School girl in bondage

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

My girlfriend always seemed to enjoy seeing just how much she could get away with doing some form of our bondage in public. She does this partly because she finds it fun, mostly because she knows it drives me out of my tree. Usually, I'm able to fast-talk my way out of potentially embarrassing situations with Mundanes, but yesterday she very nearly got me fired. Yesterday afternoon we had lunch together. Afterward, she accompanied me back to my place of work. I thought this slightly unusual, since she had never before expressed an interest in my work (electronic engineering), but it didn't occur to me that she had something planned. We arrived at my workbench, where I'm currently trying to figure out why the hell board on which I'm working is not performing the way I designed it. "Is this where you work?" she asked. "At the moment," I replied. I reached over to turn on the scope, thereby completely failing to notice the huge studded black leather collar she produced from her purse. Before I could even blink (it's amazing the speed at which she can do this), she had locked the collar snugly around my neck, and locked the end of the six-foot jack chain to the center of the bench (where there just happened to be a mounting hole, dammit). I turned to face her in utter disbelief, mouth agape. "I'll be back for you at five," she said. "HAVE YOU GONE COMPLETELY WACKO!!?!?" I yelled in a hushed voice. "HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS???" "You'll think of something," she said, dropping the keys into her cleavage. "You always do." "But suppose I have to go to the bathroom," I countered. "Don't give me that," she said. "I've seen you go for a whole day without visiting the bathroom." "But...," I tried to say. "SHHH! The subject is closed. I'll be back at five. Bye." She turned and left, against my hushed protests. I sat in panic and tried to think out my situation. I tried to think of all the people who might visit. Most of my co-workers were friends who knew that my girlfriend and I were a bit odd, so this shouldn't surprise them. But I had *no* idea what I was going to say if one of my bosses came in. I checked my watch to see how long I would have to endure this ignominy. 13:30 (I'm a military time weenie). "Three and a half hours," I thought. I heaved a sigh, and got to work, such as I could.

As we layed there under the covers, cuddling, and fondling, we rested from our recent ectasy. Kathy coyly smiled and asked, "So, who wins the bet?" No question at all in my mind. "You do." Kathy smiled. "Good. I knew I would. Next weekend when we meet, you'll need to pay up." She giggled, then winked.

Pretty girl tied up

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

I caressed Kathy's breasts and massaged her thick nipples. She began to rock her hips backwards and forwards pressing her pubic bone into my hips, trying to get clitoral stimulation any way she could. She began to pump up and down my cock at an increasing pace, this time not holding back. She began to moan and girgle as she always does when she nears orgasm. I met her downward thrusts with upward thrusts of my own. Soon, the bed began to bang against the wall in that tell-tale way associated with many motels. Kathy began to sigh and squeal. I began to moan myself. I felt an orgasm coming, but it wasn't near yet. Kathy began to thrust harder. She reached back behind her and under her ass and began to caress my balls. She knew how to pull my strings and enhance my stimulation. Soon, I was nearing ejaculation and she was near an orgasm. As I tried to keep massaging her breasts and nipples, she began to shudder. I thrust harder upwards to keep up the pace as she began to lose control. Within seconds we were both in a frenzy of erotic babblings. Kathy squealed quite loudly and I let out a long, and unusually loud moan as we came together.

sex and bondage in a dungeon

Monday, December 17th, 2007

She didn't move for a while, but released my head. Soon, she moved off from over my head and moved to the side of the bed. She took my cock in her mouth and began to suck my cock back to life again. Kathy was soon on top, slowly guiding my resurrected cock into her slick tunnel. Very slowly she lowered herself fully onto my shaft. Then, she sat for a few minutes. Slowly, she raised herself up to the tip of my cock, and slowly lowered herself back down. Kathy continued this slow fuck pumping up and down ever so slowly. Again, Kathy slowed to a stop. This time, however, she leaned forward and unfastened my wrists. Then, she reached back and took off the leg cuffs. She wanted my movement. Kathy started once again. She warned me that she was to be in control and I was to cue off her movements. Up and down she slowly fucked herself, and me. It was mind boggling. She increased the tempo slowly to a comfortable pace, but again stopped, and sat only moving her hips gently in a circle. Over and over again, she would fuck me slowly, then stop. Each time, she increased the tempo, and would stop. After doing this six times, I thought I would go mad. Kathy removed my blindfold. I squinted at my new surroundings after being deprived of light for what seemed like days.

