The man before her stood above all others as midnight hair wa...
In a couple of weeks I'm running a large party with a group of friends. The organisation side of things is hotting up and there is a flurry of activity in my social circle with all our friends getting ready for the party. On Saturday just past, my wife Samantha decided to go out shopping with her friend Erica to buy clothes for the party. The party is nomina...
Author's Note: Remember those non-sexy chapters I mentioned earlier on? These are them. CW for more mentions of non-con, though nothing will ever be shown in graphic detail in this series.

The second time was when my daughter just happened to walk into the airport with one of the most stunning girls I had ever seen in my life. "Daddy!" my daughter Erica squealed as she ran tow...
