Here is an updated version of the ongoing diary of 15 year old Shannon.  I
hope everyone enjoys it as well as my other stories.  I am disappointed in
the amount of feedback I have received from this or my other stories, Maria
and Her Daughters or Teasing Stepdaughter.  Please write and let me know
what you think, good or bad.  I am interested in talking to the women out
there that enjoy reading and writing erotic stories.

   This is intended for an adult audience.  If you are under age or do not
enjoy reading stories that included descriptions of various sex acts, then
you should be somewhere else.  Not here.

   All characters are fictional and any resemblance to any person living or
dead is unintentional and purely coincidental.

   Enjoy the story.

   Shannon's Diary





   Preface

   This is a fictionalized diary of a 15 year old high school girl.  She
lives with her parents, Mike and Carol, her 17 year old brother Brad, and
12 year old sister Alisa.  They live in four bedroom house in a nondescript
suburb.  Shannon is normal in most every way and like most teenagers, is
obsessed with sex.  Although still a virgin, she is in the process of
discovering her own sexuality as her body and sex drives mature.  She uses
her diary as an outlet for both reality and her fantasy.



   Sunday Morning , September 15th



   Mom and dad sure got it on again last night.  I heard them come home
from the party about one this morning while I was online chatting with some
boy.  It wasn't five minutes before they were doing the dirty deed.  It
rocks having my bedroom right next door to them.  Here they are married
almost 20 years and they still have sex all the time.  I could hear dad
yelling for mom to suck him good and swallow his hard cock.  Lots of moans
and then I heard mom yelling for dad to fuck her like a dog.  I wonder what
that is?  My pussy got so wet just listening to them.  I let the boy I was
chatting with have cyber sex with me.  I just moaned and played with my
pussy as he told me all the things he was going to do to me.  I must have
cum about 10 times.  One day, I would like to spy on my parents and watch
them having sex.  It would be really cool.  Got to go, diary, mom's calling
me to go to church.  I will write again later.



   Sunday Night, September 15th





   What a boring day.  I did my homework.  Gee, diary.  Sophomore year sure
is harder than being a freshman.  At least I don't look nerdy like I did
last year.  The braces are finally off and now I think I am pretty.  Don't
you?  My breasts have really filled out this past year.  34C and the boys
are looking.  I am glad that I am not fat like that girl in my English
class.  She must be 200 pounds.  You could put 2 of me in her jeans.  Dad
and Brad watched football all day and Alisa went to a birthday party.  I
helped mom in the garden and make Sunday dinner.  She sure was in a good
mood today.  I guess dad delivered the goods last night.  I wonder what it
feels like to have sex.  As you know diary, I love to play with my cunny.
Ever since Rachel told me two years ago about how good touching yourself
feels, I do it every day.  I love to lie in the bathtub and have the water
splash down on my little button.  In Sex-Ed, the called it a clitoris.  I
call it my joy button.  I think I should tell Alisa about rubbing herself.
I bet she would love it too.  I wonder if Brad plays with himself.  I am
sure he does and I seen in coming out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel
and it looked like a stick was under the towel between his legs.  Well
diary, I am going to make myself cum and then go to sleep.  Goodnight.









   Monday, September 16th



   Shit.  I got my period during the night.  I hate that feeling of blood
between my legs.  At least I got out of P.E.  for the week.  I went to the
library instead and listened to my Discman and pretended to study.  I saw
Gregg at the library and he was looking so hot.  He and Brad were there
with Brad's slutty girlfriend, Megan.  It seems like they are never in
class.  I guess seniors pretty much do what they want.  And if you are on
the football team, nobody bothers you.  I went to football practice after
school just to watch the boys in the tight uniforms.  I love the way
Gregg's ass looks.  He is the bomb.  I got home and took a bath and just
let that water splatter on my pussy, washing the blood away and giving me a
fantastic orgasm.  I bet Brad is fucking Megan every chance he gets.  Becky
told me that she saw Megan jerking Brad off under the stands after practice
last week.  She said that Brad had a big dick and would not mind having him
fuck her.  Becky is such a ho'.  She even told that she sneaks in peeks at
her dad when he is sleeping to see if she can see his dick.  I wonder what
my dad's dick looks like.  From what I hear coming from the next room, dad
must be taking care of mom real good.  I think diary that I am going to
make a plan to spy of them fucking.  Good night.





