CHAPTER 2 - A HELPING HAND.
Espin sat on the spire of the village church. Watching. Opposite the church was a pub, where she was hoping to find her next victim.
It had been a few days since 'helping' the young married couple in the forest, and the nymph was feeling restless. Time for more fun, she thought.
She was just thinking it was time to move on and hunt somewhere else when two young men exited the pub. Espin leant forward, putting her elbows on her knees.
Her pointy ears had exceptional hearing and she could easily make out what was being said from the lofty heights of the church spire.
Unaware of being watched, Daniel turned to his friend, Liam. "See you tomorrow," Daniel said.
"Yeah," Liam said. "Meet you here at eight?"
"Guess so," Daniel said. "Fuck all else to do. This village needs some more women in it. Maybe next week we could go into the city. Try and meet some sexy young ladies."
Liam laughed. "I'm up for that," he said. "We've got no hope though. Our ability at talking to the opposite sex is not exactly impressive."
"Yeah I know," Daniel said. "Tragic really. I'm destined to die a virgin in this village." He adjusted his collar and stuffed his hands in his pockets.
"You'll find someone one day Dan," Liam said. "At least you get to live with that hot step sister of yours. Gives you some good wanking material." Liam laughed.
"Eww! Come on mate," Dan said. "That's just wrong." He tried not to let Liam provoke him. He knew he liked winding him up about his step sister.
"Sorry can't help it," Liam said. "Did you see her earlier in those little shorts. Fucking hell!"
"Right I'm going," said Daniel. "I'm not having this conversation." He punched his friend lightly on the arm and left. "See you tomorrow mate," he added over his shoulder.
"See you later," Liam said. "Say hi to your sister for me." He laughed as Daniel turned and stuck both middle fingers up.
"Dickhead," Daniel mumbled as he turned back and walked towards home. Liam had managed to put the image of his sister in his head now, wearing her small denim shorts. Stop it, he thought.
He both hated and enjoyed the dirty thoughts he had about his younger step sister, Olivia. Always feeling ashamed afterwards. Daniel was now 20 and she was 18. She was pretty and she knew it. He shook the thought of her out of his head and continued the short journey home.
He looked around at the quiet streets. Fucking place, he thought. It was Saturday night and the streets were dead. The pub had been full of old people. He was desperate to leave this place and live somewhere more lively.
He had no chance of finding a girlfriend here. His experience with women was limited, and as a twenty year old man his hormones were sending him crazy. There was only so much watching porn and wanking into a tissue you could do.
Espin heard him sigh and smiled as she pushed herself up from her sitting position. She put her hands on her narrow hips. Her long blond hair and short skirt wavered in the light wind.
"Perfect," she said. She launched herself off the spire and dived. As she neared the ground at an exhilarating pace she pulled up at the last minute. Her tiny heart beating fast. Her excitement of the evening to come was evident in other parts of her body too.
She followed Daniel on the short walk to his house. Staying high out of sight. Her almost silent wings undetectable to human ears. She touched herself briefly between the legs, feeling how wet she was. She never wore underwear, she liked the feeling of the wind on her crotch.
"Go away Red," Espin suddenly said loudly. Not enough for the boy below to hear. She had heard the bothersome Naiad gasp lightly as she had touched herself. She knew Serenity had been following her again and was waiting to call her out. The river spirit had taken an annoying interest in her exploits.
Serenity emerged from behind a chimney. Her short red hair flaming bright in the moonlight.
"He's innocent," Serenity said. "Leave him alone." Her flimsy long white dress clung to her slender body as she flew towards Espin.
You can see her nipples, thought Espin. If she wasn't so annoying, she might be worth a fuck. Her eyes traced over Serenity's body.
Serenity stopped and blushed slightly at the look she was getting.
"He needs my help," Espin said, innocently. "He'll be grateful. Trust me."
"It's wrong." Serenity said. "You're making people do stuff against their will."
"You're the one that's wrong," Espin said. "You know I don't have the power to control them. I'm just lowering their inhibitions, freeing their minds to do what they want to do deep down. All humans have the power to resist, they just don't want to."
"There is a difference between a fantasy and what they really want to do," replied Serenity.
"Then why don't they stop themselves then?" Espin said. "Without me that young man down there will never pluck up the courage to get laid. I'm just helping him along."
"He doesn't need the help you're going to give him," Serenity said. "They'll come for you. All this will put you on their radar."
Espin thought for a second, she knew she was pushing her luck, but she remained defiant. "Let them," she said. "They haven't caught me yet."
