Kristen o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o Man on a Car (MF, affair) by Unknown Author Some years ago, five, maybe seven, I was living with three other men in a four bedroom house near the "Beaches" area in Toronto. Although the "Beaches" is a trendy and expensive area, our house was in the white trash neighborhood sandwiched between the "trendy" Beaches and one of Toronto's chinatowns. The one located in the Broadview/Dundas area for those of you who know Toronto. Anyway, we were prone to having large parties in those days, and after a while began to have "theme" parties just to make them that much more interesting. One weekend we had a "Sacrifice to the Volcano God Party". This one was a little too extravagant (but still, not as extravagant as our "spoonful of shroomes" or "thunderdome" parties). We made a paper mache Volcano which continually erupted "lava punch". We dressed up as savages and awaited the arrival of eager virgins so that we could sacrifice them. A number of exotic consummables were involved in the proceedings. At that time one of my roommates, Reed, *knew* a lot of women, besides his steady girlfriend Anna. One of these women, Karen, was coming to the party, which presented a dilemma for Reed. Reed and Anna had one of these multi-year hot-cold on-again off-again mutually destructive relationships where both individuals sleep around while pretending not to notice the other's infidelity. The Reed-Anna relationship recently ended with Reed convicted of assault after breaking down some guy's door and beating him up because he was sleeping with Anna, who who happened to be there at the time. Anyway, I was asked to attempt to *occupy* Karen at the party, a responsibility I was more than happy to assume. Karen was a real looker. About 5'11'', slim, nice breasts, nice body, nice bum. Long, and I mean long, black hair. Everything Shauna (of alt.sex fame) would look for in a woman, if she were a man. And, bonus, she was pleasant and bright (although these were secondary considerations at the time). The intriguing part, though, was her wild side. "She's wild in bed", Reed told me. "She's incredible", he said. "She's got this thing about her car, eh", he said, "she likes to fuck on the hood. It's amazing." Karen had a white Corvette convertible. So I wanted her, and I wanted to take her in my "savage" outfit on the hood of her car on some country road outside of Toronto. BUT, she was a wild one. And we all know that the wild ones don't go out with "Mr. Nice Guy". They especially don't fuck Mr. Nice Guy on the hood of their white corvette after a "Sacrifice to the Volcano God Party". This was a job for "Mr. Dangerous", I thought, as I extravagantly painted my face and body to go with my savage outfit. First Encounter, My initial encounter with Karen was not auspicious. I think it was these first, idiotic, actions on my part that put Karen in a frame of mind for the events of much later that night. She phoned from a booth *just around the corner*, on Queen, for directions. When Reed heard where she was we thought of a joke. Why don't I whip out there and steal her car while Reed keeps her on the phone? I won't really steal the car, I'll just s-l-o-w-l-y drive away, with her running after her car, screaming! What fun! Some of you may think of this as childish and stupid, and of course you would be right. In fact, by this point you might think that I, personally, am childish and stupid. Perhaps this is true also. But then, I don't have time to worry about details like this. So I dashed around the corner and charged Karen's car, in my savage outfit. Karen was at the optimum angle, looking directly away from oncoming me and her car. It was straightforward to get in, and her car was even running! And then I discovered the car was occupied by one of Karen's friends. There I was leaping into the driver's seat of an expensive car, dressed as a savage from "Road Warrior", with theft my obvious intent, with a woman sitting there in the passenger side. Well, was there ever a lot of screaming. You never heard such screaming. Kicking too. Even, yes, even purse swinging. This woman had all limbs working and her vocal cords stretched to their limit. You don't ever want to be sort of high, in a savage outfit, pretending to steal an expensive car occupied by some woman you don't know on Queen street at 9:00 o'clock on a Saturday night in Toronto. Fortunately, I had met Karen a number of times before, and she knew who I was. She explained me to her friend and we were off to the party. Second Encounter, It's been so long that I am fuzzy on this one. All I remember is that at some point during the party, early on in fact, Karen and I went to get beer. We went in her car. This was all right. Thinking about wildly screwing her on the hood, I told her that I loved her car and could should she please drive real fast up and down the Don Valley Parkway. (By the way, Karen stayed straight and was OK to drive. I have this thing about drunk/stoned drivers) As we