I bolted awake to the shrill beeping of an unfamiliar alarm, my heart pounding as disorientation hit me like a truck. This wasn’t my bed—the sheets were softer, the mattress wider, and the faint scent of lavender lingered in the air, not the musty teenage funk of my own room. Blinking against the morning light filtering through the half-drawn curtains, I tried to piece together where the hell I was. The room was small and lived-in, with its queen bed taking up most of the space, rumpled sheets twisted around my naked body. A simple wooden dresser sat against one wall, topped with a framed photo of me and Jess as kids, and a half-empty perfume bottle that must’ve been the source of that lavender smell. The nightstand held a digital clock now blaring that annoying alarm, and scattered around were remnants of last night’s chaos—discarded clothes, a bottle of lube, and what looked like a crumpled tissue or two. My muscles screamed in protest from the marathon orgy we’d had, every inch of me sore like I’d run a triathlon while carrying weights.
Someone leaned over me—warm skin brushing mine—and silenced the alarm with a quick slap. That’s when it all clicked: I was still in Mom’s bed, sandwiched between her and Jess, our bodies tangled from the exhaustive night of fucking that had left us all passed out in a heap. Mom was on my right, her frame now snuggling closer, her DD tits pressing against my side as she purred into my ear, “Morning, handsome.” Her voice was husky, laced with that sensual edge she’d always had, but now it carried a new layer of intimacy after everything we’d done. Jess, on my left, just grumbled something incoherent about it being too early, burrowing deeper under the covers like the brat she was.
Mom didn’t waste time. She started kissing her way down my chest, her lips soft and teasing, trailing fire across my skin. My cock, already half-hard from morning wood and the memories of last night, twitched in anticipation. I glanced down at her, her brown hair tousled, brown eyes sparkling with mischief as she met my gaze. “I take it you have no regrets from last night?” I asked, my voice rough from sleep, trying to gauge if the light of day had brought any guilt crashing down on her.
She paused her descent, crawling back up to nuzzle against my neck, her breath hot against my skin. “I came more times last night than in the entire eighteen years I’ve been with your father,” she whispered, her words sending a thrill through me. “No regrets whatsoever.” God, hearing that—knowing I’d given her more pleasure in one night than Dad ever had—made my chest swell with a twisted mix of pride and possession. She was mine now, in ways she’d never been his.
With that, she slithered back down my body, her hands roaming over my abs, tracing the spots that were still tender from the workout. She settled between my legs, her mouth hovering over my throbbing cock, which was now fully erect, the swollen head glistening with pre-cum. This had become our ritual—Mom waking me with her mouth, treating my dick like it was the most precious thing in the world. But today, it was even more intense, like she was pouring all her pent-up years of frustration into worshiping me.
She started slow, her tongue flicking out to lap at the underside of my shaft, tasting the saltiness of my skin mixed with the remnants of last night’s cum. “Mmm, you taste so good, baby,” she murmured, her voice vibrating against me. I moaned deeply, not holding back, letting her know exactly how fucking amazing it felt. “God, Mom, I love you so much. This is incredible—don’t stop.” No dirty talk this time, just raw appreciation, because she deserved it. She deserved to know she was blowing my mind.
Jess stirred on my left, finally waking up properly, and snuggled into my side, her green eyes bleary but playful. “I’m so sore,” she whined, rubbing her thigh against mine, her C-cup tits squishing against my arm. She was always the dramatic one, but I could tell from the way she winced that last night had taken a toll—we’d gone hard, all three of us, pushing boundaries I never thought we’d cross.
Trying to get a little payback for her teasing yesterday, I smirked and said, “It’s a shame such a nice pussy is attached to such a wimp. You fuck one guy, and now you’re crippled?”
She giggled, not missing a beat. “No, I fucked one donkey and now I’m crippled.” Her hand trailed down to give my balls a gentle squeeze, emphasizing her point about my size—that damn wasp sting had left me hung like a horse, and she loved reminding me.
I opened my mouth for a comeback, but at that exact moment, Mom decided to up the ante. She engulfed my cock in one smooth motion, sliding it deep into her throat without a hint of hesitation. Holy fuck—the tightness, the warmth, the way her throat muscles contracted around me—it was pure bliss. All thoughts fled; I didn’t give a shit what Jess said anymore. I groaned loudly, my hips bucking involuntarily as she bottomed out, her nose pressing into my pubes.
