The police came at about 5 AM to the ER with a strange request. They needed a patient gown. They wondered if we might have an extra one. We gave them two. One for the front and one for the back.
We were highly motivated to assist the policemen. Not just because we liked the officers on duty, nor because they had come to assist us in the ER a few times in the past (using tasers, bean bag shotguns, and various other toys) when we had violent patients. No, in this case we were motivated because the gowns were needed for a patient who had recently escaped the ER by breaking down a door and running out into the streets. Not only that, she had run out into 48 degree temperatures, quite cold for our part of Florida, and although she was gowned appropriately at the time she left, we were concerned for her safety and well being.
The patient was apprehended not long after her escape by the police, who found her jogging naked down the street. This was both a relief, and a cause for concern (or amusement) depending on the mood and personality of the health care worker receiving the news. The naked part was not that surprising, since the patient had initially arrived dressed in her usual "business attire" with both nipples exposed to anyone willing to look. Such a presentation is not all that uncommon among street prostitutes, or those involved in our thriving local drug trade.
After the patient was covered front and back with the hospital gowns, she was placed back in the police car to be taken to jail (for assaulting a health care worker prior to her "escape"). This outcome was of course applauded by the ER staff, but then the conversation inevitably turned to our many local ER patrons who are "frequent fliers". So often they come with dishonesty or "lack of candor" about their illnesses. Sometimes they present lying about their substance abuse, and no explanation for why they have $3,000 cash stuffed in their underwear. Nearly always they vastly underestimate their alcohol consumption. They place an enormous burden on ER staff across the country.
We have liberals, conservatives, and apolitical types in the ER. And we all pretty much agree that there is no conceivable government program or hospital solution that will end substance abuse, alcoholism, or prostitution. Nothing will stop patients from lying to police or health care workers, or abandoning their families, or choosing drugs over their jobs. Human nature being what it is, some persons will always choose to be lazy, or idle or dishonest. Some will be thieves or prostitutes (or worse yet, politicians).
These conversations inevitably lead to one of two conclusions. Some want to give up, saying you can't fix human nature. Some insist there has to be an answer, people are valuable. I agree… with both camps.
Although it may be true that we cannot "fix" human nature, there are two areas of action where we can make a dent in these horrendous destroyers of humanity.
The first is the purview of pastors, the second is the province of politicians.
If we can intervene early and often in the lives of children and adolescents to provide worth, structure, a loving family, a caring adult, a hope for the future… research has shown that the odds of a child living a productive and happy life are vastly higher when they grow up in a supportive and caring environment. I am all for this, and I encourage all efforts, faith based and otherwise, to enhance the value and ostensible worth of all lives. This can admittedly be quite complex, because the very same behaviors we are seeing in the ER (homelessness, mental illness, alcoholism, substance abuse, prostitution) also inflict serious, sometimes lifelong emotional damage on any children in proximity to these behaviors. And the same adults we are "rescuing" daily or weekly from their indulgences are sometimes inflicting serious emotional damage on their own children and families.
But what of those already afflicted in the current pandemic of alcoholism, homelessness, alcoholism, and crime? Is there hope to end this suffering? Have we finally passed enough legislation to end these blights on humanity? (Resoundingly NO.) Or are the very government programs designed to alleviate suffering, sometimes making the problems worse? (Sometimes, unfortunately, YES.)
And this is where we enter the province of politicians. You may sense that I do not always hold politicians in high esteem. It is true. But politicians have a place, and I do not wish to demean the office to the point where no decent, honorable or honest person would run for office. For if and when we reach that point (and I fear we are ever so close) our nation is doomed.
Nevertheless, what can we do about our naked, substance abusing, homeless, aggressive prostitute? After all, we provided her, and hundreds of other alcoholics and substance abusers, a place to sleep, food to eat, and a bus pass as they were leaving. We worked them up in their stupor with lab work and CT scans that often cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars… the costs of which are shifted to more upstanding citizens with insurance. We speak to them with respect and offer psychiatrists for those who are severely depressed, homicidal, or suicidal. We "believe them" and take it seriously when they say they are suicidal, even though every fiber of our experience and professional training tell us they are lying, and all they really want is "3 hots and a cot". What more can we do?
Are we helping these patients at all? We probable prevent some withdrawal seizures. Perhaps we are occasionally able to prevent a suicide or homicide. I am certainly happy at these benefits of our ministrations. But more often, are we not merely helping them be better, more successful drug addicts? Are we not just removing the natural consequences of substance abuse and alcoholism, taking away the very discomforts and inconveniences which might drive a man or woman to sobriety?
Tens of thousands of times every day across this country this process repeats itself. A patient spends their last dime on drugs or alcohol, then runs to a local ER for treatment of their DT's, or their falls, or their confusion, or for free food. Sometimes it is just for a warm bed because all their rent money went to cocaine. And we provide.
And the next day or the next week the cycle repeats, and they come in again with an alcohol level 5 or 6 times the legal limit. Or maybe comatose this time from opiate OD, or agitated, hallucinating, and aggressive on cocaine. And we do it all again… and again… and again.
I cannot tell you the cost to society that this represents. In some ways I do not even care. My question is simply this. Are we harming our patient? With all our coddling and warm fuzzies, are we actually making lives, families and society WORSE rather than making them better?
I believe many times we are.

As part of our ongoing '3 minute series' of blog posts, we're chatting to various members of the talented gomo team around the world to get to know them a bit better. If you haven't already seen them, check out our previous '3 minutes' Q&As with Director of Product Development Gavin Beddow, Business Development Manager in the US Thom Tate, Lead Test & Support Guru Pratibha Shah, Developer James Hough, Senior Mobile Architect Adam Fox, Marketing Operations Manager Elle Brown and Managing Director Mike Alcock. Today we're talking to James Gowen, a gifted developer who enjoys the great outdoors.
Tell us about yourself – who are you?
I'm James and I'm a developer at gomo. I've worked in the eLearning industry for most of my career and really enjoy the variety of work and the technology we use. I love riding mountain bikes, hiking, climbing, camping and hanging out with my little boy who I hope to introduce to all of these things once he is old enough. At home I do a lot of cooking and enjoy a good sci-fi movie – Blade Runner is my all-time favorite film.
What's your greatest achievement?
My greatest achievement so far is probably rock climbing on the sea cliffs of Pembroke while the seals watched. I spent a lot of time learning the skills needed and getting all of the right gear sorted out, so topping out on the hardest climb I'd ever done was a great feeling.
What do you do at gomo?
At gomo, I'm a developer based in the Brighton office. I am responsible for fixing any issues we find, building client themes, new assets and other new features that help improve gomo.
Why do you love working at gomo?
I love working at gomo because the team is very friendly and the work is constantly changing and interesting. It's a great place for me to learn new skills from the talented developers and I enjoy being part of a successful product that people enjoy using.
Finally, favorite chocolate bar and why?
My favorite chocolate is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. You can't beat chocolate and peanut butter. I'd rather drink a nice beer than eat chocolate, though.

Have I Been Here Before?
Have you ever wondered whether you are making some real progress on your spiritual journey or are you just going around in circles within the same bandwidth of consciousness and frequency?
Brett* spent many long years on the spiritual circuit of reading books, attending workshops and following certain teachings. His journey was something of a yo-yo, swinging from one side to the other with astonishing regularity. At times, he thought himself far advanced, at other times he felt discouraged and despairing like he was the laggard in the spiritual game. There would be a great many moments when he would feel peaceful, calm and confident that he was progressing well. Then, it would take just a small interaction or event to upset his equilibrium and send him down the pit of stress, deep anger and hopelessness.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title="Section 2″ tab_id="1513726196104-b6f04273-5894″][vc_single_image image="18347″ img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]
How Do I Get There? …
Sound familiar? At least some of it? Many of us who embark on a conscious journey usually have no clear markers about where we are on it in the first place and how to progress to the next level. And because we don't, we can spend a great deal of time, effort and money trying to master what is at best a dimly lit path into infinity.
