This story is part one of a much longer erotic fairy 
tale I've started to write, to be called "The Realm 
Betwixt", but it stands on its own. At this time, I'm 
not sure the longer piece will ever be written, but who 
knows?

Gwendolyn's life changed forever the day she drowned.

It was, of course, true that her life had been changing 
gradually in many ways for some time, as is the natural 
order of things. From a carefree little girl -- who 
loved nothing more than to sit perched on the knee of 
her white-haired grandfather, listening with wide-eyed 
wonder to the fantastic tales the old man told, fables 
of secretive elves and towering dragons and mischievous 
fairies, of fair princes and dazzling princesses and 
heroes brave and strong -- the last few years had seen 
her tall, lanky form fill out, flowering and maturing 
as she blossomed into young womanhood. 

No more did the young boys taunt her cruelly as she 
walked along the muddy streets carrying out her chores, 
teasing her in the misguided, malicious way that 
children oft do. Now young men came to pay court to 
her, to praise her many charms, to describe with clumsy 
(though heartfelt) poetry her radiant beauty, all in 
the hopes of stealing a kiss from her delectable lips, 
each one tremulously hoping that his would be the face 
on which those sparkling crystal eyes would shine with 
pleasure and wondrous light.

Gwendolyn's mother, knowing all-to-well the ways of 
young women and their passage into adulthood -- and 
even more so the ways of young men! -- kept a 
protective yet trusting eye on her only daughter, her 
treasure, whom she had raised alone for many years 
since the black night the wolf-riders swept out from 
their craggy lairs in the Whispering Mountains, leaving 
many -- Gwendolyn's father among them -- dead in their 
howling wake. 

The cleverest of Gwendolyn's suitors found hope and 
strategy in this kindly vigil, well-nigh wooing the 
mother as fiercely as the daughter, bringing her small 
gifts of shimmering cloth or semi-precious stones, 
careful to always flatter her as well. While they 
congratulated themselves for their subtlety, the widow 
merely smiled with good humor and thanked them 
politely, hiding her laughter behind her twinkling 
eyes.

And so it had come to pass that one spring, when life 
once again renewed itself in its annual ritual and the 
world was ablaze in riotous bloom, Gwendolyn at last 
gave her heart to another. He was Petr and he was the 
blacksmith's son, a fine and upstanding lad, destined 
to be an important man in the village. Though he had 
seen but twenty summers, he was strong as a snowbear 
and few could stand against him at the festivals, when 
the men, young and old, engaged in spirited bouts of 
wrestling, as well as other tests of strength and 
skill.  

Yet he did not abuse his strength as some would have 
and bully those less fortunate than he; rather, he was 
a young man who had a kind word for all and was always 
ready to help those who needed it, whose unfailing 
spirit of good humor endeared him to all he met, even 
to those who might otherwise have regarded him with 
dark jealousy. It was these qualities of character, and 
not his fine young form, that at length won him the 
heart of the fair Gwendolyn -- and yes, the approval of 
her white-haired mother, who began to secretly look 
forward to the day when she could bounce a wee bairn 
upon her knee.

From clumsy kisses stolen when the gaze of Gwendolyn's 
mother wandered for a moment, Gwen's and Petr's 
youthful fumblings had progressed apace as their 
attraction and liking for each other grew. Petr had 
been an ardent suitor, and a thankful one. 

Though he had much to offer a young woman and had been 
the target of many flirtatious advances from the 
village beauties, in his humble way, the lad was 
constantly amazed and overjoyed that Gwendolyn -- whose 
very form was perfection, whose long blonde tresses 
framed the most kissable face, complete with a pert 
nose lightly sprinkled with freckles, whose budding 
womanly curves filled out her bodice in the most 
delightful way, hinting at the glorious treasures 
waiting to be discovered beneath it -- for some 
inexplicable reason found him as entrancing as he found 
her. Though he could at times scarce believe it, yet 
Petr was no fool and did not question his good fortune; 
rather, he thanked the gods and wooed her with an ardor 
which belied his youth and inexperience.

