GRIZZLY MOUNTAIN

“Mom, it's just a summer job..."

My mom exhaled, "Billy, it's like you're hiding from life. No sports…."

"Mom you're the one who didn't want me playing rugby… "

Mom sighed, "Billy, I can't believe you don't have a girlfriend. Look at you, six foot tall, broad shoulders, good looks. You take after your father.”  She smiled, “He was a man's man.  A three star general, a true ladies man -- and a gentleman!"

"And look where that got him!" I caught my breath. “Mom .. dad was never around.  We were always moving… Mom it’s always just been you and me.  And then he left us!”

My mother covered her face with her hands. "Billy this is not another talk about you joining the military.  You could go to the University of your choice.  You had the grades.”

"Mom we don’t have that much money.  I don’t know what I’d want to major in.."

I saw pain in my mother's eyes suddenly replaced by fear. My mother gasped, "How old is he? How old is Sam?! You told me he goes to another school. Is he in college?"

"Sam's the same age as me, mom... S-Sam.. went to a private school..." My mom would never understand about the relationship between me and Sam.  I didn’t fully understand it myself..

"Well it's not normal for young men to spend all of their free time at the library.." My mom gave me a pained suspicious look, "What exactly is this job?"

"Sam's father was super rich, he bought a huge hunting lodge in Canada, and converted it into a mansion. I'll mainly just be mowing the lawns. The job title is 'groundskeeper'."

"And that's what you want to spend your summer doing?" She looked at me with suspicious disbelief. "How did this job come available? Don't they already have full time staff?"

"The groundskeeper got the maid pregnant."

My mom rolled her eyes, "That figures! What else is there to do up there? You and this Sam..."

I winced involuntarily, “Mom..”. I suspected that if I told her the truth about Sam she would not want me to go.

"I'd like to meet your friend Sam," my mom said, "but my flight leaves at seven tonight... Do you at least have a picture of him?"

"I don't.." I admitted honestly.

My mom exhaled, "I'm not going to be back until some time next month.." She studied me and her face softened. "If you stayed here, you'd be alone for most of the summer. Look... you're an adult. If you want to spend up summer with your friend than I suppose it's okay with me. Just promise me that you'll introduce me to him at the end of summer."

"I promise." I said honestly.

"And promise me you'll call."

"I promise." It felt good to have my mom's support, but I also felt a little guilty.

Sam was more than a best friend to me, much much more. Even though our relationship was slightly forbidden -- and I hardly knew her -- Sam felt like a soulmate. Sam had also lost a father. But she was only ten at the time.

Ruka ignored my question.  "People think it haunted." She grinned, "The native believe there energy in the rock, and many spirit. The original owner, he hire native crew. They perform ritual before build.  They perform ceremony for make safe for visitor.  But still fail.. It never open.." She shrugged her shoulders, "Many problem."

"Weird.. I wonder what the real story was.  Corruption? Greed? Bad management?” I suddenly felt sorry for Ruka.  She had spent so much time up there totally alone   “Is it spooky up there?

Ruka grinned broadly, "It no spooky, it no haunted. It very boring. It very beautiful, but it very boring.  There no ghost."

Ruka drove up a steep road that wound its way up a steep wooded mountain side. Red, purple, pink rhododendron flowers -- obviously planted -- were sprinkled between the tall evergreen trees on either side of the road. We broke out of the woods and a huge lawn stretched towards a magnificent lodge in the distance.

Ruka parked in front of the lodge and I suddenly realized that I was desperate to pee.
I removed my suitcases from the car and set them on a cart Ruka had waiting.

"You like car?” Ruka let her long shiny jet black hair down.  Good Lord she was a hottie!  I loved her curvy little hips. I loved the way her firm little breasts lifted the fabric -- and I loved the way the points of her erect nipples showed through!  “There many nice car in garage." Ruka pointed to four large swinging garage doors, big enough to pull a semi into. "Go see!"

