More than One Way to Win the Ring Toss

Danny Bailey x Reader

You grew up in Schmigadoon, and from the time you were 12, you thought Danny Bailey was the most beautiful thing you had ever seen. The more Mildred Layton warned your mother to keep you far away from him, the more you wanted him, but you could never meet his gaze, even as he helped you onto the carousel, as he’d done so many times over the past 7 years.

“Up you go, Little Lady,” Danny said with his dazzling smile.

You held his hand as you lifted up into the stirrup, but your foot slipped, and you fell with your back against his chest. He grabbed you around the waist to keep you standing, but his touch made you weak in the knees. Before you could fall again, he scooped you up and set you on a nearby bench.

“Whoa! Maybe you better sit this one out, darlin’.”

You blushed and nodded, but you still wouldn’t look directly at him. He got down on one knee, forcing you to focus on him. His eyes were the brightest shade of blue. You looked flushed, and he reached up to feel your forehead.

“Want me to call for Doc Lopez?” Danny asked you.

You stammered, “I’ll be fine. Thanks. It’s just warm is all.”

Still kneeling in front of you, he unbuttoned your mint green cardigan, and the backs of his hands brushed against your breasts. Your nipples hardened, which he couldn’t fail to notice through your white sundress. He smirked.

“I’ll fetch you some water before I start the ride, Miss…?”

“Oh, sorry,” you said as you tucked your hair behind your ear. “I’m (y/n).”

“Well, Miss (y/n), I’m Danny, Danny Bailey. Pleased to meet you, officially,” he said as he untucked your hair and winked.

He balanced by grabbing your thigh as he stood. You creamed your panties.

Danny sang along with the carousel music, and he gave you a little wave on every rotation. Another queue formed, and you admired his perfect ass while he ran the ride a second time. When it finished, he shut the music off and came to sit by you.

“How you feeling, pretty girl? Do you think you’re comin’ down with something?”

You wanted to answer “Yes, lust.” But your shyness stopped you, and you shook your head no.

“Carnival is closin’, but if you want one more ride, I have an idea,” Danny said, and reached to stroke the side of your face. “Whaddya say, Kid? Interested?”

“More than you know,” you surprised yourself by answering and staring into his eyes.

Danny shut the carousel down, then came and took your hand. He hummed as he led you to the Tunnel of Love. Danny lifted you up onto the deck from below.

“Rosebuds, huh, (y/n). Why am I not surprised?!”He said referring to your panties, causing you to blush again. He helped you balance as you stepped into the swan, and said, “This can be real relaxin’ if you ride alone.”

“But I don’t want to ride alone,” you said.

Danny hopped in the swan, put his arm around you and said, “(y/n), I’ve seen you many times, but you never talk to me, unless you ring me up at the general store.”

You couldn’t believe he knew where you worked and replied, “I didn’t think you would want to talk to the likes of me.”

“A lovely face with a gorgeous body. Yeah, I’d like to talk. I’d like to do more than talkin,” Danny said as he leaned in for a kiss.

Danny’s tongue grazed your lips, and you immediately opened your mouth for him. You’d kissed boys before, but it was never warm and wonderful like this. You were disappointed when the ride was over much too quickly.

“Care for a second round? And maybe a third,” he asked as he trailed a finger from your lips down to your cleavage.

“Yes,” you answered breathlessly.

He smiled, and as you rounded the curve into the tunnel, he unbuttoned the top your dress and fondled your breasts.

“You been kissed by a fella before, (y/n)?”

You nodded.

“You been kissed here?” Danny asked as the pads of his thumbs tickled your nipples.

You shook your head no.

“May I?” he asked as he brought his mouth to your breast, kissing and sucking.

He alternated sides, using his fingers to roll your nipple on the breast that wasn’t in his mouth. You squealed with delight. This was heaven to you, but you felt the night air which meant the ride ended again. He made no attempt to get out, and the swan lurched forward. His hand was on your knee, but with the jolt, it slipped up between your legs.

“May I?”he asked again, and you nodded, unsure of what he wanted, but you would let him do anything.

His finger traced your panties, and he feigned shock as he said, “Well, well, Little Lady, these are all wet. We may need to take them off.”

He tugged at the elastic, and you lifted your hips to assist. He rubbed your slit. Using two fingers he put pressure on either side of your clit.

“Mmmmm,” you uttered and wiggled a little.

“Like that, huh?! May I?” he asked a third time, and his finger penetrated you.

He groaned at how wet you were and placed your hand on his crotch. He moaned as you palmed him, and his mouth claimed yours again. He started pumping his fingers rapidly, massaging your g-spot, and the ride stopped again. You whined.

He chuckled and whispered in your ear, “My place is right over there.”

You slipped your sweater over your open dress. He picked your panties up off the seat and twirled them around his finger, laughing seductively. He opened the red doors to his flat behind the fun house and kissed you as you both walked inside. He led you over to an old love seat and sat you down. Rather sit next to you, he knelt between your legs and flipped up the skirt of your dress.

“I’m guessin’ no one ever kissed you here,” he said touching your clit with one hand while removing his cap with the other and running his hand through his luxurious hair.

“Oh my gosh, no!”

He didn’t ask permission this time. He just put your legs over his shoulders. He paused to inhale your scent, then leaned forward and licked. You never knew such pleasure. You didn’t recognize the noises you were making, and the louder you were, the more intensely he ate. Just when you thought you couldn’t stand it anymore, he moved his mouth to suck on your clit and pushed two fingers into you. You squirmed in ecstasy.

“Feed me, Baby,” he said looking up at you with those eyes. He put your legs down and pulled his turtleneck over his head.

You didn’t understand and frowned. He spread your legs wide against the seat and said, “I want you to come in my mouth. Let yourself go, (y/n).”

He leaned back in and put his tongue inside you as his thumb pressed your clit, and suddenly, you understood what he meant. You started repeating his name over and over, as your fingers ran through his hair. You felt the convulsions as your juices filled his mouth. The pleasure came over you in waves, and he held your legs tightly in place. Once you stopped shaking, he sat back and looked up at you, quite pleased with himself.

“You taste delicious,” he told you, as he stood and pulled you up by your arms, placing them around his neck and kissing you so you could taste yourself.

He removed his pants And you could see the bulge of his cock pressing against his briefs and then he took them off. He told you to remove your dress. He lay down on his bed and put his hands behind his head as he leaned against the star patterned pillow wearing only his white tank undershirt. His arm muscles flexed, and his magnificent cock stood straight up in the air. Your mouth fell open at how large it was, and he grinned.

“Well Little Lady, you can use your mouth or your pussy. There is more than one way to win this ring toss.”

You decided to use both.
