				The legend of the Forest Guardian was one with deep roots in the small village of Sapphire’s Edge. It was said that the spirits of the forest angered by humanity’s disrespect called upon the dangerous forces to create him. His job was simple, to protect the sacred woods from the threat human’s posed. That meant they were not allowed to hunt, cut down or pick anything inside or else they risked never being seen or heard from again. They did not believe of course, at least at first, but when they lost a dozen hunters in as many weeks they quickly changed their tune. <br><br>Now years later no one ventured in, it was taboo, even stepping one foot inside was grounds for banishment by the elders. The figure standing on the edge of the forest as the sun set beyond the mountain was aware of this.&nbsp; Her name was Talia, a clever, kind young woman who was the daughter of the only fletcher in the village.&nbsp; Talia’s father had grown ill, wood rot was the name of the disease and the only way to cure it was with a very specific herb, an herb that only grew in the sacred woods. <br><br>Unarmed and with a basket and lantern she took one deep breath and crossed the border into the woods. Talia stood there for a moment expecting to be immediately snatched up by some vicious beast but aside from the sounds of small animals scurrying in the underbrush there was nothing. Invigorated by this observation the dark haired woman took another step and another until she was walking at a brisk pace lantern in hand. At least for a time. <br><br>The deeper she ventured in the quieter it got and the lantern cast wicked shadows on the trees and bushes. She could feel the unease deep in her bones, she should not be here, and this was not a place human feet were meant to walk. The feeling slowed her down and made her jump at every rustle or crack, even the ones her own boot clad feet made. The clearing was not far now, she was certain.

				Over the years, the legend of the Guardian had become somewhat muddled from reality. The important parts remained; he was sent by a higher power, was stronger than any man or beast, made a trespasser disappear in an instant, but the details of his form varied from person to person. Some suggested the Guardian was a beautiful siren who sucked the souls out of those who heard the song. Others believed it to be a brutish wolf, scattering the entrails of its victims over the leafy soil. But the warning, drilled in for generations, was to never go near the forest, <em>especially</em> at night. The night was when the Guardian was most active and alert. Apparently Talia was rather desperate to risk such an adventure, as she stepped into the boundary of the forest. <br><br>The further the human walked, the strange the forest seemed to become. Twisting trees and luminescing flowers warped what should have been a clear path, casting strange shadows in every direction. Her lantern would help dispel the darkness, but would not be enough to put her mind at ease. The lingering sense of her being watched was ever present, as she approached the grove it became almost overpowering. Though she had light, every shadow seemed like it had a pair of eyes staring at her, threatening her… And yet she made it to the clearing without anything leaping at her. <br><br>Before her hands could even touch the place where the plant grew, she would feel something suddenly wrapping itself around her waist. It pinned her arms to her sides and squeezed painfully, forcing her to drop what she was carrying. Fire was unlikely in the forest as the ground was soaked through from recent rains. Whatever was wrapped around her was warm, strangely slick without being wet. After a moment of squeezing, she was jerked suddenly back into the forest, and a moment later up into the air. Branches crashed as she was lifted up to the canopy, the thing twisting around her body further until her legs were pinned as well. When she finally stopped, she would be staring into the face of the Guardian, slitted eyes glaring at the human. <br><br>“Who dares?” The creature asked, a serpentine tongue flicking out in the air. He was coiled around a massive tree, his claws gripping the wood to support his large frame while holding the human aloft. “This forest is forbidden to humans… What reason has driven you to trespass on this sacred earth?”<br>

				“No!” she cried out as something wrapped around her upper body causing her to release both basket and lantern. Talia had been so close! Just a few more feet and she would’ve had the herb and been able to leave. She should have known the guardian would find her, he always found trespassers. It was as though the forest itself told him where to look.&nbsp; Kicking out she tried to break free, but whatever it was wrapped around her too tightly. <br><br>It lifted her in the air without any struggle high into the trees with their strange twisting branches. The smaller ones caught on her bare legs and arms leaving angry scratches that beaded with blood and tearing the skirt she wore in several places. Then more coils wrapped around her and her heart began to pound in her chest, was he going to kill her? She could feel the strength in his grip, the slightest twitch and he could break her spine.&nbsp; <br><br>“Please forgive me Great Forest Guardian.” She managed to get out in a trembling voice. “My name is Talia, I’m just a humble fletcher’s daughter. I’m of no risk to you or the animals that dwell here.” Even in the dim darkness she knew what he was, a snake, a massive snake that looked to be a mix of man and reptile. This was far from the siren she’d expected and that made him twice as frightening.<br><br>“I…I needed the herb to heal my father I was only going to take a single bundle I swear to you. He dying and no one can cure him without it. Surely you can forgive my trespass just this once?” her dark eyes were pleading even in the darkness he would be able to see it. Talia had come into the forest at night, knowing the risk, unarmed and with the intent of taking just one bundle of herbs. She hoped that perhaps this serpent had some understanding of mercy.&nbsp;

