Author's Note: All characters in this story are over 18, and all acts are consensual. This is a primal tale of a 37-year-old archaeologist's descent into desire--a slow build that unravels into something gritty, raw, taboo and extreme at times.
Expect explicit sex, fertility rituals, size kinks, exhibitionism, lesbian encounters, group sex, gaping, natural bodies and the supernatural--not your typical perky, tight MILF fantasy.
If that sounds like your thing, step inside. If not, best give it a miss.
Chapter 6
The drive to the village was long and hot, the jungle stretching endlessly on either side of the dirt road. Faye gripped the wheel tighter than she needed to, her knuckles whitening, her jaw clenched. She'd tossed and turned all night, the tent's humid air thick with shame--Jenny's wide eyes burned in her mind, watching her ride the phallus, slick and stretched, her body splayed open, vulnerable. The thought gnawed, her stomach twisting. She'd barely slept, her skin prickling with the memory of the stone filling her, her own ragged gasps haunting the dark.
Jenny sat beside her, quieter than usual, her fingers tracing slow patterns on her knee. She wasn't bouncing, but a restless energy hummed off her, her gaze flicking to Faye, then away. After a stretch of silence, she spoke, voice soft, curious. "Last night... what you did," she started, hesitant. "It felt... special, didn't it? Like there's this energy around you--something tying you to the reliefs."
Faye's cheeks flared, heat creeping up her neck. "Jenny..." she mumbled, voice tight, trailing off. She couldn't meet her eyes. The memory of Jenny's awe, her "It's okay to finish," seared her. What had she been thinking, giving in like that? She was a serious archaeologist, not some reckless woman lost to strange urges. Her thighs shifted, awkwardly.
Jenny tilted her head, studying her, not pushing but wondering. "I keep feeling it," she said, quieter, almost to herself. "Like what you did--it's part of this place. The festival... maybe it's more than we think." Her eyes glinted, curious, searching Faye's face.
Faye swallowed, a lump in her throat, staring at the road ahead, her grip tightening. She couldn't find the words to respond.
By the time they arrived at Luz's apartment, Faye was still tangled in her own thoughts. The scent of incense hit her the moment they stepped inside, thick and musky, curling through the air like a living thing. The dimly lit space was filled with sketches and paintings--phalluses, bodies entwined in ritualistic poses, fertility symbols inked onto parchment with practiced hands. Luz stood in the center of it all, her black silk robe clinging to her curves, a knowing smile on her lips.
Faye cleared her throat.
"What exactly happens at this festival?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.
Luz's dark eyes glinted. "It is a celebration," she said smoothly. "Of life. Of pleasure. Of Tierra Viva."
That phrase again. Faye's skin prickled. Luz gestured toward the table, where three gold goblets sat, the liquid inside a deep, rich amber.
"An ancient tonic," Luz explained. "It prepares the mind. Heightens the senses."
Faye hesitated, but Jenny, ever fearless, grabbed a goblet and took a long sip. She smacked her lips. "Mmm. Spiced honey?"
Luz smiled. "And more."
Jenny nudged Faye. "Come on, professor. We want to learn about the Zan'quara, right?"
Faye stared at her goblet. She had already crossed so many lines. What was one more? Slowly, she lifted it to her lips and drank. The effect wasn't immediate, but within minutes, she felt it--a warmth spreading through her limbs, an almost electric awareness humming beneath her skin. The room seemed richer in color, the incense more intoxicating.
Luz studied her with knowing eyes. "You feel it now, don't you?"
