Walking around the natural grotto by the Greek shoreline, I'm struck by a statue on one side, its stone worn by the passage of time, but the beauty and grace of its lines still evident. It's a nereid, I think, the sea nymph that once was the patron of this grotto. I wonder what sacred rites were once performed here...
When I turn to go, I trip, falling into the water. I pull myself out, dripping. The grotto seems transformed somehow. I can't put my finger on it until I look back at the statue and startle to find it transformed. Kneeling atop the pedestal is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, her hair the color of the Mediterranean, her gaze as she looks down at me cool, imperious, and sensuous all at once. Her whole body is covered by fine netting.
As I stare, she clears her throat, and holds out her hand to me, saying, "A little help, mortal?"
I stare in shock for a moment longer, then hurry to her, taking her hand and helping her down from the pedestal, her touch cool against my skin.
When she is done, she looks around, then back at me, her hand still in mine.
"It has been a long time since someone has come to my worship. Too long I think."
I find myself stammering, words failing as I try to explain that I'm not here to, I mean, I wouldn't even know how to...
She bursts out in a laugh, taking my head in her hands. "Don't worry, mortal, we all worship in our own ways." And with that, she pulls my face down to hers, kissing me full on the lips. While the rest of her feels cool, her lips are warm on mine, and she tastes of salt-spray and sunshine, and I feel myself coming most beautifully undone, my heart, body, and mind ready to be given over in worship of her.
Kissing my goddess is like diving under an oncoming wave, the force of it washing over you, carrying you along as you try to swim against the current, and when you emerge on the far side you're gasping for air, prepared to be tumbled under the water once more. When our lips part, we stand clinging to one another, faces only inches away, our breath mingling, laced with desire, the phantom memory of her tongue still filling my mouth.
I'm uncomfortably aware of how hard my cock is in my pants, straining for release, and yet, looking into her dark almond eyes staring up at me, all concerns about propriety seem unimportant. The waves of her hair carry all the colors of the ocean in them, and they seem to shimmer through shades of azure, teal, aquamarine, purple, and deep blue, and in her eyes I can see the stormy waters of eternal passion which only the bravest or most foolish sailors dare face.
