It had taken me many months to get all the details of this trip squared away. Even after all the necessary funds had been raised to purchase the three hundred acres of Brazilian rain forest, it was months before all the contracts were signed. I spent hours and hours on the phone with government officials and lawyers, but in the end I knew all my efforts would be worth the trouble.
For the last hundred years we have seen the rainforests of the world diminish in size with very little intervention to stop it. From covering fourteen percent of our planet to only six percent today, I only hope our efforts are not too little, too late. My father, John McConnell played a big role in elevating international support for preservation of Earth's resources and its many threatened ecological balances. I knew early on in life I was to not only follow in my father's footsteps, but hopefully pave the way in saving our dying planet from our own misuse of its resources.
While my charities focus on many environment works all over the world, it is the Brazilian rainforests that speak to me the most. I cringe at the thought of centuries of plant and animal life disappearing for the sake of a few dollars in the hands of a farmer or uninformed land owner.
My plan was to buy as much of the rainforest as possible and bring in scientists from around the world to study the plant and animal life that existed there in the hopes that a new discovery would be made. If the world could see the endless possibilities that lay among the remaining rain forests, perhaps more international support would be raised and deforestation would finally be put to an end.
The last leg of my flight was all but complete and I found my interpreter Lula waiting for me next to the small airstrip. My crew and I loaded our luggage and camera gear in the back of the jeep and headed off to our tiny bit of heaven, as we liked to call it. Two hours later we stopped just a few yards from a river and walked the remaining mile to our camp.
We spent the next two weeks sleeping in our tents at night and building a small canopy up in one of the trees as high as we could reach. It was a sort of large tree house supported by several trees high up near the highest branches. It was our plan to bring investors here to stay up in the canopy and let the view draw them in and compel them to join us in our endeavor. A few more weeks had past and our small cabin up in the sky was complete and my crew of volunteers prepared to head back home.
Lulu was my interpreter. We first met five years ago at a conference in Peru and while I was immediately attracted to her beautiful dark complexion and long lean body, it was her passion for her native home land that captivated my attention. She helped me find this piece of land near her hometown and if it were not for her mediation, I'm certain the owner would have never agreed to sell it to my group.
My favorite part of the day was our mornings together. She would wake up first and would start breakfast for us both. I would start each day with the smell of fresh coffee on the fire and the sound of her voice calling my name.
"So what are the plans for today Lulu," I asked as we sat down across the small picnic table next to the fire pit. "Are we hiking north towards the river today?"
"Yes," she answered with the usual confidence I was used to. "We'll travel north for an hour or so and gather whatever native fruits and nuts we can find to bring back with us. We should be able to find plenty to choose from near the river."
For the next few hours I followed my interpreter and guide through the dense forest admiring how fast and strong she moved through the vines and trees that surrounded us. I had to fight every minute just to keep up with her pace and I was soaked with sweat by the time we reached the stopping point.
"We can rest here," Lulu finally let me know.
"Thank god," I moaned as I threw my pack down. "I don't think I could follow you any longer."
"Was the view that bad that you couldn't stay behind me?"
"The view was fine, but I was too exhausted to enjoy the forest..."
"I meant my ass silly," she said as she handed me her canteen. "I meant was my ass that bad to stare at...it was a joke."
I could feel my face turn red as it slowly dawned on me what she was referring too and I tried to hide my embarrassment. I took a drink while trying to think of what to say next, but handed her the canteen back without saying a word.
We spent that afternoon collecting a good sample of different fruits and nuts before having a quick lunch and heading back to camp. The whole way back I couldn't help but to stare at her ass.
"Nice view," I joked with her as we arrived at our camp. "We should take walks like that more often."
"Oh, now you enjoyed the view," Lulu laughed as she bent over and shook her ass a little for me. "Glad you enjoyed it; now go get our water for our baths."
I carried a few gallons of water from the nearby stream up to our camp and began heating it up on the fire. We had a makeshift shower made next to a tree at the edge of our camp where we would hang our water in a bag and let it slowly trickle over our bodies while we washed.
"You can go first tonight," I said as I hung the water up for Lulu. "It should be nice and warm for you. I'll get me more water when you are done. "
I sat by the fire and listened to the sound of Lulu bathing herself not realized she had not pulled the curtain shut around her. It wasn't until I turned to ask her something that I saw her standing there completely naked covered in soap and water. I quietly stared at her taking in the sight of every inch of her body while her fingers, as if in slow motion, slid down over her chest and around her breasts. I could feel how excited I was getting and thought I should turn around.
"You know John," Lulu started just as I looked away. "We really should be washing together so we could save water. As a conservationist, wouldn't you agree?"
I stood and slowly walked in her direction as she turned to face me. I could see a different look on her face that I had not seen on her before. I stood in front of the shower curtain we had rigged in one of the branches while she let her fingers run down her belly and down between her legs. Her dark curls of hair playing in the soapy bubbles between her fingers and she slowly massaged her pussy.
"How long are you gonna leave me in here all alone?"
She reached out and pulled me in under the water and pressed her lips against mine. The strong lean body I'd been staring at all day was now pulling me into her tighter while we kissed. Her hands ripped away at my shirt and pants while her warm tongue slid in and out while I kissed her back. The taste of the sweet fruits still on her lips made me crave her body more and more.
"Your lips taste so good," I managed to whisper while her hands wrapped around my waist. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to kiss you."
She smiled a sexy smile and gently pushed my head down over her breasts while my lips found her nipples growing hard between them. I couldn't get over how smooth her skin felt beneath my fingertips while I got down on my knees in front over her. Her hands pressed against my head harder pushing me down further while she spread her legs wide for me letting me know what she was waiting for.
"Do I taste sweet?" she asked while I let my tongue slowly slide between her wet lips.
I could feel my hunger for her growing rapidly and couldn't find the words to answer her. Instead, I held her leg up with one hand and spread her lips apart with the other while my tongue enjoyed her taste more. I could feel her hands pressing harder against my head as I picked up speed and licked her pussy faster and faster.
She slid her leg over my shoulder and let her hips move back and forth while she pushed my mouth tighter and tighter against we wet pussy. Both my hands slid around her body gently squeezing her ass while my tongue enjoyed her firm little clit faster and faster until her moaning deepened and grew louder.