were driving along, and I don't think we hit the Parkway this time round, I decided to tease her as we went. I suggested we play a game called "distraction". She would drive and I would "distract" her. You know, caress her thighs. Slowly unbutton her blouse, blow in her ear, other things. You know. Well, we didn't even start the game, as she wanted to get back to the party. That was okay by me, this was the *initial foray*. It was obvious, risky, and didn't meet with instant rejection. In particular, she clearly wasn't repulsed by the idea. More effort was required, but the potential was there. On the Road, Karen and I got along well, we danced and talked, but nothing else. Finally, it was time to for Karen to go home. She lived in Belleville, about 95 minutes drive from Toronto. Did I want to go with her? she asked. Holy Fuck!?! More than an hour driving alone with Karen, through the country, with the hood of her car dangling in front of us, enticing, beckoning, the whole way? "I'll pack my bag!" (Don't want to wake up in Belleville with just my savage outfit). Off we went. It didn't take long before we were playing "distraction". I waited until we were well east of Oshawa, so that a country road would be handy for imminent fucking, and then I began to tease her. Now, it's very awkward to tease someone driving a Corvette on the 401, but I did my best. Things I could do easily were nibble and blow on her ear, gentle massage of her breasts, I teased her nipples to arousal with my fingers. I massaged her thighs and leaned over to bite and kiss her neck, blowing warm breath on the upper part of her chest. This didn't last long, as soon enough, one of those roadside pitstops came along, and we quickly parked in the most inconspicuous, secluded spot. Karen had a sleeping bag packed with her traveling stuff and we promptly had it out on the grass in front of her car. We then, as I remember it, stood there and slowly undressed each other. I love undressing my partners. With Karen, I started with gentle kissing and caressing of her face, sucking lightly on her lips and then brushing her closed eyelids with soft kisses. I bit her ears and neck gently, alternating between a soft, caressing activity combined with gently blowing warm breath along the sides of her neck, and rougher, quicker paced, biting and nibbling (I do this a lot because I like it). Don't think that my hands were idle. I held Karen close and tight, I squeezed and caressed her tight little bum, I massaged her breasts and gently pinched her nipples (which were more than slightly erect at this point). I stroked her cheeks and neck with my fingers as I kissed her. Of course, I also took off her clothes. In no time, Karen was naked, and so was I. Karen seemed to have fallen, as *so many* women are wont to, into the passive role. She closed her eyes and let her head fall back as I moved my attention down, biting and kissing first her neck and then the area around her collar bone. As we laid down I massaged her breasts with my hands as I sucked and nibbled on her nipples. "Not here," she said, opening her eyes and looking at me. "Let's do it on the hood," she added, quite eagerly I might say. Well alright. This would make a great story for the boys. We regularly told each other everything, back at the house, right down to the gory details. Karen and I moved the sleeping bag onto the hood. Karen then went into her pack again and came up with some nylons. "Could you tie me up?" she asked, coyly. This was a surprise, but my brain reacted with its usual lightening speed and crystal clarity. "What?" "I want to be tied on my back. I'd really like it, I don't know why but I would." Karen, slender and naked in the night air, was awful hard to resist when she smiled awkwardly, her body language, arms tight to her chest, showing mild embarrassment while simultaneously radiating raw sexuality. "Sure," I said, taking the nylons. "How are we going to do this?" She explained that we could use the nylons to tie her arms to the insides of the car door. As my costume was primarily long strips of furry black cloth wrapped around hockey pads (you know, the road warrior look), we had plenty of extra fabric to tie her legs to the front bumper. I should mention that I was carrying around a roll of black masking tape to keep various parts of the costume together, as with all the sweaty dancing my home-brew costume fell apart every hour on the hour (I don't sew, eh!). But of course I didn't use the tape on Karen. Woman on a Car, It didn't take long to truss Karen up, especially as I wasn't overly concerned with preventing her escape or some such silliness. I bound her loosely so she had ample freedom of movement and made sure she was comfortable on the blanket. Party Time. Let's Rock. I climbed on to the hood, kneeling with my legs between hers, spread as they were, and surveyed her lush body, smiling. I was amused. She just lay there expectantly, smiling too, although I'm sure hers was a different type of amusement. Having no