Harry Potter. Never in your life did you think that you’d have Harry Potter on your bed. Let alone crying.

You had told him that you wanted to try something new during sex. He agreed of course, ever the brave Gryffindor. Though he wasn’t expecting you to turn up to his dorm with a strap? Is that what it was? He’d heard about it before but he didn’t know much. It was shaped like a dick, but pink. He was curious on what this thing was but didn’t say anything because he wasn’t allowed to.

You started off gently by kissing him, taking control by pining his hands on both the sides of his head as your tongue invaded his mouth, trying to get him into the mood. And soon enough his dick was rock hard, and he was squirming underneath you.

You smirked as you finally broke the kiss for air. Conjuring some lube wandlessly. You put it to the side and started undressing, ordering him to do the same.

You were both completely nude by the time you were on him again, a wolfish grin adoring your face sending shivers down Harry’s spine. You pecked his lips once more and began uncapping the bottle, pouring a generous amount on your fingers.

You’ve done this once before when Harry had suggested it. He’d seen the way your fingers moved in and out of your cunt, your back arching as your fingers found your g-spot. And he wondered how it felt. Seeing the way that your were completely in pleasure as you bucked your hips.

He was kneeing in anticipation, waiting for you to fuck him with your fingers. You saw that and decided to play with him a little. Show him who’s the superior. You took your slicked up index finger, placing it hear his jawline and proceeding to drag the cold lube down his nipples.

Circling the bud with the lube covered finger as you watched with satisfaction at the way it hardened, and the tiny wimper that fell from his lips. Other hand pinching and pulling the other bud as you looked down at him. He was squirming again, panting and desperately trying not to reach your finger and shove it up his ass where he wanted it.

You decided you’ve teased him enough, your own arousal threatening to overcome you. You slicked up your fingers once more, moving yourself down to where he wanted you to be.

You lifted one of his legs and put it on your shoulder, admiring the view of Harry’s pink pucker. You kissed his inner thigh, gently sucking on the soft skin as you rubbed against his hole. He tensed up immediately, but soon relaxed at your gentle motions, and your mouth sucking a hickey on him.

You pushed merely a fingertip into his tight heat, hand on his hips rubbing soothing circles. You pushed more of the finger, stopping at the first joint. He moved sightly edging more of the finger inside. He let out a sharp inhale as you pushed the remainder of the finger. Remembering to be gentle as you pumped your finger in him slowly, in and out, in and out. Over and over till he was begging for another.

You complied, sticking another long digit in him slowly. Thrusting them into his hole. You added another as he begged for more. Thrusting three digits in his slick pucker. Over and over, your fingertips occasionally grazing his prostate driving him mad.

“Oh please, oh please. PLEASE,“ he begged as your fingers never stopping plunged into him. His hips bucking forward for more friction.

“What do you want mhm?,“ you questioned as you watched with heated eyes at how his hole sucked you fingers in greedily.

“Need you please, please mommy need you, nee-AHH,“ he nearly screamed as your fingers slammed straight into his prostate, and once you found the right angle, you found yourself fucking him with your fingers, constantly abusing his prostate. And by now he was writhing and begging for you.

Your own wetness was running down your thighs, mind fogged in lust for the man below you. You couldn’t keep dragging this on forever. You knew that it would only be matter of minutes before Harry would cum. But you would have none of that.

You suddenly pulled your fingers from his hole. He whined as he felt the cold air, the emptiness in his ass making him squirm, trying to get the fingers back inside him.

“Hush now. You’ll get what you get,“ you said quite sternly. He stopped almost instantly, not wanting to get on your bad side tonight.

You smirked before reaching over to were you put the strap and fastened it around you. It was a good 7 and a half inches. You would have done a 5 or a 6 but today you weren’t having it and decided instead to start off my big, even though this was his first time. You lubed it up with the reminder of the container and tossed it aside.

You watched as Harry’s eyes widened slightly, taking in the sight of you wearing something like this. He unconsciously licked his lips at the thought of the monster fake cock going into him, stretching him wide, filling him to the brim.

You noticed of course, smirking at him as you positioned the tip near his entrance. You rubbed it teasingly around his hole and watched in delight as it twitched in excited.