And so it had come to pass that as Petr became accepted 
by Gwendolyn's mother and it became apparent to all 
that their betrothal was not far distant, the young 
woman was allowed to spend time alone with her suitor, 
out from under her mother's watchful eye. The two young 
lovers joyously reveled in this new found freedom, 
spending hours walking hand-in-hand through the shady 
forests and sunny fields, losing themselves in each 
other's eyes, sometimes telling each other their 
innermost thoughts, sometimes not speaking at all yet 
knowing those thoughts just the same, happy to have 
discovered a love the likes of which it seemed no one 
else could have known.

Though she loved Petr with every fiber of her being, 
Gwendolyn was, at first, loath to betray the trust she 
felt her mother had laid upon her, and though her heart 
sang to be near him and she wanted nothing more to be 
his, in body as she already was in soul, yet Gwendolyn 
preserved her chastity, allowing her lover liberty to 
run his hands over her clothed form, inflaming her, his 
kisses scalding her as they rained down upon her tender 
lips and soft cheeks and the warm hollows of her neck, 
but steadily demurring to disrobe or consummate their 
relationship with the ultimate physical expressions of 
love.

Yet as the fragrant spring nights grew longer and 
summer returned to the land, Gwendolyn found it ever 
harder to refuse his intimate caresses, to fight 
against the feverish urges of her young blood. Finally, 
on her eighteenth birthday, she resisted no more, 
succumbing to her aching desires and allowing Petr to 
be with her in that wondrous manner which she had 
hitherto only dreamt about. The scene of her 
deflowering was a small glade, in which wildflowers 
grew in riotous profusion, their perfume filling the 
noon air with a heady scent that urged her on to wild 
abandon. 

The sleepy glade lay along the gently rippling shore of 
a crystalline blue lake, whose sparking depths seemed a 
mirror reflecting her soul. Many had been the time 
Gwendolyn and Petr had stood along the shores of the 
Lake of Dreams before that magical day, gazing out over 
the deep waters, its name apt as they stared in 
silence, alone in their thoughts but taking comfort in 
each other's presence.

Though the lake was idyllic, not a soul had ever 
intruded upon their solitude, for the lake was 
whispered by the elders to be a dangerous place, dark 
and mysterious. There, the villagers trod but rarely, 
never staying to tarry beside the calm waters but 
passing it as quickly as they might. Many had been the 
stories Gwen's grandfather had wove about the Lake of 
Dreams, stories which she had dismissed (as she had 
most of the tales she loved) as the fantastic 
imaginings of an old man's mind, though in this 
instance, the same stories were told by others in the 
village as well. 

It was said that unwary travelers to the lake -- 
particularly those who came upon its shores at night -- 
would hear the sirens calling them, entrancing them to 
enter the inviting waters which would enfold them like 
a lover, locking them in its eternal embrace. And 
indeed, Gwendolyn could recall, in her lifetime, an 
instance where a village lad had disappeared whilst 
returning home one evening, his path certain to have 
taken him past the lake. Though none knew his fate, and 
while there were many more prosaic dangers that could 
have claimed his life along the forest trail he rode, 
yet the elders in her village knew that it was the lake 
that had taken him and he was seen no more.

Though Gwendolyn had, with the wisdom of youth, 
dismissed the tales she had heard of the lake, yet she 
had been loath to go there, until Petr revealed that he 
had been to its shores many times, claiming that its 
beauty -- though less than her own! -- was wondrous to 
behold. As a young man, he had first gone to the Lake 
of Dreams on a dare. He confessed to her that as he had 
approached that first time, the stories he had heard 
had nearly unmanned him and caused him to turn back, 
but then his courage rose within him and he pressed 
forward until at last he stood ankle-deep in its 
waters. 