'The levels of consciousness aid you in mastering the components of being human. So everything that is an issue that comes up in your life – the answers can be found in your journey through the levels of consciousness. That is a truth.' ~ Julius
[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title="Section" tab_id="1543339101449-90c62b0a-e13d"][vc_single_image image="18346″ img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]
The Answer: Raise Your Consciousness
Given that the answer to all issues in life lies in raising our consciousness, how do we access this solution when we don't know where we are in consciousness. How can we progress to the next level when we don't know what it takes to move from the current level to the next one?
The conscious journey is all about understanding ourselves and being who we really are. One of the major contributing forces to our evolution or lack of it is our relationships and interactions with other human beings. When we understand the various phases of consciousness, we also become adept at understanding where everyone else is in their phase of consciousness, which greatly helps us interact with them more harmoniously and less judgment, allows us to see through deceit, take those relationships to a more expansive space and many more benefits.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title="Section" tab_id="1513733784624-952489e2-a62d"][vc_single_image image="18349″ img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]
Build Yourself a Strong Foundation
In view of the sheer importance of these understandings, Julius considers their teachings on the 7 levels of consciousness to be the foundation for all their other teachings. These teachings constitute an absolutely indispensable roadmap for all who have awakened and are on their spiritual journey. While Julius has already given teachings on these 7 levels, they are now going to give more detailed and advanced understandings about each of these levels. Over a period of 7 months, there will be a two-part teaching every month on one level of consciousness. The teaching on the first level of consciousness starts in a few days.

Teachers don't get enough credit. They are liberators. By their generous service, they free us from the dangers and restrictions of ignorance. They inspire us with the wonders of nature and art, walk with us through the story of humanity and lift our minds to contemplate ideals and virtues. Educere, the Latin root of "educate," means "to lead out." That is what teachers do. They lead us out of our native darkness into the light of wisdom, knowledge and learning. But, of course, to do any of this, we first have to listen to them. For our own good, we allow teachers an authority in our lives. We listen to them, we obey them, because we trust them to teach the truth; "and the truth will set you free" (Jn 8:32).
In this Sunday's gospel, Jesus' contemporaries remark upon his authority. At a mere word, he has the power to drive out demons. They marvel, "What is this? A new teaching with authority." Like any teacher, Jesus has authority, and that authority is exercised for the good of others. Like any teacher, Jesus wants to lead us out of darkness by the truths he teaches; but these truths, only Jesus can teach: "No one has ever seen God. The only Son, God, who is at the Father's side, has revealed him" (Jn 1:18). Jesus alone can teach the truths we most need to know, the truths about God, about his love and our salvation. These truths set us free; but, of course, we first need to listen.
Saint Paul touches on this freedom in the call to celibacy: "An unmarried woman or a virgin is anxious about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in both body and spirit." An individual responding to the call of celibacy experiences it as an increased freedom. It is not a constraint. Freed from the many anxieties of this world, their life more closely resembles the life of heaven. Jesus has absolute authority in the celibate's life. He thinks only "how he may please the Lord." As Jesus dominates in a life, greater freedom is always the result.
Moses foresees, "a prophet like me will the LORD, your God, raise up...to him you shall listen." Like Moses, Jesus is a liberator; he has come to free us from slavery and lead us to the Promised Land. He has come to teach the truth that sets us free. But, as with any teacher, he needs us to listen. We first have to acknowledge his authority. The Father himself has testified on his behalf: "this is my beloved Son...listen to him." But it is up to us to accept him as the Teacher.

GOOD SOLID DINER, a GREENWICH VILLAGE INSTITUTION
Chianti Comes To Town
Sassello and awesome reserve production CHianti from Castello Verrazzano
by Luigi Cappellini
Daniel Bellino-Zwicke and Cavalier Luigi Cappellini of Castello Verrazzano at DeGrzia Restaurant
New York …
Yes Chianti came to town the other day. The town? New York City. The Chianti, Castello Verrazzanno … Luigi Cappellini of Castello Verrazzano (Owner) visited with me and tasted me on his latest offerings from his equisite wine estate in Greve in Chianti Classico .. Chianti Classico is the great wine region in Tuscany that produces Italy's most storied wine "Chianti" along with Vin Santo and porprietory Super Tuscan Wines .. Mr. Cappellini is the proud owner of one of Chianti Classico's and Italy's finest most beautiful wine estates. They produce three different Chianti wines; a Chianti normale, Chianti Riserva, and a special limited edition Cru Chianti in Sassello which was formally bottled as a Super Tuscan but has by a good choice of Mr. Cappellini been made and classified into Chianti Classico Riserva status. Luigi brought the Sassello to me to taste along with other fine wines. Let me tell you, when I tasted the Sassello, it blew my wine. The "Sassello" Chianti Classico Riserva 2007 is one of the finest wines that I have tasted of a few thousand wines this year. The wine has everything going on for it, and I'm not going to go into some drrwn out boring discription other than to say it was delicious, tasty, "In Perfect Balance," and just one of those extra special wines. I love it, and ordered 2 6 packs on the spot. We have many great wines in our extensive cellars of Big Names of great prestige and storied vintages, and I can easily say, that when we take delivery of this wine next week it will be among our greatest wines in our cellars of a couple thousand, the wine is great as great can be, "Basta!"
Luigi also brought his 2009 Chianti normale and Chianti Reserva 2007, both quite tasty. Unfortunately, I wasn't tasted on their (Verrazzano's) great Vin Santo, which I've drank on numerous occasions in Greve at the Verrazzano Estate .. I wasn't tasted on it, as the importer Palm Bay does not import that particular wine from Verrazzano, but I can tell you from experience, the wine is nutty, lush, and just perfect …
One wine that Luigi tasted me on and of which I just bought 2 cases as I love it, is a wine called Verrazzano Rosso, with a subtitle of MiniTuscan … The wine is super tasty and very affordable … It is made of Sangiovese, Cannaiolo, Mavasia, and a tiny bit of Trebbiano. This wine is made in the classic true old style of Chianti of which white grapes were allowed in the blend of mostly Sangiovese Grapes along with the native Cannaiolo, and white native grapes Trebbiano and Malvasia. The wine is quite tasty of medium body and ripe as well as a tad of bitter fruit flavors. As I said, this wine as made in the way that Chianti used to be made with native grapes of the Chianti Classico wine region. The laws and rules of what is a Chianti Classico by the law of the Italian Goverment and Chianti Consorzio were changed in 1996 to incude the sacraligious inclusion of international grapes like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon … For those who know me, they know I distane this practice along with a few other people who are Chinati lovers and purest. We wish for the laws to change back and exclude all "non-native Grapes" like Merlot, Cabernet Suavignon and any others, and for Chianti to incude only native grapes and a blend of mostly Sangiovese and including small amounts of native grapes like; Cannaiolo, Colorino, Malvasia Nero, and very tiny amounts if a property so chooses of the white grapes of Trebbiano and Malvasia Bianco. This is true CHianti and the kind of Chianti Luigi Cappellini makes at the Verrazzano Estate.
Daniel Bellino Zwicke
WHAT WINE For SUNDAY SAUCE? ITALIAN GRAVY?
Wine for Sunday Sauce? What do you drink? Which wine pairs best with Sunday Sauce, thee Supreme Dish of Italian-America? Is it Chianti, most iconic of all Italian Wines? Perhaps Aglianico or Piedrossa from the region of Campania where the roots of Italian-American Sunday Sauce Gravy begin? Or a Sicilian Wine like Nero d'Avola or Norello Mascallese? If you trace the roots of Italian-American Sunday Sauce and the people who created it, Sicilians are among the top of the list. Now, I know since you came to this page that bottle of Carlo Rossi "Paisano" just had to catch your eye. And I'm sure most of you are asking the question, "Carlo Rossi Paisano, are You Kidding?" The answer. "No, Not Really." Well I'm not saying it's the best choice. OK so we have to match a good wine with that fabulous Sunday Sauce of yours. What to drink?
