Cosmic Shuffling était en Vostok Session le 28 novembre 2024, The post Cosmic Shuffling nous fait voyager en Vostok Session first appeared on Radio Vostok.

Well, good morning.That was worth getting up early for, wasn't it?Romans 7: Who Will Rescue Me From Sin?Spring ahead, and here we are.The last time we met, we dispelled a myth that is widely held among followers of Jesus Christ.Those of us who are more than conquerors in Christ.And that myth says that those who are more than conquerors are actually hopelessly doomed to defeat in sin.Okay, where does that idea come from?Traditionally, we interpret the closing verses of Romans 7 as giving us an out, a soft landing if we fail in our quest toward holiness, that quest to which we have all been called.And in that famous passage, it's where Paul confesses that the things he wants to do, he doesn't do.And the very things he really he doesn't want to do, those are the things that he finds himself doing.And so, as that passage comes to a close, he calls himself a wretched man and testifies that he is hopelessly trapped in this swirl of sin and death.But we concluded last week, and this is really important to understand, we concluded that that's not Paul's testimony.As Paul, the swashbuckling church planter who changed the world by preaching the good news of Jesus and planting churches among the Gentile cities.This was not, obviously, the man who boldly said, follow me as I follow Jesus.That kind of encouragement could only come from someone who was confident in that Jesus was going to enable him to overcome the temptation of the flesh.Rather, what we learned is that as chapter seven closes, Paul is telling the story of his life as Saul, the murderous persecutor and prosecutor of Christians, who, prior to meeting Jesus on the road to Damascus, was bound to the law and by the law.Romans 7 culminated in the acceptance of his own disheartening reality, which, if we have the courage, we will own it as our own.But it was his disheartening reality that because of his sin nature, the law which God gave through Moses and was good.But because of Paul's sinful nature, the law was too weak to give him victory in his pursuit of holiness without help.He recognized that he could not and would not ever get it Right.His noble quest for holiness would fall woefully short.So he cried out in desperation, what a wretched man I am.Who.Who will rescue me from.From this body that is subject to death.Now we feel that, or we should.It's a terrible place to be, but it's a necessary place to go.We all need to realize that without Jesus we are trapped in hopelessness and we are needing to be rescued.No amount of self reliance, determination or grit will enable us to free ourselves.Even with the perfect plan, which by the way, Saul had, and it came in the form of the law.Even with the perfect plan to extricate ourselves from the trap, we will fail.We will not, we cannot ever do enough to rescue ourselves.Becoming holy and forging a soul, satisfying life, edifying relationship with our Heavenly Father.It cannot happen.Can't happen.But there's some really good news.This is why we love the Scripture and God's revelation of the truth to us.The truth is that God wants that for us as much as we need it.He wants a relationship with us.He loves us, wants to be connected with us.So God came along and offered a rescue.Remember Paul's question, who will rescue me from this body of death?Well, God offers a rescue, a way of escape from the realm of sin and death and therefore a pathway to the realm of life for which we were created.It is a path whereby we are justified and not condemned.We're granted life and saved from death.We're made conquerors, not captives.And in that space we enjoy peace and not chaos.The way God made is both path and possibility.Let me say that again.The way God made for us is both path and possibility.And it is by faith in Jesus that we gain the path.And it is by following Jesus that we seize the possibilities.Now, having revealed that without Jesus we are more than conquered.That's what was going on in chapter seven.Paul steps back into the present.Now in Romans 8.So if you have your Bibles, want to turn there, Romans 8, he steps back into the present to say, that was then and this is now.But now everything is different.But now there is new life.But now I am more than a conqueror.But now I'm a victor.Because now I am in Christ Jesus who has set me free.That's where victory lies.We are in Christ Jesus who has set us free.Look at Romans 8 beginning in verse 1.Remember, he's in a terrible spot without Jesus.Then he says in verse one, therefore there is now no condemnation for those Who.Who are in Christ Jesus.Because through Christ Jesus, the law of the Spirit who gives life, has set you free from the law of sin and death.For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.And so he condemned sin in the flesh in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us who do not live according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.Now, those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires.But those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God.It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot, cannot, cannot please God.Paul reveals the Path to New LifeNow listen right here.Paul reveals two foundations of the new life that we have in Christ.First, he says there is a path, foundation of new life.There is a path.What God did in Christ, you know what he did, he dealt with sin effectively by loading it on Jesus, setting us free from the burdensome weight that we carry, trying to be holy, trying to be good.He loaded that burden on Christ.And second, he says there are possibilities, the guiding action of the Holy Spirit, whose great power and guidance keep us free.It's the Holy Spirit that enables us to live free and with victory.Now he begins by saying that the path that we find ourselves on by faith in Jesus is the path to new life.Okay?It's the path to the life we were born to live.And so he says, here and now, right now, with faith in Jesus, there is no condemnation for the sin that we could neither escape nor conquer.In the old realm before Christ, we can't get out from under the sin.We can't get it right.We can't conquer it.But in Christ, we are free from condemnation because Jesus came along to do for us what we could not do for ourselves, to fulfill the law.Okay?That was the objective, right here.Here are the laws.These are the top 10 things you're supposed to do.None of us are ever going to get all of that right.And so Jesus came along and said, hey, you know what?I'll just do it for him.And he did.Now we have to remember that in the old realm of death, the good law of God, which was the perfect plan if we could but enact It.It's the perfect path to life.It pointed to the way of life.But that plan was weakened by our sinful nature.We weren't strong enough to get the job done.The job was keeping the law, and we couldn't get it done.We could not make it to the finish line of the righteous life that God called us to.The burden was too much to bear.We couldn't get there.And as he actually points out in verse three, the law was powerless.It was too weak to break us free.Why?Because we were too weak in the flesh, okay?Our struggle with sin sapped us of strength.So when we got the plan, when God said, hey, Here are the 10 things, the laws that you need to follow to get it done, we were too tired, too burdened, too weary to step into that moment.We weren't strong enough to follow the plan.We couldn't carry the load.Now, the good news that Paul is announcing is that, hey, guess what?You don't have to hold up, okay?We don't have to carry the burden.God in Christ Jesus will take those burdens, freeing us to walk boldly into the realm of life.Now, that's a lot of heady theological talk.I want to try to illustrate it, something that I can understand.I hope you can, too.But let's say a few years back, my family's younger.We had a long, hard, bitter winter like the one we've just experienced.We endured it, got through it.I decided that what my family needed was a day at the beach.We're all going to go to the beach.So I load up the car.Actually, probably Nikki does most of the work.She loads up the car, beach towels, beach chairs, toys for the kids.I put the fishing pole, tackle box in the car.She's got a cooler packed for lunch that we're just hoping the kids won't feed the seagulls.We make our way out to Honeymoon island, okay?We find a parking spot and begin to make that laborious trip from the.Across the parking lot, across the sand to the water's edge.And when we get there, everybody grabs something, right?The kids get their toys.Nikki gets the bag with the sunscreen and the towels.But as the dad, like, what's my job?My responsibility is to carry the heavy stuff, right?As a matter of fact, in Foolish Pride, I determined that I And this really would have happened.I determined that I'm going to carry it all in one trip.So I take the cooler, stack the tackle box on top of the cooler, put the straps of the beach chairs over my shoulders.Grab the fishing rod and hold it close to my edge, right to my ribs, under my arm.Then I pick up the tackle box in the cooler and begin the walk as Nikki and the boys disappear onto the beach.It's a sight to see me.It's pathetic.I recognize that.But I'm going to do it.I'm determined, so I start walking right away.And what happens?Those straps from the chairs begin to slide off the shoulders.So it all goes down.Make some small adjustments that are probably not going to work.Pick the stuff up again, try again.Shuffling across the parking lot, I finally make it to the sand.And when I hit the sand, I discover that Jesus was right.The sand is where all the bad things happen, right?So sure enough, traction changes.The fishing rod slips out from under my arm, falls to the ground.I put all the stuff down to start over again.Frustration turns to madness when the guy comes prancing along with one of these.Do you know what this the beach cart.Like, I hate the beach cart.I really do hate the beach cart.Not because I