, and you put it at the top of the hill and you just tipped it. And because it's my metaphor, it begins to roll all by itself. And as it begins to roll slowly down that hill, it begins to gather more snow and gets bigger. And you don't really notice that it's getting bigger. but it just is because it's just picking up little bits as it goes along. I, know on this snowball, there's a lovely positive intention. I'll explain what I'm talking about in a minute because I know this is quite random, but the snowball just keeps doing the same thing, keeps picking up more and more, getting bigger and bigger. And you see that snowball, that's the start of the issue, by the way. Could be way, way back, way, way back to something so small that if you were to know about it now, you'd go, m, okay, I can see how that would have affected me or affected somebody else. If you were like a therapist and you're looking at somebody else's issue, yeah, that's a small thing, but if I was that age again, it would affect me the same. It would be not highly significant, but it would have had that effect. It would have had an effect on me where my unconscious mind would have said, oh, I didn't really like that feeling very much. So it's that type of. It's not hugely traumatic. It's just don't really like that. I'm going to do something for you. Positive intention. I want to keep you safe and away from those type of feelings. And that's what it does. And then as it rolls down the hill, it finds more events which are similar. So it generalizes itself into more areas of your life, trying to protect you, keeping you safe from that feeling. But now it's generalized it into different areas of your life, and it just keeps going. And every time something comes along which is similar, it triggers, it kicks it in. And sometimes you don't notice it until maybe now, or something is starting to get to you, and you start to say, well, I'm starting to feel anxious so much more often now, or every time I see that person, or every time I think about that particular thing. I never used to get this anxious. Oh, my confidence has gone now. Oh, No, I'm going to have to try to find an excuse. Oh, could I just put it off a little bit? What am I going to do? And then you start thinking, well, I've got to do it. And then to try to come up with the best solution, you think of all the things that could go wrong in an effort, unconsciously, to make you aware of all the things that could go wrong in every event. Then you get your overwhelm, and then you go, oh, no. Then you get panic at that. It just goes on, doesn't it? Say, can you see how that snowball just got bigger and bigger? But what would happen, do you think, if we could nip that smoke in the bud? Mixed metaphors. Good. We love mixed metaphors. But if you could nip that smoke in the bud, you can imagine. And, how do you do that? That's a learning thing. If you were to learn as soon as possible what your unconscious mind is trying to do, and then realize that it's no longer working, it's no longer appropriate. The behaviors, the thoughts, the emotions are no longer appropriate, and they're not really protecting you, you could come up with a different sequence, a different way to keep you safe. Yeah, you could, couldn't you? So how do we nip this smoke in the bud for me? You see, these are just simple little ways. And in simple, I'm going to say that really properly, in simplicity, there is genius. Because we don't have to go through all the high, convoluted, complicated ways which sometimes abound. This bloody industry. Sometimes it's just sitting down quietly and reviewing your week We pair it back to simples, and sometimes it's for me, and I guess it is for you, too. You could just review. What do you mean, Cloughie? Well, this is what I mean. Sometimes it's just sitting down quietly and you could do it daily. Oh, no, not this thing. You could ask me to write it down. Cloughie, maybe, maybe. But sometimes just review. How have I been behaving? How I've been thinking. I'd say this again, my words. How have I been talking to myself? And you see, once you realize that, because you could well be. You're having great times and this isn't. Issues can be good, by the way. We can have good issues and not so good issues. So the good issues, we want to keep that snowball running and getting bigger. And obviously, if they're negative issues, we want to stop it there and then. So we could just sit down, maybe sometimes just once a week, as we're doing our review of the week and looking for the next week, just sitting down and going, how am I happy the way I'm behaving? Because sometimes I'd go, and this is personal, I don't tell anybody, and I'm working on this. I used to get really angry about things. And the anger wouldn't just be in my head. It wouldn't be just the pictures I made. It wouldn't be just the words that I said to myself, maybe about myself or other people. They would come out, I'd express it, and I'd express it either verbally or nonverbally now, passive aggressive and all that shit. And if I didn't catch myself there and then. Because normally it's quite difficult, isn't it? When you're in the bottle, reading the label is bloody difficult. I love that little metaphor there. But when you're in that situation, it's very difficult to suddenly just stand aside and look at yourself and go, what a dick. But that's what I do when I review my week. I look at myself, how did I behave? How did I think? Cloughie, that was a dick move, really was. And if I think about it, and this is the thing, if it's a negative thing, well, it can be negative or positive because it's great to do this. What are the consequences? What were the consequences right then What are the consequences? We've talked about this before in that, anger, letting go of anger, dealing with anger. What are the consequences? What were the consequences right then? How did it affect other people? How did it affect myself? We don't have to go way into the future because we're going to nip it in the bud. Remember? Nip that flame in the bud. how would it affect. How did it affect other people? How did it affect myself? And be really honest, and when I call myself a dick, it's a nice little term of a thought, but I know I was being a dick, and I know I'm better than that, and I know the consequences that it had with other people, and I know if I really thought about it, but I'm not going to. If I carried on being like that, it's just going to get worse. And, when it gets worse, it's going to get worse for me, going to get worse for the other people in my life. And I don't want to think about those consequences because I'm going to nip this in the bud and I'll try to come up with a quick process. So maybe I would just begin to see. And there's a lovely NLP process, and it's like called dealing with criticism, but it's not because you're criticizing yourself, but effectively you are looking at, that memory that you have and just saying, well, if you take out all the emotion, what can I learn from this? How could I do it differently? How could I have done it differently? And then you go, well, I could have done this, this, and this. Okay, let's imagine that scene being that way. What emotion would I have had that would have been a better emotion? What behavior, if I used that behavior, would be a better behavior. What belief would be a better belief to have about myself and other people in that situation? And then just play it in your mind. Did I say that, correctly? Play it out in your mind, and it doesn't matter. As you know, if it's not 2020 vision, just be aware of how it could feel if you played it out differently. And then this or something better. Lovely little saying. And you do that a couple of times and you can make a few notes if you want. Yes, write that sucker down. Maybe you want to go to, you need a process, another process, a free hypnosis or NLP process. Where do you get those from? Cloughie? You ask as if you didn't know. Paulcluffonline.com podcast. And there's 60, I think there's 60 something, free hypnosis and LLP tracks. There's one there which would give you something to use. Basically, you go down that list, because I know any one of those would help you, but you go down that list and you go, ah, that one jumps out at me. Set your intention. I want to nip this flame in the bud. Press play. And notice how things change when you come out of that hypnosis. Or you finish that NLP process. And then what you do once you've done that. You email me feedback at personal developmentunplug.com and say, hey, Cloughie, this is what happened. It was awesome. It was brilliant. These are the things I changed that would be nicer. But if you could just email me your results or the things that you noticed, maybe just right after the hypnosis or maybe a few days after when you review how, you've been, I notice I've been so much different, a little bit different. And