I'm here to tell you, it can be one or more of many wines, and don't count a wine like Carlo Rossi Paisano out. "You're Joking?" You say. No. Listen, this can be your wine, maybe not. I myself have drank some of the World's Priciest, and so-called greatest wines in the World, "Trophy Wines," like; Sassicaia, Gaja Barbaresco. La Tache, Chateau Petrus, Cahteau Haute Brion, Petrus, Chateasu Cheval Blanc, Chateau Latour, all the great Brunello and barolo wines, great vintage Champagnes, you name it, "I've had it." And with my knowledge of wine, I can tell you, a lot of it is hype, and Marketing BS, and sometimes not. And I'll tell you this, do not be so much of a snob, a Wine Snob. You see that Carlo Rossi, with all the prestigous wines that I've consumed over the years, I'm not above drinking that. Carlo Rossi .. The wine has special meaning and affection for me. It's one of the two wines my uncles always bought for our Sunday Family Meals. Meals of Meatballs, Sunday Sauce "Gravy," Ravioli, Veal Marsala, Chicken Cactitore. My Uncles Tony and Frank always had either Carlo Rossi paisano or Gallo Hearty Burgungy on hand. They were their wines, and they only had other wines if someone brought something like Bolla Valpolicella, Rufino Chianti or some other wine. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Paisano or Gallo Hearty Burgundy are great wines, "No." But they are not that bad. They are Italian-American Wines made by Italian-Americans and have social significance to Italian-Americans. These wines are part of our history, as are the wines from the great Robert Mondavi, The Mondavi Family, Francis Ford Coppola and other Italian Families in America.
So what am I saying? What wines to drink with the Sunday Sauce or any home-made Italian American Meal? Well, actually most of the time I do drink wines from Italy with my Sunday Sauce or whatever Italian food we're making. The Carlo Rossi is just when we eat over Uncle Tony's house with Uncle Frank and all the wonderful meals with Aunt Fran, Aunt Helen, Mommy, Cousin Tony, and my brothers and sister and the whole family. No, I'm not above drinking Carlo Rossi or Gallo if my Uncles are serving it. When we're eating at home, we usually love to drink Chianti, most times, sometimes Barolo, Barbera, or Brunello. But most often it's Chianti which I love and it goes quite well with just about anything we eat, especially Meatballs, Sausage, and Sunday Sauce. Chinati comes from Tuscany and is a medium bodied wine made mostly from Sangiovese (The Blood of Jobe), and with small percentages of other native Tuscan grapes like; Colorino, Malvasia Nero, Cannaiolo, or Ciegolo.
One thing I must say is, that I usually don't like wines like Big, concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah from California or Australia. To me, these are the last wines I would ever want to drink with Italian food. Reason. These wines are usually to rich, and because of that, they clash with the food instead of complementing them. the wines you want to drink should have good flavor, but be light to medium in body and weight. Not Bif, Fat, Rich, and concentrated. "No Bueno!"

DiFARA "America's BEST PIZZA"
The PIZZA MAESTRO "Dom DeMarco"
"Yes," Eating Pizza Made by The Maestro DOM DeMARCO
Is a Religious Experience !!!
Much has been said of the now famed Pizzeria (DiFarra Pizza) on Avenue J in Brooklyn, New York the Capital of Thee Best Pizza in the whole United States of America, bar-none, even Manhattan. Brooklyn lays claim to the Top two Pizzerias in the country, the top of the list 1 and 2, number 1, The Best and number 2, the second best. Well no, I don't know if I should put it that way, as it sound s as one is better than the other, which is not ht e case, as they are both equally good, equally Great and equally the Best Pizza and the Best Pizzerias in the United States, though they are are little different than one another. The Pizza at both Totonno's on Neptune Avenue in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York and Di Farra Pizza on Avenue J in Brooklyn are both otherworldly specimens of some the Finest Pizza on other and the Undisputed Best Pizza in America.
Wow, got off on a tangent about both Di Farra and Totonno's when I just intended to talk about Di Farra Pizza, Dom DeMarco the Maestro of Di Farra's and the Religious experience that it is to go there, watch Dominic masterfully make Pizza after glorious Pizza (without the help of anyone else), to watch in awe and anticipation and Salivation til you finally get yours (after about a hour or hour and a half wait), you hold it in your hand like a precious baby, and then to sink your teeth into it, savoring each wondrous bite after the other. "Yes," it is truly a religious experience, that is, if you are a great lover of this wonderful invention, created in Napoli, spread throughout the the Italian Peninsular and then across the Atlantic to America from Italian Immigrants where Gennaro Lombardi opened the First Pizzeria in America on Prince Street in New York City some 100 years ago or so.
Back to Di Farra and Pizzaiolo Extraordinaire, Mr. Dominic DeMarco. It is Dominic that makes Di Farra what it is, it certainly isn't the Pizzeria itself which is ultra plain and even appalling to some. Mr. DeMarco's pizzas are just about as close to absolute perfection in the Pizza Making World, a world in which New York City excels and has only one rival in Naples, Italy and the whole of Italy itself. Mr. De Marco has the magic touch, with perfect dough, the perfect balance of ingredients, tomato and other ingredient ratio to cheese, and this include Mr. Demarcos judicious use of Olive Oil which is right-on and a little magic touch that whoever complains about it, just does not know there Pizza and Italian Food on a whole. We Italians love our olive oil. And those who complain are unaware that it is a condiment that adds the final last touch to many dishes before they are eaten. Dominic knows this and should not be discourage against his generous use of it by those who do not understand the proper essence of the Italian Table. So please, keep your traps shut, if you don't like it don't eat it, this countries finest examples of the Pizza Art.
And on to the religious experience of Di Farra, Dom DeMarco and the mans artistry with Pizza. There is nothing quite like it in the entire Pizza World. There does not exist, to my knowledge any place in the world that has an elderly man making a hundred plus Pizzas a day in a place that has endless lines, day and night. Pizza that are so perfect, words can not describe People line up for greatness and artistry, and for a couple of slices of the most marvelous pizza this side of Naples, and to watch this passionate little old man work his heart out, not getting, not allowing anyone else to make a pie at his beloved Pizzeria. The man is elderly. He's worked his whole life. He makes such a magical thing that people line up each and every day to see him and eat one of his many masterpieces. With business like this, he could hire to other Pizzaiolos to help him, doubling or tripling his business and and financial intake. He could hire two guys and make pizza aloing with them, or sit back and get three guys to do it. At his age, he's entitled to. But know, Dom DeMarco loves what he does, he loves his Pizza, each and every one that passes that counter and into thousands of appreciative hands. The man feels that no one else can make a Pizza the way he does and wants to serve to his customers. No one else who has his skills, his passion and love for the Pizza, thus he does it all himself. And this my friends is the reason that going to Di Farra's to watch Dominic the maestro in action, all by himself while hundreds of people line up every day, waiting an hour and a half to two hours just to get a Pizza (not just any old Pizza mind you). "It's a Religious Experience." Truly! A show and there is nothing like it in the World, Dom DeMarco, a man and his Pizza, America's Best, and something to rival that other World Pizza Capital, Napoli.

Hi Everyone
There is some revolutionary changes I am introducing in Daily Skincare of My Hubby.He has developed some sensitivity around his nose and cheeks.I was looking for good exfoliating product which can be used as a face wash also(As he will never be ready to use two different products on face every morning.) His skin is very sensitive and is prone to rash/redness. So I always choose as gentle skincare for him as possible.One of the exfoliating product We both really liked initially is in today's post i.e
Biotique Bio Papaya Exfoliating Face Wash Review,Price

Don't think your background makes much of a difference in your videos?
Think again. Ever watched a video and said to yourself "OK. Just ignore the piles of books and papers falling over and focus!"
Reminds me of what a judge says to the jury when the prosecutor says something inflammatory:
"The jury will disregard that last statement."
But they don't really, do they? Instead, those words hang in the air like burnt sulfur.
In fact, there are 5 distinct types of environments you can create for any video and they all have a big impact on how you are perceived.
So how do you choose which is the most authentic, attractive, let alone authoritative?
This video demonstrates all 5 environments and offers some perspective on what each is all about.
And just below the video is a gift: a simple way to make any of these environments as perfect as a pro.
Yes, it's really free…at least for our subscribers. 🙂

t happened some time ago. Manjari, 20 having done her graduation was not pursuing her studies and just just lazying around.

