Pep Guardiola could take his summer spending past £100m in the coming
days as the Manchester City manager closes in on Leroy Sané and the
young South American forwards Gabriel Jesus and Marlos Moreno.
Guardiola has already bought Ilkay
Gündogan for £21m, Nolito for £13.8m and
Oleksandr Zinchenko for £1.7m, putting the
total at £36.5m. Schalke want €50m
(£41.8m) for the Germany attacking
midfielder Sané, with City valuing the 20-
year-old at around £5m less. City's sporting director, Txiki Begiristain, is
confident of the deal going through. If the clubs split the difference Sané
would cost £39.3m, taking Guardiola's outlay to £75.8m.
Jesus, a 19-year-old Palmeiras striker, is valued at around £26m by the
Brazilian club. They rejected a €20m bid (£16.7m) from Juventus, which
is closer to the fee City believe he is worth. A deal is understood to be
close for Jesus – the two clubs being in different time zones, with City in
China, is making it tricky to finalise – but if a compromise is found at
around halfway and he is bought for around £20m that would be an outlay
of £95.8m.
Atlético Nacional's Moreno, a 19-year-old Colombian forward, has
agreed to move to City for a fee in the region of £8m. This would break
the £100m barrier – to £103.8m.
Regarding John Stones, City and Everton are understood still to be
discussing his potential transfer to the Etihad Stadium. Although the deal
may be some way off, if he is bought the central defender could take
City's investment in the current window beyond £150m.
City's tour of China continues with a friendly against Borussia Dortmund
on Thursday.

Nigeria Education which way?
Just beLIEve that one day Nigeria would be a better place to
live in
i once had interest in Nigeria future bt when i discovered
Nigeria herself doesn't seems to put her future into
consideration i started losing interest. . .
I think i am not too wrong if i say the future of a country lies
in the creativity, productivity and literacy level of her youths.
Bt to my utmost amazement Nigeria and her rulers have no
interest in any of these rather they breed political thugs who
help in taking innocent lives when the need arises
For the past four months there has been no any academic
work on Obafemi Awolowo University thus making me think
of the need for the great awo to be told about what his Great
ife had been turn to
Last time i checked i was told Lautech Ladoke Akintola
University has been on strike for roughly two months with
no hope of resuming soon
Just a month ago the premier University in Nigeria UI,
resumed from her indefinite strike what an insult. The state
universities are not left out either, AAUA and KSU
respectively have also been home for a reasonable period
of time. I lost track of happenings at Uniport hopefully they
have resume from their indefinite strike...
Poly are also not left out the popular Rufus Giwa are also
home on indefinite strike though i heard one of them got
killed during the protest...
And now i am more than angry when i heard ASUU are
planning on a nationwide strike.
I knw u would agree with me that Nigeria needs help in her
Educational sector serious help
To my understanding, the primary and secondary schools
are not left out of these ill education stability. For the few
months Ondo and Oyo state schools have all been on strike
respectively due to one issue or the other.
My pen would have loved to keep bleeding bt i av to ans the
call of Nature and do the needful.
If all these should continue to be candid i hardly see a future
for Nigeria in Education...
Hopefully i can write on creativity n productivity soon.

Fallen Giant of Africa
You were once my third colour
You were my master
You were my pride
Alas!!! It happened
The arrow of the wicked struck
Things started falling apart
The giant began to crawl
The center could no longer hold
The guiltless feel no longer at ease
The enemies wine and thine daily
But the wise sleeps on
He joyfully merries in his slumber
Thus, the enemies rules vehemently
And there the wise sits
Steering the wheel with his lips
Note: until we begin to live and function in the consciousness that
the betterment of our nation is acollective responsibility, we will
never acquire the much more sought change that we desire.
The giant of Africa has fallen, Her elities seems to be doing
nothing to revive her, thus the responsibility of revival weighs more
on the shoulders of the limited known politicians.
Wake up and do the needful and our sun will once again rise!!!
Arise o compatroits!
Nigeria calls, please obey

Shocking!!! What is Buhari trying to do with these ex governors?
FG is set to reopen corruption cases against some ex-governors which were earlier investigated by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC)
– Ex-governors whose cases would be reopened, included six from the North-West; six from the North-East, and eight from the North-Central
President Buhari says his government will tackle corruption
The President Muhammadu Buhari led FG is set to reopen corruption cases against some ex-governors which were earlier investigated by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC).
According to a report by Punch, ICPC received a letter from the office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) to reopen the corruption cases.
In the report, those whose case will be reopened include the ex-governors, whose cases would be reopened, included six from the North-West; six from the North-East, and eight from the North-Central. Five of the former governors, who are now serving senators.
A copy of the AGF's letter seen by the newspaper partly reads; "It is clear that some of these governors and other politically-exposed persons have not been charged to court despite the fact that the ICPC has concluded their investigations concerning allegations levelled against them for one reason or the other.
"It is the position of the present administration that all ex-governors that the ICPC had long concluded investigations into the various allegations levelled against them should be immediately prosecuted."
READ ALSO: Sorry Nigerians, Prepare as things are going to get worse for these reasons
The letter also gave the Chairman of the ICPC a 14-day ultimatum to "remit the duplicate case files concerning the politically-exposed persons investigated by the ICPC over the years" to the office of the AGF.
The AGF's letter also requested files of other high-profile cases involving politically-exposed persons....... For your news and update, complains and opinion, contact omokito blog@09034276373
Baby Girl and Naughty Boy Ch. 01
"Paul, it's good to see you." He said as he met me
at the door to his private study and shook my
hand. Standing before me, PJ looked
uncomfortable and unsettled. I took notice of it
because I'd never seen him that way before.
Shoving his hands deeply into his pockets, he
rocked back on his heels and then smiled a
crooked smile and said, "I'm happy you came to
see me about this, and frankly, I've been
anticipating this conversation for some time."
I was talking to Patty's father, the famous business
tycoon, PJ Wallingford.
I'd asked Patty to marry me four times in the last
year. Each time, she reiterated the fact that she
loved me with all her heart, but despite everything
I said and did, she always turned me down saying
she wasn't ready to get married. For some time, I'd
suspected there was some unknown factor keeping
her from saying 'Yes', but I couldn't figure out what
it was. I asked her once if she wanted to break up,
but she swore to me that I meant everything to
her. Thoroughly confused about Patty and our
situation, I finally decided to talk with her Dad to
see if he could help me understand what was
going on.
I wasn't sure where to start, so I began the
conversation with Patty's father by telling him I
was in love with his daughter. "I know you are,
son," he answered, "and I know she loves you, too.
I'm very happy for the both of you."
I went on to tell him how I'd proposed to Patty
four times and how she said "No" four times.
"I know, Paul." PJ said to me. "And each time you
asked her, she came home to me and cried her
eyes out for hours. The last time it happened, I
had to cancel a business trip to stay home with her
because she was so distraught." PJ leaned forward
and looked at me, adding, "She's afraid you're
going to give up and quit asking, you know. That's
why I'm glad you finally called me."
"Sir," I continued, "I don't know what to do about
her. I don't know if it's something I'm doing, or
something I'm not doing..... I don't know if it has
something to do with inheritance or social status,
or what! All I know is that I love your daughter and
I'm almost to the point where I'm about ready to
kidnap her and hold her hostage at gun point until
she says "Yes".
PJ started laughing. It's a good thing, too, because
I'm sure in any other context, someone saying they
might kidnap his daughter would bring down the
wrath of hell on them. One thing I'd learned in the
last eighteen months was that Patty was definitely
a Daddy's Girl.
"Well, let me set your mind at ease about a few
things, Paul," he answered, "her reluctance to say
"Yes" doesn't mean she doesn't want to marry you,
I can assure you of that, and I hope you believe it.
And it has nothing to do with inheritance, social
status or anything you're doing right or wrong. I
know my daughter - and I know she loves you.
She's been in love with you almost since your first
date."
"Then, can you tell me how I can convince her to
marry me?" I finally blurted out.
"Yes, Paul, I probably can." He answered. Then
after thinking a few seconds, continued, "But,
that's a whole different conversation than what
we're having right now."
I was confused. How could it be a different
conversation? I was sitting here talking to him
about why Patty wouldn't marry me. It was simple
enough, I though. I'm asking why -- all he has to do
is answer.
"PJ," I replied, "I'm confused now. I thought you
said you could help me out with Patty."
"Let me put it another way," PJ answered, "I can
help you understand why she won't say 'Yes', but
that's going to be a tough conversation to have. It
will be a long one, too..... and difficult for both of
us, I'm afraid."
He paused for a minute and added, "During that
conversation, you'll probably get angry, and you'll
probably feel hurt. You might feel betrayed and
you'll most likely run out of here and never want
to see Patricia again. And you should know, there
could be consequences to that conversation, son....
you need to clearly understand that."
PJ got up out of his chair and stood behind his
desk. "Look, Paul," he said, "if I just scared the
crap out of you, I apologize. We can forget the
whole thing if you like. You're free to get up and
walk out of here and I won't think any less of you."
I stood up and walked to the edge of his desk.
"Sir," I replied, "I came here today to find out what
I need to do to get Patty to marry me. That's my
only focus right now and I'm not going to rest until
I find out what that is. There's nothing more
important to me, and there's no force on Earth
that can divert me from that."
I paused for a moment and looked at him. "Sir,
uh.... PJ," I said as I took a deep breath, "look, you
probably don't understand. I would do or give
anything to marry your daughter. If the
conversation you referred to will put me on the
path to get Patty to say "Yes", then by all means -
let's have it. She is the most important thing in my
life, PJ. I don't care about anything else."
He shrugged his shoulders and sat down in his
chair. Crossing his arms over his chest, a satisfied
grin appeared on his face as he said, "You know, I
really think you mean that."
"I do." I answered.
"Paul, listen to me carefully." He warned. "You've
convinced me that it's time for you and I to have
this talk. But, before we do, I'm going to need
some assurances that you'll never disclose
anything we talk about in any way, shape or form,
other than with Patricia and myself."
"You have my word on that, Sir." I promised him.
"Well, don't take offense to this, but I need a little
more assurance than that." He opened one of his
desk drawers and pulled out a large envelope.
"I've had this in my drawer since the day after you
asked Patricia to marry you the first time." He said.
"I've been waiting..... uh, well..... actually hoping,
for this day to come so I could hand it to you."
Continuing, he said, "What I want you to do is read
what's in here. Once you read everything and
understand exactly what you read, you'll have to
sign them. When you've done that, we can have
that talk. And at the end of that discussion, you'll
understand everything clearly."
I reached out to take the envelope, but he pulled it
back and added, "Son, make sure you read this
carefully. I'll give you an hour or so to look it over
and then I'll answer any questions you have about
it. Paul, if your quest is as urgent as you've led me
to believe it is, this is where you begin."
He handed me the envelope and told me to make
myself comfortable at his desk. "I'll have some
things brought in for you while you read," PJ said,
"and I'll come back in about an hour to see how
you're doing. Don't rush, Paul, take as much time
as you need."
With that, PJ left the room and I was left alone in
his study.
The quiet in the room was almost deafening. I
couldn't hear one audible sound besides my own
breathing. Since he told me to sit at his desk, that's
exactly what I did. I'd been in this room before
with Patty many times to see him, but now that I
was sitting in his chair behind his desk, a sense of
humility came over me. I had to wonder how
many business deals and how many millions of
dollars had been made at this desk.
I held the envelope in my hands and thought
about the words he used. There was a bit of
mystery here and some intrigue, too. For sure,
there was a secret somewhere and I figured it was
a pretty big one. But, I loved Patty and I was willing
to play just about any game to make her mine. As I
was about to open the envelope, a knock came
from the door. When I looked up, Patty poked her
head in and smiled at me.
"Daddy asked me to bring you some things. May I
come in?" She asked.
"Well, of course." I answered. "It's your house!"
Patty came in pushing a cart that had some cold
drinks and a few office supplies -- things like
highlighters, pens and pencils. But what really
caught my eye was the outfit Patty was wearing. On
top, she wore a tight white halter which was
noticeably too small. It clearly showed the outline
of her tiny breasts and her nipples, which were
poking out through the material of her shirt. I set
the unopened envelope down and leaned back in
PJ's chair so I could simply admire my angel.
On the bottom, she had on a pair of tight white
short shorts that she knew I loved. They hugged
her petite body like a glove, especially at her
crotch and around her little butt, plus they were
thin enough I could easily make out the tiny pink
bikini panties she wore underneath. She knew her
outfit would get my attention because she'd worn
it many times before. Every time I saw her in it, my
penis went into instant boner-overload mode.
She pushed the cart next to the desk and slipped
behind me and leaned down to kiss my neck.
Seeing that I hadn't opened the envelope yet, she
asked, "Aren't you going to open it?"
"Uh huh," I answered, nodding my head up and
down, "I was about to, but you've kind of
distracted me now. Damn, Patty," I said, "I can't
believe you wear that in front of your father. Your
nipples are really poking out."
My comment made Patty giggle and she stepped
around to the side of the chair. "Oh, am I making
you jealous?" She asked, pushing right up next to
me. Her nipples were almost even with my mouth
and I could have leaned over and bitten one - she
was that close.
She reached down to my lap and pressed the palm
of her hand against my crotch. "Oh, my! You
Naughty Boy!" She exclaimed.
I had to smile. She'd given me that nick name,
"Naughty Boy" the day we had our first date. It was
the most supreme day of my life: the day we had
our first kiss, the day I sniffed her panties for the
first time and first time I experienced one of her
glorious handjobs. Embarrassingly enough, it was
also the day she introduced me to exhibitionism....
and much more.
"Did I do that?" She asked innocently, referring to
the straining erection in my pants.
I moaned as she pressed her hand against my cock
and then finally giving in, I pushed the chair back
from the desk to give her more room. As soon as I
pushed back, though, she pulled her hand away.
"Daddy warned me not to bother you, but, uh, it
seems I already have." Patty whispered, leaning
over to rub her nose against mine. She placed her
hands on the side of my face and pulled us
together, kissing me tenderly on the lips. "Thanks
for coming to talk to Daddy today." Patty said. "I
was starting to worry you might never figure it out.
But you did, and you're here now, and I love you
so much for that."
Quietly, she turned to leave, stopping at the door
to wiggle her little butt at me. Then with a coy
glance over her shoulder, she left the room and I
was left alone again with the silence.
The envelope contained several documents
attached together. There was a broadly worded
Non-Disclosure Agreement as well as a very
thorough set of documents that effectively
transferred everything I owned into PJ's name in
return for a payment of $1. That included all my
personal belongings, real estate, investments and
100% of my business interests. The effective date
of the transfer would occur sometime in the
future, at a date which PJ would provide. The
agreement would stay in force for 99 years and
there was no revocation clause. In essence, once I
signed this, he could execute it at any time and he
would instantly own everything that was mine. This
is the kind of document no one in their right mind
would ever sign and it's the kind of a document my
lawyer would blow his top over.
I read every word on every page inside the
envelope. It was interesting how the forms were
already made up and how they contained my
formal name, including my middle name, along
with my ID numbers and other particulars I would
consider private and confidential. Whoever put all
this together had done their homework very well.
There was a lot of legal mumbo-jumbo, but I
understood exactly what the papers were saying.
After I'd read through it twice, the door opened
and PJ walked in and shut the door behind him.
"Any questions you want to ask me?" He asked.
"Well," I answered, "just one. But, first let me say
you've got me pegged wrong if you think any of the
material possessions I have is more important to
me than Patty is. So if you think you'd ever
leverage me away from her by executing this
agreement in some way, you're barking up the
wrong tree, Sir."
"Paul, that's not the intent of the document at all."
He replied, chuckling. "But I'm glad to see you'll
put my daughter above anything else in your life.
Why don't you ask your question and let me
answer it. Then I'll explain what the document is
for."
"If I sign these, will Patty agree to marry me?" I
asked.
"Good question, Paul." PJ said. "The direct answer
is "No", signing the papers will not let you walk out
of here able to marry Patricia. But, by signing it
you'll be able to take the first step to making that
happen. Said another way," he paused for
emphasis, "If you don't sign, there's no way the
two of you will ever marry."
That wasn't what I expected to hear and I had to
take a minute to think about it. "Paul, let me
explain how the documents would be used." PJ
pulled up a chair and sat directly in front of me.
"Son," he continued, "if you sign the documents,
I'll keep them in my lawyer's safe with strict
instructions that they would never be executed
unless you disclose any portion of the
conversation we need to have. Even if you decide
to walk away from Patricia after we talk, as long as
you keep your mouth shut, you're fine. But if we
ever find out you've disclosed or repeated even
one iota of what we talk about, we'll execute the
agreement and you'll be penniless and financially
ruined."
"So this is the reassurance you were speaking of
earlier?" I asked.
"Exactly." PJ replied.
"So if I sign this, we can have the discussion and I'll
have a chance to marry her. And if I don't sign, I'll
never have a chance. Did I get that right?" I asked.
"Right again." He replied.
"And as long as I keep quiet about the
conversation we need to have, I've got your word
you won't ever execute this agreement?" I
inquired, holding up the document.
"You've got it perfectly, Paul." PJ answered.
"Sir, your word is good enough for me." I said as I
signed the papers and then handed the bundle
over to him."
"Paul, I promise you've made the right decision."
PJ said as she stood and shook my hand. "So,
when would you like to talk?" He asked. "We can
do it now, or this evening, or tomorrow -- or
anytime you want. It might take a while, so we
should set aside some time when we won't be
interrupted."
"Perhaps," PJ said, as he stroked his chin, "maybe
you'd like to spend some time with Patricia here at
the house today. You're welcome to stay the
afternoon and have a early dinner here and we
can talk after that."
"That sounds good, PJ." I answered.
PJ motioned me to walk to the door with him, and
as we walked, he leaned over and whispered to
me, "I bet my little Patricia is standing on the other
side of that door with her ear pressed up against it
trying to listen to what we're saying. What do you
say we find out?"
He had a mischievous grin on his face, but I liked
his idea. If he was right, then I'd know she was
eager for me to sign the papers and have the talk
with her father.
I stood a few feet away while he slowly reached for
the door knob. Looking at me and smiling, he
yanked the door open and sure enough, Patty was
standing right there as if she'd been trying to
eavesdrop through the door.
Patty looked at me and then she stood up and put
her arms around her father's waist and said
"Sorry, Daddy. I couldn't help myself."
"I know you couldn't help yourself, Baby Girl," PJ
replied, "but you know spying isn't becoming of a
young girl. We'll deal with that later, though."
"Yes, Sir." Patty replied as her eyes lowered to the
floor.
"You'll be happy to know, though," PJ continued,
"that Paul signed the forms, so I've asked him to
stay for dinner and then he and I are going to have
our little talk after we eat."
Patty threw herself into his arms and hugged him
tightly. "Oh, thank you, Daddy." She exclaimed.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" As they
hugged, I watched the little shorts she was wearing
disappear up into her butt crack and the bottoms
of her butt cheeks pop out.
Then she ran to me and hugged me, too. "I knew
you'd sign it," Patty said, "I knew you wouldn't give
up." PJ eyes dropped to Patty's butt and I'm sure
he saw her cute little ass the same way I did.
Then as I held her, she got tears in her eyes and
laid her head down on my chest. "I'm so happy
right now." She said, sniffing a few tears back. Then
she lifted her head off my chest and reached out
for her father's hand, adding. "And it's because the
two men I love the most are right here."
NOTE: This is probably a good spot in my story for
me to explain some details, such as how I met
Patty and her father, and how we got to this point.
Don't worry, I'll eventually circle back to here.
I met Patty in a strange twist of circumstances at
the Washington Dulles airport one evening. We
were waiting to board the same flight and due to
an aircraft equipment change, some of the
passengers holding boarding passes weren't going
to get seats. I was one of the lucky ones, primarily
because I'd purchased a first class ticket. Many
weren't going to be so lucky, though.
I was sitting in the boarding area close to the agent
counter when the ticket agent called Patty's name
over the loudspeaker and told her she was going
to have to wait until the next flight. Trying not to be
nosey, I turned back to my magazine, but looked
up when I heard Patty begin to cry.
I overheard her tell the gate agent that she had to
get home quickly because her grandfather had
been taken to the hospital with a heart attack.
Unfortunately, the gate agent's hands were tied -
they were given a list of who would have seats on
the airplane and Patty's name wasn't on the
boarding list.
I felt so sorry for the young woman. I thought she
might be traveling alone -- maybe even her first
time flying. She was just a tiny thing, too, perhaps
five foot tall and a frame that matched. My heart
went out to her, and knowing I could easily delay
my plans, I walked up to the counter while Patty
stood there and told the agent she could have my
first class seat and I would wait for the next flight.
Initially, the gate agent told me the passenger lists
had already been determined, but I insisted that
the agent make the change.
Of course, Patty was speechless but I nodded to
her confidently as we waited for the gate agent to
make the changes and give her a boarding pass.
When the change was done, I told her to have a
good flight and wished her luck with her
grandfather.
As I returned to my seat in the gate area, Patty
came to thank me and sat down in the seat next to
me. As we talked, I discovered she'd just finished
up her studies in Georgetown and was worried sick
about her grandfather. I initially judged Patty's age
to be about 16 or 17 because she looked so young,
especially with that cute pony tail she was
whipping around. I was genuinely surprised when
she told me she was 23 and had just graduated
from college.
at the door to his private study and shook my
hand. Standing before me, PJ looked
uncomfortable and unsettled. I took notice of it
because I'd never seen him that way before.
Shoving his hands deeply into his pockets, he
rocked back on his heels and then smiled a
crooked smile and said, "I'm happy you came to

