The Fisherman & The Mermaid-Chap 11 & 12

CHAPTER 11
We went boating the following day, taking a lunch from the deli along with some chairs, umbrella, blanket, and a big rubber tire tube. It was Labor Day Weekendā€”the last big weekend of the summer, although Iā€™ve always enjoyed the later weekends in Septemberā€”and we planned to enjoy it to the max. I drove the boat out of the harbor, turned left, but grounded it around half way to Craneā€™s Neck. The beach there is deserted. Thereā€™s a big marsh behind the beach and no homes for almost a mile. A small creek leads to the marsh. At high tide the water rushes in and as it ebbs the water rushes out. Itā€™s a blast riding a tube either way, especially because the bottom is only inches below the surface and itā€™s covered with thousands of rounded stones. Bouncing your butt is great fun as you rush by at twenty miles an hour.
I led Marta to the creek, sitting her in the tube a foot or two before the rapidly moving creek began. Marta looked as if she had a question. ā€œJust keep your hands, feet, and butt up and enjoy. Iā€™ll catch up with you inside.ā€ I gave her a push before she could chicken out. She moved away so fast I couldnā€™t keep up even though I was sprinting up the beach. When I crossed the crest of the beach I found Marta in a tiny pool laughing like crazy. ā€œHow on earth did you ever find this? Itā€™s hilarious.ā€ I pulled her up as we walked back to the Sound, the tube on my shoulder. I explained how as boys Jimmy and I had roamed all up and down these beaches. It was just a matter time before we stumbled over the marsh. Our first excursions in the stream were done without a tube until we went home all black and blue. We had to promise to use a tube or inflatable raft if we ever came back here again; we came often.
Marta rode several times before we decided a rest was in order. I set up the chairs and umbrella; Marta carried the cooler and towels. We sat on the beach and relaxedā€”not a soul as far as one could see with the exception of the occasional boat that passed by. It was almost a half hour before Marta noticed how truly alone we were. Thatā€™s when she lost the top of her suitā€¦and the bottom. I was lost in a book when I heard an ā€œAhem.ā€ I looked up astonished. ā€œLotion me?ā€ She spun around seductively, teasing me with her body.
ā€œDid you want lotion from the bottle or my special brew from my special personal container?ā€
ā€œTell you whatā€”letā€™s use the special lotion on my inside and the bottle lotion on my outside. How does that sound?ā€ When I nodded she continued, ā€œLetā€™s do the inside first, OK?ā€ She pulled me up and my suit down before sitting on the blanket and extending her hand to me. I lay next to her in the shade of the umbrella, pulling her soft supple body to mine. We kissed, gently at first as our passion grew. In minutes we were all over each otherā€”we couldnā€™t wait to coupleā€¦to become one. I moved over Marta, spreading her legs as I settled between them.
I placed my head at the junction of those long shapely legs, stuck out my tongue and lickedā€¦and lickedā€¦and licked. I enjoyed watching Marta squirm under my ministrations. She almost jumped when I pushed my tongue into her tunnel, rubbing gently against her ultra sensitive G-spot. ā€œPeter,ā€ she groaned, ā€œI need you in meā€¦please.ā€
I leapt forward, kissing her tender lips with mine as I thrust my hard cock running with pre-cum into her waiting canal. Marta showed her appreciation by wrapping her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist. We were engaged in a dance of love and lust, one in which we wiggled and writhed together for what seemed like an hour but was really only minutes until Marta reactedā€”clamping her thighs around me as she screamed non-stop for almost a minute. At the end she cameā€”shaking, shuddering until she collapsed beneath me drained and covered in a sheet of sweat. I pumped her four more times until I spread my lotion over her womb and vaginal walls. It leaked from her pussy and I watched amazed as she rubbed it into her abdomen and stomach. She lolled on the blanket, closed her eyes and fell asleep. I covered her with a towel to keep the sun from her delicate skin.
