The cold wind whipped around me as I stood on the edge of the mountain, my breath visible in the crisp Austrian air. The view was breathtaking, but my attention was entirely focused on the girl a few feet away. She had a big, round ass that strained against her tight jeans, and her blond hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of gold. Shella, I later learned her name was. And she was everything I wanted in that moment.
"Hey there," I called out, attempting to sound confident despite the nervous flutter in my stomach. "Beautiful day, isn't it?"
She turned, revealing piercing blue eyes that seemed to see right through me. Her lips curved into a slight smile, but before she could respond, a sudden buzz filled the air. My heart skipped a beat as I realized what it wasβa bee. The tiny insect zoomed past my face, and in a panic, I swatted at it wildly. Laughter erupted from the small group of hikers nearby, their amusement echoing off the rocks.
"Nice move," a deep voice chuckled behind me. I turned to see a muscular guy with a rugged look, his eyes twinkling with amusement. Verin, as he introduced himself shortly after. "But maybe next time, try not to draw attention to yourself."
Heat rushed to my cheeks as I mumbled an apology, feeling like an idiot. Shella's smile had faded, replaced by a look of mild amusement. She glanced at Verin appreciatively before turning back to me.
"It's okay," she said softly, though her tone lacked any real sympathy. "Just... be careful."
I nodded, vowing silently to myself that I wouldn't make another attempt to talk to her, especially not now that I'd made such a fool of myself. But fate had other plans.
As the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting long shadows across the mountainside, a rumble shook the ground beneath us. Instinctively, I looked up, my heart pounding in my chest. A cascade of rocks and debris came crashing down the slope, separating our group into smaller clusters. Hikers screamed, running for cover or trying to help those caught in the chaos.
Through the dust and confusion, I spotted Shella. She was standing near Verin, both of them seemingly unharmed. Panic surged through me as I watched more rocks rain down, splintering our group further. I tried to move towards them, but the path was blocked by falling debris.
"Ron! Over here!" Shella's voice cut through the noise, sharp and clear. I followed her gaze to a narrow gap between two large boulders. Gritting my teeth, I made a dash for it, narrowly avoiding a particularly large rock that would have crushed me if I hadn't ducked in time.
When I reached them, I was panting, adrenaline coursing through my veins. We were now a trio, isolated from the rest of the group amidst the wreckage of the rock fall.
"Looks like we're stuck here for the night," Verin said, surveying the scene with a calm that belied the situation. "We should find a safe spot to camp."
Shella nodded, glancing around. "Over there," she pointed to a small clearing shielded by a natural rock overhang. "Should be safer."
We moved quickly, gathering whatever supplies we could find scattered among the rubble. As the sky darkened, we settled in under the overhang, sharing what little food and water we had. Tension hung in the air, thick and palpable.
As night fell, the temperature dropped, and we huddled closer together for warmth. I couldn't help but notice the way Shella and Verin interacted, the subtle touches and glances that passed between them. It was clear they had some kind of connection, one that left me feeling even more out of place.
"You okay, Ron?" Shella asked, her voice softer now, tinged with concern.
I nodded, forcing a smile. "Yeah, just... thinking."
Verin chuckled, a low sound that seemed to vibrate through the silence. "Thinking about how you almost got squashed by a rock?"
I laughed weakly, unable to deny the truth in his words. "Something like that."
As the hours ticked by, fatigue set in, and my eyelids grew heavy. But sleep was elusive. Every rustle, every creak of the rocks above us, kept me on edge. I could feel the weight of Shella's presence beside me, the heat of her body so close yet unattainable.
Eventually, the others dozed off, leaving me alone with my thoughts. The moonlight filtered through the cracks in the rocks, casting eerie shadows that danced across the clearing. I stared up at the jagged edges overhead, wondering how long we'd be trapped here.
Then, without warning, something shifted. I heard a soft gasp from Shella, followed by the gentle rustling of fabric. My heart raced as I turned my head, only to see her moving closer to Verin. Their bodies pressed together, and she tilted her head, offering her neck to him.
Verin's hand slid up her arm, his touch lingering as he whispered something in her ear. She shivered, biting her lip as she nodded. My breath caught in my throat, a mix of jealousy and curiosity bubbling up inside me.
They kissed, slow and deliberate, their hands exploring each other with a familiarity that made my stomach churn. I wanted to look away, to pretend I hadn't seen, but my eyes refused to obey. Instead, I watched, entranced by the sight of them lost in each other.
Shella broke the kiss, her breath coming in short gasps. She looked directly at me, her eyes locking onto mine with a challenge. "You can watch, if you want," she said, her voice dripping with something dangerously close to pity. "But don't get any ideas."
Verin smirked, his hand sliding lower, cupping her ass possessively. "Yeah, Ron. Just enjoy the show."
My mouth went dry, my heart pounding in my ears. I knew I should look away, should protest, but instead, I found myself leaning forward, unable to tear my gaze from the unfolding scene.
"Please," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "Don't..."
But they didn't stop. If anything, their movements became more deliberate, more intense. Shella let out a soft moan as Verin's fingers worked their magic, teasing her through the layers of her clothes. He leaned in, whispering something else in her ear, and she responded by arching her back, pressing herself against him.