Jess propped herself up on an elbow, peering down with wide eyes. “Holy shit, Mom! You can deep throat!?”
Mom pulled off slowly, my cock popping free with a wet slurp, strings of saliva connecting her lips to my glistening shaft. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, grinning up at us. “Well, your father demanded I learn, so...”
I cut her off, not wanting to hear about that asshole while her mouth was on me. “Stop talking about Dad and get back to it,” I commanded, my voice firm, the dominant side of me surfacing effortlessly now.
“Yes, sir,” she purred, her eyes lighting up with submission. She dove back in, slowly working my thick cock down her throat again, inch by vulgar inch, until she’d taken it all. Then she eased back up, swirling her tongue around the head, sucking gently like it was a delicacy. Back down, up, repeating the rhythm with expert precision—no gagging, no struggle, just pure, loving skill that had me moaning like a porn star.
Jess was beside herself, watching in awe. “Mom’s not even struggling! How the hell...?”
I managed to gasp out between moans, “How didn’t you know this? Didn’t you see Mom deep throat me the last two mornings while you watched from my doorway?”
“I never saw the whole thing. I only came in at the end, after you woke the whole neighborhood with your moaning.” She proceeded to mock me, exaggerating my sounds in a high-pitched whine: “Ohhh, fuuuck, Mom, yes!”
I chuckled through the pleasure, my hand tangling in Mom’s hair as she bobbed deeper. “What about last night? Mom deep throated me several times.”
Jess rolled her eyes bratily. “Well, I couldn’t see much of anything last night with you always shoving my face into Mom’s pussy.”
“What!?” I laughed, even as Mom’s throat milked another groan from me. “I never did that. You were diving in all on your own, you little slut.”
“Pff, semantics,” she shot back, her tone pure Jess—impulsive, bratty, and unapologetic, sticking her tongue out at me while snuggling closer, her hand now joining Mom’s efforts by fondling my balls gently.
I tuned Jess out completely, sinking back into the pillows and letting the waves of pleasure wash over me as Mom worked her magic. Her mouth was a velvet heaven, sliding up and down my throbbing cock with that torturously slow rhythm, her lips sealed tight around my girth, tongue swirling lazily around the head on every upstroke. She hummed contentedly, the vibrations shooting straight to my balls, making my toes curl. God, she was enjoying this as much as I was—her eyes half-lidded in bliss, like sucking her son’s massive dick was the highlight of her morning. Even Jess fell silent for once, her green eyes glued to the sight of Mom effortlessly taking me to the hilt, no gag, no hesitation, just pure, skilled devotion.
I could feel Jess shifting beside me, her breathing quickening as she watched transfixed. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her hand slip between her legs, fingers circling her clit while she bit her lip, mesmerized by Mom’s throat bulging slightly with each deep plunge. “How does she do that?” Jess murmured, mostly to herself, her voice breathy with arousal. Fuck, it was turning her on big time—her nipples hardening into points, her hips grinding subtly against the mattress as she rubbed faster.
I focused on my breathing, steady inhales and exhales, fighting the urge to thrust up and end it too soon. This felt too damn good—Mom’s warm, wet mouth loving every inch of my swollen shaft, her hands gently massaging my balls like they were treasures. I wanted to drag it out, savor the build-up, the way my body tensed with each slow bob of her head.
Another five minutes ticked by in that delicious haze, and suddenly Jess arched beside me, her fingers plunging into her slick pussy as she came with a soft whimper, her body shuddering against mine. She panted, pulling her hand away glistening with her juices, and shot me a dazed look. “How the hell haven’t you cum yet?”
“I’m enjoying it so much I don’t want it to end,” I groaned, my voice strained as Mom bottomed out again, her nose buried in my pubes.
Jess’s eyes lit up with that mischievous twinkle, the one that always meant trouble—or in our case, filthy fun. “Can I fuck Mom’s mouth onto your cock?” she asked, her tone dripping with excitement.
“Fuck, that’s hot,” I managed, the idea alone making my dick twitch in Mom’s throat.