experience with women bound spread eagled to hoods of cars, improvisation was called for. I decided that massage and teasing would be the best approach, so I began be massaging her legs and thighs. Perhaps not the best place to start, but I enjoyed the vantage point I had, kneeling, from which to view Karen's body, her face, her body language and facial expressions. It was really unfortunate that we had no wine that I could pour over her body and lick off. I would have liked that. As I massaged her thighs I decided that I would build anticipation by describing things to her that I might or might or not do. I generally dislike talking like this because my sexual vocabulary abounds with words that seem to me to be crude and vulgar as opposed to tempting, seductive and exotic. "Relax, Karen" I said. "Just relax, and imagine the feeling of my soft, warm tongue, caressing you", I whispered, slowly, while I massaged the inside of her thighs and belly, bending to kiss her thighs and, fleetingly, to insert my tongue gently into her quickly moistening pussy (I hate this word). I thought about ravaging her, taking her hard and quick, but I associate this kind of sex with manual laborers, you know, the kind you see doing roadside construction, muscles bulging, body glistening with sweat. Not that fast and hard is bad, but I'm afraid I've got a slow hand. I kissed her thighs again and, holding my body so that it lightly touched hers, I swept my face and chest gently along her upper body, starting with my cheek flat against her stomach, rubbing against her like a friendly cat, and slowly moving up towards her neck, kissing her softly all the while and blowing gently on her smooth tanned skin. I held my body so that my skin touched hers lightly, wherever possible. "Mmmmmmmmmm", I purred, as I kissed and bit her neck, "imagine how I'd feel inside you, strong and hot". As I kissed her neck I maneuvered my cock to the entrance to her pussy. She was on the <B>pill</B> so I didn't need the obligatory condom break. Still keeping myself so that my skin just gently touched hers, I slowly inserted the head of my cock into her pussy, and then withdrew it. I did this many times, while kissing Karen full on the mouth, biting her lips tenderly. I timed my biting and kissing to coincide with my teasing her with my cock: kissing and biting hard as I inserted, and then stopping to smile at her and teasingly ask "do you like that?" when I withdrew. Well, we'd gone too far too fast: I hadn't yet demonstrated my prowess at oral sex. After inserting my cock deeply into her pussy, deeply just once, an activity that felt extraordinarily good (I love that tight, warm, moist feeling on my cock), I withdrew. She protested a little, by way of squirming, when she realized I was stopping, and then I proceeded to kiss and nibble my way back down her body. Massaging her breasts for a while, and sucking on her nipples. I moved up a little bit so that I was able to brush my cock along her stomach and breasts, and I stroked her with it for a short time. "I think I'd like to caress you with my tongue", I whispered. "I want to taste you, kiss you, and see you move to my attentions". I then worked my way towards her pussy, kissing, licking and biting the lower edge of her ribs, her stomach and hips, down to her knees and back up by way of the inside of her thighs, stroking and squeezing her body with my hands and arms. And then I began to caress her seriously with my tongue. Her hips were certainly beginning to rock and small animal noises were coming from out of her mouth. I caressed her in waves. I would gently start, with long, slow, sweeping movements of my tongue. I would occasionally probe deeper and, as Karen responded I would pick up the pace with faster, stronger strokes. As Karen began to move more rapidly, as if towards an orgasm, I would just stop, kiss her and nibble on her thighs until her movements subsided. I did this for awhile, sometimes moving up to passionately kiss her, forcing my tongue deeply into her mouth. She may have a number of orgasms during these proceedings. I'm not sure, but other women have told me that they've orgasmed more than once while I thought they were still "building". I didn't know to check for a skin flush: so I relied on movement and moisture to check her progress. Finally, I felt she was almost teased enough, so I moved above her for the coup de grace. I kissed and bit her face roughly, but not so as to hurt her, and asked; "Do you want me?" I thought that this was the nature of the game, having never played before and assuming that I should play along with the bondage bit as corny as some of it sounded. She smiled through clenched teeth, shook her head and tried not to say yes. A little bit of fight still in her, eh? Alright, I lay down so as to rest lightly on top of her and reached down and took my cock in my hand. I took the head and starting rubbing it along the now, very wet groove between her legs, being sure to carefully stimulate the clitoral region on the