then we can work on that, because if you get good results on one of those processes, we can then share it with other people through another episode, maybe explain that process even more. I know it comes from, one of the previous podcasts, but we can go into it deep a bit more deeply, maybe m more differently. It'll always be different because I'm a different person now than I was back then when I did it. And your statements and your email will get me to think of it in a different way. So we could do that, couldn't we? The other thing you can do is think about others. How are they acting And all you could do now here's the other thing that's personal review. The other thing I wanted you to think about, and I've seen this so many times, is thinking about others. How are they acting? Because you won't be able to get in their head about what they believe and their emotions, and the positive intention and all that stuff, what they're going through. The only thing you can measure them on is their behavior, isn't it? So how are they behaving? Behaving, and that could be words, could be nonverbal, verbal tonation, the things that say, but just notice how, are they behaving? And if things are fine, absolutely fine and dandy, but if you notice something that isn't quite right, just a little bit, because we've all seen, I think, that people who have had suddenly, or their case is like suddenly they have a bad issue and things are bad for them. It didn't start that way, did it? It was that snowball slowly growing. So it started a long time ago, but now you're seeing the full effects of it. And I've seen it so many times that people say, well, I noticed a little about a year ago they were a little bit weird, and now they're really suffering. Well, if we could have nipped that flame in the bud a year ago by saying things like, hey, friend, how you really doing? Do you mind m me saying, and I'm going to be really brave here, that I don't think you're handling it handling things as well as you like. You don't look comfortable. Is there something I can help you with? Even if it's only an ear, I don't want to give you advice, so I'm not qualified. But if you just want an ear to verbalize, to speak, maybe you could say, well, listen to personal development, unplugged and things like that. But you'll have a whole array of the things that you know that have helped you. And I think that's the best type of advice you can give. Sometimes those people are not aware of the problems that you've encountered and the problems that you have got over. You have snipped and snubbed, snipped and snubbed, nipped that little smoke and flame in the bud. Because you can say, well, I notice you just not feel you're not looking and coming across comfortable. And, when I was feeling that something similar a couple of years ago, I remember it felt, and you just be very gent, be very genuine, describe how you felt. And this is what I did. And it did take a little bit of time, but I was so pleased that I did it because now I feel great. And just by saying and being a little bit, in the wonderful words of vulnerability, just being that little bit vulnerable because it's okay, you're okay now. You're just showing what can be done. And you're showing that you're kind and that kindness and that sharing. We're going to talk about sharing, not the sharing I'm going to talk about at the end, but, a different type of sharing in a minute. It will make such a difference. So you could put your story for them by nipping in the bud. I mean, I had loads of stuff that's happened to me, something that really took me well out of. Out of being a sensible person. And I did some stuff and, I will talk about it one day, but I did loads of stuff. And there was one thing that really helped me and I realized that my journaling is something similar by just talking to myself, but getting it out there. But I'll talk about that another day. But you can tell people your story by being kind. And I'm not putting off telling you about it, by the way. It's just that, time wouldn't allow us at the moment. So that's what you can do with issues. But you see, we've had, nip it, nub it in the bud. But now there's a thing I'd like to fan. What again? Clavy yeah. Ideas are like clouds floating by, so what do you do with them I'm now talking about the dreams bit. The dreams are goals. You see, I heard a lovely metaphor, and it was about how your ideas come. And it was explained or said that ideas are like a cloud or clouds floating by. Now, I'm here looking at that cloud from this place, and I see it in one plane, as it were. I see it in this, from this direction. But someone could be a few miles away, and they see in that cloud in a completely different way. And those ideas can be seen differently by anyone and everyone. And as you look at that cloud, that idea, that inspiration, suddenly it could inspire you. I just got this idea. I just got this thought. I don't know why. Whoo. Now, you see, if you don't do something about that, what happens to clouds? Well, they change, don't they? They either change in their shape and their size, or they just go back into that big bank of clouds, or they just bloody disappear, don't they? And isn't that like ideas? We get that little bit of inspiration. We get that thought of, oh, what if I did this? And then you go home, you get interrupted, interrupted by life, and then you sit down and you go, I wonder what that idea, what was it? Well, and then something else comes and interrupts that thought. And by that time, that pattern interrupt has knocked that blooming idea, that inspiration, out of the blue. But it's just a tiny idea, isn't it? Tiny bit of inspiration. Now, what would happen if we could fan it so it becomes a fire burning, wonderful, warm inspiration. So you have to take a picture of that bloody cloud. Take a photograph of it. Now you're saying to me, now, cluffy, how am I going to take a photograph of an idea which you're telling me is a metaphor, or in the metaphor is a cloud? Because they're just snippets of things that come into my head, aren't they? So what are you going to do? Write that sucker down? You know the answer now. You can write it down in so many different ways. You could have a little card that you just carry one card per day, you carry in your pocket with a pen, and you get anything, you just write that down. Because that card is same as having a little notebook. I've got big enough pockets for a notebook. You have for a little card. And they only have to be small. I've got loads of them. And I'm looking at one now in front of me, where we're writing notes about speaking Spanish and things like that. And I think it's an inch and a half by two, they'll fit in your pocket. I mean, you carry around a phone. Well, most of us do. We've got our, mobile phone. Now. They have things like a recording facility. So you could quickly say it out loud into your phone and then come back. And when you're ready, like a review, you review the notes you've made, or you've got things like, I, don't know, evernote, notepad, anything at all that you could write a note on your phone for later. And it doesn't have to be a million things. It's like a metaphor. You write down the tiny little bits, the most colorful little bits that will spark your brain into action when you read it. Now, you could have a dream book, an ideas book. And when you come back, you get your card out, you get your phone out, you look at evernote, you listen to your recording, your notepad or whatever. You have that bloody serviet that you wrote a note on while you're in the coffee house or something like that. And you write it in your dream book. Now, you may have time to explore it there and then that night, but it doesn't matter now because you've written, written rotten, that sucker down. So you can explore it. And it's good to leave it. Sometimes there's so many brilliant writers who would, instead of finishing off the writing they're doing at the end of a paragraph or finish a chapter, they would leave it mid sentence, mid chapter, mid paragraph. And what, they come back following day and their unconscious mind has worked on it because it gets so blowing. You can set your unconscious mind away by just leaving a, question unanswered. Do that so much. In my work with clients, in therapy, I get them to think of things in different days by not answering the question. And their unconscious mind has to answer it for them. And that's what we do there. So we all do a little bit of work with our dream book and then leave a question. I wonder how this could be even better. Close the book. Leave it till you, till you come back. And guess what? Your pen will start writing, your thoughts will come, and then you review it again. And maybe you'll take that dream, one of them, because you've had aha, huh? And I say that again, an, aha moment. And in fact, sometimes if you go back to some