   Thursday, September 19th





   I've had a lot of cramps so I have not been doing too much.  Mostly,
playing and chatting on the computer.  All the boys I chat with want to
have sex with me online.  Some even want to meet me.  I like talking to
them about sex.  I think a lot of them are older men pretending to be kids.
One boy did not even know who Matchbox 20 was.  I bet who knows Elvis
Presley.  I pretend to have all this experience but I let most of them do
the chatting and say things oh that feels good .  Most of the real boys
don't know much about oral sex on girls so that is another way I know when
it is a man.  I would really like to try oral sex and have someone lick my
pussy.  I bet it would feel great.  Rachel told me that she's tried it but
I am not sure that I believe her.  Alisa is going her Jr.  High dance on
Saturday and asked that I help her pick out a dress.  We'll be going to the
mall on Saturday.  Time to go diary, homework to do.  Bye.



   Friday, September 20th



   My period is finally over and I sure am horny.  We all went to the
football game tonight and then went out for burgers.  I love seeing those
guys in their uniforms.  It gets me so hot.  Megan was there to watch Brad
and then they went out.  She had on shorts that were so tight you could see
the outline of her pussy.  What a ho.  Tomorrow , Alisa and me are going to
the mall.  My little sister is finally starting to develop.  She got her
period for the first time this summer.  Her boobs are getting bigger.  I am
sure that she has hair around her pussy now.  I will see tomorrow.  I think
I should show her how to play with herself.  She is old enough now.  Girls
just want to have fun.  I am spending the night at Rachel's on Saturday. 
Mom and dad will like that.  Alisa at the dance, Brad with Megan and me
over at Rachel's, they will have lots of time to fuck.  I bet mom likes her
pussy licked and dad is good at it.  It gets me so horny.  I already came
four times tonight and now I am getting to get online and have some guys
make me cum again.  Goodnight diary.



   Sunday, September 22nd





   Wow.  What a Saturday.  Me and Alisa went to the mall shopping.  We got
her a really neat blue dress with spaghetti straps, new shoes, and a real
sexy pair of panties and bra.  I watched Alisa change and she does have
some hair around her pussy.  It is blonde like her head.  She is so excited
about her first dance.  She is going with nerdy Bobby from down the street.
I hope they don't hook each others braces if the kiss.  Wouldn't that be
funny.  When we got home I asked Alisa if she ever felt horny and sexy. 
She said that she did and when she rubbed her itch, it felt good.  I asked
her she ever came.  She did not know what that was.  I finally should her
how to play with herself.  We laid on the bed and took our clothes off. 
She got real red.  She loved the way my boobs have grown and the amount of
hair on my little kitty.  I took my hand and started to massage my clit. 
Using my fingers to rub it around and around while Alisa watched.  My pussy
got real wet and I showed her how wet it got and how hard my clit was.  I
rubbed it and got real hot and I started to shake and I came real good. 
Alisa couldn't believe it.  Then I told her to try it.  She used the tips
of her fingers and spread her pussy lips to find her clit.  And then
started to rub it the way I rubbed mine.  Pretty soon she was giggling
saying it felt like she was going to pee but she kept at it and she got all
red and sweaty and started to shake like I did and raised her hips and had
her very first orgasm.  It was the groove.  Alisa kept laughing and smiling
and thanking me and told me that she was going to do it all the time now.
As her older sister, I needed to share the goods things in life with her
and coming is one the best things in life.  I will show her the water trick
next.



