From Fantasy to Reality

I stood alone in the tiny, unfamiliar bathroom of the hotel room, breathing deep and working hard to steady my nerves. I ran my fingers through my hair and examined myself in the mirror, fidgeting, my mind spinning at a million miles an hour. It was too late to back out now.

On the other side of the door lay Dragon......and another man waiting to share the king sized with the two of us. It was what I had desired for so long, and Dragon had made it happen, pushing and petting me as needed. And here I was, stalling in the bathroom.

When we had gotten to the room, our new friend had suggested I go freshen up in the bathroom. At the time I thought it was a way to break the tension, but now I was wondering what he meant by "freshen up"? Was I supposed to be getting naked? Should I strip down to just bra and panties? Finally I gave a mental "fuck it" and with a deep breath opened the door, still fully clothed.

When I walked back into the room, I was stunned- both men were laying on opposite sides of the bed under the blankets. Obviously naked. They both gave me sheepish looks and I had to laugh. The tension broken, I stripped down quickly, then climbed over Dragon to fill the empty space in the middle of the bed.

I laid on my stomach, my face on the cool sheets, and felt hands begin to caress my back. Two mouths kissed my naked skin. I shivvered, my nerves on fire, all anxieties forgotten. I moaned softly and moved against the bed.

When I could finally form a thought again, I turned to Dragon and kissed him hungrily. Our new friend's hands worked over my ass and he kissed my shoulders. I turned and found his mouth next, tentatively at first, and then eagerly.

Eventually I was turned on to my back, still covered in hands and mouths. I writhed as every part of me was stroked and kissed. I'd never been so aroused in my entire life, and my pussy had barely been touched.

When Dragon finally put his fingers inside me, he chuckled.

"Honey, you're so wet. Look at the bed, you've made a puddle."

I looked down, and sure enough there was a dark puddle of my fluids beneath me. I could feel my face turn a little red. Before I could dwell on it any further, our third was licking my pussy and driving his fingers inside me. Dragon kissed me and I moaned against his mouth. He moved his mouth over my breasts and sucked on my nipples. The sensation of their mouths combined drove me over the edge and into my first orgasm.

Our third pulled up from my pussy.
"Can I fuck you?" his voice was low and charged "I really want to fuck you." When Dragon remained silent, I gave my consent, aching to have a cock inside me.

Feeling him enter me was electric. I hadn't had any cock inside me except Dragon's for so long, I was stunned at how different it felt. He was thick and incredibly hard, and the total experience of having a strange dick inside me made my pussy throb hard.

As he began to fuck me, I saw Dragon position himself by my head. As he lowered his cock, I took him in my mouth and he began to fuck my face.

After that, we flowed from position to position. I was on top. I was on all fours.I was sideways and upside down. Always there was a cock inside my pussy. Most of the time there was one in my mouth as well.

At one point, while I was riding our third, Dragon entered my ass. A true DP, the height of this whole fantasy. I was full of thick, hard cock, and it was amazing.

Our third came while I was riding him and Dragon came from fucking my mouth. I came so many times it was impossible to count.

When the men were spent, we lay in the bed and talked. I lay against Dragon and both men stroked my body, my skin alive with afterglow. I was drowsy and satisfied and high with the experience.

After a bit, our third's lazy caresses became more demanding. His fingers found my pussy and probed me gently. I grinned and moaned in approval.

"Dragon, I don't think she's done. I think she could go again." He laughed. "What do you say?"

I thought he was joking- but before I knew it both men were hard and working me over once again. I couldn't believe it.

At the end of our second go, I was riding our third when I felt Dragon begin to slap my ass. Hard. I didn't think I could get any more aroused, but as Dragon began to slap my ass harder and harder I felt my brain shift into a whole different gear. I screamed and came. And came again. Soon, our third was slapping my breasts. Also hard. The combination of the slaps and the hard cock inside me shook something loose in my brain.

The orgasm that I had at that moment was like nothing I'd ever experienced before. It robbed me of breath. My body went still and my eyes rolled back, literally, as my pussy spasmed. The spasm took hold of my entire body and I shuddered violently. Both men stopped and let me ride it out in its entirety.

When I finally settled down, I was laid gently on the bed as Dragon examined the blossoming purple canvas that was my ass. He laid a cold cloth gently against my bruised flesh. I'd never felt so satisfied.

When it was over, I was petrified of the fallout. As the endorphins wore off, the guilt sank in. I waited for the resentment to come from Dragon. I waited vain.

Dragon gave me a gift that only he could give. He fulfilled my deepest desire for the pure pleasure of being able to be the one who gave it to me. And like a true gift, it came with no strings attached. I don't know many other men who could do that. This is how know he loves me unconditionally.

With all of our day-to-day issues and life stress, he never makes me ashamed of my needs and desires in the bedroom. Even if that means sharing.

Not Dead- I Promise

So, it's been a bit since my last post, and I'm feeling badly about it. I know my millions of fans miss me and my escapades dearly (thats totally sarcasm, just so you know)

For those of you do actually follow, there's been so much going on it's just been hard to sort out all of these pieces and decide what/how to share. But I promise many delicious things are just lined up waiting for me to capture them in words. It won't be long now, promise......

Fire and Ice

He moved next to me in the bathroom and placed gentle fingers under my chin, tilting my head up to him.

"I want you naked and blindfolded on the bed when I come back upstairs". His voice was low and serious and made me tingle. I nodded in agreement.

Since I didn't know how much time I had before he came back upstairs, I charged into the bedroom and stripped off my clothes, then opened the toy drawer and fished around for the blindfold. I climbed on the bed, laid flat on my stomach, put the blindfold in place, and waited.

As I continued to wait, the tension grew. I knew Dragon had been sharing ideas on Twitter with @hotelbentmoore, one of our especially devious and creative Twitter pals. I wondered what was taking him so long. I tried not to fidget.

Finally I heard him enter the room. I didn't say a word - at this point I had downshifted into a hazy state of compliance.

"Good girl" he said approvingly, and he stroked my back with warm, firm hands. I smiled and sighed contentedly.

Removing his hands from my back, I heard rustling as he handled items on the bedside table. I felt my muscles tense up remembering his earlier mention of using a hairbrush on me. I prepared myself for a blow, and I felt my muscles tense and twitch in anticipation.

