Alistair's

[slowandeasy]

Closed for Ms. read and myself


It was a beautiful sunny afternoon. A few giddy clouds passed overhead looking a for picnic to rain on, a dozen or so dandelions waved up from between the cracks in the sidewalk, begging for liquid nourishment, and a pair of robins under the eaves of an abandoned warehouse contemplated the construction of a home to raise a brood of babes.

Why Thomas had picked this particular street to walk down, he didn’t know. He had just sort of felt an urge, a pull in that direction. His afternoon walk after work usually took him down Rozecranz blvd. across the railroad tracks left on 4th street and ended up at the beach where he fed the seagulls a loaf of day old bread he had purchased along the way. Then he would watch the sun sink into the Pacific Ocean and go home to his empty apartment.

But not today. Today he had turned right on 4t street and ended up in front of a quaint looking little building. “Interesting.” he thought It didn’t really stand out at first, sort of just blending in with the background. Yet when he looked again he realized that the adjoining buildings were old and weather beaten with doors half off their hinges and windows covered with cobwebs and litter cluttering up their entrances. This building however appeared to be well kept with a freshly painted exterior. The sidewalk in front of it was swept clean, and the roof covered with bright red tiles. The door was a brilliant blue the color of a cloudless sky and above it hung a sign the shape and color of a fluffy cloud. In the middle of the cloud sign was a huge yellow cat, delightfully plump and contented with a huge grin on it’s face. Over the cat's head in lavender letters was the name Alistair’s written in a flowing cursive style. Thomas grinned back and felt again this urge to continue forward. Near the door there appeared to be a plate glass window, but when he came closer he realized it was a mirror reflecting the street behind him where he had come from. It was if he wasn’t even in the scene the mirror was reflecting, he closed his eyes in confusion. When he opened them again his image was now there. He looked again to make sure it was indeed him. He ran his hand through his unrully brown hair and was relieved to see his image did the same. Yes he told himself it is me same soft brown eyes same boyish grin even though he was 25 years old this very day. Same rather tallish thin body and tanned face. Yes it was him and since it was his birthday he decided to go inside and see if there might be a book he would buy just for himself on this very special day.

There was no sign on the door disignating the store hours but when he turned the knob and pushed gently the door opened and he decided he was lucky to have arrived when the store was open. A bell tinkled from somewhere above his head announcing his arrival and he stepped inside. His grin grew bigger when his eyes adjusted to the dimmer light inside This was his kind of bookstore. Posters and prints adorned the walls and hung from the ceiling every place available was filled with vivid colorful illustrations from every fantasy book that Thomas could think of.

“But where were the books?” Thomas pondered this was a bookstore wasn’t it? But wait, the sign had simply said Alistairs no mention of books. Only that fat orange cat that grinned, adorned the cloud sign outside. Why did Thomas think it was a book store?
“No matter.” he thought. it was a delightful place. If he couldn’t find a book to read at least he could enjoy imagining the stories that these illustrations represented. If only someone were here to help him decide which story he wanted to know more about.

He no more than thought that thought when he heard a rustle of cloth, not from behind him or in front of him or above or below him just there with him in the room.

“Can I help you ?” he heard a voice ask. It was a soft feminine voice that filled the room without an echo.

“Can I help you ?” he heard a voice ask. It was a soft feminine voice that filled the room without an echo.

A young woman appeared from around a corner She was a brunette with glasses wearing a simple yellow sundress. She had her long hair up in a bun with a few unruly tendrils sticking out.

"What is this place?" The man in front of her asked.

An easy going smile peeked out on the girl's face. "Sometimes I'm not so sure myself." Then she leaned in closer, whispering, " It's truly magical. First you must find the book of your choosing. Open it... and the pages will transport you into a whole new world."

The man had to strain to hear what the girl was saying. She skipped off around the corner once again.

The whole time a large yellow cat was rubbing up against his legs, arching his back. He never noticed it until now. He reached down and scratched the cat under the chin.

"You must be Alistair." The man said.

The cat looked up at him with mournful eyes and meowwed at him. The cat then stalked over to the one shelf in the room. There were three books on the shelf. A sign above the books said:

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. There are a list of things you need before you start your journey. Please see the assistant at the front desk.

There was no one at the front desk though. He wondered if the girl he saw was the assistant. He gave out a small hello. Nobody came. The cat jumped up onto the desk and started rubbing up agaisnt a small backpack that was lying there. A note was attached to the satchel.

All your needs meet, met, moot
From what you eat et loot.
Be careful what you touch.
It will either hurt or pleasure much.

Look for the Bell in the Well at the furthest Dell
That the Famer Pell is willing to sell
Don't forget Nell.

