Like Rabbits (Coll, M solo, MFF, MF, MMF, FF, FFF, voy, toys, oral, anal, D/s, bondage, hum) By Hecate (hecate@newsguy.com) (1) Organic chemistry was the kind of subject that bored most people, but Dr Vincent Nathaniel found it absorbing. He was a genius of a chemist, but his social interactions were a little lacking. Well, quite a lot lacking in fact. At 30, he hardly ever went out, had never had a girlfriend, and enjoyed reading textbooks. He never saw himself as inadequate, but quite a lot of his students did. And it was they who started off his latest project. One day he'd heard a couple of the female students talking, saying how odd he was and wondering if he was gay. He had no opinions really on sexuality, but he did like women and that really hit home. He paid more attention after that and overheard a lot of uncomplimentary things too. For this man, who had up till now been the sort of emotionless, bloodless, eccentric researcher that Hollywood used as a stereotype, something finally snapped. Like all the mad scientists in films, he decided on revenge. But his revenge would harm no one, though he *would* have a lot of fun watching ... Six months after making his decision, it was Spring. Flowers were out, the trees were starting to get their leaves back, and everything was fresh and green. People seemed happier, friendlier and more inclined to chat. Dr Nathaniel, on the other hand, was buried in his lab, putting the finishing touches to his plans. He'd manipulated a combination of a relaxant and a pheromone, added a splash here and a splash there of just the right ingredients and had come up with just what he needed. He'd spent a lot of money, Daddy was wealthy and he hardly spent any of his salary (he'd never had much use for it before) on buying a state of the art surveillance system and purchasing the talents of a somewhat dubious ex-Army surveillance expert to install it and provide the feed to the comfort of his own home. Everything was in place for his revenge to succeed, except for the delivery system. He was going to sort that out tonight. Nathaniel reached the Student Dorm. He hadn't had too much choice in looking for a target. He had to get as many of his class as he could. And the Dorms were strictly single sex. So he thought he'd pick on a female one and hope there may be a few boyfriends who've sneaked in. And this Dorm had the ideal heating equipment anyway. The chemical he'd prepared was in the form of an aerosol. He intended to fit it into the warm air heating system, and had checked that this building had one. Only the older buildings did. He sneaked into the heating system control room, through an outer door, and set to work. It wasn't a hard job and after 15 minutes or so it was fixed. The contraption he'd rigged had a timer and he set it for 10 PM. He crept out of the building again, and walked back to his lab. He tidied everything away and walked to his car, for the short journey to his on campus house. When he got there, he garaged his car, set his ansaphone, and went to the kitchen to make himself a snack. Glancing often, and nervously at his watch, he sat and ate, watching the news on TV, before going to the back room where all the equipment was set up. He switched on the monitors. The man he'd hired had secreted small cameras in the Dorm, covering most of the corridors and rooms. Nathaniel had a bank of 8 widescreen monitors set up in front of a comfortable chair, along with a 40-inch display screen. He removed his clothes and sat down. Next to him was a table with a small box that operated the bank of monitors. The table also had on it some potato chips, a box of tissues, a bottle of Scotch, a glass, and an ice bucket. He settled down, poured himself a drink, and waited for the action to start. (2) He scanned the monitors slowly. He knew that the aerosol would take a while to get through the system. He wasn't in any rush though. He had all night. He picked some rooms he thought might be first, being nearer the heating system. In each of the rooms is a girl aged about 18-20. Lots of different girls. Some of the rooms have more than one occupant; others are empty. He noticed in monitor 8, that something seemed to be happening. So he turned the sound up, transferred the picture to the large screen set up for the purpose, and concentrated on that. "Don't you think it's a little warm in here," said the longhaired blonde. "Yeah, it is a bit," said the brunette. The blonde took off her top while the brunette watched. Underneath was a skimpy white bra. Nathaniel watched closely and saw that the brunette was gawking