Chapter 26

Once the rain had stopped, we got back into our "prehistoric" clothes and stepped out into the now-soaked campsite. The river had swollen its banks, its rushing and gurgling much louder. The post-storm afternoon sun peered through the clouds in occasional bright shafts, as if not certain that it was welcome yet. Where its light suffused the still-glittering air, a vivid rainbow stood stark against the darkened eastern sky. Cary "oo...

In this chapter, Rooster punishes Sonia, learns more listening devices were installed at Maya's, his company, and his own home. He begins counter surveillance on Greg. Additionally, Larry, the engineer who got blow jobs from Sonia, finds out someone wants to blackmail him into installing more bugs. This chapter contains oral sex, lesbian sex, sex toys, interracial sex, and mild cuckolding. My thanks to JohnnyGalt for his editorial assistance. This is copyrighted intellectual property.

Author's Note: This story is based on fiction, and all characters are 18 years of age or older. The setting for this story takes place in 2006 when MTV was in its prime as the source for musical information. Kind reminder that this is a novel length fantasy with a semi-slow burn. If you haven't yet read the first two installments, I encourage you to do so in order to immerse yourself in the romantic fantasy....

Thank you to everyone for the wonderful feedback to Dan and Violet's continuing story, and my apologies for the delay. As promised, here's the end of the story (at least, all that I'm likely to tell). It's not as long as the earlier parts, but Dan and Violet had some more stuff they needed to do, and I thought I'd tell you about it....

There's almost no sex in this story.
It was a Wednesday evening, so I was sitting in Dino's, my favorite Italian restaurant. It was the sauce I came back for. I forget how to say it in Italian, but it was spelled 'arrabbiato' which meant 'angry sauce' and the owner let me have on any of the dishes he served. It wasn't a fancy place like some brownstone in Boston but in a strip mall in a nearby suburb. Originally it was just the pizzeria next door, at some point Dino took over the adjacent storefront, thr...

Early Monday morning, following a tumultuous week on many levels. I woke at 7:00, still a little tired after getting home from Alison's house a little after midnight. She had fallen fast asleep, and I crept out of bed, kissed her softly and departed. I laid my head flat on the pillow and visualised what I had planned to work on that day. At 7:45 I rose, showered, and dressed for the day, went downstairs, and put a pot of coffee on to perk. My phone rang at 8:30, it was Devon....

Monday
Four days passed. The gift-wrapped package sitting on the side in their bedroom just lay where it was looking at Harry every time he walked past. He was hugely excited by the thought of it and wondered if Olivia was having similar thoughts. He decided after a couple of days to save himself for the big night -- the night when Olivia was ready for them to open the package and when they would make love with the help of what was inside....

I never wanted to devour a man more in my entire life.

"You should not feed bread to them, you know," his voice was raspy, quite boyish which made me look up at his face.
He was tall. His eyes a little sunken which looked intentional. His face appeared pale.
"Why?" I asked scattering the remaining pieces of bread to the pigeons....

I'm a bad person, or at least that's what most people would tell you, if they knew.
You see, I travel to Thailand and frequent bars a couple of times a year, staying for a month, where i hop bars and find me a temporary girlfriend, sometimes for an evening and sometimes for the whole stay. We all crave connection, in one way or another... Not that I don't want a real girlfriend or e...

Chapter 1, the failed date
Life sucks, I thought as I trudged home through the rain.
It was Friday night. I had just left a nice restaurant, abandoning a lovely meal mostly uneaten on the table. I couldn't take the company of my date any longer, Robert de-Montis. I mean, what sort of weird name is that? A name belonging to ...

Rain
The rain is very steady and has been falling for hours now. It is a cool, grey, late-fall day -- the temperature and storm combining to dissuade any notion of outdoor activities. We've worked separately on our tasks through the evening -- me attending to some deferred IT chores surrounding your electronics and you reviewing manuscripts at your kitchen counter, nicely illuminated now beneath new track lighting. There is a warmth suffusing most of your home, and I've chosen to do some of my work downs...

And it's that time again! As part of the OGGBASHAN MEMORIAL EVENT 2025, I, supported by others, have put together a story which I hope lives up to the expectations as part of the memorial event. Like last years entry, one entry is in English, the other with a part German dialogue. This story has been supported by my friends Tim & Frank for the US based segment, and 29wordsforsnow for their wealth of knowledge in where to go looking for, or providing the background material for this story. They also proved t...

