When Nicole first saw her daddy's penis she knew what it was called but not much more. As she got older, it was that one accidental occasion that increasingly came to fascinate her, and, indeed, to infatuate her.
An Uncle Bob Story I was raised by my uncle and never knew my parents. A tradition we had was to relax at the end of the day in our bathrobes. As I grew up, the way I looked at him, sitting there with his legs exposed, watching something on TV, changed. It changed a lot. My first fantasies about men and sex were the result of Uncle Bob in his bathrobe. I had no idea those fantasies would some day come true.

I was flying the first week of April 2020 when this story came to me. Story of what happens on an overseas flight during the initial part of a pandemic. When you are one of the people the airline agrees to fly for the government. And the only other passengers are also considered special or are airline employees who don't have to work on the flight since there are only three passengers. A flight where pandemic fears remove all the rules of flying.