We went fishing the following day, rushing the blackfish season just a bit. Fall fishing for blacks is different than in the spring when the preferred bait is sandworms or bloodworms, although clams are sometimes successful, too. In the fall there is only one baitā€”green crabs. Marta was comical when she first saw the crabs in a plain brown paper bag. I dumped them into an old plastic bucket and covered them with a damp towel. I reached in and grabbed a big one, flipped it over onto its back and cut down the middle. I quartered the crab, removed the legs tossing them overboard and showed Marta how to run the hook through the leg holes. She looked at the big chunk of crab and wondered, ā€œHow can a fish get that huge thing into its mouth?ā€
ā€œI donā€™t know, but it does. This is the best bait, by far. Just try it.ā€ Marta shook her head as she lowered her hook into the water. After twenty minutes she had yet to get a bite. She pulled her bait in and I changed it. This time she got a nibbleā€”just a little oneā€”but that was followed by a strong bite, one that almost tore her expensive rod and reel from her hands. Marta raised her rod and set the hook, cranked the handle and brought her first black of the fall to the boat. Even after I had netted it she commented, ā€œI still donā€™t understand itā€”thereā€™s no way this fish can get that big piece of crab into its mouth.ā€ Then she put on a new piece and went back to work.
On Tuesday I went back to work, spending the morning in a series of meaningless meetings. I had arranged for Marta to meet me for lunch. Tony drove her to school where we joined some of my fellow teachers at a fine restaurant that just happened to serve an outstanding burger even though it wasnā€™t on the menu. Marta told me that she had been given a new projectā€”modernizing a logo for a well established Fortune 500 company. It would be a challenge and would keep her busy for weeks. Marta explained that she had done this before and that she usually created at least six logos to submit to the company. She stayed with me all afternoon helping me set up my classroom for the opening tomorrow.
We still made love three times a day trying to get her pregnant. The only problem was that I was wearing down. As much as I loved Marta there were physical limits that even I couldnā€™t break. I woke up in the morning, made love, grabbed a quick shower and drove to work, stopping for coffee and a donut on the way. This all changed one Thursday in early October. I hurried home to do my duty, finding three home pregnancy tests on the kitchen counter. They all said, ā€œYes.ā€
I almost fainted from the combined joy and relief. Marta told me she had made an appointment with her gynecologist for the following Friday. It was late so I could go with her. We agreed to say nothing until we knew it was official.
I had been uneasy about Marta being home by herself. With the threats against her life eliminated there was no longer any reason for Tony to be here. I made a suggestion to Marta. I had a student last year whose dad, Russ Sullivan, trained guard dogs. He and I had spoken several times while his daughter Amber was my student and he liked me. Amber had a wonderful experience as my student, blossoming both intellectually and socially. I asked if it were possible for a dog to be both a family pet and a guard dog. ā€œItā€™s not only possible, thatā€™s the preferred way. When a dog feels he/she is part of a family thereā€™s a natural tendency to be protective. A trained dog is just as loving, but even more protective.ā€
The following afternoon I took Marta to meet Sara, a nine month old spayed female German Shepherd. She was a beautiful dog; she and Marta hit it off immediately. We made arrangements to come back over the weekend for mutual training as Russ transferred the dominant human in Saraā€™s life from himself to Marta and me. We took Sara home Sunday afternoon; she was a bargain at $2,500. I walked her around the perimeter of the yard with her at ā€œheel.ā€ We did it again later; I walked and she followed. She stayed within the confines of the yard as Russ had promised she would. I felt much better when I went to work Monday knowing that Marta had not only a companion, but a protector, as well.