don't need a beach cart.Obviously I need a beach cart.But I hate the beach cart because I don't have one.And this dude comes whistling by, not a care in the world.All of his burdens stacked neatly in the cart.Jesus Bothers All Our BodiesHe's happy, self satisfied.He loves the beach.He can't wait to get to the beach.And I'm not sure I ever will get to the beach.I'm literally crumbling under the weight of my burdens.A beach cart would change everything, but I don't have one.What a wretched man I am.Who will rescue me now in our quest for God's presence?The answer to that question is Jesus will.God loaded on him all the burdens, all the burdens.All the burdens that we are too weak to carry.750something years before he did it, Isaiah told us he would listen to Isaiah, chapter 53.Surely, surely, he took up our pain and bore our suffering.Yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him and afflicted.But actually he was pierced for our transgressions.He was crushed for our iniquities.The punishment that brought us peace was on him.And by his wounds we are healed.We all, like sheep, have gone astray.Each of us turned to our own way, trying to do it ourselves.And the Lord said, no, I'm going to lay on him the iniquity.God laid the burden on him.The cross was the cart.Jesus bore all of our burdens.When he died on the cross, or at least he offered to, he offered to carry our burdens.We just have to lay down our pride and let him take them.That's exactly what he invited us to do.Listen what he said to those who are following him.Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I'll give you rest.Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I'm gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.For my yoke is easy.My burden is light.In contrast to the burden that we think we have to bear when we give it to him.His burden is light.Jesus says, come on, I'll take it.You don't have to worry about sin.You don't have to worry about the law.I took care of it all.I lived a sinless life, kept all the laws, fulfilled the law.And then I took your burden, took it to the cross.I died for you that you could be free.See, sin had to be neutralized.The law had to be fulfilled.And Jesus did both.The power of sin erased, the law fulfilled.The burden had to be lifted for us to connect with our Creator.And it was.And now burden free.Progress toward holiness is possible for those who are in Christ Jesus.The goal of victory, establishing ourselves living as more than conquerors, is within reach in Jesus.It is the possibility.It's a possibility.If.Ah.Hey, if.If what?How is that possible?Because the reason we believe the myth that we are hopelessly trapped in sin is because it seems to play out.We live the myth.But the good news that God is delivering here is no, no.It's a possibility to live free.If you remember how Paul wrapped up verse four, what he said was the righteous requirement of the law is met in us if we live not by the flesh, but by the Spirit.Look back at verses three and four.For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh.God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh.He was just like us.He was a human, but he wasn't stained by sin.He was in the likeness of human flesh to be a sin offering.And so condemned sin is in the flesh in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us.God gives us credit for living up to the high standards of the law.When we place our faith in Jesus in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us who do not live according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit, the Victory is ours, the burden is lifted.Our demons are conquered.If in Jesus Christ we live not by the flesh but by the Spirit.So I guess we have to pause and say, do we live by the flesh or by the Spirit?The question is, how in the world do we live by the flesh?You know what I'm going to say.It's easier said than done, right?And that's true.Usually when we talk about something being easier said than done, we find that it's easy to describe.It's a very complex process for pulling off something that seems relatively simple, like folding a fitted sheet.Have you ever tried that?Get that right.Nicky's saying.Has he ever tried that?I don't think he has.I have.It didn't work.I don't know how to do that, but I know it's not simple, like folding a towel.I've done that a time or two.There's nothing simple about it.But in this case, living by the Spirit is very simple.It's not very easy.One thing's required.So it's really, really simple.No complexity.It's just not easy.Mind set on the flesh and spiritLook at verse five.Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires.But those who live in accordance with the spirit have their mind set on what the spirit desires.So it's just a mindset.Yet those who live by the spirit simply have their minds set on the Spirit.And those who don't have their minds set on the flesh.Here's what you need to understand about your mind.This is true.The fixed object of our minds determines where we go and what we do.You want to know what you think about?You can actually play the tape back and review what you did.It's an issue of the mindset, okay?Our souls, understand, have a one direction orientation.In other words, we are always moving one way.It can be one way or the other, but it is one way.It is impossible for us to do what Canadian philosopher and humorist Stephen Lecoq suggested, which is to jump on our horse and ride off in all different directions.Okay?We can't do that.That's not the way it works.We go one way or another.We don't go both.Now, Paul, in this passage of Scripture, has defined clearly the two ways we can go, two roads to travel.We can go in the direction of the flesh, or we can go in the direction of the spirit.And we will go where we make our minds up to go.Because whatever we have our minds set on, whatever we are devoted to is Going to determine the way we go.So if our minds are set on the flesh, what I want, what I need.If our minds are set on the flesh, we'll be governed by fleshly desires.And we are likely to take shortcuts to get what we want or need.But on the other hand, if our minds are set on the spirit, then we will be governed by the Spirit's desires one way or another.You can't go off riding in all directions.Now be warned.Verse 6 says, the mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.Again, this could not be more simple.Okay.Mind on the flesh equals death.The desires of the flesh misdirect us.The habits of the flesh entomb us.The heart of the thyroid, flesh fails us under the burden of the flesh.Flesh is death.But the mind of the Spirit, which is ours in Jesus, is not, might be, is life and peace.Now why is it that the mind of the Spirit is life and peace?The mind on the Spirit leads to life and peace because the Spirit, his job, his role, the gift to us from on high.He takes us back to Jesus, the one who exchanged our heavy burden for his easier burden.That's the role of the Spirit.Do you guys remember when Jesus was talking to his disciples?He knew they didn't get it, but he was trying to prepare them for the fact that he was on his way out.He was headed toward the cross.They were meeting in the upper room.It was going to happen the next day.And he had a meeting with his guys.And he was telling them, look, you can be at peace.You're going to have peace.Because in a strange sort of way, he was promising them that God was going to actually make things better for them after he was gone.And do you know how he said he would do it?John, chapter 14, verse 26.This is exactly what he said.But the advocate, the one who's going to cheer you on, the advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you, remind you of everything I have said to you.So what does that mean?That means when our mind is on the Spirit, he reminds us of Jesus words, His unfailing love, his implacable wisdom and his mighty power.He reminds us that he is our peace and that Jesus prayed that we would have his, the full measure of his joy.So with the Spirit's reminders, we are guided to victory and peace.We live in a victorious life.We are more than conquerors.I'LL sign up for that.You.surrender your will and submit to God'sSo what do we need to do to keep our mindset?What do we need to do to have the right mindset?Look at verses 7 and 8 of Romans 8.The mind governed by the flesh.Now do you see that the mind is on the flesh and therefore it yields to the governance of the flesh.That's what that means.The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God.It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so those who are in the realm of the flesh.Flesh cannot please God.Now this is the hardest and simplest part of all.What he's saying is to walk in victory, to live the life, the sustained life of the burden free conqueror, which is God's vision for your life.Now, I told you this the hard part.We have to surrender our will and submit to His.If we cling to our will, we are at war with God.That's the exercise of the flesh.And we will be more than conquered.But if we submit to his will, then we're free.We enjoy life and the good pleasures of God's delight.We please God.So the step is to surrender our will and submit to his.Thomas Keating said, the chief act of the will is not effort, but consent.That's submission.I consent to his will governing mine.The mind governed by the Spirit is life and pleases God.When our mind is set on the Spirit, then we yield our will back to God in loving trust, consenting to his plan, to his path, which is better than our own.It's exactly what Jesus did.Do you remember in the garden?Everything was pointing to this moment.And he got there and his flesh was saying, let's get out of this deal in the flesh.He didn't want to die on the cross and he surrendered his will and submitted to God's.Nevertheless, not my will, but thy will be done.It's not what I want.It's what you want.I surrender.Someone has said that it's more difficult to yield the will than yield the will.Wield it.It's more difficult to yield it than wield it.That's consent.It's the path to greatness in his kingdom.It's the path