of your aha, moments, the ones that really stuck with you are the ones that you acted upon. Now, you don't know if one of these little intuitions this little idea you have will become that wonderful, aha, moment. So write that sucker down, review it, work on it, let it enrich itself over time. Because I know that there'll be times when it just doesn't seem the right thing to do. But you haven't forgotten it, because I, know, I've gone through my books and I've gone, wow, this is two or three years ago, I found one of my notebooks, flick. Oh, I could do that now. And all of a sudden you started again. So that would be brilliant, wouldn't it? So now we can explore it, make it more colorful, enrich in it, ask, wonderful questions like what are the consequences if I could develop this? I wonder if there's a process that will help me. What is a strategy I could use? Do I know any more? Anyone who's done something similar like this? How could I talk about this? And this is a sharing bit, because we can explore, we schedule it, we work on it, we use processes to develop our, imagination. We start a schedule of actions. But then there's a thing, you could share it, because most people don't share their ideas. Because if I have an idea and I give it to you, you'll take it and use it. It's only a bloody idea. And if they did use it, they're not going to use it the same as you because they don't have your same experience, your same knowledge or what have you. So they'll have different things to bring to it. But here's the thing, and this is the lovely little metaphor that, another one, it's packed of metaphors today, isn't it? If I have a dollar, a pound, a piece of currency, a euro, and I've got one of those and I give it to you, what happens? I always ask you to share this episode. Not because of my ego Well, you're better off by a euro, a dollar or a pound. And, I'm less, I haven't got it anymore. But if you give an idea, share an idea, you still retain that idea. You still got it, you've just shared it. And by the act of sharing, it helps you fill it out a little bit, helps you to understand. We talk about, to know that the best way to learn is to tell people what you've learned. Because then you reinforce what you've learned. Well, it's the same with an idea. It might fill itself, might enrich in itself as you do that act of sharing, because someone might say, oh, that's interesting. What about you? Whoa. Yeah, what about that? And I'll take that away. With me, because they have that idea that you've given them. You have that idea, so you still got the idea, and so have they. Whether they do anything with it doesn't matter. But what will probably happen, because they're, someone of your respect. They'll probably say, I've been thinking about what you said. Have you ever thought about this? What about this? Now you might find now you've got a collaborator, someone who can inspire you, hold you accountable. Or they could just be someone who gives you even more things to think about to make this dream really come to fruition. And you've still got that idea. So share ideas. And when we share ideas, it becomes something wonderful. Because when you think about it, that idea was given to you from somewhere. You didn't have to pay for it. It was shared and shown with you, and you took it. And that idea is going around. Other people can get hold of it, too, or see it from a different angle. And it's that sharing gets you to be able to see it from a different angle through somebody's eyes without you having to do anything. What a wonderful thing to do. So you fan that bloody smoke to fan that flame, and you get others to help fan it, too, maybe. And you share. And that's why I always ask you to share this episode. Share the personal development unplugged podcast. Not because of my ego, but because I honestly believe that it would help somebody. May not resonate with everybody. And, I know it doesn't, but if it just helps one person per episode, I'm good with that, because I think you could do a lot more than that. But if you could just share that and get them to share it, we're going to make ripples and also share your experiences with me. As I said, personal developmentunplugged.com. That's the email address. Go to the website. There's a contact page there as well. I'm the only bugger who gets them. So we can share our thoughts, share your needs, your wants. Because it gets my brain to think of things and come up with something and sharing it back with you. So I don't keep your thoughts, I share them back. we've had podcast episodes solely on the questions from you, and they've created some great things. And I know they've helped that person who sent that email in. Guess what? When it happens, they normally get a copy of the audio before it even comes out. So they get to get to listen to it and work on their issue way before it's out, because I think that's worth it. So you've got that, so there it all is. And by the way, there's a subscribe and all that stuff. You know how to do that. Please. It'd be wonderful if you did, because then every Wednesday we get that little musing and every Saturday we've got the longer podcast. And if you want to know about if you're new here, by the way, I've decided to put what this blooming old podcast is about at the end. So after you hear flying, then you can have a little description, a little indication of what we're all about here. Anyway, I hope I've made perfect sense. Well, it won't be perfect. I hope I've made some sense, been able to articulate a little bit better than normal. Tried to, that was my intention. And I'd love to hear about your ideas. I'd love to hear how we've nipped those issues in the bud or we've helped somebody. I'd love to hear that. I'd love to hear your celebrations and your successes. That makes my heart jump. Thank you so much for your time. I really enjoy doing this. I joy being in your ear and in your head. Paul Clough launches personal development unplugged podcast So now, my friends, as usual, have more fun than you can stand, and it's time to fly. Warn you are now leaving the unclothed mind of Paul Clough. It's time to fly on your own. Be brave, my friend. Personal development unplugged hey, welcome. Welcome to the Personal Development Unplugged podcast. So, pleased you're here. Your time is valuable and precious. So what I would like to do is fill that time that you share with me with the most shiny golden nuggets to help improve your life, to get your goals, your wishes, your dreams to come to fruition quicker, bigger, better than you could ever imagine. Using your imagination, using hypnosis, using NLP, neurolinguistic programming, all of that, using all things of the mind, no brain hacks, but real solid processes to deconstruct what people do to become great, and then find the processes that we can install that in ourselves to support you in your dreams and get what you really want in life. Anyway, who am I? I'm Paul, Paul Clough. And just going to have conversations with you in this podcast and get you thinking, but also share those processes because we're going to have so much fun. That's it. We're going to have fun for a change. Because we can sit down for a spell and have more fun than we can stand creating the world we want to live in and be the person we want to be in that world. The only limitation, the only limitation is your imagination. And you got bucket loads, by the way. Bucket loads. Have a listen. You really must.

Spooky season is here, so it seems fitting to share a horror story. Because there's a monster draining time and energy from most of our organizations. This sneaky shapeshifter can take any form, show up at any time, and is one of the more destructive, chaotic forces we're forced to deal with at work. We're talking about the monster that is org debt—and HR has been trapped in a maze with it for decades. Worse still, the maze's towering walls and serpentine corridors come from outdated policies and processes HR largely built themselves. And it's historically been impossible for many leaders to find the time to clean up org debt—or even know where to look for it. In this miniseries, Brave New Work's Rodney Evans is joined by friend-of-the-pod and Ready OG Sam Spurlin to dive into how HR can become more resilient, efficient, and equitable. Today on episode 10, they help you learn how to identify org debt, shine a light on its hiding places, measure what it's really costing us, and start eliminating it from your organization for good. Mentioned references: The Ready's video about Org Debt Marie Kondo Murmur Meg's episode about centralization/decentralization: FoHR Miniseries Ep. 3 Zapier "MBT" (Mission-based Team) "MVP" (Minimum Viable Product) Ali Randel, partner at The Ready Gary Hamel and Michele Zanini, authors of Humanocracy, where the org debt annual cost is attributed -------------- Learn more about The Future of HR at our website.