Girl sexy bondage

Friday, December 14th, 2007

I began to lick the outsides of her lips. As soon as my tongue touched her lips, I knew this whole evening was turning her on as well. She was wet. I never knew her to be as wet as this. I was in heaven. I began recklessly lapping like a dog drinking beer. I wanted more. Soon, though, I felt her thighs begin to squeeze. I immediately saw that a signal to improve my oral sex technique. I slowed my pace and moved to her inner lips. I snaked my tongue up to her clitoris, then back down, around. I again attacked her clitoris. She began to sway her hips, moving them in small circles. I inserted my tongue into her vagina trying to fuck it. She pressed her pussy back against my face as I tried to stick my tongue in as far as I could. I pulled my tongue out and slid it back to her clitoris. I made small, but firm circles around the hood, then licked it directly. Kathy jumped a bit. I then sucked her clitoris between my lips and tugged the best I could and released it. Kathy began to moan. I sped up my tongue and drove it back into her vagina. I then moved it back to her inner folds and licked faster. I moved to her clit again, and sucked it between my lips still stimulating it with my tongue. I felt Kathy shudder, her legs quivered, and finally, her low, throatly moan and then she shaked.

Bondage and domination

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Kathy cleaned up my cum, and let me rest.... After about 20 minutes, I felt the bed again give way. I was surprised that I didn't fall asleep with the blindfold still on. Kathy took off the handcuffs and transferred my wrists to some sort of ties on each side of the mattress. They felt like neckties or some sort of very soft rope. One thing was for sure...I couldn't move my hands very far. Before I had time to think about it, I felt Kathy crawl toward my head and her sexy thighs stradle my head. "Ok slave Allan, now its my turn. Unlike males, females need a jumpstart. I need to get my motor purring so I can help out your ego by cumming when you do. Start licking sweety." With that, I felt Kathy move up over my head and hook her calves under my arms. She squeezed, now cutting off another sense...my hearing. She lowered her pussy to my face, bumping it first along my nose, making sure I would get a snootful and helping me to orient myself. Since I couldn't move my head too well, I was restricted to how and where I could lick. Then, I figured out that that was the way she wanted it. She didn't want to be teased. She wanted to get down to business. I opened my mouth so my lips could meet her pussy lips. As my lips met her sex, I was again surprised. She was clean shaven! Never had Kathy consented to shaving her pubic hair with the exception of her usual bikini area hair.

Make the slave cum

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

Soon, with all the heavenly attention, my cock came back to life. It was rock solid in less than a minute. Kathy keep slurping loud enough so I could hear, something she normally does not do. Her tongue was torture on the head of my cock. It traced firm circles from the base of the head, slowly like a corkscrew to the tip, taking time to lick all the pre-cum, and then back down to the starting point. She continued this treatment until I was moments from orgasm. Then, suddenly, she stopped. The frustration got the better of me and I moaned and sighed. Kathy raised an eyebrow to that, "So, do you disagree with the way I am treating my slave?" She giggled. I chose to play safe and not let any sounds escape my mouth. I lay on the bed for quite some time, and once again became soft. "I want my slave to last when I fuck him. So, we will make him cum. We just can't have him cumming before I do." Again, she giggled. This time, she didn't use oral sex to tease me. She got down to business and used her wonderful hands. One of her hands grabbed my balls, and she gently began to caress them. With her other hand, she used a few fingers to dance around the skin of my cock until slowly it began to grow to its full length. As she continued to caress my balls with her hand, she began to stroke my cock. She started low on the base of my cock and worked her hand up to the head, then back down. She knew my pace and rhythm. Slowly, she picked up the pace, pumping her small, soft hand up and down my shaft. Soon, I found myself arching my back. Kathy picked up her pace and pumped faster and faster. She fondled my balls more vigorously, sometimes squeezing gently, and pulling firmly toward the mattress. Within a few seconds, my cum was shooting up and all over her hand.