Mom grunted her approval around my meat, the sound muffled but eager—best she could do with her airway stuffed full of her son’s throbbing prick. Jess didn’t hesitate; she sat up on her knees, grabbing a fistful of Mom’s brown hair and yanking her head up, then slamming it back down onto my cock at a brutal new pace. No more slow and sensual—this was raw, forceful, Jess controlling the rhythm like she was puppeteering Mom’s skull for our pleasure.
With her other hand, Jess reached down between Mom’s legs, fingers diving into her dripping cunt, pumping in and out with wet, squelching sounds. Mom moaned around my shaft, the vibrations intensifying everything, her pussy clenching greedily on Jess’s digits. I couldn’t form words, couldn’t spit out the dirty talk I usually loved—all I could do was moan like a bitch in heat, my hips bucking up to meet the savage face-fucking.
Jess picked up the slack, her voice turning filthy and commanding. “That’s it, you dirty whore, choke on your son’s fat cock! Take it all, you cum-guzzling slut—ram that throat down till your nose is grinding against his balls!” She wasn’t holding back, slamming Mom’s head up and down with reckless force, my cock pistoning in and out of her mouth like a jackhammer, spit and pre-cum drooling from the corners of her lips. Mom’s eyes watered, but she took it like a champ, humming and sucking harder, her own moans mixing with the sloppy gurgles.
The pressure built fast, a tidal wave crashing through me. Mom’s pussy spasmed around Jess’s fingers, her body convulsing as she came hard, and that set me off. We exploded together—my balls tightening, unleashing rope after thick, hot rope of cum straight down her throat. She swallowed frantically, her throat muscles working overtime to gulp it all down, not missing a single drop even as Jess kept forcing her head up and down through our orgasms. I roared, my vision blurring, the pleasure so intense it bordered on pain, my cock pulsing endlessly in the tight confines of her gullet.
As we came down, Jess released Mom’s hair, her face flushing with a mix of arousal and sheepishness. “Sorry, Mom, I got a little carried away,” she said, sucking her cum-slick fingers.
Mom pulled off my spent cock with a gasp, licking her lips clean, her brown eyes shining with satisfaction. “Don’t worry, sweetie,” she purred, voice hoarse but happy. “I loved every second of it.”
Jess slid out of bed on shaky legs, wobbling like a newborn foal as she steadied herself against the nightstand. “Fuck, my ass is killing me from those poundings you gave me last night,” she whined, rubbing her bruised cheeks with a dramatic pout, but there was that bratty spark in her green eyes that said she’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. Her nipples were rock hard, poking out like diamonds, her body still buzzing from watching Mom deep-throat me like a pro. She was worked up, flushed and fidgety, her pussy probably dripping just from the memory.
I grunted as I swung my legs over the edge of the bed, my abs screaming in protest—they were the worst, aching like I’d done a thousand crunches after a full-body workout. The rest of me was still sore from yesterday’s marathon of fucking, but it wasn’t the crippling pain it had been; more like a dull throb that reminded me of every thrust, every orgasm. Mom just smiled from the bed, looking satisfied and spent, as Jess grabbed my hand and practically dragged me toward the door. “C’mon, shower time,” she demanded, her voice husky with need. I didn’t resist—hell, why would I? She was naked, eager, and pulling me along like her personal sex toy.
We stumbled into the tiny shared bathroom, the cracked tiles underfoot cool against my bare feet. The space was cramped—a rusty sink, a toilet squeezed in the corner, and the shower-tub combo with its mildew-speckled curtain half-drawn. Jess cranked the faucet, testing the water until steam started rising, filling the room with that familiar misty warmth. She stepped in first, the spray cascading over her slim body, wetting her brown hair and making her skin glisten. Without a word, she bent over at the waist, bracing her hands against the tiled wall, her ass presented to me like a gift, water streaming down her back and over her curves. She looked over her shoulder, eyes locked on mine, dripping with desperation. “I’m sore but I don’t care—I’m so horny I’m going to explode. Just pick a hole already.”