Visit us at shapedbydog.com    How to help frightened and anxious dogs is a question I receive frequently, so I'm diving into identifying and overcoming canine fears and phobias that often lead to withdrawal or reactivity. Today's focus is on overlooked reasons dogs become fearful and what you need to know about anxiety. It's important to recognize a dog's fear triggers and the role we might play in unconsciously creating stress.   In this episode you'll hear:   •  Overlooked triggers to many dogs' fears. • Natural dog fears during certain life stages. • The difference between alert, excited or anxious dog behavior. • How genetics predispose some breeds to fear or confidence. • That animals inherit generational trauma, too. • How events, medical conditions and lack of education can create fear in dogs. • How spaying may impact a female dog's hormones. • How gut health impacts animal behavior and emotions. • The effect of EMF's on dogs and animals. • How dogs absorb and internalize human emotions. • How to decode your dog's body language. • Why we should observe how our reactions impact our dogs.   Resources:   1.

Temptations are things we desire to do, but are also things we deem wrong or unwise. Temptations take us away from who we want to be in life. Temptations start off harmless, but have a tendency to grow without notice, until we are living an incorrect life. I argue that we must learn to stop problematic distractions early, by replacing our damaging preoccupations with more productive and authentic actions.Support the show

They are old friends and they need the same thing - relief.by RubyRyan. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.“It was nice to see you too, Mrs. Smith, and I will definitely tell my Mama you asked about her,” I crooned, guiding one of my many little, old ladies towards the exit of my practice. I hope she can't smell the alcohol I'm sweating out, but honestly, she's a vintage Southerner. She'd never point out something like that.Mrs. Smith continued, “I always look forward to this appointment. You're just the most wonderful young man with the best manners.”“Well, thank you, Mrs. Smith. I am hardly a young man any longer, but I do appreciate the compliment.”It's Friday. I'm hungover. I haven't gotten laid in weeks. WEEKS. This moment feels like hell. I need to be finished walking this patient out (Why am I even doing this?), get my keys, and hit the Waffle House, maybe even a nap in my car. I am not going to make it like this.I'm pretty sure Mrs. Johnson was still talking when I closed her passenger side door. I pretended not to notice and backed away, smiling and waving.Jogging past the front desk, I let our receptionist know that I'm heading out for a long lunch.“I have some things to do, so I'll be gone a while,” I mumble distractedly.“Well, I hate to tell you this, but you still have one appointment before lunch,” Sarah laughs.Sarah is the receptionist. Sarah is in her twenties and does not get hangovers, and I don't think she really hates to tell me that. I hate Sarah right now.“No fucking way!” I bark.“Yep. And here she comes,” Sarah said, raising her eyebrows and cutting her eyes to the door.I don't even bother to look. I turn on my heel and head for my office. I have to get a Coke and something to eat. I don't care who she is.The second gulp of full-test Coke starts to slow the tremble in my hands. Jerky. Peanut butter & cheese crackers. A few burps. I cannot keep this up. I feel like shit.With my head on my desk, I make a promise I've made many times before: I am 42 years old. Tonight I will go to bed early. I won't get mad when my wife rejects my advances, and I won't pick a fight over it. I won't get drunk and sleep on the couch. I'll just be a well-rested, miserable guy who isn't getting laid. Just a man who makes all the money for all the things but can't get his dick wet. Fuck my life.Just then, Sarah texts to let me know that my patient is in Room #2.Great.Stretch. Face slaps. Eye drops. Deep breath.I just need to get through this last appointment, and then I'll be home free to the weekend.I open the door to the exam room and see a face I've seen many times before.“Emily. Wow! It's so good to see you. How did I not realize you were coming in?” I close the door behind me and plop down on my rolling chair.Emily is a very old friend. Well, really more than a friend. We were couple friends when we were all first married, but before that, Emily and I had spent a great deal of time dry humping and groping each other starting the Summer after high school graduation, pretty much every time we were home from college, and then until we both married other people. God, what great memories - so many blowjobs and hand jobs, so much heavy breathing and desire, coaxing her from one base to the next. Jesus, I felt like a god the first time she let me touch those amazing tits. And then teaching her how to suck my cock. Fuck. How did I never get in her panties? Jesus, what a waste! And here I am now, in my 40s, still not getting laid and still mentally dry humping Emily Masterson. Ugh.“Hi, there. It's ok. I'm sure the last name threw you off,” she replied sweetly.Rolling over to her on my chair, I glance down and pretend to examine the name on the file with a chuckle, “Yeah, I guess so. I haven't known an Emily Masterson in what, 20 years?”She blushes and laughs, wringing her hands in her lap, “Oh, my god. It's so funny to think of the Emily Masterson you knew then.”Oh, she is adorable and clearly nervous about something. I'm close enough now to see the flush of her skin, and the outline of those tits, and smell her perfume. Um. Fuck. It's a good thing I still have this stupid folder in my lap. I'm hard just sitting here next to her.Eighteen year old Emily Masterson was certainly more confident, but not much else has changed - small, long brown hair, green eyes, and that same glorious rack. Wearing skinny jeans, boots, and a fitted black turtleneck, she looks really good. Nothing over the top, but a clearly put together woman.She would look better naked and bouncing on my cock, I think to myself, but quickly disabuse myself of any further fantasies. Fuck, dude. Do your job. You are not 18 anymore, and there is no way you are going to see her naked today. I sigh.As if hearing my thoughts, Emily blushes more deeply and blurts out, “I just couldn't keep his last name after all the things he's done. I need a fresh start, I guess.”“Seems reasonable to me,” I say, smiling at her, hopefully putting her at ease, not to mention hopefully distracting me from thinking about how much I want to take her clothes off.I take a deep breath and move to begin the exam, but before I can, Emily puts her hand on my arm and in a lower, huskier voice, whispers “And so after I finish up with this appointment, I'll only have one item left on my new life to do list.”The words are innocent enough, but the hand on my arm is something different entirely.She squeezes my arm a bit and begins to circle her fingertips in my arm hair. Her touch is so light and inviting, so seductive. Oh, god. I want to take off all of her clothes and devour her. I want to lick every inch of that delicious little body, bury myself in her warmth, and make her cum over and over until I exhaust myself on top of her.Clearing my throat, I break the charged silence and ask, “Emily, what is the last thing on your list?”Emily shocks me by laughing. She looks directly at me, eyes sparkling, and purrs, “Why don't I let you finish doing your job, and then I can tell you about that.”Before I can stop myself, I let out a sigh and blurt, “I'll be honest with you, Emily. I don't know if I can wait to know. I'm tremendously hungover, your hand is on my arm in a way that I like very much, I have a raging hard on, and you smell amazing. Just put me out of my misery.”The laugh that follows doesn't surprise me this time. Oh, it's music to my ears. She's laughing and smiling at me and dear god, I want to touch her.