Enjoying Bondage

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

Surprising me, Arthur sternly turned me around and unfastened the handcuffs. But, before I could do anything, he left my right wrist secured, brought my wrists in front of me, and relocked the handcuffs. Then, I was bent over his knees. I was beginning to get apprehensive. I could tell he was naked, and enjoying himself. Even though I couldn't see, I knew he was smiling. And, he was enjoying this. So was I.

Submissive Girl

Monday, October 29th, 2007

I was apprehensive. I could pick any number, and it could be anything but Kathy's hand. I decided not to waste any time and anger her. So, I picked number two. "Ah, you got lucky. It is only the paddle." Only the paddle!?! Oh my. Kathy stood me up and began to tease me. She knew how much I like my penis stimulated in any way. She gently caressed my balls and traced her soft fingers around the head of my cock. Pre-cum had already oozed out the tip, but she spread it around to make room for more to come.

Submit To Punishment

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

This was very interesting and exciting. Now only was I being deprived of most of my senses, I was having to pick my own outcome in this punishment! I was in control of my destiny (so-to-speak) yet, Kathy was in total control. It was driving me wild. So far, I felt like she was well on her way to winning this bet! I had never experienced anything like this. It was erotic/semi-humiliation/and exciting.

Kinky Bondage Lover
Kathy began tugging on my leash. I got the signal and stood. "What's next Kathy?" "Did I give you permission to talk, boy? I don't think I did. How would you like to pick another number out of the hat?" I shook my head. "I didn't think so. Consider that a warning." Kathy then pushed me from behind so that my calves met the bed. I wasn't sure what side. She helped me up to my knees on the bed. "Now, I have planned this for quite some time, as if you didn't notice. In front of you are three instruments. One will be my hand. The other will be your very own belt. And the third will be one of those paddles from a ball and paddle game from WalMart. They don't lay in order in front of you. You will pick a number from 1 to 3. I will then pick that instrument from right to left using the number you give me. I will then use that instrument to give you your well earned spanking. Now pick."

Slave Tortured

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

The first 'blow' fell with a resounding SMACK. It didn't hurt too much. But, no sooner than I began to think about how intense it was, another fell *SMACK*. Gradually, Kathy paddled my ass, slowly increasing the intensity. All through the spanking, Kathty made sure to move her thighs about, mostly up and down. This was sheer torture for my cock which was buried between her milky thighs. Several times I came close to ejaculation...she knew it. And, she laughed each time. By 30, I was praying she would stop early. But, she didn't. She prolonged my anxiety. At 30, she slowed the pace of her 'blows' waiting for a random amount of time between each one. She also made each stroke much harder. At 38, she warned, "Now, these last two are going to be quite hard.

Discipline Lesson

Discipline Lesson
Now I knew she was REALLY serious. But, my cock responded by getting as hard as I think it has been in quite a while. But, how was I going to pick those pieces of paper? Soon, I found out. Pressed into my face was a hat. I couldn't figure out what kind of hat it was since I hadn't worn any. But, that's what it was. "Open your mouth and grab a piece of paper. There are five in there." Kathy shook the hat a little and replaced it over by face. I opened my mouth and found nothing. So, I stuck out my tongue and touched a piece of paper, brought it to my lips and held on. I Mmhmmed as a signal that I had one. "Ok, let's see what we have here." Kathy took the paper from my mouth and giggled. "Boy, you are going to get it. This is pretty good. This piece of paper has the number 20 on it! You will be getting 40 on the ass. I will make it read too. Maybe you won't soon forget to be civil and keep after your messes!"

newcomer in sex and submission
"Now, sit back. There is a chair behind you. When you sit, make sure your knees are parted." I moved back, hesitantly, until the front of the chair bumped the backs of my legs. Now I knew where I was going. The feeling was reassuring. I sat down and spread my legs as asked. My handcuffed wrists stuck out behind the back of the chair. "Now," Kathy announced, "about the bathroom. I don't know how many times I ask when we are together, but you left a mess. You'll have to pay. And, you will probably regret the mess you made as I have never spanked a man before, but you don't know how many times I wanted to. So, I have been reserving my feelings for some time. You won't be disappointed. 20 strokes ought to be enough, but, to make sure, I think I will write down some numbers on pieces of paper and let you pick the additional strokes that should make you remember your paddling."

