Lake of Fire

                                                                                          
At last I have some time to my self. Working two jobs and trying to make the company of my own grow is stressful enough, without all the hassle I receive from the staff. Oh well at least I can go to the cabin for a rest . This weekend is what I have been waiting for. Its been six months since I was here last. I had a great time on the lake fishing. Solitude, that is a great comfort to me since I lost.... Well enough of that. 

As I pull in the drive I notice the cabin door is ajar. Dam, I hope someone hasn't trashed the place. I went to great pains to build that library and fireplace. Going in I smell something cooking. Outraged that someone would just take over the place, I burst in the door looking for a fight. What I found was ..... Not what I expected.

 Sitting in front of the fireplace in my library was a young woman dressed in nothing but a towel around her, and her head. I stopped in my tracks , gaping at the most lovely woman I had ever seen.
with a screech she dove behind the couch leaving a towel behind. Bravely she peered over the couch pointing a finger, and told me GET OUT GET OUT my husband will be back any moment, and kick you out. It was funny to hear her say that, after all, I owned the cabin, and all fifty acres to the lake. Now hold on girl I own this cabin, and as far as I can see your trespassers, and I should throw you out. She pulled back her hand and said you wouldn't dare, would you? Well..... That depends, are you a good cook? What's that got to do with it ? Nothing , just wanted to know if you could cook. Something sure smells good , and I hoped you had cooked enough for two or should I say three . When your husband gets back we will talk. She had a look of despair in her eyes, I don't have a husband. I only said that to scare you into leaving.

 Well then, it will be just us for dinner .She gave me a frightened look. Don't worry I wont bite. Oh by the way, I think you may need this holding up the towel she dropped. Sparks came from her eyes as I laughed tossing it to her. Get dressed then we can eat and you can explain to me why you are in my cabin. As I turned my back to go into the other room, the mirror in the hall shown her standing and wrapping her self. She was about five foot tall flawless light skin with perfect breasts, and long coal black straight hair. Just the thing to ruin my weekend solitude I mused.

We sat across the table eating in silence. Then she said, I suppose you will be wanting me to leave when we are done. Well yes, however, you can not leave tonight. Their are wolves in the woods at night, so you can leave in the morning. You take the bed ill have the couch, all your clothes are in the bedroom no, sense in moving things twice. Till then you can tell me how you came to be here and for how long.

She became a bit more at ease, and poured out her story to me. As she talked, I only half listened. As I studied her more closely, I could see she was of Asian descent with long flowing shining black hair. Her eyes were dark as night, as though you were looking into a deep shimmering pool of water. Her lips thin, but still very full. Her breasts, not overly large but very firm. I could see her nipples very erect from the cool night air. When suddenly, she stopped talking. She had noticed my gaze fixed on her nipples. Crossing her arms she asked in a bitter tone, should I continue? Yes... Yes by all means I am sorry you are just so lovely I forgot myself it has been to many years since I have sat and eaten, with a beautiful woman who is not trying to get my money or favor. You conceded bastard! Wait a minute, I'M sorry, it seems that no one listens to me any more, and here I have done that to you. Please continue, I never meant to make you feel uneasy.

As she spoke my mind drifted to another time. Japan 1968 did my tour of Nam. Cooling off they called it, getting ready to go stateside. Asian women are so lovely in Japan, you can forget all your cares when one puts her mind on only you.
As she spoke you could tell the sadness in her voice. She seemed not to have anyone or any place to go. Great, I thought my weekend was shot to hell. No private time to myself I mused. One thing for sure, she was a great cook. As I was eating, I noticed she had several bruises on her arms and shoulders. When I asked her about them her response was tears. She said, her boyfriend had caught her, and beat her for leaving Then, he tied her up and drove her into the deep woods,and then dumped her out still tied up. She finally got loose after about five hours, and found my cabin after wondering the woods for two days. Have you ever felt like just the biggest ass in the world? Man, did I ever. She just kept crying. As I went around the counter I took her in my arms, and just let her cry. 

Dam me for being so soft hearted, what will I do now ? I cant very well just kick her out , but I need my time to myself to think. Oh, what the hell, I will let her stay. My weekend was shot anyway.
As I held her in my arms, the heat of her body next to mine was very intoxicating. A man could get lost in her intoxicating warmth. She put her arms around me and thanked me for letting her stay the night. Don't worry I said just get a good nights sleep and we will talk in the morning if you want, and by the way, I have my question answered. What question is that she asked? I cupped her chin and said, well for one thing your a great cook . She smiled and hugged me even harder.

With supper over she headed for the bedroom, and I heard the shower start. With all the tears from her crying, I guess she needed to cool off. I know I did! The heat of her next to me had my blood pumping so hard I almost lost control. Well,enough of that. As I went into the living room, I could see she had put away books I had left open around the room. As I sat down in my large wing back chair to relax and read, I thought maybe a fire will help take the chill off, and help me to relax. It gets chilled at night even in the late summer. I went outside and got some red oak. 