"Huh..." The man said , picking up the bag. "I guess this is all I need." he tapped his foot for a few moments. The cat jumped down from the desk and sat down in front of the only bookshelf and stared up at the book with the red cover

The man went over to the shelf and opened the book....

.... and woke up with what seemed to be the worst hangover he ever had. He opened his eyes slowly and found himself nowheere near that little bookshop he was just in. At least that was the last thing he remembered

 

[slowandeasy]

inside the book

Thomas felt the back of his head there was a bump the size of a goose egg. he looked around nothing was familiar or even made sense to him, soft green grass lay beneath him, he felt like he'd taken a fall, perhaps he had. Again he rubbed the bump. It was fortunate that he had landed in this grassy spot but he had no idea where it could be. He searched his memory and seeing the backpack on his back some things began to come back, the poem, the girl, the idea of magic. He decided he should be cautious Strange unpredictable things happened when you got involved with magic, he must be careful to make wise decisions. It wouldn't pay to let fate take over. He sat up and remembered more. The book with the red cover. Just as he opened he had felt the urge no it was more a wish a wish to read this book, now he knew. he was on a journey the yellow cat and the girl he had left behind. But no. One more thing entered his mind just before..the girl was leaving, "stop." he said He wanted to introduce himself, he wasn't trying to be rude, he wanted to be polite she should know his name so he said it quite loud in fact, hoping she would stop.

"My name is Thomas." he said what's yours... and then he felt it ,a rushing wind and he saw her stop and reach out for his hand he grabbed it just before his into the red book journey began.

He looked around and similed when he saw that she too was taking this journey.

"Are you alright." he said softly noticing that her hair was still intact in the bun and that only a few more tendrils were sticking out. Her glasses were in place on her head and her yellow sundress was uncrumpled. He hoped she didn't have a bump like he did.

"Oh lorrdy, lorrdy lorrdy, What have you done?" The girl moaned as she sat up on the grassy plain. She felt around in the grass and her hand came upon her glasses. She hurriedly put them back on her face. She blinked a couple of times before the world came back into focus. She looked around. Nothing else was out of place, except for her shoes. She lost her shoes somehow. She looked over at the man.

"You! You had to pick the red one didn't you!" The girl screamed at Thomas. The girl grumbled something incoherent under her breath. She was really furious at him. He caught something about being a fumble-handed baboon. She crawled over to where Thomas was sitting. She checked his head. That didn't look to good. he had a small cut at the top of his head. She pulled out a small wedge of wood with red slime all over it. "Eww!" She said throwing it out into the grass. She grabbed the satchel and rummaged through it, apparently looking for a bandage of some kind. She pulled out a bandaid. She applied it very carefully.

"Oww!" said Thomas, flinching at her ministrations. He got a good look at her cleavage in the process though.

"Serves you right! You're the one who picked the red book." The girl said. She stood up and walked away, heading for a small thicket of trees in the distance.

"Hey! Wait a minute! Where are you going?" Thomas scrambled hoping to catch up to his new acquiantance. She obviously knew more than he did in these unfamiliar surroundings.

 

[ms.read]

Thomas caught up to the girl. Maybe she was ignoring him.

"I tried introducing myself earlier..." Thomas said

The girl cut him off. "I know. You're Thomas." Sarcasm was almost dripping off those words. She kept walking towards the woods.

"And you are?" Thomas rolled the R a bit . He was getting a bit frustrated with the girl.

"Nelle." She didn't even stop to shake hands.

"So...." Thomas tried to keep the the conversation going. "What do you know about the red book?"

"Well I've heard alot in the past fifteen years that I've been working at Alistairs. A few patrons have come back...some weren't all that nice. A few even..." Nelle paused and looked down at her hands. "Let's just say that they wanted to destroy the book."

A few strides later she continued, "The book makes you face things. Truths about yourself. Lessons you need to learn... that sort of thing. Anyway. Most of the people that survive... they come back really battered... or they don't come back at all. "

"Oh." Thomas was silent

Nelle looked really depressed all of a sudden. It occurred to Thomas that maybe someone close to her opened the red book. they kept walking towards the woods. they looked awful creepy as they got closer and closer to it. Thomas wondered what was in there.

 

[slowandeasy]

the woods

As they walked towards the woods Thomas had time to consider his present situation. Not one to shrink from the unknown, he pushed aside the feeling of creepiness that seemed to permeate the air around them. He thought instead of how he was lucky to have company even though Nell seemed to be disturbed with the situation. Obviously she was familiar with this place inside the red book and even though she warned him of the dangers, it might be a good thing to face a few truths now and again even if they might not be pleasant at first. A truth that he had just observed was that he was here and he had to make the best of it. Another truth was that his knapsack had indeed held one of the things he needed, the bandaide that was protecting his wound. Perhaps it wasn't much but it was what he had needed at the time. He had been tempted to look in his bag to see what else he might need but he chided himself. If there was no need, why look? If he saw something interesting he could only guess its purpose until the real need arrived.

