She’s at the water! With that Cain shimmered. He decided he’d walk on the beach as an ordinary person just out for a walk looking for a place to fish. Then he saw her sitting there looking at a book head bent hair up in a messy bun and her long neck exposed. Why did he sense her as soon as she touches the water? Why now after all this time? He was certain she spend lots of time on this beach and she must have been in the water tons of times and nothing felt like this and now it vibrates him to his core when she dipped her toe and it penetrated him like a beacon. He didn’t want to scare her or surprise her. So he decided to pick a spot to pretend fish not too far from her as a kind of ice breaker.
“Sir your not going to catch much fish here!” She yelled with a smile and that was my opening. I got from my spot and wondered closer to her.
“Why do you say that miss?” I ask as I stop a short distance when she looks up again at me. When she looked directly in my eyes I felt my mind cloudy, my heart raced and my whole body responded to her eye lashes fluttering as she tried to focus on me with the strong sun.
“Because for some reason not many fish reside here. Maybe something to do with the reefs surrounding the area and they have less need to come this way but it’s been like this my whole life! Just thought I’d let you know so your time isn’t wasted.” She smiled and splashed her toes in the water.
“I don’t recall ever seeing you are you new here?” I asked her as I sat on a rock beside the ledge she was sitting on. I didn’t want to scare her away before I’d had my fill.
“ I have lived here since I was four and we don’t get out much but I don’t recall seeing you either.” She looked in my direction again while using her hand as a shade from the sun.
“Oh I see. I’m new to the area. My name is Cain pleasure to meet you?…” I wait. I could see her debating if she should tell.
“Jamie! Nice to meet you Cain.”she smiles and I find I’m smiling too.
“So in future I need to fish somewhere else for fish.” I laugh to her and she giggles.
“Since I’m new here and know no one would it be ok from time to time to come and chat with you?” I ask and I immediately see the wheels turning in her head. She’s gauging me trying to decide what she should say when she turns towards me.
“Well we can chat some more now and I’ll decide if it’s something I’d like to continue if that’s alright?” I’m grateful she didn’t completely close the door on the idea of meeting here again.
“I work a lot and days like today are rare. This is usually the only day I get to rest so I fish, read or try and socialize and make friends.” He smiled but seemed so sad. There was something about this man that seemed familiar. I liked him right away and I instantly thought I hope I find a mate like him. Only he seemed sad like my dream and I decided if he needed a friend I would be that.
“Today’s our usual day of rest from a very strict schedule but I find time most days to come here if even for a little time. But today’s the day I get to spend the most.” She splashed her feet again and I suddenly ask.
“It’s so hot out do you swim?” She turned to me and nodded. When I saw a small blush I knew she was thinking ‘yeah naked’ and my body got warm just remembering that day.
“Ok!” I stand and dive in fully clothed. I knew she followed because I felt her entrance to the water being on a shock wave through my core. Before I knew it she was beside me but not too close. She obviously felt she was safe with me but her eyes told me that there were still doubts. I didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable so I went about swimming and frolicking in the cool water making sure to stay a distance. Jamie was doing the same smiling all the while and it was intoxicating seeing her glide through the water with the giggles that would erupt from her luscious lips.
“The water feels amazing.” She stated as she stopped to float on the waters surface and images of her naked body floating being kissed by the sun flashed in my head. I dove and swam under her not realizing she didn’t hear me and when I brushed her bottom she panicked and sunk in the water. I quickly went to her and pulled her to me and out of the water. She instantly wrapped her arms around my neck and my body felt fire.
“Sorry about that! I didn’t mean to startle you.” I said as we just looked in each other’s eyes. The feel of her body hugged tightly to mine and then silence. We stared into each other’s eyes and for once I was actually scared to move knowing that any sudden movement would break our spell. I saw her look at my mouth as I did to hers and just like that the spell broke with her move to break free and I was released her. Her body moving against mine awoke my soul and I was feeling something I hadn’t felt my whole life. No woman was this close to me. We exited the water and sat in silence for awhile and I could feel my presence become an intrusion to her. She seemed awkward and I got up and thanked her for the company and gathered my things to leave. This would have to be a slow process.
“I hope to see you again. I appreciate your time and I hope the rest of your day is pleasant.” I could see relief in her smile but her eyes looked sad almost as if she were conflicted.