You sneaked a look at him; he was biting his bottom lips, eyes shut tightly and hands clutching onto the bed sheets like a life-line.

You grinned at the scene before you placed your hands on his hip, one leg still on top of your shoulder the other pushed up to his chest. You pushed in the head of the cock, pleased in the gasp that escaped his red lips.

You pushed a bit more, staying still for a few minutes for him to adjust. You pushed in more when you realized he was warming up and could take it.

About an inch into him and he's already moaning out like a bitch in heat. Merlin you couldn't wait to fully be submerged in him and to see how good he'd look stretched around your cock.

You pushed another quarter of the cock into him before you heard him let out a strangled cry.

You pushed on the spot again, electing another loud moan from his spit-licked lips. Oh, there it was. You purposely pushed on the spot again, another centimeter of the cock entering his body. The pressure on his sweet spot making his eyes roll back into his skull.

You let a smirk form on your face. Getting impatient to be gentle and slow. And so you pushed the rest of the cock into him without a warning.

He let out a high pitched scream as the rest of the cock pushed into his tight heat, the fullness of it all, and the tip brushing on his prostate so lightly, so teasingly, almost making him cry. Almost.

Your impatience was getting low, really low. You'd taken far too long to get into him, and now that you have, the feeling was overwhelming. And all you wanted to do was pound into him mercilessly and just take what you want from him.

And as much as you needed wanted that, you had to go slow in the beginning as to not overwhelm him too much.

"Good baby? Feel nice?," you asked. Rubbing soft circles on his hips once more.

"Mhmm, feels so nice mommy," his eyes were still closed, but a small smile appeared on his face at the feeling of it all and how you were making him feel even though you had just started.

"Yeah? My good boy feels so nice? How does he feel?," you questioned, beginning to gently rock your hips back and forth.

"Feel so full, so big, so nice," he murmured as he too began pushing against the rocking.

"Yeah? My baby feels so full of 'm cock? Mhm?," your pace seemed to increase of its own, the sense of going slow for his needs seeming to disappear into the back of your mind.

"Yes mommy, yes," he cried out as your rockings' turned into full-blown thrusts within seconds.

You lost all self-control the minute his hands came up to claw on your back, his nails leaving angry red crescent moons visible for days to come.

You started fucking him with long short thrust for him to get used to the pace and now that he had, you lost all sense and started pounding into him mercilessly. Hand tightly gripped on his hip, sure to leave bruises, the other free hand coming up to hold onto Harry's leg on your shoulder tighter.

He was crying out for every thrust, mouth open in a perfect 'O', eyes screwed shut, and hands clutching onto the crinkled sheets for dear life.

You found that spot again. Pleased in his cried-out sob as you aimed your strap on the bundle of nerves over and over again. Cock abusing his prostate.

You were so gone, mind only fogged in lust, and greed that you hadn't noticed that Harry had started outright crying. Not of pain, but pure pleasure. Well you noticed as soon as you heard him sniff.

Your eyes immediately darting to his face and oh merlin was it a sight for sore eyes.

You could have swore you would have been able to come from that image alone; glazed emerald green eyes are wet with unhushed tears, the thick black lashes clumped and glossy, his nose adorably red and leaking, knuckles turned white at the tight grip of them on his blankets, glasses askew, panting and moaning with each thrust and his face scrunched-up as you continued to molest his hole.

Fuck. He looks stunning. You wished you brought a camera to capture this moment forever.

His nails tug harder into your back as he sobbed from the pleasure. He makes these little irresistible little hurt sounds that you're pretty sure are the soundtrack to heaven. His hands coming up to your gorgeous y/h/c and tugging on them as he nearly breaks.

“Look at you,” you whisper, “So pretty for me when you cry.”

Oh but he was, face wet with tears and puffy from crying, so red and open, and still he wants more. You can't resist him like this and keep your steady thrusting. Faster and Faster as your climax started enveloping you.

Harry's own cock, red and leaking pre-come was ready to spill his seeds.

"Go on baby, touch yourself," you panted, as you watched him let out a cry as he began pumping his cock back and forth.