   I spent last night at Rachel's.  We had a blast.  We chatted online with
boys and had cyber sex with them and guess what?  We had sex with each
other.  Its not like were lesbos or anything.  We were just real horny from
all the computer sex.  We were in our jammies.  I had a short top and
bottoms with loose legs.  Rachel were a little cotton nightgown and bikini
panties.  We were laying in bed and were talking about sex and wondering
what sex really felt like with another person.  Rachel said we should
practice kissing with tongues and all.  Cool I said.  Rachel has been my
best friend my whole life and we do everything together.  We sort of turned
to face each other and started to kiss.  Rachel stuck her tongue in my
mouth and wiggled it.  It felt funny at first.  We both have kissed boys
but never let them tongue kiss us.  I then stuck my tongue in her mouth and
she sucked on it.  We Did this for about 15 minutes and I was getting real
wet in my pussy.  Rachel was squirming too.  I reached and touched her
breast over her nightgown.  Boy did she jump.  Omigod she said.  I took my
hand back and she said to put it back.  She had been wanting us to touch
each other for a long time but was afraid.  I was her best friend and she
loved me although she would always like boys.  I touched her boob again and
I could feel the nipple get hard so I touched the other one.  Rachel
moaned. Then, I can hardly tell you diary, I touched Rachel's pussy over
her panties.  The crotch was soaked with her pussy juice.  My juices were
running down my pussy lips.  Rachel put her hand through the legs of my
shorts and touched my pussy.  It was like I was on fire.  I spread my legs
and Rachel ran her fingers up and down sloshing the juices.  I told her
that we should take off our clothes.  Rachel is an only child and her
parents were out for the evening.  We both stripped and told each other how
beautiful we are.  We laid next to each other and felt each others pussy. I
rubbed Rachel's clit the way I rub mine and that really got her off.  She
did the same to me and we made each other come about ten times each before
we fell asleep.  I know we are going to do this again.  It was a great
Saturday.  Today was the same old thing.  Church, football, homework, play
with my self and bed time.  I almost forgot.  Alisa had a great time at the
dance.  She said that Bobby was a good kisser and their braces did not get
caught.  She said that she could feel something sticking out from Bobby's
pants and it got her excited that when she went to bed, she played with her
pussy the way that I showed her and came about 3 times.  You go Alisa.  Bye
diary.





   Monday, September 23rd







   Rachel and I made up a plan today at lunch.  She is going to spend the
weekend over here and we are going to watch my parents fuck.  I am so horny
thinking about seeing daddy's dick.  Mom and dad are going to a party
Saturday and me and Rachel are going to drill a hole in the wall from my
room to theirs so we can watch them do it.  I am hoping that Rachel and I
will touch each other's pussies again.  It sure feels nicer when someone
else plays with your cunt than yourself.  Rachel has a lot more hair than I
do and her tits are bigger.  I will catch up one day.  Alisa says that she
really likes playing with herself and would I show her some more things to
do.  Maybe she will let me play with her and she can play with me.  Hmm, my
pussy is so juicy right now.  I will think of Gregg and make myself cum
before I go to sleep.  Well, off to do homework and then to bed. 
Goodnight, diary.





   Wednesday, September 25th





   Rachel came over after school today and we drilled the hole while mom
was out in the garden.  We picked a good spot that looks right on the bed.
We should get a good show on Saturday.  I saw Gregg at school today.  He
really gets my pussy wet just looking at him.  I heard that he started
dating that slut Trisha.  Blonde hair and big tits, is that all boys think
about?  I sure hope my boobs get bigger.  Rachel is going to come over
after school on Friday and spend the weekend.  We are going to the game and
that out for pizza.  Alisa is going over to her friend Ashley's house for a
slumber party on Saturday night that should give Rachel and me a chance to
watch mom and dad without worrying about her being there.  Brad will be out
with Megan, probably fucking.  I am going to be busy the next month.  I am
on the Halloween dance committee and that is a lot of work.  But we will
have fun.  It is an all school dance so Gregg will probably be there. 
Maybe I can get him to dance with me.  Well, diary, off to sleep. 
Goodnight.









