Russ had a feeling that this trip was going to change his life in a dramatic way. Having broken up with his girlfriend, he had left to go hiking and camping to get his head together. Arriving at the trail head, in the mountains Russ unpacked his backpack. Looking around, his Jeep was the only car in the parking lot.
Good I will have some quiet time to myself
, he thought. The trees were still green and hadn't started changing colors yet, stretching his legs and settling his pack, Russ left his jeep heading into the mountains. The only thing he wanted was to forget about the past few days and enjoy the weekend. Monday would take care of itself.
Two hours later found him sitting under a huge old oak. Sitting down on a large rock half buried in the mountain side to rest and have a sandwich. The trail had been arduous along with a lot of loose scree, but it had been worth it. He sat eating his sandwich while gazing out over the valley that spread before him, having forgotten about the breakup and hurt. Feeling a peaceful quiet settle over him, he lay back on the old rock searching for a semi smooth place to relax. Not having seen any signs of people, it didn't surprise him since it was a hard and not often used trail which is what he preferred. Taking a sip of water and starting to feel sleepy, he was planning on moving on up the mountain to a camp site he knew about. Forcing himself to get up, Russ started on up the path. 30 minutes later he was setting up his tent close to a pool formed by a hot spring. Getting his camp set up. Russ stripped off and eased into the pool, relaxing while he watched the sunset over the mountain range.
"Hello may I join you?" a female voice asked, startling Russ. Snapping his head around, he found a very pretty woman standing on the other side of the spring. She looked to be about his age, she was about 5'5" maybe 115 lbs with black shoulder length hair with an hour glass figure. She had a back pack on the ground and looked like she had been hiking for a while. She was wearing jean shorts with a white tank top. Her top was soaked with sweat. Russ noticed that she wasn't wearing a bra. The outline of her breasts and nipples was very obvious.
"Uh miss that is fine, if you will turn around while I get some shorts on I will be glad to share the pool with you." Russ responded. After the break up with Becky, he felt like it was a good time to relax and just enjoy some company.
"You don't have to do anything special for me." She answered sitting down and removing her boots, then she took her tank top off. Rising up and turning to throw her top on the pack she bent over to take her shorts off. As she lowered her shorts, Russ had a clear view of her back side. Lifting each leg to remove her clothing, her woman hood was on display. She turned to ease into the pool opposite Russ.
Damn she is beautiful, he thought to himself. He felt himself getting an erection as he looked at her.
Stop that don't be a pervert those are some nice tits though
.
"My name is Katy what is yours? Are you camping nearby?" She asked.
It took Russ a few moments to realize what she had asked. "Yes I have a camp back about a hundred feet. I am Russ, good to meet you. Do you hike around here much?"
"No actually this is the first time I have been in this area. I was told about it and wanted to check it out. This hot spring is amazing. Now I don't have to worry about taking a cold bath before bed." Her laughter sounded like music to him. "How long have you been here?"
"I got here about 30 minutes ago, after getting my site setup. A nice relaxing dip in the pool was the ticket, plus getting to watch the evening sun. Where is your camp if I might ask?"
"I haven't set one up yet, since this is my first time being around here I was looking for a decent place. Would you mind sharing this site with me? I don't want to intrude on you, I have my own gear."
Russ pondered about it a moment "That's fine as long as you are ok with it."
"Thank you this place is so peaceful and pretty. It would be nice to watch the sunrise from here don't you think." Her voice sounded so inspired that Russ just smiled.
"It is I have camped at this site several times and it is always amazing. Not many people come here because they are too lazy for the effort it takes. That is their loss though." He replied with a laugh. Russ was so relaxed with the normal conversation that he has lost his erection. "Do you need any help setting up your camp? I will be glad to give you a hand."
"Oh what a gentleman, no it won't take me long to get it done. Thank you though."
"In that case I am going to start my supper. You are welcome to come and visit if you wish." He stated as he was rising out of the water. Turning as quickly as possible so as to hide his small manhood, he didn't consider himself very large. "I have a couple of beers on some ice, but that won't last long."
"Russ, are you trying to get me drunk?" Katy exclaimed in a faux voice.
Stammering he answered turning red "No! No I would not do that!"
"Relax I was just teasing you Russ. A cold beer would be awesome thank you."
Starting to prepare his supper he just could not get over Katy and how open she seemed to be. It was a refreshing experience to be able to just have a fun conversation with someone, without it turning out to be focused on them. Realizing their talk had been just that.. just a talk no drama or accusations, demands for something to be done. It hit Russ suddenly about the way Becky had been. I put up with that for two years? Having made that realization he was glad that it was over with her. The last straw had been catching Becky fucking Mike on their bed. Shaking his head Russ got back to cooking his food.
About an hour later Katy came strolling into the camp. She had changed clothes, wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt that seemed a bit small, her nipples was on display and leading the way. "All setup and fed." She announced. "Are you still offering a free beer?"
"Sure what kind of a guy would I be to offer you one then renege on it?" Laughing as he handed her one. "I love it out here, it is nice and quiet. No drama, no cell phones going off. The stars seem to be so close that you can almost touch them." Russ sighed.
"They are lovely, and very bright out here away from any other lights." She admitted. "Have you ever wondered if there was other intelligent life out there? I think that there has to be with that many stars."
"Do you really believe that Katy?"
"Yes I do Russ. For each star there are planets around them, out of all those planets there has to be some form of intelligence. Earth is just one small planet in the vast scheme of the cosmos. Why would everyone think that the Earth is the only planet that developed intelligent life? That just does not make any sense to me."
"Katy, I never thought about it that way. Although what you said makes a lot of sense." agreeing with her. "It is just a shame we will never know. What kind of work do you do, if you don't mind my asking?"
"I work in the security field Russ. It is interesting, but it can be hazardous at times. That is all I can tell you though." She answered softly. "What do you do for work Russ?"
"I understand and won't ask any more. I am a mechanical engineer. I am just starting to get into the work force after having went to MIT and getting my masters degree." He answered with some pride.
"That is great Russ, I am sure that you will do well in that field. It is getting late, so I think I will go to bed. I will see you in the morning and thanks for the beer along with the conversation." Katy said getting to her feet.
"Katy it was my pleasure you have been wonderful company. Have a great night." Russ answered also rising to get things ready for bed. As Russ was lying in his tent, he thought about the past few days. How could he have been so blind to what was going on with Becky? How long had it been going on? Deciding that thinking that way would just drive him crazy, he vowed to not do it again. Turning his thoughts to Katy, she was a stunning woman. She wasn't shy and man did she have a body, one that was built for sin. Not only was she sexy, but was nice to be around. She had to be smart to work in the type of security that she couldn't talk about. Beauty and Brains what a combo. He finally drifted off to sleep with her on his mind.
Russ woke slowly having a hard time waking. Disoriented he did not know where he was. It took a few minutes to figure out that he was not in his tent. With a start, he found himself sitting in a comfortable padded chair. Looking around he saw that he was alone. There was a double row of seats on each side of an aisle. Even though there was plenty of light he could not discern where it was coming from. The flooring was a grayish color, while the walls were silver. The odd thing was that there were no windows. Russ had no sense of movement. Pushing down his fear he asked. "Hello is anyone there?"
"Yes, Russ, I am here." A mechanical voice answered.
"Where am I?" He demanded trying to not sound like a frightened child.
"You are in a transport Russ."
"What kind of transport is this, and where are you taking me?"
"Things will be explained in a little while, would you like some water? You are dehydrated and need to drink something." The anonymous voice answered.
