Memoirs of a Greedy Girl
Jump to: Newest in thread
How do it all start..little miss riding cock sat at her desk thinking back to the beginning. She had given her youngest over to the final part of his education, University. Her parental contract had reduced down to a zero hours, we will call you if we need you basis. So where did that leave her? At home with HIM and no more excuses to hide behind when he wanted her to do THINGS to him. Nasty, kinky THINGS that she didn't understand or even want to think about.
Shall I continue?...... |

First visit...
Little Miss riding cock came home from work to find HIM sat there with a big silly grin on his face. "Oh, so you went then?" "Yes" he said. "It was brilliant, can I tell you all about it?"
HE had come to her the other day and said that he had seen a place in town that did full body waxing and HE wanted to try it. She considered it, weighing up the mess and inconvenience of using those silly wax strips from the chemist or razors and foam. To have someone take on the horrible job for a few quid and keep HIM out of her hair, it had got to be worth it!
So they sat down with a cuppa and he told her about the club. It was run by a lovely lady called Elizabeth. Elizabeth was very friendly and seemed to know the HE wanted to wear panties and stockings and had even let HIM put some on! Little miss riding cock had been having difficulty accepting that HE wanted to wear such items in bed with her! What was that all about?
HE spoke about the club and the fact there were other men who wanted to wear ladies clothes. All very confusing! But HE was happy, smooth and hairless and not pestering her for sex! That was a bonus!
Then he dropped the bombshell! HE wanted to go back again and HE wanted little miss riding cock to come with him! "No way" she said!
More???...

Yes please - I'm intrigued. The path to greedy girl is shrouded at this point and I'd like to see where it goes.
Interesting stylistic choice, capitalising his pronouns. Also intrigued about that . |

THE CLUB.
It was the day, she had finally relented and agreed to go. HE had been a couple of times and had come home talking about the place and the fun he had been having. She had to admit she was intrigued and also that he was a much happier person. The final clincher was that there was a sauna. She had been to a sauna in the past and enjoyed it. So with all the "what ifs" at a manageable level they headed off for the club.
Going into the club was the scariest few moments of her life..what to expect? Who would be there? In through the door into the reception...to be met by a cheery hello from Elizabeth! She gave them locker keys and chatted away. It seemed sort of normal like going to the swimming baths..not a swingers club.
They went in through the door, found their lockers..and she looked around for a changing cubicle! Oh no he said..you just get undressed in front of the lockers!
Ok she thought..I have got this far..so with some careful shuffling under the towel Elizabeth had given her, off came her clothes, into the locker they went. With the towel securely wrapped around she was ready...for what she wasn't sure..but she was ready.!
Now don't think little miss riding cock was a prude, she had always enjoyed sex. Sex for her should be romantic, spontaneous, passionate, just like the movies and books. Sex had become confusing with HIM wanting strange things doing to him..wanting her to be a Mistress....but then telling her what to do. Sex had become a big problem that always ended up as an arguement whenever it was talked about and she had been able to hide behind the parent role to avoid it, but now there was nowhere to hide. Recently when HE had discovered this strange place a lot of the arguing had stopped and he was a much nicer, happier person.
HE took her for a tour of the club...steam room, showers, sauna, dungeon...! Dungeon!! That was a scary looking place..she didn't like the look of that. So they went back upstairs and headed for the hot tub. The club, fortunately was very quiet ! In order to use the hot tub it ment being naked in front of everyone..including some men in the club. Oh well , what the hell! Off went the towel and in she got! She felt fat..and hoped no one would comment on that fact. Whilst sitting in the hot tub with HIM she started to notice the men around looking on! Oh dear she thought, I hope I don't look too much like a beached whale in here. Anyway people were chatting and laughing as normal and soon she forgot she was naked in public.
After a while in the hot tub she decided to try the sauna as this is what she had come to the club for. Bravely she stood up in the hot tub and stepped out, on doing so she spotted some admiring glances at her naked body!
So she put the towel around her and went over to the sauna. It was lovely..just as she remembered when she used to go. They sat down and started to enjoy the heat. Then the door opened and the two men they had been talking to came in and sat down with them. Rather close. The chatting continued..but she noticed that the men...both sitting on their towels..not under them had hard cocks, so did HE! She tried to concentrate on the conversation..but she was fascinated by the cocks..her eyes just wouldn't stay away from them! One of the men looked at her and asked if he could touch her breast....she said yes. It was really sexy especially with HIM watching and approving...she was sure she saw his cock twitch at the man lent across to fondled her breasts. It felt so naughty but oh so good. She felt stirrings in her vagina that she had forgotten about!
The man's cock was rock hard and he sat there in the middle of the sauna wanking himself..she was shocked..she was fascinated and she was incredibly horny!
The other guy then lent over from the other side and continued where the other man had left off. She was so hot..not just from the sauna..she was on fire inside! The man looked across at HIM and a silent visual agreement seemed to pass between them. He took her hand and lead her across the club to a room. He took off her towel..and she saw what he had for her! Oh my God she thought as she lay down...
He put on the condom and slid up inside her wet pussy with his big hard cock. She was more than ready for him and within minutes she was cumming. At first she tried to keep quiet as she had at home..then suddenly it didn't matter and she screamed the walls down!
Afterwards he lay beside her...laughing at her in a friendly way saying how much he had enjoyed it. They chatted for a bit in the room..he was in no hurry to rush off. He started touching her again and his cock was getting hard..so he put on another condom and fucked her again..but taking his time with her..building her to another orgasm. This was even better and much noisier!
As they left the room HE was there watching and smiling He had been listening watching and his cock was hard.
She freshened up in the shower and came back through to be greeted by her husband with a lovely hard cock. He led her back into the same room and bent her over and fucked her like they used to fuck when they met. It felt amazing!
They left the club together like the pair of new lovers they had been when they met, glowing with that inner glow that can only come from good sex!