   Sunday, September 29th



   Rachel spent the weekend and it turned out better than I ever imagined.
We went to the game and out for pizza on Friday night, came home and got
ready for bed.  We were surfing the net, looking at sex sites, and before
you no it, were on the bed, playing with each other's pussies.  We decided
to practice kissing again, we both knew what was going to happen.  Before
you knew it, Rachel was kissing my boobs and touching my pussy.  I did the
same to her and we both had great orgasms.



   We heard some noises from down in the basement and got really scared. 
Mom and dad and Alisa were all sleeping so Rachel and I sneaked downstairs
and we could here Brad and Megan in the family room.  The lights were off
except for the TV so we went down the stairs so they would not hear us. 
The light from the TV was shining right on them so we saw Brad and Megan
making out on the sofa.  Megan had her blouse and bra off and was naked on
top.  Brad had is shirt off too.  They were kissing and Brad was feeling
Megan's tits.  She was leaning back and her skirt was up over her hips and
we could see her panties.  They looked wet in the crotch.  Brad stood up
and took off his jeans and underwear.  His dick sure looked big.  It was
sticking straight out, pointing like an arrow.  He grabbed Megan's panties
and pulled them down and took them off.  I was getting so hot looking at my
brother's prick and Megan's pussy, which had a lot of hair around it.  Brad
bent down and put his head between her legs.  I couldn't see all that he
was doing but Megan was grabbing his head and rubbing it in her pussy
telling him how good it felt and how she loved to have her pussy eaten. 
She kept saying eat my cunt over and over and then she yelled that she was
cumming.  Rachel was rubbing her pussy as she watched them.  Brad stood up
and took his dick and told her that it was now her turn.  Megan sat up and
had Brad stand in front of her and put his dick in her mouth.  Brad told
her that she was a great cock sucker.  She moved her head back and forth
making sucking sounds.  I wonder why they call it a blow job when there is
no blowing.  It should be called a suck job.  Brad looked like he was
really enjoying it.  But he pulled his dick away and told Megan he wanted
to fuck her.  He went between her legs and shoved his dick in her.  We
could see his ass moving up and down.  My brother has great buns.  He told
Megan that he was glad that she was now on the pill so he did not have to
use a condom anymore.  Megan said she liked it better too.  He started to
move really fast and Megan had her legs wrapped around his hips.  I moaned
and told Megan he was about to cum and she said she was ready also.  Brad
moved and grunted and pushed his hips as far as they would go and Megan
yelled yes Brad fuck me.  Pretty soon they stopped moving and Brad got up
and started to put his clothes on.  Rachel and I got out there as quick as
we could before they could see us.  We went back to my room and we each
played with ourselves until we came about a million times.



   The next day, we went to the mall and hung out and shopped.  I bought
some real cute outfits for school.  I got a pair of real low rider jeans
that barely covers my pubic hair and some bare navel blouses..  I love the
way they show my belly button and stomach.  It gets the guys drooling.  We
went to the movies Saturday night and saw a Knights Tale with Heath Ledger.
What a hunk.  He can touch me any place any time.  Gregg and Trisha were
there, up in each other's grill, sucking face.  Her hands were rubbing his
thighs and I could see the outline of his dick .  She is a real ho.  When
we got back the house was empty and we got ready to spy on my parents
fucking.  After what we saw on Friday, I couldn't wait to compare Brad's
dick to my dad's.  I was so hot just from thinking about seeing my dad fuck
my mom.