He got a bit behind Nell and considered walking faster to catch up with her and egage her in conversation but thought maybe it would be better considering her mood, to stay behind, besides it was rather pleasant to watch her walk. He became mesmerized by the sensous sway of her petite hips and how her sudress accented the motion of her long legs. she turned suddenly as if to see if he was behind yet and the sunlight streamed across her face and into the hollow of her neck and across thhe fabric that clung to he chest. Thomas felt the blood rise in his head when he thought about the glimpse of her petite breasts he had experienced as she had bent over to bandage his head. He vowed to be nicer to her as it appeared they were on this adventure together and who knew where it might lead. The fact that her mood seemed to be changing constantly led Thomas to believe that somewhere under that tough exterior was a girl he'd like to know better. He would need to consider ways to please her.

As they arroached the woods a beautifull beast trotted out to meet them Thomas was fearful at first the animal stood taller than either of them and his single horn, even though it was a shiny silver color and beautifully spiraled out from it's forehead, could be a dangerous weapon. He saw Nell smile however and allow the unicorn aproach her. Aparently the creepiness had left the woods as now the breeze began to blow and made music as it lingered in the trees.

Nell reached out and grasped the hard projection on the animals head and then a look of pleasure came into her eyes. Thomas was overcome with a feeling of trust and tenderness towards her as he watched her control this magnifcent beast with just her touch.

 

[ms.read]

Centaurs!

Nelle pressed her cheek against the magnificent animal and whispered words of kindess to him in a low soothing tone. The animal's ears pricked forward as if avidly listening to the secrets she was telling it. It whickered and pulled away, one of its eyes intent on her. They stared at eachother what seemed an eternity. Finally it, pressed its nose to her neck giving it a slight nip and then trotted off into the distance.

Just as the great animal had reached the horoizon, it bucked on its hind legs and waited.

"You think we should follow it?" asked Nelle

"I'm not sure." said Thomas, scratching his head and pondering. "Why not? It better than that copse of evil trees we were just heading into."

"Alright!" Nelle said lifting up the hem of her sundress so as not hinder what she was about to do, "you ready?" She looked at him with the first slaphappy grin he had ever seen on this strange woman. She didn't wait for him though. She belted it up the hill. For a moment he just stared looking at the milky white skin of her legs. Then he remembered that she was running away He lfted the satchel and made a sprint for it also.

They caught up to the Unicorn in no time. The view of what was over the hill took Nelle's breath away

Nelle danced in a slow circle and dropped to her knees."Oh my god! " Bless my boots and call me senseless Nelle thought.

Below in a great field, a herd of centaurs were galloping through. There were magnificent mares and stallions. Nelle squinted her eyes and she could see that there were a few foals too.

Thomas finally made it up to the crest of the hill. When he saw the centauri down there He gave out a great whoop of approval. Nelle quickly hushed him

"We don't want them to trample us." In their mesmirasation of the scene below, the unicorn had wandered off and was grazing in the grass nearby. Thomas went up to it.

"Kind soul, would you take us down to the lake that we saw?" Thomas asked.

The unicorn snorted what seemed in disgust. The animal turned its hind quarters at Thomas and let out a long very smelly fart.

Nelle giggled, " I think that would be a deffinite No!"

Thomas looked at her. "Well, I don't know about you but I'm thirsty. I looked in the bag but there wasn't any water in there. So we're going to have to get down there some how."

"Let's run then!" Nelle stood up and took off down the hill in the direction of the lake.

Thomas didn't have a good feeling about this. He figured that the huge centaurs probably had the same Idea.

 

[slowandeasy]

"Was he really thirsty," he thought as he looked again at the lake. If he had been, surely there would have been something to drink in his backpack after all, wasn't everything he needed supposed to be in there. Maybe he wanted to swim, the lake did look inviting and what better way to spend the day with a young vibrant woman than to frolic in the water with her. Her mood seemed to have changed for the better he thought she was in a frolicy mood, so he quickly caught up with her and suggested they go for a swim. "Skinny dipping." he said grinning he promised there wouldn't be any funny business, just good clean fun.

 

[ms.read]

Nelle ran as fast a she could down the hill. She had about a mile or so more to run. The fear didn't hit her until it was already to late. There was nowhere to hide from these magnificent animals.