at the blonde with a more than curious eye. It was working, he thought. They chatted a little more during which he learnt the blonde was called Julie and the brunette was called Annie. He watched as Annie reached over to Julie, pulled her towards her, and whispered something in her ear. Julie giggled, and nodded. Annie removed her top and lay back on the bed they were sitting on and pulled off her jeans. Her underwear was white too, and it looked good against her soft skin. Nathaniel found he was becoming aroused. The two girls heads came together and they began kissing. Annie, who seemed to be taking the lead, reached down to remove Julie's skirt, then reached behind Julie and unhooked her bra, exposing her firm, young breasts. Julie just smiled. Annie reached behind herself and removed her bra too. All the while, the two women kept kissing, more and more passionately. They broke off for air. Julie looked at Annie and said laughing, "This must be what they mean by Spring Fever!" before pulling Annie to her mouth again, one hand going behind Annie's neck, the other moving to caress Annie's left breast. Nathaniel was erect now, and began just softly caressing himself, not wanting to come, but to prolong each sensation as much as possible. He was always aware that he was going to see a lot of things tonight and he didn't want to wear himself out too quickly. He figured though, that the first would be quick, and would allow him to take his time from there, so he fixed his eyes on the two women and drank in the lascivious scene unfolding before him. The two had fallen back on the bed and their hands were caressing each other more and more intimately. Julie had moved from Annie's mouth to her breasts and was licking one of Annie's nipples while tweaking the other with her hand. Annie was caressing the downy flesh at the nape of Julie's neck and moaning softly. Her other hand was sliding up and down Julie's back, pulling Julie into her. Julie started licking down Annie's front,ticlking her lightly with her tongue. Annie opened her legs for Julie as she reached her crotch. Julie just kept on licking, with Annie pulling her head into her pussy, and running her hands through her hair. Nathaniel could see Julie's hands clasp Annie's buttocks and her head move faster between Annie's legs. Then he came, with a loud groan. A sticky, pulsating orgasm that left him gasping. He felt good afterwards, but was annoyed at himself for coming too soon, before either one of the girls had. Oh, well, he thought, I'm sure it'll be better second time. He cleaned himself up with a couple of tissues, and looked back at the screen. The two were now in a sixty-nine and their heads were bobbing frantically. He left them to it and decided to look for fresh entertainment. (3) He flicked through the cameras, changing the pictures on Monitors 1 to 7, keeping the two girls on 8 so he could keep an eye on them. It was nearly an hour later now, so the aerosol should have permeated through the building and he had lots more to look at. He spotted what he'd hoped for, a guy that one of the girls had obviously sneaked in. Even better, there were *two* women in the room with him. He switched the monitor's display to the big screen and sat back and watched. They seemed to be just chatting but he could see they were all a little uneasy as if they had other things on their minds. They kept shifting around, as they sat on some cushions on the floor and he watched intently as he saw that every move meant they were nearer each other. The guy, Rob, Nathaniel recognised from his class, as he did the redhead, Sherry. The other girl, another blonde, he didn't know but soon found out her name was Chloe. Rob and Sherry seemed to be a couple and Chloe was slightly further away from the two, but she was also the one who showed most signs of being restless. Sherry stretched and rubbed a shoulder as though aching a bit and Chloe jumped up and sat behind her and began to massage her shoulders. She appeared eager and Sherry seemed to relax immediately when the hands began to knead at her. Rob was looking on hungrily as he watched Chloe move down Sherry's back and up again, and then began kneading Sherry's, shoulders again. This time, though, her thumbs were on top of Sherry's shoulders and her fingers quite a way down Sherry's front, almost reaching the tops of her breasts. Rob leant in closer to Sherry and she leant forward too, Chloe moving with her. Sherry gave Rob a kiss on the lips and Rob responded by holding her head in his hands. As they kissed, Chloe's hands moved down Sherry's sides and