Tarzan and Jane spend more time together, bit at her campsite and a new spot Tarzan wants to show her.
Chapter Five
Jane kissed Tarzan's neck and stretched, long shadows starting to pool around them after their rest in the late afternoon heat. Tarzan looked up, ran his fingers through her hair and watched as she stood to walk to the river. Her body felt electric, despite the nap. She felt energized in this wild land with time spent with this wild man, too.
She waded knee deep into the river, feeling the smooth stones under her feet. Tarzan's cum oozed from her and she splashed water on her upper thighs to rinse, going deeper into the water and relishing the feel of the river and the lingering feel of Tarzan inside her. She'd camped here for several days, her journey stalling now, but it didn't matter. This was the purpose of her trip, to explore, find adventures as they offered themselves and get away from city life. So far so good, she thought... check, check, check.
Would Tarzan follow her, would he fade into the jungle and disappear? She didn't know and while it was getting easier to communicate basic things to him, it would be hard to ask him his intentions with her, she laughed.
A shadow fell over her as she rinsed a final time. Tarzan was behind her, still naked, holding a thin stick. He touched her shoulder.
"Fish?" he said, repeating one of the words they had practiced earlier.
Jane nodded enthusiastically, "Yes! Fish, fish would be delicious."
The smile crept over his lips again, and he dove into the water, disappearing with hardly a splash into the deeper darkness of the river.
Jane watched, expecting to see him surface somewhere near, but saw nothing. Her eyes searched the water, upstream and down, then the far bank, but there was no sign of Tarzan. Had he disappeared again, she wondered? Maybe off to the local African market for some frozen fish and margaritas, she giggled?
After a couple minutes, Jane retreated to the bank near her camp and sat waiting on a rock for him to reappear. Moments later, she saw his familiar form emerge from near where she had bathed. The stick he had carried now held two fish, still squirming wildly after being impaled on it.
Jane shook her head, another thing I'll never see back in the city. She smiled broadly and waved him over.
By the time they had built a fire and finished dinner, darkness was stretched across the campsite. This had been the longest time Tarzan had spent with her, and it had been a wonderful day. Jane wondered about the wild man etiquette, should she ask him to stay, call a cab back to his place, hard to know what worked out here?
Tarzan saw her smiling at her loopy thoughts and looked up from where he was burning the last of the meal leftovers in the fire.
"Staying the night?" she asked, not expecting an answer but trying to keep up some talk to help him learn the language. "I've got extra room in my tent."
Tarzan's gaze followed her pointing back to the tent. He stood and walked slowly to it, kneeling down and looking into it warily.
"It's not five stars, but there is a nice leaf bed, and as you know the blanket is pretty soft." She watched Tarzan circle the tent, look into the trees and finally, face her, "Tent, no."
"Umm, ok... no tent... well, any thoughts for bedding down tonight?"
He walked past her, stooped to pick up the leather loincloth and stepped into it, walking beyond the campfire. He slowed, motioning for her to follow him. She stood, realizing he was walking away and might disappear into the trees again, so she grabbed her oversized shirt, slipped it on and followed him along the dark river. The moon was a sliver behind fluffy pale clouds, but there was just enough light to see Tarzan tracing the bank for about one hundred yards before turning around and motioning to her once more. He waited on her to catch up and pointed across the river, making swimming motions.
Jane shook her head, "Oh no, it's dark, and I'm not going in that river for a swim before bed, thanks but no thanks." She stepped back a few feet.
Again, he motioned across and urged her to follow, stepping in up to his ankles.
She shook her head again, "No way, who knows what's in there at night...no."
In one quick motion, Tarzan scooped her up and placed her on his shoulder. She squealed at the sudden motion, and he turned to wade into the river. He held her tight, and she looked down to see the water was no deeper than his knees each step to the other side. He lowered her onto the smooth stones on the other side of the dark riverbank.
"Wow, um, good choice of where to cross..." she laughed nervously.
She stood barefooted on the stones, wearing only the cotton shirt and looked around for snakes. When she glanced up, Tarzan was gone, although she could hear faint rustling as he pressed ahead in the gray night. She scurried after him, only his silhouette visible ahead.
Tarzan paused, turning to implore her to follow, and he disappeared deeper into the thick brush, seeming to find paths unseen in the darkness. Jane stumbled, hardly seeing anything, and Tarzan reached back, taking her hand. It felt surreal, being pulled along into the darkness, unsure of her bearings and barely able to see beyond Tarzan's shoulders.