God, that was hot. Jess had been begging for shower sex since this whole crazy thing started, and there was no reason to deny her anymore—not after last night, when we’d crossed every line imaginable. My cock, still semi-hard from Mom’s blowjob, twitched back to full attention at the sight of her bent over, pussy lips puffy and inviting under the water. I stepped into the tub behind her, the warm spray hitting my chest, washing away the remnants of sleep and sex. Gripping my shaft, I lined up the swollen head with her slick entrance, teasing her folds for a second before easing in slowly. She was tight, wet, and ready, but we were both tender from the night’s abuse—no need to go full savage like I had when I’d railed her ass raw.
I took it easy, sliding in inch by inch until I was buried to the hilt in her velvety heat, her walls clenching around me like a vice. “Fuuuck, Jess,” I groaned, my hands sliding up her wet sides to cup her perky C-cup tits, fingers pinching those rock-hard nipples gently. She moaned, pushing back against me, but I set a relaxed pace—long, steady thrusts that let us both feel every ridge and vein of my thick cock dragging along her inner walls. Water pounded down on us, mixing with the slick sounds of our bodies connecting, steam clouding the air as I fucked her slow and deep, savoring the way her pussy gripped me. No aggression this time, just intimate, loving strokes that built the pleasure gradually, our soreness melting into something blissful under the hot cascade.
As our shower sex heated up, the relaxed pace gave way to something more urgent, my hips snapping forward with increasing speed, slamming into Jess’s tight pussy while water cascaded over us. She pushed back just as hard, her ass cheeks slapping against my thighs with wet, echoing smacks, her moans echoing off the tiled walls. “Fuck me harder, Chris! Give it to me!” she gasped, her fingers digging into the shower wall as I railed her relentlessly, my thick cock stretching her sore cunt to its limits, pounding deep and fast. The steam thickened, our bodies slick and sliding, and I felt her walls clamp down like a vice as she shattered, screaming my name while her pussy gushed around me. That sent me over the edge—I buried myself balls-deep and erupted, flooding her with hot, thick ropes of cum, our orgasms crashing together in a blinding wave of pleasure that left us both trembling under the spray.
We caught our breath, rinsing off quickly before stepping out of the tub, the bathroom mirror fogged up from the heat. I toweled off, my body still buzzing, and headed back to my room to get dressed, pulling on some of the new clothes Regina had bought me—a fitted shirt and designer jeans that hugged my frame just right. That’s when it hit me: homework. Shit, I hadn’t touched a damn thing last night, too wrapped up in the family orgy. My backpack was still downstairs by the kitchen table, where I’d dumped it after school. I jogged down the creaky stairs, the house quiet now with Mom probably getting ready for work, and snatched up my phone from the bag. There was a text from Allison, the frumpy girl from math, with photos of the completed homework she’d done for me. Bless her—but fuck, there wasn’t time to copy it all now. School was looming, and I needed to hustle. I’d have to wing it or something.
While throwing on my shoes, I shot Regina a quick text: Still picking me up this morning? Her reply buzzed in almost instantly:
Of course, boyfriend. Be there in 10. 😘
Good—no bus for me today.
Jess bounced into the living room, dressed in her usual school outfit—tight jeans and a crop top that showed off just a hint of her flat stomach—and grinned at me. “I wanna ride with you and Regina,” she announced, leaning against the wall with that impulsive grin of hers.
I raised an eyebrow, playing hard to get. “Why should I let you? The bus is fine.”
She batted her lashes dramatically. “Cause I’m the coolest sister in the world.”
I shook my head no, fighting a smile. “Not good enough.”
“Cause you love me and can’t stand the thought of me riding the bus with all those losers.”
Another shake of my head. “Nope. Try again.”
She bit her lip, eyes twinkling with mischief as she leaned forward. “Cause I’ll eat your ass again if you let me.”
“Now that’s a valid reason!” I exclaimed, laughing as she punched my arm playfully. Deal sealed—rimjobs were apparently the currency in our twisted family now.
We headed out front, stepping onto the small, crumbling concrete porch of our worn-down two-story house. The exterior looked as beat-up as ever in the morning light—faded paint peeling from the siding, the yard overgrown with weeds and unmowed grass, a pile of dried leaves gathered by the door. The narrow, cracked driveway led to the dented garage door, and that sagging chain-link fence did a half-assed job of enclosing the patchy lawn. It was a far cry from Regina’s gated mansion, but it was home. Jess and I waited on the porch, the cool morning air nipping at us, until Regina’s sleek Mercedes convertible pulled up, top down, her reddish-brown hair whipping in the breeze.