round to her front and began fondling Sherry's breasts, while she nuzzled the back of Sherry's neck. When Rob's hands moved down to Sherry's breasts, Chloe moved her hands underneath Sherry's shirt and downwards. Nathaniel saw them disappear into the waistband of Sherry's jeans, and guessed what they were doing by the way Sherry started squirming. Nathaniel had another strong erection now, but was not touching himself as he was determined not to come until all three on the screen had. He was finding it difficult even then. This wasn't like those postage stamp-sized movies he'd downloaded from the net. This was real quality on a big screen, every detail clear as crystal. He could even zoom in if he wanted, though he'd found the first scene so erotic he hadn't bothered. And, of course, this was all being copied straight to Digital video so he could look at it again later. This scene was turning him on with a vengeance too, but he decided to take a closer look. He zoomed in on the triad. Things were moving along nicely... Chloe had undone Sherry's jeans and pushed them down as far as she could. Her right hand was down the front of Sherry's dark coloured panties, and Nathaniel could see that her left was down the back of Sherry's panties. Meanwhile, Rob had a hand on each of Sherry's breasts through her top, and was caressing them. Sherry was leaning back into Chloe; soft moans escaping from her lips. Rob started to pull off Sherry's top. She didn't resist. Her bra came off next. Rob began caressing her breasts, tweaking the hardening nipples. He bent down to use his mouth on them. Chloe lifted Sherry at the waist and pushed her jeans down to her knees, taking the dark panties with them. Sherry spread her legs as much as she could, given the restraint of the material. As Nathaniel watched everything seemed to go into slow motion, yet the participants were speeding up, a driving lust forcing them on. Rob and Chloe stood up and carried the lolling Sherry over to the bed. The removed the rest of her clothes and removed theirs quickly, breathlessly. Rob knelt between Sherry's legs and began lapping at her open cunt, greedy for her juices. Chloe climbed on the bed and placed a knee either side of Sherry's head, lowering herself slowly. Slowly wasn't enough for Sherry, who grabbed at Chloe's hips and pulled her down fast. Nathaniel could see the beatific expression on Chloe's face as Sherry's tongue began to wave its magic patterns in Chloe's cunt. He smiled to himself. Fucking like bunnies, just what I wanted, he thought. Rob suddenly stood and exposed a large erection. He moved forward and pulled Sherry's legs round him, her ass remaining just on the edge of the bed. He inserted himself and began pumping, leaning forward at the same time so he could grab and maul Chloe's breasts. As the three became more and more heated, the bed bounced, their voices became louder, their moans more lustful. As if it wasn't enough for her, Chloe lean forward in an almost sixty-nine, alternately licking Rob's member on the outstroke and Sherry's clit on the in. Nathaniel could hardly restrain himself. He tried and tried not to touch, but as Rob started to shout he was coming, he fingered just below the bulbous, purple head of his penis and shot and spurted his come into the air, feeling as if his brains were exiting his body through his penis. Nathaniel lay back, feeling like a washed out rag. Time for some more Scotch, he thought. So he cleaned himself up and poured another small shot. He glanced up at the screen to see Rob lying back on the floor, whilst the girls continued their sixty-nine on the bed. He started to flick through the channels again... (4) By now, every room he looked into had something going on; even it was just single girls with a variety of objects greater than he'd dreamt possible. He decided for his next one he'd look for something a little less exciting than the last - he wanted to see out the night. He spotted a room containing just one guy and one girl and moved it to the big screen. By now, most people seemed to be naked and these two were no exception. He watched they caressed each other, recognising the man as Ed, another member of his class, but not knowing the woman. Ed was sucking on the girl's breasts; the only noises a sort of whimpering from the girl and the stimulating sound of mouth on exquisite flesh. The girl's hands were between Ed's legs, and Nathaniel could see her fingers moving. Ed's hips were thrusting ever so slightly, and he half pulled away as he sank to his knees in front of the girl and began licking her cunt. She