I entered through a small unlocked door between two large garage doors. The garage was absolutely immaculate.  It was filled with vintage cars, a red Ferrari. a blue Maserati, a grey Lamborghini, a black Bugatti…”  The floor was surfaced with a light grey epoxy coating, and was absolutely dust free.  Maybe I was jealous, suddenly I had the urge to pee right there on the floor.

I glanced around nervously.  Ruka was undoubtedly busy taking my bags inside and there was not a soul around for miles...l took a breath and unzipped my pants.  The garage was absolutely quiet.  I could hear my own heart beat as i pulled my penis out.  Like my father I was well endowed -- but that never made it any easier to talk to girls..  My penis hardened as I aimed it at a pristine part of the floor… No! I could not do this.. What was I thinking?  I would have to come back and clean it up.  What if Ruka saw what I had done?!!  I tucked it back in my pants.  On the far side of the garage behind a white Cadillac was a half open door.  Yes it was a washroom!  I rushed inside and used the toilet.

Okay I wrote this story years ago.  I basically wrote a book.  But I had too many competing women in the original.  I think I figured out how to write it right.

"I promise." It felt good to have my mom's support, but I also felt a little guilty.

Sam was more than a best friend to me, much much more. Even though our relationship was slightly forbidden -- and I hardly knew her -- Sam felt like a soulmate. Sam had also lost a father. But she was only ten at the time.

-------------------------------------------

I was both anxious and excited as I  waited for an early morning flight.  I almost couldn’t believe I was doing it.  This wasn’t like hiding a porno magazine from my mom, or having 'cybersex' with some girl on the internet.  This was way worse!  Samantha had said that she might sneak up and visit towards the end of the summer when her mother and her stepfather took their annual Bora Bora.vacation.

Oh gawd I was actually going to spend some of the summer with Samantha -- maybe have sex?!!  Samantha, was one of the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.  She was tall -- at about five nine -- well endowed, had super long dirty blonde hair, and a curvy erotic hourglass figure.  And she wanted to become a nun...

It was an easy flight and I had no trouble spotting the maid who waited with a sign with my name on it. She was a young beautiful Japanese lady -- about my age. Her hair was jet black and tied up in a bun, and she wore a conservative blue business suit -- but she looked cute as hell in it!

She introduced herself as "Miss Ruka Ishimora". At least I think the last name was Ishimora, I was still nervous around pretty women, and a bit anxious and overly excited. Fortunately 'Ruka' was an easy name to remember or I would have immediately forgotten it.

"I temporary...like you." Ruka smiled politely, "Miss Jennifer get full-time groundskeeper and maid in spring." She studied me carefully, "My employer in Japan require that I no date or have boyfriend."

"The Japanese." I grinned broadly and suddenly realized I was being insulting.

"I have boyfriend in Japan. He very rich.  He want me virgin when marry."

Ruka gave me my job description, and showed me a picture of the lodge. It was unbelievable! Perched on the top of a huge rock face, with a waterfall off to one side, i felt dizzy just looking at it. And the timber frame lodge was equally spectacular.

"They truck in helicopter and take picture." Ruka explained vaguely.

"Why didn't they just fly it in?"

Ruka ignored my question.  "People think it haunted." She grinned, "The native believe there energy in the rock, and many spirit. The original owner, he hire native crew. They perform ritual before build.  They perform ceremony for make safe for visitor.  But still fail.. It never open.." She shrugged her shoulders, "Many problem."

"Weird.. I wonder what the real story was.  Corruption? Greed? Bad management?” I suddenly felt sorry for Ruka.  She had spent so much time up there totally alone   “Is it spooky up there?

Ruka grinned broadly, "It no spooky, it no haunted. It very boring. It very beautiful, but it very boring.  There no ghost."

-------------------------

“You have girlfriend at home?"  Ruka asked as she drove me in a beautiful old black Rolls Royce.

“No..” I tried to sound cool, “But I’m friends with Samantha. The daughter of the woman who owns this place.”