The Herd of Centaurs were gathered around the small lake in all different manners of repose. Some were in the water up to theire human waist deep slpashing and laughing. Some were dosing while standing up. Others were checking eachother's packs that they carried on the horse like part of thier bodies.

At this point, Nelle was close enough that she was spotted by one of the sentries who issued a warning to the herd. All were watching her now. She slowwed from a run to a walk. As Nelle got closer the herd got more imposing with each step. She stopped about fifty feet away from the nearest being.

"Umm.... Hello?" Nelle sent out a greeting and waved at one of them.

Just then, one of the biggest, meanest looking animals came forward until she could almost touch him. He gave her an intense stare. His ears flickered back in forth. Nelle thought that this big creature didn't know whether to cause a rambling stampede or not at the sight of this intruder.

"I come in peace. I wish to share the water with you." Nelle said up at him. He whickered, bucked, and turned on his two hindlegs. He said some other stuff in a language Nelle couldn't even begin to understand. Uh Oh Nelle thought

 

[slowandeasy]

When Thomas saw the herd of centaurs in the water, he realized this was not the time to frolic. The huge animals with human shoulders, hands and heads had stern impersonal looks on their faces. He was in a different world that he knew little about and even less about what may next happen, It seemed to be some sort of fantasy, that there were no limits only what might be in the imagination of those involved. He tried to imagine something that he would enjoy seeing. He looked up in the sky. There was a huge billowy cloud it looked vaguely like a pirate ship. The more he watched it the more real it became. He could even hear sounds coming from it. Pirate sounds like "yo ho ho and a bottle of rum and shiver me timbers.

" This was really weird." he told Nelle who seemed to be seeing it too. "But maybe it's only our imagination." the sound of a cannon removed all doubts as a cannon ball sent a tidal wave in their direction.

 

[ms.read]

Apple.

The gaint centaur picked nelle up by the throat in the melee that the cannon caused. He galloped away as fast as the four legs would carry him. Nelle screamed and hit the hand that had such a strong grip on her neck.

Thomas ran after Nelle and the centaur, but it was no use. How could a human stand up to the power of a creature that had four legs?

About six miles away by Nelle's calculations, the beast finally slowed down to a walk. He dropped her in the grass right next to a gaint pile of fecal matter.

He watched her. The other Centaurs were catching up to him. they surrounded Nelle.

"Oh gods! What in the nine hells is going on." Nelle said as she rubbed her sore neck.

The big beast looked over at one of the older mares. He snorted and pointed. She whickered and whinnied back at him taking a step forward. Then she looked down at nelle.

"My Rohan can smell something on you. Something that we haven't had a whiff of in many moons." The mare's speech was thickly accented

Nelle's eyes widened in fear.

The mare continued, "I did not believe him until now. I stand by you and can smell it too."

Nelle looked over at the dung heap. All she could smell was the foul odor exuded to almost a choking nauseated feeling. Nelle's eyebrows rose.

"Umm...." Nelle replied. She did not know what to say. She put Apple butter on this morning, before she came to work. She knew horses were fond of apples but how anyone could smell anything near this pile of road apples seemed impossible to her. Nelle stood up and dusted off her sundress.

She went up to the mare , a bit apprehensively. She lifted her forearm. The mare stepped back, flicking her tail in surprise. Nelle just stood there, stock still. The mare put her ears back as she extended her nose just a little bit closer to the human. Her ears flickered forward in curiousity.

"Apples." Nelle said.

The mare stood with a stoic look on her face. Centaurs did not let thier stupidity show. But she was willing to learn.

"Apples," Nelle repeated. " A small friut that comes either red yellow or green. They grow on trees." Nelle used her hands to kind of display what an apple would look like.

Understanding lit up the mare's face. Nelle thought she was kind of beautiful.

"Yes. Why do you smell like apples? You are not an apple. Are you?" The mare said stamping her forelimb.

"No. But, where I come from, Apples are plentiful. My friend. Thomas. He has an apple with him. It's in his bag."

Thomas came strolling up to them, startling a few of the smaller foals.

"Hello." thomas said to every one. The Rohan pulled out his spear up to Tom's neck.

"Whoa, didn't mean to scare anybody. All this running has worn me out." Thomas said.

"What about the pirates?"nelle asked him.

"Oh they were looking for a chest of gold. I gave them a very good map telling them they should go west. To a land called Veritas. They left soon after." Tom said with a wink

"Well, these people want apples. I told them you had some. " Nelle said looking at the bag with meaning.

"What? Oh yeah!" Thomas said opening up the bag, careful of the spear at his neck. Tom put his hand into the seemingly empty bag and pulled out a Red Delicious Apple. It had a sticker on it like it came from the Supermarket.

