Fire on the Mountain

     It was early morning, the sun was just breaking above the gentle slopes in the distance!  Fall was in the air, and a cascade of colors filled a panoramic view for as far as my eye's could see.  This land, so unfamiliar, yet so majestic, deserves pause and contemplation.  There are few things on this earth that give insight into our place in the universe such as the mountains do.   For you see, from a clear, unobstructed view, our minds can become a blank slate.  One in which our own interpretations of this life take on a fresh new outlook.  It has alway been this way, each and everytime, as if God himself deemed it so.  Th allure has no prerequisite, for it's mystique free's us from the burdens of our existence, and mandates that we are part of something greater !
    I speak of this because on this particular day, my mind had drifted far away, and the beauty and granduer of my surrondings, served only as some kind of misty backdrop, marking the boundry of what lay ahead.  It was happening again!  The fervor that flowed through my veins was driving my subconcious back to a place of serenity.  One that was decorated with a soft warm smile and hypnotic green eyes, that danced through my memories as if they owned me.  What I ask you, moves the universe more?  The beauty that is woman, or the delirium that is her affect on man.
    For one that follows his heart, she will always be within reach.  Time and distance have no meaning, and once within her domain, it remain as it always was, as all else dissovles into nothingness!
    I cannot begin to explain the mysterious equations involved in rendering a man completely helpless in his desire for a woman, save to say, that most never realize it's exsistence, much less understanding the path traveled in finding it.  I will tell you this, as if struck with an epiphany, a true Dragon will risk everything for it.   You see, of what I speak, seldom reaches fruition without nerve.  The periphery of love is littered with those who were afraid, those who did not recognize the moment when it was upon them, and those, who to their own detriment, chose not to .  Our mind provides us with the courage to do so, but the nerve to act upon it, can, and will, color your life with tales only imagined by most!  I say it, because I've lived it, and I know it to be true.