Ruka eyed me with an amused smile, “You want be Catholic Priest?”

“No!” I gasped, “Why would I want to be a Priest?”

Ruka smirked, “I hear Samantha want be nun.”

“Well she went to a Catholic school…” I felt myself flush slightly.  If I hadn’t have overheard Samantha and her friend talking about becoming nuns, I probably wouldn’t have had the courage to talk to them. “Where did you hear that?!”

“Half-sister of Samantha tell me.”

“Samantha has a half-sister?”

Ruka nodded, “Name Liz.  She daughter of realtor who sell Lodge.”

“Samantha’s father was a real stud.” I laughed,  “But I suppose being all alone together at the lodge….” I glanced nervously at Ruka. “Don’t worry about me!  I am not like that at all! I know you have a boyfriend!”

Ruka grinned broadly.  "You make me laugh. You very serious.. Don't worry.. You not that good looking. I can resist."

"Thanks.." I tried to shove aside the slightly hurt feeling.

Ruka drove up a steep road that wound its way up a steep wooded mountain side. Red, purple, pink rhododendron flowers -- obviously planted -- were sprinkled between the tall evergreen trees on either side of the road. We broke out of the woods and a huge lawn stretched towards a magnificent lodge in the distance.

Ruka parked in front of the lodge and I suddenly realized that I was desperate to pee.
I removed my suitcases from the car and set them on a cart Ruka had waiting.

"You like car?” Ruka let her long shiny jet black hair down.  Good Lord she was a hottie!  I loved her curvy little hips. I loved the way her firm little breasts lifted the fabric -- and I loved the way the points of her erect nipples showed through!  “There many nice car in garage." Ruka pointed to four large swinging garage doors, big enough to pull a semi into. "Go see!"

I entered through a small unlocked door between two large garage doors. The garage was absolutely immaculate.  It was filled with vintage cars, a red Ferrari. a blue Maserati, a grey Lamborghini, a black Bugatti…”  The floor was surfaced with a light grey epoxy coating, and was absolutely dust free.  Maybe I was jealous, suddenly I had the urge to pee right there on the floor.

I glanced around nervously.  Ruka was undoubtedly busy taking my bags inside and there was not a soul around for miles...l took a breath and unzipped my pants.  The garage was absolutely quiet.  I could hear my own heart beat as i pulled my penis out.  Like my father I was well endowed -- but that never made it any easier to talk to girls..  My penis hardened as I aimed it at a pristine part of the floor… No! I could not do this.. What was I thinking?  I would have to come back and clean it up.  What if Ruka saw what I had done?!!  I tucked it back in my pants.  On the far side of the garage behind a white Cadillac was a half open door.  Yes it was a washroom!  I rushed inside and used the toilet.

--------------

The huge wooden double entrance doors were beautifully carved with Native American stylized pictures of birds, fish, and various animals.  I pulled on the right door and it swung open with ease.  The cart holding my bags sat just inside.

"Wow!"  I gasped.. The ceiling was at least fifty feet high.  The great room was so immense it took me a while to take it all in.  Wide staircases on both sides of the entrance led up to balconies that framed the right and left side of the great room.  The chimneys of massive stone fireplaces on either side of the room extended up past the middle of each balcony.  And fifty foot -- floor to ceiling -- windows on the far side, flooded the room with light.   Huge antler horn chandeliers hung from the vaulted timber framed ceiling.   Groups of couches and comfortable chairs were placed in front of each fireplaces -- and huge flat panel televisions hung above each mantle. There were rustic tables made from sections of giant logs, and Craftsman style bookcases filled with books.  There was even a fully stocked bar that could seat twenty people or more. This wasn't a mansion -- it was a palace!

I made my way across the great room, through a spectacular dining room, and into a large commercial kitchen where I heard running water. Ruka was washing something at the sink.

Ruka smiled at me, "I get ready cook dinner. You like tour?"