She flashed a perfect smile as we climbed in—Jess squeezed into the back, knees practically to her chest, backpack on her lap, grinning like an idiot. “This is so much better than the bus!” The rear seats were more for show than actual use in this sporty two-door. I slid into the passenger seat, the leather cool against my skin, and leaned over for a quick peck on Regina’s lips, her perfect body looking killer in a tight top that accentuated her C-cup tits.
As we peeled out, the wind rushing through the open top, Regina glanced at me with a sly smile while navigating the suburban streets toward Pineview High. “So, boyfriend, come to my house after school? I need you to do your ... duties.” Her voice was laced with promise, hinting at the kind of “duties” that involved me dominating her perfect body.
I nodded, the thrill of anticipation mixing with caution. “Yeah, sounds good. But I want to leave before your dad gets home.” No way was I risking that confrontation.
She pouted, those full lips turning down dramatically. “Fine, but my father is not like you think he is.” Still, she accepted it, her hand squeezing my thigh as we drove on.
We pulled into the Pineview High parking lot, Regina navigating her sleek Mercedes through the sprawling asphalt expanse. The student section on the east side was a chaotic mess as always—rows of angled spots marked by faded white lines, crammed with beat-up sedans, rusty trucks, and a few bikes chained to the chain-link fence. Trash littered the edges—empty soda cans, crumpled wrappers, and the occasional cigarette butt—while oil stains dotted the cracked pavement like abstract art. A few kids milled around, slamming car doors and slinging backpacks, the air buzzing with morning chatter. Regina found a spot near the main entrance, closer to the school building, and killed the engine. The faculty lot on the west looked way more orderly, with newer cars in neat rows under the “Faculty Only” sign, we were definitely in student territory.
As we climbed out, I immediately noticed something off—the girls around us were dressed way nicer than the last couple of days. Instead of the usual t-shirts and jeans, there were short skirts showing off toned legs, low-cut tops with plunging necklines, and heels that clicked against the pavement. Makeup was on point, hair styled, like every chick had decided today was prom or some shit. The guys though, they all looked the same.
One dude passing by, a lanky kid with messy hair, did a double-take when he saw me. “Yo, DeeDee,” he called out, smirking before hurrying off.
I blinked, confused as hell. DeeDee? What the fuck was that about? Before I could process it, a cute girl sauntered by, her top unbuttoned just enough to flash a generous amount of cleavage, her tits practically spilling out. She smiled sweetly and waved. “Hi, DeeDee.”
Okay, now it was weird. I turned to Jess and Regina, who were flanking me like bodyguards. “What the hell is going on? Why are people calling me DeeDee?”
Regina looked surprised, her blueish-grey eyes widening. “You do not know?”
Jess just rolled her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest. “If you’d ever get on Insta, you’d know that’s your new nickname.”
I pulled out my phone, still baffled. “I don’t get it. Why would my nickname be DeeDee?”
Jess grinned, that bratty sparkle in her green eyes. “It’s the letter D, you know, D D for...”
I cut her off, the pieces clicking into place with a groan. “Ugh, it stands for Donkey Dick, doesn’t it?”
She burst out giggling, nodding enthusiastically. “Yep! Enjoy your new superhero name!” With that, she darted off toward the school entrance, weaving through the crowd to her first class, leaving me standing there like an idiot.
Regina raised a perfectly arched eyebrow, her reddish-brown waves catching the morning sun. “Superhero name?”
I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck. “It’s a long story.” Internally, I couldn’t believe it—I’d somehow gone from the epic “God of Fuck” in our private jokes to the lame-ass “Donkey Dick.” Great, just what I needed: the whole school whispering about my bulge. As we headed inside, more stares followed, and I braced myself for whatever fresh hell the day would bring.
Regina and I continued down the bustling hallway, her hand warm in mine, fingers intertwined like we were some power couple owning the place. The corridors were alive with the usual morning chaos—lockers slamming, kids shouting, the faint echo of sneakers squeaking on linoleum—but today, the vibe felt charged, like everyone was on edge or excited about something. We passed the admin office, a bland setup with glass windows looking into a waiting area lined with uncomfortable plastic chairs, a reception desk piled with papers, and motivational posters plastered on the beige walls. What caught my eye was the cluster of girls inside—at least a dozen, all fidgeting and whispering, looking like they’d been rounded up for detention or something.