After a short while, he realized that the stories were 
just that -- stories -- and that he had nothing to 
fear. He had returned to the lake on many subsequent 
occasions, finding it an idyllic spot in which to 
relax, far from the cares of the ordinary world. 
Emboldened by his words, and secure in the knowledge 
that Petr would never allow any harm to befall her, 
Gwendolyn had accompanied her love to the lake and been 
entranced. There, she and Petr had discovered the 
grotto that they termed "their secret spot," belonging 
only to them, and it was there that Gwen and Petr first 
explored the mysteries of the joining of woman and man.

It was at this hidden retreat that Gwendolyn found 
herself one warm and sultry eve in her eighteenth 
summer, waiting for her lover to appear. Inhaling 
deeply of the invigorating night air, she thought back 
to that momentous day, scant weeks earlier, and smiled, 
the enigmatic smile of a young woman who has tasted -- 
or believes she has tasted -- of all life has to offer. 

Though their first experiences had been in the golden 
light of day, lately, as the sweltering heat of the 
days grew to seemingly rival that of the forge at which 
Petr toiled for his living, she and her beloved had 
taken to meeting there in the cooler summer night, the 
soft silvery glow of the moons washing over their 
writhing forms as they feverishly coupled on the grass 
or splashed in the shallows, their cries of abandon 
echoing over the gently rippling waters of the lake, 
their slick sweat washed away by the waves.

She and Petr had arranged to meet at the glade again 
this evening, but while she had arrived, Petr had 
apparently tarried at his forge and had yet to appear. 
In fairness to the young man, it was more that Gwen was 
early than that he was late for their tryst. As she 
strolled barefoot through the tall grasses, breathing 
deeply of the softly swaying flowers -- their 
tantalizing scent wafting in the gentle breeze -- Gwen 
could scarce contain herself as she looked forward with 
eager anticipation to the lovemaking to come. 

For a while she had resisted Petr's advances for some 
time, once she had given in to them, the young woman 
had discovered that she was a deeply sensual creature. 
She thrilled to the touch of her lover's lips and 
tongue and fingers on her soft skin, eagerly stroking 
her burning flesh, sliding along to plumb and taste her 
core and coaxing climax after delicious climax from her 
trembling young body. She reveled in her ability to 
give him the same sinful pleasure, loving the feel of 
his excited hardness in her mouth, his salty essence 
spraying across her flickering tongue. And most of all 
she delighted in the feel of his solid manhood prying 
apart her netherlips, penetrating her moist body to its 
depths and filling her to near bursting with exquisite 
sensations as she pulled him tighter to her, raking her 
fingernails across his heaving buttocks.

As she waited for him, her mind racing along its 
libidinous course, the sound of the waves rhythmically 
slapping against the shore seemed to call to her, 
inviting the young woman to enter the warm and 
comforting water. Without realizing she was doing so, 
she found herself listening to the pulsing beat, almost 
certain that she could make out words, if only she 
tried hard enough. 

Though she knew it was crazy, in the back of her mind 
she felt that the lake was watching her -- had watched 
her and Petr through all of those long, sultry summer 
days and nights as they writhed along its shores and, 
their lusts temporarily sated, cooled the flames of 
their passion in its depths. Given the erotic tableaus 
the lake had witnessed, the part it had played in their 
post-lovemaking games -- and sometimes, their 
lovemaking itself -- it had entwined itself into her 
unconscious until it had become an intimate friend. As 
if the lake had called her to it, she meandered through 
the clearing towards the shore, her deft fingers slowly 
unlacing the stays securing her dress. 

Reaching the edge of the water, she grasped the 
garment's hem and lifted it sensually above her slim 
waist, past the swelling mounds of her breasts and over 
her head, mussing her locks, her body arching lazily as 
a cat as she disrobed, as if to teasingly display her 
charms to her lover before her. Yet no human eyes 
alighted upon her curved form; no voices cried out in 
pleased wonderment at the alluring glories she had 
revealed. Only the Lake of Dreams stared at the supple 
young woman, and its counsel it kept to itself.