"Sure!" I stepped up behind Ruka.  I wanted to cup her little breasts with my hands.  I felt myself growing hard.   "This kitchen is huge! You could fit my mom's entire house in here." I wanted to kiss Ruka on the cheek.   I wanted to reach down and feel between her legs...

"It unbelievable kitchen!" Ruka led me into the great room  “Registration place was there." She pointed, at some couches, grouped in front of bookcases. "It not change much -- same carpet, same furniture." she brought a hand close to my bulging crotch, "It custom.  Everything best!”

"Come I show you more." Ruka led me into a dining room that opened onto a patio that overlooked the cliff.  "This less formal dining room."

The view was both scary and spectacular. The waterfall was not as close as I'd thought, but still very impressive.

Ruka touched my back softly. "Liz say when river high, waterfall loud.  It make you feel high."

"It makes feel high right now!"  I wanted to set a hand on Ruka’s shoulder as I turned to face her. "Wow, it gives the lodge energy!"

"Come,"  Ruka grabbed my arm playfully and gave a tug, "I show you bedroom!"

Ruka eyed me with an amusement as she led me upstairs into a truly magnificent suite. "It over one thousand square feet!”

I gazed up at the lofty beams of the fifteen foot ceiling "It's like a house!" I set a hand on Ruka's shoulder.

Ruka giggled, “Mr Billy!” She slapped my hand. "Come see kitchen."

The kitchen was pretty big, with top of the line appliances, and granite countertops.  We lingered for a moment in the walk-in pantry.

Ruka pushed me back with both hands, “Come see bedroom!”   It was a large standard bedroom with a king sized bed. 

The bathroom was the best feature of the suite. It was huge!  The vanity had a row of two sinks and more than adequate counter space. The single toilet and bidet sat in a little 'closet’ -- separated by a door for privacy -- where there was a third sink.

"Wow, cool!" I laughed, "A hot tub right in the middle of the room." I sat down on the edge.

Ruka sat down next to me. "It not tub. It jacuzzi bath."

“Ah-ha!” I flinched as Ruka gave my swollen crotch a soft touch.

Ruka ran playfully into the living room.  She stopped in the center of the room,  undid her pants -- exposing black lacy panties -- grinned madly at me, and squatted.

“Ruka..” I croaked.

“I cook venison steak.”

“Venison?    Ahhh… let’s see…  A German Spatlese Riesling! This should pair should pair well with venison." I would never be a General in the Army.  I would never get killed in a freak accident, by 'friendly fire’ -- like my father -- but I knew my wine and beer!

Ruka led me into the barn, and up the stairs.

“This where old groundskeeper lived “ Ruka unlocked the door. “Take off shoe here”

Ruka led me through the apartment and out to a private deck that faced the woods.  I set the coolers on the outdoor table.

“First we eat, then hot tub!”. Ruka removed the cover and turned on the heat.  “I have swimsuit and towel for you.”  I was relieved to see that it was a traditional men's swimming suit, rather than a Speedo.

One cooler held bottled water, wine, glasses, plates, and silverware.  The other held the steaks,  vegetables, and a mix of colorful little potatoes.

“Ruka I uh...uh..I sort of owe you an apology for the way I acted.”

Ruka flushed, “I bad too..” She looked down as she prepared the table.  “Please no tell.”

“No no! I won’t.”  I poured a glass of wine for each of us.  “I will act better, I promise.”

“Thank you.. It lonely here.  It easy to think bad thing.”

I wanted to cuddle with Ruka in the hot tub, but we kept our space.

“Billy..” Ruka unbuttoned my shirt, “..you very attractive man.  You so tall and slim.” She gasped, “Ohh! They very sensitive.”

“Sorry..” I took my hands off of Ruka’s nipples. “I just want to do the right thing.” I kissed her on the lips as I undid her pants.

“Billy,” Ruka unzipped my jeans, “..you do it right.”

“Mmmm..” I kissed Ruka’s warm moist lips and began breathlessly pulling down her damp panties.