The Centaurs were ready to stampede the poor guy. One Stomp from the Rohan Quickly quieted them. He lifted his spear away from tom.

What was the Rohan going to do?

 

[slowandeasy]

Thomas had no idea what the rohan was going to do. and he had no idea what to do next except get rid of this apple. He held it out toward the centaur who snapped it up in his hand and raised it to his lips.

Tom turned to Nelle. "I'm confused." he said I really thought the pirate ship was neat and I thought a swim might be fun too especially if it was with you in the nude." Somehow he wasn't afraid to be candid. and to speak his mind, "In fact Nelle, I had hoped that we could be alone, not have all these centaurs and such hanging aroung getting in our faces. It would be nice if it was just the two of us on this journey . Maybe have other things here but not to interact with. maybe thats asking for too much." He let out along breath having gotten all that off his mind. "What it all boils down to Nelle I think I love you, but shit keeps happening that gives me the willies, if you know what I mean."

 

[ms.read]

Nelle watched the scene before her. After tom gave The Rohan the apple, Nelle only had eyes for Tom. Everything else seemed to fade into the background. She listened intently to everything Tom was telling her. After he finished she gave him a big smile. He was just the best guy in the whole world.

"Tom. Forget about the Centaurs. They're just crazy apple thiefs anyways. Let's find those pirates and show them a thing or two." Nelle replied a little dazed.

Tom noticed that Nelle was acting a little strange before, always running away from him.

"I'm not letting you get away from me again, Miss Nelle." Tom said

"No, Tom. Let's just.... go together. Veritas can't be too far away." Nelle yawned. They walked in the grass a little ways. Nobody was around. "Walk with me Tom."

 

[slowandeasy]

Tom was more than happy to walk with Nelle. she seemed to have accepted his presence in this world and wanted to share this adventure with him. He took her hand and squeezing it smiled at her. He noticed for the first time the color of her hair, brown like autumn leaves. He wonder just how long it was. He couldn't tell, it was gathered up in a bun in back of her head. He wanted to ask her to take it down for him so he could see if it touched her shoulders. Maybe later he told himself now he was just content to walk alongside of her and hold her hand. He squeezed it again and felt her squeeze back. He wondered how long it would take to get to this place called vertas.

 

[ms.read]

"On your map that you gave those pirates, Which way was it to Veritas?" Nelle asked Tom

"Umm... I think it was that way" Tom pointed east. Nelle changed direction and started walking. Tim stopped for a moment and watched her.

Nelle stopped when she noticed Tom wasn't beside her. Nelle turned around.
"Well, are you coming?" She said impatiently.

"What are you in such a rush for?" Tom said. He sat down in the grass, his Khaki shorts riding up a bit. Nelle rolled her eyes and started walking back towards Tom.

" I just want to get on with this- this" Nelle paused for a moment searching for the word. "Adventure!" Nelle snapped

Tom gave her a look that he wasn't too pleased.
"Why? You have an appointment or a place you need to be?" Tom asked

"N-no." Nelle said and dropping on down onto the grass in front of him

"Then relax! Enjoy the scenery. Take a breath. Smell the roses or whatever." Tom fiddled with a blade of grass in his hand.

Nelle looked down at the grass. She sighed. It wasn't like she had to be home to baby sit the cat or anything. She just wanted to get this done and over with because.... Well because. Her parents died here and she didn't want to think about it. It hurt too much.

She looked around herself. The sky was blue without a cloud in sight. The grass seemed to go on forever. There was nobody but Tom around. She looked at tom finally. He was taking his shirt off.

"What are you doing that for?" Nelle asked. She was kind of embarrassed. No guy her age had done that before. He looked very good half naked in the sun. Nelle was feeling a bit uncomfortable. She had those buzzy feelings in her stomach

"Well, I'm hot and I don't want to bake in the sun." Tim said a little snappish himself. Tom thought about taking his shorts off too but maybe Nelle would yell at him or something. He layed back in the grass with his shirt under his head for a pillow.

Nelle had a headache from keeping her hair up this long. She took the elastic out and let her hair fall past her shoulders. Some of it landed in a pile on the grass next to her.

"Wow. You sure your your parent's forgot to mention your name was Rapunzel?" Tom said.

"Don't talk about my parents!" Nelle said in a low voice that refused to be disobeyed. She gave him a dark look before laying down beside him in the grass.

Tom must have hit a hot button. He kept his mouth shut for awhile.. They layed there all afternoon just lying in the sun. Nelle fluffed her hair a bit and used it for a pillow.

The sun was setting behind the horizon and the wind picked up. Nelle scooted over to Tom a bit.

"I'm a little cold."