“Cain I’ll be here your next day off and I did enjoy our chat. I’m just not use to being around people and I’ve never been around a man in my life.” She blushed and I wanted to grab hold of her and kiss her but I had to wait. So she was pure. That information made my heart flip and a giddiness took hold that I hid well.
“Well Jamie I’ll be here! I’ll be on my way in search of a better fishing ground now. I know I am of the opposite s*x but just so you know I would never hurt you besides you’re my first friend here and I will cherish that always and I hope to see you same time next week.” I bowed my head and walked away in pretending to find another area to fish but as soon as I was out of her view I shimmered home. I couldn’t believe she wanted to kiss. Maybe I should have kissed her but deep down I knew that that would’ve been too fast ending in the worst fate I could ever imagine which would be her being overwhelmed and avoiding me in the future. This way there was another meet up planned. She would be there and I’d be waiting with bells on. I knew I would have to play my cards right and patience will be of the upmost importance. Witnessing her curiosity debating what kissing me would be like her innocent blushes made my soul swell. Why now after my entire life never having interest in the opposite s*x did this little witch or Little Wolf make me burn with such fire and need.

I almost kissed a stranger what was wrong with me this man I only just met had the power to make my stomach feel like it were full of butterflies and my heart did somersaults when he smiled at me, no doubt he was a very attractive man but that couldn’t explain the thrill or the sheer happiness I felt spending time with him how does one feel that way with a Stranger? I chalked it all down to it being just a very strange experience especially since it was my first time in the presence of a man maybe I had been deprived my whole life avoiding the opposite s*x maybe I should have made friends in the town but it was never good to dwell on the what if‘s this was my life and my future was based on the decisions I would make here on out. I couldn’t get out of my head the fact that I finally made a friend there was something calming about him that didn’t make me fearful or nervous except for when he held me and I thought about kissing him. Then thoughts of what my meat would look like filled my mind and I only hopes that he would look very similar to the man I encountered today. I decided I would not tell the answer about this encounter in case they were decided not to let me go alone to the beach. They were always sceptical and weary when it came to new people especially strangers and knowing that someone just showed up on my tiny piece of heaven after all of these years and on top of that being a man alone in my presence I knew that that would not be a good thing to inform them about. My curiosity about why this man a total stranger I might add made me feel safe, secure and in want. Yes me in want! But what did I want I know I love the feel of his arms wrapped around me feeling his breath on my face and I would only pray that we will eventually end up in a position like that again. I decided to get up and head towards the house and hopefully figure out what I will cook for the aunts upon the return for our evening meal. Instead of leaving the beach feeling my usual rested stress-free self I felt sad and disappointed. I wanted more but what does more actually mean? I really wanted him to kiss me considering I’ve never been in the presence of a man let alone kissed anyone before I had no clue how to go about it myself. I decided to file all my feelings and my thoughts to the back of my head until later when I lay in bed and would have the time to think about him without being disturbed but for now the task at hand was to chop up some wood get the fire going and cook some thing for a meal. I had never looked forward to going to bed so much in my entire life.
I have decided to cook a chicken in the oven with root vegetables on the bottom so all the juices would flavour them stew was good and all but if you have it too often it does get a little boring so what I would do is roast the chicken as the vegetables cook on the bottom at the same time and I would take them all and mash them and have it on the side with the chicken. After the chicken and vegetables were placed in the oven and I was just done mixing the bread to set rise when the aunts appeared home.
“Hello sweetheart it smells lovely in here. I was actually a bit stressed out knowing that I forgot to set dinner plans in motion before I left and I rushed home to start cooking just realize you had everything in hand.” Aunt Lidia stated. I honestly love surprising my aunts the simplest things put the biggest smiles on their face and I love being the cause of that.
“I knew it would be appreciated.” I say hugging her from behind as she put her findings away. She giggled and patted my hands before lifting one up to kiss like she had a habit of doing.
“You’re the best child we could’ve ever hoped for my dear.” Aunt Charlie said dumping an arm load of wood before coming over to be included in the hug. The love these two provided me was my strength and I adored them. I remember asking my aunt Charlie if she was ever angry that Uncle Hale died saving me but she told me that she could never be angry because I was living proof of his goodness. My aunts never being blessed with children of their own cherished and treasured my very existence as if I were a gift from the heavens. And Charlie always said that instead of sadness when she looked at me she saw proof of her mates existence and of his devotion and love. It was unfortunate that Uncle Hale was just a mere human but even for just being a human he was beyond exceptional with his strength and fighting skills he alone was the one who taught my aunt Charlie how to fight through the years. When she trains me it feels like a very special experience because she’s passing down his knowledge and I feel blessed feeling that he is in someway a part of me as well.
