Growing Pains (MF, reluc)
by John Beard (jackstraw1832@altavista.com)
*
At fifteen I boarded away from home to attend high
school. One night after the town pump reneged on her
promise of sex I caught my landlady's daughter
masturbating. My attempt at rape was frustrated by my
quick-trigger but I succeeded with a more conventional
seduction.
*
I grew up a long time ago in a small village. It was,
shortly after the end of the Second World War and, when I
was fifteen and entering Grade Eleven, I had to board
away from home to finish High School. This was before the
advent of Regional High Schools.
Like most fifteen-year-old boys at that time, I was a
virgin and, like fifteen-year-old boys of any era, I was
horny and I hungered for sex. The only sex I had,
however, was compliments of the 'five fingered widow' who
gave me solace every night, sometimes more than once a
night. That year I boarded at a farm on the edge of the
small town where I was going to school. My hosts were an
army veteran, Lou, his matronly, busty wife, Mary, and
their plump fourteen-year-old daughter, Brenda.
They were a religious, church-going family although Mary
seemed to be the driving force on the religion front. Lou
complained about going to church except on Sunday and
Brenda seemed often to be ill whenever church was
scheduled, especially for the twice-weekly Prayer
Meetings. I wasn't a member of the family, not even
figuratively.
Lou and Brenda generally ignored me and, although Mrs. H-
-- looked after my creature comforts, it was a distant,
duty-bound type of care. As a consequence of this, I
overheard the family squabbles, and there were lots of
these. The family fights were generally subdued and they
revolved around Lou's drinking and Brenda's rebellious
refusal to do what she was told.
Their daughter didn't seem to be too fond of me. It may
have been partly because, although I was only about a
year older than she, I was two grades ahead of her in
school.
It was mainly, though, because they had given me what
used to be her room. It was a big room with lots of space
for the bed and dresser and even a desk where could work.
The room she'd been moved to was most definitely small.
It had likely been a sewing room or something like that
before it became her bedroom. On the rare occasions that
she left the door open I could see that there was barely
enough room for her bed and dresser. The bed was just a
door's width from the doorway so that, to get to her
dresser at the foot of the bed, she had to close the
door. It's not surprising that she resented me.
Brenda was a frequent subject of my masturbatory
fantasies. As I mentioned, she was a year younger and two
grades behind me in school but she looked at least
seventeen. Although her mother would not allow her to
wear sweaters (and I overheard more than one argument
about that), even her loose-fitting blouses couldn't
disguise the fact that she was extremely well endowed in
the breast department and I fantasized not only of having
her plump body engulfing my manhood but having my hands
filled with her voluminous titflesh.
It was early November when something happened that
altered my view of the family.
They were all out to Prayer Meeting one evening when,
bored, I went upstairs to Lou and Mary's room. I knew I
was being dishonest but I wasn't going to steal anything
so it didn't bother me to poke around their belongings.
Wow! I couldn't believe it. In the bottom drawer of their
dresser I found a small box, about ten inches by eight
inches and three inches deep. I looked inside and I know
I gasped with shock. There was a collection of grainy,
black and white photos that were like nothing I'd ever
seen before. Naked, hugely endowed men with their
oversized organs penetrating equally naked, Rubenesque
women in places I'd not thought possible. There were
books, also, and a typewritten story that proved to be my
favourite, a plotless tale that introduced me to such
words as cunnilingus and clitoris. After that I looked
forward to their absences so that I could enjoy their
little treasure-trove of pornography.
There was one other change that resulted from my
discovery that old people like Mary and Lou had sexy
thoughts. After that I looked at Mrs. H--- in a different
way. She became a regular fantasy partner as I
experimented in my imagination with the novel (to me)
ways of having intercourse described in the books.
As I mentioned, the family more or less ignored me. Now,
at the dinner table, I would muse about what Lou would
think if he knew what I pretended his wife and daughter
were doing with me. It was about this time also that
Brenda became careless around me. On several occasions I
happened to see her returning to her room, across the
hall from mine, from the shower, which was upstairs. It
was then that I got my first look at her big, fat breasts
bouncing nakedly as she hurried down the stairs, a towel
covering only her lower body.
