Chapter 1 β Jungle Secrets
The Guide glanced back to see the progress his clients were making. He knew that white people always found it exhausting when they took the trip through the thick, humid African rainforests. Most of them wanted to be taken to the witch-doctor. For what reason, he could not tell - all the locals knew of the wickedness of the shaman and avoided contact with him unless it was very necessary. '
At least they paid well
' the guide thought to himself as he waited for the American couple to catch up to him. The man was just like any eager travel enthusiast β full of energy and wearing all the stereotypical clothes for the trip he was taking β in this case the khaki shorts and shirt, heavy shoes and, of course, the mandatory explorer hat.
'
Clown
' the guide thought and allowed his eyes to move to the woman. What a sight she was β her long, raven black hair was tied up in a pony tail, which opened up her lovely face. Sweat dripped from her forehead past her light blue, almost grey eyes, down her perfectly sculpted cheeks and nose, trickled over her full lips and eventually dribbled off her chin. Her electric blue tank top was completely soaked and her C-cup breasts wobbled inside the fabric as she took heavy steps on the pathway. For safety, it generally wasn't a good idea to wear shorts in the jungle but the guide was just too selfish to tell his client that β now, looking at her long, firm legs, he didn't regret his decision. What's more her nylon shorts, barely covering anything more than her ass, were now drenched and had gone translucent. She seemed to be wearing no panties and the guide could almost see the dark patch of her pubic hair. The heavy Caterpillar shoes completed that, Action-Woman, Lara Croft look.
The guide's lips curled into a slight smirk as he peered at the beautiful white woman, advancing slowly and her goofy male companion, walking behind her and looking around with the enthusiasm of a child looking for hidden Christmas presents.
"Isn't this amazing, Vicky?" the man called out. Victoria looked sharply at him then at the guide. Noticing the black local man staring at her bouncing breasts with an annoyingly dreamy smile on his face, she snorted in frustration. She wasn't used to this situation β of not having control. She was a city girl β used to manipulating men into taking care of her every desire, the degrading ogling of worthless tour guides was not something she could put up with. She straightened up, took a deep breath and reminded herself why she was there β she was now engaged to Greg β the youngest spoiled child of a multimillionaire family. Victoria was intoxicated by money and power β and as long as she got to marry this guy in a few weeks time, she had to swallow her pride and join him on one of these ridiculous trips to Africa that he loved so much.
"It's lovely, honey" the scornfulness in her voice completely eluded her fiancΓ©e.
"Not much left now, boss, it's just down there" The guide pointed down to a clearing, visible from the top of the hill they were standing on. '
But you're on your own when we arrive! I want nothing to do with that crazy man
' he added to himself. Finally the small path opened up to the clearing, a solitary hut in the middle, and a small garden in which various vegetables grew, a few chickens were running around in a small fenced area. Even Victoria loosened up and found the witch-doctor's abode rather cute and romantic.
"I shall wait for you back at the path" the guide said, retreating out of sight as the couple walked towards the hut. The village people often spoke of strange things happening to attractive white women who visited the witch-doctor and as far as attractiveness went, Victoria was the most stunning white girl that he'd ever seen. He indulged into a forbidden fantasy as he waited for the two Americans to return.
"Come in, come in" a creaky voice sounded from the inside of the clay shack as Victoria and Greg approached. The couple walked in to see a very black man, sitting on a mat, clad in just enough to conceal his manhood but not much more. Even though he was clearly enormous 'down there' and he had a lean, well built, muscular body, Victoria was appalled by his appearance. She had never associated black men with sex and this one, practically naked in front of her - so blatant and in-your-face - pushed her into treating him to one of her trademark belittling looks. Sensing her negativity he retorted with a lustful gaze, making no attempt to conceal his condescension as he looked up her perfectly curved body to finally fixate deep into Victoria's blue eyes, with an atrocious grin, infuriating the proud white woman.
"Welcome to Tan'kha's humble home" he said with his thick African accent and bowed his head, mellowing down after the wordless clash of egos with the lovely young American lady. Victoria nodded coldly while Greg beamed enthusiastically "Thank you, sir. It's a great pleasure to be here. This place is amazing" Tan'kha smiled sincerely.
"You've no doubt come for a reading of your future?" the black mystic asked.
"Wow, that'd be great. Honey?"
"Um, no thanks, I think I need a breath of fresh air, I'll wait outside" Victoria felt the Tan'kha's stare on her round ass as she turned around to walk out. By habit, she swayed her hips and teased the black man, immediately regretting it.
"You have a lovely companion" Tan'kha started once the two men were alone.
"She's great, isn't she? We're getting married in 5 weeks time"
"A strong woman, she is, difficult to tame" the witch-doctor said, he knew these American men, no willpower, crushed by their very own wives.
"Oh, she always gets her way" Greg said, openly admitting Victoria's total domination over him.
"In Africa, it is the wife who pleases her man and obeys his every desire" The sage said, almost mockingly. Greg toyed with the idea of a submissive Victoria. The mere thought made him blush as if he'd betrayed her.
"We are in Africa, friend, you must take control of your possessions" Tan'kha continued "before you lose them" he grinned. The goofy expression on Greg's face didn't change.
"You said something about reading my future?" He clumsily attempted to change the subject.
"Very well" the black man got up and walked over to a shelf, stacked with sacks, bowls, bones and various other strange looking objects. He took a selection of herbs and powders from their sacks and mixed them in a bowl, finally adding water to make a mushy shake-like liquid, which he brought back and sat on the floor. He sipped from the bowl. Greg stood, fascinated by the process, he didn't know what was going on but the mysteriousness of it captivated him. Tan'kha presented the bowl to the White man with a comforting smile, his iniquity well hidden. Hesitant Greg raised the bowl and drank its contents.
