I was told that I needed to catch up and he asked if I liked shots. The questions was mostly rhetorical since there was already a single shot on the counter which he then handed to me. I gulped it down. The fireworks really went off when I tucked my knees up and backed into him 倒退着让他进入. I lined him up and forced his tip passed my little cunt. While pushing back, I put my hand on his hip and tried to pull him forward. He began to push and his cock was in my gut again. He slowly spoon fucked me for a good fifteen minutes. There was no doubt that he was awake, but neither of us made a sound. The powerful push and pull of his cock was enough to drive me crazy with pleasure. When I came, I gripped his thigh and let out a somewhat girly series of yelps. My load was pretty small and I guessed that I lost most of it the night before. I was relaxed and he had loosened me up 扩开 with the lube and his fingers, so it was pure pleasure as he thrust and grew harder. It felt amazing and it was certainly the exact thing I was craving. I was powerless beneath him with my knees held together by my briefs and his weight behind each thrust, which pinned me to the bed. His pelvis was bouncing against my butt cheeks each time his solid shaft slid passed my hole, across my prostate, and into my gut. My eyes were closed as I accept him and felt the friction between us. My labored breathing 粗重的呼吸 was audible as my mouth hung open. I needed to be used and he was doing a great job of it. After a couple minutes, he plunged into me and started grinding against me. He was deep and the friction was constant. It was nearly enough to set me off, but he stopped before I did. He pushed my knees apart 推开, which used his thighs as fulcrums 支撑点, 支点 ([ˈfʊlkrəm] I. physics the point on which an object balances or turns. II. the person or thing that everything else depends on.

I was now being called a little slut, dirty whore, and that I was his to fuck. I eagerly agreed to each statement of his verbal domination as I continued to moan and felt him in my gut. Perhaps I'm more trusting than I should be in bed, but when a man takes control of me, I get too turned on to say no. My cock was stiff and wet with precum. He was hitting some of the best spots inside me and it was getting me very close to cumming. My dick hadn't gotten any attention yet, but I didn't mind at all. My hands gripped the sheets on either side of me and I was completely lost in the moment. When I felt his hand wrap around my shaft, I knew I was about to blow. While still thrusting 抽插 into me, he stroked me quickly no more than ten times before I erupted. My head went back, mouth open, hands now pulling the sheets off the bed, and cum spurting 喷射 onto my chest. The rush of pleasure had caused my hole to tighten around him, but his penetrations remained consistent. The familiar pain of being stretched open 被撕开 quickly rushed over me, but only enhanced my orgasm seconds into it. He was still stroking me outside and in. Everything happened in perfect sequence and the result was like two climaxes about five seconds apart. My cock was throbbing even after it had run out of cum and my hole was gripping his shaft harder despite the resulting pain. I had stopped breathing as my whole body seemed to lock up. My orgasm slowly faded and seconds later I began to relax again. My head was spinning and I was in a trance as my new lover relentlessly fucked me. He had stopped stroking me and leaned forward to give him a better angle. I could tell he was close from his heavy moaning and how he had lost his rhythm. 口: I relaxed my throat and leaned in. He slid directly into my throat I heard a load moan followed by some encouraging praises. His pubes were tickling my nose(tingle I. if a part of your body tingles, it stings slightly, for example because it is very cold or very hot. My body tingled all over and my head ached.

'I'm tickled pink,' said Jimmy after his wife gave birth. ) at this point as I held his cock long enough to accept being impaled 刺穿. I pulled back to get some air and pushed forward again. This started a rhythm of his head popping in and out of my expanding throat. He held my head in place as he dumped a massive amount of cum into my mouth one dose at a time. I happily swallowed up every drop and made sure to milk him for all he was worth. He took a few seconds to catch his breath before complimenting me on my oral skills. I was told to lay flat on my stomach. I was on one side of the bed with my head turned towards him. His cock was beginning to stiffen again as I felt him touch my back. His powerful hands massaged my back and shoulders for a few minutes until I was thoroughly relaxed. He found his way down to my butt and groped it gently through my briefs. He spoke slowly and in a relaxing tone about how hot I looked on the dance floor and that he almost shot a load in his jeans when I was grinding on him. He claimed I was the hottest boy in the club and was happy to have me all to himself. I felt his hand reach under my briefs and his middle finger quickly found my little hole. He teased it 戏弄, 玩耍 for a few seconds before pulling my briefs down to my knees. I couldn't quite see what he was doing, but the way he was playing with my cheeks and touching my hole made it feel like an inspection. He opened the nightstand and pulled out a few things. I felt the lube drip into my crack and his finger immediately working it around. He slid a finger inside me as he told me about how much he wanted to fuck me. He worked it around as he described what ran through his head on the dance floor. His fingers began a fucking motion as he detailed the thought that nearly sent him over the edge. After another dose of lube and his fingers exploring me led to the words 'fuck me' just slipped out of my mouth.

 市场动荡: Reserve Bank of Australia Deputy Governor Guy Debelle has warned the global economy faces the "risk of a self-fulfilling downturn" due to business anxiety over the US-China trade war. Australia, however, could avoid the worst of the downturn because it isn't very involved in the global tech supply chain, which is where the trade war has been hottest. Government spending in China will also help. Debelle's warning follows major losses on Wall Street on Wednesday, due to heightened fears about a recession in the US. The ASX is also getting battered 遭重创 on Thursday. US investors — who saw their shareholder value decline by 3% on Wednesday in a major Wall Street wipeout 大清洗 — are unlikely to be comforted by the speech given by a Reserve Bank of Australia official on Thursday morning. Speaking at an event in Sydney, RBA Deputy Governor Guy Debelle sounded the alarm on the rising risk of a global downturn, just hours after fresh bond market data sparked fears of a US recession and a major sell-off of stocks on Wall Street. Debelle said the ongoing US-China trade war — and specifically, the related "technology dispute" such as the US government's decision to ban Chinese telco Huawei — is leading to uncertainty in global business, meaning business owners are hesitating to invest or launch new projects. "The uncertainty as to how the dispute will play out 结果如何 on both the trade and technology fronts means businesses are waiting to see how the uncertainty resolves rather than invest," Debelle said. "It is too risky to commit to a multi-year project or buy a large piece of plant if the economics of the decision can get completely undermined by a policy decision. "The longer businesses hold off, the weaker demand will be, which will further confirm the decision to wait. That runs the risk of a self-fulfilling downturn." But while that global downturn is likely if business confidence doesn't return, the impact on Australia might not be all that gloomy.