I returned after Christmas holidays, looking forward to
renewing my images of Brenda and Mary for my solitary
nighttime pleasure. It was mid-January when, to my
immense delight, Patsy said I could walk her home after
next Wednesday's hockey game.
Hockey was my other passion but I wasn't much good at it.
I was the number three goalie on the High School team,
which meant that I didn't get to even dress for games.
The games were played on Wednesday and Friday at five
o'clock; late enough that it didn't interfere with
classes and early enough that it didn't interfere with
homework and study.
You may wonder why walking a girl home in the early
evening was a big thing? Well, Patsy was a pretty, kind
of skinny, Grade Seven girl who was probably twelve or
thirteen years old. More importantly, everybody said that
she went all the way. And, when she'd told me I could
walk her home, there had been a certain look in her eyes,
as if she was telling me it would be special.
During the game, I stood close to the players' bench.
Patsy stood close by my side and I was conscious of
little other than the feel of her warm thigh pressed to
mine. She kept looking at me with her pretty, red-lipped
smile and I believed I saw an unspoken promise of
intimacy in her eyes. I was a bit jealous when, several
times, she leaned over and whispered to Leo, one of the
star players on the team. I was almost nauseous with
desire.
When the game was over, one of my duties was to deliver
the scoring summary to the reporter for the local weekly
paper. He lived a few houses away. Patsy said she'd wait
for me at the rink instead of going with me.
It took longer than I expected to deliver the summary
and, when I got back to the rink, most people had left. I
looked around for Patsy but couldn't find her. I didn't
ask anyone because I felt that they'd laugh at me because
of her reputation. Finally, after checking every other
location and concluding disappointedly, that she'd gone
home without me, I went to the dressing room to get my
schoolbooks.
When I opened the door and started to enter I saw Patsy,
flat on her back on the floor, her slender, white legs
splayed wide with Leo on top of her, his naked bottom
pumping up and down as he fucked her. She was looking up
at the grimy ceiling tiles with a vacant, almost bored
expression. I guess I must have gasped because she
suddenly looked right at me and her expression changed,
first to alarm and then to a sort of sheepish smile.
Forgetting my books, I closed the door and stumbled
outside. I was devastated. As I walked home my feelings
alternated between jealousy and disappointment and then
regret that I hadn't waited, just in case she'd still let
me walk her home.
A wet deck didn't deter me in the least. I was aching
with frustrated desire and the only consolation I could
find was that the H--- family would be at Prayer meeting
until late so I could delve into the hidden trove of
pictures and books. The widow would get a good workout
tonight, for sure.
Wasting no time when I got home, I undressed and headed
upstairs to shower, almost tripping on a wet towel on the
stairs. Brenda had likely left it there after her shower
and I wished I could have been home to see her without
even the towel to cover her voluptuous body.
Putting on my pajamas, I went to Lou's room and noticed
two things, immediately. First, the dresser drawer was
open and, second, the box was gone. Had I slipped up and
made him suspect that I had found the box? Where had he
put it? I looked around carefully, not wanting to do
anything to confirm his suspicions, but I couldn't find
it. Disappointed for the second time that evening, I went
back to my room without the hoped for substitute for
Patsy's charms. What a bummer.
I returned to my room, turned off the light and lay down,
thinking of what it would have been like to have my
throbbingly erect cock inside Patsy's cunt. My whole
groin area was aching from four hours of erection and
semi-erection. And I wasn't even going to be able to
fantasize that I was emptying my load into one of the
buxom girls in Lou's photo collection.
Then I heard a sound. It was a sort of whimpering or
crying noise. For a moment the thought of haunted house
passed through my mind. I'd heard of them but didn't
believe in them. Still, it was an old house and a shiver
shot up my spine.
Getting up my courage, I went out into the hallway. The
noise was louder there and, as I bravely tracked it, it
became obvious that it was coming from Brenda's little
room. Had she left her radio on? That must be it. The
sounds sort of came and went but I suspected that it was
some artsy program on CBC. I listened a bit more, just to
be sure it was from her room and then I opened the door.