Back Again!
For the next few days, little miss riding cock was going around with a silly grin on her face everytime she thought of her adventure at the club. She couldn't talk about it to anyone but her husband so it became their shared secret..and she wanted to go back. She loved being able to use the sauna and hot tub..and the thrill of being naked! That was very naughty, such a turn on!
Like a lot of women she had put on a little weight over the years and had been sold this idea that women needed to be slim to be happy! So she trudged off to the diet clubs always losing five pounds each week, the cost of attending!
The men in the club had found her sexy and hadn't really been bothered about what size she was! This was a revelation. The next visit to the club was organised. Little miss riding cock had been looking forward to it. She had a fantasy about being a greedy girl..she had shared it with her husband. She wanted to be the centre of attention, to have a queue of men wanting to fuck her one after another. The fantasy was something she thought about when had a private moment to herself on the bed...doing something ladies never admit to..but they all do!
She enjoyed the hot tub and sauna and the glances of a few men who were in the club. One of them asked if he could play with her. They went to a private room but left the door open. He put a condom on and fucked her. Behind him, waiting his turn was another man..he came in and fucked her..and then another. This was her fantasy coming true! It felt very sexy on one hand to have this power but on the other hand, as with all fantasies there was the practical side of life. Were they making sure their condoms were on? That one had been a bit rough with her tits. She wanted to come up for air. This hadn't been part of the fantasy!
Now there was a new T Girl who had started coming to the club, Suzie Smackabum. Suzie was in the club that day and could see the situation. She stopped the queue of men and asked them to step back and give the lady a break! She fetched Little miss riding cock a glass of water. Then Suzie said, you have been a very naughty girl..bend over...pointing to a nearby couch, got little miss riding cock to bend over and spanked her!! Little miss riding cock was outraged!! How dare she!! But secretly she also found it very sexy as all the men were standing around watching!
Before she knew it Suzie had sorted the men out making sure they were wearing condoms...inviting them to slide inside as she was bent over.. making sure no one was being selfish. Little miss riding cock also had a cock in each hand..and was having lots of fun. Together they worked through the queue. It was good fun!
After the play little miss riding cock went round to the steam room to relax. Suzie declined the invitation as she thought it might cause her makeup to run. Miss riding cock sat in the steam room enjoying a moment to herself when a tall man came in and sat with her. He said how much he had enjoyed watching her and that she had played with his cock as he watched. The conversation hot naughier and one thing led to another in the steam room, he was very nice. Soon he was stood in front of her with a very hard cock. Time for a private play! They went back to the private room, this time shutting the door. He went down on her and gave her some lovely oral. Then he put on a condom and slipped up inside her and gave her a good fucking making her cum..crying out without caring who was listening. It was amazing, so sexy and the perfect end to a fantastic day.
Later on when they got home she told her husband all about it. So he gave her a good fucking for being such a naughty wife! |

