Shame and self-consciousness momentarily washed over Nora. What was she even thinking? It wasn''t in her habit to act this way. And the place made it even more uncomfortable for her. She had known this National Park for ages and spent multiple hours walking its trails. Connecting with nature.


    Nora grasped onto that last thought. Connecting with nature! Yes, that''s what she was doing that whole week. That''s what made her feel better. And she truly reconnected with the world around her, with her parents. Even with herself in some ways. At least with her past. But she never reconnected with her present.


    Warmth was spreading from within her, from the area near her pubic mound. It lured her and willed her to explore her body like never before.


    Nora touched her flushed cheeks. Then, she went lower, sensing the stiff nipples and the fullness of her breasts. And then, with a decisive motion, she explored even further.


    Nora''s body quivered with anticipation as she reached down between her thighs, feeling the wetness and heat that pulsed through her. The intense arousal was almost overwhelming against the backdrop of the soothing sun and wind. But she was determined to take control and savor every moment of pleasure. With deliberate slowness, she indulged in each sensation, building up her desire until it consumed her whole being.

    Nora alternated between these actions, building up waves of pleasure that crashed over her in an intoxicating rhythm. The heat and wetness pulsing within her was overwhelming, but she refused to slow down, desperate for more. This sensation was pure bliss, and she never wanted it to end.


    With a final, shuddering gasp, she felt the orgasm wash over her, waves of pleasure radiating from her core. As it slowly ebbed away, Nora lay on the warm grass, feeling more connected to herself than she had in weeks.


    The warm sun kissed every inch of her naked body as she spread out like a starfish. The refreshing breeze brought a mix of floral scents into the air, filling her senses with euphoria. She closed her eyes and let herself sink into a peaceful bliss, drifting off into a daydream.


    ***


    Blinking heavily, Nora fought to keep her eyes open, finding herself lying on the grass in the lush green forest of her dreams. She completely lost her bearing for a moment, forgetting what happened moments before she stepped into this slumber.


    But it wasn''t only that. Somehow, the area around Nora was different but familiar in more ways than she expected. It was like she didn''t move far away from the glade where she pleasured herself. But was in a different world.


    The air was alive with the same familiar scent of earth and foliage. And sunlight still filtered through the canopy above, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor.


    Her heart pounded with a mixture of apprehension and hope as Nora looked around, searching for any signs of Sumi. It was then that she caught a flash of movement—a rustle in the underbrush, followed by a figure stepping into the clearing ahead.


    There, bathed in that magical sunlight, stood Sumi, a vision of ethereal grace. Her fox-like ears twitched with playful curiosity, and her eyes sparkled with mischief that spoke volumes.


    Sumi''s gaze swept over Nora''s bare form, lingering on the subtle sheen of sweat and the unmistakable flush of satisfaction that still adorned the woman''s skin like a sign of the lover''s caress.


    The foxkin purred, her voice teasing as a sly smile played at the corners of her lips. "Well, well, someone''s been making the forest jealous," she said, her words laced with playful mockery. "Such a shame I wasn''t here to join in. Or at least to watch. Imagine what we could’ve done together under these trees."


    Sumi took a few steps closer and breathed in the air with deliberate sound.


    "I love your scent, by the way!" she said. "It betrays your recent pleasure, a heady mix of sweat and musk that lingers even from here. Makes me wonder just how much fun you had without me."


    Nora felt a blush creep up her cheeks, a warmth spreading through her that had nothing to do with the sun. "You caught me," Nora replied, her voice somehow both timid and laden with desire. "But can you blame me? The forest has its charms."


    Sumi stepped closer, her movements fluid and feline. "Oh, I can see that," she murmured, her fingers brushing lightly against Nora''s leg. "Though I must admit, I prefer a more... interactive experience. Just imagine, wouldn''t it have been better with some help? My hands are quite skilled, you know."


    Nora''s pulse quickened, her body reacting to the suggestive undertones of Sumi''s words. "Is that an invitation?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.


    Sumi''s laughter was a melodious whisper on the breeze. "Only if you’re ready to handle a foxkin who knows exactly where to touch to make you purr," she retorted, her eyes gleaming with challenge.


    Nora sat up, feeling the cool grass beneath her and the gentle kiss of the wind on her skin. "I think I''ve proven I can handle quite a bit," she said, her tone matching Sumi''s playfulness. "But maybe you should show me what I''ve been missing."


    Sumi''s smile widened, and she leaned in close, her breath warm against Nora''s ear. "With pleasure, but we need to help you settle in first." She measured Nora with her gaze. "And probably find you some clothes first."Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.


    Nora gasped, only now figuring out that all of her gear was left somewhere far-far away. Forgetting all the playfulness of the previous moments, she covered her sex with her hand, smiling shyly at Sumi.


    "Right," said Nora. "Clothes! And all my stuff! Everything is left in the camp back home!"


    "Now, now," said Sumi. “Everything will be alright. And there''s no need to cover up. Every inch of you is delightful. I''ve seen it all and I thoroughly enjoyed the view!"


    ***


    As the initial joy of their reunion began to fade, Nora''s heart plummeted with a sickening realization. A tsunami of anxiety crashed over her, drowning out any sense of peace. She couldn''t breathe, her chest constricted as she began to hyperventilate, each gasp coming faster and more desperate than the last.


    "Oh God," she cried out, feeling the weight of everything she left behind crashing down on her. "I''m so stupid! My clothes aren''t even the biggest of my problems! My work, my apartment...my parents!"