started squeezing her breasts and nipples, her head thrown back, a deep growling coming from her mouth. She was quivering and shaking from the effects of Ed's tonguing. Ed stopped suddenly and pulled her down on the floor. He kept tonguing while moving his body round so that his groin was directly over her head. She reached up and pulled his penis down to her mouth, sucking hard on him, and then pulling him out and flicking her tongue round the swollen head. Ed began fucking her mouth while still licking her, his hips thrusting slowly and gently, but picking up speed. Suddenly his body seemed to freeze and he raised his head from her cunt and screamed "Oh, gooooooodddddddddd" as he came in her mouth. Nathaniel could see her swallow and then take his penis out of her mouth, sticky threads of sperm dripping onto her face. After half a minute or so, Ed went back to lapping her cunt, and she started to just gently tongue his penis again. Then it was her turn. Her body arched and spasmed, and she thrust her dripping cunt into his mouth, as she seemed to come two or three times, almost at once. Ed just kept tonguing her as she came. After a short while, Ed moved round again, his penis now hard for the second time. She got up, and turned around, on her knees, her ass pushing up in the air. Ed got behind her and entered her, beginning a slow but steady lunging into her. His hands went underneath her body and began playing with her clit, while she just enjoyed; moaning, and urging him on, "faster, *faster*!". Nathaniel admired the two teens' stamina and athleticism, and enjoyed the wonderful view that he had. He was erect again, but in no danger of coming yet. She was now ramming herself back at Ed as he thrust forward. For them, it was a dance of perfect harmony as they pleasured each other in unison. For Nathaniel, it was an unexpected pleasure and something he wished he had had. The two together were now almost a blur of backward and forward motion until, almost coming at the same time, they froze together-- both mouths wide open with the silent screams of passion. They collapsed to the floor, panting, sweating and fulfilled. Nathaniel had enjoyed the display. From his viewer's point of view he hadn't found it quite as exciting as the others, but more touching. He sat there, erect but relaxed and decided to find someone else to spy on... (5) Whoa! He thought as he spotted a room with two guys and one girl. He was particularly interested because he recognised Judy from his class, though not the two guys. She was one of the two worst ones for gossiping about him. He'd try and find the other, Lorraine, next, but for now he wanted to see what happened to Judy. Surprisingly, Judy still had her underwear on, but the men were completely naked. They were on Judy's bed, one guy each side of her. She was using one hand on each guy, pumping their penises up and down while they lay back and enjoyed it. Nathaniel zoomed in and guessed that she was too, from the wet patch he could see on her panties. He watched as she got them both off, a stream of spunk landing on their bellies. As they shrank she let go and lay back herself. Nothing happened for a minute or two except that they chatted in little whispers, then the two guys and Judy sat up and the guys removed her bra and panties. Judy lay back down again and the two guys began caressing her. One started kissing her and using a hand on her left breast; the other began suckling on her right breast and stroking up and down her front. She was purring at the attention and soon began to make little mewling noises as both her breasts were nursed and two hands began pulling her thighs apart and cavorting between her legs. Nathaniel was getting really turned on now and knew that this scene would get him off yet again. He'd never been so horny in all his life. He felt so energized by what he was watching. With the big screen he almost felt he could reach out and touch them. He'd only ever been with a woman once and he'd never got past feeling her up through her clothes. He could only imagine what it must feel like to do what they were doing. Judy looked really agitated now. A red flush was covering her chest, up from her boobs; she was groaning and fidgeting, unable to keep still. The two men lifted her to her knees and one crawled underneath her and pulled her cunt down to his mouth. The other leant over her, pulled her buttocks apart and began tonguing in between them. She came very quickly, but the men continued, building her up quickly again, as she began nearing her peak again, the man underneath turned round and