Slowly Gwen turned in the cool night breeze, the 
discarded dress falling, forgotten, to the gently 
swaying grasses behind her, lifting herself on her 
tiptoes, arms outstretched as if she were one of the 
winged-folk about to take flight. Well aware that it 
inflamed Petr when she wore naught beneath her dress, 
the young woman had sought to please him. The silvery 
light from the moons shone and reflected off her nude 
form with an eerie luminescence; a veritable goddess, 
her smooth skin seemed to glow from within. 

Gwen's blonde hair, slightly disheveled, lay in waves 
over her shoulders, the winds taking pleasure in toying 
with loose strands. Her young breasts, firm and supple, 
were outthrust proudly as she slowly pivoted, their 
undersides cast into shadow, the breeze caressing her 
hardening nipples like a lover, causing the most 
delightful sensations to dart through her taut body. 
Beneath those supple mounds, past the flat of her 
stomach and the delicate little hollow of her belly 
button, a trimmed tuft of hair momentarily concealed in 
the evening light the glorious jewel which lay at the 
juncture of her thighs. 

The cheeks of her rounded ass quivered slightly, 
delightfully, as she spun around, unconsciously and 
without shame displaying her exquisite body to the 
world, arms spread wide as if in supplication, a mute 
entreaty to an imaginary lover. Her thighs and calves 
taut with the strain of maintaining her balance on 
tiptoe, her slim feet digging, spread toes squishing, 
into the soft, moist loam at the edge of the loch, an 
observer stumbling onto the scene would have sworn he 
beheld a water nymph, arisen from the murky depths of 
the lake to gambol upon its shores in naked splendour.

Slowly Gwen trode into the lake, its welcoming waves 
lapping first at her feet and ankles, then rising to 
caress her calves, her knees, her thighs. With a fluid 
motion she dove forward, cleaving the water, immersing 
herself in its comforting embrace. Surfacing, she 
kicked strongly, slim feet churning up a foam, driving 
her away from the shore. After a few moments, she 
rolled and came to rest on her back. Floating free, 
bobbing gently upon the waves, Gwen stared up at the 
brilliant night sky, aflame with glittering jewels. Her 
long hair floated in intricate patterns upon the gently 
rippling surface of the lake, creating the illusion of 
a gossamer ha-lo around her head; pale breasts with 
their engorged, darkened centers glistened in the 
moons' light as the water dripped from her. The warm 
water embraced her, stroking her like an attentive 
lover, tiny tendrils licking out and kissing her flesh 
in a thousand secret places.

Though Gwen had swum with Petr in the lake many times 
'ere this night, yet she had never felt its presence 
more keenly. While the thought did not penetrate her 
consciousness, deep within she felt, almost 
instinctively, that on some primal level it was aware 
of her, that hidden eyes watched her, desired her. The 
lapping liquid played softly at the portals of her 
womanhood, splashing gently across those velvety lips 
and the tender little clitoris hidden in their scented 
folds, dewing in little beads on her soft maiden hairs, 
pooling with moonlit sparkles like a jewel in the 
hollow of her belly button. Closing her eyes, 
luxuriating in the sensual languor suffusing her body, 
Gwen's mind drifted back, unbidden, to the first time 
she had disrobed upon the shores of the lake, the day 
that Petr had taken her maidenhead and she had 
completed her journey from girl to woman. 

Floating calmly, she languidly reached down betwixt her 
dripping thighs with one hand, not so much stroking her 
sensitive charms as spreading the petals of her swollen 
labia with her fingers, to allow the all-knowing waters 
greater access to the heated flesh. A sigh of 
satisfaction escaped her parted lips as she bobbed on 
the gentle swells, audible proof that the lake's caress 
was making the young woman as wet inside as it was 
outside.