I'd already had one surprise and two disappointments that
night and this was my second surprise. I pushed the door
open to find the room brightly lit and, on the bed, less
than four feet from where I stood, was Brenda. She was
flat on her back; eyes squeezed shut, legs widespread and
flexed at the knees. Her wide hips were twisting and
squirming and, between her legs, one hand was rubbing
furiously. Brenda's big breasts were jiggling and
flopping like two bags filled with unset Jello. Beside
her on the bed was the box from Lou's dresser and photos
and all were scattered on the bed beside Brenda's lush,
naked body.
My erect penis was jutting out through the fly of my
pajamas and I literally jumped on top of the defenseless
girl, roughly dragging her hand from between her legs to
expose the target of my lust.
"Whuumph. Hunnhh?" she grunted as my weight came down on
her, pinning her to the bed. But, quick though I was, I
wasn't fast enough for, somehow, she got her legs closed
before I could get between them.
My throbbing tool drove blindly at her tightly closed
thighs and, when the sensitive tip contacted the soft,
warm flesh, it was like a blasting cap to my semen
charge. I exploded even as I continued to try to force my
way between those soft thighs and get to my objective,
her cunt.
As I spurted onto her naked flesh I was, for the briefest
moment afraid. What if she told? But as quickly as my
fear came, it went. She couldn't tell. Not without
revealing that she had her Dad's pictures and books.
"Nah...no...don't tell." Brenda gasped and she went limp
beneath me, her plump body shaking with sobs. "Go Joe.
hanh... leave." she sobbed.
Even though I'd gone off, my teenaged libido was still in
control and I wasn't about to pass up this opportunity.
She resisted weakly as I kneed her legs apart and got my
hand on her holy of holies. God, she was wet. I don't
know how much of the greasy wetness was from her and how
much was from me but it didn't matter.
Brenda tried to push my hand away from her pussy as,
sobbing piteously, she pleaded, "No...hanh...no
Joe...hanh...don't." but I was not about to be deterred
by a few tears.
Her pussy was the softest thing I'd ever touched. Despite
her futile, restraining grasp of my wrist, my fingers
slid easily in the oily, wet fleshrolls as her body shook
with desolate sobs. Unmoved by her blubbering I sought
her clitoris, remembering how that body part was featured
in some of the stories in Lou's collection. Brenda's legs
were clasping my knee tightly as she struggled to close
them.
"Whannhh...Nahhh." she cried out when my finger pushed
against a hard, slick nubbin. "Nahhh!" Although her
fingers squeezed my wrist tighter, her leg grip on my
knee suddenly loosened and her hips gave an upward jerk.
Yes! I was sure I had found her clitoris.
"Nahhh...don't...hanh...dohnnn't" Brenda whined and her
body shook with another paroxysm of sobs.
Moved, and a bit scared by her weeping, I pleaded,
"Please, Brenda...please let me feel you." but I didn't
lessen my assault on her swollen pussy. "Please,
Brenda...you like it don't you?"
"Nahhh...hanh...but...hanh...can't...scared." she whined
weakly and plaintively.
"Please Brenda...please?" I was concentrating my attention
on the hard, little button now and I could tell that it
was having an effect on her. Her legs were spread wider;
her pelvis was wriggling and pushing at my finger.
"Nahhh...but...will you promise? Just that...just touch me.
promise?"
"I promise, Brenda...just let me touch you." and, even
before I spoke my promise, she released her grasp from my
wrist and tilted her pelvis to give me better access to
her pussy.
My premature explosion had dampened the urgency of my
need and, as the girl's resistance dissolved, I finally
looked at her. Her pussy was a fat, wet pudding, and
remnants of my semen were showing white on the pink
flesh. A few fine hairs fringed her sex and, above on her
bulging mound, she had a crown of thick, black curls. Her
plump belly was convex and as I continued to finger her
sensitive clit, it quivered and bulged.