Greedy Night
Little miss riding cock and husband found themselves visiting the club more and more frequently. They were enjoying the social side as much as the sex. The regular visitors to the club were friendly and made them feel welcome. There was a gentleman who regularly visited the club to use the facilities, but he always kept an eye out for any new ladies attending the club. He soon spotted little miss riding cock and started to give her some attention. After checking with husband that it was ok he took her into a room. He proved to be very experienced and very good at giving a lady pleasure in all ways possible. He had her crying out from his oral skills and when he fucked her it was fantastic. She came out of the room with jelly legs, but she was hooked and wanted more!
Then New Years Eve loomed up, now usually this was an evening of watching the box and drinking too much. Waking up up to hear the chimes of Big Ben then off to bed. Woo!
However it was going to be a bit different this year..parental duties were not required, in fact kids were out doing their own thing! It was decided, they would go to the club to see what was happening there! The club was busy. Suzie Smackabum had turned up for the party, it looked like being a good night! Little miss riding cock was starting to get a bit of a following. Suzie had known she was going to the club and had put something on fab about her. So the night went on and little miss riding cock was finding herself getting a lot of attention! She was enjoying herself and taking the guys into a private playroom for some fun! Some of them she had met before. Others were new to her. She came out of the room to find another young man stood wrapped in a towel, he asked very nicely if he could come in with her.
She liked him on sight..he was very cute in a cheeky way. And he was a very good lover. He did things with his tongue and his fingers that were amazing. Before she knew it she was really wet so when he fucked her he had her cumming like she hadn't so far that evening! Wow..he was good. Afterwards they had a little chat and she found out a bit more about him...and decided to keep him in mind for future!
So the evening went on, everyone was having fun. Suzie was going around making sure everyone was enjoying themselves..being the life and soul of the party. This was Suzie's forte, she seemed to have a way with people. Getting the shy ones to start chatting..sending the nice ones off to play with little miss riding cock. There was one guy who was painfully shy with everyone. Suzie and little miss riding cock got him talking, he went into the room with her. He was really nervous. So they had sex and he came really quickly. He then told her that it was his first time! And that he had enjoyed it so much could he do it again? Judging by how shy he was she was inclined to believe him. So she let him do it again..it didn't take him long to be ready!
It was a fantastic night. They saw in the new year in the usual fashion except that new year kisses got a bit more serious. Little miss riding cock started to get a little more adventurous, she got chatting to a couple of guys who were friends. She took them both into the room together..this was something new..being shared between 2 friends. So she had one guy licking her pussy while she was sucking his friends cock. This was really sexy. All 3 of them enjoyed it with the 2 guys wanking themselves off over her body. Everyone had fun!
Little miss riding cock and husband left at about 2.00 am. When they were home they sat and talked about the evening! She added up how many men had been in the room with her! 16, Wow, she definitely had earned her Greedy girl stripes! She did have to admit, she started the New Year with a bit of a sore fanny!!