"C'mere" Tom said. Tom put his arm underneath Nelle and his other arm around Nelle's waist. Nelle ended up facing Tom's chest. She snuggled in a bit. Tom felt the goosebumps on her arms.

"Wait a minute." Nelle said sitting up she took the bag out from underneath Tom's head. He seemed a little Disgruntled by it. Nelle opened the bag and pulled out a thick, fluffy blanket stuffed with down. The bag was empty. So it wasn't a bag of all tricks just what you desperately needed.

Tom took the blanket and spread it over the both of them. Nelle snuggled back up to him under the blanket. She put her arm around his waist. He grabbed her and pulled her closer so she wouldn't be cold.

"Know what?" Tom said

"What?"Nelle replied.

"I think this is the best time I've ever had in my whole life." Tom said with his eyes closed.

Nelle layed there for a minute taking in what he said. Taking in his odor. She squirmed a little under the blanket. Those butterflies just wouldn't quiet down.

"Me too." Nelle said.

Tom laughed quietly into the oncoming evening.

In the distance Nelle could hear the Wolve's cries. It sent a shiver of fear up Nelle's spine...

 

[ms.read]

kiss

Tom kissed Nelle on the forehead and whispered goodnight.

The stars were bright against the sky.

Nelle moved and pulled his head down closer to her.

She kissed him full on the mouth.

 

[slowandeasy]

The kiss full on his mouth surprised Tom in a very pleasant way. he had been contemplating it for some time now. He had beeen contemplating it all afternoon in fact but was afraid Nelle might be offended. Now He responded with a full mouth kiss of his own and then after they had both caught their breaths He gingerly traced a path with his tongue over the soft velvety surface of her upper lip and then her lower. Seeing them moist and slightly opened he poked his tongue between and found hers waiting inside.Suddenly there was a flurry of sensations going through his body "Butterflies." he said without thinking.

Nelle laughed "You too huh." Where do you think their headed?

"Lay still and maybe we can find out." Tom said his face turning into a grin.

They lay still trying not to giggle and trying to keep their hands off each other.

Finally Nelle asked as she put one finger on Toms lips. "Bet you got some here."

Tom shivered and kissing her finger said "You bet I do."

The game had begun and Toms hand went down under the blanket to rub the inside of one of Nelles arms. And how about you, got any butterflies here? And here? he whispered.

Not waiting for her answer his hand slid up her arm to touch her earlobe and fondle it. "And here?"

And here"? he said again as he stroked her neck and then without hesitation slipped under her sundress to cup one very petite and delighfully firm and utterly warm and resilant to touch breast.

"Yes! yes ! Yes! and Yes! Nell laughed and putting her hand over his held it cupped so deliciously sweet over her breast.

An Innocent Encounter.

"Tom, I really like you." Nelle said and kissed him again, this time with a lot more sensuality to it. She grabbed his other hand and brought it up under her sundress. Her nipples hardened in the now cool air.

"Nelle, I really like you too." Tom replied after Nelle let up from kissing him. He had to catch his breath. He sqeezed her tits and she let out a sigh.

"I wish I could see you," Nelle whispered into the darkness. Tom grabbed the sack and opened it up . Two large lit pillar candles came out of the bag. The glow was wonderful. It cast toms face some deep shadows.

"Just relax." Tom said as he got back under the blankets. Nelle slipped off the sundress while he got the candles and was now very self consious.

"I- I'm sorry it's just I havent done this in a long time." Nelle said. He pulled the blankets up so it was just under thier chins. They looked at eachother. Nelle felt his hands snake under the blanket and make contact with her ribcage. His finders made a firey trail up to her hard nipples and down again. Nelle involuntarily shivered. She smiled to let him know it was okay. He smiled back at her and continued his trail this time in a downward fashion.

"You hear that? The crickets are out in full force. It's like a night time sarenade." nelle whispered. Tom nodded in the candle light. He could feel his erection rising in his shorts. He thought about taking them off but he didn't want to scare the poor woman. He loved the feel of her soft skin. He couldn't get enough of it. He grabbed her gently by herside and pulled her closer so that they were touching front to front. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her ointop of him as he turned lying on his back now.

Nelles legs automatically opened, wrapping themselves to either side of Tom's hips. She suddenly felt how excited he was. She sat up letting the blanket fall to her waist. The movement mader her pubis grind into his erection. Tom moaned softly into the night. Goosebumps rose on his skin. Nelle let her warm hands roam all over his chest. His nipples hardened and she pulled on them a bit. He jerked involuntarily, pushing her hands away. "That's sensitive." Tom complained.

"So? Let me touch you." Nelle said. She rubbed his chest from top to bottom. her perky breasts stood out in the candle light.