This is my entry in the Heroism - the Oggbashan Memorial Event 2025. Ogg was a long time contributor and active presence on the Literotica forum for many years. He embodied the word heroism, fighting against death itself. This story is in his honor. BE WARNED! This is a long story with a slow burn, and has a great deal of historical content. Please try a different story if you are unprepared to engage....

Dearest reader,
You really didn't think that was the end did you? Sorry to have worried you. New readers, to state the obvious, this is Chapter 5. Chapter 1 is here (it may be in Lesbian Sex, but, trust me, it is very romantic.)
Happy reading!

Dunstan had seen the Palacio Real before with the same tour guide so was glad to be looking around without having to concentrate on the narrative. The party consisted of forty women artists of varying ages from all over Spain who work in a variety of media. The guide spoke of the paintings, sculptures and artists at great length in Spanish. Dunstan was busy with his camera and not paying much attention to the others nor the guide. She had al...

Lukas and Tessa had been dating for several months. They first met online and after a few chats and meetings, they became a couple. But they have never had any romantic moments. For Lukas, it was nice to spend time with her but deep inside he was frustrated about it because he was a very passionate man with very little romantic experience. Tessa was a very kind and emotional girl. She was pale, had beautiful blue eyes, long straight brown hair and her body was very sporty. She used to go to the gym, she had...

[Author's note: Hey there! If you're here without reading the first part 'A virgin soldier goes to a brothel for the first time' I strongly encourage you to read it before this. It will be way more enjoyable, trust me |! It can be found on my profile!
I also encourage you to tell me your thoughts. Do you want more? Something else? Send me a message. I'm always here to deliver!]...

I think it's already 10 am sun is just coming in the room and it feels really great to have you in my arms. Really hot, and wet.
I'm just turning around and watching the street outside that people are passing, cars. Shaking trees and feel like I'm completely in another world. Hot, soft world that smell like roses....

Makayla blushed and hurried to finish sucking the last of the fruit juice off her fingers before turning.
She saw Daniel come in with his phone turned off and a smile on his face. She hadn't even realized so much time had passed. It had to have been fifteen minutes already.
She wiped her mouth before speaking. "Thank you for the fruit. It's really good." With an arm, she waved over the mountain of food....

(Note to readers: The characters in sex acts are older than 18. This is about a woman and a man, cis-het, American, modern-day. And some square sheets of paper. Enjoy!)

It's become a bit of a tradition for me to start my stories with a warning that they are both a slow burn and lacking in sex (more 'Lit' than 'Erotica'). Along with my usual warning, this story is a bit of an experiment and leans more towards contemporary fiction than traditional romance. There is a romantic relationship at the heart of the narrative, but I think of traditional romances as being more akin to fairy tales for adults, while this story is (a bit) more realistic....

Moving into the guesthouse with Aiden was an adjustment for Kate. Practically, it didn't change much. They still had their schedule, gym in the morning, tennis in the afternoons and dinner with her parents and whichever family members turned up. But at the end of the night, it was just two of them.
It was Kate's first experience of true freedom. She could come out of the shower naked and ask him to 'dirty her up again' without worries. Theoretically, she should have asked him to sign an NDA, but he was A...

It was summer and Lukas just finished his first year at a university. He was so happy that he passed all his exams, and he was looking forward to meeting his girlfriend, Ivy. Same as Lukas, she finished her first year at her university and they had holidays so they could spend all their time together. They had been dating for 2 months, and their relationship was just perfect. They both were introverted and understood each other perfectly. Their first meeting was at a kid's playground at night, and it was ve...

The first of several short stories about strictly platonic relationships that are still full of love. That means there is no sex in this story. For some reason these stories all came out in first person from the perspective of telling you about the events afterwards.
This idea came about when I saw someone's new haircut. Not based on actual people. This one is about two women who live together, are very much in love with each other, but do not have sex....

I drag the towel over the rowing machine to wipe up the sweat the last bloke left behind. We've got signs everywhere asking users to clean the kit when they're done, but no one ever bloody does. Still, as my uncle always says, customer's always right and all that. So I end up being Mr Dogsbody, cleaning up other people's bodily fluids for half my shift. Not exactly glamorous, but I can't complain. I get to use the gym for free when I'm off the clock, have a laugh with the lads, and there are enough fit girl...