God I just love the woods. The smell of new growth is so crisp yet soft and gentle. Kind of like that of..... How do you describe beauty, elegance, purity? When I got back in, she was sitting curled up in my chair where I first saw her. She was sipping on a cup of coco. As I came in to the room she turned, and said, I made enough for two, would you like some? I raised a eyebrow at her. She said, its the least I can do. Yes thank you. 

As she went to the kitchen, I knelt down to place, and light the fire. A little tinder goes a long way on this oak as dry as I keep it. Her next question floored me. Why are you so different? Excuse me? Well, she said, I broke into your home, and your still nice to me, and we don't even know each others names. I laughed, pardon my lack of pleasantly my dear lady. My name is Frederick in the book of names it means peaceful king. And you my lady are,? She looked at me and shook her head laughing. That, is quite possibly the best introduction I have ever heard. My name is kaiko . But everyone calls me kai . Well, what do you like to be called? A little silkworm or silk? You know Japanese? Very little but enough to order dinner. She hung her head saying you may call me what you wish. 

Well lets see what would fit you. How about, trouble? See gave me a hard look as I laughed. No, I know a name that suits you very well how about this kirei batahhae. She looked at me and asked with large deep dark eyes why? Well for one thing you are very beautiful, and when you hugged me in the kitchen you were as soft as butter. She looked at me with a hint of rebellion in her eyes. Ah... Ah... let me finish. Also, when I first came in the door surprising you, you moved like you were flying to get behind the sofa. So yes, I think beautiful butterfly suits you very well. Well thank you, that is the most lovely thing anyone has said to me in my life. Or, as I said, I could call you trouble. She laughed and said as you please Frederick. Please, call me Fred, batah. OK ..Fred I would love to be called butterfly. With that I picked up my coco, and sat in my wing back chair.

We talked for what seemed like hours, as the evening cooled down. She was amazing to listen to. Very smart and beautiful, a combination I had tried to avoid. But somehow she was different. Not prying or questing for anything , just honesty. Man, that's a trait I haven't found in a long time in anyone. As she finely said good night, I found myself wanting to know more about her. Sweet dreams, she said as she left the room.

I leaned back in my chair to read but could only think of her. How could she have such a effect on me? As I stared at the fire burning low, I envisioned her as I first saw her towelless flying for cover. As I mused over that thought, I dozed of with pleasant dreams indeed.

As I awoke, I thought I smelled breakfast cooking. I looked down on my lap, and found I was covered with a blanket, my shoes off, and the fire still burning. This woman, whomever she is, is a woman of strength, as well as beauty. To bad I have to send her away this morning. Well I did promise myself not to get involved again. I cant take the chance of losing again. It is too much.
As I went to get up, she came into the room. Good, your awake. Are you hungry? Yes, very much so. Well, I found some pancake mix, veggies, and canned bacon in the cupboard. So come on, let's eat. You sit here while I serve. As she buzzed around, I watched how graceful, and smooth she moved. I found myself wondering just why, I was sending her away. She was articulate, lovely, smart, great cook, and very loving. Even though I was a bit rude to her at first, and going to send her away this morning, she was still kind to me. How in my right mind could I send her away?

As we sat together eating, we talked more of each other and our lives. Pleasant, very pleasant I thought to myself. As we finished, she got up and said, I will do the plates up then you can take me back to the nearest town. Do you have a place to stay? No, she said. But I... Stop for a second, I said. Look, you don't have a place to go and.... Well, truth be told I like your company. And I... Well I would like you to stay. But only if you want to. I would like that very much, she replied.

We spent the day fishing and boating on the lake. Being with her, made me feel as though my life was complete again. In the afternoon, we went back to the cabin. As we walked, she said, I have had a wonderful day, thank you Frederick. Please, call me Fred. OK, then call me silk, for lack of a better name. Silk will be fine. 

When we reached the cabin, she said I will cook us supper. OK, ill get cleaned up. We sat, and talked as the sun set over the lake. She was looking out the window, and said, the lake looks like it's on fire from the sunset. That is why it's called fire lake, I said. Fred? Yes? Will you... Never mind I just. What is it, silk. As I walked to her, and could see a tear forming in her eye. I put my hand on her shoulder, and asked what's wrong? She put her arms around me as she started to cry. I lifted up her chin. As I looked into her eyes, I said don't cry silk. Then, I kissed her. A long warm passionate kiss. She responded,as though she was starved for love. As she melted into my arms, her body began to heat up like fire. I was trying to keep control of myself, but I could not help but get lost in her arms. She slowly pulled away took my hand and led me to the bedroom. She sat me on the bed then stood in front of me and slowly undressed. Then she undressed me saying I want to make love to you. My body was responding to her as a fire fanned by the winds of the desert . Her hair was so soft, her breasts like soft velvet pillows. Her skin was smooth as new silk. When I we joined she shuddered as though the earth was about to explode. Tightening herself around me, we became as one. As though each new the others need, matching movements we made passionate love for several hours. Till when at last, we were both to exhausted to continue, we finally had to stop for a while.
After resting, we showered together exploring each others body's again till the water started to turn cool. As she became cool her breasts became firmer, and erect. She was getting us both aroused again. So much for my weekend. I think I will take a few more days off. Well... maybe the whole week.