Sauna Time!
The night of 16 was a naughty secret for her. She couldn't tell anyone, only her husband and he had heard it enough thanks! She smiled to herself whenever she thought about it. It was getting a little bit addictive, they were finding all sorts of excuses to go back to the club. There was something else happening too, she was finding she was enjoying being a woman! Instead of feeling that the only way to happiness was to loose weight and be slim, fitting into some impossible ideal weight that a diet club specified! She started to enjoy and embrace her curves. Men were saying how much they loved them! She was finding curvy was sexy! Lying naked in the sauna was very sexy! Especially when the young cheeky man from new years eve had come over to the club one evening. Suzie Smackabum had posted on fab that little miss riding cock was there! He stepped into the sauna with her...and sat next to her chatting. He had a towel around him, she could see his growing erection as they chatted. He reached out and touched her leg...then he asked if he could massage her feet. "Ok" she said, " if you want to". He took her foot and started to massage it. It felt nice, she didn't have ticklish feet! He lifted her foot to his mouth and started to suck her toes. She was a little surprised but it felt good. As she watched, the effect on him was amazing! His cock was rock hard. The towel had slipped off and she could tell by his face and breathing that he was incredibly turned on. He started to kiss her leg..then before she knew it he was licking her pussy. It was incredibly hot in the sauna..and they were both so turned on. It felt like they were going to ignite. "Come on," she said. "We need a room!" In the room he lay back on the bed..rock solid. She had grabbed a handful of condoms as she went in the room. Before she knew it she was sat on his hard cock taking it right up inside . She leaned forward a bit and he started fucking her with quick little thrusts from his hips. Then she sat back on him pushing him down on the bed, she leaned back and started rubbing her clit. She was so turned on. She made herself cum in this position. He then pushed her forward, took her tits in his mouth and began thrusting her from underneath. When they both came it was fantastic. He thrust and shot his load as she screamed the walls down.
Afterwards they lay back exhausted but laughing and chatting with the exhilaration of it all!
All too soon it was time to get dressed and go! Suzie did come and find her and ask if her man had been any good? The smile on little miss riding cocks face said it all!
Later on at home as she spoke to her husband he did say that half the club had heard them and that he was pleased she had enjoyed herself. He had been enjoying himself downstairs in the dungeon fulfilling some of his fantasies!

I do love the idea that you became confident in yourself through all of this. Confidence is sexy and, while I can't speak for all men, I think we are generally more appreciative of a multitude of female forms than many women fear. |

Suzie Smackabum!
Little miss riding cock was enjoying her secret double life. It was a release for all the sexual tension that had existed before. She was getting on so much better with her husband at home. They were both much happier. At the club she was starting to get friendly with the T Girl, Suzie Smackabum who was often at the club when they were visiting. Suzie was confident, knew exactly what Suzie wanted, very kinky and a lot of fun to be around. On a more serious side Suzie was also very comfortable with who Suzie was. Suzie enjoyed dressing up and making the most of her appearance. Wigs, make-up, the sexiest of underwear and kinky little dresses and skirts. But Suzie was also happy to be a man and did not feel the need to change sex or anything like that. It was pure escapism! There were other transgender people using the club who did want to make the change to their life and gender. As with all things, there were varying degrees. It was an interesting insight and challenged some of her original preconceptions about cross dressers.
Little miss riding cock was finding that Suzie was good fun to have around at the club and began to show some interest in Suzie's activities. Suzie specialised in what she called Sensual domination. Little miss riding cock sat in the dungeon watching as Suzie came in with a man who wanted to play. She took him over to the cross on the wall and handcuffed him with his hands above his head. She then tied a blindfold over his eyes. She rubbed some oil into his bottom. Little miss riding cock was fascinated so she came over to get a better look. Suzie Smackabum then got a paddle and preceded to spank his arse for him. Little miss riding cock was shocked to see his cock getting hard. Suzie indicated for her to join in the play. Little miss riding cock began to massage the man's shoulders and back..running her oiled hands up and down. In between Suzie spanked him as little miss riding cock stood back. They worked as a team..massaging him then spanking him. The guy was rock solid and moaning with pleasure. Then Suzie started to play with his nipples. Little miss riding cock joined in, she rubbed them and tweaked them, then Suzie applied nipple clamps. The man was moaning with pleasure, little miss riding cock couldn't help herself. She ran her fingers down his cock and cupped his balls. The then ran her fingers over his bottom and into his arse crack, lightly brushing his rim. His reaction was amazing, he was so turned on! He stood there twitching with the sensations. It was so sexy she could feel herself getting turned on!
Suzie was also very turned on with a very hard cock as she watched little miss riding playing with his arse and balls.
Suzie undid his hand cuffs, took off his blindfold and turned him around! He stood with a rock solid cock facing them both! The sexual tension in the room was electric. Little miss riding cock watched as Suzie got down on her knees and began sucking his cock for him! Suzie was good, she got him almost to the point of cumming then stopped leaving him gasping and wanting more. She stood up and whispered in his ear that he needed to calm down. So they stood back for a moment as he caught his breath. Suzie made sure he didn't touch his cock to wank it. Once he had calmed down a bit Suzie invited Little miss riding cock to take his cock. She cupped his balls and wanked him, making him hard again. She bent forward and took his cock in her mouth. She could feel his excitement building. Suzie had put on a condom, she got little miss riding cock to lift her bottom and Suzie slid her hard cock inside. Oh it felt good! Little miss riding cock found herself spit roasted between two cocks! It was so horny! Suzie thrust her. She felt the man's cock twitch in her mouth. She was going to cum! She took his cock out of her mouth, he shot his load over her face as Suzie spunked off behind her! Wow wow wow. That was so hot!
Later on that evening at home with her husband they talked about the club. He agreed that the play had been very hot and that he had really enjoyed watching her! |