Ruka pulled her panties off completely and revealed thick black hair.  She got down on her knees, and pulled down my underwear.  “You so BIG!”  She stood back up and wrapped a hand around the shaft of my penis.  “Come I show you balcony.”

Sun filtered through the curtains that covered the far wall.  Ruka grabbed a remote and the curtains retracted, revealing a wall of sliding glass doors.

“Woah!” I almost took a step back,  “What a view!”.

Ruka pushed another button and the entire wall of sliding doors retracted.

“Woah this is crazy!" Our suite had been carved right out of the rock.  Our little balcony extended out over the rock face, and the lodge extended out above us.

"One of eight wonder of world!" Ruka laughed, “VERY private!”

To say that our balcony caused vertigo would be putting it mildly. The wrought iron railing was substantial but the waterfall and the cliff seemed very close and intimidating from this vantage point.

Ruka pointed down at the stream below, "You see bear?"

"Woah! There must be twenty bears fishing down there!"

"Many animal here." Ruka got down on her knees, wrapped a hand gently around the base of my penis and began licking. "Bear no  come up here."

“Why not?”

I awoke to Ruka’s heart beating softly against my chest.  She opened her eyes and smiled at me. “Sex hurt.. but it also feel so good!”

I cuddled Ruka’s warm soft body against my own. “I had no idea sex could feel so good.  That was unreal!”

"It experience that create life!" Ruka beamed.  "You want son or daughter?"

"I don't know.."

Ruka smiled at me, “We take shower!” She grabbed the remote.  A surprisingly heavy duty, screen door closed, followed by the drapes.  “It stay light outside late.  But it not safe at night -- many animal, many noises.. many things.”

The half open drapes fluttered in the cool morning breeze, and the roaring waterfall seemed to give the new day energy.

“Good morning Billy.“ Ruka stood next to the bed smiling down at me, her furry mound practically in my face, “Sleep well?” She bent down and kissed me softly on the cheek.

"Very well! Thank you.  But what was that about other people here?"

“They not here now.” Ruka headed into the closet.   She came out with a cute little French maid outfit. “They out when it dark.” She put on the skirt and blouse without a bra or panties.  “I go cook breakfast.” She headed for the door.  “You like waffle, sausage, bacon…. egg?”

“Yes, that sounds great!”   

A large book sat on the little end table next to the bed. The cover had a picture of a beautiful bottomless woman with a hairy vagina flanked by two bottomless men. The woman had ahold of their hard penises. The book was titled "THE BIG BOOK OF COCKS AND PUSSIES: The complete illustrated guide for grooming, and using."

I opened the book up and began flipping through the pages checking out the color photographs of shaven and hairy "pussies". "Wow Ruka where did you find this?"

"In library in great room. It have many book like this." Ruka raised her skirt "You like hairy pussy?"

"Very much!"

Ruka grinned ear-to-ear.

Ruka sat on my lap and cuddled with me as the crowded subway screamed down the tunnel.

"I go work early, and I work late." Ruka explained to me. "You wait me, okay?"

"Okay.." I wished I could go to work with her. Hanging around by myself in this big foriegn city was not something I wanted to do.

I awoke with my face in the middle of Ruka's long jet black hair.  Our faces rested on the steering wheel. The tractor was stopped and facing in a strange direction. We had mowed in a wild somewhat circular direction.

I pulled Ruka's hair out of my mouth, and brushed it carefully out of her face. Ruka's eyes opened slowly, she gave me a blissful smile. "Mmm.." she said.

"Mmm.." I agreed kissing her on the lips. We kissed, and kissed, and kissed.... and kissed, and hugged and rubbed and kissed... "I am so happy that you're still here with me."

"I happy too." Ruka nodded thoughtfully. "I no want to leave you for job."

We went back to mowing. The second orgasm almost sent us into the woods, and we awoke to find ourselves surrounded by a small puzzled herd of deer.

Ruka smiled. "I dream my boss angry after I quit job."