   Mom and dad got home about midnight and me and Rachel were ready.  Mom
is still so beautiful and has a great body.  She is 5'4'' and has 38C boobs
and a 26 inch waist.  Men always look at her when we go shopping.  Dad is
6' 180 pounds and very handsome and looks great in a bathing suit.  We
could hear them giggling but could not make out the words.  We had the
lights off so they could not see the hole.  Good thing they like to keep
the bedside lamp on when they make love otherwise we would not have been
able to see anything.  Rachel and I took turns watching and mom and dad put
on a great performance as if they knew we were watching.  Mom pushed dad on
the bed and pulled his pants down.  Dad's cock was already hard and
sticking out from his boxers.  Mom got down on her knees and suck it right
in.  She played with his balls and ran her hands up and down on dad's dick
as she sucked him off.  Dad's dick was the best.  It was bigger and fatter
than Brad's and he has bigger balls.  Mom licked up and down his dick like
it was a lollipop and kept putting it in her mouth to suck it some more. 
Rachel and I kept whispering to each other what they were doing when it was
each our turn to watch.  Dad was getting real excited and he told mom he
wanted to fuck her.  He got up stripped off his pants pushed mom over and
lifted her skirt.  Omigod, mom was not wearing any panties.  We could see a
little of her cunt, which has a lot of hair on it.  Mom got on her knees on
the bed and dad stood behind her pushed his dick up her cunt.  Mom moaned
when she felt dad's dick go in.  He moved in and out fast and we could hear
his body hitting mom.  Mom was saying how she loved the way his balls
slapped against her cunt and clit.  She kept saying fuck me to dad loud
enough for us to hear.  I swear diary, they knew we were watching or at
least listening to them.  It was the coolest thing to watch them fuck.  It
was better than watching Brad and Megan.  My pussy was sopping wet from
watching them.  I my mind I was thinking that is was me that dad was
fucking.  He is the bomb of all bombs.  He really fucked mom fast and hard
and then mom starting to yell that she was coming and dad said he was right
behind her.  Hee Hee, right behind her and he was.  They both shook and
fell over.  Dad said that fucking mom kept getting better and better.



   I grabbed Rachel and pulled her to the bed and pulled off her pajamas
bottoms and stripped off mine and put my hand right on her pussy and she
put hers on mine.  It was as wet as mine.  Rachel said that my dad had a
really nice dick and mom had a nice pussy.  We made each other cum about a
hundred times.  We just could not stop.  It was so hot.



   When we went down to breakfast in the morning, mom and dad were already
there.  They smiled at us and asked how our evening was and did we do
anything interesting.  Then they looked and each other and smiled again
sort of weird like.  I think they know that we watched and maybe even that
Rachel and me touch each other.  I felt my face turning red and said they
we went to a movie and came home and watched TV in my room.  It was weird
for me to look at my dad and not remember how his dick looked and it
started to get my pussy wet again.  I cannot wait to see them at it again.
Time for bed.  Good night.

   Monday, September 30th



   I met Rachel at lunch today and she said that she had a great time and
now wants to watch her parents fuck.  We are making plans to spy on them
too.  I am going crazy with this dance thing and I had tons of homework
tonight.  I am out of it.  I hardly feel like playing with myself I am so
tired.  Alisa came in to talk tonight.  She says that she has played with
her self everyday and if feels so good that she never wants to stop.  She
told me that she told her friend Ashley about it this past weekend but
Ashley did not believe her.  So Alisa showed her how to do it.  Ashley
wasn't sure so Alisa played with her so she could see what cumming was
about.  Alisa giggled and said that when Ashley was ready to cum she said
that it felt like she was going to have to pee but by the end of Saturday
that all Ashley wanted to do was play with her pussy of have Alisa play
with it for her.  She would not touch Alisa thought saying that she felt
funny touching another girl's vagina.  I promised Alisa that I would show
her some more things this weekend.  I am falling asleep writing so I will
say good night diary.





   Friday, October 4th



   It has been a busy week.  Like, it seems that all I have been doing is
working on the Halloween dance and doing homework.  I am sure glad that the
weekend is here.  I am getting ready to go to the game.  Me and Rachel are
going to make plans to spy on her parental units next weekend.  She has a
period so we did not want to do it this weekend.  I am going to her house
after school on Tuesday to set everything up.  I am going to play with my
pussy and then get ready to meet Rachel at the stadium.  I heard Brad
talking to Gregg and they are going with Megan and Trisha to Gregg's house
after the game.  His parents are away for the weekend.  I would love to
sneak over and see what is happening.  I bet they are going to fuck all
night long.  Well, diary I got to go.  Bye.