Fucked by a super boyhttps://hotandromence.wordpress.com/?p=42&preview=true
First I will tell you about my back ground I am sana 35 years old married woman with a 8 year old son. I like "Hot And Romence" very much..I am more opt towards the sex as I was not satisfied by my husbandi am a average woman,medium complexioned and slim.
I have big breasts and big ass.They are very attractive. My interest in sex is very high and so the requirement. During first four years of our married life My husband was not that bad in sex. He is basically a shy and soft in nature.
Though we were having sex his actions were very passive whereas my requirement was hardcore sex and frequently.He was fucking me just like a duty, without bothering about my satisfaction.Anyhow I got a child,which is 8 year old now.
Gradually he started losing even the little interest he had.Whenever I tried to attract him his response was poor.Rarely when he had sex,he had the problem of premature ejacuation which frustrated me further.
Then at one stage I took a decision to cross the limits, as I did not want to lose the enjoyment and pleasure of sex which I love to the core.I decided to have safe secret affairs for fun and sexual pleasure..I was looking for an opportunity.
But the big problem is my cousin brother who is now staying with us.He completed his b-tech in this year in electronics and searching a job in IT-field. As My hubby is a business man he frequently visit tours but at the same time my cousin brother at home.
He oftenly goes for an interview.So my GREATEST DESIRE is as soon as he got a job and leave my family alone so that I can frequently live with my delicious life.But now I was very desperate to have a cock in my cunt since it was a long time I had sex with my hubby
(nearly 6month).So I decided to find a guy who can give me a lot pleasure.I searched for a nice guy in the net.After few days of search I found an information posted by a guy simply describing his profile (most guys upload his faq descriptions)
But this guy was as honest as he(I feel after meeting also)that he was such a person that no one get upset with him and always desire to sex with him for life time.He had included his email.So I am sending my sex desires to that guy and receives a good response.
So I am waiting for my sex luck.And soon the day will come,it was the month of august I found that, day after tomorrow my hobby is on a tour and my cousin brother have interview at Mysore.So I decided to tell the situation to that guy and I mail to that guy.
He agreed and gave his cell number. The day I got alone I call that guy. I was waiting eagerly to get connected to him.The ring went and so I got excited.then the call got connected and asked him whether he could come to my house.He readily accepted and then I gave my address.
He said that he will come after an hour or so.I got dressed up and was anxiously waiting for him.After sometime exactly at 10:15 in the morning I heared the door bell ring.I went to the door opened it and found a guy standing at the door.He said hello and introduced him.
Then I welcomed him in and gave him some soft drinks. About that guy I think he was 5.6, whitish (look like indo-asian)weight 60(I guess).And the most amazing thing is that any woman can make a company with him as he was so cute and handsome
and I think everyone has a desire to have a friendship of that type of guy and roaming with him here and there. I felt that he was very nervous.So I sat near him and asked him to relax.He said its ok and then we talked about us for sometime.
It was 11:00 and now I decided to start the session.I asked him to sit for a while and went into my bedroom.After few minutes I called him in.He came and sat on the bed. Then I sat near him touching his thigh.I kept my hands on his thigh and caressed it.
I could feel his cock bulging inside his pants.Now I asked him to take off his clothes.He obeyed me and removed his shirt and his pants.Now I asked him to stop.then I put my hands on his underwear and pulled it down.wwwwwwwwwow
I was astonished to see his penis….it was almost 7 inches.Now I moved the foreskin and I could see the brownish head of his cock.I then took the cock in my hand and gently squeezed it.He screamed hhhhhmmmmm.then immediately
I took his cock in my mouth and began to suck it vigorously.His cock struck my throat constantly as I swallowed his entire cock in my mouth with lots and lots of lust.I didnt leave him until he cummed inside my mouth.I drank all his cum,it was of nice taste.
I was amazed, I gave him a kiss on the cheek. He then responded with a kiss on my lips and now we were trying to explore each others mouth with our tongues. He then put his right hand on my right boob through my clothes.
He started fondling and caressing it and at the same time kissing me passionately. His tongue was roaming inside my mouth. Now he started to fondle my boobs. I said "wait and startd to remove my saree,blouse and my petticoat.
He then cupped my boobs with both hands and squeezed them simultaneously. Now he removed my bra and squeezed my boobs.All the time I was moaning hhhhhhhmmmmmm aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.He then put his lips on them, I felt in heaven.
He started sucking on my tits. I was moaning with utmost pleasure. While he was sucking me, his hands went down to my belly and then to my pussy, he put his index finger right between my cunt lips. I was loving every moment of his touches.
Then he took his face away from my tits to my legs.He started to lick my legs from bottom to top,right up to my thighs.I was just enjoying and groaning.He licked me very vigorously that I came within a flash two times.He drank all my cum and exclaimed that it was so nice…..
Now I asked him to fuck me….slid my panty down and asked to lie on the bed with his penis facing the roof. And then at next moment I sat on his huge cock. His cock was going inside my hole.He screamed aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh….
I groaned in pain… I started moving up and down, his dick was a great feeling inside my thirsty pussy. We did that for some time and after that he decided to come over me and I agreed to him readily. Now I was being laid by him on the back.
He came over me and parted my legs, he then, pushed his cock deep inside my cunt. And I screamed mmmmmnnnnnhhhhh in pleasure. He started to ramn his rock hard cock back and forth in my aching pussy.. Slow at first but then harder as I screamed for him to give it to me.
His hands grabbed my ass and He pounded away, fucking me with all his might. I was as hot as I met his thrusts, moaning every time his balls slapped my clit. He was doing very fast so that I could not control myself and he made me cum and I shivered
as I came but he did not stop he was ramming his rod with a great speed and I was Bit surprised to see his stamina. And thinking of one thing, who says that the thinner guys could not fuck hard? I am telling the fact of this guy that he had that capability
to satisfy a horny lady respective of their ages. While he was stroking his dick in and out of my pussy, my tits were rolling and moving in circular direction. And I was busy fondling my clitoris. My hands gripped his ass as I spread his cheeks and ran a finger in his asshole.
He jumped at this new feeling but looked into my eyes and knew what I was doing. His legs spread and I slid a finger up his ass. My finger kept rubbing his ass as he kept cumming in my pussy.We fucked for at least five times that night.
After it was over we became very tired and slept and in the morning I went to the bathroom for bath and suddenly he came from behind and holded me and he kept his cock between by ass chicks and rubbing it and holding my boobs and kissing me in the neck
which I was feeling great. I asked him to fuck me like wild dog fucking his bitch yes that night I was his bitch and he agreed. We both took bath and came to the bed room I saw the clock it was 7.30AM now. He made me laid on the bed my back facing towards him he parted my ass
chicks and I asked him to apply some oil. He told their will be no fun without pain. He said NO PAIN NO GAIN. He kept his cock at the end of the anus I thought he will do it slowly but I was wrong he pushed it at once. It was hitting inside and I was cumming rapidly.
Some thing was happening inside my stomach. He was playing with my boobs creasing it biting it pinching my nipples I thought I was dead, it caused lot of pain. I shouted at him but he was smiling at me tears ran out of my eyes and I was crying.
Now he slowly started to pump me for more than half an hour and then he told that he was going to cum. I stood up and lay in the bed and he took all the cum in my face and boobs and he hugged me tight. He was young and ejaculated huge amount of semen.
I spread his cum on my body all over so that I now smelled of his sex.Now it was around 8.40 so he dressed up and was able to leave. As I know he is new to this City, a bachelor and searching for a job I tried to pay him some amount for his wonderful fuck
but he refused to take it. He said goodbye and then he went. This guy is having more than enough in every thing like his size, timing (30mins at least), giving pleasure for every woman and also self respected. He is now a good friend of mine.