to burden free victory.Paul, writing to the Philippians, said this.Let this mind be in you.That is also in Christ Jesus.That's the mindset.God help us surrender our will so we can submit to yours.Let's bow our heads and pray.Lord, we appreciate the simplicity of all of it.That we're burdened by sin.It's a burden we can't carry.We want to go where you're calling us to go, but we can't get there without help.We're grateful, Father, that you sent Jesus in love to make the path, to clear the way, take up the burdens for us, set us free to walk into life and peace and victory.Lord, I pray if there's anyone here who hasn't taken that step to place their faith in Jesus.Just pray, Lord, that they'll remember that the cross is the cartoon.The burdens all go neatly on the cross.Christ takes them away.And the beautiful part is we gain that path.It's by faith we choose to believe that Jesus lived a perfect life life that he submitted to your will and died.On the cross.You demonstrated your victory, the power of the spirit.You raised him from the dead.You are our living hope.So Father, I pray if anyone needs to believe today, that by your spirit you would draw them to belief and grace them with life.And Father, for those of us who have embraced the path, I pray that we'll meet the if we'll do what we need to do to set our minds on life in the spirit.Lord, right now, by your spirit, bring.Bring to mind those things that we are focused on that we need to hand over to you.Help us, Lord, to surrender our will so we can submit to yours.Thank you for the path, thank you for the possibilities and thank you for the promise of victory and the peace that comes.Because we are more than conquerors through Christ who gives us strength.It's in his mighty name that we pray.Amen.

The Wedding Night. My Wedding Night turned out to be more than I bargained for! by MysteryTe.  Listen to the Podcast at Steamy StoriesWe got married in August, and the day was perfect. Everything that needed to go well, did. The weather was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the party was amazing. Most of all, my bride, Erica, was perfection. She always is, of course. She's 28, slim, slightly above average height, with small but pert breasts and a pretty face. Her legs are firm and toned, and so is her bum. That day, she seemed to transcend beyond her normal gorgeousness though, leaving me stunned. Her long strawberry blonde hair held in waves and her dress... I'd never seen a more breath-taking sight as when she walked down the aisle.The DJ finished at half past midnight, and our guests began to make their way to their rooms in the hotel. After almost everybody left, there were a few of us still up, namely my wife's younger sister Alice, my brother and his wife, Erica's brother Alan, and a female guest he had been working on unsuccessfully all night! As it reached 2am, the last of us decided to make our way up to bed. I, of course, was very ready to head to the bridal suite, as I was looking forward to finally removing that beautiful dress from my new wife. Alan offered to walk the other guest back to her room, and my brother and sister-in-law took their leave.At last it was just me, Erica and Alice. We all headed upstairs together. Alice's suite was next to ours so she walked upstairs with us. As we were about to say goodnight, she pulled a thoughtful face, before asking, "I hadn't thought about the buttons. Would you mind if I came in and perhaps your new hubby can help undo them for me?"I looked at the back of the dress. There were a lot of buttons, as there were on the back of Erica's bridal gown. In fairness, there was no way Alice would be able to unfasten them all herself. "It's ok with me," I answered, looking to Erica for guidance. Normally I'd have been all for this. Alice is five years younger than my wife at 23, but similar in build and not dissimilar in looks, but with slightly larger breasts and a rounder, very pert bum. Helping her to remove her dress would offer me the opportunity to get a good look at her shapely legs and that bottom. She was also looking stunning today, a vision as chief bridesmaid. Plus, she obviously needed help, but I was very much looking forward to removing my new wife's gown!"Of course it's fine!" Erica laughed. She and Alice had always been close, and I knew she'd respond the way she did. I unlocked the door and we all headed into our gorgeous bridal suite. The large bed took up the majority of one half of the room, but the rest of the suite was plenty big enough, with a table and chairs in one corner, a sofa by the wall and of course a large dressing table by another.As the door shut, Alice suggested that actually we should both help Erica with her buttons first. I was about to argue, as I had plans for her, as soon as I could get enough buttons undone, but she continued, pointing out it would allow Erica to get herself ready. She gave me a pointed look at that, and I saw Erica nod out of the corner of my eye, so I bit my tongue and we set to work unbuttoning all ninety-something of the buttons on the dress.I started at the top, and as I revealed more and more of my new wife's back, the inevitable happened and I felt the blood start to redirect to my cock. It was a little awkward, knowing that Alice, who was unbuttoning on her knees right next to me, could almost certainly see the bulge in my pants growing. Still, this was my wedding night, so I contented myself with the thought that with Alice's help, Erica would be out of the dress twice as fast.Sure enough, soon Alice and I met in the middle. We both grasped for the last button, and her hands closed around mine. She quickly pulled away, grazing my erection as she did so. Looking up at me, she blushed and must have seen me do the same as she giggled and murmured an amused, "sorry," as she stood up and turned around.Erica looked around as I undid the last button, and seeing Alice had her back to us, stepped out of the dress and turned to face me. Braless, her pert breasts showed rock hard nipples, telling me she was as horny as I was. Her wedding lingerie was a beautiful pair of almost see-through lacy panties and a similarly lacy garter, which caused my erection to strain against my pants again."You look beautiful," I whispered, and she smiled back, before pressing herself against me so I could feel her hard nipples against my chest, and planting a long, sensuous kiss on my lips.As she stepped away again, I noticed her panties were growing a dark, moist patch at the front and I almost pulled her back towards me, until she reminded me, "Sort Alice's dress out now. I'll just get ready in the bathroom."As she turned away, I turned my attention to her sister, waiting patiently by the sofa with her back to us. Looking at her dress, a long, pale blue, I was glad to see that while there were plenty of buttons, there were nowhere near as many as on Erica's. I started from the bottom this time, working my way up and Alice silently stretched her arms out in front of her. As I came up to her bottom, the dress started to open up, allowing me a perfect view of her pert, round arse. The buttons kept going and I was able to enjoy the unfolding view of her bum framed with pale blue, lacy thong panties. I kept unbuttoning, revealing her also braless back. She groaned in satisfaction as the tight dress loosened, and then caught me by surprise as she leaned right forwards, pressing her arms against the arm of the sofa. I had to step forwards to unfasten the last couple of buttons, and my crotch pressed against her bum. I was relieved to realise my cock had at least drooped to a semi, although it began to twitch again as it nestled between her cheeks. I could only hope she couldn't feel it.The last button came loose just as Alice straightened back up, and the entire dress fell to the floor around her. She jerked around and as I stepped quickly away I couldn't help seeing beautiful, perky breasts fully on show, rock hard nipples poking out above a flawless body, toned and slim with a couple centimetre gap I couldn't help noticing between her thighs. She stared at me for couple of seconds, before she slowly but deliberately covered her breasts. I stammered an apology.She smiled and chuckled. "It doesn't matter. We're family now. I'll go and tell Erica I'm out of my dress." A quick glance to my crotch told her I was fully erect again, and she smiled to herself as she lowered her arm to her side, showing me her breasts, before she stepped around me and headed to the bathroom. I assumed Erica would give her a towel or something to go back to her room in, and I began to undress, laying my jacket on the sofa and removing my shoes, before taking off my tie and unbuttoning my top buttons, making myself comfortable for Erica's return.Erica came out of the bathroom quickly, closing the door behind her. She kissed me and then stepped back, holding something behind her back. I admired her almost naked body for a second, and then asked what she had behind her back."All in good time," she responded, before directing me to take a chair from under the table and sit on it in the middle of the room, facing away from her. I did as I was told, and was almost immediately blindfolded. "Won't be a second," she whispered, and a few seconds later I heard her open the bathroom door, and shortly afterwards the room door opened briefly and then closed again. Alice must have left. Idly I wondered what she'd used to cover up.Sat in darkness, I could only wait for what would happen next. My erection strained in anticipation. Soon, I felt Erica's lips against mine, as she kissed me, long and deep. She whispered to me to keep my hands by my side, as her hands roamed my body, first unbuttoning my shirt, before moving to the clasp of my belt. She undid this and unbuttoned my pants, before pulling them down. I lifted my feet and she removed them, before pulling off my socks. She stood again between my legs and then climbed atop to straddle me. Her breasts pressed against my face and I sucked and licked her hard nipples as she ground herself against my rock hard cock. Her lacy panties and