chapter 2

He knelt in the soft grass and bent over to cup his hands into the clear water and as he drank he heard a rustle and soft giggle. Was someone watching him? Something caught his eye.

Yes... standing across from him was a small young woman, almost translucent in the deepening evening light, lightly clothed in a fashion which did nothing to hide a stunning figure. This was something unique. He sat back on his knees and watched as she moved around the small pond towards him. He had never seen anyone quite like her...longish curled golden hair, a cute elfin face with round, interested eyes that were fastened to him, literally pinning him to the spot, immobile.

She moved nearer to him, in a drifting, easy walk. He followed her with his eyes, still unable to move, watching her as she knelt next to him. He was surrounded by a scent...her scent he realized, the scent of a rich fecund forest, the clean sweet smell of flowers at summers end. She leaned toward him, her small hands reaching out to touch his arm. Suddenly his stomach growled loudly in the stillness and she laughed, a laugh like the sparkle of a waterfall or the wind in the evergreen branches overhead. As she laughed she moved her hand to his shrunken abdomen, her hand there warm and sending a warming sensation throughout him.

She was clothed in a filmy green gossamer something that hid nothing and everything. A wreath of autumn foliage crowned her softly tangled blonde hair.

She radiated a strange, erotic energy, which also warmed him. But he was frozen, unable to move or speak, her eyes and touch holding him in place. His stomach groaned again and again she smiled, stroking it, still somewhat ample despite his forced dieting. He flinched as her fingertips rested lightly on it, he had never been touched there in such a familiar way. "Its ok", she whispered, her voice like the rustle of dry leaves and sparkling water cascading over moss covered river rocks. "Relax and feel my warmth ease your hunger."

As if coming to a decision she stood and beckoned to him. "Come with me" she said softly... "Follow me and I will take care of you, we'll find something to stop those empty feelings you are experiencing." He nodded in agreement, mesmerized by her touch, her beauty, the soft curves of her body shifting under her robe of sheer greenery. His muscles suddenly released, he staggered to his feet and looked down at her. She is so small, yet so voluptuous, he thought. Who is this creature he wondered, his hunger forgotten, the stomach pains muted by her touch...how can that be?

She moved away in a noiseless gliding stride, her shimmering clothing making her almost invisible in the deepening gloom. Stopping, she peered back at him and, cocking her head, beckoned again...."follow me" she whispered, "I will take care of all your needs."

His body now free, he stumbled after her, hurrying to catch up, following her into the dense understory of the ancient forest. They followed a barely recognizable path, turning and twisting into the dimness and he realizes that he was now totally and completely lost. All he can do now is follow her flitting shape, occasionally catching glimpses of her rounded, heart shaped rear end now and then, defined by the thin fabric sliding over her curves and softly muscular hind quarters.
