In my role as an engineer with a strong interest in drone technologies, I sometimes get to go to interesting places. A recent one was the Royal Lebombo National Park in Eswatini (used to be called Swaziland), a small country embedded in South Africa and bordered by Mozambique. I was there to test some AI that I had developed and embedded in one of our rhino-monitoring drones.
I arrived at RLNP in the late afternoon, where I was to be met by a ranger named Funani, but he apparently had taken ill, so according to the WhatsApp I received while driving, I was going to be met instead by a very bright young trainee ranger named Lerato. She met me at the gate, and I have to admit that not staring at her was probably the most difficult thing I have ever done. She had to be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in person in all of the sixty-seven countries I have visited.
She was tall, a perfect ebony model shape, with long natural dreadlocks.
“Stefano,” I said, shaking her offered hand.
“Lerato,” she replied, an incredible smile lighting up her face and brightening her large dark eyes.
“I guess you know I am here to test some drones,” I said.
“Yes, we will do that tomorrow,” she replied. “I have been asked to help you get settled and then take you for supper.”
“Oh, I am lucky,” I blurted. “Sorry, I mean, it is nice to meet you.”
“Thank you,” she said, smiling at my gaffe.
“So they said you are new here,” I said. “How did you come to work here?”
“I have done a masters in wildlife biology in Johannesburg, and I wanted to come home and apply what I learned,” she replied. “I had studied your drone work, and I was so happy to volunteer when Funani came down with the flu.”
The conversation went on like that while she took me to the guest cottage and helped me get settled. She left me then, saying she’d be back to get me for supper in about half an hour.
I watched her leave, and I was totally smitten. She was not only beautiful, she was smart, nice, and dedicated to her work. I would have to be careful, I would not want to be seen looking or acting inappropriately.
I took a shower and changed clothes after the drive. I had just finished getting ready when Lerato returned. She had gotten out of her ranger uniform and was wearing the cutest bluish-grey dress that emphasized her form, and her lovely breasts that seemed not to be constrained in a bra. I smiled from my head to my toes.
“We are going to eat at the tourist restaurant,” she said. “I have been given a budget.”
We walked down the hill, among some beautiful old trees that included a sausage tree covered in the strange sausage fruit.
“One of my favourite trees,” I said.
“They have beautiful flowers,” she said. “Pollinated by fruit bats.”
We entered the restaurant and were seated at a nice outside table with a view of the sky, orange from the recent sunset.
We made small talk, talked about poaching and the challenges it brought, discussed drones and how AI might be brought to bear on the monitoring problem. Lerato was very knowledgeable about drones, and she even impressed me by discussing the difficulty of having enough data to properly train the AI.
We had a lovely meal, and the conversation turned to our personal lives.
At one point she asked me if I was married, and I told her that I was for a while, but was not anymore.
“How about you?” I asked.
“I am not good with relationships,” she said.
“But you are so beautiful, nice, and smart,” I said. “You could pick and choose.”
“Maybe I don’t want one. I take care of myself fine,” she said, a blush crossing her eyes.
It hit me what she said, and I tingled from head to toe. I am sure that flashed over my eyes too, and she smiled knowing full well that I got her meaning.
“I suppose that applies to both of us then,” I said, feeling more tingles and a flash of warmth.
“Nothing wrong with that,” she said. “Who knows us better than we do?”
Another flash crossed her eyes, and I could feel her tingles in my own body. I could not believe that this amazing woman was flirting with me.
“Since we both know what we are talking about here, do you like erotic stories?” I asked.
“Oh my, you just discovered my weakness,” she said, smiling, her eyes showing another flash of tingles. “I absolutely adore well-written erotica.”
“Oh wow, that is amazing,” I said. “I love writing them, and I have probably written around 200 over the years.”
“That is incredible,” she said. “I never met someone who actually wrote them before.”
“Maybe sometime you can read one for me,” she said, her eyes wet from the flashes of arousal.
“I believe that I would like that too,” I said. “They are on the laptop that I have here, actually.”
“Please,” she said, smiling with such delightful intensity. “After supper!”
“I like you,” I said. “I love your attitude to everything.”
“I could say the same,” she said. “It is not what I expected to be discussing tonight, but I like it.”
“Me too,” I said. “Conversations that generate happiness are the best conversations.”