my boxers did nothing to hide the fact her pussy was sopping wet as she slid back and forth.After a minute or so, Erica climbed off again and immediately pulled at my boxers, revealing my thick, eight inch erection. My cock was throbbing with the need for her, and she duly obliged, climbing back on top of me and guiding my cock smoothly into her drenched pussy. She slid on easily, moaning loudly in pleasure as my whole eight inches entered her, and then started to grind and circle, a method she always used when she was desperate for orgasm but wanted me to last longer, as it provided minimal friction for me. I could feel her panties had been moved to one side rather than removed completely, which, if anything, was even more of a turn on, having seen her in those lacy knickers earlier. I returned my attention to her nipples, as having them sucked while she rode me was a sure-fire way of bringing her to climax. Sure enough, after only a few seconds I felt her tense and she moaned loudly as she came hard, clinging to me and kissing me hard.After a few breathless seconds, she climbed back off me, easing herself off my cock now soaked in her juices. I reached up to remove the blindfold, eager to continue. Just as I reached, she grabbed my hand. "Not yet," she whispered into my ear, and I let my hand return to my sides. A couple of seconds later, I felt her hands on my legs, pushing them apart. She crawled between them and her hand closed around the bottom of my cock. Her other hand cupped my testicles as she guided my length down and I felt her warm, wet mouth enclose the head, sucking her juices off it. She took it out of her mouth and licked around the shaft, lapping up her cum, before returning the head to her mouth and beginning to suck as her hand started to move up and down my length. Erica didn't often go down on me, so I quickly felt myself nearing orgasm. I whispered to her to let her know, and she silently gave one, final, long lick from the bottom of the shaft right to the eye of my penis, sending shivers through my whole body as she tasted the pre-cum oozing from me.Shuffling back, she moved from between my legs, and seconds later I felt her step across me. This time, she remained standing, and I felt her backside against my chest. Placing her hands on my knees, I sensed her leaning forward, and the delicate musk of a wet pussy entered my nostrils. Ducking my head slightly, I kissed her bottom, following the shape of her until I was able to kiss her soaked panties. I trailed my tongue along her wet groove, and heard a low moan. One hand moved from my knee and I felt the panties move to one side, allowing me access to her sweet pussy. I kissed, first, before licking along her groove several times, moving from the hole all the way up to her tiny arsehole and back. Unable to quite reach down to her clitoris, I lifted my hands and moved her forwards slightly, allowing me to reach my tongue down to her clit, which I began to flick with my tongue, drawing small moans of pleasure.Soon, the moans began to increase in intensity, and she finally removed a hand from my knee to take hold of my cock, guiding herself onto it as she lowered her wet pussy back onto my length. I groaned as the moist warmth enveloped my cock. She lowered herself slowly this time, and I heard a small gasp as I filled her further. She felt tighter this time. Perhaps after her first orgasm she'd satisfied herself more than she expected. Her tight pussy wasn't fully taking me, and she began to slowly move up and down on me, her tight wetness sending waves of pleasure through my cock. I decided now was the time to move my hands, and I reached around to massage her clit with my right hand as she rode me. My left hand reached higher, grasping at her chest. Something felt... different, somehow. I put it down to the angle, and began to play with her hard nipple.The feeling of her tight, wet pussy gliding up and down on my cock was incredible. Her right arm wrapped sensuously around my head and pulled me into a deep kiss, her tongue wrestling with mine. I knew I wouldn't last too much longer. Then, as she slid up and down, finally reaching the bottom of my shaft and fully impaling herself on my cock, I felt her cup my testicles and take one into her mouth.I know. It took me a second or two to move past the pleasure to realise. If she was kissing me... whose mouth was sucking on my balls? I began to reach for the blindfold when her left hand grabbed mine and held it hard against her clit. In my confusion I hadn't realised her moans were getting louder. She was nearing climax again. Her kisses were deep and intense and her movements spoke of a fervour for orgasm. I felt the mouth release my balls and a tongue ran up the length of my shaft onto her pussy.Suddenly I felt a hand on each side of my head and the blindfold lifted. The scene was one I could never have imagined. The face I was kissing, whose nipple I had between my fingers, whose clit I was rubbing, whose pussy was grinding on my cock, whose moans of orgasm suddenly screamed out of her mouth as her back arched and her cunt flooded over me, was Alice. Between her legs was the tongue of their cousin, Kasey, her long, red curls framing her pretty face as she licked up and down my shaft and Alice's pussy, still wearing her long, royal blue dress."I want tonight to be the best night of your life," Erica whispered down my ear, her hands coming to rest on my shoulders and her breasts pressing against my head as her sister orgasmed on my cock. Needless to say, the whole scene was too much for me, and I unloaded with a groan, cum spurting into Alice's wet cunt as we came together.As Alice's orgasm subsided and she relaxed against me, my erection inside her right to the balls, Kasey slowly, sensuously lapped up the combination of my cum and Alice's as it seeped from her. I'd always known that Erica and her cousin had experimented briefly in their late teens, but it would seem Alice had no reservations about her cousin's tongue either, suggesting Kasey had helped both sisters with their experimenting.Alice turned her head to kiss me again, and then slowly climbed off me, my cum dribbling down the inside of one of her thighs. Kasey took my length in her mouth, sucking Alice's juices from the shaft. After a moment, Erica joined her, on her knees before me, and the two took it in turns to keep me erect following my orgasm. Alice draped herself over my shoulders from behind and we alternated between kissing and watching the two licking and sucking on my hard cock. When it became clear I wasn't going to lose my stiffness, Erica began to kiss Kasey, running her hand up and down my cock as she did so. After a few moments, Erica guided Kasey to her feet and, her hand still wrapped around my cock, guiding me to follow, led us to the bed. As they stood I was reminded just how short Kasey was. She's beautiful, with brighter, flaming hair compared to her cousins' softer colour, but really small, at less than 5 foot tall.Reaching the bed, Erica released me and lay herself down on her back, shuffling on far enough that when she crooked her finger at Kasey, Kasey could climb onto the bed on her knees close to the edge. Erica spread her legs and Kasey immediately understood, wrapping her arms beneath Erica's legs and burying her face in my wife's soaking pussy. Erica moaned loudly and I could see the pleasure on her face. Clearly Kasey knew exactly how to pleasure her. I felt Alice's hands wrap around my cock as she knelt in front of me, and then the warmth of her mouth, as she wrapped it around the head. Slowly she slid me further into her mouth and began to suck. Erica fixed her eyes on mine and then glanced down at my throbbing cock, which was now buried deep into her sister's mouth. She pointedly moved her gaze from me to her cousin, and smiled at me."Alice," she said. Alice released my cock from her mouth and looked round, slowly running her hand up and down my shaft. "I think it's time Kasey got fucked, don't you?" Erica very rarely talks dirty, so this sentence on its own was enough to have my erection straining to grow even further than it already was.Alice turned on her knees and shuffled over behind Kasey. Taking hold of her cousin's dress, she lifted it up, over her hips, to reveal a perfect, pert arse, hidden only by a lacy, royal blue thong. Kasey's pussy was clearly soaking wet, and as Alice slowly peeled the thong down, eyes locked on mine, it stuck for a second in the moist area before uncovering a glistening, throbbing cunt, desperate to be fucked. Alice ran her tongue the entire length of the sopping crevice, bringing a long moan of pleasure from Kasey. She reached out again and took hold of my shaft, guiding me forwards to stand behind their cousin. I had an amazing view of Kasey's head buried between my wife's legs and the whole length of Erica's beautiful body, ending with her beautiful face creased in pleasure, and her blue eyes fixed on mine, as my cock slid into Kasey's waiting pussy. Alice's hand slipped up beneath me to rub her cousin's clit. Kasey must have been very ready, as less than ten seconds after I entered her warm wetness, I felt her contract and she arched her back, her head lifting from Erica's clit as she moaned so loud it was almost a scream to match the intensity of her orgasm.I continued to thrust in and out of Kasey as her orgasm subsided and she returned her attention to Erica's pussy. I could feel myself building to another orgasm soon too, as I slid in and out of her tight hole and watched my wife's face contorting in pleasure. I could tell she was beginning to get close to cumming too.Erica caught my eye and held my gaze."Alice," she said, not taking her eyes from me. "Come here." she continued, and then paused, staring intently into my eyes, before she continued, "I want to lick my husband's cum out of my little sister."This sentence nearly made me cum again on its own. Alice stood slowly from where she had been knelt next to me, and climbed onto the bed. Slowly, she crawled around so that she was facing towards me, her face above Erica's. She kissed her