In a city infamous for its brutality and indifference, where a man's name was worth more than heavy metal gold itself and lies themselves donned clever disguises hiding their very presence in plain sight, Ava Langston stood as an undisputable force, a power that could not be ignored or belittled. She was painstakingly made and groomed to be the senator's wife par excellence--exuding refinement, intelligence, and an unbroken and unbent spirit and wearing an impeccable porcelain mask skillfully hiding her tru...

Kat, Mark, and I sat in our small living room thinking through what we had experienced today. Yevn, a mysterious young woman, had shown up asking for help with a ridiculous tale of aliens and a super important mission, and the most ridiculous thing was that it had turned out to be true. Mark kept looking at the briefcase they had given us, as if to reaffirm that we did indeed have proof of all this....

Welcome to chapter one of The Guilded Lily. These stories were published on Literotica before, some years ago, under my previous user name, IslandCove. They were taken down for editing and the account closed. Now I think it's time to resurrect them. It's a long series of 30 chapters, each about 10,000 words, so the whole thing is equivalent to about 3 or 4 novels!...

They'd been settled into the homestead for just over 2 months. Junior and his family came over to celebrated the 4th of July. James had ribs on the smoker, and cooked the obligatory burgers and dogs on the grill. Ann brought her homemade Mac & cheese while Sam slow cooked some bbq baked beans, and sweet corn on the cob....

Hey everybody. This is a translation of my story . I would like to make it clear that English is not my native language and that this translation was created using various translation tools.
This is an experiment, and I ask for your understanding--but above all, for honest and constructive feedback....

Sweet Child 3
I stood and stared until she got nervous. "Maybe this was a mistake. I'll go now."
I walked up to her. "No, you won't. Come inside and I'll get you something to drink. Then we'll talk."
I turned around, wondering if she would follow me. I felt her footsteps on the deck as I unlocked the door and held it open for her. She gave the living room and kitchen the once-over. "You got a maid?"...

The Duke of Ashcombe had never made a habit of denying himself any pleasure within reach, be it the thrill of a fine horse beneath him or the quiet acquiescence of Miss Farleigh, his sister's governess. He rode her regularly, as he did his horse, and the rides were equally pleasant, though of necessity, shorter -- for governesses, unlike horses, had a vexing tendency to blush, weep, or speak of ruin if detained too long. It amused him greatly that she seemed to resent his attentions; it amused him more that...

Like most veterans with PTSD, James hated being around a lot of people. His desire for solitude had grown over the years as his anxiety and paranoia worsened. He and Patricia had paid cash for a 50 acre spread down in southeast Georgia right on the Altamaha river east of Ft. Stewart. The proximity to the base and the access to the BX and Commissary made it a prime location for his desire for privacy yet still able to enjoy modern conveniences. Now that his Punisher days were over and apparently he was not u...

Chapter 17 POST WEDDING
Gertie becomes Dowager Lady Standhope
Relaxing and reflecting on the event in the hours afterwards, Gertie thought the wedding between her grandson Jake and Gill his bride went off perfectly. With very few exceptions, everybody who was expected turned up at what was penned in the society pages of the national broadsheet press as "the Powerhouse Wedding of the Decade", that anybody who was anybody had no wish to miss, and there were no dramas that arose to spoil the day. The wea...

The Last Incubus: Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Riding on the roller coaster of emotions.
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to weep and a time to laugh." ~ Ecclesiastes 3 vv. 1 & 4.

It was around midnight when I got back to Tina's house. The lights were all on and I could hear music playing when I stepped onto the porch. Inside, Tina, Lezzie and Bailie were in the living room dancing and singing to the music. There were open shopping bags, s...

Chapter 1

Nicholas Carter was a child of the projects. Cheap apartments where the elevators and stairwells smelled of urine and weed and the litter of discarded needles that made going barefoot foolish. Neighborhoods where gunshots and police sirens sounded more regularly than alarm clocks.
His life hadn't always been that way. His mom, Janet, had once been a skilled accountant. Their life had turned hellish by happenstance when he was nine years old. Her Volkswagen was rear-ended by a pickup at a...

Chapter 13

Malachite Palace, Lysannum
The rest of the day of Jade's coronation was filled with traditional coronation day activities, such as Jade's First Court, where she heard matters of law that had been escalated to the highest court in the land, over which the monarch alone presided. Some were trivial disputes that had been raised mostly so that the disputants could say that the Queen had heard their case, but some others were genuinely knotty problems with no obvious solutions....

Crickets chirping, frogs croaking. The sounds of a warm Southern spring night filled the humid air. James McGovern sat in his truck, a Marlboro stuck between his lips. Pain and anger was all he knew anymore, and it was undeniable and crushing. Hanging from his rearview mirror was a silver chain and a matched set of engagement and wedding rings. Patricia's....

Author's Note: And here we are with Chapter 2. John and Kat jet off to New York City. It's been a while since we've been there. My goal with these opening chapters is to frame how the group will be moving forward.
* * *
Maybe it was silly to fly the 737 all the way to New York City just for the two of us, but what was the point of the jet if we didn't use it? Kat and I requested a scaled-down flight crew, and Zoe was the only flight attendant who accompanied us. She had quickly become the favorite amo...

"What's your favorite restaurant to take a date to? Hint: Mine is Mulcaster's," Johanna revealed, grinning.
"Oh. My. Gawd. I can't believe they're playing these questions," Katie Pettit laughed.
At nearly one o'clock the next afternoon, the anthropology professor stood in the Farris' living room as Phinn replayed the noon news she'd missed. On the screen was Channel 9 replaying Johanna's exclusive interview at the cemetery from very early this morning. Still decked out in the glowing diving suit, Jake...