"I know, Paul." PJ said to me. "And each time you
asked her, she came home to me and cried her
eyes out for hours. The last time it happened, I
had to cancel a business trip to stay home with her
because she was so distraught." PJ leaned forward
and looked at me, adding, "She's afraid you're
going to give up and quit asking, you know. That's
why I'm glad you finally called me."
"Sir," I continued, "I don't know what to do about
her. I don't know if it's something I'm doing, or
something I'm not doing..... I don't know if it has
something to do with inheritance or social status,
or what! All I know is that I love your daughter and
I'm almost to the point where I'm about ready to
kidnap her and hold her hostage at gun point until
she says "Yes".
PJ started laughing. It's a good thing, too, because
I'm sure in any other context, someone saying they
might kidnap his daughter would bring down the
wrath of hell on them. One thing I'd learned in the
last eighteen months was that Patty was definitely
a Daddy's Girl.
"Well, let me set your mind at ease about a few
things, Paul," he answered, "her reluctance to say
"Yes" doesn't mean she doesn't want to marry you,
I can assure you of that, and I hope you believe it.
And it has nothing to do with inheritance, social
status or anything you're doing right or wrong. I
know my daughter - and I know she loves you.
She's been in love with you almost since your first
date."
"Then, can you tell me how I can convince her to
marry me?" I finally blurted out.
"Yes, Paul, I probably can." He answered. Then
after thinking a few seconds, continued, "But,
that's a whole different conversation than what
we're having right now."
I was confused. How could it be a different
conversation? I was sitting here talking to him
about why Patty wouldn't marry me. It was simple
enough, I though. I'm asking why -- all he has to do
is answer.
"PJ," I replied, "I'm confused now. I thought you
said you could help me out with Patty."
"Let me put it another way," PJ answered, "I can
help you understand why she won't say 'Yes', but
that's going to be a tough conversation to have. It
will be a long one, too..... and difficult for both of
us, I'm afraid."
He paused for a minute and added, "During that
conversation, you'll probably get angry, and you'll
probably feel hurt. You might feel betrayed and
you'll most likely run out of here and never want
to see Patricia again. And you should know, there
could be consequences to that conversation, son....
you need to clearly understand that."
PJ got up out of his chair and stood behind his
desk. "Look, Paul," he said, "if I just scared the
crap out of you, I apologize. We can forget the
whole thing if you like. You're free to get up and
walk out of here and I won't think any less of you."
I stood up and walked to the edge of his desk.
"Sir," I replied, "I came here today to find out what
I need to do to get Patty to marry me. That's my
only focus right now and I'm not going to rest until
I find out what that is. There's nothing more
important to me, and there's no force on Earth
that can divert me from that."
I paused for a moment and looked at him. "Sir,
uh.... PJ," I said as I took a deep breath, "look, you
probably don't understand. I would do or give
anything to marry your daughter. If the
conversation you referred to will put me on the
path to get Patty to say "Yes", then by all means -
let's have it. She is the most important thing in my
life, PJ. I don't care about anything else."
He shrugged his shoulders and sat down in his
chair. Crossing his arms over his chest, a satisfied
grin appeared on his face as he said, "You know, I
really think you mean that."
"I do." I answered.
"Paul, listen to me carefully." He warned. "You've
convinced me that it's time for you and I to have
this talk. But, before we do, I'm going to need
some assurances that you'll never disclose
anything we talk about in any way, shape or form,
other than with Patricia and myself."
"You have my word on that, Sir." I promised him.
"Well, don't take offense to this, but I need a little
more assurance than that." He opened one of his
desk drawers and pulled out a large envelope.
"I've had this in my drawer since the day after you
asked Patricia to marry you the first time." He said.
"I've been waiting..... uh, well..... actually hoping,
for this day to come so I could hand it to you."
Continuing, he said, "What I want you to do is read
what's in here. Once you read everything and
understand exactly what you read, you'll have to
sign them. When you've done that, we can have
that talk. And at the end of that discussion, you'll
understand everything clearly."
I reached out to take the envelope, but he pulled it
back and added, "Son, make sure you read this
carefully. I'll give you an hour or so to look it over
and then I'll answer any questions you have about
it. Paul, if your quest is as urgent as you've led me
to believe it is, this is where you begin."
He handed me the envelope and told me to make
myself comfortable at his desk. "I'll have some
things brought in for you while you read," PJ said,
"and I'll come back in about an hour to see how
you're doing. Don't rush, Paul, take as much time
as you need."
With that, PJ left the room and I was left alone in
his study.
The quiet in the room was almost deafening. I
couldn't hear one audible sound besides my own
breathing. Since he told me to sit at his desk, that's
exactly what I did. I'd been in this room before
with Patty many times to see him, but now that I
was sitting in his chair behind his desk, a sense of
humility came over me. I had to wonder how
many business deals and how many millions of
dollars had been made at this desk.
I held the envelope in my hands and thought
about the words he used. There was a bit of
mystery here and some intrigue, too. For sure,
there was a secret somewhere and I figured it was
a pretty big one. But, I loved Patty and I was willing
to play just about any game to make her mine. As I
was about to open the envelope, a knock came
from the door. When I looked up, Patty poked her
head in and smiled at me.
"Daddy asked me to bring you some things. May I
come in?" She asked.
"Well, of course." I answered. "It's your house!"
Patty came in pushing a cart that had some cold
drinks and a few office supplies -- things like
highlighters, pens and pencils. But what really
caught my eye was the outfit Patty was wearing. On
top, she wore a tight white halter which was
noticeably too small. It clearly showed the outline
of her tiny breasts and her nipples, which were
poking out through the material of her shirt. I set
the unopened envelope down and leaned back in
PJ's chair so I could simply admire my angel.
On the bottom, she had on a pair of tight white
short shorts that she knew I loved. They hugged
her petite body like a glove, especially at her
crotch and around her little butt, plus they were
thin enough I could easily make out the tiny pink
bikini panties she wore underneath. She knew her
outfit would get my attention because she'd worn
it many times before. Every time I saw her in it, my
penis went into instant boner-overload mode.
She pushed the cart next to the desk and slipped
behind me and leaned down to kiss my neck.
Seeing that I hadn't opened the envelope yet, she
asked, "Aren't you going to open it?"
"Uh huh," I answered, nodding my head up and
down, "I was about to, but you've kind of
distracted me now. Damn, Patty," I said, "I can't
believe you wear that in front of your father. Your
nipples are really poking out."
My comment made Patty giggle and she stepped
around to the side of the chair. "Oh, am I making
you jealous?" She asked, pushing right up next to
me. Her nipples were almost even with my mouth
and I could have leaned over and bitten one - she
was that close.
She reached down to my lap and pressed the palm
of her hand against my crotch. "Oh, my! You
Naughty Boy!" She exclaimed.
I had to smile. She'd given me that nick name,
"Naughty Boy" the day we had our first date. It was
the most supreme day of my life: the day we had
our first kiss, the day I sniffed her panties for the
first time and first time I experienced one of her
glorious handjobs. Embarrassingly enough, it was
also the day she introduced me to exhibitionism....
and much more.
"Did I do that?" She asked innocently, referring to
the straining erection in my pants.
I moaned as she pressed her hand against my cock
and then finally giving in, I pushed the chair back
from the desk to give her more room. As soon as I
pushed back, though, she pulled her hand away.
"Daddy warned me not to bother you, but, uh, it
seems I already have." Patty whispered, leaning
over to rub her nose against mine. She placed her
hands on the side of my face and pulled us
together, kissing me tenderly on the lips. "Thanks
for coming to talk to Daddy today." Patty said. "I
was starting to worry you might never figure it out.
But you did, and you're here now, and I love you
so much for that."
Quietly, she turned to leave, stopping at the door
to wiggle her little butt at me. Then with a coy
glance over her shoulder, she left the room and I
was left alone again with the silence.
The envelope contained several documents
attached together. There was a broadly worded
Non-Disclosure Agreement as well as a very
thorough set of documents that effectively
transferred everything I owned into PJ's name in
return for a payment of $1. That included all my
personal belongings, real estate, investments and
100% of my business interests. The effective date
of the transfer would occur sometime in the
future, at a date which PJ would provide. The
agreement would stay in force for 99 years and
there was no revocation clause. In essence, once I
signed this, he could execute it at any time and he
would instantly own everything that was mine. This
is the kind of document no one in their right mind
would ever sign and it's the kind of a document my
lawyer would blow his top over.
I read every word on every page inside the
envelope. It was interesting how the forms were
already made up and how they contained my
formal name, including my middle name, along
with my ID numbers and other particulars I would
consider private and confidential. Whoever put all
this together had done their homework very well.
There was a lot of legal mumbo-jumbo, but I
understood exactly what the papers were saying.
After I'd read through it twice, the door opened
and PJ walked in and shut the door behind him.
"Any questions you want to ask me?" He asked.
"Well," I answered, "just one. But, first let me say
you've got me pegged wrong if you think any of the
material possessions I have is more important to
me than Patty is. So if you think you'd ever
leverage me away from her by executing this
agreement in some way, you're barking up the
wrong tree, Sir."
"Paul, that's not the intent of the document at all."
He replied, chuckling. "But I'm glad to see you'll
put my daughter above anything else in your life.
Why don't you ask your question and let me
answer it. Then I'll explain what the document is
for."
"If I sign these, will Patty agree to marry me?" I
asked.
"Good question, Paul." PJ said. "The direct answer
is "No", signing the papers will not let you walk out
of here able to marry Patricia. But, by signing it
you'll be able to take the first step to making that
happen. Said another way," he paused for
emphasis, "If you don't sign, there's no way the
two of you will ever marry."
That wasn't what I expected to hear and I had to
take a minute to think about it. "Paul, let me
explain how the documents would be used." PJ
pulled up a chair and sat directly in front of me.
"Son," he continued, "if you sign the documents,
I'll keep them in my lawyer's safe with strict
instructions that they would never be executed
unless you disclose any portion of the
conversation we need to have. Even if you decide
to walk away from Patricia after we talk, as long as
you keep your mouth shut, you're fine. But if we
ever find out you've disclosed or repeated even
one iota of what we talk about, we'll execute the
agreement and you'll be penniless and financially
ruined."
"So this is the reassurance you were speaking of
earlier?" I asked.
"Exactly." PJ replied.
"So if I sign this, we can have the discussion and I'll
have a chance to marry her. And if I don't sign, I'll
never have a chance. Did I get that right?" I asked.
"Right again." He replied.
"And as long as I keep quiet about the
conversation we need to have, I've got your word
you won't ever execute this agreement?" I
inquired, holding up the document.
"You've got it perfectly, Paul." PJ answered.
"Sir, your word is good enough for me." I said as I
signed the papers and then handed the bundle
over to him."
"Paul, I promise you've made the right decision."
PJ said as she stood and shook my hand. "So,
when would you like to talk?" He asked. "We can
do it now, or this evening, or tomorrow -- or
anytime you want. It might take a while, so we
should set aside some time when we won't be
interrupted."
"Perhaps," PJ said, as he stroked his chin, "maybe
you'd like to spend some time with Patricia here at
the house today. You're welcome to stay the
afternoon and have a early dinner here and we
can talk after that."
"That sounds good, PJ." I answered.
PJ motioned me to walk to the door with him, and
as we walked, he leaned over and whispered to
me, "I bet my little Patricia is standing on the other
side of that door with her ear pressed up against it
trying to listen to what we're saying. What do you
say we find out?"
He had a mischievous grin on his face, but I liked
his idea. If he was right, then I'd know she was
eager for me to sign the papers and have the talk
with her father.
I stood a few feet away while he slowly reached for
the door knob. Looking at me and smiling, he
yanked the door open and sure enough, Patty was
standing right there as if she'd been trying to
eavesdrop through the door.
Patty looked at me and then she stood up and put
her arms around her father's waist and said
"Sorry, Daddy. I couldn't help myself."
"I know you couldn't help yourself, Baby Girl," PJ
replied, "but you know spying isn't becoming of a
young girl. We'll deal with that later, though."
"Yes, Sir." Patty replied as her eyes lowered to the
floor.
"You'll be happy to know, though," PJ continued,
"that Paul signed the forms, so I've asked him to
stay for dinner and then he and I are going to have
our little talk after we eat."
Patty threw herself into his arms and hugged him
tightly. "Oh, thank you, Daddy." She exclaimed.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" As they
hugged, I watched the little shorts she was wearing
disappear up into her butt crack and the bottoms
of her butt cheeks pop out.
Then she ran to me and hugged me, too. "I knew
you'd sign it," Patty said, "I knew you wouldn't give
up." PJ eyes dropped to Patty's butt and I'm sure
he saw her cute little ass the same way I did.
Then as I held her, she got tears in her eyes and
laid her head down on my chest. "I'm so happy
right now." She said, sniffing a few tears back. Then
she lifted her head off my chest and reached out
for her father's hand, adding. "And it's because the
two men I love the most are right here."
NOTE: This is probably a good spot in my story for
me to explain some details, such as how I met
Patty and her father, and how we got to this point.
Don't worry, I'll eventually circle back to here.
I met Patty in a strange twist of circumstances at
the Washington Dulles airport one evening. We
were waiting to board the same flight and due to
an aircraft equipment change, some of the
passengers holding boarding passes weren't going
to get seats. I was one of the lucky ones, primarily
because I'd purchased a first class ticket. Many
weren't going to be so lucky, though.
I was sitting in the boarding area close to the agent
counter when the ticket agent called Patty's name
over the loudspeaker and told her she was going
to have to wait until the next flight. Trying not to be
nosey, I turned back to my magazine, but looked
up when I heard Patty begin to cry.
I overheard her tell the gate agent that she had to
get home quickly because her grandfather had
been taken to the hospital with a heart attack.
Unfortunately, the gate agent's hands were tied -
they were given a list of who would have seats on
the airplane and Patty's name wasn't on the
boarding list.
I felt so sorry for the young woman. I thought she
might be traveling alone -- maybe even her first
time flying. She was just a tiny thing, too, perhaps
five foot tall and a frame that matched. My heart
went out to her, and knowing I could easily delay
my plans, I walked up to the counter while Patty
stood there and told the agent she could have my
first class seat and I would wait for the next flight.
Initially, the gate agent told me the passenger lists
had already been determined, but I insisted that
the agent make the change.
Of course, Patty was speechless but I nodded to
her confidently as we waited for the gate agent to
make the changes and give her a boarding pass.
When the change was done, I told her to have a
good flight and wished her luck with her
grandfather.
As I returned to my seat in the gate area, Patty
came to thank me and sat down in the seat next to
me. As we talked, I discovered she'd just finished
up her studies in Georgetown and was worried sick
about her grandfather. I initially judged Patty's age
to be about 16 or 17 because she looked so young,
especially with that cute pony tail she was
whipping around. I was genuinely surprised when
she told me she was 23 and had just graduated
from college.
Nolito: I moved to Manchester City to play under Pep Guardiola again
Nolito chose Manchester City over Barcelona for the chance to work
under Pep Guardiola and to play in the first team, the Spanish forward
has revealed.
Guardiola signed Nolito from Celta Vigo for £14m in the summer despite
Barcelona wanting to take him back. He had previously been coached by
Guardiola when he was at the club.
Nolito, who was given his Barcelona debut in the 2010-11 season, said:
"The truth is I enjoyed working with him in Barcelona even though it
wasn't much time. It's a reason for me to come here but not the only one.
"But it was also about City, they have a great team, it's a great project,
they got to the semi-finals of the Champions League last season and the
truth is I will try to help this club achieve great things."
Nolito indicated he expects to be a first-choice player at City. "It's
something I spoke about with my family and my management," the 29-
year-old said.
"I thought it was the best decision for me and my career. I have come to
the Premier League to play with City and under Pep Guardiola, who will
play me in the first team, and I am very happy with the decision I took.
"I spoke with David [Silva]. He spoke well about City and I had a
consultation with my family and my agent and it took me just two days
to make the decision. I have had luck to play with [Lionel] Messi a bit
but what I want in life is to enjoy my football, play football and be
happy. I took the decision. I was fortunate to play in Barcelona, although
not much in the first team, and now I am excited about playing at City
and I will try to do great things here."
He added: "I wish Barcelona all the best. I am very proud of Barcelona's
interest, but now I am here and I think I made the best decision to come
here."
Nolito is happy to operate wherever Guardiola wants him to play. "We
haven't spoken about it," he said. "I have only been here [China] two
days and I will play wherever the manager wants me to play.
"There are two positions that I can play. I
am comfortable in either position and I will
play in either of them and adapt to whatever
the manager wants.
"I can see we have a good team and we can
do anything. Why can't we win the league?
It's a different league, the hardest in the world and I think we will try to
win it. Let's see what happens.
"Yes, I think it will be hard. But we have to try to start well and do a
good job. It's a hard league, a very hard league, and there are teams that
are near your level. Anyone can beat anyone."
Nolito added that he is intent on learning a new language to help his
integration at City. "Yes, I will learn how to speak English. I will learn
how to speak it, but it will take time," he said.