Dragon placed something gently in the middle of my back and an intense heat blossomed there. I gasped in surprise and he removed it after a minute. I took a deep breath, and before I could collect myself the heat was blooming against my lower back. I squirmed a bit.

Suddenly, the heat was replaced by cold. Ice burned against my skin and I squealed in surprise. The ice traced it's way down my back and I shivered. And then the heat. And then the ice. The sensations were alternated until my brain was a total mess.

Dragon moved the play to focus on my pussy. Ice was run up and down my pussy and ass. Heat was pressed against my pussy. I moaned and squirmed. And then ice was pressed hard against my asshole. And it didn't move.

The ice began to burn against the delicate skin of my asshole. I flailed. I screamed into the mattress. He continued to press the ice against me and I prayed for it to melt quickly.

Eventually the ice was taken away and I shuddered in relief. I panted and struggled to collect myself. As I was pulling myself together, I felt the ice against my ass again. This time, he pressed is hard, inserting it halfway inside me.

I screamed to the point of sobs and flailed uncontrollably. "Yellow", our safe word for back off, hung in my mind, but I rode it out. My mind bent and twisted as the burning consumed everything.

When he finally removed it this time I collapsed against the bed, just breathing, the world still dark behind the blindfold.

"You know what that did to me?" his voice asked, hovering above me. My hands were guided to his rock hard cock, and I began to stroke him. "I love to watch you squirm" he said caressing my check

When he finally brought his mouth to mine, I felt an ice cube pressed through my lips by his tongue. Pulling away, he pushed my head down to his cock. I took him in my mouth, and worked the ice cube along his dick. He groaned loudly in pleasure, and I swirled the ice cube over the head of his cock. I continued to move my mouth and the ice cube along his cock until it melted away.

Pulling me up gently by the hair, he pressed his lips to my ear "I want to fill your pussy with ice and fuck you." I whimpered, my ass still burning from the ice.

He laid me back down, and my back was covered in alternating dripping ice and now, hot wax. The changes came so quickly now it was hard to determine hot and cold. It culminated in a deluge of wax poured onto the small of my back.

Dragon's hands moved over my back, wiping away water and wax, massaging my shoulders, caressing the now hyper-sensitive skin. I reveled in his caresses, nearly purring in pleasure. It all ended suddenly when I felt the ice pressed against my pussy.

Before I had time to register the cold burning sensation, the ice was pushed inside me. I squirmed in protest, and Dragon's hands help me to bed while his cock slid inside me.

I was overwhelmed by emotion. Relief that it was only one ice cube. Acceptance of the icy pain deep in my pussy. Pleasure at feeling Dragon's cock move inside me.Soon the pleasure took over as Dragon pounded me with his cock

"God, it's so tight!" I heard him cry out. I realized the ice must have contacted the muscles inside of my pussy, and Dragon's moans were soon drowning out my own.

When Dragon came, he pulled out of me and covered my lower back in his cum. This was a pleasant and familiar warmth and I welcomed it.

Laying on the bed, my mind continued to be hazy, and I felt myself drifting off. Dragon covered my naked body with a blanket and slid in next to me. And the rest was sweet oblivion....

A New Story

Since I've been having difficulty gathering my thoughts into a decent post, I will share my most recent erotic story. Please enjoy!


Strangers

When he stripped off my panties, I suppressed a shiver. I had never felt so naked before in my life. As his hands began to gently caress my breasts, I stood still, resisting the urge to cover myself the best I could with my hands. Even from behind my closed lids, I could feel all the eyes heavy on my body, judging, weighing.
When he took my nipple in his mouth and it grazed it with his teeth I gasped in surprise, my pussy throbbing, the eyes forgotten. Taking advantage of the moment, his hands pressed me down until my back was against the mattress. I opened my eyes and found his, dark, warm and reassuring. His mouth came down on mine urgently, and as he leaned into me from between my legs, I could feel how excited he was. As his tongue worked over mine, his hand caressed my smooth, freshly shaved pussy. His fingers parted my pussy lips and my hips rose to meet him. I groaned against his mouth as his fingers entered me.
My body relaxed and receptive, I opened my eyes and tipped my head back. A heavyset bearded man looked down on me, and was touching himself lightly. I felt myself grow wetter against my husband’s fingers as they glided in and out of me. My hands stoked his back and I writhed against him hungrily. His free hand gently slapped my breast and then pinched my nipple, and I cried out against his mouth.
Abruptly he pulled away and moved his body up towards my head. Gently he coaxed me my knees and sunk his hands into my hair, pulling my mouth on to his cock. I took him into my throat, all the way down, and felt his body twinge in pleasure. Slowly I drew my lips back off his shaft, my tongue trailing along the way. I flicked my tongue over the head of his cock, delighting in his sigh of ecstasy.
As I worked his cock with my mouth, I felt a gentle hand slide against my pussy. It was soft, and I felt fingernails play gently against my skin. Gentle lips kissed my ass. I groaned against my husband’s cock as I felt the carefully manicured fingers enter my pussy. The smooth warm lips continued to move over my ass, and I was nearly overwhelmed by all of the intense sensations.
My mouth was pulled from my husband’s dick, and he drew me up so I was kneeling with him on the mattress. I felt my mystery lover pull back as he wrapped his arms around me and crushed me to his chest. He kissed me deeply and I felt his cock slide between legs, probing the entrance of my pussy with the head of his cock.
Another set of arms slid around me from behind, strong and thick, and I felt a beard tickle against my skin as a mouth kissed the back of my neck. I panted eagerly as I felt a thick cock press in between my ass cheeks. I continued to kiss my husband, as big warm hands groped my breasts and played with my nipples. The strange cock moved in between my ass cheeks, probing gently against my asshole. I knew I must be dripping wet against the head of my husband’s cock.
I felt the head of his cock pulled gently from my pussy and I whimpered disappointment. Looking down between us, I saw a small manicured hand wrapped around my husband’s dick. Looking up, I took in the voluptuous blonde behind him working his cock and knew those hands had been the ones stroking my pussy only moments before. Such talented hands.
My husband’s arms eased up as I felt myself pulled backwards until I was positioned on all fours. Without warning, the thick cock that had been working over my ass entered my dripping pussy, hard and fast. I screamed loudly in pleasure and looked to my husband. His lids were half closed in pleasure, but I could see he was watching me and enjoying what he saw.
I leaned forward and stretched myself until I could take the head of my husband’s cock into my mouth. As the bearded man pounded my pussy from behind, I squeeled in pleasure around my husband’s cock. I felt the other woman cease stroking, and shift on the mattress. After a moment, her head was beneath mine, and I soon realized she was working his balls and ass, back and forth, with her tongue and her lips. Crazy with his arousal, my husband fucked my face with abandon.
After a few minutes, I felt my husband pull out of my mouth with a growl. Pulling away from the blonde as well, he moved behind me, and I felt the bearded man pull out of my pussy. I watched as the bearded man moved to claim the sprawled out blonde in front of me. As he entered her pussy and placed her feet on his shoulders, I felt my husband spread the dripping juices from my pussy all over my ass. I knew he must be using them on his cock as well.
Parting my ass checks, I felt my husband’s cock press against my asshole. Usually he entered me anally slow and with tenderness, but he was on fire. Before I knew it, his entire cock was inside my ass. Thrusting hard, he drove a scream from me against the familiar mingling of pleasure and pain. His hand reached around and played with my clit, and before I knew it, I was overcome by the most powerful orgasm of my life. The blonde cried out as well, and our ecstatic noises filled the room and the ears of the other onlookers surrounding the bed. There was quite a crowd now, and their obvious arousal while watching us pushed me over the edge into another orgasm.
Even though he held out as long as he could, I knew my husband couldn’t last long when he was deep inside my tight ass. He was thrusting inside my ass harder than he ever had, and my throat was getting raw from screaming. Finally, I felt his muscles tense, and then his cock spasmed inside me, filling my ass with loads of hot cum.
When he finished, he stayed inside me, kissing my back as we watched the blonde and the bearded man continue to fuck beside us. When my husband finally pulled out, I felt his cum leaking out of my ass and on to the unfamiliar mattress and I grinned. He pulled me to him, kissing my shoulders and neck as we watched the other couple finish up, the bearded man pulling out to spew thick streams of cum all over the blonde’s tits. My husband and I grinned and wriggled appreciatively on the bed.
The people surrounding the bed made flattering comments and some wandered off, and others looked eager to climb on the mattress. I turned to my husband and kissed him sweetly. I was eager to see what the rest of the night held in store…..

