HAWK
TWO MONTHS EARLIER…
I finally made it happen. The mountain cabin I always dreamed of owning is finally mine.
Sure, with all my money, I could have just built a brand-new modern home on any of the tens of thousands of acres I now own, but where would be the fun in that? The fun is in the restoration–working with your hands. And I can’t wait to get started.
But right now, I’m just going for a walk in the woods–a hike, as people living around here like to call it. To me, it’s just trudging through the woods to get some good exercise. I don’t have any fancy backpacks or a trendy thermos with a UV-light cleaner, or a phone with me to take adorable selfies that I can post on Instagram.
All I have with me are my trusty leather boots, my jeans, and a good sense of direction that won’t allow me to get lost.
I fill my lungs with the clean spring air and set off, walking quickly down the slope, filled with energy and vigor for the day ahead.
The land with the cabin I purchased abuts a nature preserve where people love to hike, but I’m far enough from it that I doubt I’ll be running into anybody. They’d have to be some real serious hikers and not worried at all about leaving their precious trails that let them know where to go next.
But after walking for a few minutes, I hear what sounds like female voices coming from the west. They sound raised, concerned, so I alter my course in that direction. Who knows, maybe someone is in trouble, and if I can lend a hand, why shouldn’t I?
Sure enough, a couple minutes later, I spot two girls–teens by the look of them–looking down at a paper map. One of them brunette and the other is a blonde. Even from here, I can see that the brunette is gorgeous. She’s lithe in her movements, with long legs and a sculpted ass that instantly draws my eye.
The blonde is slightly shorter, and while also pretty, is nothing compared to her friend.
The brunette has me entranced. Even from this distance, I feel like I’ve stumbled upon a sensual goddess who likes to hike but also likes company and doesn’t want to be alone, so she brought a human friend with her.
As I move closer, I can see they’re arguing with each other, pointing to the map, frustrated looks on their faces.
Yep. They’re lost.
After some arguing, the blonde, clearly frustrated, drops her pack and plunks herself down in the brush. Her friend, the brunette goddess, is also clearly upset, but in much better control of herself as she takes off her bag and sits down.
I watch them from the cover of the trees, my heart pounding heavily in my ears with nothing but the sounds of the forest as the two girls sit in silence.
What are they doing way up here?
I bet they’d be shocked to realize they’ve walked onto my land and are no longer within the bounds of the preserve where they began.
The brunette stretches her arms over her head, causing her jacket and shirt to lift up just high enough to show me some skin. Her belly is soft and flat and her waist thin. I’m already picturing her naked as my cock begins to swell beneath my pants.
I need to get closer…
Carefully, quietly, I creep toward the two girls, making sure not to make any noise or be seen by either of them. Presently, I’m able to actually make out what they’re saying to each other.
“You know what we need?” the brunette says.
“What?” the blonde replies.
“A big man to rescue us.” The brunette laughs, but the blonde just scowls. “Seriously! Would Todd have ever wandered off the trails and gotten lost like this?”
“Todd?” the blonde scoffs. “Let me tell you something about Todd…” Her voice fades off, and she shakes her head. “Never mind.”
But her friend isn’t having any of that. She presses her. “Anna! What were you about to say?”
So the blonde’s name is Anna…
“Penelope, would you stop!?” she replies. She has an angry look on her face, but she’s clearly holding back a laugh.
And the brunette goddess, the gorgeous one, her name is Penelope.
The name cements itself into my mind.
I shouldn’t be sitting here peering out at them through the woods like some kind of stalker, but I can’t help myself. It’s as though there’s some kind of invisible force pulling me toward Penelope. I’m entranced by her beauty. I guess it’s similar to how people feel when they go to a museum and stare at a beautiful painting.
I simply cannot take my eyes off this perfect female specimen.
“Okay,” Anna says, leaning in. “But you cannot tell Todd I told you this, okay? Or anyone else for that matter!”
“I swear,” Penelope replies.
“Okay.” Anna takes a deep breath and looks around as though someone might hear them.
“Relax, Anna. Who’s gonna hear you out here?”