An interesting insight into Suzie. She sounds like she was a fantastic mentor for Little Miss Riding Cock.
I must admit the description of the spit roast turned me on most. In this case mostly to do with my own sexual predilections, I think . |

"THE CLUB.
It was the day, she had finally relented and agreed to go. HE had been a couple of times and had come home talking about the place and the fun he had been having. She had to admit she was intrigued and also that he was a much happier person. The final clincher was that there was a sauna. She had been to a sauna in the past and enjoyed it. So with all the "what ifs" at a manageable level they headed off for the club.
Going into the club was the scariest few moments of her life..what to expect? Who would be there? In through the door into the reception...to be met by a cheery hello from Elizabeth! She gave them locker keys and chatted away. It seemed sort of normal like going to the swimming baths..not a swingers club.
They went in through the door, found their lockers..and she looked around for a changing cubicle! Oh no he said..you just get undressed in front of the lockers!
Ok she thought..I have got this far..so with some careful shuffling under the towel Elizabeth had given her, off came her clothes, into the locker they went. With the towel securely wrapped around she was ready...for what she wasn't sure..but she was ready.!
Now don't think little miss riding cock was a prude, she had always enjoyed sex. Sex for her should be romantic, spontaneous, passionate, just like the movies and books. Sex had become confusing with HIM wanting strange things doing to him..wanting her to be a Mistress....but then telling her what to do.

Recently when HE had discovered this strange place a lot of the arguing had stopped and he was a much nicer, happier person.
HE took her for a tour of the club...steam room, showers, sauna, dungeon...! Dungeon!! That was a scary looking place..she didn't like the look of that. So they went back upstairs and headed for the hot tub. The club, fortunately was very quiet ! In order to use the hot tub it ment being naked in front of everyone..including some men in the club. Oh well , what the hell! Off went the towel and in she got! She felt fat..and hoped no one would comment on that fact.

Then the door opened and the two men they had been talking to came in and sat down with them. Rather close.

She tried to concentrate on the conversation..but she was fascinated by the cocks..her eyes just wouldn't stay away from them! One of the men looked at her and asked if he could touch her breast....she said yes. It was really sexy especially with HIM watching and approving...she was sure she saw his cock twitch at the man lent across to fondled her breasts. It felt so naughty but oh so good.