CHAPTER 12
We had team teaching in my schoolā€”four teachers (English, Math, Social Studies, and Science) all sharing the same studentsā€”and this year I had a new member, a Math teacher named Paul DeVito. He was younger than me by a few years. Over the first three weeks of school I learned he was an excellent teacher and a great guy. I invited him to a cookout the last weekend of September. ā€œCome at two. Weā€™ll watch football and drink some beer before dinner. I have someone I want you to meet.ā€
ā€œPlease, Pete, donā€™t tell me youā€™re fixing me up! Iā€™m OK, honest.ā€
ā€œYeah, right, thatā€™s why you go home and work every afternoonā€¦every eveningā€¦and all weekend. Youā€™re new to the area and you donā€™t know a soul. I have just the person for youā€”she has a great personality.ā€
ā€œOh no! Please, spare me! The last time someone did me a favor like that their dog was better looking.ā€
ā€œWell, Celia is my wifeā€™s best friend. Sheā€™s gorgeous, sexy, fun, and Iā€™ve known her all her life. Sheā€™s like a sister to me. I think youā€™ll be perfect together, besides the worst thing thatā€™ll happen is youā€™ll get a decent meal for a change.ā€
ā€œOK, but if sheā€™s a dog Iā€™m never talking to you again.ā€ I laughed all the way to my next class. I told Marta about my plan and she approved immediately. She called Celia, inviting her, but not telling her about Paul. I also called Jimmy and Andrea, inviting them. Saturday Marta and I rose early, cleaned the house and prepped the ribeyes I planned to grill for dinner. Jimmy and Andrea arrived first, followed about ten minutes later by Paul. Celia was lastā€”she was almost always lateā€”so Paul got a good look at her as she walked through the door. I could see that he was surprised. I introduced them to each other, getting the expected reaction from Celia. She pulled me into the kitchen. ā€œYouā€™re fixing me up? Me? Do I look like I need fixing up?ā€
ā€œNo, Celia, but Paul is a great guy and heā€™s new in town so he knows nobody. Why not be nice to him and give him a chance? He works with me and heā€™s a wonderful teacher. Heā€™s smart and funny, but heā€™s a bit shy. Just give him a chanceā€¦do it for meā€¦please.ā€ Celia shot some daggers at me but turned to the living room, smiled and sat next to Paul, engaging him in conversation. Twenty minutes later they were still talking. At halftime they walked outside, taking a couple of beers with them. The third quarter was almost over when I checked on them again. They were walking the back yard and Sara was keeping them company, playfully nipping at Celiaā€™s shoes from time to time. I saw Celia make the first move as she reached for Paulā€™s hand. He took it as they continued to walk. I returned to the game.
At 4:30 Marta brought out some hors dā€™oeuvres. I called outside, but Celia told me they were OK. At 5:30 I started the grill and cooked the steaks by six. We all talked over dinner and later played some silly board games. Jimmy and Andrea left at nine. Celia pulled Paul up from the couch saying, ā€œWe have to go, too. Thanks for a great time.ā€ Paul looked like a deer caught in the headlights.
I saw Paul first thing Monday morning. ā€œThat Celia is some woman. She came home with me and we fucked all night, but Sunday morning she made me get up and go to Mass with her. Then we went back home and fucked all day. What an incredible woman!ā€ I felt great that they had gotten along so well. Now it was up to them to see where it went. I wondered what Paul would think when he learned that her father was head of the Long Island mob.
That moment came a few weeks later when he came running into my classroom during our planning period. ā€œOmigodā€¦omigodā€¦youā€¦youā€¦youā€™ve killed me. Her father is going to kill me. When he finds out Iā€™ve been fucking her Iā€™ll be dead. Thanks a lot, buddy.ā€
ā€œRelax, Paul nobodyā€™s going to kill you. I assure you Papa already knows. For one thing he knows Celia. He knows Celia can be wild and he knows she has slept around in the past. I promise you he knew that first night when she didnā€™t come home. Are you dead yet? Of course not, so stop worrying. Trust meā€¦heā€™s much more interested in marrying her off and getting her out of the house. As long as your intentions are honorable youā€™ve got nothing to worry about.ā€
ā€œOh, yeah? She invited me to dinner Sundayā€¦with her family. What am I going to do?ā€
ā€œDoā€¦nothingā€”just go and enjoy the meal and the company. Jimmy and Andrea will be thereā€”you already know themā€”and so will Marta and I so youā€™ll know almost everybody. Youā€™ll love Mama and, frankly, youā€™ll love Papa, too. Just relax and be yourself. Celia obviously likes you a lotā€”sheā€™s never invited anyone to dinner before.ā€
ā€œI hope youā€™re right. Iā€™m too young to go on the lam.ā€
I made arrangements to pick Paul up and drive him to the Pelligrini estate. We stopped at the gate as Tony greeted us, ā€œHi, Peteā€¦Marta, so I guess this is Paul, eh?ā€ I nodded as Paul smiled nervously. ā€œYeah, youā€™re one lucky dude hooking up with Celia. Man, she is one hotā€¦oh, sorry, Marta.ā€ He opened the gate and we drove up to the house. The family was there to greet us. Celia ran to the truck, pulling Paul to her and greeting him with a passionate kiss. I saw Paul cringe.