“Actually, I have never had such a conversation with a guy before,” she replied. “Most guys don’t have the level of sophistication it takes to get a woman to open up.”
“Wow, thanks,” I responded. “How about with a woman?”
Lerato blushed so much that her skin darkened and her eyes grew even more moist.
“Yes,” she squeaked shyly.
“That is lovely,” I said, smiling encouragingly. “Most of my friends in life have been women, and sometimes they trust me enough for those conversations that they normally share among themselves. I have always enjoyed them, and so have they. And, of course, I have legitimate material to add to my stories.”
“Oh, so you understand,” Lerato replied, relaxing a little.
“So what is your favourite story type?” I asked. “I mean, what gets you the most wet and aroused?”
There, I said it and blushed red all over.
“Haha, you are also a bit shy,” responded Lorato. “Hm, I like stories with emotion, not just descriptions of sex.”
“Then you will like mine,” I said. “I love building emotions into my stories, love and respect, and creating shared feelings.”
“Sounds like I would,” she replied. “Then, I like stories where the woman is feeling pleasure, and if there is love in it then I like it even more.”
“Oh wow,” I said as waves of arousal and a powerful emotion washed over me.
“I think I am most addicted to well-written stories of two women together, or in threesomes with a guy,” she said, blushing more and smiling.
By then I was aching, and my cock was throbbing. I could have kissed her if it would not be disrespectful in that context.
“That is so hot,” I said. “Have you ever been with another woman?”
“No,” she said, pouting a little. “I want to, though. I just don’t know how to make it happen.”
“To me, that would be perfection,” I said. “I hope you are feeling the same things I am. I love this conversation.”
“Yeah, probably I am,” she said. “I might have a wet spot on the back of my dress.”
Lerato looked down after saying that like she was very embarrassed and didn’t want to meet my eyes. I reached across and gently lifted her chin with my hand. She looked into my eyes and almost looked like she was going to cry.
“Sorry, I have never had a conversation like this, or allowed myself to feel like this with a guy before,” she said softly. “It’s a little scary, but I like it, maybe too much since I hardly know you.”
As she said that, I was overcome with the most intense feelings of love, and a strong desire to respect and protect her.
“I will never disrespect you, and you will never find anything less than love in anything I say or do,” I said. “I really appreciate this conversation, and I recognise it for the incredible privilege that it is.”
“Thank you,” she replied and sniffled a bit. “For some reason, I feel comfortable expressing myself with you. I like it a lot.”
“Yeah, I feel the same, and I also like it a lot,” I said. “It is a rare thing for two people to meet on the same emotional and intellectual wavelength and feel what we both are feeling right now.”
“Yes,” she replied. “Let’s cherish it.”
“Indeed,” I said.
As the meal had ended, we ordered tea for Lerato and decaffeinated coffee for me. Neither of us wanted to break the connection or end the delightful conversation.
“Going back to earlier,” said Lorato. “I am soaking wet, my panties are drenched, and I am aching from head to toe. It feels so good, Stefano. It is new for me to share this, but you make it feel natural and good.”
“It is natural and good,” I said. “And as long as we are confessing, my cock is hard, and throbbing, leaking precum probably right through my jeans, and I am aching with you. I am also feeling a deep emotional connection with you.”
“Yes,” she said. “I feel that connection too. I know it is just for maybe a couple of days, but it feels so right.”
“So would you like me to read you one of my FFM threesome stories?” I asked.
“Oh, more than anything in the world,” she replied. “Let me sign and we can go.”
I left a 100 lilangeni note on the table as a tip, and we got up to leave. If anyone was looking, they would surely see the glow we both exuded as we left the restaurant.
“Do you like kissing?” I asked as we walked back to my chalet.
“Maybe,” she said. “If the person is a good kisser, but most guys don’t know how to kiss nicely.”
As we walked onto the veranda of the chalet, I had to ask, “Would you allow me to kiss you now?”
“Yes,” she gasped as another wave of tingles passed over both of us.
I turned towards her and pulled her close, gently holding the back of her neck as our lips met. The feeling was so intense, and a warm glow quickly arose from the pure sensuality of kissing Lerato with our bodies so close together. As I held her in the small of her back, our tongues explored, and I heard a soft sigh that came out through her nose. She relaxed against me, and we just disappeared into the sensations and the wonderful emotional bond we shared.