Brat

Years of serving as a well behaved submissive make it hard for me to act out in the bedroom, even though Dragon has expressed that he'd enjoy it a bit. That's why it was totally out of character that while giving him a naked back rub, I couldn't resist biting his perfect ass.

He yelped and told me to cut the shit. I continued rubbing.....and then bit it again. He gave me a dirty look and a stern warning. I giggled. I don't know what had come over me.

As I went back to rubbing and caressing his back, I cooed at him, calling him by a by an endearment he hates (if I share he may actually murder me). I continued to do it, laughing and purring softly. He was not amused and warned me not to continue. So I did. And then bit his ass again. Yup, I sure did.

I stopped rubbing his back and laid on the bed with a self-satisfied smirk. Before I knew it he was on me with his hands on my throat. I whimpered the best I could, and then he was pulling at me to turn on my stomach.

And then I really did it- I fought back. I kicked my legs and trashed against the hands working so hard to pull me over. I giggled in delight as I kicked. I was totally overcome.

Finally I was on my stomach, and Dragon was slapping my ass through my pajama pants. Hard. Quickly my pants were yanked off, and while one
arm pinned me in place, Dragon's free hand went to work on my ass. He was relentless. Soon my ass was on fire and my giggles had ceased. When he felt I had gotten the message, he stopped.

"I'm going to get a drink. When I come back I hope to find that your attitude had changed". He left the room. I shivered.

When he came back he grabbed me by the hair and jerked my head around painfully to test my compliance. I simply moaned, eyes closed, happily compliant. He brought my face to his cock and face fucked me forcefully, shoving himself down my throat. He pulled out of my mouth and slapped my face with his cock before plunging it back into my mouth.

Growling, he put me flat on my stomach and entered me. I came almost immediately, my inner submissive slut completely aroused and ravenous.

"Up" Dragon commanded with a light tap. I immediately moved to all fours. "My favorite" he said with a chuckle, slamming inside me. He alternated between long playful strokes, and ramming my pussy hard and deep. I lost count of how many times I came.

Finally he pulled put of me and came on my ass. We collapsed on the bed, and I caressed my still stinging ass.

"You're so mean" I teased

"And you love it" he responded. I just smiled.

Footjob

I don't have a lot of experience indulging a foot fetishist, so I've been trying hard to find creative ways to please Dragon with my feet ever since he "came out". I keep my toes polished, my feet well cared for, and I'm always on the lookout for revealing shoes. I revel in total gratification whenever he sucks on my toes or bites the arch of my foot.

Recently a couple I follow on Twitter realized a video of the wife giving her husband a footjob to orgasm. Dragon pointed it out, and I asked him if he'd like it if I tried that on him. After some serious prodding, he admitted he'd be interested in having me try it.

I had never given a footjob before, so I was seriously nervous. Luckily, I'm pretty good at winging it.

Once we began fooling around, I laid my naked Dragon down on his back and applied a generous amount of lube to his cock. I stroked his cock with my hands to begin with, making sure he was incredibly aroused and rock hard.

I leaned back on the bed between Dragon's legs, placing my weight back on my arms. Tentative I reached out with my feet and took his excited dick between them.

At first my balance was awkward and I had to try a few different methods to get a good even and solid pressure on his cock. I went back and forth between feet a bit, using my long toes to help manipulate a long hard caress against his long hard erection.

Finally, I took his cock between the soles of my feet, gripping it hard, the lube facilitating their movement up and down his shaft.

He let out little groans, sighs and hisses. His body was rigid with pleasure. I didn't have to ask if he was enjoying my efforts.

When he finally came, I think I might have gotten off on it harder than him. To accomplish something new is always a fantastic accomplishment. I know Dragon thought so too.

Happy Anniversary

Today is our anniversary. Dragon will be spending it at home alone and then at work. I will be spending it at work and then at home handling family responsibilities and then going to bed alone. However, I know for sure he'll be waking me up to fuck me like crazy when he gets home.

The fact that I know I can expect amazing sex nearly every night is an amazing space to be in.

The last few years have been rough. It's not sexy to talk about, but it's reality. For a long time we were both in places where it was easier to wall each other off. Sex was a chore, accomplished once a month if lucky. Kink, spice, desire were all miles away.