sister, and then slowly, seductively, watching me the whole time, crawled forwards until her pussy was above Erica's face. She knelt up, allowing me to see the whole bodies of both of them. My thrusts were unconsciously getting faster and I could hear Kasey's moans getting quicker and louder as I pounded into her. Slowly, Alice lowered herself almost onto Erica's face, and I watched as Erica wrapped her arms round Alice's legs and pulled herself up, her tongue reaching out to lick a bead of my cum which had escaped from Alice's pussy. As Erica's mouth continued up Alice's leg and reached her tight pussy, Alice moaned and put her arms behind her head, arching her back slightly to allow Erica better access to her clit, and me an incredible view of her beautiful body.Watching my beautiful wife tonguing her sister's pussy, hearing Alice's moans of pleasure, the sharp gasps of Kasey as my cock slammed into her, faster and faster, mingled with the muffled moans of Erica as Kasey expertly licked her wet cunt, all combined with the tight, slick walls of Kasey wrapped around my cock, not to mention the sheer sight of what was happening, soon brought my second orgasm of the night as I unloaded deep into Kasey's body. I held myself tall, with my cock buried into her right to the bottom of the shaft as I groaned in ecstasy. Erica came almost immediately afterwards, Kasey continuing to lap her juices as she cried out. Alice must have been close, because as Erica relaxed after the orgasm, she lowered herself further, almost demanding Erica continue, and as Erica resumed her tongue work, Alice ground herself against Erica's face, herself cumming just a few seconds later. Alice collapsed to the side after she came, lying panting next to my wife. Kasey lapped a couple more times at Erica's sopping pussy, before easing herself away from my rapidly dwindling erection and also rolling to the side next to Erica. Her dress fell back down beneath her legs as she did so, and I saw my cum dripping out onto the fabric.I merely stood for a few seconds, taking in the scene in front of me. Alice and Erica both lay with their eyes closed, their breath slowing down as they took a few seconds of rest. Kasey also lay in front of me, more to the edge of the bed, her dress still covering her top half and partway down her thighs, but her panties wrapped around her knees, where Alice had pulled them down to allow me in. My cock quickly stopped softening, but remained at half-mast after releasing two loads of seed.A few seconds was all it took for Kasey to catch her breath. She stood beside me and smiled, her short stature causing her to look up at me. "It's time you fucked your wife again," she said, and I saw Erica smile, her eyes still closed. "Looks like I need to help you get ready again though," she continued, looking at my semi-erect cock. She reached around her back and I heard her unzip her dress, a second before she pulled the front down to expose small, but pert breasts with rock hard nipples. She kissed me hard, reaching down to stroke my shaft as she did so, and I felt rather than saw her shuffle her dress down over her hips and then let it drop to the floor, taking her thong with it. She kicked both to the side and knelt, running one hand along my quickly hardening length and fondling my testicles with the other. As I regained my erection, she licked around the head, teasing me back to full hardness before taking me in her mouth again.Erica was watching now, and shifted herself to the bottom of the bed where I could enter her from a standing position. Seeing Erica pull herself close, Kasey released my cock from her warm mouth and guided it to Erica's moist pussy lips. Erica felt like heaven as I slowly pushed forward, my head parting her thick lips and her warmth engulfing me once more. Kasey stood and moved round to lie next to Erica as I began to slowly move backwards and forwards into her. She and Alice watched for maybe a minute as I had sex with my wife, then Kasey leaned in and kissed Erica, before moving to flick her tongue over her nipple. Erica loves having her nipples played with while we fuck, and began to moan immediately. She brought her legs up to my shoulders as she moaned in pleasure, allowing me more leverage to slide deeper inside her.I couldn't take my eyes from Erica's, until Kasey gasped and Erica looked round, breaking our eye contact. I followed her gaze to see Alice was returning the favour Kasey had done her earlier, licking at her cousin's cum-filled pussy. Kasey's moans built fast as Alice ate her cunt, and she only distractedly sucked and licked at Erica's nipples. This was enough to push Erica over the edge though, as she soon squealed as she orgasmed against my cock, and Kasey followed suit a couple of seconds later, releasing more of her own juices and probably some of mine for Alice's tongue to clean away. I pounded hard and fast into my wife then, ramming my full length into her belly until I felt myself ejaculate the little sperm I had left into her. The orgasm wracked through me and I spasmed as I shot twice, before collapsing, gasping to the side.All four of us lay panting for a short while, before Alice and Kasey quietly gathered their things, kissed me on the lips and wordlessly left, wrapped in towels they gathered from the bathroom.I reached out and took Erica's hand, not knowing what to say. We lay like that for a while, before she spoke. "I wanted tonight to be the best night of your life. I had you first, and I had you last, because we are first and last to each other, now. I love you.""I love you too," I responded. We got ourselves ready for bed, and had tired, quiet, intimate sex again before we fell asleep.by MysteryTe for Literotica.

The large bed took up the majority of one half of the room, but the rest of the suite was plenty big enough, with a table and chairs in one corner, a sofa by the wall and of course a large dressing table by another.As the door shut, Alice suggested that actually we should both help Erica with her buttons first. I was about to argue, as I had plans for her, as soon as I could get enough buttons undone, but she continued, pointing out it would allow Erica to get herself ready. She gave me a pointed look at that, and I saw Erica nod out of the corner of my eye, so I bit my tongue and we set to work unbuttoning all ninety-something of the buttons on the dress.I started at the top, and as I revealed more and more of my new wife's back, the inevitable happened and I felt the blood start to redirect to my cock. It was a little awkward, knowing that Alice, who was unbuttoning on her knees right next to me, could almost certainly see the bulge in my pants growing. Still, this was my wedding night, so I contented myself with the thought that with Alice's help, Erica would be out of the dress twice as fast.Sure enough, soon Alice and I met in the middle. We both grasped for the last button, and her hands closed around mine. She quickly pulled away, grazing my erection as she did so. Looking up at me, she blushed and must have seen me do the same as she giggled and murmured an amused, "sorry," as she stood up and turned around.Erica looked around as I undid the last button, and seeing Alice had her back to us, stepped out of the dress and turned to face me. Braless, her pert breasts showed rock hard nipples, telling me she was as horny as I was. Her wedding lingerie was a beautiful pair of almost see-through lacy panties and a similarly lacy garter, which caused my erection to strain against my pants again."You look beautiful," I whispered, and she smiled back, before pressing herself against me so I could feel her hard nipples against my chest, and planting a long, sensuous kiss on my lips.As she stepped away again, I noticed her panties were growing a dark, moist patch at the front and I almost pulled her back towards me, until she reminded me, "Sort Alice's dress out now. I'll just get ready in the bathroom."As she turned away, I turned my attention to her sister, waiting patiently by the sofa with her back to us. Looking at her dress, a long, pale blue, I was glad to see that while there were plenty of buttons, there were nowhere near as many as on Erica's. I started from the bottom this time, working my way up and Alice silently stretched her arms out in front of her. As I came up to her bottom, the dress started to open up, allowing me a perfect view of her pert, round arse. The buttons kept going and I was able to enjoy the unfolding view of her bum framed with pale blue, lacy thong panties. I kept unbuttoning, revealing her also braless back. She groaned in satisfaction as the tight dress loosened, and then caught me by surprise as she leaned right forwards, pressing her arms against the arm of the sofa. I had to step forwards to unfasten the last couple of buttons, and my crotch pressed against her bum. I was relieved to realise my cock had at least drooped to a semi, although it began to twitch again as it nestled between her cheeks. I could only hope she couldn't feel it.The last button came loose just as Alice straightened back up, and the entire dress fell to the floor around her. She jerked around and as I stepped quickly away I couldn't help seeing beautiful, perky breasts fully on show, rock hard nipples poking out above a flawless body, toned and slim with a couple centimetre gap I couldn't help noticing between her thighs. She stared at me for couple of seconds, before she slowly but deliberately covered her breasts. I stammered an apology.She smiled and chuckled. "It doesn't matter. We're family now. I'll go and tell Erica I'm out of my dress." A quick glance to my crotch told her I was fully erect again, and she smiled to herself as she lowered her arm to her side, showing me her breasts, before she stepped around me and headed to the bathroom. I assumed Erica would give her a towel or something to go back to her room in, and I began to undress, laying my jacket on the sofa and removing my shoes, before taking off my tie and unbuttoning my top buttons, making myself comfortable for Erica's return.Erica came out of the bathroom