     It was September, and just becoming sweatshirt weather in the highlands.  The air was crisp, and clean, and sun's warmth was quickly being chased away by the shadow of the mountain.  Driving through the valley makes you wonder if this is a place where you could live, set down roots, and more importantly make a living.   Staring up at the magnificent homes hanging off the side of the mountain, gives me a feeling that I wouldn't belong, but then I remembered my reasons for being here.   The simplicity of my motives need not be embelished beyond anythin more than an Appalachian wildflower, blooming upwards in a sun drenched field of green.   God's beauty often lay just off the trail, in a rain soaked spiders web, nestled down among the ferns.  She is that way!  A creative, soulful creature.  One who's beauty needs no enhancement, one who's eyes I see in my dreams each night.  Just to hold her body next to mine, creates a yearning beyond words, and the sanity that I seek is defined by the warmth of her embrace!
     Turning off the main road, I began a slow winding ascent.  The road was paved but small.  The houses along the way followed no script in their design, nor age.  It was peaceful and serene, the one constant being, is that one mile equals five, and time slows to a methodical pace.   "As the crow flies" has no meaning and you are compelled to relax, for there is no domination of the landscape, only assimilation, and in so, a doorway to a different life.  As I reached the end of the pavement, nothing lay before me but the rock of the mountain.  It's path was deliberate and uncompromising, and I felt a strange sense of irony as my will to see her, and the trek to do so, morphed into the perfect definition of desire.  It is the reward for the ones who dare to try, and the price they pay to be so bold!
     Drawing ever closer, my mind began to drift, the intensity of anticipation rolled in like a storm.  I was nervous, my imagination flushed with possibilities.  She was, in every way, perfect, and thoughts of her sent tremors through my psyche!  The Dragon was awake, and every fiber of my being was on fire as I crested the ridge and gazed upon the rustic abode of her mountain hideaway.  She alone would dictate it's beginning, and I savored it like no other.  She was a drug, and my addiction was total.  No words are left to explain, and none should be.
     The backdrop was a soft breeze rustling through the trees, and the rhythmic rush of a clear mountain stream as it meandered it way down into the valley.   She was standing just off the porch, the gentle waves of her brown hair billowed around her face, partly coming to rest over her right eye.  She made no attempt to push it aside and the gaze from the other oozed with a wild abandoned that stoped me in my tracks!  Her skirt was light and airy, and the rays of the afternoon sun helped reveal a silhouette of toned muscle reaching up towards my destiny.  Drawing nearer, I was once again mesmerized by the pale green eyes that were riveted with an allure that spoke only of a heat that burned deep within her soul.  One that was reaching out for me, one that would set the Dragon aflame!
     Think back for a moment, to a time less complicated, to a feeling that energized your entire being.  Young love!  It never dies my friends, the feeling will always remain, but only for those who keep alive the burning sensation in their hearts that all our dreams can, and will, come true.  If only you believe!
     As I pulled her into my arms, my mind stepped back into a familiar place.  It was home, as safe and secure as any place I wanted to be.  As if order had been restored to the universe, I melted into her embrace, and the troubles of the world ceased to exist.  She was my hearts desire, and staring into her eyes, my thoughts were of how much I wanted to kiss her....so I did.   Softly, slowly, to relish in it, to literally taste her, and crave for more.  She was special, and every detail of our love would be etched in my memory, now and forever!  I paused for a moment just to  look at her, to gaze into her face, and see all the emotions that drove me to her, reflecting in her eyes.  She was everything I had searched for, and everything I needed.
     For so long, I had yearned to press her lips to mine, to hold her body close, and to breathe in all that she was.  Never before had a woman ignited such a passion in me, and as I looked into her eyes, I saw that she would let me decide the manner in which I would have her.  A peaceful serenity swept over me as I recognized the gravity of our coming together in this time and place.  If I never touched her again, these moments would resonate with us for the rest of our lives!  I would make sure of it, for she deserved no less.
     She was small in stature, a fiery woman, yet gentle and soft, with a smile that could light up the night.  Reaching down along the curves of her bottom, I cupped her left cheek and pulled her hips into mine.  There was no resistance, and she adjusted herself against me.  Looking up to meet my gaze, I slowly kissed her face over and over again, as she resigned herself completely to my will.  A raging animal was building within me, still my touch was soft and comforting as I slowly lifted her from the floor and into my arms.  She was the love of my life and I cradled her with all the strength within me.
     Running her fingers through my hair, she leaned in and began to kiss my neck, occasionally nipping at it, sending chills down my spine.  I cannot underscore how much of a turn on it is to a man, to have his lover hunger with such carnal instinct.  Was she a slave to my desire, or was it I who was a slave to hers?  Does beauty really tame the savage beast, or is something more?  Something in our blood, or in our hearts.  Are we kindred spirits, or is it just an unexplained attraction that must be addressed.  It is all of the above and more.  It traverses time and space, and in it's purest form, defies logic.  Does it matter?  None of it seemed to as I laid her gently down on the bed.   Looking down upon her, everything I saw in her eyes, I felt in my heart.  Her taste would linger on my lips for an eternity, as I began to disrobe her.
     She was fair skinned and freckled.  Her breasts were mouthfuls of succulent delight, and bottom was perfectly rounded and fleshy, as if stolen from my dreams!  I wanted it in my mouth and I wanted it now.  Moving around to the foot of the bed , I grabbed her legs and twisted one over the other until I had fipped her onto her stomach, and pulled her down towards me.  Reaching in around her thighs with both arms, I lifted her lower torso up and off the bed, guiding her bottom towards my mouth.  Her lips were plump, swollen with anticipation, and her creamy white cheeks spread wide longing for my tongue!  Like a starving animal, I devoured  her most private of delicasies, grinding my face into them.   Raising herself up with her arms, she let out a long deep groan as her legs began to tremble.    Releasing her from my grasp, and lowering her to the bed, she turned towards me, and with both hands, ripped open my shirt, breaking every button on the way down.
     I could see the fire in her eyes, and as I leaned in to kiss her, she raked her nails across the front of my chest, as if daring me to take it from her.  I removed the rest of my clothing and reached down around her waist and jerked her up off the bed and on to me.  She wrapped her legs tightly around me as I spun and pinned her body against the wall of the cabin.  I was rock hard and wanted inside her, but she resisted, and bit down on my lower lip, catching me by surprise, while sending a shock wave of pure animal lust  through my whole body!  My reaction was pure instinct, I whirled her around and threw her on to the bed , attempting to crawl on top of her, but her legs kept me at bay.  With all my strength, I grabbed them and swung them to one side, falling on top of her as I did.  She fought viciously, but I overpowered her and pinned her arms down on each side.  Her breasts were exposed to my desires and I nipped at them over and over again as I attempted to slide between her legs.  Still she fought, and the more she did, the hotter we both became!
     I eased my grip ever so slightly, and moved both her arms over her head and held them in place with my left hand.  As I  did, I slid my body off of her, resting on my knee's to her right.   Leaning down, I engulfed her left breast in my mouth, and placing my right hand just below it, and with my fingertips, I ever so gently, caressed them down her side, over her stomach and into the riches of her valley.  Her body moved with the motion of my hands and I began to play a masterpiece of love.  By now, our eyeswere transfixed upon each other, as a peaceful tranquillity surrounded us, and I moved up on to her again.  Her eyes were soft, and I was lost her their gaze......I want to make love to you, my voice barely audible.  She understood, but spoke not a word, as her eye's began to glisten.  Pressing her lips to mine, I kissed her deeply, longingly, and passionately.  She was warm and wet, and my timber was long and tall, and I  slid inside her effortlessly.  As if we were created for each other, I filled her completely, with nothing to spare.
     Gazing into her eyes, I engaged in a long slow rhythm,  one which magnified with each stroke.  There would be time for wild abandon, but for tonight, I would deliver tender loving care, and absorb the beauty that I held in my arms. 
    Soft whispers of passion soon eminated from her.  My excitment grew, my intentions became more deliberate, as her hip rose to meet mine.  Her moans became more audible as our bodies melted into one.  We move perfectly together.  Rising toward the pinnacle, she screamed and raked her nails down the length of my back!   Fuck me, fuck me hard....the words and the wounds set off an explosion inside me.   Grabbing her hair with my left hand and her ass with my right, I drove it home like she wanted, each of us sending the other into a blinding state of euphoria, as the orgasmic detonation left us spent completely!
    Sweat poured profusely from our bodies as we nestled in facing each other.  My only thoughts were of how much I loved making love to this woman.  And I kissed her repeatedly.  The salty taste of her body will be forever engrained in my senses and leaned in to suckle her breast.  
      Lifting my head, I found myself nose to nose with the "Fire on the Mountain", her pale green eyes were alive with joy, and they spoke to my heart.
     EverythingI believed was true.  Her reality was greater than anything I could have imagined, and I was at peace!

    Remember this my friends.  The chemcial makeup of our universe, dictates that in this life, there is someone out there that will drive you beyond your dreams.   You need only dare to believe it, for if you do, your pathway to the Mountain will be revealed! ...................So sayeth the Dragon !
