It was one of those
very unusual Northeast Februarys that only come once or twice in a lifetime.
Instead of being wintry, or even unseasonably cool, the weather at one o'clock
in the morning was a balmy 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ramona was standing
outside her cabin, without even so much as a jacket to cover her clothing,
absorbing her surroundings in disbelief. The air felt warm and close. Droplets
of moisture played about her face as the heavy mist kissed her cheeks. Ramona
spun around with her long arms stretched wide, allowing the drifting fog to
settle upon her skin. Its unnatural warmth felt eerie. Her long, black hair
lifted outwards as she spun, sending a damp caress along the back of her neck.
Her nipples puckered through her clothing and she shivered a bit, once again
standing still, allowing her spinning mind to come down from its high. Reaching
over, she picked up her lantern and ventured forth to the edge of the woods,
embracing her desire for adventure.
She quickly found an
entry point, an opening in last season's brambles, and moved boldly onwards.
With her lantern slicing a glowing path through the mist, she moved her way
over to the hundred-year-old oak tree, a spot where she often sat on summery
days, contemplating life. Her mind would wander as she sat, by her tree, her
playful fingers sometimes satisfying her own needs, as she imagined lovers past
and lovers yet to pleasure.
She had never come here
at nighttime, though, and the thrill of a new experience draped itself around
her. The heavy fog glistened along the twigs and branches, throwing back the
light it captured to help illuminate her travels. After making her way over the
leaf-strewn forest floor, she finally came to her favorite tree and plunked her
bottom down on the flat granite stone at the base of the old oak.
What new sounds would
she hear through this mist? Surely there were different woodland creatures
mucking about in February. Certainly, insects were not yet an issue, she
thought, quite relieved. She breathed in the mist deeply, filling her chest
with new aromas and sensations. She stretched out her legs, one at a time, and
leaned back against the massive trunk of the tree. Closing her eyes, Ramona
began to lose herself in thought, and didn't notice how the billowing mist
began to suck itself closer, becoming denser and denser, surrounding her and
her friendly oak.
Ramona's eyes sprang
open, interrupting her meandering thoughts, as she felt her hair catch on
something behind her. It tangled her hair so completely, she found it
difficult, if not impossible to turn around. She then noticed how unbelievably
thick the fog had become, obscuring most of her vision, despite the glow of her
lantern. She tugged harder, trying to pull herself free, but found she was held
firmly, unable to move, or even get up.
As Ramona struggled,
she heard a strange noise behind her. It was a viscous sound, a sound of
motion, as if she could hear the sap running up the huge trunk behind her. The
air around became thick and warm, and her nose detected a faint smell of
fireplace smoke. All at once she felt her top being lifted over her shoulders
from behind, exposing her small round breasts to the balmy night air. Her
nipples instantly stiffened, in spite of her mixed emotions, and the surprise
of it all caused an immediate tug and tightening, as she felt her excitement
coaxed from down below. Then she heard the voice.
It was a deep, liquid,
and masculine voice – at once powerful, yet warm and gentle. Its vibrations
enveloped her soul, surrounding her thoughts, and calmed her nerves. She
relaxed back into the tree to listen to the voice.
"I have looked upon you
over many afternoons, savoring your company."
Limbs from the tree
reached around from behind her to caress the sides and front of her breasts.
She gasped, startled, but with definite pleasure at his touch. The branches
felt smooth and polished, silken but firm. He lingered, wiggling her nipples,
causing a new flood of moisture to dampen her thighs.
"The masterful mist has
enabled me to enjoy your bounty – as in the past, you have enjoyed my shade."
His slender woody tips
crept down her body, slowly, savoring the feel of her warm, living skin. The
sensation was unreal, yet wonderfully erotic. As she felt his exploring, unique
touch, she realized nothing she had ever experienced before had felt this
incredible. Ramona closed her eyes and began to lose herself in the moment. She
felt herself tingle as her oaken lover traced delicate lines along her belly.
Lifting her hips, she lowered her remaining clothes to allow him better access
to her inviting warmth. Another branching limb reached down and began to softly
stroke her curly mound. She wriggled at the sensation, quivering, as one wooden
finger lightly brushed past her clit, igniting her excitement. He toyed
playfully with her bouncy breasts while he teased and stoked her fires below.
She could feel her aching desire build. The sensations were becoming more
intense. She felt her orgasmic bliss overtake her, shaking her world from
within, her liquid passion spilling over to soak the ground beneath her.
Suddenly, a huge root
erupted from the ground and the golden mist quickly circled around it. The
oaken protrusion was at once clean and glistening. It ventured slowly up her
leg, allowing her to feel its enormous length and girth. She tensed in
anticipation and longed for completion. Ramona was intrigued. She sensed the
probing member testing her waters, seeking to gain entry into her world. She
opened her legs wider and invited her oaken lover inside.
Ramona felt a powerful
warmth envelope her body, as the thrust of his unusual phallus filled her,
satisfying even unknown desires. He pumped furiously within her, taking her
body and mind to places she had not yet explored. The rush was tremendous, his
touch sending sparks of arousal throughout her body. She felt the strong crest
of another orgasm overtake her. Her waves of pleasure rocked her body and soul.
Once again she smelled the scent of charring embers as she felt the ground
shake and heave beneath her. She heard an energetic rumbling and felt her lover
sharing in her incredible orgasmic experience. The final thrusts of his firm
root squeezed the last of his seed within her. He slowly withdrew from her
warmth, returning to his earthen home.
Her strong, tender,
forest companion slowly retracted his branched arms from around her body. She
sat up slowly, her loose hair flowing softly in the warm breeze. Pulling on her
clothes over her humming, satisfied skin, she heard her lover's voice for the
very last time.
"Thank you for letting
me share in your world, if only for a moment."
Ramona approached the
trunk of her wondrous tree, wrapped her arms around it, and held it, lovingly,
for a long time. The air soon became cooler, with the sun peeking out of the
eastern sky and the marvelous mist thinning out amongst the morning air
currents. She found her lantern, now burned out, and made her way back up the
trail to her cabin. As she reached the clearing, she turned to look back toward
the forest, once again unsure.
Had it been real?
Perhaps it only had been a dream, a fantasy. She couldn't be sure any more. Her
body still trembled and she shook her head. Then she smiled, the warmth of the
morning sun's rays promising to keep all her secrets.