quickly, closing the door behind her. She kissed me and then stepped back, holding something behind her back. I admired her almost naked body for a second, and then asked what she had behind her back."All in good time," she responded, before directing me to take a chair from under the table and sit on it in the middle of the room, facing away from her. I did as I was told, and was almost immediately blindfolded. "Won't be a second," she whispered, and a few seconds later I heard her open the bathroom door, and shortly afterwards the room door opened briefly and then closed again. Alice must have left. Idly I wondered what she'd used to cover up.Sat in darkness, I could only wait for what would happen next. My erection strained in anticipation. Soon, I felt Erica's lips against mine, as she kissed me, long and deep. She whispered to me to keep my hands by my side, as her hands roamed my body, first unbuttoning my shirt, before moving to the clasp of my belt. She undid this and unbuttoned my pants, before pulling them down. I lifted my feet and she removed them, before pulling off my socks. She stood again between my legs and then climbed atop to straddle me. Her breasts pressed against my face and I sucked and licked her hard nipples as she ground herself against my rock hard cock. Her lacy panties and my boxers did nothing to hide the fact her pussy was sopping wet as she slid back and forth.After a minute or so, Erica climbed off again and immediately pulled at my boxers, revealing my thick, eight inch erection. My cock was throbbing with the need for her, and she duly obliged, climbing back on top of me and guiding my cock smoothly into her drenched pussy. She slid on easily, moaning loudly in pleasure as my whole eight inches entered her, and then started to grind and circle, a method she always used when she was desperate for orgasm but wanted me to last longer, as it provided minimal friction for me. I could feel her panties had been moved to one side rather than removed completely, which, if anything, was even more of a turn on, having seen her in those lacy knickers earlier. I returned my attention to her nipples, as having them sucked while she rode me was a sure-fire way of bringing her to climax. Sure enough, after only a few seconds I felt her tense and she moaned loudly as she came hard, clinging to me and kissing me hard.After a few breathless seconds, she climbed back off me, easing herself off my cock now soaked in her juices. I reached up to remove the blindfold, eager to continue. Just as I reached, she grabbed my hand. "Not yet," she whispered into my ear, and I let my hand return to my sides. A couple of seconds later, I felt her hands on my legs, pushing them apart. She crawled between them and her hand closed around the bottom of my cock. Her other hand cupped my testicles as she guided my length down and I felt her warm, wet mouth enclose the head, sucking her juices off it. She took it out of her mouth and licked around the shaft, lapping up her cum, before returning the head to her mouth and beginning to suck as her hand started to move up and down my length. Erica didn't often go down on me, so I quickly felt myself nearing orgasm. I whispered to her to let her know, and she silently gave one, final, long lick from the bottom of the shaft right to the eye of my penis, sending shivers through my whole body as she tasted the pre-cum oozing from me.Shuffling back, she moved from between my legs, and seconds later I felt her step across me. This time, she remained standing, and I felt her backside against my chest. Placing her hands on my knees, I sensed her leaning forward, and the delicate musk of a wet pussy entered my nostrils. Ducking my head slightly, I kissed her bottom, following the shape of her until I was able to kiss her soaked panties. I trailed my tongue along her wet groove, and heard a low moan. One hand moved from my knee and I felt the panties move to one side, allowing me access to her sweet pussy. I kissed, first, before licking along her groove several times, moving from the hole all the way up to her tiny arsehole and back. Unable to quite reach down to her clitoris, I lifted my hands and moved her forwards slightly, allowing me to reach my tongue down to her clit, which I began to flick with my tongue, drawing small moans of pleasure.Soon, the moans began to increase in intensity, and she finally removed a hand from my knee to take hold of my cock, guiding herself onto it as she lowered her wet pussy back onto my length. I groaned as the moist warmth enveloped my cock. She lowered herself slowly this time, and I heard a small gasp as I filled her further. She felt tighter this time. Perhaps after her first orgasm she'd satisfied herself more than she expected. Her tight pussy wasn't fully taking me, and she began to slowly move up and down on me, her tight wetness sending waves of pleasure through my cock. I decided now was the time to move my hands, and I reached around to massage her clit with my right hand as she rode me. My left hand reached higher, grasping at her chest. Something felt... different, somehow. I put it down to the angle, and began to play with her hard nipple.The feeling of her tight, wet pussy gliding up and down on my cock was incredible. Her right arm wrapped sensuously around my head and pulled me into a deep kiss, her tongue wrestling with mine. I knew I wouldn't last too much longer. Then, as she slid up and down, finally reaching the bottom of my shaft and fully impaling herself on my cock, I felt her cup my testicles and take one into her mouth.I know. It took me a second or two to move past the pleasure to realise. If she was kissing me... whose mouth was sucking on my balls? I began to reach for the blindfold when her left hand grabbed mine and held it hard against her clit. In my confusion I hadn't realised her moans were getting louder. She was nearing climax again. Her kisses were deep and intense and her movements spoke of a fervour for orgasm. I felt the mouth release my balls and a tongue ran up the length of my shaft onto her pussy.Suddenly I felt a hand on each side of my head and the blindfold lifted. The scene was one I could never have imagined. The face I was kissing, whose nipple I had between my fingers, whose clit I was rubbing, whose pussy was grinding on my cock, whose moans of orgasm suddenly screamed out of her mouth as her back arched and her cunt flooded over me, was Alice. Between her legs was the tongue of their cousin, Kasey, her long, red curls framing her pretty face as she licked up and down my shaft and Alice's pussy, still wearing her long, royal blue dress."I want tonight to be the best night of your life," Erica whispered down my ear, her hands coming to rest on my shoulders and her breasts pressing against my head as her sister orgasmed on my cock. Needless to say, the whole scene was too much for me, and I unloaded with a groan, cum spurting into Alice's wet cunt as we came together.As Alice's orgasm subsided and she relaxed against me, my erection inside her right to the balls, Kasey slowly, sensuously lapped up the combination of my cum and Alice's as it seeped from her. I'd always known that Erica and her cousin had experimented briefly in their late teens, but it would seem Alice had no reservations about her cousin's tongue either, suggesting Kasey had helped both sisters with their experimenting.Alice turned her head to kiss me again, and then slowly climbed off me, my cum dribbling down the inside of one of her thighs. Kasey took my length in her mouth, sucking Alice's juices from the shaft. After a moment, Erica joined her, on her knees before me, and the two took it in turns to keep me erect following my orgasm. Alice draped herself over my shoulders from behind and we alternated between kissing and watching the two licking and sucking on my hard cock. When it became clear I wasn't going to lose my stiffness, Erica began to kiss Kasey, running her hand up and down my cock as she did so. After a few moments, Erica guided Kasey to her feet and, her hand still wrapped around my cock, guiding me to follow, led us to the bed. As they stood I was reminded just how short Kasey was. She's beautiful, with brighter, flaming hair compared to her cousins' softer colour, but really small, at less than 5 foot tall.Reaching the bed, Erica released me and lay herself down on her back, shuffling on far enough that when she crooked her finger at Kasey, Kasey could climb onto the bed on her knees close to the edge. Erica spread her legs and Kasey immediately understood, wrapping her arms beneath Erica's legs and burying her face in my wife's soaking pussy. Erica moaned loudly and I could see the pleasure on her face. Clearly Kasey knew exactly how to pleasure her. I felt Alice's hands wrap around my cock as she knelt in front of me, and then the warmth of her mouth, as she wrapped it around the head. Slowly she slid me further into her mouth and began to suck. Erica fixed her eyes on mine and then glanced down at my throbbing cock, which was now buried deep into her sister's mouth. She pointedly moved her gaze from me to her cousin, and smiled at me."Alice," she said. Alice released my cock from her mouth and looked round, slowly running her hand up and down my shaft. "I think it's time Kasey got fucked, don't you?" Erica very rarely talks dirty, so this sentence on its own was enough to have my erection straining to grow even further than it already was.Alice turned on her knees and shuffled over behind Kasey. Taking hold of her cousin's dress, she lifted it up, over her hips, to reveal a perfect, pert arse, hidden only by a lacy, royal blue thong. Kasey's pussy was clearly soaking wet, and as Alice slowly peeled the thong down, eyes locked on mine, it stuck for a second in the moist area before uncovering a glistening, throbbing cunt, desperate to be fucked. Alice ran her tongue the entire length of the sopping crevice, bringing a long moan of pleasure from Kasey. She reached out again and took hold of my shaft, guiding me forwards to stand behind their cousin. I had an amazing view of Kasey's head buried