Through various life upheavals, we've broken down walls and rediscovered each other. We can't keep our hands off each other and it's amazing.

Reconnecting sexually doesn't just fix life in the bedroom. With Dragon exploring His new Dom role in the bedroom, he projects a new confidence. Sometimes the aggression and newly surging testosterone makes him more quick to anger. But it's a fantastic trade off.

Being able to let go and reclaim the joy of total sexual submission has given me the ability to let go of a lot of stress in my life. The millions of mind numbing orgasms help with that too.

Feeling Dragon's desire gives me the confidence to feel sexy again -thrilling in the feeling of his hands on my body, knowing I can bring him extreme pleasure with every flick of my tongue on his cock, is like a drug. The high of him fucking me, of him wanting me, is like nothing else.

And so, Happy Anniversary darling Dragon. I can't wait for all of the pleasure filled years ahead of us.....

A Tall Tale.......

Because I have my hands full (and bound most of the time) with Dragon right now, here is my first attempt at an erotic story I wrote last night, based on one of my fantasies....

                                                      
                                                                The Gift

It was our fifth anniversary, and my husband had told me to hurry home from work – he said he had a special evening planned. I was incredibly excited. After a big rough patch, Dave and I were finally really happy in our marriage once again- and having some of the best sex we’d ever had. I was hoping maybe he had decided to buy a special new sex toy to spice up our evening. It was torture counting down the minutes until I could leave work. 
 On my way home I grinned while thinking about the night ahead. Recently we had begun exploring some real kink together, and I was hoping for maybe a little bondage, a sensual paddling, something truly “special”. Dave had a very creative mind, and I knew he would make it an evening worth remembering.
When I got home, I noticed a strange car in the driveway and frowned. Company? What lousy timing. Practically pouting, I made my way into the house. When I entered the kitchen I heard two male voices coming from the living room- one was Dave’s, the other I didn’t recognize.
“Honey?”  I heard Dave call
“Yeah, it’s me.” I called back, removing my shoes
“Come in here. I have someone I want you to meet.” Sighing, I made my way into the living room. So much for kicking off our special evening. When I entered the living room, I saw Dave was seated on the couch, and a strange man was sitting on the loveseat near him.
“Honey, this is Paul.” He nodded at the man on the love seat.
“Hey.” Said Paul, extending his hand. I took his hand briefly, noting how big they were, enveloping my own small hand easily. I took that opportunity to look him over a little more closely. His eyes were dark blue, set nicely in a strong face. He smirked a little, a few strands of sandy blonde hair falling into his face. His shoulders were broad, but it was hard to judge his size while he was sitting.
“Nice to meet you Paul.” I said pulling my hand back. Dave gestured for me to go to him and I did. He pulled me abruptly into his lap, and I couldn’t keep the shock off my face. He wasn’t really into displays of affection this drastic, especially in front of people I didn’t even know.  As he pulled me back further into his lap, I felt his rock hard erection against the back of my skirt. I tried not to grin.
“Cat, I invited Paul here to help enjoy our special evening.” I looked back at Dave confused, and then to Paul who was still wearing a casual smirk.
“Um, what is it he does exactly? Tricks?” I laughed nervously, but neither of the men laughed with me.  I shifted uncomfortable on Dave’s lap. “Seriously, what does he have to do with our anniversary?”
“Why Cat, he’s your present.” At this both of the men finally laughed. Before I could ask another question Dave buried his fingers in my hair and pulled my mouth to his, kissing me deeply, his tongue aggressively caressing the inside of my mouth.  As he kissed me, I felt his other hand quickly unbuttoning the front of my blouse. I pulled back from his mouth, ignoring the sudden painful jerk again my hair.
“Dave, what the hell are you doing?” Dave just grinned, tightening his grip on my hair as he continued to work my buttons with his other hand. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Paul stand and move towards my back. Before I knew what was happening, Paul’s large hands were sliding down the front of me moving inside my bra to cup my breasts. I froze in shock as he fingers found my nipples, pinching them gently.
“What the fuck are you doing?” I raised my hands to push Paul away, but Dave grabbed my wrists in his free hand, the other hand jerking my head back painfully.
“He’s giving you what you want honey. Just relax and enjoy it.” He pulled my face to his once again and began to kiss me while my mind reeled. Paul’s fingers continued to work my nipples, tweeking them a bit harder, and I fought the urge to moan again Dave’s mouth. 
 It was then that I remembered that when Dave and I had been fixing our marriage, we had opened up about our deepest, darkest fantasies. After a lot of prodding, I had revealed that I had always wanted to be with two men at a time. When Dave said he might be willing to try that with me, I had shut down the idea quickly. I had protested that it was just a fantasy, that it would cause to many hurt feelings and lingering issues. I was happy to leave it a fantasy. Apparently Dave hadn’t believed me.
I felt Dave grind his hard cock against my ass while he kissed me, and one of Paul’s hands came away from my nipples to work the clasp on my bra, freeing my breasts completely. He tugged off my open blouse and the bra, and then went back to playing with my breasts. I felt myself grow wet, on the verge of whimpering in total pleasure, and fought to hold myself together, pulling away from Dave’s mouth again.
“Please Dave, Paul, stop this. I didn’t mean it. It was just a fantasy. We can’t do this.” I struggled against his and he gripped my wrists tighter.
“I know you want this baby. Paul is here to help. Just be quiet and enjoy it.” I didn’t know what to say.  I felt Paul remove his hands from my tits and then heard the telltale signs of him removing his clothes. Unzipping his pants. I trembled a little against Dave and he grinned, his warm brown eyes full of wickedness. He placed both hands on my arms and turned me on his lap to face outward again.
I was met with the sight of Paul’s bared cock, large and erect. Seeing him standing, he was quite imposing, his deep blue eyes staring at me intently. I felt Dave’s hand at the back of my head, pushing me forward towards Paul’s cock. Dave’s mouth was at my ear, his breath hot and heavy
“Suck his cock baby.” I pushed back against his hand in protest, but he pushed me forward firmly and Paul stepped forward, the head of his cock pushing up against my closed lips. “Do it Cat,” Dave purred against my ear “Just do it, I did this all for you. Please just appreciate it. “With that, I felt my lips open, taking the head of Pauls’ cock into my mouth. He pushed his hips forward abruptly, and I felt his cock fill my throat, nearly choking me.
“Good girl.” Dave breather in spproval. Despite myself, I basked in his approval, sucking on Paul’s cock now with true enthusiasm. As I did that, I felt Dave raise my ass up slightly, working the zipper on my skirt and putting my feet on the floor. Making sure I remained bent over Pauls’ cock, Dave moved to stand behind me, pulling down my skirt and panties, leaving me in just my black thigh highs as I sucked Paul’s cock. Paul gripped my face and began to fuck my face in earnest, making me grasp and struggle a bit. Dave pulled my hips back gently to sit on his lap once again, only this time, I felt his skin against mine as he settled me into his naked lap.
I groaned against Paul’s cock as I felt Dave’s fingers slip inside my incredibly wet pussy. After working me with his fingers for a few minutes, Dave moved my hips back and slid his big thick cock inside me. I pulled my mouth of Paul’s dick, gasping and groaning loudly at the feel of Dave’s cock inside me. He fit me so perfectly he almost always brought me to orgasm within minutes of being inside me. I watched through half closed lids as Paul stroked his cock, lubricated in my saliva, as I moved eagerly on Dave’s cock.
Paul knelt in front of me, taking one of my nipples in his mouth, sucking it hard, and flicking it with his tongue. His hand, played with my other nipple, and seconds later, I was cumming hard on Dave’s cock. I shuddered and whimpered, my body shaking with the intensity of my orgasm. Dave patted my ass in approval.
“Get on your knees” Dave said, lifting me off his cock. I obeyed, done with fighting. I got down on the floor on all fours, and felt Dave move behind me. Paul slid himself beneath me, and his mouth found my pussy, his tongue moving over my clit. Dave moved his fingers against my ass, and I felt the familiar slickness of lube against my ass. Gently, Dave inserted his finger in my ass, working it gently. I had only recently come to enjoy ass play, but I pushed against his finger eagerly, Paul’s skillful tongue driving my excitement. After a minute, Dave inserted another finger and I moaned loudly, feeling another orgasm build.
Once he felt he had me properly warmed up, I felt the head of Dave’s cock against my ass, and I tensed slightly. We had only had anal sex a few times, and I knew how much Dave loved it. As Paul worked my pussy with his mouth, I relaxed against Dave’s cock as he pushed it gently in my ass. Before I knew it, his entire cock was inside my ass,  then moving slowly.
“Oh yes!” I cried, and before I knew it, my body was in the grip of another powerful orgasm. Paul’s mouth worked against me hard, licking up my juices as Dave fucked my ass a little harder. “Oh yes, fuck me.” I moaned. I watched as Paul slid out from under me, turning and sliding back beneath me. He raised his hips and his cock was in my pussy, both men now fucking me hard.
I had never been doubly penetrated before, and it threatened to completely overwhelm me. I steadied myself with my hands, feeling like the men would split me in half any moment.  I felt Dave tense and knew he was close to cumming- he never lasted long when he was inside my tight ass. Paul grunted beneath me as well, fighting against his own orgasm.
It was Paul who gave out first. I felt him pull out of me abruptly, and then his hot cum was hitting my breasts from below. The sensation pushed me over the edge and I came again as Dave continued to fuck my ass. Soon, he couldn’t handle it any longer, and I felt his cock spasm inside me, filling my ass with his cum.  When he was finished he pulled out, drawing me down to the floor, to lay my head against his chest. Paul’s strong, warm legs pushed against my back, his cum still hot and sticky against my tits. I sighed contentedly against Dave’s chest.
“Happy Anniversary Honey. Hope you liked your gift.”