The other guy then lent over from the other side and continued where the other man had left off. She was so hot..not just from the sauna..she was on fire inside! The man looked across at HIM and a silent visual agreement seemed to pass between them. He took her hand and lead her across the club to a room. He took off her towel..and she saw what he had for her! Oh my God she thought as she lay down...
He put on the condom and slid up inside her wet pussy with his big hard cock. She was more than ready for him and within minutes she was cumming. At first she tried to keep quiet as she had at home..then suddenly it didn't matter and she screamed the walls down!
Afterwards he lay beside her...laughing at her in a friendly way saying how much he had enjoyed it. They chatted for a bit in the room..he was in no hurry to rush off. He started touching her again and his cock was getting hard..so he put on another condom and fucked her again..but taking his time with her..building her to another orgasm. This was even better and much noisier!
As they left the room HE was there watching and smiling He had been listening watching and his cock was hard.
She freshened up in the shower and came back through to be greeted by her husband with a lovely hard cock. He led her back into the same room and bent her over and fucked her like they used to fuck when they met. It felt amazing!
They left the club together like the pair of new lovers they had been when they met, glowing with that inner glow that can only come from good sex!

The club was becoming a bit of a home from home, they were visiting quite regularly. Little miss riding cock had a few days off work so she decided to go to the club to enjoy the facilities, she loved the sauna and steam room! It was a weekday lunch time and the club was surprisingly busy. She want in, showered and went to the sauna. The sauna was empty when she went in, however as she sat it started to fill up until there were about 4 men all sitting in there. She was quite happy chatting to them. There were one or two stray hands coming across to touch her. With her new found confidence she was comfortable with saying, "No I am enjoying a sauna, please don't touch!" Polite but firm! No offence was taken. The sauna got to the point of being too hot. So off she went to cool down in the shower then she went into the steam room!
There was a rather nice young man in the steam room. She sat and started talking to him. Then in came another man and another until the steam room was full and there were no more seats left! No problem. Little miss riding cock sat on the young man's knee. He was already pretty aroused, but to have a naked woman sit herself on his knee! Wow, she noticed that he had a nice big cock! He placed his hands on her breasts and pulled her back towards him. She could feel his erection pushing against her bottom. The other men in there had of course seen what was going on. She was aware that she was the only woman in a ring of 6 erect cocks! She stood up in the middle of the steam room. Two men stood up with her. She took a cock in each hand, another man touched her breasts. The others sat watching and playing with themselves. She wanked the two cocks in her hands. One spunked off all over her hand and on the floor. She bent to the other one and took it in her mouth. She sucked it until it felt close to cumming, then its owner shot his load over her tits! This was really sexy, she was loving the attention! She went around the room touching, wanking and sucking cocks! Wow, how Greedy!
Her young man sat and watched her working the room, playing with his nice hard cock. Once she had finished with the last of the other cocks she asked one of the men to fetch her a condom! She turned to the young man who had been waiting for her. As she stood in front of him in the steamy room he sucked her nipples. She was already really turned on. This just heightened her arousal and his. She knelt on the floor in front of him taking his throbbing cock into her mouth. She took him as deep as she could, until she gagged on it. Then she used her tongue to lick him up and down. Alternating using her tongue on the sensitive tip of his cock and taking him deep inside her mouth. He said that he was close to cumming! She backed off and let him calm down a bit. There was one man still in the room, just quietly watching them, playing with his cock. He was happy to watch. Once the young man had calmed down a bit she slipped the condom on his nice hard cock. She bent over and took hold of the seat in front of her. He slid his cock hard up inside, filling her up, stretching her walls with his eager young cock. He fucked her so hard that his balls bounced against her bum and all the condensed water droplets from the ceiling fell like hot rain on them. He shot his load inside her, she cried out as she came and the voyeur stood up and spunked his load over her. Wow, that was a steamy session!
Later that evening she told her husband what she had been up to! He bent her over the table, pulled her knickers down and spanked her bum! Then he fucked her hard, filling her up with his hot spunk. He had known she was going to the club and had spent all day at work with a semi hard cock thinking about what she would be getting up to! |