“There he is,” she starts, smiling with eyes full of mischief, clearly pleased with herself.“What?” I ask, laughing.“I was beginning to wonder if my old friend was still under that starchy coat,” she teases. “Switch spots with me. You sit here, like the patient, and I'll be you.”And just like that, I'm sitting in the exam chair and Emily Masterson is climbing into my lap to straddle me.“Oh, fuck, Emily” I groan.I close my eyes and enjoy the weight of her on me, her hands on either side of my face, as she kisses me desperately.“I know you're married,” she gasps, coming up for air between kisses.“I know this is wrong, and I will stop kissing you in a minute, but please just let me enjoy this for a second,” she begs in a ragged whisper, as she begins moving down my jaw line to my neck.I have a rock hard cock in my pants and a beautiful woman in heat on my lap.And I know I have one good decision left to make.I let out a tortured sigh.Emily's kissing slows, and her eyes, hooded with lust, search mine. Apparently not seeing what she wanted, Emily makes a quick move to get up and finds my hands on her waist, pinning her in place.“Where do you think you're going, Emily?” I grind through gritted teeth.“Oh, thank God!” she whispers, settling her crotch down onto mine with a series of needy hip rolls. “I'm out of my mind for you.”“Trust me. The feeling is mutual, but we should do this right,” I demand, trying to still her hips.Emily reaches for the bottom of her turtleneck and starts to pull it over her head.“I don't care about right. Just fuck me quickly. I need you inside me,” she begs.Leaning into her neck, running my hands down her back, smelling her, licking and biting, I continue, barely able to utter the words, “I need to be able to see and touch all of you, and you're going to need to be able to make a lot of noise. I want to fuck you for days.”But she doesn't care. She just wants me inside her. Now.“Please? Just a little? I'll be so quiet,” she pleads as she reaches up to unclasp her bra.“Oh, fuck, Emily. If you get those out, I'm done. I may cum in my pants as it is,” I groan and grab both of her shoulders as she continues to grind against my raging hard on. I can't even look at her when I say, “This is the weirdest day of my life, because I'm going to reject your offer . . ”And before I could finish, Emily tries to knock my hands away in disbelief and interrupts with a furious, “WHAT?”“for now,” I finish.“No, you're not,” she asserts. “I need this so much, and you are so hard,” she pants, grinding her crotch against my throbbing cock.Emily looks into my eyes and seduces me with her lust, “How can you tell me no? Don't you want to know what my pussy feels like? It's so wet for you, and it's so close. It would be so easy to just slip that big cock in and get the relief we both need. Don't you want to help me, Dean?” She finishes cooing into my ear.“Fuck, Emily,” I cave, leaning my head back in surrender, definitely not making that one good decision.As my hold on her shoulders relaxes, she unclasps the front of her bra, releasing her amazing tits between us.“Look at me, Emily,” I bark.“Look. at. me.”She raises her eyes to meet mine, flushed cheeks, hard nipples, eyes drunk with lust.I put my hand under her chin and growl, “I just want to make sure you know there's no going back now. And that whimper is not enough confirmation.”“Tell me, Emily. Let me hear it. Tell me what you need,” I whisper huskily, cupping and pushing her tits together, rubbing my thumbs over the tight pink nipples.Emily's moans and need grow as I pinch her nipples mercilessly and press my face into her cleavage.“Oh, Dean. Yes. Yes, please. I need you inside me,” she whispers frantically.“Fuck yes, Emily. I'm finally going to fuck you. I'm going to make you scream my name, and then I'm going to blow my load deep inside you, like I've always wanted,” I whisper menacingly into her ear.“Umm. Yes, Dean. And it's going to feel so good,” she purrs while sliding away from me to take off her jeans and panties.I watch and stroke my cock through my pants as, finally, Emily Masterson stands in front of me completely naked, aroused, and determined to have me fuck her. I take one deep breath, blow it out, and tell her to lock the door.Emily smiles and says, “Don't worry. I arranged for them all to go out to lunch. My treat. No one else is here, and the front door is locked.”“Oh, fuck yes,” I mutter in relief, launching myself at her, kissing her hard and pinning her against the office countertop.I wrap her naked legs around my waist, engulfing one of her peaked nipples in my mouth, and she leans her head back against the cabinets in pleasure. The resulting moan that floods the room is one of desire, but also relief.But the relief is short-lived as Emily's need begins to overwhelm her. She pleads with me, “I really need you inside me, Dean. Please don't make me wait any longer.”“Oh, my god. There are so many things I want to do to you, Emily,” I groan, undoing my belt and pants, never taking my mouth off of hers. “But good fuck, I need this. I need you, goddamnit.”“Umm. That's what I want,” Emily coos, as she slides off the counter to take my rigid cock in her hand.““It's gotten so much bigger, Dean,” she says, stroking my shaft with lust in her eyes.“I hope you don't mind if I” she says distractedly as she dips down and takes the engorged head of my cock in her warm mouth.“OH, FUCK, EMILY! Jesus Christ.” I cannot help but bark out like a man bitten by a snake.I pluck Emily's head off my cock with a firm hand in her hair.“Let's get you back on this counter with your legs around me,” I demand.I rub the head of my cock across her clit until I can feel the first quickening of her orgasm. When I know she is ready to shatter, I slowly push the weeping head of my cock against her soaked sex.“You are so ready for me, Emily,” I whisper in her ear.“Yes! Oh my god. Please. I need you, Dean,” she whimpers.And then I slide my painfully hard cock into her pussy. Inch by throbbing inch, I bury myself in her welcoming heat.“You feel so good. So wet, Emily. So wet for me,” I murmur in her neck.And then we pause. To breathe, to feel the intensity of this moment, to enjoy the relief of overwhelming, shared desire.“Oh, god. You have to move. I have to feel you, Dean. I'm so close” Emily pleads.“Yes. Fuck. I'm going to. I'm trying to hold off,” I gasp. “Fuck. When I start moving, I'm going to fuck you senseless, and I know it won't last long,” I explain.“I don't care! Fuck me!” she cries, wrapping her arms around my neck and holding on tight.Watching her face, I start to move. The expression of relief and pleasure I see there weakens my knees.“That's it, Emily. This is for you. Enjoy me,” I encourage her, feeling my orgasm back off with a suddenly increased sense of duty to deliver for Emily.I lean back and reach between us to press my thumb lightly above her clit, watching my cock slide in and out of her weeping pussy. She feels so fucking good, so responsive, so going to make me cum in her before I want to.