Playing Hooky

Yesterday was just one of those days at the office. Tired and bored, all I wanted to do was to go home, play with Dragon, and maybe try to sneak in a nap. I expressed this to him in a text......and Dragon told me I should come home.I never skip out on work, so this thought was a little scary and very exciting. After a few more texts, I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. Making up an excuse, I left work 2 hours early and hurried home.

On the drive home, Dragon texted me two delicious photos of his erect cock, waiting for me in bed. I cursed traffic, excited and incredibly needy. The photos had made me wet beyond belief, and I wriggled in my seat. Damn.

When I finally got home, I raced up the stairs and threw open the bedroom door to find Dragon lounging naked on the bed, his cock hard and ready for me. Eagerly I shed my clothes, and joined him naked on the bed, slithering down to take his phenomenal cock in my mouth. I sucked on him greedily for a few moments before I couldn't take it any more.

Without a word, I straddled him, sliding his cock inside me, and began to ride him aggressively. This is rare for me, as I'm a true submissive by nature, but I couldn't stand another minute without him inside me. I continued to ride him, grinding my hips hard until I came, leaning against his chest and panting hard. He reached up and grabbed my breasts, causing me to began gyrating on his cock once again.

Once again I took charge, turning around and repositioning myself on his cock into a reverse cowgirl. I know this position drives Dragon crazy- he loves to watch his cock move into me, and he especially loves being able to play with my ass. His fingers played against my ass as I bent forward and gripped his ankles, fucking him hard. Within minutes he began hissing that he was about to cum, driving me to fuck him harder until I felt him cum inside me. Satisfied, I climbed off him and curled again his spent body, enjoying a few moments of our stolen time, before letting reality interfere.

Weekend Recap

I apologize for the absence, but the weekend was beyond busy. Of course, amidst all the craziness, there was plenty of really hot sex. So much in fact, it looks like I'll just have to hit the highlight reel or I'll be writing all day :)

Saturday:
Unfortunately, Saturday is a work day for Dragon and he doesn't get home until late. I spent the day just waiting for him to come home so I could get him naked.

When the anticipation is an all day event for me, I try to make sure it's his problem too. A good way to do this is to send some yummy photos of what he'll be coming home to. Like me in a new piece of lingerie.





































Letting Dragon know there's a little something special waiting helps keep the frustration enjoyable. It makes me feel sexy to take special prep time- lotion, shaving, scrubbing, perfuming, painting toes, putting on thigh highs- the whole 9.

Black thigh highs really drive Dragon over the edge, so I made sure I was wearing them when he came home. Also, at the last minute I was invited to watch @functioncurve have some really hot sex via Yahoo messenger, so Dragon got to walk into me playing with myself, thigh high clad legs parted to view my fingers in my wet pussy. He finished watching to web cast with me and took over working my pussy while I stroked and sucked him in turn.