How Hillary Clinton is campaigning on race and crime: 'She must own her role'
One of Jamira Burley's earliest memories is watching two of her teenage
brothers, ages 14 and 15, face trial for murder. Thirteen of her 15 siblings
have spent time incarcerated, and in the course of one year she lost a
brother to gun violence and her father was convicted of murder.
When she was five, her legs were too short to reach the courtroom floor.
Now 27, she'll travel the country for Hillary Clinton, whose husband
supported "tough on crime" plans that disproportionately affected black
Americans, to talk about crime and punishment.
On Monday, Burley joined the Clinton campaign as deputy millennial
vote director, after leading a program on gun violence and justice at
Amnesty International.
"I'm well aware of the damage the criminal justice system has done to
communities of color," she said with qualified praise for Clinton as the
first candidate in over 15 years to put gun violence on the national stage.
"One of the things that I admire about Secretary Clinton is she's not
afraid to admit when she's wrong," she said. "She realizes the damage
our criminal justice system has done to the American population, and she
wants to make reform in ways that's not harmful to communities and
future generations."
Clinton, she said, has "been willing to own up to it, and she's been
willing to right her wrongs".
In the early 1990s, Philadelphia saw gun murder rates spike to record
highs alongside crime related to the national crack epidemic. Academics
and politicians warned of violent young offenders, and by the middle of
the decade, some predicted the rise of " juvenile super-predators".
As first lady, Clinton herself seemed to endorse that notion in 1996.
"They are often the kinds of kids that are called 'super-predators', no
conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way
but first we have to bring them to heel," she said at the time.
Activists have argued that Clinton should be held responsible for the
impact of her husband's 1994 crime bill, which imposed draconian
enforcement that disproportionately increased arrests in black
communities, specifically for drug-related crimes.
Clinton has been lambasted for her "super-predator" remarks in
particular, and her husband has struggled to fend off protesters who
raised it earlier this year. Michelle Alexander, the influential author of
the New Jim Crow, called the comments "racially coded rhetoric to cast
black children as animals" and has argued that Clinton did not deserve
the black vote.
After an activist interrupted a campaign event in February and asked
Clinton about those controversial remarks, she apologized, saying she
"should not have used those words".
The activist, Ashley Williams, later said that the apology did not go far
enough. "She must own her role in the political disaster that befell Black
communities," she wrote.
Burley's brothers were young teenagers when they faced murder charges,
which were brought because the boys had been in a car with others who
committed the crime and the teens refused to inform on the others. They
were tried and convicted of third-degree murder, and Burley would not
see them again until they were in their late 20s.
Four of her brothers were still incarcerated, she said.
Burley said she planned to remind young people that support for the bill,
now seen as a " terrible mistake", was much broader at the time it was
passed. There were parts of the 1994 bill that her own mother favored,
Burley said, even though her mother was also affected by the justice
system herself.
"The crime bills of the 90s were supported by a very diverse group of
actors," Burley said. "My mother can tell you she supported getting more
police on the streets."
A majority of black Americans supported Clinton's crime bill in 1994
and it largely won passage through support from the congressional black
caucus. It was not without fierce, high-profile critics in the black
community, though: in 1994, the NAACP called the bill "a crime against
the American people".
Clinton has now pledged to "end the era of mass incarceration" through
several means: reforming federal mandatory minimum sentencing;
focusing federal law enforcement resources on violent crime, not
marijuana possession; investing billions of dollars in re-entry programs;
and reforming school discipline practices to end the "school-to-prison
pipeline".
She has also promised to address police violence against black
Americans, and said she would ask for $1bn to train police departments
on how to overcome implicit racial bias, develop national guidelines on
police use of force, and support legislation to end racial profiling.
"The fact that the Black Lives Matter movement and other criminal
justice reformers have held her feet to the fire has helped her become a
lot more sensitive to how she shows up in those spaces," Burley said .
Burley has been an advocate for gun violence prevention since her early
teens. After her 20-year-old brother, Andre, was murdered in 2005,
Burley started a program at her high school to train other students to be
violence "interrupters" and peer mediators. It later expanded to 10 other
high schools across the city. At age 23, just days after becoming the first
sibling in her family to graduate from college, she was hired as the
executive director of Philadelphia's youth commission. In 2014, the
White House honored her as a " Champion of Change" on gun violence
prevention.
At Amnesty, Burley focused on building a united approach to gun
violence, police violence and criminal justice reform, rather than
viewing those issues as separate, siloed problems. She also worked to
improve communication between Amnesty's largely white and middle-
class membership and young Black Lives Matter advocates across the
country.
Part of that work meant educating members about the unintended
consequences of some gun violence prevention policies – particularly
when policies are only evaluated from the perspective of white
Americans. After the Orlando nightclub massacre of 49 people, for
instance, Democrats, including Clinton and Barack Obama, pushed to
pass legislation barring Americans on terror watchlists from being able
to buy guns.
That seemed like an obvious move for many Americans. But at Amnesty,
Burley put out a statement opposing the "no fly, no buy" measures as
"false solutions to the real threats of gun violence and terrorism". The
plan threatened due process safeguards for Americans, particularly
minorities, she noted, given the often secretive and arbitrary nature of the
watchlists.