    Panic rose in her voice, suffocating Nora.


    Sumi''s expression shifted from playful to concerned in an instant. She knelt beside Nora, placing a calming hand on her shoulders.


    "Breathe, Nora," she said softly. "It''s okay. I''m sorry if I overdone it with the innuendos… Sometimes I just can''t help myself and my nature spills out. We''ll figure your problems out together."


    Nora tried to focus on Sumi''s soothing presence, but the fear gnawed at her.


    "What if they think something happened to me?" she asked. "And they will think! They will be devastated. What if they call the police? I can''t just disappear without a trace!"


    Sumi gently turned Nora to face her, her fox-like eyes filled with reassurance. "Listen to me," she said firmly. "You''re safe here. I don''t know how to communicate with your world. But you have bridged the distance once, I''m sure you''ll be able to do that again! For now, just take deep breaths and try to calm down."


    Nora nodded, attempting to slow her breathing as Sumi guided her through each inhale and exhale. The tranquil setting of the forest began to seep back into her consciousness, and the immediate panic started to fade.


    "I... I don''t know what came over me," Nora said after a moment, her voice trembling slightly. "It just hit me all at once."


    "It''s alright," Sumi replied, stroking Nora''s hair gently. "Well, it''s obviously not perfect. All these changes can be overwhelming. I don''t know how I would have reacted if I were in your place. But you''re not alone in this. I''m here with you, and we''ll face whatever comes together."


    "Thank you, Sumi," Nora whispered, leaning into the comforting touch. "I don''t know what I''d do without you. And I don''t know why I even deserve your attention and help. But thank you."


    "You don''t have to thank me," Sumi said softly. "But now, let''s find you something to wear, and then we can start figuring out how to pass a message to your parents. One step at a time."


    Nora nodded, feeling a glimmer of hope. "One step at a time," she echoed.


    Seeing that Nora wasn''t as panicked anymore, Sumi rummaged through her backpack and pulled out a thick, fleece blanket.


    "Here," Sumi said. "I don''t have any spare clothes, I didn''t know I''d have to come prepared this way. But I usually take this blanket with me when I leave home for a long time. It should comfort you."


    She wrapped the blanket around Nora''s trembling form and hugged the woman.


    "Everything is going to be alright," said Sumi.


    ***


    After gathering a few large stones to build a fire pit and some twigs and branches to make a small campfire, Sumi lit it with a lighter. Soon, a pot of water was simmering over it. As they waited for it to boil, Sumi opened her backpack and pulled out two mugs.


    "Nora," she said softly. "I think you should know that. I''ve been trying to reach you. All these weeks, I felt a feeble connection but something stopped me from getting through."


    Sumi handed Nora a mug of herbal tea and sat beside her on the log.


    "I know what you are talking about," said Nora. "These were the hardest weeks of my life. I tried everything to get back to this glade. There were many other presences there, in my dreams, but nothing concrete. Nothing I could figure out. I was sure I''ve been losing my mind…!"


    "Now, I''m not even sure what was real and what was just a consequence of those long sleepless nights," Nora continued. "Something tried to speak to me… Once, they told me I had to fill myself with Love. And it felt like Love with a capital L, you know? Things just can''t get any more ridiculous than that, can they? Was it some sort of missionary shit where they try to give you a book that has all answers?!?"


    Nora started laughing helplessly.


    Sumi''s eyes widened, and her mouth dropped open in disbelief. She shook her head and whispered something inaudible to herself.


    "You are scaring me," said Nora. "What is it?"


    "It can''t be...!" Sumi said, now loud enough for Nora to hear. "I felt the spark between us... And the way our hands brushed during our first encounter... It''s impossible."


    This didn''t dissolve Nora''s worries, though.


    "Sumi, please stop mumbling," she said. "I don''t understand. Wasn''t that just some projection of my tired consciousness?"


    "Don''t you see," said Sumi. "So many of the things you experienced recently can be percieved in the same way? No, it''s something much more serious, and I''m a bit scared if I''m being honest."


    "Let me guess, there''s also a God of Love?" Nora asked with a wry smile, not expecting a serious response. "All-powerful and he plays with people''s fates, not caring much if mortals get damaged in the process?"


    Sumi looked at Nora in disbelief. She slowly shook her head.


    "No, not a god..." she said. "But there is a Goddess of Love."


    "Now you are just pulling my leg!" Nora couldn''t believe she was hearing that right.


    "I''m sure," Sumi began explaining, "that it was the Goddess who put me on my way to meet you. And I''m grateful to her! It was a truly fateful moment!"


    "So, you are being serious," said Nora, a frown on her face. "Well… Damn. Should I stop making all the blasphemous jokes from this moment on? Will some powerful being strike me with lightning for my atheistic stance?"


    "I don''t think so," said Sumi. "The Gods of this world aren''t that petty. They have some interests and from time to time may bless a mortal to use them in one way or another. I can''t tell you much, I don''t normally have any business with all that divine stuff. Well, I didn''t normally have to deal with that. Not anymore, obviously, now, that I have you."


    Sumi paused and softly patted Nora on her back.


    " But it seems that it''s exactly your case," Sumi continued. "I don''t have a different explanation for why a person would have been brought from another world to ours."


    "Oh…" sighed Nora. "Like there weren''t enough problems on my plate already. Now there are Gods with their own agendas. And I''m just a cog in that arcane mechanism."