"I had the same dream." I smiled back at Ruka.

The third orgasm almost sent us into the barn.

"Three time in row!" Ruka grinned broadly. "I dream we back in apartment having fuck.  But I fear because I no make money."

I nodded.  "I was worried about the money too."

Ruka laughed. “Lunch time!  Enough work today.  We no get fire here.”

I make venison sandwich for lunch..” Ruka led me through the freezing cold cooler.  What a place for two naked people to go. “For dinner I cook duck “

“A good stout would pair well with duck..” I spotted a stack of Guinness Stout and grabbed a case.  I set the case down outside the freezer room as Ruka closed and latched the door.  “You wanna..?"

Ruka began giggling hysterically, “No no no Billy!!  Eat first,  shower, maybe jacuzzi bath.  Then have fuck, and take nap.”

“Okay..” I kissed her softly on the cheek.

“Here, drink beer.” Ruka held one out to me. “It help you see.” 

“Thank you Ruka!” I took it eagerly.

Ruka drank a beer herself as she set up dinner on one of the outdoor tables close to the railing.

The dinner was fantastic, and the beer buzz was as good as I’d ever experienced.

“Look!” Ruka pointed into the valley and handed me a pair of binoculars.

“Woah!” I seemed to catch a glimpse of a figure that disappeared under a tree.

“Billy, when dark there more.”

“People live in the valley?”

Ruka shook her head, “I call 'valley people’, but they not people.  Only see when drunk, and sometimes they disappear.”

“But Ruka… you said there were no ghosts here.”

“They not in lodge… they only in valley.”

As it became darker more and more figures appeared until they grew into a crowd.  They looked to be American Indians dressed in furs.  Some men, some women, some children…  They built a small bonfire and went to work cooking some sort of meat on sticks.

Ruka grabbed me by the arm. “We go in.  It dangerous in dark.”

"Ruka?" I rushed to catch up with her.  The door to the left of the beer room was wide open.  A rock tunnel led downward.  I felt my cock growing harder as I entered.  The tunnel had dim lights, and a handrail mounted on one side. The ceiling was very low in spots, and the floor was steep and uneven.

"Woah!" I emerged from the tunnel in a large lit cavern.  Ruka was busy spreading a blanket, on the floor, on the far end. Pictures of all sorts of animals -- including people -- engaged in sex, adorned the caves walls and ceiling. It reminded me of the old cave paintings I'd seen in books. 

Ruka walked over to me smiling.

"Ruka what is this place?"

"It entrance to Kokopalia." Ruka got down on her knees and began licking and sucking on my engorged cock and tight balls.

"Woah Ruka, don't bite!   What's Kokopalia?"

Ruka stood up, grabbed my hand, and led me to the blanket. "It home of many fertility spirit." She sat down on the blanket, leaned back and spread her legs.  I saw a half open door behind her but I didn't care.

My cock was so huge, engorged, and veiny that it literally hurt.  Ruka pussy was so wet that shewas creating a wet spot on the blanket.  She was literally shaking with anticipation -- and began feverishly thrusting her hips as I slid inside her.  It was blindingly passionate animalistic fucking that culminated in a searingly painful, and pleasurable, explosion -- followed by beautiful swirling colors.

I followed Ruka through the crowded outdoor market. 

A black Rolls Royce honked from across the street.  A Japanese man in an elegant black suit stepped out.  He gave Ruka and me an intense stare, and folded his arms.  A woman in a long bright red dress climbed out of the car behind the man and glared at us.

Ruka pulled her right lower eyelid down with her pinky finger and stuck her tongue out at the woman.  The woman responded with a thumbs down gesture -- which Ruka mimicked.

"I no like my step mother." Ruka said under her breath. "We go -- NOW!" She tugged violently at my arm.

Ruka studied the talisman on the side of the barn as I fueled the van.  "First I want eat breakfast at restaurant, then we buy new clothes, then we can pick up the packages at the airport."

"Sounds like a plan."