Then my gaze fixed on her breasts, two large globes that
sagged from their own weight and jiggled and swayed with
her heavy breathing. The tips were crowned with pink-
pebbled aureoles and, projecting out from them were the
nipples, thick as a large calibre bullet and almost an
inch long. I touched them, rubbing the palm of my hand
over their rubbery hardness, and Brenda uttered a
whimpering gasp.
"Does that feel good, Brenda," I asked as I took one of
the cylinders between thumb and forefinger and gently
squeezed it.
"Hannh...yannh...yeah." she gasped. "Oohhh Joe...promise
you won't tell?"
"I promise, Brenda." and I slid my finger into the hot
opening between her soft labia. The flesh had a fine,
corrugated feel and it was even softer inside than out,
the fleshy enclosure moulding snugly to my finger as I
imagined how it would feel to have it moulding to my
throbbing cock.
"Hannh...Joe...touch me...feel me there," she gasped and
she reached down to guide my fingers back to her clit.
Holding my hand there she began to writhe against it as
her breathing went from heavy to laboured to a breathless
panting. Was she going to come? I got my answer as she
uttered a low wail, her thighs locked on my wrist and her
hips heaved and jerked against my hand.
"Hannh...whooo...hannnhh." Brenda moaned. "Oohhhhh." and
suddenly she pushed my hand away. "Nahhh...no more...
don't."
I moved my hand so that I was just cupping the fat
softness of her vulva and she uttered a long sigh, her
legs relaxing and opening again. I wasn't sure what was
going on but, when I touched her clit again, her hips
jerked and she tried to push my hand away. "Nahhh.don't
touch me.don't."
"Did you cum, Brenda? Did I make you cum?"
"Hanh...annhh...yuh...I guess so...I...you better go,
Joe...they might come home."
"Please, Brenda...let me feel you some more." I knew that
it was at least two hours before the H---'s would be home
and I wasn't about to give up now. I moved my hand away
from her pussy to feel her large, quivering breasts. They
were marvelous, soft and heavy and warm though her
nipples were smaller now, sort of retracted into her
aureola. "B...but Joe? I'm scared?"
"It's OK, Brenda...we have lots of time." I moved my hand
down again and this time she didn't object when I touched
her clit. "Please, Brenda...feel me, too?"
Brenda raised her head and looked at my prick sticking
out through the fly of my pajamas. "If? Like? Please...
will you leave then... if I do?"
"Mmm hmm...yeah," I lied as I renewed my caress of her
hard, little clit and, with my other hand, pushed down my
pajama bottoms. The girl reached out tentatively, sort of
shyly, and her fingers touched my tool, making it jump in
response.
"Oh!" she gasped in surprise, and then she gingerly
touched it again. A trickle of clear fluid dripped from
the tip into her hand and she pulled it back again. "Did
you? Like? Did you spend?"
"Not yet, Brenda," I gasped as I guided her hand back to
my tool, wrapping her fingers around it, or at least as
far as they'd go around its thick girth. "But I want you
to make me cum...Brend."
Her legs were spread wide again and I could tell that my
fingers were having the desired effect as I stroked and
probed the soft wetness of her pussy-pudding. Brenda's
own fingers were doing things to me as, shyness
dissolving with her growing arousal, she explored my
throbbing tool.
"Easy," I gasped when she fondled my achingly swollen
balls.
"I'm tender there."
"Why? Are they always tender," she asked, staring
curiously at my genitals.
"You made them that way, Brenda..." I got to my hands and
knees above her then and she took her hand away to push
at my chest.
"Joe? No? What are you doing?"
"It's OK, Brenda...just so's I can see you better," and I
squatted back on my heels between her widely splayed legs
and continued playing with her pussy while I also mauled
her soft, floppy breasts.
"Uh...Joe? Did'ja ever go all the way?"
"No...but? Can I?" I thrilled with anticipation. I was
going to fuck her anyway, whether she agreed or not but
maybe she'd let me without fighting?
"Nuh...no...I can't." she said but there was a note of
uncertainty in her voice. I leaned forward over her and
lowered my head to her breasts. Her nipples were sticking
out again and I took one of the thick, rubbery tubes
between my lips and sucked on it. Brenda uttered a
whimpered gasp and I could tell that she liked what I was
doing. Her arms and hands fluttered at her sides as I
showered her voluminous titflesh with wet kisses, sucking
and nibbling the hard nipples while I continued to caress
her sloppy, soft pussy.