have spent time incarcerated, and in the course of one year she lost a

On Monday, Burley joined the Clinton campaign as deputy millennial
vote director, after leading a program on gun violence and justice at
Amnesty International.
"I'm well aware of the damage the criminal justice system has done to
communities of color," she said with qualified praise for Clinton as the
first candidate in over 15 years to put gun violence on the national stage.
"One of the things that I admire about Secretary Clinton is she's not
afraid to admit when she's wrong," she said. "She realizes the damage
our criminal justice system has done to the American population, and she
wants to make reform in ways that's not harmful to communities and
future generations."
Clinton, she said, has "been willing to own up to it, and she's been
willing to right her wrongs".
In the early 1990s, Philadelphia saw gun murder rates spike to record
highs alongside crime related to the national crack epidemic. Academics
and politicians warned of violent young offenders, and by the middle of
the decade, some predicted the rise of " juvenile super-predators".
As first lady, Clinton herself seemed to endorse that notion in 1996.
"They are often the kinds of kids that are called 'super-predators', no
conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way
but first we have to bring them to heel," she said at the time.
Activists have argued that Clinton should be held responsible for the
impact of her husband's 1994 crime bill, which imposed draconian
enforcement that disproportionately increased arrests in black
communities, specifically for drug-related crimes.
Clinton has been lambasted for her "super-predator" remarks in
particular, and her husband has struggled to fend off protesters who
raised it earlier this year. Michelle Alexander, the influential author of
the New Jim Crow, called the comments "racially coded rhetoric to cast
black children as animals" and has argued that Clinton did not deserve
the black vote.
After an activist interrupted a campaign event in February and asked
Clinton about those controversial remarks, she apologized, saying she
"should not have used those words".
The activist, Ashley Williams, later said that the apology did not go far
enough. "She must own her role in the political disaster that befell Black
communities," she wrote.
Burley's brothers were young teenagers when they faced murder charges,
which were brought because the boys had been in a car with others who
committed the crime and the teens refused to inform on the others. They
were tried and convicted of third-degree murder, and Burley would not
see them again until they were in their late 20s.
Four of her brothers were still incarcerated, she said.
Burley said she planned to remind young people that support for the bill,
now seen as a " terrible mistake", was much broader at the time it was
passed. There were parts of the 1994 bill that her own mother favored,
Burley said, even though her mother was also affected by the justice
system herself.
"The crime bills of the 90s were supported by a very diverse group of
actors," Burley said. "My mother can tell you she supported getting more
police on the streets."
A majority of black Americans supported Clinton's crime bill in 1994
and it largely won passage through support from the congressional black
caucus. It was not without fierce, high-profile critics in the black
community, though: in 1994, the NAACP called the bill "a crime against
the American people".
Clinton has now pledged to "end the era of mass incarceration" through
several means: reforming federal mandatory minimum sentencing;
focusing federal law enforcement resources on violent crime, not
marijuana possession; investing billions of dollars in re-entry programs;
and reforming school discipline practices to end the "school-to-prison
pipeline".
She has also promised to address police violence against black
Americans, and said she would ask for $1bn to train police departments
on how to overcome implicit racial bias, develop national guidelines on
police use of force, and support legislation to end racial profiling.
"The fact that the Black Lives Matter movement and other criminal
justice reformers have held her feet to the fire has helped her become a
lot more sensitive to how she shows up in those spaces," Burley said .
Burley has been an advocate for gun violence prevention since her early
teens. After her 20-year-old brother, Andre, was murdered in 2005,
Burley started a program at her high school to train other students to be
violence "interrupters" and peer mediators. It later expanded to 10 other
high schools across the city. At age 23, just days after becoming the first
sibling in her family to graduate from college, she was hired as the
executive director of Philadelphia's youth commission. In 2014, the
White House honored her as a " Champion of Change" on gun violence
prevention.
At Amnesty, Burley focused on building a united approach to gun
violence, police violence and criminal justice reform, rather than
viewing those issues as separate, siloed problems. She also worked to
improve communication between Amnesty's largely white and middle-
class membership and young Black Lives Matter advocates across the
country.
Part of that work meant educating members about the unintended
consequences of some gun violence prevention policies – particularly
when policies are only evaluated from the perspective of white
Americans. After the Orlando nightclub massacre of 49 people, for
instance, Democrats, including Clinton and Barack Obama, pushed to
pass legislation barring Americans on terror watchlists from being able
to buy guns.
That seemed like an obvious move for many Americans. But at Amnesty,
Burley put out a statement opposing the "no fly, no buy" measures as
"false solutions to the real threats of gun violence and terrorism". The
plan threatened due process safeguards for Americans, particularly
minorities, she noted, given the often secretive and arbitrary nature of the
watchlists.
Why Trump's bump in the polls is more significant than ever
In the past week, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has
risen 3.5 points in national polling averages. That might not sound like
much, but it has been enough for him to nudge him 0.2 points ahead of
Democrat Hillary Clinton. And Trump's latest polling rise is particularly
significant because it might be based on more honest survey respondents.
Three major polls have been conducted since Trump delivered his
nomination acceptance speech at the Republican national convention last
Thursday (and a fourth poll was conducted from 18 to 24 July, so it
included some respondents who might have also heard the speech). All
four polls found that Trump was leading over Clinton. Together, they
were enough to shift the average in Trump's favor.
Post-convention popularity bounces have
occurred in previous election cycles, too –
and they're not always sustained. But this
Trump bump could be different when you
consider that Trump is no ordinary
presidential nominee. The divisive
candidate typically does better in online polling than in telephone
polling. That gap suggests that some people who intend to vote for
Trump are unwilling to say so when they're being questioned by a human
voice rather than a computer screen. It's worth noting that in the lead-up
to the British referendum about the European Union (another incredibly
divisive political issue), online polls consistently got closer to predicting
the eventual result than telephone ones did.
Three of the four latest polls that showed Trump ahead of Clinton were
conducted via telephone. So, maybe the latest polling boost for Trump
isn't about increasing popularity but about emboldened supporters who
now feel more comfortable expressing their voting intent to a stranger.
If that is the case, then maybe we haven't reached peak Trump just yet.
And the timing of maximum Trump support is (to state the obvious)
essential. At this stage in the election cycle, with almost four months to
go before votes are cast, polling averages still need to be treated with
caution – intentions can, and will, change. But that same logic also
suggests that Trump's latest rise in general election polling is more
important than previous ones because voters are getting closer to making
up their minds.
That said, the size of the bump in polling averages matters because
national outcomes don't neatly translate geographically. To win in
November, Trump needs to win enough of the "right" states, meaning
those states with a large number of electoral votes. Take Florida for
example. The state wields 29 electoral votes (of the 270 that are needed
to win the presidency), and it has been a fierce political battleground
(Florida has flipped between Republicans and Democrats three times in
the past six elections).
Currently, polling averages suggest Trump is ahead in Florida – but only
just. The Republican will need to increase his current lead of 0.3 points if
he wants to secure this important win. The question, in Florida and
around the country, is whether these numbers accurately reflect the
extent of Trump's support or whether some voters are still keeping their
political opinions to themselves.

Michael Jordan: 'I can no longer stay silent' on violence in America
Michael Jordan released a statement on Monday in response to the
shootings of African-Americans and the targeting of police officers.
"As a proud American, a father who lost his own dad in a senseless act of
violence, and a black man, I have been deeply troubled by the deaths of
African-Americans at the hands of law enforcement and angered by the
cowardly and hateful targeting and killing of police officers," Jordan
wrote in a one-page letter for The Undefeated. "I grieve with the families
who have lost loved ones, as I know their pain all too well."
In his statement Jordan announced a pair of
$1m donations to groups dedicated toward
improving relations between police and the
community: the recently established
Institute for Community-Police Relations
and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the
nation's oldest civil rights law organization.
Added Jordan: "I was raised by parents who taught me to love and
respect people regardless of their race or background, so I am saddened
and frustrated by the divisive rhetoric and racial tensions that seem to be
getting worse as of late. I know this country is better than that, and I can
no longer stay silent. We need to find solutions that ensure people of
color receive fair and equal treatment AND that police officers – who put
their lives on the line every day to protect us all – are respected and
supported.
"Over the past three decades I have seen up
close the dedication of the law enforcement
officers who protect me and my family. I
have the greatest respect for their sacrifice
and service. I also recognize that for many
people of color their experiences with law
enforcement have been different than mine. I have decided to speak out
in the hope that we can come together as Americans, and through
peaceful dialogue and education, achieve constructive change."
The remarks are especially noteworthy given Jordan's well-documented
reticence to speak on political issues. But with violence reaching
epidemic levels on America's streets, more and more athletes have felt
compelled to use their platforms to serve the greater good.
"We are privileged to live in the world's greatest country – a country that
has provided my family and me the greatest of opportunities. The
problems we face didn't happen overnight and they won't be solved
tomorrow, but if we all work together, we can foster greater
understanding, positive change and create a more peaceful world for
ourselves, our children, our families and our communities."