"If I had a camera, I wish you could see the bliss on your face." Tom said. Nelle smiled, more confident now. Tom pulled her hips down and he ground his cock into her for a few minutes wordlessly telling her what he wanted. Nelle giggled into the night air. Nelle leaned down and kissed Tom's clavicle and the skin below his ear.

"God that feels good." Tom says. Nelle moves her body off of him for a moment her fingers at his fly.

"Help me." Nelle says her breathing much faster than before. She unsips him and he pushes the material down his legs. He kicks his shorts off.

Nelle hops on, this time ketting his thick erction slide right in. She sits up rocking back and forth on his cock in a rythm that is driving him crazy.

"Slow down. You're going to fast. I want you to enjoy it too." Tom pulls her down close so that her firm breasts are mashed against him. He holds her in a tight grip. Still her hips are rocking furiously fast.

Thats it! Tom rolls her over on her back and bashes her hips with his own. He hears her wimper precariously. "Did I hurt you?" asks Tom.

"No...it...it actually feels really good." Nelle says. Toms eyebrows rise. He does it again slowly letting his cock almost come all the way out then sliding it back in. her legs wrap themselves around his waist. "more"she whispers. Feeling his cock go in and out at theat pace felt really good for Nelle which was a little surprising. In her limited experience, she always thought that it only felt good for the guys. But this... this was better than anything she had ever known. She wanted to rush it along but he wouldn t let her.

He made her build it up slowly, so frustratingly slowly that she almost thought she couldnt bare it.

"Have you ever come before?" Tom asked her.

"You mean orgasm? No. the guys i been with, well they took their pleasure and left." Nelle said, embarrased.

Tom was left breathless. He was going to give this woman her first orgasm!
Nelle wrapped her arms around her new found lvoer and squeezed him as hard as she could. he shoved his cock in her one last time before it happened.

She was shot over the moon. Exstasy poured from her every pore, radiating out from her slick pussy. She gave one heartrending scream. She looke dinto his eyes the whole time. He smiled and pushed into her convulsing pussy one last time. He felt his balls tighten and rise. His own cock pulsed deep within Nelle as he poured his seed into her.

 

[slowandeasy]

Fantastic! truly fantastic Tom whispered taking a deep breath and letting himself flow like his seed just had. He felt absorbed into Nelle's her body not being able to tell the difference between the inside of her sweet pussy and the surface of his slowly softening cock.

He was delighted that she had cum, not just for him or for her but forthe both of them. It meant more than he could have imagined. It made him feel so close.. he felt so close... He shivered and rising up slipped to the side bringing her with him so that they were still connected, her breasts lightly caressing his chest with each breath she took. He matched his breathing with hers so that their bodies were always connected. He pulled her head into his shoulder and ran his hands through her hair.

"Wanta' spoon." he said suddenly.

She turned knowing what he meant pulling free from his cock and bumping her ass up against it from behind. His hands went around her to softly cup each breast and his legs moved ahead until he was tight aganst her ass. She invited him in by raising her top leg and opening her inner thighs.

He moanded and his wet cock slipped easily between discovering the heat of her slick pussy. A few more gentle nudges brought the tip of his cock at the entrance and Tom felt a new energy that he hadn't realized was there.

Nelle reached down between her legs and gently inserted his cock between the folds of her labia. Tomas responded by pushing his hips forward and felt his cock head enter her. He relaxed his body knowing that the heat inside would soon bring his cock to hardeness without any movement. from there who knew what would happen, for now he would be happy to just hold her this way.

"The morning after"

Nelle, felt Tom slide his cock up inside her once more, this time from behind.

"Shh... I just want to fall asleep with you this way." Tom said in her ear.

"Goodnight baby." Nelle said.

And in the wee hours of the morning they fell asleep.


The next morning Nelle woke up with a kink in her hip,

She looked down and there was tom on his knees between her legs. He was inside her puss puss. Her hands snaked up around his neck. she kissed him good morning.

"Good morning!" Tom said, his cock slowly sliding in and out of her pussy. It was getting her hot and bothered all at once. Tom picked her up off the ground so that she was on his lap. She sat down on it and felt his full length and girth inside of her. Just with that knowledge she came. hard. Tom jacked his cock in and out of her at a fast pace after he felt her pussy contracting around his cock. Soon enough he jetted right up inside her.

"Your on the pill right?" Tom asked his brain working out that he just rode her bareback.

"No. Don't worry about it. I cant have kids for the next 5 years."

"Oh...okay" Tom couldn't figure that out for a moment.

"I didn't think it was the best choice the pill, since 1 in 4 women still get pregnant. So I have the Norplant. Anyway, I have a kind of fetish of a guy jacking it inside me. Love the feeling. Condoms are too messy."