“Oh, Dean. Dean. Dean,” she begins to moan, drunk with pleasure on my fat cock. “It feels so good, Dean. You just don't know how long it's been. You. Just. Don't. Know,” she whimpers in time with my strokes.“Oh, I know, baby. I know. I can feel how long it's been. Just enjoy it. Let me make you feel good. You're getting close. I can feel it and see it on your face. Give it to me. Let me have it. I've got you,” I tell her.With one thumb on her clit and two fingers squeezing one of her nipples, I watch Emily Masterson fall apart on my dick. Her skin flushes and seemingly every muscle in her core flutters and then contracts hard, pulsing on my cock, encouraging me to fuck and fill her.And that's exactly what I do. As she is still quaking on my cock, I begin to take what I want. I pull her hips further off the counter and down onto the full length of my dick. Pumping her drenched pussy relentlessly and watching those incredible tits bounce, I know I'm about to cum.“Fuck, you feel so good. So tight. So needy. I'm so deep in you, Emily. I'm fucking you in an exam room, and I'm going to cum inside you,” I groan with my forehead against hers.“YES!” She screams. “Fuck me, Dean! Give it to me.”And then I feel the tightening, the tingle, the crash of the first wave, and I'm coming inside her. Pulse after pulse of relief, I pump into her.“Hmm. Yes, Dean,” Emily moans. “That's what I want. Fill me with your cum. Oh, yes. You feel so good. THIS feels so good.”“Oh, fuck. Yes. Take it, Emily.” I demand.“Oh, yes! Cum in me. Give me what I need, Dean!” She screamed as pulse after pulse of my rigid cock emptied my seed deep into her pussy.I run my hands down her body, trailing kisses across her breasts and nipples and up to her neck, moaning and groaning in satisfaction.Panting, we lean against each other and soak up the release, giggling at the occasional tremor of aftershock.And then there is nothing but the sound of our breathing and the HVAC system.Emily eventually breaks the silence by asking, “Do you still want to hear the final to do on my list?”“That wasn't it?” I laugh.“Well, kind of, but I was actually hoping we could do it more than once,” she begins to explain.“Dear god. Are you serious?” I interrupt, still shamefully trying to catch my breath.“Haha. I know you aren't 18 anymore, Dean,” she says, as she begins putting back on her clothes. “Neither am I,” she continued, “but I do want an arrangement between us. No strings attached. Just regular lunch time fucking. At my house. I'm not far from here, I work from home and live alone. I plan for all of those things to stay true. So, if you'd like to do that, and maybe more, again, starting Monday, come any day you like. Just text me that morning.”And then she grabs her purse, kisses me deeply and walks out without a second glance.I stand in exam room #2 for a few more seconds, catching my breath and making sure that I'm not dreaming. Daily, no strings attached incredible fucking? Jesus Christ, could that be possible? I disinfect all of the equipment and furniture, walk back to my private office and sit down to enjoy a tumbler of whiskey and a cigar. With plenty of time before my staff comes back, I open the practice scheduling software and mark my lunch hour as “Out of Office” for the foreseeable future.SMS: If the offer is still good, I'll be there just after 12 todaySMS: PerfectAfter living in this area my entire life, I cannot believe what I am seeing. I have driven down this road nearly every day of my life, and I have never noticed this driveway. Quickly swallowed up by a giant azalea hedgerow and leyland cypress trees, my truck disappears from view, and I am rolling down a winding driveway towards a sprawling, mid-century ranch. I am about to pull into the garage of an old flame, THE old flame, really. She showed back up after a very high profile divorce and is laying low in the woods, apparently. She seduced me in my office three days ago. We are both adults. So naturally, I'm already back for more.SMS: Garage. Close the door behind youThere is plenty of room for my truck next to Emily's Mercedes. I close the garage door and walk into her house.The house is beautiful – open and minimalist in style. Or maybe she just hasn't finished buying décor? Either way, I like it. I scan the kitchen and adjoining den for Emily and hear her coming down the hall from what I assume must be the bedroom wing of the house.“Dean! What a great way to start the week. It's so good to see you,” Emily announces, walking towards me in a long, black robe and throwing her arms around my neck. She smells and feels so good.By the time I realize I'm grasping her ass cheeks with both hands, Emily is laughing.“Oh, this is going to be excellent,” she chuckles between kisses.“Now, before we do anything else, I have an idea about something, but you have to promise that you will tell the 100% truth,” she teases.“Tell you the 100% truth about what?” I ask.“Well, I have a hunch, and if I'm right, it's going to decide something for me,” she explains.Not wanting to be a killjoy, I hesitantly agree, “OK. I'll play. I'll be honest.”Wrapping her naked arms and legs around me and pressing my head down into her cleavage, Emily kisses the top of my head and whispers, “How long has it been since you've had a blowjob?”I tense with humiliation, but then let out a long sigh, holding my head against her chest, kissing her lightly and considering.“Oh, fuck, Emily” I laugh. “I'm wounded. Was it that obvious?”“Welllllllll, I've never known any man to refuse a blowjob, especially not you. In fact, I've never known anyone who loves them more than you. So, yeah, it was weird. But then I wondered if maybe it was something you wanted to keep only for your wife…”I can't help but make an involuntary laughing sound.“which I would completely understand,” she finished softly.“Yeah, no,” I begin, chuckling now. “If she remembers what a blowjob is, she is not giving them to me and hasn't in many years.”“Ok. Well, that's perfect then,” she notes, smiling and wriggling to stand down on the floor.“So, what did my answer decide?” I ask, laughingly.“Oh, I was wondering if you'd remember that part,” she begins, reaching for my belt.“Your answer decided what I'm going to do to you first,” she continues, kneeling in front of me and freeing my rigid member.I'm too stunned for eloquence. I am watching a beautiful woman get on her knees to suck my cock, and I don't have to buy her anything or apologize for wanting it. She just wants to suck my cock because it will make me feel good.“HOLY. SHIT.” I choke out, as Emily licks around the head of my cock and then up and down my shaft.“Umm. I always did love sucking your dick. It's so fucking hot how turned on you get,” she murmurs from my crotch.When she next takes the engorged head of my cock into her mouth with a vibrating moan, I have to put my hand on the kitchen counter to steady myself.It's sensory overload.Warm suction and pressure on my dick, hand on my balls, gorgeous woman actually wanting to suck my dick, moaning, sucking, wet.“Oh, fuck, Emily. That feels incredible,” I groan, throwing my head back and enjoying the sensations.And there is nothing but a moan of encouragement from Emily, as she begins to work the head and shaft in unison.“Oh, yes, baby. Suck my fucking dick. That's it. That's how it's done. Jesus Christ, do you know how to suck cock,” I begin to ramble deliriously.Emily cannot help but laugh and reply, “There you are.”“Oh, fuck yeah, baby. Your mouth feels incredible. And your eyes looking up at me. Holy shit. Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck. I'm getting close. Fuck. Slow down,” I demand, attempting to push at Emily's head.“No, no, now. No way,” she keeps her hand locked on my shaft. “Let's get this out of the way. Give it to me. Cum in my mouth, and let me hear how good it feels” she purrs.“Good fuck, Emily. You are so hot. Keeping sucking it just like that. Oh, god. Oh god. That's it. Oh, god. Emily. I'm going to cum down your throat. FUCK, it feels so good. FUCK. That's it. Oh, god. I'm cumming. I'm cumming, Emily. I'm cumming down your throat,” I finish in a grunted whisper, thrusting into her mouth.Emily sucks me clean and stands with a smile, while I am still clutching the counter for support and trying to catch my breath.“Jesus Christ, Emily. That was incredible,” I groan to her appreciatively as she moves to make drinks.“Whiskey neat?” she asks.“Perfect, but make it fast, and get your ass back in here,” I bark.“Oh, bossy. You're going to give me shivers,” Emily teases with a grin, handing me the whiskey glass and curling up on the sleek leather sectional.“So, how was work this morning?” she asks.“Um, the sex part of this is not over yet, my friend. It's not time to talk shop. It's time for you to come sit next to me.”Surprisingly, she moved without argument.“Oh, that's much better. Yes, ma'am. Right next to me, and then swing those beautiful legs into my lap,” I direct her.While we sipped our drinks in the quiet, I ran my hand softly down the expanse of her toned legs, slowly inching higher inside her thighs, watch her body tense and relax as I approach and avoid her core.When I hear a low moan escape her lips, I quickly change drink hands and give myself better access to her pussy, sliding my hand up to cup her mound. She bucks beneath me with a groan, wanting more pressure.I move between her thighs and lean down to suck each of her nipples deep and hard, earning two low moans from Emily, as she begins to writhe beneath me. Isolating her swollen clit, not too quick, and not hard enough to get her there fast, I lean into her ear:“Did you really think I was going to leave without getting some of this sweet pussy?”I bite on her earlobe and dip two fingers inside.“Oh, baby. You are so wet,” I purr into her ear.“Are you going to cum for me, sweet girl?” I tease.“Oh, my god, Dean. Oh, you always know just what to do,” she whispers, nearly delirious with need.There it is. I could see the flush spread across her skin as I spread her with my cock.“Yes, Dean! Oh, my God. It feels so good. Ah. Oh, Dean, I'm going to cum,” Emily murmurs just before she tenses and closes her eyes.“You look so good cumming around my cock, Emily,” I groan into her ear. “I want to fuck you all day, just so I can watch you cum.”“Oh, god. I hope you do,” Emily assures me. “You feel so good. I feel like I might cry or laugh, or both.”“I think you're cock drunk.” I chuckle between thrusts.“That's fine. Guilty. Whatever. Just keep fucking me. My god, it just feels so good… ”Trailing my hand up her neck and into her hair, I slowly make a fist and pull Emily taught. Nipping her earlobe and increasing the pace on her clit, I admire the wanton woman beneath me. We are fucking for mutual pleasure. What a gift.And when I see that sweet flush start to rise in her skin, I quicken my pace and give in to the tightening in my balls.“Oh, Dean. I'm so close,” Emily pants.“Oh, fuck, yes. Give it to me, Emily” I demand.And she does.Waves of pleasure roll through her body, massaging my cock buried deep inside her.I can't help but tip over the edge watching her embrace her orgasm. And I hope to god I'm not dreaming, because this is fantastic.“Oh, wow. That was JUST what I needed. I don't think I realized how hard up I really was,” she laughs from beneath her curtain of hair.“Yeah, that quickie on Friday was definitely not enough for me. I was counting the minutes until I could get here.”“Not me,” she quips. “I didn't think about it at all, actually. Forgot until just before you pulled… ”“Bullshit!” I laugh and smack her on the ass.Emily laughs and blushes and moves to pour us another drink.“The shower is through there, if you'd like. I'll be heading back up to my office. I trust you can see yourself out?” she asks as a statement.“Yes, ma'am,” I respond sarcastically, somewhat hurt by her coldness.“Listen. You and I both know this is already dangerous territory. Let's hold off falling in love again for as long as possible.”And she was right, of course.by RubyRyan for Literotica

“The first word in a question is often the most important. So, if you ask, Why did you do that, then that comes across as accusatory. And then you're setting up a more aggressive space, but if you open instead with what was going on for you, or tell me what was going on for you? Or how did that arise? Or where did I go wrong? So those first questions, and those first words in those questions is really where it sets the tone. The way you start a conversation is where you end a conversation.” Wendy Nash Top Five Tips (Plus One!) For Running A Business1.       Be curious about your blind spots.2.       When a conversation goes awry, engage with the impact                                                       of what you said not your intention.3.       Be kind to yourself.4.       Nip problems in the bud.5.       Use tasks to ensure you don't miss deadlines. 6.       If you're the CEO or leader, be conscious about the culture you want to create. TIME STAMP SUMMARY04:48 How to ignite the spark.11:42 How you open up a conversation is important. 18:42 Nipping things in the bud.24:20 Diversity is key.Where to Find WendyWebsite                              kindlycutthecrap.comLinkedIn                             https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendy-nash/Wendy Nash BioWendy Nash helps ambitious high-tech startup founders improve productivity and decrease procrastination without increasing their workload to build a profitable business and not burn out. Unlike other life coaches, she works with knowing the mind, not just the mindset. It's not just overcoming your limiting beliefs! Wendy created a process called Meditation Coaching where she guides people to set up and maintain a regular meditation practice that fits with their lifestyle and improves understanding themselves in order to understand others better. If you think loving-kindness meditation is only for the soft and weak, bring to mind someone who rejected your business idea or funding proposal and wish them kindness and care – it's tough! This meditation process helps gain awareness with what you're good at and where the gaps are so you grow a sound business. Wendy's clients achieved financially strong businesses despite cofounder conflict, funding rejections, staff underperformance, almost burning out, investor negotiations, constant fear of failure and pivoting new directions in work and life. In other words, she focuses on turning negatives into supercharged positives.  Fun facts about Wendy  Her favorite line from the somatic psychotherapy course was another student who said The one common denominator of all my relationships is me.  For her psychology honors project on loving kindness meditation, she tested the Javascript research survey with ABBA songs.  Her project from the 2-year meditation teacher training was creating a class on How to be happier without doing more which meant a whole lot of doing more.She doesn't always enjoy meditation but slogs at it because what it takes today it gives tomorrow whereas she figured out that party drugs give today but take tomorrow.