"Change your ways," Serenity begged. "Try doing something good for once. Let me in and start a bond of trust."
Espin's face changed to anger. Was this nymph for real. Serenity flinched backwards. "Don't you think I've tried in the past to be good," Espin spat. "Been there, done that, and your lot still treat me like an outcast. So I've learnt not to bother."
"You had friends once," Serenity said. "They trusted you. Apparently you were happy."
"And they turned on me!" Espin shouted. Serenity flinched again.
"Did you do what they said you did?" Serenity asked, not giving up.
"What do you care," Espin said. "You won't believe me. Like everyone else."
"Did you do it?" Serenity asked again, pushing Espin. She had a feeling Espin wanted to tell her own side of the story.
Espin studied Serenity carefully. "It's too late," Espin said, a hint of sadness in her voice. "Stop prying into my business Red." Espin flew after the boy, leaving Serenity hovering.
Serenity watched her go, she thought she was making progress.
Espin was angry with herself now. She had almost let her guard down. Not this time she thought, she wasn't going to give them the satisfaction of kicking her out again. She caught up with the young man just as he entered a house.
Olivia was sitting on the sofa in the living room. She was still wearing her small denim shorts and her slender legs were drawn up beside her. Her thigh tattoo was visible. A delicate flower design of two roses amongst their brambles. She had a tight red vest top on. The tattoo had been her latest rebellious act against their parents.
Daniel stood in the doorway. He saw her hard nipples standing firm on her small pert breasts beneath her top. Her long dark hair flowed over her slender shoulder.
Olivia looked over to the doorway and saw him staring. She felt a flutter inside her stomach, but hid it well.
"Hey sis," he managed. Going slightly red.
"What are you looking at," Olivia said. "Keep your perverted looks to yourself. And don't go waking mum and dad up with your wanking." She couldn't help herself.
"Fuck off!" Daniel blurted. "I only came in to say good night. I don't know why I bother."
"Nor do I," Olivia said. She felt slightly ashamed of her behaviour. It wasn't her step brothers fault she wanted him, so why take it out on him. She had been having some pretty filthy dreams about him lately. She had made sure she was around him more, always wanting him to make a move, but he was too innocent.
Dan shook his head, his anger rising. He was trying to think what to say.
"Night night then," Olivia said. Nodding him away with her head. "Fuck off."
Daniel was too angry to speak. He spun away and went upstairs. What a bitch, he thought. "I'll get her back one day," he mumbled, knowing full well he wouldn't. He was too soft and knew it. That made him more angry.
Espin had listened to the exchange through the window. She smiled and flew up to find Daniels bedroom. A plan formed in her head on the way.
Daniel quietly went into his room. His parents were probably asleep down the hall. He stripped to his boxer shorts and flopped down onto his bed. He started thinking about his step sister downstairs in her little shorts, and her hard nipples.
God she looked good in those shorts, he thought. He knew he shouldn't fantasise about her, but he couldn't help it. His cock was constantly hard these days. He fantasised about any female he saw. His sister unfortunately was the one he saw the most.
"And those shorts," he said aloud, shaking his head. He felt himself getting hard just thinking about them. He reached down and felt his hardening cock through his jeans.
He undid his button and zip and pulled his jeans off. He took his socks off, then his t-shirt. He reached into his boxers and took his cock out, starting to stroke it slowly.
Espin, who had flown silently in through the window, was sitting on his curtain rail. She smiled at the sight of the decent sized cock. Well, to her it was massive. She wished she could try one. Unfortunately there weren't any male nymphs. It was quite depressing really, she thought.
Espin waited and watched intently as he wanked himself off with his eyes closed. She let him get into it. Time to see how this one reacts. She hovered over, her tiny wings beating fast and silent. She had her legs crossed like she was sitting on the floor, her small green skirt pushed between her legs.
"Hello," she said. Loud enough for the boy to hear.
Daniel's eyes flew open. He immediately scrambled for his duvet as he looked around wildly. Just as he grabbed the cover his eyes saw the floating thing and he let out a strangled cry. His brain said run, but his body wouldn't move, he was frozen in terror.
Even though Espin looked harmless, the brain can react unpredictably to something it doesn't understand. And a flying tiny young woman was such a thing. To Espin this was always one of the best bits. She took a perverse pleasure out of scaring the shit out of people. No one had actually shit themselves yet though, she thought, disappointingly.
"Don't be scared," Espin said, in her innocent sweet voice. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you jump."
"What.... What.... What...." Dan said. He couldn't talk. He stared. Stunned.