I listened for Kathy as she walked away from me. She went into the bathroom and took a shower herself. I knew better than move. I was never sure when she might be looking. Even though the water was on, I couldn't be sure she wasn't in the shower. It seemed like a long time. I could see out the peep-hole and felt very exposed as I watched people pass by and enter and exit their rooms. What did seem like a long time was not probably. About 30 minutes later, I heared Kathy's voice behind me, "Don't move. I'm putting a blindfold on you." This was no ordinary blindfold. First, Kathy put a sleeping blindfold over my head. These blindfolds are usually used to sleep in. And, they are quite effective at keeping the light out. But, next, Kathy put a bandana around the blinfold and tied it snuggly on my head. "There, that should keep you deprived of your site."

Sexual Domination

Sexual Domination
I quickly shed the rest of my clothes, placed them in the extra garbage bag that was inside the plastic pail, tied up the sides in a granny knot, and raced into the bathroom. I turned on the shower to a nice warm, strong stream, and began washing my hair. Soon, I had washed my hair three times, cleaned the rest of my body twice, and shaved. I vigorously dried myself, combed and dried my hair, and brushed my teeth...twice. As soon as I opened the door, I was grabbed and faced toward the motel room door. "You barely made it Allan. Don't turn your head. Keep your nose to the door. You are my piece of meat for the rest of the night."