Tom got up, thinking "okay tmi here."

He scanned the area. There was a lake not a few yards away. Nelle saw it too. She got up tagged him and said " Race you there."

She went all out while tom gave a half hearted jog over to the edge, while admiring Nelle's assets.

Nelle continued running right into the crystal clear water until she was in it about chest deep. Splashing she dove in and came up Wet. Tom waded into the water. It was warm...

Nelle thought. Wow, this feels really good. Not wearing any clothes. my pussy is free and not constrained in some spandexy fabric. She felt the water flow through her legs. Mmm! Her breasts floated in the water. She decided to float on her back. Her nipples hard, pointing up out of the water....

 

[slowandeasy]

Going to sleep with his cock deep in her pussy from behind had been heavenly and waking up with a hard erection had been divine. What was it about this girl that made him so horny he had wondered, but no for long as he had decided to wake her up with another fuck. After she had climbed into his lap, his cock deeply embedded in her hot wet cunt it hadn't taken long for both of them to cum again.

Now they were in the water and Nelle was floating next to him. For a while he watched her as her perky nipples protruded just above the surface. Resisting the urge to take one invitingly wet nubben into his mouth he lay back and began to float himself.

There was something magical about this water, even though it was fresh and crystal clear it was incredably warm and easy to float upon. It took no effort at all to remain afloat without the slightest movement and when he lay back he could turn his head and not worry about sinking. He could even raise his head and look at his toes. And in between. Oh my god! He had another erection already It stood tall and proud out of the water. He wondered if Nelle saw it too. He closed his eyes and waited to feel what would happen next.

 

[ms.read]

Nelle looked over at Tom and almost spluttered when she saw the very nice erection standing tall above the water. She turned letteing her feet hit the sandy floor of the lake and waded over to tom. he had his legs spread wide so she just glided in between his thighs.

Tom felt her hot breath at the base of his cock. He pretended to be oblivious to her actions so as not to scare the young woman. he heard a slight splash and felt her wet hand grab his penis with a firm grip, and stroke it from tip to base. He gasped in pleasure, which caused him to lose his concentration on floating on the surface. He floated down his own feet finding the sandy floor. Nelle's hand stayed around his cock. He felt like he wanted to drop to his knees in front of her from the pleasure.

Nelle thought the water made her feel very light. She let her toes tip off the floor and out from behind her to test while she kept stroking her lover. She laughed at the discovery. He pulled her along around in a circle while she held on to him by his most private place. She moved once again after he stopped and wrapped her legs around his waist.. She let her hands rise, gliding easily over his rib cage, making him jump when she touched a sensitive spot. Her finger tips found his nipples under the water Seeming to send electric thirlls though his body. She felt his cock go even harder and was now caressing the inner folds of her pussy. She looked into his beautiful eyes. She stared into them like it was the last thing she would ever do.

Nelle wrapped her arms around his neck and layed her head on his shoulder. He held her in his strong arms and they floated around like this for what seemed like hours. Nelle finally finding the courage, squeezing her legs tight, felt his cock stab into her hot pussy all at once. He gasped at the feeling, the hot air against her ear. She smiled a secret smile and snuggled into him even closer.

 

[slowandeasy]

Tom couldn't believe that he stayed so hard for so long. Was there some kind of magic in the water or was it this magic world that they had found after they entered thE book that made this possible. At any rate he was loving the feeling. The feeling of filling her up so completely and the feeling of her wanting him to be inside her even when they just floated and hugged and caressed each other. Even when they just relaxed they felt so together as they shared this most intimate connection.

He felt her pussy squeeze his cock and knew she was loving how he felt inside her, felt him hard and long and thick and so ready to stroke again. He closed his eyes and tried to think of how the inside of her pussy looked all filled up with his cock straining against her soft walls and extending up to prod against her cervix. He knew there was a special area just inside her vagina that was really sensitive and that when he pulled out most of the way the hard curve of his cock would press against it. He felt the suction created by her pussy squeezing and he pulled against it withdrawing just enough so that he could make short quick strokes against her g-spot. She let him know him how good it felt by pushing against him in the same way, pumping her hips up and down, short quick strokes that soon became faster and deeper. His hands were on her breasts, pulling at the tender nipples and kneading the soft globes of flesh. He lunged into her with a ferociousness he hadn't realized he had. His cock on fire, precum streaming from the tip jerked as his hands went to her shoulders and pulled her tighter to him.

"Oh fuck! Nelle." he shouted as he felt himself starting to cum. "Oh... Cum with me Nelle." he urged her as he rammed into her again and again.