How £30m-plus fees have become the norm in the Premier League
L

Premier League transfers:
who has done the best
business so far?
ucrative television deals, owners and investors with seemingly
bottomless pockets, financial fair play not necessarily being fair –
there are numerous reasons for the expeditious rise in Premier League
transfer fees.
Forty-five days remain in the transfer window and already last year's
record summer total of £822.5m appears set to be broken, and it may
reach £1bn if mooted moves such as Paul Pogba to Manchester United go
through. What this window has been most notable for so far, however, is
the arrival of a new barometer: the £30m fee.
There were five £30m-plus transfers last
summer but this year an amount unheard of
a decade and a half ago for the world's best
has become the norm for good – but
arguably not exceptional – players.
Sadio Mané, Granit Xhaka, Eric Bailly, Michy Batshuayi and N'Golo
Kanté have been transferred for around £30m each – but what would that
amount have bought in the past?
Fifteen years ago
Juan Sebastián Verón became the Premier League's record signing in
2001 when joining Manchester United from Lazio for £28.1m, a fee still
some way off the world record €75m (£46.6m) Real Madrid paid
Juventus for Zinedine Zidane that same year. Twelve months later Rio
Ferdinand moved to Old Trafford from Leeds for £29.1m but with add-
ons and fees bringing the total to around £34m, he again broke the British
record and became the world's most expensive defender for a second
time after Lilian Thuram's move to Juventus had usurped the £18m
Leeds United spent on bringing Ferdinand to Elland Road from West
Ham United.
Ten years ago
In a list of the top 50 transfers of all time, what is perhaps most
noticeable – apart from the majority at the top being quite recent – is a
gap between 2002 and 2006 where no record fees were set. However, in
2006 Andriy Shevchenko joined Chelsea for £30.8m and two years later
the nouveau riche Manchester City muscled in with the acquisition of
Robinho from Real Madrid for £32.5m. City's convoluted signing of
Carlos Tevez 12 months later for £47.5m took the spend of English clubs
to a new level.
Five years ago
Even in 2011, fees above £30m were not common and were reserved,
with only a couple of exceptions, for the world's best players. Cesc
Fàbregas's return to Barcelona earned Arsenal £38m, while Manchester
City spent the same amount on Sergio Agüero. An English record had
been set with Fernando Torres's £50m move from Liverpool to Chelsea
on the final day of the winter window, although Andy Carroll moved
from Newcastle United to Anfield for £35m on the same day. Liverpool,
it should be noted, had also signed Luis Suárez on the same day for
£22.8m, a price that in hindsight was a bargain.
Last summer
Transfer spending has steadily risen in recent years – Arsenal paying big
money for Mesut Özil in 2013 and Alexis Sánchez in 2014, while Chelsea
offloaded Juan Mata and David Luiz in the winter and summer transfer
windows respectively two years ago – but last season marked a watershed
as Stoke City and Crystal Palace flexed their newfound financial
strength. The five moves costing more than £30m belonged to three of
the elite, though. Manchester City spent a combined £134m on Nicolás
Otamendi, Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne, and Anthony Martial
became the world's most expensive teenager when joining Manchester
United from Monaco for £36m.
The most interesting of all, however, is Christian Benteke, considering
Liverpool's desire to offload him and Crystal Palace's willingness to
spend almost the same amount to buy the striker this summer. His
£32.5m transfer from Aston Villa to Anfield was an eyebrow-raising fee
for a player most notable for saving a team from relegation.

Antonio Conte convinced me to leave Leicester for Chelsea, says N’Golo Kanté
N'Golo Kanté has revealed that a speech from Antonio Conte helped to
convince him to leave Leicester City for Chelsea.
The midfielder, 25, completed a move to
Stamford Bridge on Saturday in what was a
club-record sale for Leicester, with the fee
thought to be worth around £32m to the
Premier League champions.
Kanté, who was part of the France squad
who reached the final of Euro 2016 on home soil, had moved to the King
Power Stadium only 12 months ago but enjoyed a stellar first season in
England – playing a major role in delivering the title to Leicester.
But, as part of an Instagram post which also paid tribute to the victims of
the Nice terror attack, Kanté said words from the new Chelsea manager
were enough for him to leave the title holders.
"At the beginning of the new season I chose to join @chelseafc," he
wrote. "It is a great club, which has just recruited a great coach and want
to reach high ambitions I share. The club's project and the coach's
speech have convinced me to join this new ambitious adventure.
"I am now waiting to see my new club and give everything for a
successful summer... And season of course!"
Kanté is the first big-name player to leave
Leicester since their unexpected title
triumph, with the top goalscorer, Jamie
Vardy, turning down the chance to join
Arsenal and instead signing a new deal with
Claudio Ranieri's side.
However, reports persist that the winger Riyad Mahrez could also soon
be on his way out, having turned down his own fresh contract offer.
Kanté became an instant hit with the Leicester fans and was quick to
thank them for their support during what turned out to be an
unforgettable year for the former Caen midfielder, who also made his
international debut while at Leicester.
"The 2015-2016 past season will remain as an important season for me,"
he wrote.
"After a fantastic season, it ended with a final of Euro 2016. We lost but
we can be proud. The fervour of the French people have given us strength
and I wanted to say thank you all.
"Of course it has to be appreciated according to the attack that struck in
Nice in 14 July and I have at this point a sincere thought for all the
victims and their families.
"This season I also discovered the Premier League with @lcfc. I want to
thank the leaders, my teammates and Claudio Ranieri for this fantastic
season that saw us winning the title of England. Their confidence and
also the fans will forever remain in my memory. And I again thank you
all."
Kanté is Chelsea's second piece of major transfer business following the
acquisition of the Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi from Marseille.

Sunderland confirm David Moyes to replace Sam Allardyce as manager
"I am delighted to have joined Sunderland," said Moyes, who had been
out of work since being sacked by Real Sociedad in November. "I am
relishing the challenge and excited by the opportunity," continued the 53-
year-old former Manchester United and Everton manager. "I have taken
over a big British club, with a great support and I'm looking forward to
working in the Premier League again. I look forward to continuing the
good work done by Sam."
Moyes has been given a four-year contract at the Stadium of Light and
the mission of keeping the club out of the relegation fights into which it
has made a draining habit of becoming embroiled in the past four
seasons. Doing so would help the Scot to restore the glowing reputation
he earned during a decade in charge of Everton but which has been dulled
by failure in his last two jobs, at United and in Spain.
Rather than dwell on the inconvenience of losing Allardyce so close to
the start of the new Premier League season, Sunderland's owner, Ellis
Short, celebrated recruiting a manager whom he said he had been trying
to attract for years.
"We are absolutely delighted to welcome David Moyes to Sunderland,
who was by far and away our first choice," said Ellis. "He is a man whose
football pedigree speaks for itself and is someone I have long admired"
The American added that Allardyce may never have been lured to the
Stadium of Light in the first place had Moyes had been available. "I have
spoken with him on many occasions and I have always been hugely
impressed. He was my No1 managerial target for the last five
appointment but his desire to honour existing contracts meant we were
not able to bring him to Sunderland previously. To be able to welcome
him as our manager is fantastic news for the club."
Sunderland will hope the rapid transition will help the Wearsiders
maintain the positive momentum that enabled them to make a late surge
for survival last season and enjoy the safety of 17th place as well as the
satisfaction of seeing their north-east rivals Newcastle United go down
instead.
Sunderland seems a more natural habitat for Moyes than Old Trafford or
Spain and he inherits a team that gradually found a method and spirit
under Allardyce that was comparable to the efficiency of Moyes'
Everton. Sunderland's late escape owed much to the purchases of Lamine
Koné, Jan Kirchhoff and Wahbi Khazri in January, but the club has not
yet reinforced the playing staff this summer and it remains to be seen
what transfer funds will be made available to Moyes by Short, who let it
be known in March that he is open to offers to buy the club he took over
in 2008.
At Goodison Park Moyes was accustomed to making the most of limited
resources and proved adept at sourcing bargains in the transfer market,
especially in the lower leagues, which is where he found such gems as
Tim Cahill, Phil Jagielka and Joleon Lescott. He may have to perform
similar feats at Sunderland.
Moyes and his team will have to get up to speed fast for his first match
back in the Premier League since presiding over Manchester United's 2-0
defeat to Everton in April 2014, as they start their campaign as the first
visitors to Pep Guardiola's Manchester City on 13 August. Their first
home game is a local derby against Middlesbrough.
out of work since being sacked by Real Sociedad in November. "I am
relishing the challenge and excited by the opportunity," continued the 53-
year-old former Manchester United and Everton manager. "I have taken
over a big British club, with a great support and I'm looking forward to
working in the Premier League again. I look forward to continuing the
good work done by Sam."
Moyes has been given a four-year contract at the Stadium of Light and
the mission of keeping the club out of the relegation fights into which it
has made a draining habit of becoming embroiled in the past four
seasons. Doing so would help the Scot to restore the glowing reputation
he earned during a decade in charge of Everton but which has been dulled
by failure in his last two jobs, at United and in Spain.
Rather than dwell on the inconvenience of losing Allardyce so close to
the start of the new Premier League season, Sunderland's owner, Ellis
Short, celebrated recruiting a manager whom he said he had been trying
to attract for years.
"We are absolutely delighted to welcome David Moyes to Sunderland,
who was by far and away our first choice," said Ellis. "He is a man whose
football pedigree speaks for itself and is someone I have long admired"
The American added that Allardyce may never have been lured to the
Stadium of Light in the first place had Moyes had been available. "I have
spoken with him on many occasions and I have always been hugely
impressed. He was my No1 managerial target for the last five
appointment but his desire to honour existing contracts meant we were
not able to bring him to Sunderland previously. To be able to welcome
him as our manager is fantastic news for the club."
Sunderland will hope the rapid transition will help the Wearsiders
maintain the positive momentum that enabled them to make a late surge
for survival last season and enjoy the safety of 17th place as well as the
satisfaction of seeing their north-east rivals Newcastle United go down
instead.
Sunderland seems a more natural habitat for Moyes than Old Trafford or
Spain and he inherits a team that gradually found a method and spirit
under Allardyce that was comparable to the efficiency of Moyes'
Everton. Sunderland's late escape owed much to the purchases of Lamine
Koné, Jan Kirchhoff and Wahbi Khazri in January, but the club has not
yet reinforced the playing staff this summer and it remains to be seen
what transfer funds will be made available to Moyes by Short, who let it
be known in March that he is open to offers to buy the club he took over
in 2008.
At Goodison Park Moyes was accustomed to making the most of limited
resources and proved adept at sourcing bargains in the transfer market,
especially in the lower leagues, which is where he found such gems as
Tim Cahill, Phil Jagielka and Joleon Lescott. He may have to perform
similar feats at Sunderland.
Moyes and his team will have to get up to speed fast for his first match
back in the Premier League since presiding over Manchester United's 2-0
defeat to Everton in April 2014, as they start their campaign as the first
visitors to Pep Guardiola's Manchester City on 13 August. Their first
home game is a local derby against Middlesbrough.
Manchester United v Manchester City game called off in Beijing over pitch fear
The Manchester derby in Beijing has been called off less than six hours
before it was due to be staged at the National Stadium due to concern
over the pitch, with Manchester United saying they and Manchester City
took the decision jointly.
A statement from a United spokesperson
said: "Due to recent weather events,
tournament organisers and participating
clubs have made the decision to cancel
tonight's International Champions Cup
fixture to be played in Beijing tonight, 25
July."
The unfit nature of the surface following recent heavy rain meant United
and City were forced to train at the nearby Olympic Sports Village and
both José Mourinho and Pep Guardiola were clear that their players could
be injured when speaking on Sunday before Monday's game.
Despite these valid concerns the decision not play what would have been
the first derby overseas is an embarrassment for each club. It is expected
fans will be reimbursed.
United's executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, said: "It's extremely
disappointing not to be able to play the game in this amazing stadium but
the recent torrential rain would have caused problems anywhere in the
world and has left the pitch unplayable.
"We know our fans in China will, like the players and staff, be saddened
by the cancellation of the match but I am sure they appreciate that the
player safety has to be the top priority. I am sure we will return to the
Bird's Nest in the future to give them the chance to see the team in
action."
The decision to call off the match followed a pitch inspection by
representatives of United, City, the International Champions Cup and its
technical advisers, the Sports Turf Research Institute.
United are due to fly home from Beijing as planned on Monday night.
Some of their squad who were not scheduled to play have done light
training but City, who fly to Shenzhen on Tuesday for Thursday's game
against Borussia Dortmund, have not trained.
City's chief executive, Ferran Soriano, said the club "remain committed
to playing here in the future".
The defender Vincent Kompany said: "It's sad for us, it's sad for our
fans. Obviously it's disappointing because we looked forward to playing
a derby in Beijing for a long time. We had our groundsman working for
10 days on the pitch, but the conditions were just too dangerous for the
players. It's sad to call it off, but I think mainly we want to thank all the
fans for their passion, for the way they've received us in Beijing."
He added: "It's been a special experience and everything in China has
been greater than life itself almost; it's been a truly a unique experience
and it's hard to put it into words when a big event like this is not
happening, but I do feel it's not the last time we will come to Beijing. If
we're patient, like Chinese people are, then good things will come around
again and we'll be here again … We have fans all over the world, and as
much as we like to come and see you guys, there's always an opportunity
for you to come and see us in Manchester."