Once @functioncurve finished, we went at it, hard. Dragon finished up fucking me from behind, and then cumming hard on my stocking clad feet (yes, the stockings always get left on).

Sunday:
We ended up with a nice free afternoon on Sunday and took full advantage of it. There's nothing better than being well rested and having the time to really get each other properly worked up.

As a result of an amazing warm up from Dragon's generous and talented mouth, I was feeling pretty wild, just aching for him to fill me. And so I asked him, begged him to fuck me in the ass.

Dragon was surprised to say the least. We've only worked way up to anal a few times recently, and I know he loves it, but worries that it hurts me. I, on the other hand, am learning to let go and enjoy it. It's a real submission and gets me off knowing that I can give him something he loves so much.

After some tentative probing, he entered my ass fully and I could hear him sighing and groaning in pleasure as he reveled in the feel of his cock in my tight ass. He began to move inside me gently, and told me to play with my pussy to heighten my pleasure. While I played with myself I began to get more excited, finally begging him to fuck me harder.





































Dragon obliged, fucking my ass harder. I could feel him holding back and to continued to beg, telling him I wanted to feel him cum in my ass. Not long after, I felt him cum in my ass. Hard. He left me dripping and positively giddy.

An hour or two later after a quick shower, Dragon bent me over the bed, taking my hard and fast. I just love it when he takes me like this, no foreplay, just crazy sex. I came several times before I felt him cum in my pussy. Heaven.

That night we spent petting and stroking, enjoying each other's bodies and playing around, kissing, touching and cuddling. Great way to finish a sex filled day.

Monday:
This day we had our hands full with more than each other. I spent the day dropping hints that I was up for a bit of rough play. I prayed that Dragon knew I wasn't joking.

He knew. I was laying in bed when he came in from his shower. Without a word he took my phone out of my hands, pushed me face down on the bed and stripped me bare. Once I was naked he took me by the hair and shoved my mouth down on his cock. He fucked my face and I moaned around his cock, getting wetter by the second.

He removed his cock from my mouth and moved behind me, fucking me from behind until I came. Once I orgasmed he pulled out of me and made me clean my fluids off his cock with my mouth, and then raising himself so I could tongue his ass. He hissed dirty words at me, and I whimpered against him.

Moving behind me again, he began to spank my ass, working it over hard with his hands. I squealed and writhed against the bed, feeling the heat from my ass as he kissed it gently in between rounds of slaps.

Finally he began to fuck me from behind once again, and I egged him to continue spanking me. He obliged, spanking me hard as he fucked me. I came so many times I thought I was going to pass out. He finished by cumming all over my ass.

After a bit of clean up we collapsed in our customary after glow heatp I basked in the sting that still remained on my ass, and I couldn't help but thank him for scaring that particular itch.

Hope everyone else's weekend was filled will lots of orgasmic fun.

Kisses!

Late Night Romp

Last night was another of Dragon's late nights at work. I just hate laying alone in bed, especially when I'm horny, so I decided to surf around for some good porn.

After watching the crappy porn ordered on satellite (see previous post "Porn") Dragon got us an account with Burning Angel so we could explore some better porn we might both enjoy. Good move. Throughout the day Dragon sent me links to videos he thought I'd enjoy, and I was itching to get home and masturbate.

When I was finally able to get home and be alone, I settled in to watch a few promising selections. Hot. Within minutes I was in a masturbating frenzy, writhing and touching and cumming. It made me desperate for Dragon's cock. It didn't help that he was sexting me the whole time. I promised him a glorious blow job when he finally got home. I just needed to feel him.

About an hour before he was due home I dozed in a wet and needy sleep. Before I knew it Dragon was home and working on me with his eager hands. Unlike most nights, I came awake more quickly, just aching so bad that when his mouth found my pussy I nearly came instantly. When he paused briefly I moved myself to him, hungrily taking Dragon's cock, surprising him a bit.

He was so hard that it just made me that much more desperate for him. As I worked his cock with my mouth, my tongue, my hands, I grew hotter with every one of his moans and hisses. I could feel his body tensing, his cock still so hard it was nearly choking me. After a few minutes he warned me to slow down, afraid he would cum before he got a chance to fuck me. I reveled in knowing I was making him so excited. I licked the length of his shaft slowly and lazily sucked on the head of his cock.

Finally he pushed me down and moved between my legs. He moved inside me, and within seconds I was orgasming hard. He was just so rigid, just so thick, and he growled a stream of dirty words that just made me throb. Taking it slow, he drove me deep and told me to warn him when I was about to to cum. On the rise of my next orgasm I warned him I was about to cum and he slid a finger in my ass. I came hard. As my orgasm subsided he removed his finger. On the next orgasm he repeated this and asked me if I liked it. I whimpered out that I loved it.

Dragon moved my legs together and to his shoulder and worked me over hard. I could feel every rock hard inch of him drive through me and I screamed out how much I loved his amazing cock. After working my pussy hard for a few more moments he pulled out, and gave me taps that indicated he wanted me on all fours, ready to receive him from behind.

Once I was on all fours, Dragon surprised me my fucking my ass with his tongue. It's always hard not to collapse in a orgasmic puddle when he does this. His tongue is amazing. Once I was dripping wet, I felt his cock move into my pussy and his fingers replace his tongue, playing with my ass. I could sense Dragon's tension as he moved inside me a bit more carefully than usual.

"Are you ready to cum?" I asked in surprise. Usually he liked to fuck me this way for a while before he let himself cum.

"Yes" he snarled "I cant help it." I shifted in glee at the desperation in his tone, moving back against him eagerly.

"I want to feel you cum" I said, knowingly pushing him over the brink "Please cum on me". Within seconds he was pulling out of me and spraying my ass and back in a shocking amount of hot cum.

After Dragon had given me a hasty wipe down and collapsed on the bed next to me, I told him how much I enjoyed how hard he had been, how hard he had cum. Too hot. He said he gotten all worked up knowing I was home watching porn and masturbating.

Thank you Burning Angel, for the fantastic porn that made this moment possible.

Kinda I Want To....

Yesterday was one of those days. All day at work (which makes me cranky anyways) Dragon and I were having an uncomfortable and irritating text message exchange. It was the kind of day that makes you grind your teeth, want to hit someone and fight tears at various moments.