Celia led Paul to the head of the line, introducing him to Papa and Mama. Papa extended his hand; Mama hugged him. I could see Paul relax when he shook hands with Jimmy and kissed Andrea. Marta and I greeted everyone next; I patted Paul on the back as we walked together into the house. Once he had a chance to relax everyone got to meet and know the real Paul; he was witty and sensitive. He treated Celia with the ultimate respect. Nobody reacted at all when Celia sat in his lap, wrapping her arm around his neck.
Dinner was the usual ā€œordeal.ā€ Fortunately, Marta and I had warned him what to expect so he paced himself throughout the meal. As usual, the women helped Mama clean up and serve the dessert. Marta distributed the cannoli, giving me a kiss instead. We laughed our way through the rest of the evening until it was time to go. I went to round up Paul, but Celia headed me off, ā€œWeā€™ll be taking my car, Petey and thanks. I hate getting fixed upā€¦usually, but not this time. You were right. He is wonderful.ā€
ā€œThatā€™s funny,ā€ I whispered in her ear as I leaned down to kiss her cheek, ā€œthatā€™s exactly what I told him about you.ā€ She kissed me back and the four of us took our leave.
We were back at Casa Pellegrini at Thanksgiving, seated around the huge table. The Pellegrini tradition is to tell everyone what you are thankful for before eating. This is usually just a sentence or two, but this year it seemed to go on forever. Celia went first; ā€œIā€™m really thankful that Iā€™ve finally met someone I can love and trust. Despite my initial misgivings Iā€™m thankful that my ā€˜brotherā€™ Petey had the sense to convince me to give Paul a chance. Thanks, Petey!ā€
Paul went next: ā€œIā€™m also thankful for Peteā€™s intervention in my life. Here I was minding my own business as a happy bachelor and nowā€¦. Uh oh, I think I just goofed.ā€ Celia came to his rescue by kissing him and showing everyone the ring she had been hiding up to now. ā€œOK,ā€ Paul continued,ā€ I’m especially thankful for Celia. As you can see Iā€™ve asked her to marry me and, for some reason I canā€™t fathom, sheā€™s said ā€˜yes.ā€™ā€ Everyone rose to congratulate the couple. I could see a huge smile on Papaā€™s face as he shook Paulā€™s hand.
Next was me: ā€œIā€™m thankful that fate brought me to Marta, that I was able to save and protect her. More than that, Iā€™m especially thankful that she loves me enough to want to spend all her days with me. I also want to thank all of you for your help and support through our ordeal.ā€ There was polite applause when I finished.
Marta was last. ā€œI think everyone here knows what Iā€™m thankful forā€¦being alive and rescued by the most wonderful man Iā€™ve ever met. Iā€™m thankful for all the help everyone in this family has given me. Iā€™m thankful that I have a real familyā€”my own was nothing like this. And, finally, Iā€™m thankful that I amā€¦PREGNANT!ā€
Again everyone was up to congratulate us with kisses and back slaps. It was almost five minutes before everyone was seated again. Marta continued, ā€œIā€™m not quite done yet. Iā€™d like to ask Celia if she would be our childā€™s godmother and Jimmy if heā€™d be the godfather.ā€
Both readily agreed before Jimmy spoke, ā€œIā€™m thankful we can eat now.ā€
Paul and Celia were married just before Easter; Celia was three months pregnant at the time. Marta had an uneventful pregnancy, sharing her most intimate moments withā€¦Saraā€”our dog. The school year was almost over when the principalā€™s secretary came to my classroom door. ā€œItā€™s time,ā€ she told me, ā€œsomeone named Celiaā€”is that Mr. DeVitoā€™s wife?ā€ I nodded nervously. ā€œShe called to say Martaā€™s on her way to the hospital.ā€ I ran out as fast as I could. I jumped into my car and drove. The trip was a blurā€”I remember nothing of itā€”until I reached the hospital. Then I couldnā€™t find a parking place. Finally, I ran in, got directions to the right area. A nurse helped me into a gown, cap, and booties. I felt silly, but Marta was thrilled to see me. I kissed Celia and then Marta. I held her hand through the entire birth. It was incredible. Six hours later I was the father of a beautiful baby girl. I was never happier as I hugged Marta and kissed her, telling her for the thousandth time, at leastā€”ā€œI love you.ā€
The End
NOTE: While this is a work of fiction all the geographical descriptions are real and based on my own experiences. Likewise, all the fishing information is also as I have lived it. Unfortunately, Marta is merely a figment of my imagination.