Growing pains 2
Kate continued to masturbate her cousins clitoris,
Ryan felt as if his cock was going to burst at any
moment, all this was too much. First sexual
starvation and now overload - WOW! Judy reached
down suddenly and in one motion removed her
panties, she was now open for full exploration by
Kate's fingers, Judy then lifted her knees slightly
and parted them as far as the couch would allow,
in doing so the cheeks of her buttocks had parted,
exposing the pink, puckered area that was her
anus. Ryan stared in amazement as Kate slid her
now very wet fingers downwards, pushing her
fingers between the lips as she did so, until she
reached the entrance to Judy's vagina where she
parted her fingers and in so doing parted Judy's
lips. Judy's opening was gently stretched open until
Ryan was shown exactly what a woman's most
secret place looked like. The soft pink folds shone
with the wetness that escaped from deep inside
Judy and out onto the outer lips and Kate's fingers.
As if on cue the girls suddenly got up and came
towards Ryan, it seemed as if they moved in slow
motion, both of them undressing as they
approached, the strip of soft hair between Kate's
legs contrasting sharply with the seductive gap
between Judy's where her fully erect clitoris was
clearly visible. Both girls were fully aroused,
breathing heavily and Ryan noticed that their
nipples were fully erect, the aureolas puckered up
around the nipple made darker by the lust burning
from between their thighs. As they got nearer Ryan
noticed a strong musky smell coming from the
girls, a smell he had never experienced before, a
strong aroma which turned him on like never
before. Kate made the first move, pushing him
back onto the couch and climbing up to straddle
him with her pussy right in front of his face. From
close up he could see Kate's clit nestled between
the tight lips of her vagina, Kates outer lips were
darker than Judy's with a tight slit, unlike Judy her
inner lips were not visible unless her thighs were
fully parted and the aroused outer lips gently
pulled apart. Kate took Ryan by the back of the
head and gently drew his mouth into the space
between her open legs, she was shaking slightly, a
result of her high level of arousal.
Ryan was unsure of what to do next, he had read
about how to arouse a woman orally but had no
idea of what to do - until his lips touched her for
the first time and instinct took over. He put out his
tongue and gently pressed over the swollen tip of
Kate's clitoris, the result was immediate, Kate
thrust her hips forward, exposing more of her
vagina to his tongue and moaned deeply. Ryan
increased the pressure on his tongue, pressing it
between Kate's lips opening her up to his probing
mouth.
Kate spread her legs as far as she could and
reaching down with her free hand she parted the
outer lips of her pussy, exposing her clit and inner
lips to Ryan's mouth. Ryan gently sucked on Kate's
clit, running his tongue around the base of the
shaft, teasing her, increasing her arousal. Ryan
was getting the hang of this now, suck and she
moans, tease with your tongue and she thrusts
forward in an attempt to get closer to his hot, wet
mouth. Ryan could feel Kate's clitoris swelling even
more as he sucked hard on it. The tip was hot
against the tip of his tongue and it tasted like
copper. The smell of her aroused pussy was
incredible and he breathed her in deeply.
Ryan felt his baggies being drawn down over his
thighs and his erection spring free. He kicked his
baggies free and opened his legs, he was far too
aroused to think about being shy now. Judy's
fingers were around his shaft for the second time
that day but this time all they did was to retract his
foreskin to fully expose the head of his penis for
Judy's inspection. Suddenly there was a warm wet
sensation engulfing the end of his shaft, Ryan was
so surprised he forgot to continue teasing Kate's
clitoris with his tongue but she reminded him as
she thrust her vagina deeper into his mouth. Judy
had taken Ryan into her mouth and was slowly
moving up and down his shaft, stopping at the
head, running her tongue around the tip and then
continuing downwards again. It felt as if his brains
would burst, it was so nice it hurt. His toes were
curled and he had an urge to push the full length
of his penis into the warmth.
Before he could move Kate shifted slightly, lifting
her one leg she removed her pussy from his
mouth, she then pushed Ryan down gently with
her hands, Judy followed him down. Ryan was now
almost flat on his back on the couch with Judy
slowly pushing his penis in and out of her hot little
mouth and Kate hovered above him. Kate again
spread her thighs over his mouth only this time
she was in a position to fully expose herself to his
mouth as there was more space and she could
position him deeper between her legs. Ryan saw
her reach down and again prepare to open herself
to him. She placed her fingers, one on each
swollen lip and gently drew them apart. Kate's
inner lips were small and tight and did little to hide
the secret opening between them. As Kate parted
her outer lips Ryan could immediately see the wet
opening of her waiting vulva. As Ryan watched so
he saw the hole opening and closing slightly as
Kate's inner muscles anticipated the intrusion that
was to come. Kate lowered herself downward and
Ryan got his first taste of the liquid honey that only
a woman can produce when she is fully aroused.
Kate's outer lips closed around Ryan's mouth
leaving her hole open and waiting for his tongue to
explore her inner folds. As Ryan inserted his
tongue into Kate her vulva tightened around it
seemingly trying to suck it deeper into her. Kate let
out a long moan " I am going to cum in his mouth
" Ryan heard her tell Judy. "Well I think he is about
to cum in mine "Judy replied " and I wish he
would" Kate started to move in Ryan's mouth,
thrusting her hips back and forth, rubbing the full
length of her vagina in Ryan's mouth. Her
movements became more urgent and exaggerated
as she approached orgasm.
Judy was holding the head of Ryan's penis in her
mouth while she pumped her hand up and down
his shaft. He felt his penis twitch as his balls
tightened, ready to release their load. Judy must
have known he was about to come because she
pumped furiously on his shaft but kept her mouth
firmly around the tip of his penis. Kate shouted
that she was comming, thrust her clitoris into
Ryan's mouth and dug her nails into his shoulder.
That was it for Ryan and he came in Judy's mouth.
Judy didn't stop pumping the shaft until the last
drop of sperm had shot out of Ryan's penis and it
just twitched in her hand. Kate continued
cumming, her vulva convulsing and her juices
running freely from deep inside her, eventually
she relaxed, spent. She got off and sat next to
Ryan, her legs spread wide apart. Judy sat back,
she was visibly excited, having had no manual
stimulation in a while.
Ryan's erection did not abate even though he had
just ejaculated he was still fully erect. Judy stood
up and approached Ryan, she pushed him up into
a sitting position and then straddled his legs so
that her open vagina was positioned over the head
of his penis. Kate, seeing what Judy wanted went
down on her knees next to the couch and took
Ryan's shaft in her one hand, placing her thumb
over the hole at the tip she slowly circled the hole,
still wet and slippery from his recent ejaculation,
at the same time she reached under Judy and
carefully parted her aroused lips. Kate guided
Judy's vagina over the tip of Ryan's erection,
passing her circling thump teasingly between the
lips of Judy's waiting pussy, rubbing the now open
entrance.
Judy slowly began to lower herself over Ryan, at
first Kate kept the tip of her thumb in place, but as
the pressure between Judy's vulva and Ryan's
penis increased so she slid her thumb out of the
way. Ryan felt the heat from Judy immediately, he
could feel the elastic opening stretching to fit him
inside. He felt the exact moment that the head of
his penis penetrated Judy's vulva and he felt her
inner muscles contract around the head,
convulsing with pleasure, massaging him. Kate did
not relinquish her hold around the base of his
shaft and she moved her hand up and down,
increasing Ryan's pleasure.
Judy continued her downward pressure, gently
inserting more and more of Ryan's length up
inside her, her slippery, wet heat causing waves of
pleasure to ripple through Ryan's body. Kate
moved her hand downwards to allow deeper
penetration until she had room only to hold onto
the base of Ryan's shaft, her fingers firmly against
Judy's open vulva where Ryan's penis entered her.
Judy started to move, slowly retreating off of the
throbbing shaft and then returning to insert it back
into the burning heat that she felt up inside her.
She held Ryan behind the head and pulled his
mouth over one of her nipples which was moving
erotically up and down in front of his face. He felt
the swollen nipple in he mouth and instinctively
started gently nibbling and sucking on the firm
flesh which had so long eluded him. As Ryan
sucked so Judy started moaning and bucked faster
up and down on his rod, thrusting her hips back
and forth in an attempt to force the pleasure that
she felt deeper up inside her. Kate's hand
following her every movement on Ryan's shaft.
Ryan placed a hand over Judy's other breast and
gently squeezed the firm swelling, Judy went wild,
moving faster and faster on Ryan. Ryan knew that
he was about to come and that between the wet,
warm tightness that he felt around him and Kate's
hand moving up and down his shaft, he would not
be able to hold back.
"I'm going to cum inside you " he told Judy
breathlessly.
"Don't stop, I'm safe " she hissed between her
clenched teeth. Ryan felt his penis swell even more
as it readied to ejaculate up into Judy's vagina and
Kate felt it too. " He's going to cum Judy " she said
and moved her hand downwards on Ryan's shaft,
retracting his foreskin away from the head of his
penis and giving Judy the full sensation of the head
moving in and out of her.
"Ohhhh Nooo" Judy cried a her orgasm took hold
of her. Ryan released the nipple in his mouth, put
his head back and gave himself over to the orgasm
that hit him with such force that he thought he
would pass out. He felt the semen shooting up
through his shaft past Kate's fingers and up into
Judy. His shaft and Judy's inner muscles twitched
in unison, with each spasm a new load of hot,
white fluid shot from him into his cousins
convulsing vagina.
It took a long while for Ryan to come to his senses.
When he did his cousins were on the couch on
either side of him, grinning . "That was great " he
breathed " Lets do it again "
Needless to say, the cousins visited often from
then on, sometimes together and sometimes
alone. Whatever the case, they practised every
form of sexual pleasure on each other that they
possibly could, as often as they could. Oh - the
pains of growing up.