Her breathing was becoming laboured and my groin area was
afire with lust as I angled my hips lower until the tip
of my cock contacted the moist warmth of her vulva.
"Hanh! No Joe! No!" and her hands grasped my tool,
pushing it away from my target.
"Please Brenda...let me put the tip in...please...that's
all I want."
"Nah...no...scared."
"Please Brenda...just the tip...that's all." And as I
pleaded, her defensive grip on my cock lessened.
"Promise? Just the tip? No more?"
"I promise, Brenda." and my hand joined hers on my prick
as I directed it lower to her hot, cuntal orifice. She
squeezed me tighter as I pushed past her inner labia and
felt the marvelous, moist warmth as she opened to me.
It felt fabulous, so soft and warm and wet. I pushed in a
bit more.
"Nah...no more...hurts." Brenda moaned as the sensitive
head of my cock was engulfed by her exquisitely snug
softness.
My ingress was hampered not only by her hands, which were
now trying weakly to push me away, but also by an
obstruction inside the humid channel. Oh God! I couldn't
wait. Roughly I pulled her hands away and pushed in hard.
"Hurrttsss!" She wailed as I exulted with the incredible
feeling of being enclosed by her soft, moist flesh. "Take
it owwwttt!"
Ignoring her shrill cry, I penetrated the tight-fitting
sheath, thrilling to the sensations her hotly clinging
cuntflesh were imparting. My hips came to rest pressed
closely to hers as I savoured the total sensuality of
having a girl's inner fleshy tissue moulded snugly to my
throbbing cock.
"It's OK Brenda," I murmured. "Does it still hurt?"
"Nah...not now...b b but? You promised?"
Her body was tense and still beneath me for a moment and
then it shook slightly with a stifled sob. With the
motion, her hot cuntflesh fractioned my penis and I felt
the churning, boiling sensation in my swollen balls that
signaled an eruption. Holding my own body rigid and
gritting my teeth I fought the urge to cum. My cock made
a slight jerk and I backed off ever so little, hoping
against hope that I could control myself.
I squeezed my eyes shut and I squeezed the muscles that
controlled my tool as hard as I could, restraining myself
from doing what I really wanted to do, which was to
thrust in and out of the hotly engulfing passage. There
was a brief flash of fire in my loins and then the
urgency was gone. I raised my upper body from Brenda's
and looked down at her with a feeling of triumph.
She wasn't looking at me. Her gaze seemed to be fixed on
a picture on the wall, a forest scene. I tried a short,
tentative thrust to confirm that I was in control of my
body. I was. I felt no sense of urgency and, in fact, I
was quite cool. I think I may have had a mini-orgasm, not
enough to finish me but enough to take the edge off my
teenage lust. Slowly, I began to withdraw, savouring the
wet caress of Brenda's passage on my cock.
"Are you taking it out?" Brenda looked at me then a soft,
sort of wistful expression on her face. Did she want me
to stay inside?
"Not yet, Brenda. Let me stay in you for a moment more?
Can I?"
"Uh...just for a moment, Joe...a few seconds."
I pushed back in. It was heaven. My hand would never
satisfy me again. In and out. In and out. Slow, then
faster. She laid there, legs widespread, arms at her
sides, her big breasts jiggling with each breath that she
took.
Peeling off my pajama top, I lay on top of the buxom
girl, enjoying the soft, pillowy feel, bare flesh to bare
flesh, of her big, soft tits under me. At the bottom of
my instrokes I ground my hips against hers, pushing her
legs wider apart as I tried to worm even closer to my
fleshy companion.
"Hanh...annhh...hanh...annhh..." Brenda breathed in time
with my thrusts. Then her arms went around me, hugging
me, and her thighs began to clasp my hips on my upstroke,
and then fall away loosely when I pushed in again. Her
belly began to bulge and palpitate under mine and her
sounds changed.