Sasha Grey bondage sex fantasy story

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Journalist Sasha Grey is given a tour of the historic Armory by new owners Kink.com. She confesses to Steven St. Croix that BDSM is not her thing. On the contrary, later that evening she becomes aroused from the topic of the day. In her dreams, she searches for a new sexual identity and discovers her submissive side. The dream sequence is beautifully shot and Sasha looks amazing helplessly bound. She loves getting fucked while restrained and her orgasms are not to be missed. Archive-name: Violent/gift.txt Archive-author: Archive-title: Gift, The The fast busy signal droned at Adrienne almost spitefully. "Damn!" She slammed the receiver back down onto the cradle and stared accusingly at the phone. How could he be talking to someone else just at the moment she needed to talk to him? She half-considered trying again, but then decided against it. No, this time she would just have to deal with her husband's idiocy without the patient ear and compassionate support of her friend. It was just as well, she mused. There wasn't much he could do about it anyway. Turning away from the row of pay phones, Adrienne picked up her purse and started through the hotel lobby toward the elevators. The sights and sounds of life on-going around her did not intrude on her bitter internal thoughts, and few remarked her passage. She was sure of it now - her husband WAS having an affair. The ticket receipts and phone records had more than satisfied her mind on that subject. The fact that she and her husband had not made love in more than six months was now only a secondary matter. Her hate, she thought as she stepped into the empty elevator, would get her through the now inevitable divorce and beyond. She had faith in this. Why, then, was she crying? As the elevator doors opened on the abandoned corridors of her floor, Adrienne tossed her hair back, scowled, and stalked determinedly down the hall toward her room. She was NOT going to let this tear her to pieces. That would be to admit defeat. She keyed her door and reached for the light switch just inside, distractedly contemplating another fun-filled evening of jealousy with the actresses making their starring debuts in whatever adult films the hotel cable station was offering this evening. Business trips could be such a drag at times. The room remained dark. Annoyed, Adrienne flipped the wall switch several times, more as a physical vent of frustration than a means to turn the lights on. Still, the room remained dark. "Goddammed hotel," she muttered, and opened the door fully to let the light from the hall lamps illuminate her way as she crossed her hotel room to switch on the table lamp. This was just turning out to be her day. As she reached the table the door slipped quietly shut behind her. Adrienne momentarily froze, the sudden blanket of complete darkness around her evoking an irrational twinge of panic drawn out of a childhood replete with fears of the dark and solitude. She quickly suppressed these feelings, slightly disappointed in herself for having reacted to something so minor. "Goddammed hotel," she sighed, as she felt across the table for the lamp and then turned the switch. Still, the room remained dark. For a moment Adrienne thought that perhaps a fuse had blown and that she would have to call down to the desk for someone to check it out. However, the apathetic glare of the clock radio on the night stand reassured her that this was not the case. It was more likely a burned-out lightbulb. She leaned over to reach up further into the lamp and remove the damaged bulb, hoping to replace it with one from the bathroom. Her searching fingers found an empty socket just as the cold edge of a serrated blade impressed itself lightly on the flesh of her throat. Adrienne's body went rigid with fear. How could she have been so stupid... she should have suspected something when she opened the door... A hand gently but firmly grasped her shoulder and pulled her to stand up. Adrienne's mind suddenly went blank - she was about to die... here in this hotel room... and no one would know. Or care. The hand lifted the purse from her shoulder, and for a blessed instant Adrienne prayed that this was merely a robbery. The hand, however, returned to her shoulder, and then slowly slid down the length of her arm and then back up, continuing across her shoulder to the nape of her neck and forward to study the curve of her face, then stroking her hair as it fell down her shoulders, onto her back and down the slope of her buttocks... Adrienne gasped sharply as it became painfully obvious that this would not merely be a robbery. Her slight motion resulted in a more insistent pressing of the knife against her throat, and Adrienne fought to repress a rising scream. Deftly, the hand removed her jacket without disturbing the position of the knife and allowed it to slide to the floor. Oh God, how could this be happening... The hand returned, this time alighting just below the knife, and with infinite care, began unbuttoning her blouse. A tear of resignation rolled fitfully down Adrienne's cheek as she silently cursed her husband and locked her gaze on the sterile glow of the clock radio across the room, willing herself a million miles away. Her blouse was pulled out from her skirt and the remaining buttons unclasped. The hand then strayed up the middle of her back and in an instant had unhooked her bra. In a tender, almost tentative motion, the hand slid under her arm and around to trace the curve of her breast. Adrienne trembled slightly and closed her eyes tightly. She tried desperately to think of other times - times in her younger days when such contact would have sent her mind reeling in delightful anticipation of shared pleasure. She remembered her college beau, whose first tender caresses had shattered her inhibitions and awakened her womanhood. She could feel him now, gently cupping her breast, squeezing and stroking in ways he knew would drive her crazy. Relaxing slightly, she savoured the remembrance of moments long lost in the bustle of her present life, and for the first time she noticed a scent - an almost untraceable hint of cologne - that was somehow familiar, somehow reassuring... A slight tugging between her breasts roused her from her reverie as the knife slid easily through the flimsy material of the front of her bra, releasing the opposite sides. The hand then played across her chest, pushing aside the useless garments and exploring her in motions that seemed designed specifically to tantalize. It was strange, she thought - he seemed to know what she liked, seemed to want to please her. It wasn't supposed to be like this... was it? Why wasn't she more afraid? She once again felt the tip of the knife at her throat, this time tracing delicately across and up to a point below her ear, then down the side of her neck and lightly to her now erect nipple. To her surprise, she realized that the ache in the pit of her stomach was