   Saturday, October 5th



   The game was great and we won again.  That makes us undefeated this
season.  I heard Brad talking to Gregg today and he was saying how much fun
he had fucking Megan and watching Gregg fuck Trisha.  He told Gregg that
they should trade and Gregg could fuck Megan and he could fuck Trisha and
that they should make a porno video with the 4 of them.  I am going to keep
watch for that one.  Alisa came in to talk tonight and wanted me to teach
her some more about playing with her pussy.  We both got naked and I told
her that she could do all kinds of things with her pussy.  I showed her how
she could put her fingers inside and pretend that she was being fucked.  I
told her to spread her legs and I took my fingers and pushed them inside of
her a little and moved them in and out.  She really liked that.  I showed
her one of my favorites positions of laying on my tummy and putting my hand
between my legs and moving my hips up and down like I was fucking my own
hand.  Alisa put her hand on my cunt to feel how wet it gets and slid her
fingers inside of me.  I felt nice and she has small hands.  I asked her if
she could keep a secret and told her about what Rachel and I do.  She wants
us to touch each other too.  I like making my sister cum.  I makes me feel
so grown up.  We played with each other for a long time and had lots of
orgasms.  I want to know if having someone lick your pussy feels really
good.  I wonder if I can get Rachel or Alisa to lick mine.  I wonder what
it taste like.  I hope is not real grody.  I would make sure that they had
a shower first.  I think I will get online and chat for awhile.  Goodnight
diary.



   Wednesday, October 9th



   We are all working hard on this Halloween dance.  I am so tired when I
get home from school.  But the dance is going to he really cool and lots of
fun.  I went to Rachels after school yesterday to get ready to spy on her
parents.  We could not find a good spot to drill a hole to watch.  We did
find out that we can hear them through the heating vents down in the
basement.  So we are going to listen when I stay over at Rachels on
Saturday.  Becky told us at lunch that she walked in on her father in the
shower and he has a big dick.  She only got a quick look but it was worth
it.  She pretended that she did not know he was there and opened the door
while he was drying and got to see it.  We almost told her about watching
my parents but she has a big mouth and the whole school would know.  I saw
Trisha walking down the hall today.  She dresses like the ho she is.  Real
low cut jeans that almost showed her pubic hair and a tight blouse that had
her nipples sticking out.  I caught one of the men teachers staring at her
as she walked by.  I swear I could see his dick getting hard.  I got to do
my homework.  Bye.



   Sunday, October 13th





   I spent the night at Rachels on Saturday.  We had a blast.  We heard
that N'sync is coming to town at Thanksgiving.  I am asking my mom for
tickets.  I just love Justin.  My pussy gets wet every time I hear his
voice.  Too bad he is fucking that ho Brittany Spears.  We found a porno
movie that her parents had.  It was about an older couple having sex with
young girls.  It was pretty hot.  Me and Rachel played with each others
pussys while we watched it.  Later we went down to the basement and
listened to her parents fuck.  We good hear her dad telling her mom how
much he liked her mouth when she sucked his cock.  He kept saying things
like lick it and suck it deep.  Then we heard her mom say oh yea lick my
cunt, lick it good.  She said that she loves when Rachels dad sucks her
pussy.  Her dad said that her cunt was as tight as when they first fucked.
Her mom was yelling oh baby fuck me, fuck me daddy, oh yea fuck your pussy.
Her mom screamed oh daddy I am coming oh it is so good.  Rachels dad was
yelling to her mom , fuck your daddy move your cunt, oh it feels so good.
Yea here it comes for my little girl.  Rachel thought it was weird that her
mom called her dad daddy.  I guess it has something to do with the porno
tapes of the teenage girls.  My pussy sure got wet.  Rachel played with my
cunt and I played with hers.  I almost kissed it.  I asked Rachel if I
could have a good look and when I bent down to look at it I really wanted
to lick it and have Rachel lick mine.  Maybe next time I will take the
chance.  Today was the same boring stuff.  Time for homework and sleep. 
The Halloween dance is getting close.  Bye Diary.