Farheen Ka Blouse Or ChudaiMadam
employed as a tailor in a ladies garment stitching shop. We were known for our
tailoring and used to get a lot of customers. Work was good and I especially
enjoyed taking measurements of ladies. One of our regular customers was Farheen
madam. She used to get various types of garments like salwar, kamiz and blouse
stitched by us. She usually used to visit us at least once a month for new
clothes and on most of the occasions
I used to take her measurements. She was very particular about the fitting of
her clothes and therefore I had to be very
careful in measuring her. Farheen madam also was very particular when she came
for trying the clothes on before we did pucca stitching. She always would make
sure that the trial of her clothes was extensive and flawless before we did the
pucca stitching.
revolve around general topics such as the weather, people, politics etc.
Although the conversation was general, the closeness to her used to give me and
unusual pleasure. I at times used to linger on her body for a longer period of
time in measuring her. Sometimes I would slowly press her boobs with my fingers
while measuring. Also at times when she would come over for the fitting session,
I would rub my hand on her boobs, ass and stomach on the pretext of analysing
the fall and smoothness of the garment. If it was a dress with a collar, I would
get closer to her to get the collar straight and touch and rub my chest against
her firm and big boobs. At times I also got a glimpse of her boobs while doing
so and I used to get aroused. Her boobs were very smooth and silky. At times I
would also masturbate fantasizing about squeezing and pressing her sexy boobs.
One day Farheen madam came to the shop for getting a new red blouse
stitched. She wanted me to stitch a blouse to
suit the red saree she was wearing. She was looking great in the saree and
blouse. The saree was hugging her body and showed all the curves. Her blouse was
low cut, both from the front and back. I noticed that the saree she was
wearing was very thin and almost transparent. Inspite of her pallu, I could see
her smooth and sexy cleavage through it. When she would inhale, the top of her
boobs would be more visible through her pallu. I asked what was wrong with the
red blouse she was already wearing with the saree. She said'Yeah blouse loose
your old fashioned hair.' I asked her 'Madam kis tharh ka blouse stitch karna
hai?' 'Well fitting blouse' she replied. 'Let me see how loose this blouse is'
I said and went closer to her. all this time I was stealing glances at her sexy
cleavage and neck. As I got closer to her, I could smell an amazing and a kind
of arousing perfume. 'Madam kaunsa perfume hai, bahut achi smell aa rahi hai.'
She just smiled and came nearer to me so that I could check the blouse.
I came nearer and started to check the sleves first. Her arms were smooth like
malai and I was slowly rubbing my
finger on left arm with my right hand while touching the cloth. I rubbed my
finger on the cloth on the sleve of the blouse for a while enjoying the touch of
her arm. I could feel a tingle in my croch. 'Aap theek kaih rahin the madam,,
yeh sleves to
loose hain…is blouse ka back bhi dekhta hun. I said. I moved towards her back.
What a great ass she had. Farheen
madam was standing in front of me with her legs spread a little. This blouse was
low cut from the back. I could see
her chikni and spotless peeth. I started to stretch the back of the blouse to
see how loose it was. In the process I also was
rubbing her bare back…it felt very good to do that. The tingling in my crotch
was growing. I pulled the back of her
blouse a little more and quickly peeped inside. I could see her bra strap and
hooks. 'Kya gori your chikni peeth
hai…kaash main isko choom sakta your rub kar sakta.' I thought to myself while
rubbing my fingers on her sexy back. Farheen
madam shifted a little and I could see the round globes of her ass moving with
her saree. In addition to having sexy and
perfect mummay she also had a great ass. 'Peeche se bhi loose hai…your fitting
bhi acha nahin hai' I said. She nodded in
I then walked in front of her and said 'Madam pallu thora neeche karna
parega, blouse ko theek tarah se dekhna hai.'
She removed her pallu from her boobs…and what a site it was.Farheen madam ke
big mummay ka upari hissa was
totally visible. With the deep cut neck, and without the pallu on her boobs, she
was looking real sexy. I could see her
mummay going up and down. I got my face closer to her boobs on the pretext of
checking the fitting. I could see her boobs even more as I came nearer.
I was so near to her mummay that I could feel my breath bouncing off her mummay
back to my face now. 'Yeh to aage se bhi loose hai.' I said while pulling her
blouse a little in the front to see how loose it was from the front.
As I pulled the blouse, her boobs came up and I could see how chikna they were.
I wanted to put my tongue between both her boobs and lick them. This thought
gave me a bigger tingle on my semi erect lund.
'Madam, aapko to naya blouse silvana hi parega.' I said. 'To measurements le
lo.' she said.
I got my measuring tape out and stood in front of her. 'Mujhe Sleveless blouse
chahiye' she said. 'Theek hai…apne haath upar karna madam.' I said. She lifted
her hands and her sexy and big boobs also came up a little from her blouse. I
could again see more of her cleavage and chikne mummay. 'Kaash in boobs ko main
masal sakta.' I thought to myself as I put the tape around her back. While soing
so I got my face very near her mummay and could see the outline of her bra. I
got the tape in front again and made sure that my fingers where somewhat in
front of her nipples. I tightened the tape a little and asked 'Itna tight
chahiy?' 'Nahin…aur tight karo.' Farheen madam replied. I tightened the tape
more and now my fingers were touching her mummay. They felt soft and coushney.
'Ab theek hai?' I asked again. 'Nahin thora tight karo.' she said. I tightened
the tape around her more. I was nowo standing just about 3-4 inches away from
her and could feel her scented breath on my face. Mera lund your
khara ho raha tha…thank god I was wearing a baggy pant. Now my fingers were
totally on her soft boobs and pressing
them. I pressed my fingers a little more on her boobs on the pretext of
tightening the tape. I also moved my hands a little up and down and could feel
her mummay bouncing a little.
'Thora loose karo…yeh to bahut tight ho gaya.' Farheen madam said. I loosened
the tape a little. 'No…ab loose ho gaya.' she said. Maine is bar tape your
zyada tight kara.'Aahhh…itna nahin…dard ho raha hai. Farheen madam
said.'Sorry.' I apologized. 'Koi baat nahin…agar achi fitting chahiye to yeh
sab to karna hi parega.' she said smiling. While she was saying all this, I was
enjoying the feel of her boobs against my fingers and I was also moving my
fingers side to side to rub her big boobs. This was feeling great. Her soft
mummay were making my lund hard. 'Ek minute…main batati hun ki kitna tight
chahiye.' saying this she chaught my hands and started adjusting them to get the
right tightness. I was enjoying the brushing of my fingers against
her mummay while she was adjusting the tape. I was pressing my fingers more and
more to the soft big boobs and
also eying her cleavage, which was now even more visible. I could imagine what
her nange mummay would look
Finally she was satisfied with the measurement of her boobs. I wrote down the
measurement. 'Buttons back mein chahiye?' I
asked. 'Han…back mein.' she said. I went towards her back and started
measuring her. 'Deep cut back banana.' she said. I started measuring the height
of her back. My fingers were now rubbing against her exposed back while I
measured.My lund was fairly erect by now and the sight of her back was giving me
great pleasure. I was also occasionally rubbing my hands on her back below the
blouse on the excuse of measuring her back. She was shifting her position again
and I could see her round and sexy ass moving. I got the measurements of the
back of her blouse and again came in front of her. 'Madam aage se kitna deep
chahiye?' I asked. 'Is blouse se zyada.' she replied. I put one end of the tape
on the base of her neck and started stretching the tape down towards her mummay.
While doing this, I was rubbing my fingerson her bare and smooth chest. My face
was again very near her face and noticed the red lipstick on her very kissable
lips. My gaze went down to her neck. She was wearing a thin glod chain around
her neck. It was adding great sex appeal to her long and slender neck. I could
see her well formed bare collar bones. My fingers were travelling down
herchest and were getting nearer her cleavage. I got my hand further
down and now it was between both her boobs.