All couples fight, that's just a given. Even when things are going orgasmically, sometimes issues raise their ugly heads, and the more back and forth involved, the more potential there is for hurt feelings and angry resentment. When it involves two people as stubborn as Dragon and I sometimes it gets even worse.

As our terse exchanges continued into the evening, I was at the end of my rope. This being one of the nights Dragon worked till midnight, I was convinced this wasn't getting resolved before I had to hit the hay.

Before I went to bed I spewed out a pissy Tweet (@HousewifeRaven) to the effect that I was going to bed alone with no sex tonight. Of course Dragon saw this and tweeted back that he would wake me up with his cock when he got home. This, of course, led to another angry exchange, with me telling him I was too irritated to have sex with him, and him saying I shouldn't complain about not getting laid. All kinds of ridiculousness ensued.

In the end, he told me he wasn't going to let me push him away, and then gave up after a barrage of my bitchiness. Even though I had "won" I was secretly disappointed that he had given up so quickly. The last text he sent me along the lines of, I may wake you up, I may not- I just don't know. I went to bed extremely cranky, pouty and generally feeling sorry for myself.

Hours later, wrapped in a haze of sleep,I stirred to the feel of hands caressing me gently. Lips pressed against mine, hungry tongue entering my mouth. I responded sluggishly, still not entirely aware, sighing softly as hands continued to explore my body with more persistence.

Soon, I felt my pajama pants being worked off. Without thinking, my hips raised to help them along. Bared to the waist, Dragon began to lick my clit gently, finally pulling me fully out of my sleep stupor. As he continued to work my pussy with his mouth and his fingers my whole body woke up, stirring happily in pure bliss. Not once did it cross my mind that I was supposed to be angry with this amazing, orgasm inspiring man.

After I had came at least once, he withdrew and I felt his hands pushing me onto my side. I complied, still a bit groggy, and once on my side, I felt him lay his body down behind mine. He had done such an amazing job getting me good and wet that he slid into my pussy easily.

While he fucked me steadily from behind, my still foggy brain had trouble forming words, so I moaned and squealed in pleasure. When he started to move into me especially hard I felt myself cum, accompanied by wordless, ecstatic shouts. Driven on by the noises of my extreme pleasure, the throbbing of my orgasming pussy, and his steady pace, I felt Dragon's cock spasm inside of me, unleashing a huge load of cum inside me. It had been a long time since I felt him cum inside my pussy and I reveled in it.

After handing me a towel and laying back down, I moved close to curl up on Dragon's chest. It was only then that I realized I was still supposed to be mad and had told him I didn't want sex. When I said this out loud he laughed and asked if I was complaining. Sulkily I had to agree that it was fantastic and I wasn't complaining. Trying to insist I was still mad, I slipped back into sleep.

When I woke up this morning, I just couldn't find the anger, or even the irritation, especially while cleaning up a bit of Dragon's cum that had leaked out of me during the night. As I checked my Twitter feed And saw a last tweet I had missed from Dragon before he got home and after I had already gone to bed "No does not mean no. Red (*our safe word) means no. You didn't say red". I had to smile. Thank you darling for reminding me why I trust you to be in charge.....

Foot Fetish

While delving into our deepest, darkest sexual desires, Dragon reluctantly, painfully revealed that he's always had a secret foot fetish. I was totally stunned. Never, in all the years we had been together, had he ever hinted that feet turned him on. I had no idea. When I received a pedicure for my birthday this year from a friend, he seemed totally bored by it, though he later admitted it had really excited him.

It still seems odd that Dragon could could hide such an incredible desire/turn-on from me for so long. He said that in the past when ever he had even hinted at it with another woman that he had been met with disgust and rejection, causing him to bury this fetish deep. I was little hurt that he had never trusted me enough to reveal this until recently, but I understood. No one likes rejection, and to be treated with scorn and disgust from someone is love is painful to say the least.

Now that the cat is finally out of the bag, it's added a whole new element to our sex lives. I've never been with a foot fetishist before, so I'm trying to learn what I can about using my feet as a sex object. After some initial remaining embarrassment, Dragon has started to really embrace this part of his nature more openly and that makes me really happy. Having to hide something that brings you pleasure is such a misery.

An unexpected side effect of this new indulgence is that I've really come to view my own feet in a whole new light. It's really empowering to learn that another body part can hold such sex appeal. I've never been into painting my toes, but now I'm sure to always have perfect polish. I'm more aware when I wear open toed shoes and flip flops that Dragon is paying careful attention. My feet have now been photographed and declared lovely by other foot enthusiasts. Delightful!

Now, when Dragon lovingly licks the arch of my foot or eagerly sucks on my toes during sex I know just how much it's arousing him. The fact that he's only been able to indulge this with me feels special and a bit taboo. Knowing that he lusts over my feet just makes me me feel even more beautiful, more desired.

Porn

Thanks to the joys of modern technology, porn is always just a button push away, whether on the computer, or ordered straight throughout the television.

Personally, I've never been big into porn. Yes I've watched it. Yes it can turn me on. However, I'd much rather ready an erotic story and get off that way. Perhaps it's because I'm a woman and not as visually stimulated as most men. Maybe it's because I'm an English major and just get off on the written word. Who knows.

While reinventing our sex lives, porn has definitely come up as a topic of conversation between Dragon and I.
He knows that due to my self-esteem issues, it's hard for me to watch him get aroused by younger, more attractive, thinner women. But, I also know that porn is a part of all men's existence, and I'm working hard to be a part of all aspects of Dragon's sexual existence.

To ease into the idea of enjoying porn together, Dragon recently shared a video with me that enjoyed from Burning Angel. It featured a kinda (and that's being generous) curvy girl with tattoos, lots of oral and some anal. The girl was totally obnoxious and kept playing with her pigtails and making big wide eyes. It was also POV, which I hate, because it gives me nothing to get off on. Don't get me wrong, I can totally recognize a woman's hotness, but women just don't get me off.

I saw what it was that Dragon liked about the video, acknowledged it, and the subject more or less dropped.

Then, last night, out of the blue, Dragon started perusing the list of on demand porn available through our satellite. He started proposing titles that I may be interested in watching. I did my best to be casual about it, and agreed that the amateur couple videos may be interesting. Next thing I knew, the video was downloading to the tv.We climbed into bed together and I braced myself as he queued up the movie.

