1. That one stranger
“Arya?” A sharp voice erode the space.
“Did I hear that correctly?”
I moved behind the Banyan tree, my hands all over it as I blinked with fear, I almost lost it…
My stepmother finally walked past and I heaved with so much ease, the smile on my face was enough proof.
Huh, finally!
I breathed as I dust off the dirts on my layered gown,I began my journey to the Artemis River. Walking down the dark forest and the only sounds I heard was birds cheerful chirps and the crusty leaves that I was stepping on.
I envied the birds, I wanted to be as free as them.
After a short journey, I arrived at the river bank and it was all that I had imagined, girls in our little village had been here but I wasn’t lucky enough but today, I was going to fulfill the last thing on my wishlist.
I looked around, with fear. Praying silently that no one comes here until I was done.
And slowly, I dropped the things I had with me and began to remove my dress, to my underthings till I was standing stark naked.
I pulled the fluffy Scrunchy on my wrist and parked my hair in a bun with it.
I stepped into the river and the calmness was one I’ve never felt before, I was happy, free and safe.
The joy in my heart led me to start humming lullabies I heard while growing up as I buried my head in the river every 10 seconds and I was too lost into it that I didn’t realize anything that was happening.
“Little miss” I jerked and pulled up.
“Who is there?” I asked with a shaky voice, I couldn’t jump out of the river.
I had to sit low so it’d cover up to my shoulder and my nakedness wouldn’t be seen by whoever was here.
I kept on gazing around but couldn’t see anyone, not even an animal.
For a moment, i thought the fear in me was giving me weird signals so I just turned away but then I heard that footsteps drawing nearer.
What do I do?
I can’t get out like this?
I was ready to risk it all as long as I escape from here so I pulled up with the aim to grab my dress and run, I froze as a hand dropped on my shoulder and pulled me back into the river.
“Arghhh!” I screamed but was immediately cut off by the hand covering my mouth.
“Don’t scream” An icy voice, dark and deep spoke, sending shivers down my spine as I rested on him.
My body was tensed and my heart was beating way too fast that I couldn’t even think straight, all of a sudden, I was swirled till my face was now so close to his.
I hated that he had a mask on and the only thing I saw from his facial features were his lips and forehead.
He was endearing, strong, and his breath give me chills that I was scared and ended up looking away.
Why was I scared but still feels that he wasn’t here to hurt me?
I was in my thoughts when his left hand picked my chin and tilted it back to his face, now staring into my soul.
“Were you sent by my stepmother?” It was a foolish question to ask because no man in our village was as hot as this man.
“I need you to…” his hand signs on his lips said what he wanted me to do and I obeyed him without questioning him.
I had to remain composed or something could go wrong.
He was staring at me from head to toe, how he was able to do that even with our position was a mystery to me, he smells so good and his aura was overwhelming, the look he gave me was seductive and captivating. I was still trying to calculate what was going to happen next when he pulled me closer and snuck his lips in my neck.
I grabbed him at once, a feeling I’ve never felt before surrounded me as his wet lips trailed from my ears down to my neck and almost at my collarbone when suddenly I gripped him.
“Stop!” I ordered.
“I don’t plan on listening to you” His husky voice replied and the next thing I felt was his bulgy hand over my left breast.
I totally forgot I was naked.
He squeezed it so hard that I felt the sting and shut my eyes, I didn’t know why I was still obeying him, why I couldn’t just push him away and run.
“I..” I moaned as he flicked his fingers on my hard n*****s, he then resumed to sucking my neck whilst messing with my breasts at the same time.
I was suddenly wet, I could feel it and I was praying he wouldn’t come down there, it would make no sense that I was this soaked for a stranger.
It was as if he could read my mind, he slowly pinned me against the rock and rubbed my flat stomach like he kept something within. He trailed his fingers from my chest to my p***y which made me flinch.
I sucked my lips deliciously as he thrust his fingers into my tight core, I find myself wrapping my arms around his neck as he held my waist possessively with his other hand.
We weren’t having an actual conversation but what he was doing to me felt as if we were.
At the moment, I want nothing else than to be touched by him this way or even more, I would do anything to go extreme.
“I want you…” I heard him say as he roughly sucked my neck.
I wanted to reply, ‘you’re having me now’
“I want you to be mine, and I’ll have you!” He muttered, licking my neck and caressing my soft peachy ass.
He slowly massaged me and I clenched my body against his as he brings his fingers to my open, a thought flash within my mind.
“Oh my, I have to leave!” I exhale, my body trembled as I sighted the guards from our village looking around.
For me!
“The day I find out you’ve been intimate with any man will be the day I banish you and your sick mother from this village!” I recall my father’s word.