The plaintiff says the defendant's dog attacked his dog at the park and the defendant promised he'd pay the vet bill. Now he's avoiding the plaintiff, so he's forced to sue. The defendant says there was a scuffle among several dogs, and there was no mention that his dog nipped the plaintiff's pet.  Then, the plaintiffs say the defendant is their landlord and they're feuding. They claim she's stolen their electricity and that their faucet leaks, so they're suing for a rent reduction. The defendant says the plaintiffs are nitpickers who ask for things that aren't a landlord's responsibility. She's countersuing for all that she's out.  Don't forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They brushed aside their cross-town rivals Hertha for the fifth derby on the trot and are now within one point of FC Bayern München.

A little bit of kvetch and a lot of klatch, there's a game of sapphic villain top-bottom-vers to keep our spirits gay after asking the hard questions: What makes a villain juicy? What makes a straight cis man decide to make a movie about a lesbian predator? What makes a straight cis woman choose the role? Is the world short on narratives that cast queer people in a predatory light?

Visit us at shapedbydog.com    Imagine having a way to trigger your dog to relax. Consider the benefits and applications in everyday life like vet visits, the groomers or travel. It's not hypnosis. It's a protocol involving conditioning, capturing and shaping your dog's behavior to create calm in key moments. The ability to cue relaxation is valuable for ALL dogs, not just those who are hyper or anxious. In fact, we all have personal relaxation protocols, and in this episode, I'm sharing what I frequently use for myself and my dogs to settle down.   In the episode you'll hear:   • Why every dog should have a protocol for relaxation regardless of temperament. • About common triggers for relaxation and ones I use for my dogs. • How to help anxious or over aroused dogs with intentional calming mannerisms. • My breathing technique for triggering the parasympathetic nervous system to counter stress. • How to induce a calm state for dogs step-by-step. • Why we play ItsYerChoice to help dogs relax. • How to positively condition your dog's relaxation trigger. • My capturing technique and tips when dogs are in their “chill zones”. • When to begin shaping and adding a calm release word. • How to assess your dog's emotional state with TEMP and an app. • About using a remote feeder to add duration to the chill zone.

On the debut of DOG-EARED with Lisa Davis. They write about dogs.  I interview them, Lisa is joined by Arden Moore who talks about the 2nd edition of her book, The Dog Behavior Answer Book: Understanding and Communicating with Your Dog and Building a Strong and Happy Relationship. Arden grew up in a Brady Bunch-like family in a town called Crown Point located near Chicago in Northwest Indiana.  During her first year in high school, she cajoled the editor of the local weekly newspaper into hiring her to be a sports writer.  As a corn-fed Hoosier, she valued her Midwest roots, but knew she needed to experience other places.  Her insatiable curiosity led to spending the next 20 years chasing stories as a reporter and editor for daily newspapers in Indiana and Florida.   This is where Arden honed her amazing interviewing and writing skills! From there, she entered the publishing world at the family-owned Rodale Press.  At Rodale, her “day job” was senior health writer for the book division, but she also moonlighted as a writer for their new magazine called Pets: Part of the Family. That is where Arden realized that she could tap her love of writing and interviewing to help people become healthier, and to tout the power of her other lifelong passion, pets.  Pets and people — that's what Arden is all about.  Fast forward to today, and Arden has done just that, in her trademark  edu-taining style.  She has:interviewed hundreds of guests over the last 13+ years on her immensely popular pet podcast, the Oh Behave! show.written more than two dozen pet books and counting as well as co-authored books with medical doctors and gardening experts.recognized as America's Pet Health and Safety Coach, teaching the latest veterinarian-approved pet first aid/CPR and safety classes.given hundreds of talks on the health, behavior and safety for cats and dogs  across the country.served as a pet expert on numerous television and online video segments, in addition to serving as emcee/host for pet-oriented gatherings.authored pet-based content for blogs, magazines and educational platforms.Today, Arden happily shares her home in Dallas with her wife, Julie, and their furry Brady Bunch of three cats, three dogs and an overworked vacuum cleaner. In this episode, Arden shares shares info & advice about:The senses of dogs and how they differ from ours. Sizing up the brain power of dogsNot assuming certain breeds can do certain things just because of their breed (e.g. my lab Benji does not retrieve)Nipping the herding instinctSeeking the right canineWhat dog whines can meanWhat to do about "Licky Lou's"BarkingKnowing When to Say Goodbye.Plus lots of stories about Lisa's dogs and Arden's dogs (plus her cat.  It's ok.

Today, we sit down with Lindsay Bryan-Podvin, social worker, financial therapist, speaker, and author of The Financial Anxiety Solution. Lindsay reflects on how her own lived experience led her to choose financial therapy as a career path.   Listen in as Lindsay shares how she aims to close “the gap in how we talk about money,” highlighting the importance of having regular conversations with those you trust “about how money makes you feel.”   We also discuss the need for more people to be open about sharing their money stories in order to collectively send the message that no one is alone on their financial anxiety journey. Lindsay speaks on where affirmations fall short and why it's much more productive to create neutral-to-positive associations with money.   Finally, Lindsay talks about the often overlooked value of getting in touch with your body in order to create a stronger relationship with money, and why financial planners need to factor emotion and rapport into account when building trust with clients.   Key Topics: What led Lindsay to choose financial therapy as a career path (3:21) Why we need to talk about money (7:58) Giving people the tools to address their own needs (10:31) Seeing your “financial anxiety journey” to the end (12:39) Nipping bad money beliefs in the bud (15:05) Why building a healthy relationship with money involves getting in touch with your body (18:48) Inviting the client on a journey before trying to solve their problem (24:03) “Procrastination is the other side of the coin from perfectionism.” (30:46) Our final takeaways (35:43)   Resources: Where to find Lindsay Bryan-Podvin: Podcast Website Instagram Book       If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

Visit us at shapedbydog.com    Do you have superstitious behavior like wearing a lucky shirt or lucky socks? Dogs can have superstitious behaviors too, and often, we contribute! We don't want inadvertent or cheap behaviors to become part of what our dogs learn, so I'm covering what to look for and what you can do to avoid reinforcing superstition unintentionally. We're also looking at why you need to beware of the killer bees in dog training!   In the episode you'll hear:   • How B. F. Skinner described superstitious behavior back in the 1940's when working with pigeons. • That my mentor Bob Bailey used the term cheap behavior and what that looks like for dogs. • How my husband, John, had a superstitious behaviour at traffic lights. • The ways dogs can develop superstitious behaviors in daily life and dog sports. • How cheap behaviors like vocalizing, pawing, spinning, foot paddling, nipping, and the killer bees like biting, bopping, bouncing, boxing and more can be built into our training or routines. • About preventing cheap behavior or superstition in your dog training and why to look at reinforcement. • That reinforcement can be more complex than what you think you are rewarding. • How some behaviors can be because the dog is overwhelmed or over faced in training and why to look at your dog's success percentage. • Why to work out your dog's rate of reinforcement and how that can vary depending on what you are training. • About the importance of a training plan that will set you and your dog up for success. • How to help your dog with something like barking in the crate if that is superstitious.