slammed her down onto his erect penis. She began pumping up and down, but he held her by the hips and kept her balanced just on the end of his penis. When he did this, the other man moved up to her ass and entered her there too. Slowly, the three began a rhythm where the man fucking her ass pushed in as she lowered herself on the man below, and pulled outwards as she rose again. Soon, a synchronous pattern was established, with all three moving harmoniously; even their short panting breaths and erotically charged groans seemed to become synched. It didn't take very long for the trio to speed up until Nathaniel almost couldn't follow the action. He was almost there himself and was trying to come *with* them this time. He watched intently as Judy lifted her head back and screamed, the man underneath seeming to come at the same time, the man in her ass, just before her. Nathaniel screamed too, as he came in unison with the woman. More tissues and a very relaxed, but tired, Nathaniel was dreamily contemplating his next home movie... (6) Nathaniel desperately wanted to see Lorraine next. He hoped that it would be something special to finish off the night. He knew that he might find it hard to get hard a fourth time and had bought something just for it. One of those nice, soft, plastic cunts with a vibrator attached. He knew he was never going to get the real thing, so he thought he may as well enjoy himself. He started searching through the monitors, looking intently for Lorraine. And then, he found her, and oh, what he found! He couldn't believe his eyes! The lovely, red haired, Lorraine was in a room with two other women. He recognised them as Beth and Tina, also in his class, who were always hanging out with Lorraine. However, he'd never seen the three of them like this. Beth was dressed in what looked like a black leather skirt and with just a black bra on top. Tina was naked save for some stockings and a teensy white thong. But Lorraine was the real sight. She was completely naked and had been tied, with scarves it looked like, to a chair. She'd been pushed right forward so her ass was just on the edge, and her legs spread. She was obviously trying to complain about this, so Nathaniel switched the picture to the big screen and turned the sound up. "Hey, you two! I just wanted some fun! I thought we were all horny and could have play a bit together. What the fuck are you doing?!" The other two just laughed. Beth turned to Lorraine and said, "Would you like to shut her up or shall I?" Tina nodded and moved towards Lorraine, grabbing yet another scarf off the bed. Lorraine gave her a 'Don't you dare look' but Tina kept coming. Tina got to Lorraine, and removed her panties. As Lorraine started protesting again, Tina shoved her panties into Lorraine's mouth, and wrapped the scarf round, tying it at the back of her head. Muffled complaints could still just be heard, but Tina looked round at Beth and said, "That should keep her quiet for a while." The two women smiled. Beth then told Tina to hang on and disappeared out of the room, returning a couple of minutes later with a bulging plastic bag which she lay on the bed. She dove a hand into it and pulled out a camera. Tina's eyes lit up, but Lorraine's eye's bulged and she looked horrified. Especially when Beth began to take pictures of her naked, tied to the chair. After a few snaps, Beth handed the camera to Tina. Beth then reached into the bag again and pulled out what looked to be a short whip of some kind, a flogger really. It had a thick, shaped handle and either latex or leather thongs attached. Nathaniel couldn't make out which. Beth went up to Lorraine and began to suck and lick her nipples until they stood out as red engorged points. Then she stood back and lightly whipped her breasts, leaving faint pink marks on them. All the while Tina was taking pictures. Up till now, Lorraine had, though gagged, made it obvious that she was protesting. But the flogging seemed to touch something inside her. Unbelievably to Nathaniel she actually pushed her breasts forward as if to accept the raw kisses of the flogger. Tina seemed surprised too, but Beth seemed to be unfazed by the reaction. This made Nathaniel wonder if something hadn't been going on between these two before. Certainly, his preparation only released inhibitions and made people feel horny; it couldn't make them do anything they didn't want to do. When Beth saw this she increased the power and speed of the strokes. She was living red marks now, not breaking the skin, just stinging. The look in Lorraine's eyes had changed to one of