I stopped there and asked 'Itna deep?' 'Hmmm…thora your.' she replied. 'Ek do
hooks kholne parenge agar your deep karna hai.' I said. 'Theek hai.' she said
and opened one hook. I could see her cleavage and the top of her mummay even
more. I moved my hand further between her mummay while touching her boobs and
moving my hand side ot side to get a feel of the sides of both her mummay. 'Yeh
theek hai.' she said. Her body was now very close to mine . I was careful not to
touch her with my croch. My lund was totally erect in my pants and i really
wanted to chodo her badly. Anyways, I wrote down the measurements. 'Madam is
blouse ki fitting to niche se bhi theek nahin hai.' I said as I got one finger
of my right hand inside the blouse from the bottom. I could feel the bottom of
her of her left boob over the bra. Mera lund pant ke andar throb kar raha tha
and i could feel a drop of pre-cum escape my piss hole.
navel. Her gora and chikna stomach contrasted with the red colour of her
saree. I could see the curves of her bare waist. I took my finger out and
brushed my hand against her stomach and navel while getting it back. Her stomach
was flat and very fair. I wanted to touch her mummay again. 'Madam mera khyal
hai ki apki sides ka measurement bhi le lena chahiye…fitting your bhi achi
hogi.' I said. "theek hai.' she replied and raised her hands again. 'Madam sar
ke upar haath karo…ekdum straight.' I said. 'Measurement ekdum accurate hoga.'
She raised her hands straight over her head.
Her blouse also went up as she raised her hands. I went to her left side and
started stretching the tape from the middle of her back towards her left boob. I
was brushing every millimeter of her side with my fingers as they travelled
towards her boob. She was a little sweaty under her armpits and I was getting
very aroused by the aroma of body. My other hand reached her left boob and I
stopped stretching the tape as I reached the approximate position of her nipple.
Then I pressed my fingers against her boob so that the tape would not get loose.
As I pressed my fingers deeper into her boob I could feel the faint outline of
her nipple. Her blouse had travelled up as her hands were over her head. I
could see more of her exposed body, especially the lower part of her bra
cup and a little bit of her lower mumma.By this time my lund was making a tent
in front of my pants and I wanted to press and squeeze and lick her white and
big mummay very badly. The top of her mummay was also more visible as her hands
were up in the air. I could see a lot of her cleavage and top of her big boobs.
'Yeh mammay masalne your dabane mein kitna maza ayega.' I thought and got even
more horny.
I was now pressing my hand on her mumma and getting the tape tighter on her
side. I could also feel her nipple getting a little harder and was rubbing my
fingers against it. I could feel another drop of pre-cum on my now very erect
lund. 'Madam ek minute…mein abhi aya.' I said and went to the other room. I
had to adjust my lund in pants to avoid any embarrassment. I went to the other
room and got my hand inside my pant. I held my lund and pressed it against my
stomach so that the tent in my pants is no more visible. I also pumped my
lund a few times thinking of Farheen madams big and soft mummay, her cleavage,
her stomach before going back.
As I entered the room I saw Farheen madam bending down to take her
sandals off. I could see most of her boobs as her pallu was down. Her boobs were
big and round. They very fair and jiggled as she bend and moved to remove her
sandals. The sight of her mummay started getting me hot. They were the most
desirable set of boobs I had ever seen and wanted to squeeze them so hard that
they turn red. 'In mummon ko main itna dabana chata hun ki ye lal ho jaye.' I
thought. She noticed me eying her mummay and just smiled and stood up. I noticed
that she was also looking at my khara lund. She got her hands up again and I
started measuring her right side. I streached the tape again and rubbed my
fingers against the side of her right mumma…this time harder and with a
purpose. When my fingers reached the center of her boob I slowly pressed my hand
against her boob againand tried to feel her nipple. I could feel the nipple
getting hard and I brushed my finger against it while holding the tape. The
smell of the armpit was sweet and I was enjoying it. I pressed my hand against
her nipple and tightened the tape further. 'Madam agar ap chaho to main apke
chest ka bhi naap le loon.' 'Han le lo.' she said in somewhat a very meaningful
way. I got one end of the tape on the top edge of the front of her blouse and
the other end to the bottom edge.
'Kya aap is tape ko pakar sakti hain?' I asked. She held the tape from both the
ends. I started to rub my hand on the tape in order to smoothen the wrinkles of
the tape. I could feel her full boob with my hand as I did that. I cupped her
boob with my hand and adjusted it so that the tape was straight and did not
have any wrinkles. By this time I could feel her hardened nippel through the
blouse. I wondered if she was also aroused by all this. 'Bari garmi hai…mujhko
pyaas lag rahi hai…thora pani pila do.' she said. I got her a glass of cold
water. I was admiring her body, especially her firm and big boobs as she drank
the water. Some water also spilled out of her sexy lips and trickled down her
chin and chest. She took one end of her pallu and started wiping the trickling
water from her chin and chest. She put her hand inside her blouse to wip the
water that had trickled inside and in the process one more hook opened. When she
took her hand out, her moist boobs were looked very desirable and my lund
throbbed again.
'Kash main yeh paani apne hathon se saaf kar sakta your in boobs ko zor zor se
masal kar choos sakta.' I thought while getting even more horny.'Oh meri bra bhi
gili ho gayi.' she said. 'Apka ek or red blouse yahan par hai…usko pahan
lejiye.' I suggested. 'Han yeh theek rahega.' she said. I quickly brought the
red blouse and gave it to her. She started unhooking her blouse in front of me.
I realised that and said 'Mein bahar jata hun.' 'Nahin koi baat nahin…tum
yahan par hi rah sakte ho.' she
said and unhooked her last hook. She was wearing a very sexy red push up bra.
All of her big and hot mummay were almost visible. I could see the outline of
her big nipples through her bra. Then she unkooked her bra and took it off. I
did not want to miss this chance and walked nearer. My gaze was fixed on her
round and white boobs.Without saying a word I held both her mummay in both my
hands and gave them a gentle squeeze. Farheen madam looked at me as if expecting
it and smiled.'Ummmmm….' escaped her lips. I squeezed her mummay again…this
time a little harder. She threw her head back indicating that she liked it.
Her nipples were big and hard. Her boobs were very smooth, soft and round. I
caught the underside of both her boobs tugged them and pulled them towards me.
Meine uske mummon ko niche se apne haathon mein cup kar rakha tha or apni taraf
khinch raha tha. Ab meiin uske mummay thori our zor se dabane laga. 'Aahhh…'
came out of her mouth. 'Madam apke mummay jaise mummay maine kahin our nahin
dekhe hain.' I complemented her while pressing her mummay harder. 'Mujhe madam
mat kaho…Faruu kaho.' she said with unsteady breath. We were standing very
close and I started pressing and squeezing her mummay harder. They felt good and
hot in my hands. I was still holding her boobs from below and squeezing and
shaking them.Her boobs were hot and jiggling in my hands while I pressed them
harder. She cupped my hands with her hands and started pressing real hard,
indicating too me that she wanted her boobs to be pressed even more harder. I
got my hands over her mummay your zor zor is press karne laga. Meri unglion ke
imprints uske mummay par dikh rahe the. Her boobs were turning red. 'Ohhhh…mat
rukna…inko your dabao.' Faruu said. 'Main inko bahut zor se dabaunga…itna
zor se ki tumko bahut acha lagega.' I said and started to press her boobs very
very hard. Then I shifted my hands to the sides of her mummay and squeezed them
hard towards each other. I was rubbing both her boobs with each other very hard.
pressing the sides of her mummay. Her nipples were totally erect and hard now
and I got them between my thumb and finger and started pressing them.
'Ooohhhhh…' Faruu moaned 'Mere nipples ko our press karo.' she said. I
increased my pace of squeezing her nipples and also started to pull them towards
me. Her nipples had grown bigger and harder and I was squeezing them very hard
now. She was enjoying that. I was squeezing her nipples and at the same time
tugging them towards me. 'Mere mummay dabao…' she said. I released her nipples
and started pressing her boobs again…this time very hard…harder and harder.
I had cupped her mummay and was squeezing them hard while she was moaning. 'Mein
tunhare kapre utarna chahta hun.' I said. 'Tumhari nangi body dehkna chahta hun
our ek ek inch ko kiss our suck karna chahta hun.' and I started removing her
saree with one hand while pressing her boob very hard with the other. I started
kissing her on the lips and she responded with equal excitement. I was suckingn
her lower lip and she was sucking my upper lip. I had her saree off. Then I
pulled the string of her petticoat and it dropped on the ground. While doing all
this we were kissing passionately…now with our tongues inside each others
mouth and I was pressing her hot and sexy boob. She was in her panty and her
legs were very shapely and long. I got my other hand to her boob and started
pressing it
hard and tugging it towards me. We were kissing wildly and were very hot. I
started licking her cheeks and lips with my wet tongue…while she licked my
lips with her tongue. Then Ifocused on her neck and started licking
it…gettingit all wet with my tongue. I was still pressing her boobs very hard
andthey had turned red…which excited me even more.