growing pains 1
Lying on his bed looking at the ceiling was boring...
Ryan, like any other eighteen year old, had
hormones that were in turmoil, boundless energy
and was permanently horny. There was nothing
better to do that afternoon but to lie on the bed,
look at the ceiling and try to fall asleep. Ryan's
thoughts wondered in the direction they normally
went - girls and sex, he felt the first stirrings of an
erection and looking downwards he could see the
outline of his swelling penis through the pair of
briefs that he was wearing and there was not much
that the thin fabric could do to stop the bulge from
growing.
Ryan had very little practical sexual experience
and he burned to learn more. He was an only child
with no sisters to grow up with, his experience of
the female anatomy was that gleaned from
catching a quick glimpse between the legs of his
cousins when they came to visit. As the cousins
became older so they became more aware of what
they had between those legs and so the glimpses
became fewer and farther between as they learned
to keep their knees tightly together. His favourite
cousins, Kate and Judy both eighteen, occasionally
flashed their panties at him. Ryan was convinced
that they did it on purpose just to see the lump in
his jeans become bigger and more uncomfortable
and they would whisper to each other and giggle.
Just thinking about Kate and Judy was enough to
make him push his hand down the front of his
briefs and pull his erection free from the confined
space inside. He took the shaft in his hand and
slowly pulled downwards, retracting his foreskin
and exposing the swollen head. He was well hung
for his age with a good eight inch shaft and well
defined head. Ryan remembered the day, not long
age, that his cousins had come to visit.
They had all been swimming, the girls were in two
piece bikinis and Ryan could not keep his eyes off
them. He swam past them under water so that
they could not see that he was watching them. The
fabric of their costumes clung tightly to their
bodies in the water, perfectly outlining the shape
of their mounds and the swell of their firm breasts
tipped by nipples hardened by the cold water.
Ryan's hand was now stroking up and down the
shaft of his penis, pushing the foreskin over the
head and retracting it again, continuously rubbing
around the sensitive area at the base of the head.
Ryan could still picture how Judy had sat on the
edge of the pool directly in front of him, looked
him straight in the eye and opened her legs to
expose the area between her thighs. He had
nervously looked down to see where the fabric of
her bikini had pulled up in between outer lips of
her vagina, perfectly outlining the shape of the one
thing which he yearned to see fully exposed. There
were fine hairs peeping out from the sides of the
costume, teasing him, mocking him just as surly as
Judy was mocking him by spreading her legs for
him, knowing that it drove him wild and he could
do nothing about it.
By now Ryan was rubbing his erection at a rate
which was fast bringing on an orgasm, he could
feel the head of his penis swelling even more as it
readied to shoot a stream of hot sperm out onto
the wall next to his bed.
"Hi Ryan" purred a female voice from the
doorway.
Ryan looked up in total surprise to see Judy
standing in the doorway looking straight at his fully
erect cock, not taking her eyes off of it for a
second. "We've come to visit for the weekend" she
said as he tried desperately to cover himself from
her stare.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone I caught you
wanking if you don't, oh, and by the way...nice dick
"
What could he say? She had caught him
masterbating just as he was about to cum, he
hadn't heard her come in and he had no idea how
long she had been standing there watching him. All
that he could stammer was something about him
joining them shortly and she left.
All traces of his formerly rampant hardon were
gone. He knew that she would tell her cousin and
from there on it would escalate until the whole
town knew. It was a long time before Ryan
ventured out of his room, expecting loud jeers- but
there were none. Nobody mentioned a word about
what Judy had seen, she just looked at him when
no-one was watching and gave him a knowing
smile. As he watched her she slowly looked down
until her eyes were directly on the lump in his
shorts. He could not believe it, Judy, the cousin
that always made fun of him, was openly staring at
his penis. No remarks of ridicule were passed this
time, but if he had been able to recognise lust he
would have seen it in his cousins eyes as her gaze
yet again caused Ryan to get an erection.
Ryan spent the afternoon with the family but could
not stop thinking about what had happened
earlier, every time he looked at Judy his thick shaft
swelled in his pants. He found himself watching
her every move, how her skirt lifted teasingly,
almost revealing more but not quite, the swell of
her breasts under her tight cotton shirt and how
her nipples became erect if she looked down at
the lump in his shorts. He soon realised that he
was having the same effect on her as she was
having on him, he wasn't sure of how much he was
arousing her because he had no idea of what to
look for. He knew that woman could not get a
visible erection so what other signs should he look
for?
Later the families were around the pool. Ryan and
the two girls were in the water. Ryan, as usual, had
trouble keeping his eyes in his head as the girls
wrestled with each other. At one stage Kate almost
lost her top and Ryan had a full view of her firm
breasts, seemingly floating, just above the water.
Her nipples were erect due to the cold water and
Ryan stared openly at them as Kate repositioned
her top, knowing full well that Ryan could see her
naked breasts but making no attempt to turn away.
Kate looked around to make sure that none of the
parents had seen her allowing Ryan to see her
exposed breasts. This confused Ryan. He had
enjoyed seeing his cousin's naked breasts but why
had she allowed him to see them?
Ryan saw the girls whispering to each other.
"Here it comes" he thought "back to their old
tricks" He turned his back on them and swam to
the side. The parents were all moving inside, Ryan
floated at the one end of the pool looking up at the
sky, it was almost dark and the lights around the
pool came on, throwing shadows over the water.
Suddenly Judy and Kate were right beside him.
Each took a shoulder and they pushed him under
the water, at first he fought going under but he
became aware of two female bodies very close to
his, rubbing against him. As he went under he felt
his arm brush against Judy's breasts, he almost
choked. As he continued to pretend to resist them
he was pulled up again to breath and his other
hand touched Kate's leg - wow, this was great.
Down he went again and this time his hand was
pushed behind Kate and came to rest on her thigh
just below her the elastic of her costume. He kept
his hand there, waiting for it to be pulled away, but
it wasn't.
Ryan felt his heart beating as if wanted to climb
out of his chest, by now his penis was so hard he
could feel it throbbing inside the baggies he was
wearing.
The girls brought him up for air again and it was
now obvious that they had no intention of
drowning him, far from it because his other hand
was strategically placed over the swollen left
breast of Judy. Both girls were breathing heavily,
their breasts rising and falling in time.
With each breath Judy's breast was pressed firmly
into the palm of Ryan's hand, he could feel the
erect nipple in the centre of his palm and
instinctively closed his hand around the mound.
Judy gasped at his touch and Ryan started to
release his grip, Judy brought her other hand up
and covered his, pressing his palm firmly against
the swollen breast in his hand, she moaned softly.
Neither of the girls said anything, to anyone
outside the pool it looked as if the three of them
were resting at the one end of the pool, but to the
three inside the pool the time for making fun of
each other had suddenly ended and would never
be the same again.
Kate stood very still, took Ryan's hand off of the
back of her thigh and slowly rubbed the palm of
his hand upwards over the top of the costume
covering the one firm cheek of her buttocks. She
rubbed in such a way that his fingers were pushed
between her thighs and he felt the first hint of the
soft heat that radiates from there. It was his turn
to gasp and Judy asked if he was enjoying himself,
he could not answer, it felt as if the water had
turned into melted butter and he was in a dream
from which he did not want to wake. Kate
continued rubbing Ryan's hand over her buttocks,
all the time pushing his fingers deeper between
her thighs and then up between the cheeks.
Judy had, in the meantime loosened her top and
pulled it out from beneath Ryan's fingers. There
was now nothing between his hand and Judy's
naked breast, she sucked in a deep breath as she
felt his warm fingers cover the curve of her and
she pressed against his hand. Ryan felt Judy lower
her other hand, touching his chest, slowly moving
her fingers up and down his chest, feeling his erect
nipples, tracing the outline of his muscles. He
knew he was going to come very soon, his balls
were aching, swollen to bursting point.
Ryan felt Kate moving, he realised that she was
slowly pulling her costume down and out from
under his fingers. He felt the waistband brush past
his fingers and then the first sensation of Kate's
naked flesh under his fingers. By now he was
getting the hang of things and felt that he knew
exactly what Kate wanted him to do and so he
placed his hand back where it had been. He felt
the warm space between her cheeks and traced it
with the tips of his fingers from top to where it
disappeared between her thighs. As Ryan's fingers
touched the top of Kate's thighs something
wonderful happened - she parted them, allowing
Ryan to continue into uncharted territory.
He pressed his fingers deeper between Kate's
thighs, very uncertain of what was going to
happen. He felt heat, the deeper he went, the
more heat he felt until suddenly his fingers made
contact with the swollen lips of her pussy. Ryan
was unsure of what to do next until Kate spread
her legs further and pressed back against his hand
automatically slightly opening her outer lips and
forcing the tips of his fingers deeper in between
them. To Ryan it was like sliding his fingers into
warm syrup, once his finger tips had parted the
lips there was no resistance due to Kate's level of
arousal and they glided inwards along the length
of the outer lips until they came in contact with the
tip of her clitoris. Kate moaned and pressed
against Ryan, she reached between her legs
guiding his hand again, rubbing his fingers against
her clit until she was nearing orgasm.
It was about that time that Judy, seeing what Ryan
was doing to her cousin allowed the hand that was
stroking Ryan's chest to slowly venture downwards
over the waistband of his baggies and onto the
fully hard shaft of his penis. She felt gently up and
down the shaft, the head was enormous and Ryan
knew he was about to spray semen all over the
inside of his baggies, but Judy was careful not to
make him come. Instead she slipped a hand under
the loose leg of his baggies up Ryan's thigh, lightly
brushing the soft skin between his thighs, under
Ryan's balls, then upwards encircling his balls
gently squeezing, feeling the soft spongy feeling
between her fingers before wrapping her fingers
around the base of his shaft, it throbbed, driven
almost to the point of no return by the touch of
her hand.
As Judy was getting her first feel of Ryan's penis
Kate had positioned herself in such a way as to be
able to introduce Ryan's fingers to the wet heat
that exists beyond the tight entrance of her vulva.
Kate had turned slightly to enable her to face Ryan
and lift her knees in order for him to fully explore
her vagina. Again she placed his hand between her
thighs and Ryan could feel that she was fully
exposed , noticing that she shaved her lips but left
a small strip of hair just above her clit. He looked
around quickly to check that the three of them
were still alone in the pool area before he felt Kate
again take his hand guiding his fingers to part her
lips and open the tight wet hole between them. At
first he was afraid he would hurt her by pressing
against the opening but she continued pressing
downward on his middle finger, guiding it up into
her until he felt the hole stretch open under the
pressure and his finger slide upward as the
tightness of her closed around his finger.
As his finger penetrated Kate's vulva for the first
time Judy was busy pulling Ryan's baggies down
below his knees. Again she took his penis in her
hand and slowly stroked up and down the shaft,
she pulled back Ryan's foreskin, exposing the head
to her, now shaking, hands. Judy explored every
part of Ryan's penis, paying particular attention to
the sensitive area under the head. Judy gently
pulled on Ryan's erection while placing her other
hand under his waist, the result was that his hips
were lifted out of the water, exposing his naked
erection while he floated on his back with his one
hand exploring Kate's vagina and the other gently
massaging Judy's breast. As Ryan's shaft broke the
surface both girls stared mesmerised at it as Judy
continued to slowly stroke the shaft.
"I'm going to cum" whispered Ryan.
At that he felt the inner muscles of Kate's vagina
spasm on his finger. "Me too" she moaned.
Ryan felt his orgasm start at his toes and rise
upwards towards his raging shaft. Nothing could
stop it now and he felt Judy press harder against
him. "I want to see the sperm shoot" she said and
pulled his foreskin right down, leaving the head
exposed to them to watch. After that things were a
blur, he saw a long streak of semen shoot out of
the end of his penis, Kate's vulva tightened around
his finger and Judy gasped as she reached down
between her legs, exploding into orgasm as soon
as she felt the pressure from her fingers on her
clit. Ryan felt as if he would never stop coming, he
saw his cock squirting semen over and over again,
with both girls watching as each pulse of his
orgasm caused his penis to jump in Judy's hand.
The spasms died down and Judy reluctantly
released Ryan's still hard penis. Ryan slowly
retracted his finger from its warm nest inside Kate,
feeling the tight inner muscles close behind his
finger.
"Wow!" whispered Judy, "that was great."
Slightly self consciously the three of them covered
up, not speaking, trying to absorb what had just
happened. Ryan still had a semi erection and was
still very horny, he knew that he could easily do it
over again but he wasn't sure of how the girls felt,
he was amazed that he had been allowed to touch
Kate's vagina and even thinking about the soft,
warm folds stirred his shaft into another throbbing
erection.
Dinner was very uncomfortable for Ryan, every
time one of the girls looked at him he found
himself remembering what had happened earlier
that afternoon in the pool.
He felt something touch his foot, Kate had
stretched out her leg under the table and was now
slowly rubbing her foot up the inside of his leg.
Ryan looked around nervously to see if anyone
had noticed what Kate was up to. Everyone carried
on eating and talking, oblivious to what was going
on under the table, everyone that is except Judy
who was watching Ryan's facial expression intently,
knowing full well what her industrious cousin was
intending. He frowned at Kate in the hope that she
would stop the upward journey of her foot
between his legs but she just smiled back at him in
mock innocence.
Her foot was now between his knees and he was
determined that it would get no further as his
thighs were together. Kate pushed her foot into the
narrow gap between his thighs, trying to force a
way in. Just the thought of what Kate was planning
made Ryan hard, he parted his thighs slightly to
allow Kate's foot to get closer to his burning root.
Kate took full advantage of the moment he relaxed
slightly and forced her foot up between his legs
until her toes made contact with his rigid shaft.
Ryan was caught by surprise and nearly gave the
game away as he jumped slightly. Kate rubbed her
toes gently up and down Ryan's shaft, he was
completely at her mercy as there was nothing he
could do to stop her without making a scene.
Saved by the bell!
Ryan's father announced that all the parents were
going out for the evening to visit friends and that
Ryan was to look after the girls whilst they were
gone. "Me look after them? I'm the one that needs
looking after" he thought when he saw the looks of
mischief on the faces of the girls.
They were all sitting watching t.v. when their
parents left, the girls both on one couch and Ryan
on another. The programme wasn't that good but
they were watching it anyway. The girls had earlier
changed into mini-dresses but Ryan was still in his
baggies but he had taken off his shirt. Out of the
corner of his eye he saw the girls shuffling around
but paid no attention to them, it was some time
before a low moan from Judy cause him to look in
their direction.
Judy was lying on her back with her head in her
cousins lap and her feet towards Ryan. Kate was
bent forward over Judy with her mouth firmly on
Judy's, Ryan could see their tongues playing with
each other. He was shocked at first, never having
seen anything like this before but he soon realised
that this was how the girls knew as much as they
did, they swapped information and practised on
each other. As he watched Kate reached down
between the legs of her cousin and cupped her
mound in her hand, gently massaging the softness
beneath the dress and panties.
Judy responded firstly by spreading her thighs to
allow Kate's hand deeper access between her legs,
and secondly she reached up and cupped Judy's
one breast in her hand, rubbing inwards until her
finger caressed the enlarged nipple. As Judy
spread her legs her short skirt pulled upwards,
giving Ryan a view of her panties where they
covered the entrance to her vagina before they
disappeared between the firm cheeks of her
buttocks. Kate slipped her hand under Judy's
dress, exposing her panties completely, Ryan
could see that they were transparent in front and
he then realised that Judy had no pubic hair, she
shaved her pussy completely leaving her clitoris
visible from where it stood out from between her
swollen lips.
Kate again covered her cousins mound with her
hand. Slipping her fingers deeply between Judy's
thighs she pressed her fingers against the fabric as
if she trying to penetrate her cousin's vagina
through her panties. Ryan could see the shape if
Judy's lips as Kate pressed the thin material
between them, parting the soft folds and causing
the outer lips to become fully visible to Ryan as
they were exposed by the retreating panties. Kate
continued to stimulate Judy as she rubbed her
middle finger slowly up and down from her clitoris
to her opening, pausing briefly at the opening each
time to feel the slippery wetness which was now
clearly visible on Judy's panties and on her
exposed lips. By now Ryan's penis was yet again
rock hard, both girls kept taking a peep at him to
be sure that he could see what was happening, his
eyes were glued to the space between Judy's legs
and to the hand which was stimulating Kate's, now
naked breasts as Judy had feed them from the top
of the mini-dress.
Kate then slipped her fingers under her cousins
panties from the side, this exposed Judy's entire
vagina to Ryan. He saw for the first time the pink
folds that were Judy's inner pussy lips and for a
fleeting moment he saw where the inner lips had
parted, slightly exposing the entrance to his
cousin's vulva. He only got a glimpse because the
secret opening was quickly covered by Kate's
finger. Ryan saw Kate gently part Judy's inner lips
and slowly insert her finger, moving in small
circles around the opening until Judy moaned. She
then slid her finger up along Judy's vagina until the
now wet, slippery fingertip came in contact with
Judy's exposed clit. Kate ignored Judy as she began
to thrust her hips towards her fingers in an
attempt to increase the pressure on the sensitive
tip, she teasingly circled her cousins erection, Ryan
could see the full length of Judy's clitoris as Kate
gently pulled back the hood covering the swollen
tip, she then gently rubbed the shaft, causing Judy
to arch her back in order to press her clitoris
harder against the source of the pleasure.
Ryan, like any other eighteen year old, had
hormones that were in turmoil, boundless energy
and was permanently horny. There was nothing
better to do that afternoon but to lie on the bed,
look at the ceiling and try to fall asleep. Ryan's
thoughts wondered in the direction they normally
went - girls and sex, he felt the first stirrings of an
erection and looking downwards he could see the
outline of his swelling penis through the pair of
briefs that he was wearing and there was not much
that the thin fabric could do to stop the bulge from
growing.
Ryan had very little practical sexual experience
and he burned to learn more. He was an only child
with no sisters to grow up with, his experience of
the female anatomy was that gleaned from

