Katarina was one of those things that just happen. This is not the story to read if you want a quick jerk off story, this is a paced and painstakingly narrated story, if you want to really know the characters before they have sex, read on!
I have a friend who is into offroad driving in a big way; he has his own offroad-racing vehicle, which is based on a short wheelbase Landrover and he asked me to navigate for him at a national event he was going to with his club. Iām a pretty experienced navigator, I know my way round a set of pace notes from co-driving a national tarmac rally championship car, but this was going to be my first off road competition, it was going to be a challenge as you get bashed around a lot.
We met up with a few members of the club first thing in the morning and drove up as a convoy, the idea being to meet the remaining few there as they were on their way there from an event the previous week.
Scrutineering, the process of checking each vehicle for adherence to the rules was on Friday afternoon and we arrived just as it was starting and we were able to drive the competition vehicle straight out of the trailer and straight in to scrutineering. We had spent the best part of the previous week preparing the vehicle so it was no surprise it passed with flying colours and we could get the mobile workshop set up, and the tents erected.
I was just about to put the finishing touches to my tent when I was interrupted by one of the club guys yelling
ā Rob and Katarina are hereā
My ears pricked up; I thought this was going to be a āboys weekendā, no one had mentioned Katarina coming. The arrival of a girl had added a new dimension of interest. I made my way over to the vehicle that had just pulled up. I knew Rob was doing the off road circuit big time this year, Rob had taken a sabbatical from his job as an IT security expert for a big banking corporation, who also sponsored him, but I thought Katarina was holding the fort at home, not joining in as well!
Let me just explain why this is such a big deal; Katarina was a spoken about a great deal within the club, Iād never met her, but other girls spoke about her with a mixture of jealousy and awe and the guys just plain lusted after her. Two things about her seemed to fuel the legend; her incredible beauty and her ice-maiden like attitude to proposals! Anyone who knows me will tell you that I like a challenge, and from the talk within the club I was going to struggle to get a kiss from this beautiful ice maiden.
I wandered over to see what all the fuss was about, but it didnāt take long before I noticed Katarina, the rumours were not wrong, she was stunning!
The world kind of fell away as I just leant against the Landrover they had arrived in and watched her. She was about 5ā5ā and ash blonde with a slightly elongated heart shaped face; she was wearing a Musto thermal roll-neck which was not doing anything to disguise the fact that she was absolutely stacked, if I had to guess I would have put her chest at about a 34d or e, she was busty, but everything was obviously exactly where it should be, there was no hint of sag at all! Following her figure down she had curves to die for; perfectly proportioned hips, and a board flat stomach, she had to work out! She was wearing a pair of tight skiing salopettes ā practical given the muddy field, and a pair of walking boots. The salopettes accentuated her curves and showed off her ass to great effect, it was possibly the most perfect ass Iāve ever seen and I knew then I had to get hold of it somehow, even if it meant a drunken grope and getting a slap!
My friend came and found me, and noticed my far away expression;
āShe has that effect on everyone, youāll get over it ā let me introduce you.ā
I walked across to her in a bit of a daze. I was introduced to her and she replied
āPleased to meet you.ā
In a very polite fashion ā but in a distinct accent, an accent I knew well. Damn, the girl wasnāt English ā she was Croatian ā or at least from the Adriatic coast area of Yugoslavia. I spent a lot of time there on holiday, and also worked there briefly, I knew enough of her language to hold a conversation with herā¦
ā Dobro Dan, Drago mi jeā I introduced my self by saying, in the same formal tone she had employed āgood afternoon, nice to meet you?ā which she responded to in english before asking me a another question in her native language
āKako Ste?ā How are you?
I responded in English, and she laughed.
My friend had wandered off during this exchange and we were left talking in a combination of English and Croat. She explained to me that her parents had brought her to England when she was 14 just before the civil war started. I explained my story that I had been on holiday when the war broke out and I ended up stopping a month in the bay of Kotor area of Montenegro before we could get across the border into Croatia to get to Dubrovnik airport to fly home. I had learnt a lot of Serbo-Croat then, as something to do. I also went back to Dubrovnik just after the fighting ended as a volunteer to use my skills as a communications engineer to help rebuild the stateās infrastructure.
The ice was well and truly broken. Katarina and I were talking like old friends. She explained that her family had been doctors in the small village of Cilipi (pronounced Chillipi) ā which was somewhere I had visited on several holidays. I was surprised how fair her complexion was though; Croatian women are renowned as dark and sultry beauties but Katarina was fair skinned and almost white blonde haired. She explained that her mother was from a German family who had fled the Second World War. Her Germanic complexion had been passed to her, despite her dark haired father.
In about 20 minutes we had told each other our life stories and this beautiful woman fascinated me. She was talking to me warmly; there was no hint of the ice maiden reputation.
I helped her rig the generator and some of the workshop stuff in the trailer before it was time for us to go to the competitors briefing, which was followed by the navigators briefing where we were handed the notes the organizers prepare about the course. By the time the organizers had warned us about all the stuff they felt the need to warn us about, it was about time to head to the pub for dinner and a chat. Rob & Katarina went in their road vehicle, and I elected to walk with my friend, as the pub was literally 10 minutes walk away across the fields.
Dinner was great and served promptly, which left us with ages to chat, Katarina moved from next to Rob, to come and sit with me, we went through the pace-notes together in double quick time, as everyone else began a heated debate on composite chassis components. Iām a pretty mean spanner man, but my main area of expertise is preparing motorbikes, and whilst many of the engineering principles are the same, Iām afraid Iām not very interested in the various methods off constructing stronger lighter suspension tie bars, and optimizing steering rack ratios.
Katarina and I simply sat and talked about stuff, all kinds of stuff, she taught me some new Croat words, and told me about her life, which was quite interesting and varied. As she said, sheād come over when she was in her early teens and gone through what remained of the English schooling system, then sheād gone to university and studied international relations and now ran her own business from home, advising multinational companies if their policies would offend local sensibilities in the countries they operate in.
English readers will have seen the adverts for a well-known high street bank promoting their policy of ānever underestimating local knowledgeā Katarina does that sort of thing.
We were talking casually about my job as a communications engineer when I noticed something had changed about the way she was sat, sheād lent way back into the corner of the booth we were in, and sheād extended her legs in my direction and was smiling at me, almost smirking at me, and she motioned for me to look downwards with her eyes. I did so and she began to run one extended leg up and down mine⦠I looked up at her and whispered in Croatian āshta ti radisā what are you doing?
She shrugged and replied simply, again in Croatian; āono ose'cati dobroā it feels good; and carried on doing exactly what she had been doing.
It was hard to carry on a sensible conversation with her smiling that knowing smile but somehow we managed it for about another half hour before Katarina needed to visit the ladies room, I watched her walk across the room, and Iām sure she was putting on a particularly ass-wiggling walk especially for me.
Rob went to the bar shortly after and one of the group leant over to me and whispered:
āThatās incredible, she never even smiles when she talks to us and youāve got her laughing! What are you doing to her?ā
I simply replied āreading the signs and pressing the right buttons; it helps I can speak some of her language tooā
āLucky bastardā was the only response before he leant back and carried on conversing about the merits of knobs on steering wheels!
I stared into my pint for a bit and wondered what all this could lead to, I couldnāt see any way for us to end up in bed, which was the natural conclusion for flirting like this, not with her partner around. Little did I know that I was going to be thrown a lifeline by fate!