Your own climax fast approaching, thrusts becoming sloppier and sloppier till you let out a loud moan as you came.

Hips stuttering and head thrown back as your cum spilled down your thighs. Body trembling and out of breath as you came to your senses.

Harry rapidly wanked himself, the image of you being undone on top you bringing him to his own orgasm.

He all but let out a whine as hot white cum spurted in between your chests. Breath stolen and body numb.

He let out a wince as you pulled out of his abused and over sensitive hole. Throwing the strap aside to clean tomorrow and flopping onto the bed next to him.

You both stayed there, catching your breaths and raveling in the mind-blowing experience in a comfortable silence.

Harry was the first to move, pushing himself closer to your sides. He was always cuddly and soft in the aftermaths of sex so you gently turned on your side. Hands enveloping him in your arms, his head resting in the junction where your shoulder and neck meet. His soft breath tickling you.

"You okay baby?," you murmured breaking the silence. He simply hummed, voice soft from all the screaming and moaning.

You felt the soft-sated smile on his lips beginning to form, and felt a one of your beginning to grow.

You let out a chuckle, "Someone enjoyed that huh?", he simply hummed again but asked "Can we do it again?".

It was your turn to hum as you snuggled your head in his soft black hair. His legs tossed on top of you as you wandlessly pulled the blanket over you two and tucked the both of you in.

You decided you both could take a shower tomorrow, and let yourself completely relax in his arms.

And that's how the night ended. Limbs tangled, the smell of sweat, tears and sex in the air, and pure bliss

Giant Photo Gallery: Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the NHRA Gatornationals

Over 270 Photos of Cars, Stars, and the Sights of 50 years worth of drag racing from Gainesville Raceway

Opened in 1969, Gainesville Raceway has long been a favorite on the NHRA Mello Yello tour, attracting fans from across the globe for a multitude of events, including popular Amalie Motor Oil Gatornationals. This year, NHRA and Gainesville Raceway teamed up to celebrate the Gatornationals Golden 50th Anniversary of the famed event.

Considered one of the fastest tracks on the NHRA circuit, Gainesville Raceway has produced the first 260-, 270- and 300-mph Top Fuel runs. In 2019, the Gatornationals thrilled once again with record-setting performances and a host of specialty events.

T.J. Zizzo put on a great show, wheeling his Top Fuel Dragster to a best of 3.75 at 328 mph and scoring a semi-final finish.

The schedule was packed with Stock Eliminator, Super Stock, and the full list of sportsman classes, including Pro Stock Bike, Pro Stock, Funny Car and Top Fuel. Highlighted categories included the SAMTech.edu Factory Stock Showdown, E3 Spark Plugs Pro Mod, Top Fuel Harley, and the “Unfinished Business” match race showcasing legendary drivers of the sport.

The Unfinished Business line up included Don “Big Daddy” Garlits, Warren “The Professor” Johnson, Joe Amato, Shirley Muldowny, Terry Vance, Ed “The Ace” McCulloch, Kenny Bernstein, and Don “The Snake” Prudhomme. The eight drivers battled in 14-second Toyota street cars and the racing was intense. In the end, “The Professor” took the Fuel drivers to the mat, dropping them one by one until he was crowned champion.

Craig Bourgeois climbed the mountain in Comp Eliminator, taking the title with his super-cool A/ND (A/Nostalgia Dragster). Bourgeois nailed a perfect light in the final and out ran Comp veteran Randy Daniels for the win.

Pro Stock bike saw the debut of 3-time time NHRA champion Angelle Sampey on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and 200 mph runs from the two-wheelers. Sampey clocked a 6.81 and a top speed of 198.47 mph in qualifying to lock into the 6th slot, meanwhile, Matt Smith and Eddie Krawiec produced 200 mph runs. On Sunday it was an all-Vance & Hines final, with Andrew Hines beating Krawiec (6.75/199.17 mph to 6.75/198.90 mph) for the gold Wally.

Excitement continued in each and every class, but had our spotlight on the SAMTech.edu Factory Stock Showdown (you can read the fully FSS story on HotRod.com). This is the newest NHRA heads-up category showcasing Cobra Jet Mustangs, Chevy COPO Camaros and Dodge Drag Pak Challengers. These modern warriors go to battle with in a production-based supercharged steel cage match full of horsepower, burnouts, wheelies, and 7-second, near 180 mph performance—all from factory-built cars that run on 9-inch tires!