Cindy was shocked when when she woke next to Jimmy in a big soft bed. At first she thought she was dreaming. The last thing she remembered was falling asleep in her bed in the trailer. Yet here she was laying in a great big bed next to the only man that had never abused her. She didn't dare move. She was afraid to wake him and end this peace she felt wash over her. Memories of their time together with Patricia came flooding back. The happy times and the sad. She remembered how Jimmy would hold her when she'...

Chloe's tongue lapped at my lips a couple of times and then pressed into mine just as I started to return in kind. We spent the next few minutes lapping at each other like thirsty canines. Whatever pretense existed was shattered as our crotches ground against each other.
My hands slid up her chest and brushed her trapezius muscles, massaging them for a few minutes under the collar of her shirt. Her back arched and she groaned into my mouth, letting me know that I was doing something right, so I dug my fi...

CHAPTER 1

Charlotte and her husband JJ were at their friends' Danny and Linda's house for a Christmas party. Everyone was drinking and having a good time. There were about 30 people there all told. Some upstairs in the den, some in the living room, some in the kitchen. Others were downstairs in the rec room. As the evening wore on folks got looser and more talkative. And the talk got raunchier. Charlotte, Linda, Josie, and Brenda had broken off from the rest of the crowd and were talking amongst them...

i. The Carrington Clique
Maggie Willis was entertaining. The posher of her two living rooms, which she called her 'salon', was full of people, about a dozen all told, sipping wine and nibbling on sandwiches. They were all from the Village, so she knew most of them by sight, or in a 'pass the time o...

Lisa and Pete had been talking online for a few weeks. First exchanging casual conversation which gradually turned more flirty and then down right filthy. They had never meet each other or even shared pictures but that didn't stop them from organising to meet on the train to finally play out one of their joint fantasies....

"The wrong grave! What do you mean?" Jake questioned, his voice far too loud inside the Tarr family crypt.
Phinn shushed him as they heard raised voices outside. Risking a look, he saw a flashlight shining around Jason's grave. However, it snapped off after a few more seconds. Based on the bickering, along with the known dynamic between the Rattigan brothers, Phinn guessed Garth had turned on his flashlight before Floyd ordered him to shut it off. It was the wiser move to attract the least attention; whi...

The next morning Samantha was jarred awake by Cindy bouncing up and down on the bed calling for her to wake up. "Come on mommy, wake up. We need to go make breakfast before Jimmy wakes up!" She almost corrected Cindy to call him James, but remembered he was Cindy's Jimmy. While she was not an educated woman she was not stupid. She began to realize it was only because of Cindy the she was no longer trapped in that roach infested hell hole with that drunken asshole....

Mr. Nilou chuckled at her outburst and Makayla blushed. The man was amused by her behavior, thankfully, but that didn't stop the girl from feeling embarrassed.
She stayed perfectly in place as the man resumed their kiss, this time it was less sloppy and more gentle. The intimacy was still there if not increased with how caring he behaved....

Eva snuggled in next to Lucas. The two had left the club and gone back to the hotel. The walk gave Eva chance to talk more about his business and the various things the company did for training and support. Eva couldn't imagine how it had grown into such a large organization in less than 15 years. Lucas admitted, sometimes he had a hard time keeping tabs on it all, and was often now relying on his various managers to keep the vision of the company....

The Arcade Machine
Chapter 1: The Offer

By Master John130

Sarah stared at the monitor in the back room of her failing arcade. Another day, another dismal revenue report. The machines out front clattered on, their retro charm doing little to lure in the crowds. Most teenagers wanted flashier thrills now, not old pinball machines and dusty light gun shooters. She rubbed her temples as she looked at her desk strewn with unpaid final demands, thinking maybe it was time to sell -- if anyone even...

Alistar's Dream
Part 2 of Sweet Child of Mine
............................................................................................................................................
I smiled to myself as I watched the guy strut around. He was big, loud, and obviously had an exaggerated opinion of his self-worth. He was holding court with three of his toadies, extolling the virtues of the rat bike Harley he owned....

The last few weeks I have been terribly busy, I have been trying to actively work on this series when I can squeeze in the time to do so. I am currently working on the finale to this third book. This is a short chapter so it has been combined with the next one hence the delay. Enjoy.
I am the key
The entire village was quietly preparing for exodus as the long shadows began to streak the compound. A somber mood prevailed bringing a heaviness to the spirit. The women, children and the elderly would all ...

*See chapter 00. Intro and chapter descriptions*
We were in darkness, a cold shivering and damp dark and I knew I was not alone. The ground was hard, solid rock and slick with water. Screeches and hissing growing louder surrounding us, we could hear the sharp long nails clattering on the rock. I began to glow with yellow heat, knowing the danger was imminent; my companion with her silver coldness. A cavern deep and dark, our light beating back the darkness and revealing to our sight what we already knew....

I watched Chloe's black bra spring free, giving me an unobstructed view of her entire back. My eyes lingered on the dappled light and deep browns as the muscles along her black played in time with the flickering firelight, creating a captivating display that I couldn't have torn my gaze from if my life depended on it. The shallow trench where her spine looked smooth and inviting, and at that moment, I wanted nothing more than to glide my fingers and tongue along her silky skin. Her trap muscles rippled slig...

Sweet Child Of Mine
There was a knock at the door.
I grinned. How many good and bad novels start with that sentence or have it figure prominently in the story? Well, it wasn't a 'dark and stormy night.' I didn't get a lot of visitors because I lived down a private dirt road, although there was one stubbornly persistent Brownie who made her mother bring her every year. I admired her spunk and determination. Whoever her lifemate turned out to be had better be made of stern stuff....