"Aahhhh? Hunnh! Aahhhh? Hunnh!" she moaned, alternatively
questioning and grunting. I felt the heat in my groin
burst into a fire and I knew that, this time, there was
no holding back.
As the tempo and force of my thrusts increased, Brenda's
arms hugged me tighter, her breath gusting with hot
whoomphs each time I hammered her pneumatic frame. I
ground against her breasts, enjoying the feel of their
full softness under my chest but the overwhelming centre
of my feeling was between my legs.
It was incredible! It felt for a moment as if my balls
were retracting up into my body as the rush of semen
traversed its convoluted course from my testicles to my
prostate-pump and then, as I moaned in ecstasy, to spurt
into the cock-filled depths of my partner's inexperienced
body. It seemed almost as if it was coming from my heels.
I made a couple more short jabs and I felt the liquid of
my ejaculation adding to the wetness of Brenda's vagina.
I jerked reflexively against her warm, soft pelvis and,
as I pumped my sperm up into her, her belly seemed to
bulge with each frantic burst and she uttered sharp,
little whimpers as if she could feel her cunt being
flooded. Drained and weak, I slumped down, full weight,
on the girl's body as, squirming beneath me, she hugged
me tight.
I enjoyed a brief moment of blissful lethargy and then
reality intruded. What if the H---'s came home? What if
Brenda told her mother what I'd done? What if I'd knocked
her up? Fear induced adrenalin finished off whatever was
left of my erection and I rolled off of her limply
quivering body.
"Are you done? Is it over, Joe?" Brenda sounded timid and
maybe even disappointed but, as I looked at her pale
nakedness, there was no more appeal. Her features were
coarse, her breasts flabby, her belly, fat. Her hand
moved
down to the wet curls of her bush and I saw a trickle of
red-stained jism oozing from the slightly gaping lips of
her cunt.
"They may come home, Brenda. I'd better go," I said as I
grabbed my pajamas and headed for the door.
"Uh...I guess you deflowered me, Joe?" she said as she
examined the evidence on her fat cuntlips. "Mom'd be real
mad at you if she knew." Those were the last words I
heard from her that night. By morning I knew we hadn't
been caught and I had convinced myself that she was too
young to get knocked up. At the breakfast table, Brenda
wouldn't look at me but by then, my libido was recharged
and I got an instant erection as I looked at her buxom,
chastely clad body. At dinner that night and breakfast
the next day, she still ignored me, whether from
embarrassment, shyness or whatever, I didn't know. And
then I went home for the weekend.
Brenda continued to ignore me after I returned although I
couldn't help but notice that she was more careless than
ever about what she wore when she was around me. I was
going crazy with the desire to once again see and feel
that body which, immediately after I'd had it last
Wednesday, had no appeal at all.
On Tuesday, Patsy sat beside me in Assembly and kept her
hand on my thigh the whole time. 'Tomorrow night', she'd
whispered intimately, 'after the hockey game. Mom's
working so you can come to the apartment to visit.' What
would it be like with a skinny stick like her? I couldn't
wait to find out.
Mrs. H--- said, at supper, that there was a special
church meeting and, after supper, I went to my room as
usual. Had Brenda put Lou's box back? They were going to
church so I could read some of the other stuff in it, now
that I had some experience. I did some homework and
watched the clock, waiting for eight, when they'd all be
gone to church.
It was a few minutes before eight when I heard a soft
knock on the door to my room. Damn, I thought. They
didn't go to church. "Come in, Mrs. H---," I said from my
chair at the desk. She only came in once in a while,
usually to ask if I was satisfied with the care I was
getting.
"Uh...it's just me, Joe...Mom's gone to church...they're both
gone. We're all alone. Uh...can I borrow your dictionary? I
can't find mine."
Brenda was wearing baby doll pajamas that she must have
had for years. The short legs came right up to her crotch
and the top threatened to split from containing her
oversized jugs. Was she asking for it? She must be.
"Uh, sure Brenda. Do you wanta sit and talk?"
"Uh...yeah...I guess so...but...just talk...that's all."
Of course, that wasn't all, but that's another story.