Mein uski gardan apni garam tongue se chaat raha tha our tickle kar raha tha.
Uske mummay mere dabane se lal ho gaye the your mein unko zor zor se squeeze kar
raha tha. Meri tongue ab uske mummon ko lick kar rahi thi your mere haath uske
mummay daba rahe the. Uske mummay ekdum wet the your mein un wet mummon ko daba
raha tha. While pressing her boobs my mouth started travelling towards her
stomach.I was licking all of her stomach and especially her navel. My hands were
still pressing her boobs and she was moaning louder with excitement. After doing
this for 15-20 minutes I sat down between her legs and said 'Apni tangon ko
kholo…main tumhari choot bhi aise hi masalna chahata hun jaise maine tumhare
mummay masle.' She opened her legs wider and I now could smell the sweet aroma
of her choot. I got up a little and caught the elastic of her panty in my teeth
and started pulling it down. I was rubbing her legs and thighs while pulling her
panty down with my teeth. I panty fell on the floor. She was totally naked and
was very desirable and fuckable at this time. I gently cupped her choot with my
palm and started pressing it. Uski choot bahut gili thi our mera pura palm uski
choot juices se gila ho gaya
tha.I cupped her choot harder and started rubbing it.Usne apne legs your wide
kar diye. Ab main uski choot bahut tez and zur se mal raha tha. She was also
moving her pelvis and rubbing her choot against my palm. I opened her choot lips
with my fingers and started rubbing the insideo of her choot. 'Couch par chalte
hain.' I suggested.She sat on the couch and said 'Paihle mere mummay our
dabao…our mera doodh piyo.' I laid down on the couch and put my head on her
lap. Phit mein uske donoo mummay zor se press karne laga. 'Mmmmmm…ahhhh.'
Faruu was moaning as I pressed her mummay harder. While pressing them I was also
sucking on her big and hard nipples. She held her left mumma and put it in my
mouth. I was sucking her nipple like a baby…but very hard. She was thrusting
more and more of her mumma in my mouth and saying
'Your chooso…zor se please…your zor se…mera doodh piyo.' I was pressing
her right mumma hard and sucking on her left nipple even harder. Her right mumma
was again turning red.She was pressing her left boob while thrusting it deeper
in my mouth. My mouth was full of her mumma and I was sucking her mumma
hard…very hard and licking the nipple…nibbling it with my teeth. 'Mere boobs
your zor se dabao.' she said. I started pressing her boob very hard.I did the
sucking and pressing for the next 15 minutes and then got up and cupped her
choot with palm again. Her choot was dripping with juices and I started licking
it with my tongue. I wanted to lick every drop of her choot juices.Usne apni
choot apni fingers se your khol do your mein apni tongue se uski choot lick
karne laga. Her cunt juices tasted salty and sweet. She opened her choot lips
even more
and said 'Apni tongue meri choot mein dalo…jaldi…I wasn't you to tongue fuck
me.' I could see her cunt hole and dipped my whole tongue right inside it. Her
cunt was very wet and hot…I liked it. My head was going up and down…I
hardened my tongue and was thrusting it deep in her cunt. 'Meri clit rub karo.'
she said and guided my hand to her clit. I started rubbing her clit with my
finger while fucking her with my tongue. Her legs were wide open and my face
was all wet with her tasty choot juices. Then I got my tongue out of her choot
hole and started licking her choot lips. Her clit was swollen and pink. She
opened her choot with her hands and guided my tongue to her clit. My hands were
again pressing her boobs hard while my tongue was licking her clit and her pink
While I was pressing and sucking, she started to unbutton my shirt and
took it off. Then she got up and almost tore my
pant and took it off also. Now I was standing in front of her in just my
underwear. She tugged it in one motion and I was totally nanga. My lund sprang
out and was totally erect. It was bobbing up and down and my piss hole had
pre-cum on it. My lund had never gotten so erect earlier as it was now. every
vein of my lund were visible. My purplish pink cock head was totally swollen
and the foreskin had gone back, exposing the cock head. Faruu put my lund
against my stomach and started licking the back while pumping it with her
hand. 'Mera lund apni tongue se pura geela kar do…aaahhhhh…' I said moaning.
I could see her fingering her choot as she licked my lund. This was getting me
even more excited. My 7 inch lund was in heaven. Then she got up and started
pressing her mummay against my chest and started pressing her stomach against my
lund. I started kissing her and squeezing her mummay again. We were feeling
each others heat and were getting hotter. While I was pressing her
boobs, she was still finger fucking herself. I released one mumma and started
getting it to her choot. I put in a finger while her finger was in and we
started to finger fuck her together. Then I released her other mumma and goto my
hand on her round and sexy ass. I started rubbing my finger on her ass crack and
she opened her legs wider letting my fingers explore her ass further. We were
still pumping her choot with our fingers. I got to her side and started rubbing
my other hand inside her ass crack. I rubbed some choot juice from her choot on
her ass and slowly started probing her asshole with my finger. It was tight and
I started rubbing it with her choot juices to get it to relax.
After 5 minutes her asshole relaxed and started to open up to the probing of my
fingers. I rubbed more choot juice on her asshole and gently inserted one finger
in her asshole. Our fingers were still pumping h er choot. I inserted my finger
deeper into her asshole.'Ohhhhhh…dhere se…' she moaned between thrusts of
our fingers in her choot. I was standing on her side and
started licking the side of her mummay. 'Aahhhhh….mere mummay chuso.' she
moaned. Now my finger was totally inside
her asshole and I started fucking her ass with my finger. I was finger fucking
her choot as well as ass. Her choot was very very wet and her choot juices were
flowing on her thighs. She was holding my lund with her other hand and pumping
it hard. I finger fucked her ass for 10-15 minutes and then rubbed more choot
juice on it. Then I inserted the second finger in her asshole.
'Aarrrgggghhhh…' she moaned and her asshole accomodated my second finger. Our
choot and asshole pumping was on full throttle and her boobs were jumping up and
down with each thrust. 'I am going to cum.' Faruu said. 'Wait, I want to drink
your cum.' I said and kneeled between her wide open legs and started sucking her
choot…licking her clit…nibbling her choot lips wildly. I quickly thrust
one finger back in her asshole started pumping it while sucking her choot.
'Ooohhhh….I am cumming…' she shrieked and started to wet my mouth and face
with her cum. I was desperately licking and drinking her cum and she was cumming
harder. She shuddered as she came and pulled my head towards her choot. While I
was licking off her cum from her choot, I was still pumping her asshole with my
She sat down on the couch and spread her legs wide. Then she opened her
choot with both her hands and asked 'Want this?' 'Ohhh…yesssss.' I said. She
held her choot open with one hand and and held my lund with the other. Then she
pumped my lund a little and guided it into her choot. With one big thrust I put
my lund right the the end in her choot. 'Ohhhh…fill my choot with your lund.'
she cried with pleasure. I started pumping fast as I wanted to fuck her real
bad. My lund could feel her hot and wet choot. I started pumping hard and fast.
Her boobs were bouncing with each thrust. While fucking her choot, I caught her
mummay and started pressing as hard as I was chodoing her. 'Aur zor is dhakka
do.' she wanted me to pump her choot harder with my lund. I started pumping
even harder and faster while pressing her mummay and making them red again. We
were fucking wildly. 'Aaaarrrggggghhhh….' both of us were moaning. We fucked
for 10 minutes and then I took my lund out of her choot. 'I want to ass fuck
you.' I said. She got up and turned her ass towards me. She bend down on the
couch and
opened her legs wider. I rubbed her asshole again with her choot juices and
slowly put a finger in to probe if I could put my lund inside easily. Her
asshole accomodated my finger easily. Then I wet my second finger and put it
inside.She was enjoying the finger fuck. I quickly took my fingers out of her
asshole and gently started probing her asshole with my cock head. I spread her
ass cheeks wider and started to put my lund inside her asshole.