As the water stimulated her, Gwen smiled to remember 
that first time with Petr, the eager anticipation 
mingled with trepidation -- worried that it would hurt, 
wildly curious about how it would feel to be filled by 
Petr's manhood, worried that she would be clumsy, not 
good enough, and that Petr would cease to love her. In 
the end, all of her fears had proved groundless, for 
though indeed she had been clumsy, as had Petr, her 
wildest imaginings had been insufficient to anticipate 
the pleasures to be born of such clumsy fumblings. 

Her lover had kissed her gently all the while whilst 
disrobing her, one article of clothing at a time. As 
each new morsel of flesh was revealed to the golden 
light of day, he had slid his lips to it, kissing and 
nibbling on it while stroking her trembling body with 
his hands -- roughened from his trade yet now seeming 
to be soft as the clouds -- causing the most delightful 
sensations to dart through her excited form. 

Gwen's head had spun when at last her virginal breasts 
lay exposed to the summer air and Petr had captured a 
cherry-red nipple between his lips. Why had she waited 
so long!? He alternated his oral caresses, sliding his 
mouth and tongue from one glorious mound to the other, 
gently laving them with his tongue, sucking on her 
hardening peaks, drawing soft sighs of rapture from the 
young woman's parted lips, teasing her and drawing out 
her excitement.

When at last he had delved betwixt her thighs and there 
found her damp portal, Gwen felt that surely she must 
die from pleasure. His lips and tongue feasted on her 
fragrant bounty, parting her slick lower lips and 
tasting her heated core, stabbing into her until she 
exploded in frenzied spasms upon his face, arching up 
off the ground, clenching his head so tightly with her 
strong thighs that they were both gasping for breath by 
the time she fell back, wonderfully sated, upon the 
sward. 

Though she was eager to repay his oral ministrations in 
kind, her lover could wait no more. Hearing her 
staccato cries as she came -- feeling her clench at 
him, her fingers entwined in his coal-black hair, 
pulling his face harder against her with her hands -- 
had fired Petr's desire 'til it was as hot as the 
molten iron he worked in his forge. Much as he would 
have loved for his wonderful Gwen to have used her 
mouth on him, that was a delight which would wait for 
later that day. His need to make her his own was 
paramount. 

In an erotic haze Gwen had watched Petr rise above her, 
her legs opening wide of their own volition to accept 
him, her flower brazenly, unabashedly on display for 
him to pluck. Flushed with the heat of the day and the 
moment, it had seemed an eternity to Gwen as he 
tremblingly lowered himself upon her, his erect shaft 
nudging momentarily at the sopping entrance before 
slipping hesitantly inside.

Her gasps came louder as he slowly sheathed himself in 
her velvety wetness. The momentary pain she felt when 
he broke through the last of her barriers was quickly 
replaced with intense sensations of delight streaming 
through her as he plunged in and out of her core, 
timidly at first, then harder and harder, the speed of 
his thrusts increasing as Petr's lust drove him 
spiraling towards the sky. 

Impaled on his rod, Gwen writhed in ecstasy on the 
grass beneath him, her fingers clutching at the sod, 
tearing loose great clumps of grasses and wildflowers 
as he drove her once more to passion's precipice and 
forced her over, senses falling and flying. Their 
mingled cries filled the glade, the smell of sex mixing 
with the hazy perfume of the flowers, as Gwen exploded 
around his shaft. The feel of his love's sheath 
clenching around him as she came, the sight of her 
angelic face contorted with lust as she lashed from 
side to side beneath him, drove Petr over the edge. 

Burying himself in her to the hilt, his ejaculation 
poured from him stronger than anything he'd experienced 
before, until he felt that surely he had poured his 
life essence into his lady love. Exhausted, the two 
lovers had lain panting side by side, arms and legs 
entwined, tiny rivulets of perspiration mingling, 
cooling them. Yet with the resiliency of youth, they 
were soon enjoying the pleasures of the flesh once 
more, and the day would not end before Petr had paid 
salty tribute not only to Gwen's moist womanhood yet 
again, but also had spent in her zealous mouth.