The first girl that was featured was a curvy, tattooed girl with pierced nipples and a shaved pussy. All of Dragon's favorites. To top it all off, it turned out it was also POV. Fail.

Dragon tried hard to critique the video to help facilitate my comfort level, but I could feel how aroused he was. I did my best not to feel self-conscious, to not feel every spare pound I was carrying while watching Dragon's dream date, but it was a challenge.

I worked on distracting myself by playing with him, stroking his cock and giving him head. He was incredibly hard, and I tried to enjoy it while ignoring the fact that it was largely due to the porn.

Dragon began to play with me in return and it was easier to watch the porn and take it for what it was. When he began licking my clit and brought me to an amazing orgasm, the movie was totally forgotten.

As the movie moved on to the next couple, we were already having amazing sex, the movie completely forgotten. After we both came (me repeatedly) we lounged and tried to finish watching the movie. It was all POV and all terrible with the absence of even a hot girl for Dragon to drool over.

All in all? A waste of $4.99. If we play with porn again, we're definitely going to have to research our selection a little better beforehand.

Test Drive

As part of our recent sexual adventures, Dragon went shopping for new sex toys. Our collection consisted of a vibrator, a vibe bullet, a single flogger (collecting dust). We were in desperate need of some new items.

Dragon selected a phenomenal spreader bar, a set of neoprene cuffs, a remote vibrating egg, and a blindfold. Yummy.

We've taken the spreader bar with the cuffs for a run, and given the egg a few fantastic workouts. Last night, we finally got to take out the blindfold.

Now, it had been a long time since I have been blindfolded, and I was incredibly excited when Dragon finally pulled out this new item. I love the heightened sensations when sight is removed. I love not knowing what's coming, the nervous anticipation of every touch, the aching need for every kiss, every stroke and not knowing when it will arrive. I love the shocking sting of an unexpected spanking, or teeth grazing an unprepared nipple.

Just to add to the excitement, Dragon presented me with the neoprene cuffs as well. I was instantly wet, squirming in intense anticipation. I couldn't help grinning as he fastened the cuffs around my eagerly offered wrists and slipped the comfortably padded blindfold over my head.

Clipping the cuffs together, Dragon pushed my cuffed hands over my head and proceeded to tease me mercilessly. A hand brushed my stomach. His mouth found mine and his tongue explored my mouth. Fingers tweaked my nipple and I groaned.

Before knew it his tongue was working my clit and his fingers entered me. Hips writhing, I forgot myself and my joined hands traveled down to caress his back. Abruptly he grasped my cuffed wrists and brought them back above my head. The firm correction brought me almost instantly to orgasm.

Moving away from my pussy, I felt him shift on the bed and reposition myself while I waited for his next move. Before I knew it his hands were in my hair and I felt the tip of his cock against my lips. I sucked him eagerly. He raised himself slightly and my mouth moved down his scrotum. He raised himself more and I let my tongue move down further until I was gently tonguing his ass. Dragon had only recently revealed that he was interested in me playing with his ass and I could tell that he was enjoying my tentative exploration.

Pulling away from my mouth, dragon unclipped my wrists and flipped me to lay on my stomach. Once in place, he moved my hands behind my back and re lipped them together. Without a word, I felt his body heavy on top of me as he entered me from behind.

Moving my hips against him, I felt my orgasm mount and moaned out how much I loved his magnificent cock. It only took a few minutes of him fucking me this way before I came. Hard.

As soon as I finished my orgasm, he pulled out of me abruptly, and once again I felt his cock against my mouth. Dragon has told me repeatedly how much he lives to watch me clean my orgasm off his cock with my mouth. I took him as deep as I could in his throat, trying to position myself better without use of my hands.

When he was satisfied I had cleaned him off, he was back on top of me, fucking me hard from behind. It's hard to say what came out my mouth at that point- I was delirious, high on the feel of him inside me. I came at least two more time before beginning to bed him to cum on my ass. I love to feel him explode all over me, and I was ready for it. He continued to move inside me for several more minutes before he finally pulled out of me and covered my ass and parts of my back in his hot cum.

Dragon quickly unclipped my wrists and removed my blindfold, then toweled me off gently. When we had both cleaned up a bit, we collapsed on the bed and basked in the afterglow.




Introduction

If you met me, I'd like to think you'd consider me to be pretty "normal". I'm married with two kids, pets, and a job in a professional office. I enjoy cooking and dorky crafts like sewing and knitting. My life is pretty quiet.

I have tattoos, which, to some people is still a "freak" flag. However, they are becomming more blaise by the day, and I generally keep them well covered as nessesary. Not that I'm ashamed of my ink, which I find beautiful, but I do understand that sometimes we all need to keep up certain appearences.

What a lot of people in my life don't know, and what you woulf never think if you met me, is that I have a very colorful sexual past. I've had one night stands. I've been with a black man. I've been with a woman. I've been a phone sex worker. I've been an enthusiastic participant in the BDSM scene/lifestyle.

Now of course, this isn't something you share with your, neighbor, your sister, or your friends from work. It lurks, and clings to to the shadows. Eventually, with the pressures of work, family, day-to-day life, etc., that active, exciting sex life fades and becomes an item of nostalgia. If your married, often sex becomes just another chore, and moves lower and lower on the priority list.

Such was the case with me and my husband, Dragon (as he will be called from here on in). Even though when we got together we were well aware that we were both pretty kinky people, after several years of marriage, our sex life was in serious trouble. Sex wasn't a priority any more. If we had sex twice a month it was a rare coincidence, or the result of serious pestering from one of us.

Eventually, he strayed. Granted, it was just sexting, but it hurt. In my hurt, my anger, and my battered sense of self-worth, I sought out a stranger and fooled around. Everything was a seething, painful mess.

It very easily could have been over at this point. We both would have been justified to walk away. However, after a lot of open and honest conversation, we realized we still loved each other very much, and the last thing we wanted to do was be apart. We also realized that we both had a lot of needs that weren't being met.

The long and short of it is what could have been a horrible situation actually ended up saving our marriage and completely rekindling our sex life. It's so incredibly hot now in fact, that I just felt that I had to share it.

And so, here we are. I want to share all of our incredibly hot encounters, and all of the things we learn as we explore our sexuality together. Hopefully it's helpful, if nothing more than to get someone else off......