pleasure. She stopped in a short while and stepped back. Lorraine was breathing heavily through her nose. Tina was watching in amazement. Beth stepped forward and untied the scarf round Lorraine's mouth. She reached down and pulled out the wettened panties. She straightened them; found the crotch and pushed it towards Lorraine. Lorraine stuck her tongue out and licked. Nathaniel almost came then, and he hadn't even tried out his new toy. He leaned forward and slid it onto his erect penis. There was a warm rubbery feel to it, and it was soft and snug. He took the control box into his right hand to give it a rest, and lay back in the chair, fascinated. Tina was still holding the camera, but she wasn't using it. That hand hung down by her side while her other hand was between her legs. Beth then reached up under her skirt and pulled down her panties, She then did the same thing and Nathaniel watched as Lorraine licked at the crotch like she was ravenous for the juices that had soaked into it. After that, Beth got completely undressed, and went back to the bag. She Looked at Tina, whose hand was still moving desultorily between her legs and said "And now, darling, we *really* have some fun!". She pulled out a small black box and two vibrators. She went over to Tina and whispered in her ear. Tina went over to Lorraine and undid her bonds. She pulled Lorraine off the chair with scarves still tied to her hands and feet. Meanwhile, Beth was standing waiting by the bed. Tina brought her over to the bed. Lorraine was unresisting. She just kept staring at Beth and almost drooling. She needed no encouragement to lie on the bed. Beth and Tina tied her hands and feet to the sides of the bed and pushed all the pillows they could find beneath the small of her back, making her arch so that her highest point was her cunt. Then Tina and Beth began to work on her. Beth was caressing he breasts, licking them, sucking the, pulling her nipples, whilst Tina was between Lorraine's legs, her tongue flicking all over her labia and clitoris. Nathaniel could see how excited Lorraine was getting. Without the gag, she was pleading with them to make her come. Suddenly they stopped. Beth reached over for the vibrators and pushed one inside Lorraine's cunt, the other in her ass. Lorraine was begging for her to turn them on. Beth fixed her with a steely look. "Yes, on one condition. You make Tina come, and I'll make you come," she said, waving the black box in front of Lorraine. "Yes, yes," said Lorraine. Tina climbed on the bed, and put her knees either side of Lorraine's head, facing down her body. She sank down onto Lorraine's mouth, and lay across her, her hands playing with Lorraine's breasts. Beth watched and could see Tina 's hips moving and hear Tina panting. She started up the vibrators with the control box. Lorraine was straining against her bonds as the vibrators did their work, but Beth kept them at a low level. Lorraine was doing her best with Tina, and it didn't take long for her to come. She looked at Beth as Tina rolled off her and said, "Make me come now, I've done what you asked!". Beth shook her head. Lorraine looked pleadingly at her. "But you promised!" Beth retorted, "I lied! First, you have to get me off too!" Lorraine just nodded, resigned to her fate. Tina grabbed the box from Beth, who now took Tina's place. Nathaniel watched as the same thing happened again. Beth screamed as she came and Nathaniel did too. He then watched as the games went on. Lorraine was continuously teased until she was imploring, begging to be allowed to come. Finally when she'd worn out the other two, he saw Beth turn the control box to Max, and the two lay there watching as Lorraine came over and over. By now, Nathaniel had reached the point of exhaustion. He just couldn't come any more. Even his toy didn't help. He left all the recording devices running. He decided to call it a night and was unaware of what followed at the dorm. On his way to bed he remembered what one of the girls had said. Yes, he thought, "Spring Fever" is a good name for my new "product". He grinned... Epilogue When the Police arrived they found naked bodies all over the dorm. There were still people on the lawn outside making passionate love. The ensuing investigation found some of the cameras and the wiring led to Nathaniel's home. However, by the time they got there all they found was some empty tape decks and a lot of wiring. No equipment and certainly no Dr Vincent Nathaniel. A few months later adverts started appearing on porn sites for a Product called "Spring Fever". The Police have no new leads...