The remembrance of that wonderful day was so vivid, the 
warm waters toying at her slit so rhythmic and 
enticing, that Gwen felt an orgasm welling up within 
her body, like a bubble trapped for aeons deep in the 
lake suddenly released and rising up, up through the 
murky depths to explode with a splash on the surface, 
dying as it was freed. Eyes closed, concentrating on 
the pleasure she felt, the young woman did not realize 
that her beloved had at last reached the glade and, 
seeing her glistening nude form gently bobbing upon the 
waters of the lake, was swiftly divesting himself of 
his clothing. Her gleaming body was entrancing, 
capturing Petr, drawing him in as if she were a 
sorceress who had laid a glamour upon him, and his 
erect manhood stood as solid evidence of his desire for 
her as he completed disrobing.

Their minds on the delights of the flesh, it took both 
of them by surprise. One moment Gwen was floating -- 
both mentally and physically -- with Petr preparing to 
join her; the next moment slim hands broke through from 
beneath the surface of the lake, grasping the young 
woman in a steely grip and dragging her beneath its 
waters! Snapped out of her erotic reverie, the shocked 
young woman flailed around, a scream forming on her 
lips. 

The water, formerly as attentive as a lover, now 
flooded cold and lifeless into her mouth, choking her 
as she coughed and gasped, her thoughts of escape now 
overridden by the overwhelming desire to breath. Her 
head spun; the glittering light of the stars blinked 
out as she spiralled downwards into the inky blackness, 
to be replaced by flashing lights and thunderous 
roaring, seemingly from within her own mind, before 
that too faded and there was only oblivion.

From the shore, Petr looked on in horror as Gwen sank 
beneath the waves. An anguished cry, as of an animal 
wounded by a woodsman's arrow, split the clear night 
air as he galvanized into action, sprinting into the 
lake before diving forward. Scant few seconds had 
passed until his strong, clean strokes brought him to 
the spot where Gwen had disappeared. 

Filling his lungs, he dove repeatedly into the now-
sinister waters, but in the absence of sunlight, the 
gloom was impenetrable. Yet the young man refused to 
readily give up, to accept that his love had been torn 
from him before his eyes. It was not until exhaustion 
forced him back onto shore -- his gut-wrenching sobs 
mingling with the cries of the night birds that Gwen 
had loved so dear -- that he was forced to admit that 
she was gone.

He returned with many villagers the following day to 
search for her, but none save Petr and Gwen's mother 
would enter the lake, which once again bore a placid 
face. Yet though they searched the length of the day -- 
until the shadows of the swaying trees had grown long, 
as had the fears of the villagers, who were growing 
steadily more insistent that they must be away from 
this accursed place by nightfall -- no trace of the 
young woman was found. That night hushed voices around 
the village concurred -- the Lake of Dreams had claimed 
another victim.

And in the grotto where he and Gwen had frolicked, Petr 
the blacksmith's son built a memorial to his love, 
fashioning her form in wrought iron as best he could, 
garlanded in wild iron flowers, serenaded by gleaming 
iron birds, cleverly constructed so that when the wind 
that rustled the long grasses caressed it, a low, 
haunting note sounded along the shore. 

Though he visited this shrine often (though never at 
night), Gwen's mother came but rarely, and the other 
villagers not at all. And the summer eventually turned 
to fall, and the trees lost their golden leaves and the 
white snow fell, chill blasts screaming down from the 
jagged peaks, and life in the village resumed its 
normal routine. 

In the fullness of time, Petr assumed the mantel of 
village blacksmith. He treated Gwen's mother like his 
own and never looked at another woman with love in his 
eyes again.
