On the year I turned eighteen I explained to my mother that now I was legally an adult I wouldn't bother to go with them to the country for our annual holiday. I'd stay home for a change. I could look after myself so there was no need for her to worry.
My mother looked at me thoughtfully and told me to make sure I packed a decent jumper. I'd forgotten the previous year.
On the year I turned eighteen I explained to my father that now I was legally an adult I wouldn't bother to go with them to the country for our annual holiday. I'd stay home for a change. I could look after myself so there was no need for him to worry.
My father looked at me thoughtfully and asked me if my mother had reminded me to make sure I packed a decent jumper. I'd forgotten the previous year.
So once again I was heading off with my parents for two weeks of tedium, which would be interspersed with periods of screaming boredom. We got to our little home away from home and the parents settled down to relax and I settled down to sulk.
After a couple of days I'd had it. Long walks that didn't take you anywhere. A cute little village that you were leaving as soon as you entered it. A small general store. A very small, very general store. The place was a shining example of how to store lots of useless things in a very small space.
After three days the parents were starting to think that they'd have been better off leaving me at home. Dad, in sheer desperation, came up with a suggestion that made a modicum of sense. I used to like riding. Why didn't I visit the local riding school and rent one of their horses?
Anything was better than nothing, so I did just that. They had a couple of horses that they hired out, and after I'd proved my proficiency they produced this lovely little mare for me to ride.
I soon found out why this little sweetheart was their renter. She had two gaits. Slow and slower. Still, it gave me a chance to amble around without having to expend my own energy. So that day and the next were relatively pleasant.
It would have been about the sixth day of our holiday when I rolled up to the riding school to hire my horse again. Settling onto her we trotted off, heading down a path I hadn't yet explored. Alright. I'll correct that. We ambled slowly off, heading down a path, etc.
After I'd headed down this path for a while another path joined up with us, and so did another rider, his horse also not in any great hurry. He pulled up alongside of me and introduced himself as Barry. Fiona, I let him know, and we ambled along together just chatting and flirting a little.
Barry was older than me, probably in his early twenties. He was blonde and tanned and seemed to be reasonably fit and healthy. And while I was subtly checking him out I could see he was doing something similar.
All of a sudden we seemed to run out of path. The track we were on just seemed to peter out, leaving us facing this great big meadow. It must have covered several acres, and was just rolling grass, except for a small clump of trees in the middle of it.
Barry and I pulled up and looked at the expanse of grass. I remembered the woman at the riding school telling me they had a large training area down one of the tracks. This must be it.
Barry looked at me, grinned and tossed down the challenge.
"Race you to those trees," He said. "On the count of three. One, two, three!"
And we were off. Barry surged a little to the lead in the first few steps then kept increasing the lead with each additional step. I wasn't on a horse. I was on a blasted slug.
Barry was waiting when I finally arrived. He'd dismounted and was standing there, laughing.
"What kept you?" he asked.
"I had to wait for the blasted horse," I said, dismounting and looking at the animal with disgust.
"That's Black Star, isn't it?" Barry observed, indicating the black blaze on her forehead.
I nodded.
"Thought so. She's got the reputation of being the slowest horse in the state. A well deserved reputation I believe."
I just gave him a look. If he knew the horse then he knew that it hadn't been a race. It had been a farce.
"Well," said Barry. "Seeing the mighty snowdrop won the race for me, you have to pay a forfeit."
"Snowdrop?" I queried, looking at his horse, brown without a single spot of white. "And what's this about a forfeit?"
"He likes to eat them," explained Barry. "And if a challenge is made and lost then a forfeit applies. Everyone knows that."
"Oh, do they just. And just what sort of challenge are you proposing?"
"Drop your panties and I'll show you," came the smooth reply.
I'm like "What?!?"
"I said, drop your panties and I'll show you," repeated Barry.
"You're not seriously suggesting that I should have sex with you?" I asked, scorn dripping from my words.
"Why not? You lost the race."
"Why not? I don't even know you. This is the first time we've met. Why the hell would I want to have sex with you?"
"Haven't you ever wondered what it would be like to be alone with a mysterious stranger and have him remove your clothes, stretch you out naked upon the ground and make love to you. Knowing that this might be the only time you ever met. This one moment of naked passion living forever in your memory with the feel of my hard cock slowly penetrating you a measuring stick which you will use to grade any future lovers.
All you have to do is consent and this daydream will be yours. You'll feel my lips on yours. You'll feel my teeth biting lightly on your breasts, teasing the nipples and lifting you to heights undreamed of. And all this will take place before my hot cock plunges into you, taking you to paradise. Say yes."
I felt deliciously squirmy low down. Of course I've dreamt of romantic interludes, but there's a hell of a difference between a day dream and letting some bozo pull down your panties and fuck you. I'd give it a pass.
"You make it sound almost irresistible," I murmured, "but the keyword is almost. I'll pass."
"OK. Fair enough, I guess. Perhaps you'd rather go with no consent, where the handsome stranger pins you to the ground and peels off your clothes while you wriggle and struggle in vain. Then once he's got you naked he pins you down, and all you can do is watch helplessly as his mighty cock descends upon you, penetrating you and slowly ravishing you, having no regard to your feelings but bringing you to a climax anyway. So, would you like me to force you?"
"No," I shrieked, aghast at the idea, and trying to ignore the squirming that had intensified deep inside me. God, he made rape sound attractive.
"Anyway," I said, picking the flaw in his logic. "If I said I wanted you to force me I'd be giving consent, now wouldn't I?"
"True," Barry said, still smiling. "So why don't you consider the options. Consent and allow me to have my wicked way or don't consent and don't allow me to have my wicked way."
Really, the choice should have been an easy one. I didn't even know who he was. Barry, he had said, but that doesn't mean that was really his name. To allow an anonymous stranger to have sex with me? It didn't bear thinking about.
But I was and I'll admit it. The idea of a little wildness was so horribly tempting. I could just see it. Me lying on the grass with no clothes. Naked beneath the sun while he slowly stripped, exposing his manhood and then gently taking me. Or taking me not all that gently, for that matter. I felt a little shudder run up my spine.
Before I could tell him no, Barry tossed another firecracker at me.
"Before you say no, you should realise that when you do I'll just go ahead and take you anyway. It will just be without your consent. The handsome stranger will still divest you of your clothes, and then inflict his unwanted attentions upon you, driving you to despair at your sheer helplessness beneath him."