upwards stroke. She responded dramatically to this new tactic and began thrusting her hips towards me, biting me, kissing me, and making those same animal noises, only now with more passion. I asked her again if she wanted me and she groaned out a hoarse yes. This was my cue to insert my cock deeply and begin pumping for that immense orgasm that I new was coming. As Karen thrashed on the car and I pumped her wildly I got cocky and forced my mouth to her ears and yelled "Scream Karen, Scream!" to encourage her to lose more control than she already had. She promptly got louder, but I couldn't get her to scream. Then I was unable to hold myself back and came with one of those legendary, earth- shaking orgasms. Karen didn't waste any time and had an orgasm of her own, leaving us to crumble back onto the hood. Man on a Car, I relaxed and lay beside her on the hood of the car. It wasn't that comfortable, lying sideways on the hood, despite the sleeping bag. Karen quickly surprised me: "Now it's your turn" she said, still tied to her car. "What do you mean" I said, rather dumbly, already knowing what she meant. "Now I get to tie you up" she said. Her lovely smile was so innocent and engaging. Why was I getting that sinking fear feeling in my belly? I protested a little (as I untied her, because she now definitely wanted to be unbound) but she was very convincing in arguing that "fair is fair". After all, I'd probably enjoy her "imaginative ministrations" (not her exact words, but she made it sound like it would be fun). So, I lay down on the hood, naked, on my back. She tied me up with her nylons and the strips from my costume. When she started using the black masking tape I became concerned. Somehow, it was different when I was on top and she was on the bottom. I hadn't realized before, it just didn't occur to me, that I'd have to reciprocate. The fear feeling was taking up serious residence in my belly. "Look, we don't need all that tape, I'm not going anywhere", I said, as she wrapped the tape many times around the black fabric that used to be my costume. Karen was careful so the tape didn't touch my skin as she wrapped it over the nylon and costume strips. It served to hold me quite secure. Of course, 'dangerous guys' don't show any fear in situations like this, and so I didn't either. 'Dangerous guys' just go with the flow. She told me it had to be 'real' and I laid back and tried to act cool and froody. After all, hadn't I just tied her up? Before very long I suspected -dreaded- I was bound so I couldn't get free even if I *really* wanted too. She laughed and smiled and asked me to "O.K., try it now!". So I did. I tried to *casually* attempt to break free. As I feared, I couldn't. Amazingly, I was worried about appearances. Despite the fact we had just fucked for an hour, and that I'd casually known Karen for months, tied as I was I seemed to trust her less than I had tmoments ago when I was free. But I remained calm and told myself that this was no different than with me on top, and that I should be relaxing and enjoying what was obviously going to come next. I should dispel thoughts of police or truckers showing up to check us out and show the same self-confidence that Karen had when she was bound. Anyway, Karen seemed delighted. I was already erect as a result of the physical contact associated with her tying me up, and now she started to tease me. She was far rougher than I was. That was good. She bit me harder, she kissed me harder and she thrust her tongue into my mouth so that the word 'eager' just doesn't seem applicable. She fondled my cock with her hands and caressed my body with her breasts. She gently started sucking on my cock as I became harder and my hips started rocking. I was enjoying myself to no end. Then she knelt astride my chest with what I'll describe now (poetic license) as a mysterious, devilish, knowing smile, looking down at me. Suddenly, her expression changed to mock surprise, as if some wonderful idea had just struck her, and she looked around with an exaggerated intensity. "You know what, I think there's a better spot just around the corner!" she said, looking off towards another secluded spot. It took only a second for this to sink in. She looked down at me with a *huge* grin. I tried to pretend she was kidding. She quickly gathered our stuff and threw it in her car. "Hey look Karen, you can't drive around with me tied to your hood!" I exclaimed. I started struggling now for real. Although, image *is* everything, I tried to look cool and froody as I tried to loose myself. No way could I break free. Karen came back to the hood, leaned over to kiss me, said "It's only a few yards" and, smiling gleefully, still naked, got into her car. As she started it up and backed out onto the little service road (just a curvy little path through the heavily treed picnic area) I was definitely feeling what you could describe as "intense emotion". Some of you might think "well, a few yards in the middle of the night, what harm can it do?" These