Anna smiles and nods. “True.”
Oh, you na?ve girls. If you only knew.
“So spill it!”
“Okay,” Anna says, taking a deep breath. “Todd asked me if I would peg him last night.”
I have to bite the inside of my mouth to keep myself from laughing. Penelope’s jaw drops, but she quickly recovers, clearly trying to not embarrass her friend.
“Peg him? You mean like…with a strap-on?”
Anna leans into her palms. “Yep. He told me that lots of men are into it because of the prostate stimulation thing? But I dunno if I can do it…”
“Yeah, it’s kind of dominant.”
“Right?” Anna sounds exasperated. “I think I might have to break up with him.”
“No, no. Don’t break up with him!” Penelope protests. “People are into all kinds of… things . And just because you might not be into it too doesn’t mean you have to end your whole relationship.”
I’m trying my best not to laugh as I continue to listen in on this incredible conversation.
“Is that right?” Anna replies, suddenly intrigued. “So what kind of things are you into, Penelope? Miss Innocent.”
Penelope stretches again, but this time she leans forward and exposes her lower back and the strings of her thong.
I feel a hot pulse of lust between my legs.
Christ, it’s like she knows I’m here and is intentionally tempting me to move in on her.
“All right, I’ll tell you,” she says to Anna. “But you have to promise–”
“I won’t ever tell anyone, I promise. Go.”
Oh, Penelope. What are you about to reveal?
“I have a few fantasies,” she says slowly. “But my biggest one would be getting chased through the woods by a masked man.”
“What?!” Anna gasps.
“I’m running and running, but he’s bigger and faster than I am, so he catches me, and then…well, you know the rest.”
Penelope shrugs, obviously slightly embarrassed.
There’s no need to be, darling.
Anna’s mouth is wide open as she looks back at her. “Wow, that is wild!”
“I know, right?” Penelope giggles. “I guess there’s something so hot about…feeling like a prey animal.”
Anna laughs and points. “And all this coming from a virgin.”
A virgin?
My pants tighten when I hear that.
This gorgeous little minx in front of me is a virgin? How could she be with that beautiful body of hers? She must have men from all over trying to get their hands on her. And so many girls these days have no issue just giving it away to any asshole guy who hasn’t even worked for it.
Maybe Penelope is different and rightly understands the sanctity of her purity and knows that she deserves a man who is in it for the long haul and will actually stick by her and take care of her.
Someone like me.
Unable to contain myself any longer, I step out from my cover and walk toward the girls. They both hear me immediately and leap to their feet, frightened.
“Don’t worry!” I quickly reassure them, holding my hands out peacefully. “I’m not here to hurt you. My name’s Hawk. I was out walking and I just couldn’t help but notice you two girls seem lost.”
Anna looks over at Penelope quickly then shakes her head at me.
“Uh, nope. We’re fine, thank you!”
I smile. “Come on, you don’t have to lie to me. If that were true, you wouldn’t have strayed off the land reserved for hiking. I hate to tell you, but you two are way off track.”
This only seems to worry them further, so I take a few steps back and pretend to turn around.
“Hey, I can just continue my walk if you’d like and leave you two alone. Or you could follow me, and I could lead you back down the mountain. I assume you parked at the lot everybody uses?”
“Thanks, but you could be a serial killer,” Anna replies. “No offense.”
“The Tree Saw Killer?” I suggest with a chuckle. “Listen, I’m just a guy. If you follow me, I’ll take you back down to your cars. I’ll walk ahead of you if that makes you more comfortable.”
The girls exchange glances, communicating to each other with their eyes.
Penelope is so sexy. She could be a model for a company selling hiking gear to women, and their sales would skyrocket.
“Okay,” Penelope finally says with a nod. “Just tell me one thing. And be honest!”
“What’s that?”
“Did you hear what we were talking about right before you came out of the woods?”
She’s blushing, which only makes her that much cuter.
Oh, Penelope. Don’t be ashamed of your fantasies. We all have them.
“Nope,” I lie, shaking my head. “I didn’t hear anything.”