Love Is In The Air

This is the best sex story I have written. I believe females will enjoy reading it more. Let me know what you think c:

Fact or Fiction PT. 2

When I opened my eyes again, I was not in the bathroom. I could hear music playing and it sounded like it was coming from the floor beneath me. I was laying on a sofa, in an office… NAKED.
The feel of the black leather under my ass was soft and a little wet. I then realized that Keith had his face buried in my crotch. His tongue was lapping at my clit softly and slowly. The bouncer… I found out later that his name was Dante… he was sucking on my left nipple and stroking his beautiful dick.
The feeling of waking up to all this made me want to cum instantly. The excitement came over me so fast, they didn’t know I was awake until I started grinding my pussy into Keith’s face and grabbing for Dante’s dick. I wanted his cock in my mouth so that I could cum. Dante stands and puts his dick into my eager mouth. I sucked his entire 8 inches into the back of my throat just as I climaxed all over Keith’s face.
I tried to scream but of course, my mouth was full. Dante straddled my chest and held me by the sides of my face. He started fucking my face slowly at first and steadily gained momentum. He was caressing my face and telling me what a whore I looked like with his dick sliding in and out of my mouth. Oddly enough that just made my pussy even wetter. Tears were streaming into my ears from gagging on that beautiful cock in my mouth.
When he took his dick out of my mouth and started rubbing it over my face, I had a mini orgasm. He started stroking his dick and told me lick his balls. Just as my tongue touched Dante’s ball sac, Keith stuck two fingers into my pussy. That shit felt so good. I licked Dante’s balls, taking each sac into my mouth individually and collectively. He was still calling me a slut and a whore, asking if I wanted to get fucked by strange men since I was in the men’s room.
Did I? Was I the whore he was calling me? It didn’t bother me at that moment. It just made me want his dick back in my mouth, fucking my face. When I asked him to fuck my face again, he groaned loudly and told me to open my mouth wide. When I did, he fucked my open mouth so hard I almost hurled after the fifth or sixth thrust. I was able to supress it by closing my mouth around him, swirling my tongue around his dick head to make him slow down.
The whole time, Keith has his fingers in my pussy making me hot as hell. He lifts my legs and Dante reaches behind to grab them while still straddling my chest. Still getting my mouth fucked, I can feel Keith rubbing the head of his dick on my clit and between my very wet pussy lips. Steadying himself on the back of the sofa, he leans to one side and slams into my pussy. He tried to get all 9 inches into me in the first shot. It didn’t happen.
He tried again and I thought I would die but the dick in my mouth was a pleasant distraction from the havoc Keith was creating in my pussy. It was pain and pleasure at the same time. Having two dicks in two holes… I guess I was a whore and a slut.
In my head I just kept begging them, “Fuck this slut!! Fuck this whore!!” I didn’t want them to stop. I was no longer drunk so I couldn’t blame it on the alcohol. I was loving every minute of it. Keith drilling his 9 inches into my pussy and Dante fucking my mouth with his 8 inches was making me feel like an animal.
I wanted to be on all fours and tried to get Dante’s dick out of my mouth for a few seconds but he must have liked the feel of my wet mouth too much because he let go of one of my legs to grab the back of my neck & started fucking my face even harder. I placed my hands on his stomach to get his attention… That worked.
I got on all fours facing the sofa and pressed my face against the floor with my ass in the air. I shook my ass as an open invitation to the first taker.
Dante was the first taker. He knelt behind me and slapped my right ass cheek hard enough to leave prints. I flinched from surprise but since I like to be spanked, I shook my ass again hoping it would inspire him to do it again. He obliged by smacking my left ass cheek, but not as hard as the first time.