thoughts didn't console me as we slowly drove to the other spot. I mean, this was a *public* place and I was *naked* and *bound*, tied to the hood of some woman's car. Karen asked if I was O.K. I said I'd be more O.K. if she untied me. She said "not yet", she hadn't had her turn yet. You can't imagine the feeling of looking up at the stars on a hot summer night, bound stark naked, exposed, moving in the open. (Well, since this is alt.sex.bondage, maybe you can!) In what was really no time at all we were parked in another spot and Karen was back on the hood. "My, it seems that you liked that!!!" she said, observing the fact that my cock was now in the "raging" hard-on stage. For some reason, I seemed to find fear sexually exciting. I still do find it stimulating. In later experiments with pain and bondage (yes, I become more deviant with every passing year) I discovered (in fact, I quickly discovered) that neither do anything for me at all, in and of themselves, but they certainly help as instruments of fear. Anyway, I wasn't the only one who was excited. Our little drive had Karen in a frenzy and she knelt above my head and rammed her pussy down on my face. Despite the fact that I could barely gasp for breath, I employed my tongue to the best of my abilities, until it ached and I could hardly move it (I didn't have to though, her gyrations were all that were required). She must have had at least one orgasm, and maybe more, before she changed positions. She sat astride my waist, inserted my cock in her soaking pussy (I hate words like "raging" and "soaking", but I'm not very original and they do apply here). She was a wild fuck, humping up and down, with furious body motion, her long hair swinging round and round. What an orgasm I had, fucking incredible! I don't know about other guys, but I find nothing more exciting than a frenzied woman sexually mauling me! She was still going after I'd come, and I stayed hard for as long as I could. Finally, Karen finished, gasping and moaning, and stretched out on top of me. We lay there for a while catching our breath, and then I said something like "oh fuck, that was great" and started to make little movements to signal my desire to be untied. She ignored these signals, and after a little while began to kiss my neck and upper chest. Then she sat up, astride my waist, and started rubbing my upper body. We were both covered in sweat, and she licked some off my chest around my nipples. While I enjoyed this attention I was now quite ready to be untied. "Look, my arms are stiff" I said, with an appealing smile, or so I hoped, straining with one arm so she would take the hint. Karen just smiled and said "Let's go for a drive?" HOLY FUCK! My face must have shown my shock and distress, nay, absolute terror. I lost my cool and froody exterior for a second and then regained my composure. "Forget it Karen" I said, "there's no fucking way I'm going for another drive!". I tried to sound confident, stern and angry despite my position of weakness. Karen started to rub her pussy against my cock. She bit my neck, very hard and began to excite herself. I began to get real worried, not to mention excited. Karen was lush and sensuous. "I won't drive very fast," she said, "We'll turn off at the first chance. There's no one on the road at this hour," she said while she moved her body seductively on top of mine. She started to tease me expertly, pinching my nipples, rubbing her pussy against my cock and, what really got to me mentally, tantalizing me with her incredibly seductive smile. It as at this point that I realized she meant the *highway* and not the picnic site. However, I was stupid enough to believe she asking my permission, and this served to relax me a little, not that being tense served any purpose. Well, there's *always* someone on the 401, and anyway, I just wasn't interested. Terrified, yes. Intensely aroused, yes. Interested, no. As Karen was still smiling, expertly manipulating me, I began to loose the old cool. I sort of got angry. At least I tried to. I thought this would be wise. I would let her know she'd be in deep shit if she didn't untie me. I attempted to be utterly convincing in my effort to portray myself as a man capable of horrible violence, who would only be able to restrain himself if he was immediately freed. She just giggled and laughed, sitting on me as I squirmed, failing miserably in my tough guy act (I'm not a tough guy). Her ministrations had me so excited now that it severely limited my repertoire of coercive expressions. She got up and got in her car. But not without stopping to savor the moment. At this point I was really worried. I *knew* that physically, she wouldn't hurt me. I also, in my mind, didn't believe I was in any physical danger. BUT, Karen was overdosing on adrenalin or something. She was making those jerky, fidgety motions that children make when they're terribly excited and can't maintain their composure. Her smile started to look maniacal. This added to my mortal fear of people (e.g. truckers, police, bike gangs, as realistic or unrealistic as these fears may be, I had them bad) seeing me. She pulled out and headed for the 401. At this point, I still entertained the fantasy that she was going to stop at the last instant, back up, and let it go at that. "Here we go!", she screamed as we pulled out onto the highway, the wind rushing past my naked body, me desperately trying to focus on the stars as if mankind didn't exist at all. "It's just like streaking!" she yelled. Karen hadn't bothered with her clothes and was stark naked as well. You can really feel a car's power when you're tied to the hood, with the engine throbbing inches below you. I remember clearly thinking "I'm glad I didn't drop acid". It was going around early in the evening, but I abstained on the grounds that I might have had to talk to police later, and I hate talking to police when I'm stoned on acid. As the car accelerated to a cruising speed, which I don't think was very fast, I was rendered speechless. When I go on a roller coaster, I'm always speechless just at the top, when the car goes over the precipice, just before plunging down the track. My stomach knots up and my body goes numb. This happened to me as we got on the highway, but it didn't go away. I fancied that the wind blowing past my face was somehow sucking the breath out of my lungs and that I was suffocating. I managed to convince myself this wasn't so and began to breath slowly and as deeply as possible. My penis shriveled up to the size of a small crayon. Meanwhile, Karen was howling: "Yeeeeeeee-Haaaaaaaaa", or some similar noise. She was as excited as I've ever seen a woman, or ever expect to see one. If I thought driving around the parking lot tied to the hood was "interesting", zooming down the highway was a different kind of experience. Thinking back, I wish I'd tried to enjoy it, but I didn't, I just hoped it would end. I was seriously worried now as to the extent of Karen's insanity, and what else she might do with me. Fortunately, we pulled off the highway onto a sideroad. She parked about 800 meters in from the 401 and leaped out of the car, and back onto the hood. This road was fairly open, Karen was making no attempt to conceal our activities. I found the sight of her naked body arousing, but not arousing enough to overcome the effects of our little drive, and the exposed nature of our activities. "I want to fuck you, badly" she moaned, as she began to work on me, kissing and biting, rubbing and squeezing, using her whole body including both legs. I began to feel as if I was being raped, as there now seemed to be no element of consent involved on my part, but my body betrayed me, and I responded to her by becoming aroused and hard. Her technique at this point was just furious energy. She got my only just hardened cock inside her and began pumping me like I don't know what. She was laying with her weight full on me, raking my sides with her fingernails, her arms squeezing me, her legs thrashing every once in awhile to get a better grip around my own. She had her eyes closed and was drenched in sweat, panting, gritting her teeth, and spitting out "come-on, come-on, come-on" to encourage me. I'd rarely seen the kind animal emotional intensity that Karen was radiating, and the close physical contact made it seem all the more ferocious. Of course, all you college students might be thinking that this would be a desirable situation to be in. However, I'd had two goes at Karen already, that, the crazy drive on the 401, and my growing concern that Karen had lost control had me wondering if I'd bit off more than I could chew. Karen's feverish pumping had brought her to what I has assumed was orgasm, it was hard to tell, but she was still grinding me into the car like so much meat. I had no control of rhythm at all, and Karen was on a rhythm of her own: off what I needed to come easily. My cock was aching now, and the pain began to bother me. Despite this fact, I began to find the whole situation intensely arousing, it was just impossible not to be effected by Karen's passion. There seemed to be this positive reinforcement factor kick in: I felt myself uncontrollably moving towards orgasm, and this very fact aroused me more, in a vicious circle that led to me bucking my hips up and down, lifting Karen up a couple feet off the car, and then down, at an increasing pace. Karen sat up and dug her hands into my chest, almost ripping off my nipples, I bled afterwards from numbers of places. I started to grunt with exertion, pumping a woman up and down in the air with your hands and legs bound is damn hard work. Finally, I came, holding Karen up in the air, and she came too, almost screaming. I flopped down and she on top of me. We rested a while and then, without any prompting, Karen untied me. We drove to her apartment, making light conversation, drank some wine, and crashed. I slept until the following evening, when I went home on the bus. One thing led to another, and Karen and I never fucked again. Too bad.