“What’s going on in there?” I asked Regina, nodding toward the office.
She shrugged, her perfect brows furrowing. “I have no idea.” Bold as ever, she didn’t hesitate—she marched right in, pulling me along like it was her domain. The door swung open, and as soon as I stepped inside, all hell broke loose. The girls squealed like a pack of excited fans, jumping up from their seats and trying to swarm me, their eyes lit up with that familiar lusty gleam I’d come to recognize from my pheromone curse—or blessing, depending on the day.
“Back off!” Regina snapped, her voice cutting through the chaos like a whip. She positioned herself in front of me, arms crossed, exuding that controlling aura that made everyone at school bow to her. The girls froze, murmuring apologies, and retreated a step, though their stares lingered hungrily on me.
Before I could catch my breath, I felt arms wrap around me from behind in a tight hug, nearly tackling me to the ground. “Chris!” Emily’s voice bubbled with excitement as she squeezed me, her petite body pressing against my back, those D-cup tits squishing into me. I turned in her embrace, and holy shit—she was dressed to kill in a micro mini skirt that barely covered her ass, the fabric riding up dangerously high, and a crop top with a neckline plunging so deep it showed off miles of cleavage. No bra, that was obvious—her nipples poked through the thin material like they were begging for attention. As for panties? I wasn’t sure, and part of me was afraid to ask, imagining her bare pussy just a whisper away under that skimpy skirt. “Can you believe that mean Mr. Guber wants me to cover up?” she pouted, batting her brown eyes at me.
I glanced around the office, taking in the scene—all the girls were decked out similarly, in tiny skirts, low-cut tops, and outfits that screamed “fuck me” more than “school appropriate.” It clicked then: they’d all dressed this way for me, trying to catch my eye with their sexy getups, but they’d gone too far and violated the dress code. Guber must’ve rounded them up like a herd of naughty schoolgirls.
Emily grinned mischievously at the group. “Let’s pose before Guber gets back!” The girls giggled and turned their backs to me in unison, bending over at the waist, skirts hiking up to flash ass cheeks and hints of what might be thongs—or nothing at all. They looked back over their shoulders, puckering their lips and blowing kisses in my direction, a chorus of flirty winks and smiles that had my cock twitching in my pants despite the public setting.
Regina clapped slowly, a mix of amusement and authority in her tone. “I must congratulate you all on your creative initiative to get Chris’s attention. Well done.” Then her voice sharpened. “However, you should have cleared this with me first. I do not appreciate such displays without my approval.”
The girls straightened up, looking dejected, murmuring apologies like scolded puppies. “Sorry, Regina...”
I stepped in, flashing a grin. “Don’t worry, ladies—I’ll give each of you a spanking later for your bad behavior.” That perked them right up, giggles erupting as they blushed and exchanged excited glances, the promise of my hand on their asses clearly a thrill.
I turned to Emily, still half-hugging me. “What happens now?”
She shrugged, her tits jiggling distractingly. “My mom’s coming to bring suitable clothes for me. Probably the same for the others—parents getting called in to fix our ‘wardrobe malfunctions.’”
I should probably bail. The last thing I needed was Guber storming in and blaming me for turning the school into a slut parade. “I should get out of here before he shows up,” I muttered to Regina, giving Emily a quick squeeze before heading for the door. Regina nodded, staying behind to make sure all the girls would get less revealing outfits—ever the queen bee, taking charge.
I pushed open the door to room 112, my Junior English classroom, and stepped inside, the familiar scent of old books hitting me right away. The room was your standard high school setup—rows of battered desks arranged in neat lines facing a scarred wooden teacher’s desk at the front, piled with stacks of papers and a dusty globe. Posters of famous authors and grammar rules adorned the off-white walls, and a large whiteboard stretched across the front, already scribbled with today’s agenda in Ms. Wardell’s looping handwriting. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows on one side, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor, where a few crumpled papers and pencil shavings littered the edges. Most seats were filled with students chatting or scrolling on their phones, but the bell hadn’t rung yet, so the vibe was still relaxed.