'Aahhhhhh….dhire se….your lund is thick for my asshole.' she said. I stopped
thrusting lu lund inside her asshole and wanted to get it out.
'Nahin…apne lund ko andar dalo…I am licking it…thora dard hoga phir maza
ayga.' she said between her heavy breathing. I
again started gettin gmy lund deeper in her asshole.'Ohhhhh…ummmmmm…han aur
andar dalo…par dhere se…be careful in the first fer thrusts.' she said. Now
my cock was totally inside her asshole and I started pumping slowly and
gently.'Ab dard nahin ho raha hai…maza aa raha hai…thora zor se karo.' she
said. I started pumping her asshole a little harder. Her asshole was squeeziing
my cock harder than her choot and I knew I would not last for very long at this
rate. I started pumping harder and leaned on her back to press her bobbing
mummay. While pumping her asshole with my lund, I cupped both her mummay and
started pressing them real hard. She was moaning with pleasure and meeting my
each thrust with the same force. 'Zor se chodo mujhe…' she said wildly 'Mere
mummay aur zor se dabao…' We started fucking wildly. All this time she was
also finger fucking herself and I wished that we came together.
'Aaaahhhhh….mein jharne wali hun….meri choot bahut gili hai.' she said.
'Ruko…mujhe bhi tunhare saath jharna hai.' I said and started pumping my lund
harder in her choot while pressing her mummay vert hard. 'Ueeeee main
jahrne wali hun…ab nahin ruk sakti…' she cried. I was also about to
cum…but wanted to cum on her big and hot mummay and on her face. So I let her
cum while fiercely pumping her asshole. Faruu started shuddering and cumming.
'Ohhh mein jharrahe hun…aur zor se dhakka do…' she said. I knew that I was
also going to cum soon and started pumping her asshole with big thrusts. She was
still fingerfuckingn herself and said 'I wasnt to cum once again…this time
with you.' I tool my lund out of her asshole and we started pumping each other.
My fingers were playing fiercely with her swollen pink clit and choot while she
was busy pimping my cock with her hand. 'Cum with me baby…' she moaned as she
started to cum again. These words really got me off and I quickly stood up in
front of her. She was finger fucking herself with one hand and pumping my hard
cock with the other. 'Aaaaaaahhhhhhh….' both of us yelled in extacy. We were
cumming together. Faruu
was fingering her choot and pumping my cock simultaneously. I started to cum
and she started pumping her chootand lund harder. My lund started throwing
threads of cum on her face. She held her both her boobs with her hands and
started getting my cum on them. I was now pumping my cock and moaning as I came.
Spurts of my cum were landing on her mummay and face. 'Mere mummon koo apne cum
se geela kar do.' she said and took my cock in her hand and pumped it even more.
I could only manage a couple of more squirts of cum. She looked at me and rubbed
my cum all over her hot mummay…over her big and erect nipples. Then she took
my lund in her hand and put it iin her mouth and licked it dry.I sat on the
floor facing her wide open legs and started sucking her wet choot again. I
wanted to reciprocate to her in the same way that she gave the thrill of
cumming. 'Nahin aur nahin…I am totally exhausted.' she protested…but feebly.
I pretended not to hear her and continued to lick and suck her choot.
'Faruu I want you to cum once again…cum for me please.' I said. By this time
she was hot again and started moaning while I sucked, kissed, licked, nibbled
her choot. Uskii choot phir se bahut gili ho gaye thi aur woh kah rahi thi 'Suck
me harder…make me cum once more…I want to cum again on in mouth…on your
face…ohhhh…..please mujhe jharna hai…tumhare munh mein…meri choot aur
zor se chato… ungli se chudai karo…dono unglian dalo…. han… aur
zorse…chooso…. uuggghhhhh…. aahhhhh…..' she was crying out loud. Doing
all this my lund was hard again and I was stroking it with one hand while eating
her wet and tasty choot. My tongue was working fast and hard in her choot. She
was rubbing her clit very hard and thrusting her choot further in my mouth. She
had her clit between her thumb and finger and was squzeeing it hard and fast. I
was licking her choot and fucking her choot hole with my tongue and fingers
while pumping my cock with the other hand. 'Ohhhh I am going to cum.' she moaned
and said. I got up and quickly thrust my hard and erect lund in her choot and
started pumping her fast. with the other hand I started rubbing her clit and
started squeezing it hard…vert hard…as hard as my thrusts in her choot.
'Yes…yess….yesss….aahhhhh….fuck me harder…I am cumming.' she yelled
and started cumming and thrusting her choot to my lund harder and harder. She
was in extacy and shuddering while cumming. She was holding me tightly with her
hands and cumming. I could feel her hot choot juices on my cock head…I could
feel the juices flowing all over my lund. I wanted her to cum more and started
rubbing her clit harder and she shuddered with pleasure once again. I was
pumping her choot with my lund while she was cumming and shuddering. She
continued to cum and shudder and moan. I was going to cum too and took my lund
out of her choot. She took my lund in her hand and started pumping it
hard.'Aaarrgggg….mein jharne wala hun.' I groaned and started to cum once
This time she wanted my cum inside her mouth and took my lund in her mouth. I
started cumming in her mouth and she drank all my cum happily.

Maps and Monsters in Medieval England
Prices & shipping based on shipping country
Book Description
This study centers on issues of marginality and monstrosity in medieval England. In the middle ages, geography was viewed as divinely ordered, so Britain's location at the periphery of the inhabitable world caused anxiety among its inhabitants. Far from the world's holy center, the geographic margins were considered monstrous. Medieval geography, for centuries scorned as crude, is now the subject of several careful studies. Monsters have likewise been the subject of recent attention in the growing field of "monster studies," though few works situate these creatures firmly in their specific historical contexts. This book sits at the crossroads of these two discourses (geography and monstrosity), treated separately in the established scholarship but inseparable in the minds of medieval authors and artists.

This is the cutest and potentially most useful Alexa-powered gadget. The Echo Spot is perfect for the bedroom but, thanks to its small screen, can double as a living room or kitchen tool, answering queries, blaring alarms, or chatting with family and friends.
Turn up the bass: Amazon Echo Sub Bundle with 2 Echo Plus (2nd Gen)
For $330, you're not going to find a better-sounding stereo + sub solution than this. Even better, the Amazon Echo Plus is also an Alexa conduit (obviously) and a smart home hub. It's the best of all worlds. Oh, and the Sub? It can jam.

If there's a piece of smart home tech I can recommend, it's the Nest Hello Doorbell. Being able to answer the door from anywhere in the world is magical enough, but having clear-as-day (or night) video quality from my front door whenever I want it is even better. Plus it integrates with all of Nest's other excellent products. Well worth the money.

67's 1, IceDogs 0
Kody Clark played the hero for a second consecutive night and third straight game — and in eerily similar fashion.

Hauntingly familiar: Clark plays 67's OT hero for a third straight game Back to video
Clark gave the Ottawa 67's a 1-0 Ontario Hockey League road win over the Niagara IceDogs on Saturday night when he scored at 4:55 of overtime.
That dramatic goal came almost exactly 24 hours after he'd scored at 4:35 of overtime to give the 67's a 2-1 win over the Oshawa Generals at TD Place arena.
And the Clark run gets stranger still — Halloween is right around the corner, after all — if one looks back to last Sunday in Sault Ste. Marie when he started the current three-game winning streak with an OT goal at 3:08 to defeat the Greyhounds 5-4.
Perhaps being 18 agrees with Clark. Is this a good time to mention his birthday was just over a week ago — on Friday the 13th?
Putting the focus back on hockey and not silly superstition, Ottawa goalie Olivier Tremblay earned the first-star honours on Saturday night, stopping all 29 shots he faced, while Niagara's Stephen Dhillon was almost as good, letting in only the last of the 25 shots fired at him.
The 67's finish with a 2 p.m. start in Hamilton on Sunday.