between my wife's legs and the whole length of Erica's beautiful body, ending with her beautiful face creased in pleasure, and her blue eyes fixed on mine, as my cock slid into Kasey's waiting pussy. Alice's hand slipped up beneath me to rub her cousin's clit. Kasey must have been very ready, as less than ten seconds after I entered her warm wetness, I felt her contract and she arched her back, her head lifting from Erica's clit as she moaned so loud it was almost a scream to match the intensity of her orgasm.I continued to thrust in and out of Kasey as her orgasm subsided and she returned her attention to Erica's pussy. I could feel myself building to another orgasm soon too, as I slid in and out of her tight hole and watched my wife's face contorting in pleasure. I could tell she was beginning to get close to cumming too.Erica caught my eye and held my gaze."Alice," she said, not taking her eyes from me. "Come here." she continued, and then paused, staring intently into my eyes, before she continued, "I want to lick my husband's cum out of my little sister."This sentence nearly made me cum again on its own. Alice stood slowly from where she had been knelt next to me, and climbed onto the bed. Slowly, she crawled around so that she was facing towards me, her face above Erica's. She kissed her sister, and then slowly, seductively, watching me the whole time, crawled forwards until her pussy was above Erica's face. She knelt up, allowing me to see the whole bodies of both of them. My thrusts were unconsciously getting faster and I could hear Kasey's moans getting quicker and louder as I pounded into her. Slowly, Alice lowered herself almost onto Erica's face, and I watched as Erica wrapped her arms round Alice's legs and pulled herself up, her tongue reaching out to lick a bead of my cum which had escaped from Alice's pussy. As Erica's mouth continued up Alice's leg and reached her tight pussy, Alice moaned and put her arms behind her head, arching her back slightly to allow Erica better access to her clit, and me an incredible view of her beautiful body.Watching my beautiful wife tonguing her sister's pussy, hearing Alice's moans of pleasure, the sharp gasps of Kasey as my cock slammed into her, faster and faster, mingled with the muffled moans of Erica as Kasey expertly licked her wet cunt, all combined with the tight, slick walls of Kasey wrapped around my cock, not to mention the sheer sight of what was happening, soon brought my second orgasm of the night as I unloaded deep into Kasey's body. I held myself tall, with my cock buried into her right to the bottom of the shaft as I groaned in ecstasy. Erica came almost immediately afterwards, Kasey continuing to lap her juices as she cried out. Alice must have been close, because as Erica relaxed after the orgasm, she lowered herself further, almost demanding Erica continue, and as Erica resumed her tongue work, Alice ground herself against Erica's face, herself cumming just a few seconds later. Alice collapsed to the side after she came, lying panting next to my wife. Kasey lapped a couple more times at Erica's sopping pussy, before easing herself away from my rapidly dwindling erection and also rolling to the side next to Erica. Her dress fell back down beneath her legs as she did so, and I saw my cum dripping out onto the fabric.I merely stood for a few seconds, taking in the scene in front of me. Alice and Erica both lay with their eyes closed, their breath slowing down as they took a few seconds of rest. Kasey also lay in front of me, more to the edge of the bed, her dress still covering her top half and partway down her thighs, but her panties wrapped around her knees, where Alice had pulled them down to allow me in. My cock quickly stopped softening, but remained at half-mast after releasing two loads of seed.A few seconds was all it took for Kasey to catch her breath. She stood beside me and smiled, her short stature causing her to look up at me. "It's time you fucked your wife again," she said, and I saw Erica smile, her eyes still closed. "Looks like I need to help you get ready again though," she continued, looking at my semi-erect cock. She reached around her back and I heard her unzip her dress, a second before she pulled the front down to expose small, but pert breasts with rock hard nipples. She kissed me hard, reaching down to stroke my shaft as she did so, and I felt rather than saw her shuffle her dress down over her hips and then let it drop to the floor, taking her thong with it. She kicked both to the side and knelt, running one hand along my quickly hardening length and fondling my testicles with the other. As I regained my erection, she licked around the head, teasing me back to full hardness before taking me in her mouth again.Erica was watching now, and shifted herself to the bottom of the bed where I could enter her from a standing position. Seeing Erica pull herself close, Kasey released my cock from her warm mouth and guided it to Erica's moist pussy lips. Erica felt like heaven as I slowly pushed forward, my head parting her thick lips and her warmth engulfing me once more. Kasey stood and moved round to lie next to Erica as I began to slowly move backwards and forwards into her. She and Alice watched for maybe a minute as I had sex with my wife, then Kasey leaned in and kissed Erica, before moving to flick her tongue over her nipple. Erica loves having her nipples played with while we fuck, and began to moan immediately. She brought her legs up to my shoulders as she moaned in pleasure, allowing me more leverage to slide deeper inside her.I couldn't take my eyes from Erica's, until Kasey gasped and Erica looked round, breaking our eye contact. I followed her gaze to see Alice was returning the favour Kasey had done her earlier, licking at her cousin's cum-filled pussy. Kasey's moans built fast as Alice ate her cunt, and she only distractedly sucked and licked at Erica's nipples. This was enough to push Erica over the edge though, as she soon squealed as she orgasmed against my cock, and Kasey followed suit a couple of seconds later, releasing more of her own juices and probably some of mine for Alice's tongue to clean away. I pounded hard and fast into my wife then, ramming my full length into her belly until I felt myself ejaculate the little sperm I had left into her. The orgasm wracked through me and I spasmed as I shot twice, before collapsing, gasping to the side.All four of us lay panting for a short while, before Alice and Kasey quietly gathered their things, kissed me on the lips and wordlessly left, wrapped in towels they gathered from the bathroom.I reached out and took Erica's hand, not knowing what to say. We lay like that for a while, before she spoke. "I wanted tonight to be the best night of your life. I had you first, and I had you last, because we are first and last to each other, now. I love you.""I love you too," I responded. We got ourselves ready for bed, and had tired, quiet, intimate sex again before we fell asleep.by MysteryTe for Literotica.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. Podcaster Chris Williamson has recently caused a bit of a stir in the productivity world with the phrase “the productivity rain dance”. Cal Newport picked this up and it's something I've written and spoken about for many years.  If you are obsessing about productivity tools—apps, techniques and systems—you're not doing the work. You're doing the productivity rain dance. It's organising, planning and searching for new tools in the hope that somehow the work will get done.  It won't. And while you are wasting all that time planning, and playing, the work continues to pile up.  This week's question is linked to this in that it's about tools and organising work and I hope, my answer will help you find the balance between collecting, organising and doing.  Before I hand you over to the Mystery Podcast voice for this week's question, I'd like to mention that the first Ultimate Productivity Workshop of 2025 is coming.  On Fridays 14th and 21st March I invite you to spend two hours with me learning how to create a time management and productivity system that's focused on doing the work so you have time for the things you want time for.  In the workshop, we will cover getting control of your calendar and task manager . Then in week two, I will show you some simple techniques to get control of, and more importantly, stay in control of your communications—email, Slack/Teams messages AND the all important daily and weekly planning sessions.  Places are limited so, if you would like to develop a personal productivity system that is focused on doing rather than organising and planning, get yourself registered today. The link to register is in the show notes.  Okay, back to this episode. Let me now hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Alastair. Alastair asks, hi Carl. I recently came across your work and wonder how you avoid getting caught up in the wonderful world of productivity apps. I never seem to able to stick to anything and I know I am wasting time.   Hi Alastair, thank you for sending in your question.  I'm not sure you are necessarily wasting time looking for the right tools. If you are at the start of your productivity journey, finding the right tools is inevitable and yes, it can be confusing. There are so many.  However, there comes a point when you need to stop and settle down with a set of tools.  Those tools are: A calendar, a notes app and a task manager.  The good news is the built in tools that comes with your computer will do. You don't need expensive subscriptions to so called AI enabled tools or collaborative project management tools.  What are you trying to do when you decide it's time to get organised and be “productive”?  It's not about getting more work done. That's a bit of a misnomer about productivity. It's about getting the important stuff done and eliminating the less important.  Getting your kids up, dressed, fed and ready for school each morning is important at 7:30 am. Checking email and messages is not. There's a time and place for those messages, but 7:30 am is not the time.  