due more to excitement than to fear - she was actually enjoying this! After years of perceived stability and mediocrity, she found herself entranced by the sinister attentions of this dark stranger. In this terrifying moment she felt more alive than she had in years... The knife continued its course, highlighting the curve of her breast and then moving down across her stomach to slide delicately under the material of her skirt following the curve of her hip and lower. The presence of the knife so close to her most vital area exhilarated her - the sense of danger heightening her excitement rather than filling her with dread. Slowly the knife was withdrawn, and the hand slid steadily downward across her stomach and skirt, forming the curve of her thigh as the fingers slid between her legs and pushed her back against him briefly. Through their clothing, she could distinguish the shape of his intent - a sensation which intrigued as well as frightened her, as if she were once again a virgin. A moment later she felt the cold flat edge of the blade against the back of her neck, sending exciting chills throughout her frame as it steadily moved slowly down the length of her spine. A moan escaped her, surprising her with its earnest tone of longing. The knife once again disappeared, replaced this time with an empty, stroking hand that pulled her blouse and remnants of her bra over her shoulders and dropped them to the floor. Distractedly she realized that he was no longer holding the knife and that she might now be able to escape if she really wanted to... but she was no longer sure that she really wanted to. Brushing her thick hair aside, the stranger brought his lips to the nape of her neck, teasing the hairs with his tongue and breath as he reached around to push his hands once again across her stomach and between her legs, sliding the material of her skirt sensuously over her skin and forcing her to lean back into him. He shifted his hips deliciously against her as he stroked, and slowly she found herself moving with him. As his hands worked her skirt slid upward, allowing him finally to caress the hot sensitive flesh of her inner thigh. Reaching back with one hand to unbutton the top of her skirt, he then plunged both hands inside her clothing in a motion that drew her skirt and panties partway down her hips. He teasingly explored her, kneading and probing gently in places no one had ever though to before, and then in an unexpected movement slipped a finger into her desperate warmth. In a moment of sheer delight she reached up and caressed his face lovingly, almost in disbelief that such exquisite sensations could be real and have remained hidden from her for so long. Withdrawing his hands once again, he brushed her remaining clothing down over her hips and onto the floor, then stopping briefly to dispense with his own. A moment later he ran his palms down her sides and embraced her as he softly kissed her neck and shoulders. Seeking to reciprocate, Adrienne reached behind her and tentatively caressed her unknown lover. Running her hands slowly down his sides and back, down the curve of his buttocks, she discovered that he was much more muscular than her husband, much more firmly toned... He stepped closer, and to her delight she realized that he was also much larger. As he moved against her, his organ pressed against the soft flesh of her buttocks, sliding deliciously down between her legs. Unconsciously, she parted her legs to him slightly, and he shifted forward, exciting her even more with his nearness. The ache in her stomach intensified almost to the point of being unbearable - she wanted him more than she had ever wanted anyone before. As if sensing this, he leaned forward over her, forcing her to bend under him, and then thrust upward suddenly, catching her unexpectedly and causing her to gasp in surprise. He moved away slightly and then thrust again, his size and strength amazing her with every motion. After a moment he withdrew, peaking her desire by denying her what she so longed for, and then, placing his hands firmly on the back of her neck and stomach, urged her forward onto the bed, his grip preventing her from turning or deviating from his command. At his direction she crawled forward across the mattress and then stopped, waiting. She felt the bed shift under his weight as he knelt on the edge behind her. For a moment she was unsure, having never done this quite this way before, but the touch of his expert hands on her back reassured her. Once again he stroked down the front of her thighs and then back up, massaging all hesitancy out of her muscles. Suddenly he forced her back as he thrust forward, and Adrienne once again found herself on the way to heaven. With every motion, she felt the smooth muscles of his thighs slide against the backs of her own, his hands kneading her back and shoulders and guiding her to accept more and more of him unfailingly. He touched her in ways her husband never could, driving her quickly and inexorably toward the brink of fulfillment. The sound of her blood racing in her ears prevented her from hearing his labored breathing as her lover approached his climax, so his final powerful thrust caught her unaware and sent her mind spiralling uncontrollably into the void of ecstasy. The strength in her arms disappeared and she nearly fell forward obliviously, but he held her up, embracing her tenderly as they rocked together with the last touches of orgasm. As reality inevitably returned to Adrienne's clouded mind, he placed his hands on her hips and moved her forward away from him and then down onto the bed. She felt him leave the mattress, and then a moment later throw the bedcovers over her completely. Through the blanket she heard the muffled sounds of him re-dressing and suddenly realized that he was about to leave - he who had fulfilled a fantasy and re-introduced her to her own passionate side, and she didn't even know who he was. She leaned up, struggling to escape the blankets, and cried, "Wait..." Before she could continue, she felt him sit on the edge of the bed close to her. Through the blanket a gentle hand stroked her face lovingly, speaking more than words could ever relate. Then in a flash the hand was gone and the door clicked shut behind him. The next morning Adrienne packed her things and left her room, bound for home. Her mind remained blank as she rode the elevator down to the lobby and then crossed through the series of shops toward the main desk. One of the shops - a boutique opposite the main entrance, attracted her attention. Like an automaton she turned and walked into it, ignoring the smile of the register attendant as she passed. Moving directly to one aisle, she made her selection and approached the register. As she rung up the bill, the attendant said, "Kouros... a fine choice." Adrienne handed the attendant her credit card and carefully placed the bottle of cologne into her purse. "Yes, I know. I bought it for a dear friend of mine as a Christmas gift last year." --