“Well that’s done!” Lidia says as she closes the cupboard and finally removes her coat. She washes her hands and declares she’s making a pie for a treat. Only just realizing she had scored some apples. My mouth salivating just thinking about the rich pastry and the apples to which were not an everyday occurrence.
“Jamie while she does that let’s go check our traps and see if anything’s been caught.” Charlie says as she hold the door for me. I always looked forward to going through a track in the woods I love being surrounded by the forces lush green growth the sound of all the birds and animals chirping going about their business. I always loved nature and its beautiful wonders of course the beach in the ocean for the one things that I craved when I needed to be alone or destress. But I always felt welcomed in nature my aunts tell me it’s because were witches we are attached to the elements and therefore forever be in all of its wonder and greatness. Normally the only traps we sat out there for rabbits because we always had a large abundance of chickens that we raised ourselves. We had a couple of cows as well one for milking and giving us Calves. The cow to give birth would provide our milk all winter and as the female calves grew we would then prepare to kill the cow and begin the cycle all over again therefore providing us with an abundance of meat throughout our winter. for only three females on the wrong our lives were very self-sufficient and I love the feeling of strength that came with that. My aunts main goal in life was to teach me how to take care of myself and those around me. Being strong and independent was paramount to those two. We found two rabbits amongst our traps and we made the trek back home so we could clean them and have them prepped for canning. Thinking of Cain and his fishing made me remember that we soon will have to catch some fish as well for our winter we would salt them and dry them and they would keep throughout the winter and we use them for various things in meals.
“Soon time to gather fish as well.” Aunt Charlie says as if seeing my thoughts and I felt a pang of nervousness. She doesn’t look in my direction as she guts the hares and I’m grateful knowing my face may have given something away. I’ve never kept secrets but in all fairness I’ve not had one to keep. Until today as I feel the rock in my pocket. Why did I keep it as if it were like a gift. Sighing inwardly I sat while watching Charlie in concentration. It’s as if I were meant to find it and it felt special somehow.
“Yes the drying and salting process needs to be done soon now the days are hotter.” I reply to her. She grins at my agreement and rationale.
“Ok you too clean up suppers about finished.” Lidia calls to us from the kitchen window. We could already smell the apple pie baking and just as I get up my stomach growls and Charlie and I both laugh.
We eat and chat about the day, about what plans were in store for tomorrow and after all was cleaned up I took a nice hot bath. Lidia knitted while Charlie read and I just sat soaking listening to the fire crackling. I guarded my thoughts still in excited anticipation of bed so I could think freely about Cain. His face was never far from my mind thinking to myself about being able to paint him from only memory. Why did this man feel so special? A stranger felt so familiar and my heart soared. After my bath, letting my hair dry some I almost ran to my room upon bidding goodnight. I lay in bed now reminiscing my day, the welcomed chance encounter and him. I held my rock and then placed it under my pillow and dosed off much sooner than I’d like too.

“Hello?!” I called. I was in a very familiar room I was here before no doubt in my dream when I vision the man who wouldn’t turn but this time I didn’t get the eerie feeling of sadness through it and it felt warm and welcoming but there was no one here. I walked over to the mantle where the mirror was and the man stood in my last dream I turned and I look around but then I felt it. I felt more warmth radiating over my body I turned two holes on the mantle and as I looked up through the mirror I saw him this time it wasn’t a mystery man it was the man from the beach from earlier today. He just stands there looking no reaction and I’m thinking it’s going to be the same as before where I’m unable to interact with him and he hears nothing I say until he speaks.
“Hello.” He smiles. I notice he is holding back from saying what’s on his mind is it just me or are his eyes very readable? He takes a few steps forward all the while the smile never fades and for some reason I catch myself walking towards him like a mouth to a flame there’s no fear only familiarity.
“I’m dreaming.” I say as I slightly shake my head and giggle.