Keith sat on the sofa in front of me and started stroking his beautiful dick. I raised my face off the floor to eye level with his balls. I was wondering how I was going to fit this ‘baby arm’ in my mouth. I figured it would be fun to try even if I couldn’t get it all in.
While Dante is smacking my ass and watching it jiggle, I started licking my way up Keith’s dick. Starting from his balls and up the middle, leaving a nice wet trail, making sure he could feel my tounge ring. Purposely avoiding the head, i started down the left side, stopping at his balls to lick them gently. Up the right side to find pre-cum waiting for me. It tasted a little salty but not too bad.
As I am swirling my tongue around the head of his dick, I can feel Dante spreading my ass cheeks as he strarts to lick me, very slowly, from my clit to my asshole. OMG!!! THAT SHIT FELT SO GOOD!!! I pushed my ass back into his face in hopes he would do it again. He didn’t disappoint me. WOW!!! This time it made me open my mouth as wide as possible in an attempt to get most, if not all, of the dick before me into my mouth.
I went down as far as I could but that still left at least 2 inches unexplored. I had my work cut out for me. The tongue between my legs was driving me crazy. It didn’t help when he started tongue fucking my ass. This is when I found out that the hornier I get the more greedy I get. I was able to get another inch in… but I couln’t breathe. His dick was in my throat and I could not have been happier. Apparently, Keith was pleased with my performance. He was making all kinds of noises and cussing up a storm.
When I let go, there were tears streaming down my face, I had a mouth full of spit and I was gasping for air. My greedy ass just couldn’t wait to have my mouth fucked again. Keith sat forward on the couch with his legs on either side of me, placed one hand under my chin to feel my throat when it opens for his dick and the other in my hair to keep it out of the way. As he fucks my face at his leisure, I use both hands to spread my ass cheeks further for Dante. I thought he would continue tongue fucking me but I felt the head of his dick at my vagina.
The thought of having two dicks in me again was almost too much to a bare. Dante lets go of his dick and grabs me by my fore-arms, pressing my wrists together. When he slides into my sopping wet pussy, I moan around Keith’s dick.
“Damn!! Your pussy is wet as hell!!”
“I was thinking the same thing when I was fucking her earlier” Keith answers. “Make a nigga want to live in that shit!”
Now they are both pistoning into me from both ends. They keep up a steady pace for a good ten minutes and my arms are starting to hurt. Thankfully, Dante lets go of them and I am able to support my weight on my hands.
Keith lets go of my hair and I turn my head to the side to try for that last inch. He pushed forward and holds his dick in my throat for about thirty seconds, cussing, enjoying the contractions of my throat. He takes his dick out of my mouth long enough for me to draw breath and does it again. This time Dante, with his dick in my pussy, sticks his index and middle fingers in my ass. I felt crossed eyed for a few and came so hard, I was shaking and crying.
I collapsed on the floor and curled into a fetal position. The guys came all over me. I remember thinking what a mess this was going to be. I feel hands on my legs as one of them kisses my pussy very gently.
When I eventually stopped shaking, they helped me get dressed and put me in a private car back to my hotel with a number to call when I got in. The room was empty when I got there and I was thankful. The first thing I did was take a long hot shower. After about 30 minutes I emerged from the bathroom smelling fresh and clean. I reached into my purse for my cell phone and the number. What I found first was 5 $100 bills. “Did I rob someone and not remember?” I put it on the bed thinking I would figure it out in the morning.
Keith answered the phone. “I see you made it to your hotel safely. Did you find your gift?”
Dumbfounded…”Huh? What gift? OH!! The money!! Damnit… I thought I robbed someone. Yes I found it but why?”
“For being a good sport and being able to hang for as long as you did. You really know how to make a nigga work for a nut!”
“I’m glad you both had fun. I know I did. Thanks.”
“No problem, baby. Come back anytime. Don’t know how long you’re here for but we’re open every night. Hope we can see you again. Good night.”

Me and my friend Drew Part 1

This is only a fantasy and not real, although names have been changed. This is my first story so please donā€™t be to negative. constitution criticism is always welcomed