first he was afraid he would hurt her by pressing
against the opening but she continued pressing
downward on his middle finger, guiding it up into
her until he felt the hole stretch open under the
pressure and his finger slide upward as the
tightness of her closed around his finger.
As his finger penetrated Kate's vulva for the first
time Judy was busy pulling Ryan's baggies down
below his knees. Again she took his penis in her
hand and slowly stroked up and down the shaft,
she pulled back Ryan's foreskin, exposing the head
to her, now shaking, hands. Judy explored every
part of Ryan's penis, paying particular attention to
the sensitive area under the head. Judy gently
pulled on Ryan's erection while placing her other
hand under his waist, the result was that his hips
were lifted out of the water, exposing his naked
erection while he floated on his back with his one
hand exploring Kate's vagina and the other gently
massaging Judy's breast. As Ryan's shaft broke the
surface both girls stared mesmerised at it as Judy
continued to slowly stroke the shaft.
"I'm going to cum" whispered Ryan.
At that he felt the inner muscles of Kate's vagina
spasm on his finger. "Me too" she moaned.
Ryan felt his orgasm start at his toes and rise
upwards towards his raging shaft. Nothing could
stop it now and he felt Judy press harder against
him. "I want to see the sperm shoot" she said and
pulled his foreskin right down, leaving the head
exposed to them to watch. After that things were a
blur, he saw a long streak of semen shoot out of
the end of his penis, Kate's vulva tightened around
his finger and Judy gasped as she reached down
between her legs, exploding into orgasm as soon
as she felt the pressure from her fingers on her
clit. Ryan felt as if he would never stop coming, he
saw his cock squirting semen over and over again,
with both girls watching as each pulse of his
orgasm caused his penis to jump in Judy's hand.
The spasms died down and Judy reluctantly
released Ryan's still hard penis. Ryan slowly
retracted his finger from its warm nest inside Kate,
feeling the tight inner muscles close behind his
finger.
"Wow!" whispered Judy, "that was great."
Slightly self consciously the three of them covered
up, not speaking, trying to absorb what had just
happened. Ryan still had a semi erection and was
still very horny, he knew that he could easily do it
over again but he wasn't sure of how the girls felt,
he was amazed that he had been allowed to touch
Kate's vagina and even thinking about the soft,
warm folds stirred his shaft into another throbbing
erection.
Dinner was very uncomfortable for Ryan, every
time one of the girls looked at him he found
himself remembering what had happened earlier
that afternoon in the pool.
He felt something touch his foot, Kate had
stretched out her leg under the table and was now
slowly rubbing her foot up the inside of his leg.
Ryan looked around nervously to see if anyone
had noticed what Kate was up to. Everyone carried
on eating and talking, oblivious to what was going
on under the table, everyone that is except Judy
who was watching Ryan's facial expression intently,
knowing full well what her industrious cousin was
intending. He frowned at Kate in the hope that she
would stop the upward journey of her foot
between his legs but she just smiled back at him in
mock innocence.
Her foot was now between his knees and he was
determined that it would get no further as his
thighs were together. Kate pushed her foot into the
narrow gap between his thighs, trying to force a
way in. Just the thought of what Kate was planning
made Ryan hard, he parted his thighs slightly to
allow Kate's foot to get closer to his burning root.
Kate took full advantage of the moment he relaxed
slightly and forced her foot up between his legs
until her toes made contact with his rigid shaft.
Ryan was caught by surprise and nearly gave the
game away as he jumped slightly. Kate rubbed her
toes gently up and down Ryan's shaft, he was
completely at her mercy as there was nothing he
could do to stop her without making a scene.
Saved by the bell!
Ryan's father announced that all the parents were
going out for the evening to visit friends and that
Ryan was to look after the girls whilst they were
gone. "Me look after them? I'm the one that needs
looking after" he thought when he saw the looks of
mischief on the faces of the girls.
They were all sitting watching t.v. when their
parents left, the girls both on one couch and Ryan
on another. The programme wasn't that good but
they were watching it anyway. The girls had earlier
changed into mini-dresses but Ryan was still in his
baggies but he had taken off his shirt. Out of the
corner of his eye he saw the girls shuffling around
but paid no attention to them, it was some time
before a low moan from Judy cause him to look in
their direction.
Judy was lying on her back with her head in her
cousins lap and her feet towards Ryan. Kate was
bent forward over Judy with her mouth firmly on
Judy's, Ryan could see their tongues playing with
each other. He was shocked at first, never having
seen anything like this before but he soon realised
that this was how the girls knew as much as they
did, they swapped information and practised on
each other. As he watched Kate reached down
between the legs of her cousin and cupped her
mound in her hand, gently massaging the softness
beneath the dress and panties.
Judy responded firstly by spreading her thighs to
allow Kate's hand deeper access between her legs,
and secondly she reached up and cupped Judy's
one breast in her hand, rubbing inwards until her
finger caressed the enlarged nipple. As Judy
spread her legs her short skirt pulled upwards,
giving Ryan a view of her panties where they
covered the entrance to her vagina before they
disappeared between the firm cheeks of her
buttocks. Kate slipped her hand under Judy's
dress, exposing her panties completely, Ryan
could see that they were transparent in front and
he then realised that Judy had no pubic hair, she
shaved her pussy completely leaving her clitoris
visible from where it stood out from between her
swollen lips.
Kate again covered her cousins mound with her
hand. Slipping her fingers deeply between Judy's
thighs she pressed her fingers against the fabric as
if she trying to penetrate her cousin's vagina
through her panties. Ryan could see the shape if
Judy's lips as Kate pressed the thin material
between them, parting the soft folds and causing
the outer lips to become fully visible to Ryan as
they were exposed by the retreating panties. Kate
continued to stimulate Judy as she rubbed her
middle finger slowly up and down from her clitoris
to her opening, pausing briefly at the opening each
time to feel the slippery wetness which was now
clearly visible on Judy's panties and on her
exposed lips. By now Ryan's penis was yet again
rock hard, both girls kept taking a peep at him to
be sure that he could see what was happening, his
eyes were glued to the space between Judy's legs
and to the hand which was stimulating Kate's, now
naked breasts as Judy had feed them from the top
of the mini-dress.
Kate then slipped her fingers under her cousins
panties from the side, this exposed Judy's entire
vagina to Ryan. He saw for the first time the pink
folds that were Judy's inner pussy lips and for a
fleeting moment he saw where the inner lips had
parted, slightly exposing the entrance to his
cousin's vulva. He only got a glimpse because the
secret opening was quickly covered by Kate's
finger. Ryan saw Kate gently part Judy's inner lips
and slowly insert her finger, moving in small
circles around the opening until Judy moaned. She
then slid her finger up along Judy's vagina until the
now wet, slippery fingertip came in contact with
Judy's exposed clit. Kate ignored Judy as she began
to thrust her hips towards her fingers in an
attempt to increase the pressure on the sensitive
tip, she teasingly circled her cousins erection, Ryan
could see the full length of Judy's clitoris as Kate
gently pulled back the hood covering the swollen
tip, she then gently rubbed the shaft, causing Judy
to arch her back in order to press her clitoris
harder against the source of the pleasure.

Richard Dreyfuss: ‘When I die I want the chance to hit God in the face’
When I die I hope I'll have a chance to hit God in the face. If there is a
God he already knows about this and he'll get away – and as an agnostic I
probably won't get the chance. But he deserves it because of everything
that happens to you in the third act of life: it's humiliating and debasing.
My mother was my best friend. We talked about everything. I learned a
lot about women and sex from her. She once said to me: "Richard, to put
your mind at rest, there's nothing you don't do in the bedroom."
People say nice things to me about Jaws and Close Encounters. And I
say: "They're Steven's [Spielberg] films." I didn't do my films until The
Goodbye Girl. And then I did them for the rest of my life.
I love the ideals of my country. But I hate that we've been so denied any
real knowledge of the world and don't have the education to think
clearly, so we vote against our economic interest and believe in our most
shallow first thoughts of fear and hatred.
I'd hurt every girl I'd loved. I wrote letters, apologising. The response
was uniform: 'This ship has sailed, pal'
I think I have the finest body of work of any American actor. It truly
reflects my principles. But I am perceived as someone who has fallen.
That I was a big hoo-ha in the 70s and fell away. I see it as I didn't want
to be top of the top, because none of them leave their homes or have a
normal life. I was given the chance to get up there and I turned it down.
One day I realised I'd hurt every girl I'd ever loved. I had thought I
was a really good guy before that. I gathered myself together and wrote
letters, apologising. The response was uniform: "This ship has sailed,
pal."
I knew I was a manic depressive when I was 13 or 14, and I loved it. I
always told people what I had and I was always cresting on a manic
wave. I used it, willingly and happily, and it was an extraordinary
experience. When I got hit with the depressive side – Boom! – yes, it was
horrible and unendurable, but that's part of the story.
I never shared my life with anyone until I met Svetlana [Dreyfuss's
third wife]. I was staying in a hotel where she worked when she knocked
on my door, saying: "You should take better care of your things," and
handed me my passport. We talked and I invited her in. Eventually, I
said: "Well, I guess you'd better get back." We both stood up, I took a
deep breath and kissed her. She ran out of the room. I thought: "This is
going to be great."
Trump is an intemperate, mean-spirited, lying bully. If a man like that
asked you for permission to marry your daughter, what would your
answer be? If it's no, I think it's obvious we shouldn't give him the most
powerful office on the face of the Earth.
I was never a Hollywood insider. I had to learn that people do unethical
things and it's just business. I took it all personally and still do.

Isis claims responsibility for Kabul fatal bomb attack on Hazara protesters
At least 80 people have been killed and hundreds injured after two
suicide bombers struck a peaceful protest in Kabul by a Shia minority
group.
Responsibility for the attack, which appears to have targeted a
demonstration by the Hazara minority, was claimed by Islamic State via
the group's news agency, Amaq. If true, it would mark the first attack by
Isis in Kabul, and its largest ever in Afghanistan.
According to a spokesman for the Afghan
interior ministry, 231 people were
wounded, though this figure could rise.
The attack, the deadliest in Kabul since
2001, has raised fears of an intensification
in sectarian conflict. Since Afghanistan's civil war in the 1990s the
country has largely been spared the sectarian violence that plagues
neighbouring Pakistan, as well as Iraq and Syria, where Isis has
deliberately tried to stoke ethnic tensions.
Hazaras have historically suffered discrimination and persecution. The
protesters were marching against government plans for a major power
project to bypass Bamiyan, a predominantly Hazara province in the
central highlands. Following similar protests in May, Afghanistan's
president, Ashraf Ghani, established a commission to look into the issue
but government attempts to find a compromise failed. On 19 June, a
contract was signed to build a smaller electricity line through Bamiyan,
which did not placate Hazara activists.
In the hours after the attack, details of casualties were unclear, but some
security forces seemed to have been among the killed. As people were
frantically calling friends present at the protests, calls went out on social
media for blood donations to the city's poorly resourced hospitals. "I was
standing by the side of the crowd, behind an ice cream truck," said one
protester, Aman Turkmani. When the blast happened, "first the ice cream
cart exploded, then he exploded. The sound of the explosion was very
strong," he said.
Hours after the attack on Saturday, Amaq
said Isis had sent two fighters with suicide
belts to detonate among "a Shia gathering".
If confirmed, the attack would be the
group's first against civilians in the Afghan
capital. Kabul has become increasingly
unnerved, particularly after another massive
attack in April, which also killed 64 people. That attack was the deadliest
in the capital since 2011.
Isis has so far been concentrated in a few districts in Afghanistan's
eastern provinces, where they have battled for turf with the Taliban.
Their fighting force of 2,000-3,000 fighters is relatively small, but
Saturday's attack is likely to stoke fears that Isis is gaining strength in
the country. Most Afghans consider Isis to be an alien, extremist group,
that is far more radical than the Taliban.
Ghani said in a statement: "Opportunist terrorists went among the
protesters and set off explosions that killed and wounded a number of our
countrymen, including security and defence personnel." Leading Hazara
representatives in the government had refused to endorse the protesters,
accusing them of fuelling ethnic tension. Instead, the demonstration was
led by grassroots activists and Karim Khalili, the country's former vice-
president.
According to a western official, the head of Afghanistan's intelligence
service had earlier this week tried to persuade the protesters to cancel the
event. The government deployed minimal security personnel to protect
protesters, focusing instead on keeping them away from the city centre.
At a previous demonstration, in late 2015, protesters who attempted to
scale the wall of the presidential palace were shot at.
On Saturday, to keep the demonstration away from the palace, authorities
blocked central roads, forcing protesters to gather at Deh Mazang Square,
about two miles from the palace. To Hazaras, the power project is about
more than electricity. A Shia minority making up an estimated 9% of the
Afghan population, Hazaras have historically felt discriminated by the
government and persecuted by insurgents.
The worst recent attack on Shias was in 2011 when twin blasts in Kabul
and Mazar-i Sharif killed as many as 80 worshipers, most of them
Hazaras who had gathered to commemorate the holy Shia day of Ashura.
Hazaras have also been targeted in highway kidnappings, some of which
have ended in killings of hostages. In 2015, seven relatives were
kidnapped and beheaded by Islamists in Zabul province, sparking
protests outside the presidential palace in demand for better protection of
Hazaras.
Many Afghan migrants and refugees who travel to Europe are Hazaras
who argue for asylum on grounds of persecution. Bamiyan and Kabul,
where Saturday's attack took place, are two out of three provinces, which
the UK government deem safe enough to deport Afghans to.
