Twenty-year-old Jane Hopkins was a student at Exeter University studying Art History. An orphan from the age of thirteen, she had lived with her Great Aunt Mabel in the Devon countryside. She achieved well at school, winning a place at University, the first time she would have to live away from home.
Being very shy and innocent, although very mature, University life had been a real eye-opener to her and as a result had kept herself very much to herself. This also resulted in her very conservative choice of clothing. None of the tight, revealing, skimpy clothing that most of her contemporaries wore, but large baggy jumpers, long skirts and the like, which most definitely hid the womanly charms underneath.
Having successfully completed her third year, Great Aunt Mabel decided that to enhance Jane's knowledge she should visit some of the great Art Galleries of Europe to see the masterpieces she was learning about at first hand. Providing the money for Jane to go inter-railing round Europe, they sat and worked out an itinerary to take her to London, Paris, Barcelona, Florence and Amsterdam before returning home.
The trip from Exeter to London had been very uneventful and Jane had spent almost a week camped in The National Gallery, The Tate Britain, Somerset House and several others, agog at the wonderful masterpieces hanging before her.
All too soon it was time for her to travel on to Paris and arriving at St. Pancras in plenty of time she bought herself a coffee and sat writing a postcard to Aunt Mabel, briefly outlining where she had visited and thanking her again for allowing her such an amazing experience. With fifteen minutes to go before departure, Jane posted the card and boarded her train.
Finding her carriage and seat was relatively easy, and as she removed her rucksack, she couldn't help but notice that in a seat on the opposite side of the carriage was a very attractive young man who seemed to be buried in his laptop. Turning towards her own seat Jane heaved her rucksack up toward the baggage rack but its ungainly nature made it topple and almost fall from her grasp. Before she could blink, a pair of strong arms appeared and supported the rucksack with apparent ease.
"Here, let me help you with that," offered the young man, accidentally, or maybe intentionally, leaning against Jane as he reached over her to help her with her rucksack.
"Thank you, but I'm sure I'll manage," replied Jane, before she relinquished her struggle and let the man easily lift it up onto the baggage rack.
"Thank you, again" she stammered, embarrassed that she had needed the help, but also because of the strange feeling that had coursed through her body as they had touched.
"My pleasure, I assure you," countered the young man smiling at Jane, obviously wanting the conversation to continue. However, Jane's innocence and embarrassment meant she simply picked up her novel, sat down and began to read in an attempt to settle her racing pulse. A rather disheartened young man returned to his seat and busied himself with his laptop again.
As Jane tried to focus on her book, she was aware that the young man was not quite as focused on his laptop, and she could sense the interested stares she was getting from him.
With seconds to go before the train departed Jane heard a commotion on the platform near her window and glancing out, she could see another young woman about her own age struggling to get on the train with an equally large rucksack. A few seconds later, the woman struggled through the door into the compartment, the disturbance causing all those nearby to look in her direction. Taking it all in her stride the young woman smiled at all the inquisitive faces before glancing at her ticket and around the carriage trying to locate her seat.
With a little cry of glee, she discovered that she had the seat beside the young man, and grinned broadly, as he looked up at her.
"Could I please ask you for some assistance?" she murmured, in a very soft sultry and definitely foreign voice.
As if given an electric shock, the young man was out of his seat and standing beside the young woman in a flash.
"Certainly," he replied, in an all too eager manner, and effortlessly he lifted the rucksack and placed it in the baggage rack above their seats.
The young woman looked lustfully at the young man and gently squeezing his bicep added, "Goodness, you are strong, aren't you."
The young man, now embarrassed, returned to his seat but watched with eyes on stalks as the young woman took her seat beside him. It was not difficult to see why his, and the other males nearby, eyes were on stalks.
This young woman was the antithesis of Jane. Long blonde hair, tied in a ponytail, standing about five foot nine in her trainers (not that Jane was short), she had legs that seemed to go on forever, up into a very short denim mini-skirt. She also had a delicious pair of breasts straining to break free from her cropped top t-shirt, with acres of bare, toned stomach flesh also on view. She was your typical Scandinavian beauty, and she knew it, and how to use it.
Any fleeting interest Jane might have had in the young man, even if she had known how to approach him, evaporated in an instant and she returned her focus to her book.
Soon the train was moving, and the Kent countryside began to flash by. Jane, although interested in her book, was more interested in trying to hear what the young man and woman were saying. About twenty minutes into the journey, and the train was fast approaching the Channel Tunnel when Jane saw the young man give a very noticeable jump and rearranged himself in his seat.
Glancing over at the couple, Jane could see that the young woman was sporting an enticing grin, while the young man appeared to be recovering from a bit of a shock before he too began to smile.
Just as she was about to return to her book, Jane noticed some movement under the table at which her travelling companions were seated. She could clearly see the hand of the young woman, placed firmly in the crotch of the young man, and it was moving backwards and forwards over what appeared to be a significant bulge in the man's trousers.
Jane blushed and returned to reading her book, but the words swam in front of her eyes. Even she knew that the young woman was rubbing the man's cock through his trousers, and she couldn't believe the forwardness, or the risk that the young woman was taking.
A couple more minutes of whispering occurred between the couple and Jane was only able to catch a few snippets that seemed to suggest something about having 'sex under the sea', and the 'need to eat something'. She was very puzzled.