The world we live in today has made communication incredible fast and easy. Forty years ago, the only forms of communication were letters and telephone calls. (Although some offices had fax machines too). If you were not next to a telephone, no one could contact you. And if you were not in the office, you didn't know what surprises were contained in the correspondence waiting for you.  It was therefore easier to compartmentalise your days. Today, it's much more difficult because you can be alerted to problems instantly, and those problems can derail your day very quickly.  The challenge therefore is to be able to quickly sift through all the stuff coming at us and to decide what is important and what is not.  When things are coming at us all day, they appear loud and urgent. But urgent is not necessarily important.  If you have a thousand emails backlogged in your email system and your boss is demanding you send in your employee evaluations by the end of the week, your employee evaluations are the more important task. The backlog will have to wait.  And let's be honest, if someone's been waiting three months for you to reply to their email they're not going to be bothered if they have to wait a further week.  If you consider that scenario for a moment, your productivity tools are not going to help you.  The only thing you need to know is that writing your employee evaluations must be done. Shuffling that task around your productivity tools won't do that for you. You are, in effect, procrastinating. I like the analogy to the rain dance here. A rain dance is performed to persuade God or the gods to bring rain to water the crops. Yet, the dance doesn't produce the rain. You can dance as much as you like, you can wear elaborate costumes and involve other people. None of that will give you what you want—water to feed the crops.  You can download as many productivity tools as you like. You can organise your notes in such a way that finding stuff is quick and easy and you can spend hours curating your notes and tasks so they look pretty. Yet, none of that gets the work done.  Doing the work is the only way the work will get done. So, all you need each day is a list of things you have decided are important and you get done and do them.  For that, you don't need expensive apps. A single sheet of paper would do that.  I've always found it interesting how productive people get their work done. The common thread is they do the work, not organise it.  If you Google Albert Einstein's desk you will see a mess. Papers and books strewn all over the place. If you search for Jeff Bezos' desk from the early days of Amazon, you'll see something very similar.  These guys got a tremendous amount of work done without the need for clean and tidy systems. They got on with doing the work that mattered and cleaned up when they were finished.  Sadly, unproductive people don't achieve very much so we cannot see their workspaces, but I'll bet they were beautifully neat and tidy with bookshelves of neatly organised books and papers lined up perfectly on their desks.  A few years ago I got into watching YouTube videos of minimalist desk set ups. (Weirdly, these videos are still popular!). I remember at the time wondering how they ever got any work done. It must have taken hours to keep their workspace so clean.  The key to all of this is knowing what is important and what is not. This is why I recommend doing two exercises before you begin developing any kind of system.  The first is to establish what your areas of focus are. These eight areas around your family and relationships, career, finances, health and fitness, lifestyle and personal development are important because they define what is important to you as an individual.  The next is to get clear what your core work is. This is the work you are employed to do and directly effects your promotional prospects and ultimately your income.  Being quick to answer your phone, respond to a message or email or being on time to every meeting is not your core work. Well, not unless you work in customer support.  Once you know what your areas of focus are and your core work is, you have a pre-defined set of priorities on which to base your decisions about what you should be doing each day.  For example, one of my areas of focus related to my work (career) is to help as many people as I can become more productive and less stressed. To do that, I produce several pieces of content each week.  Creating and publishing that content is always a priority for me.  I don't need a lot of tools to to do that.  A calendar protects time each week for creating that content—I have twelve hours a week protected for this.  I have a very disorganised list of content ideas in a single note in Evernote—a notes app I've been using for almost 16 years now.  And, of course, I have an app for writing and producing that content.  Are there better calendars, notes apps and writing tools out there? Possibly, but how much faster would I be able to create content with those new tools? Probably no faster because using them would be unfamiliar to me.  The tools I use I've used for over ten years. I know them inside out and they are boring. And that's good because I'm not tempted to organise them, or even look for new apps. They do the job I need them to do and I can focus on creating the content.  If you want to become more productive and get the important things done on time every time, the only way you will do that is to do the work. There are no shortcuts and no productivity tool will do it for you. Only you can do that.  If you need to write a report, open up Microsoft Work or Google Docs and write the first paragraph. If you need to prepare a presentation, open up PowerPoint or Keynote and create the first slide.  If you need to wash your car, go to the car wash centre and wash your car.  If you need to do your taxes, download the documents and write in your name and national insurance number.  Funny how none of those things requires you to add a task into a task manager. You just need to decide when you will do them and do them.  So there you go, Alastair. Focus less on the tools and more on what you need to do to get the job done. You really don't need elaborate apps, complex organisational structures or a minimalist desk.  You just need time protected to get the work done.  Thank you, Alastair for your question and thank you for listening. Don't forget to get yourself registered for the Ultimate Productivity Workshop where will cover many of these concepts (and much more). It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton delve into the fascinating concept of cognitive shuffling and how it can be a game-changer for first responders, especially law enforcement officers. Falling asleep after a high-stress shift can feel impossible and many use natural supplements like melatonin (Amazon Affiliate) for support. cognitive shuffling offers a practical, science-backed method to calm your mind and improve sleep quality. You'll learn what cognitive shuffling is, why it works, and how to use it effectively to wind down after intense days on the job. This episode provides actionable insights to help you take control of your sleep, even in the most challenging circumstances. What is Cognitive Shuffling? Discover how this innovative technique works by engaging your brain in a non-linear thought process to calm racing thoughts and promote relaxation. Why Cognitive Shuffling is Perfect for High-Stress Jobs: Learn how it redirects your brain's focus from stress and anxiety to a neutral, calming state, making it particularly useful for first responders who struggle to “turn off” after intense shifts. How to Practice Cognitive Shuffling: 1. Choose a Neutral Word: Example: Pick a simple, non-emotional word like “apple” or “house.” Why It's Beneficial: Neutral words help your mind disengage from stressful or emotional thoughts. 2. Break the Word Into Letters: Example: Start with the letter “A” in “apple” and think of unrelated words that begin with “A” (e.g., “ant,” “arrow,” “arcade”). Move on to “P” and repeat the process. Why It's Beneficial: Keeps your brain occupied in a structured yet calming way, preventing it from spiraling into anxiety. 3. Let the Process Be Random: Example: Allow your mind to wander through the alphabet without forcing connections between the words you choose. Why It's Beneficial: This randomness keeps your brain from overthinking and gently leads you toward a state of relaxation. 4. Use a Cognitive Shuffling App or Guided Tool: Example: Apps like “MySleepButton” can guide you through the process with pre-programmed cues. Why It's Beneficial: Provides an easy, structured way to try cognitive shuffling, especially if you're new to the technique. 5. Pair It with a Relaxing Routine: Example: Dim the lights, avoid screens, and use cognitive shuffling as the last step in your wind-down routine. Why It's Beneficial: Reinforces a consistent sleep schedule and optimizes your body's ability to relax. Why Sleep is Critical for First Responders: Understand the physical and mental toll of sleep deprivation and how improving sleep quality can enhance job performance, emotional regulation, and overall health. How Cognitive Shuffling Can Help Beyond Sleep: Discover how this technique can also reduce anxiety and overthinking during high-stress situations, offering a tool you can use both on and off the job. Why This Matters: As a first responder, sleep is your foundation for resilience, performance, and well-being. High-stress environments can disrupt your ability to rest, but cognitive shuffling offers a simple, effective way to calm your mind and get the restorative sleep you need. Listen now to learn how to use cognitive shuffling to take control of your sleep and show up ready for whatever challenges come your way!     Secure your firearm with my buy one get one free affiliate code from STOPBOX http://stopboxusa.com/LEOWARRIORS All viewpoints discussed in this episode are for entertainment purposes only and are simply our opinions based off of our own experience, background and education.