Jason Line readies his Summit Pro Stocker with a sweet burnout.

Former Pro Stock racer Drew Skillman was the class of the field in Gainesville, running a class record 7.71 at 176 mph and scoring his first FSS win. Skillman has previous wins in NHRA Stock, Super Stock, Pro Stock, and now he adds a FSS victory to his resume.

The action didn’t stop there. We witnessed insane Pro Mod runs, high flyers in Stock and Super Stock, and after four days, hard work paid off for teams who took home the commemorative Gold Wally trophies. It was great to watch former Car Craft magazine feature car owner Randi Lyn Shipp win Stock Eliminator in her ’67 Pontiac Firebird, then, her fiancé, Bo Butner took home gold in his Pro Stock Camaro. We could go on and on about the winners and hard chargers, but it’s way more fun to dig into the photo gallery. So kick back and check out the color, horsepower, and amazing action at the 50th Anniversary NHRA Gatornationals.

Funny Car is a fan favorite in Gainesville. Robert Hight scored the win with his AAA-backed Fuel Coupe running 3.86 at 331 mph to beat Tim Wilkerson in the final.

Scott Gove made the tow from Maine count, qualifying his wicked ’93 Dodge Daytona on the Super Stock pole. Gove ran an impressive 7.90 with his small-block, five-speed combination.

NHRA drag racing is all about horsepower, and the SAMTech.edu Factory Stockers make tons. This is the pole-setting ’plant of Bill Skillman, a Holbrook Racing Engines creation that propelled his 2014 Cobra Jet to a 7.74 and a top speed of 177.14 mph.

Former HotRod.com feature car owner, Randi Lyn Shipp outlasted the field in Stock Eliminator to take home the Gold 50th Anniversary NHRA Wally trophy. Her fiancée Bo Butner followed suit, winning Pro Stock.

Jeff Harrington was the top qualifier in Stock Eliminator with his all-motor 5.0L Cobra Jet. Harrington’s CJ wears a throwback Platt & Payne Ford Drag Team scheme.

Todd Tutterow qualified second in E3 Spark Plugs Pro Modified with a 5.67 at 250 mph. the pole was set by “Fast” Stevie Jackson (5.66/253 mph) and the bump was an amazing 5.75.

Drew Skillman made the move from Pro Stock to Factory Stock count, winning in his debut race.

Former Super Stock winner Anthony Bongiovanni lasted until the semi-final with his powerful Cobra Jet.

Nitro Harley has to be one of the wildest classes in all of drag racing. Here, Doug Vancil powers his Vance & Hines mount to a 6.18 at 237 mph in qualifying.

NHRA drag racing is an international sport with drivers from all around the globe. In fact, there were quite a few from Sweden, including Mikel Lind, who is a regular with his sharp ’71 Vette. Lind ran as quick as 10.52 and lasted a few round in Stock.

Adam Strang, of Jericho, Vermont, made the long tow down the east coast and qualified his ’68 Firebird in the 11th spot, running 10.45 in C/Stock. Strang lasted four rounds with his four-speed Bird before losing to Slate Cummings.

Former world champion Eddie Krawiec ran over 200 mph on his Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson Street Rod motorcycle.

Fan favorite Leah Pritchett competed in Factory Stock Showdown and Top Fuel.

John Gray competed with his retro-painted AA/SA ’69 Camaro. Gray ran 9s with the big-block Chevrolet.

You’ll see just about every type of muscle car at an NHRA event from old to new. In Gainesville we spotted Chuck and Steve Comella’s real-deal Hemi Dart. Yes, this is one of the originals and it’s still making trips down the quarter-mile. Driver Steve Comella nearly made it to final, but a -0.001 red light got him in the semis.

The Gatornationals is four days (and nights) of pure American muscle.

Another fun runner is Shelia and Stan Holt’s small-block, four-speed Chevy II. Stan handled the driving duties in Florida, running a best of 10.23 in GT/M.