“well I appreciate you including me in your dream.” He says. We’re standing in front of each other now just looking at each other and taking in each others appearance I know I should be shy because I’m standing in front of a lit fireplace wearing very thin white nightgown and I know my shape or silhouette is showing through in shadow. He’s wearing a black robe I can see traces of hair on his chest but he standing so straight as if he’s scared to move as if he’s actually here and he’s terrified is going to end. Then I started to feel the panic of the stream suddenly ending no one can be judged for what they do in their dreams right? I don’t have to build up much courage before I take the final step are chest touching I reach for his cheek I stand on tippy toe and I peck him on the lips. All the while he doesn’t move until a back up from the kiss and it’s like he’s awoken from a trance. He wraps his arms around my waist and hauls me in tightly to him and before I know it he’s kissing me. This time it’s a different kind of kiss one with heavy breathing his tongue entering my mouth flicking mine to participate in our little tasting ritual all of our own. I feel one of his hands glide up my back until it reaches the nape of my neck and I feel my hair getting wrapped in his fingers as he tries to deepen the kiss. I am on as I finally give in and wrap my arms around his neck pulling him closer to me. His hands move so quickly before I realize it he’s holding on my thighs and I’m wrapping them around his hips. How is this all feeling so natural?
“You feel go good, you taste even better.” he says and he walks toward the bed. He lays me down in the centre of the bed never letting go him on top of me and I could never imagine anything feeling better than his weight above me. The butterflies start in my stomach my hands are craving to touch, my fingers are intertwined into his hair and he moans loudly into our kiss and I knew nothing of excitement like that. I needed to touch more, feel more so I skim and glide my hands to the opening of his robe and open it. He growls then and he shifts his weight from me and I couldn’t stop the whimper that escaped my lips. He removed his robe and came back to me and I’d never been more grateful. Why wasn’t I shy? This was suppose to be scary? But it’s a dream and I could do what I want without recourse. I glide my hands over his body earning sharp intakes of breath from him. Since it was a dream I could do all I wanted without repercussions right?
“I want you so much and I don’t know why.” I say this as he kisses my neck but my clothes feel restrictive and suffocating. I reach for the hem of my dress and try lifting it up. Luckily he knows what I desire and removes it the rest of the way while shifting his weight. Now I’m completely naked but not a care or worry to be found! I instinctively open my legs and except him to lay between them he still has undergarments on and I feel my impatience and actual hatred towards the small piece of clothing. I feel greedy and clutch the waste band trying to push it down and before I know it he has it done.
“You want but I feel need.” He says as he wraps his arms around me, mine are already around his neck while I shamelessly kiss his jaw line. I buck my hips when I feel the hard flesh of his man hood rub lightly against me. There couldn’t be gap’s between us. I was starving and needed every inch of him on me. I wanted us to be one. That contact spurred him further. He kissed me until I was breathless and my lungs slightly burned from lack of oxygen. He moved to my neck and slowly down to my breasts where he nibbled and licked my n*****s all while kneading them. He gently pumped himself on my already wet femininity. Nothing ever felt so good. He fanned kisses all over and before I realized he was licking my center. I should have been shy but I wasn’t. He was all I needed in this moment. I felt breathless under his delicious attack, his tongue lapping my slit as I pulled at his hair. No shame just pleasure and my release.
“Delicious.” Was all he said as he stuck his tongue inside me. I felt warm, but there was a build up that threatened to explode.
“c*m for me baby. Let it go, relax.” He said as he moved to lick and suck my slit while inserting his finger inside me and I swear I saw glitter go off behind my eye lids. The moans that were escaping me should have made me blush but I still needed more. He never stopped the motion of his finger in and out but he did move up to cover my mouth with his absorbing my cries if delight as he then joined his thumb on my c**t as he finger f****d me my legs were trying to close from all the sensitive sensations coursing through me but he shifted and moved back down to hold my legs open as he continued the assault with his mouth holding my legs open as I bucked and screamed in pleasure.
“Let go baby. Feel it and accept it.” And I was gone. I woke in my bed a panting ball of sweat. My whole body was hot and throbbing making me crave more but it ended too soon. I needed to cool off so I raced to the water and jumped in the cold water. I felt myself being watched but brushed it off because I knew there wouldn’t be a soul around this hour if the morning. After feeling sufficiently cooled off I exited the water and placed my gown back before sitting quietly looking at the sky. How would I look at Cain without feeling something. The real Cain not the dream one. I grew excited to see him again but also fearful that I’d mix reality with fantasy during our next encounter.