				The snake’s eyes narrowed slightly, bringing the helpless human closer to his face. She spouted some information about needing to pick one of the flowers for a cure for her father, which made the snake turn his large body and head to look into the clearing. “Hm. Another human willing to pillage the land for their own gain. One of the rarer blessings in this forest, no less. Still…” It was much less selfish than he was used to hearing, or had been used to hearing. The forest had gotten rather lonely since he started doing his job. He turned back to her, letting his tongue flick out in the air around her. This was followed by a grunt, before he spoke again.<br><br>“I will allow you to take what you need—but no more—if you are willing to do as I say,” He started, loosening his grip on her just a bit, enough that it didn’t feel like her life could be snuffed out in a moment. “First, you must not tell anyone that you were here. I don’t want more people poking their heads in, thinking they can take what they need again. Unless you want people to disappear again…” He smirked at her, “Second, we’re going to play a bit of a game.” Suddenly, his grip relaxed entirely, sending her plummeting towards the ground.<br><br>What felt like an eternal moment of freefall was replaced by powerful arms catching the young woman, the snake laughing at her reaction as he slithered down the tree with her in his arms. When they reached the bottom, he set her on her feet, putting his hands on his hips. It was in the clearer light of the moon that she could see more of him, how much bigger than a human he was, the dark markings on his body and hood. Also that he was fully nude, not a hint of clothing to be found, though nothing dangled at his hips as she might expect of a human man. “Remove those tattered rags,” He said, motioning to the little covering she had. “Are you a hunter? I thought most of your feminine kind chose to cover themselves up a bit more… Modestly.”<br>

				Talia couldn’t help but smile the moment the large snake agreed to let her take the herb.&nbsp; Perhaps he did know mercy? “I had no intention of telling a soul Forest Guardian.” She responded softly “My village would banish me if they knew, the forest is forbidden.” Likely, in part, due to the large male before her, the rest of it was out of a desire to keep the forest spirits at peace.&nbsp; The moment they started clear cutting, hunting and farming the resources everyone feared they would return, and this time they would not be so forgiving. <br><br>She yelped, a very unladylike sound, when he suddenly dropped her from the tops of the trees. The sensation of falling was terrifying. Wind rushed past her ears filling her head with a dull roaring sound and she closed her eyes expecting to meet the ground and feel bones breaking but the sensation never came. Instead she found herself in a pair of strong arms cradling her much smaller body to his chest before setting her down. Her dark brown gazed drifted down his body lingering perhaps a bit too long on his uncovered waist. <br><br>When he ordered she removed her cloths she couldn’t help but look at him as though he’d gone mad. The outfit he was commenting about consisted of a dark blue skirt that clung to her upper thighs held in place by a knot on either side, a pair of knee high boots and a top the consisted of a series of leather straps that covered her breasts and not much else.&nbsp; “I’m an archer not a hunter and these cloths….I choose them because there was less of a chance of getting caught on something.” It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now she was second guessing herself. <br><br>Why he wanted her nude was beyond her but she didn’t have a choice in the matter. At best he would refused to give her the herb if she didn’t, at worst he would kill her and leave her body on the edge of the forest as a warning.&nbsp; With a great heaving sigh she gently untied the skirt and the small scrap of cloth that served as underwear revealing her cleanly shaven mound which was quickly covered by crossed legs. Next came the top, the leather straps too time to unwind but bit by bit her full, perky breasts were bared to him, nipples growing tight in the cool forest air. “See I’m completely unarmed.” She stated covering her chest with her arm. “May I please put my clothing back on?” maybe he was just making sure she wasn't planning on trying to kill him?

				“Hrm…” He seemed thoughtful at the idea of an archer, for some reason, though he didn’t elaborate on it. “A fine form,” He finally complemented, and in the same moment, the tip of his tail whipped around and stole away the small bundle, stowing them away in the forest elsewhere. He smirked wider at her reaction, sliding a bit nearer to her. “Oh come now, don’t be so modest. How often do you get to run about without anything on?” He thumped his chest with one fist, “Works rather well for me, and I make laps around this place all night long. Now then, the game.”<br><br>His entire form encircled the area around the plant she needed, a neat ring of pure muscle with a rather talkative head. “If you can sneak up on me, without me noticing, and pluck just a single petal off of your flower, I return everything to you and you walk out with your life-saving bundle, nothing further tonight. If I manage to detect you, well… Fair maidens don’t often visit, you understand? You’ll just keep me company a while. You’ll still walk out of here with your bundle either way.” He grinned at her. Mischievous bastard, but what other choice did she have? “Finally, I’ll allow you one handicap. You may specify a sense I’m not allowed to use, and I’ll do my best to disable it. A blindfold, for example, if you didn’t wish me to see. If none of this is agreeable… I’ll return your things, but you’ll not set foot near the plant, nor near this forest again, lest you wish to be my next meal.”<br>

				He wanted to play…a game? Surprised was evident on her features. Of all the things she expected him to want her nude for a game had not been one of them. To see if she was unarmed yes, maybe to make sure she wouldn’t try to run until she heard his terms, but a game? She listened to him remaining silent as he told her the terms. The Forest Guardian wanted her to try and steal a petal with his massive form circling around the clearing? Snakes were born predators even if she took away his sight or his sense of smell his other senses would compensate. <br><br>“Very well.” She stated after a moment of consideration. “As I have no other choice in the matter I agree. For my handicap I desire that you mask your sense of smell.” A strange request most would go with eyes, but snakes hunted by smell as surely as they did by sight. In fact her father told her they rely more so on their sense of smell.&nbsp; It would be easier to fool sight rather than smell. After all the shadows were quite dark and many trees branches hovered over the clearing. <br><br>After that she hid away in the forest giving him the chance to do as she asked and climbing a nearby tree. It was a bit difficult nude she could feel the bark biting into her skin and brushing over uncomfortable areas.&nbsp; As silently as she could she moved from on tree to the next jumping from branch to branch like a ghost until she had a view of the clearing as well as his large form circling around it. Grabbing a pine cone she threw it over to the other side of the clearing where it rustled in the underbrush. Hopefully that would distract him long enough for her to jump down and grab a petal.

				“Interesting choice! Most people would have said sight…” He moved to assemble a small bundle of vine, wrapping it around his mouth to seal it shut. He was more snake than man in this case; his nostrils served only to breathe, not to smell. All the tongue flicking was how he gathered scent in the air. When he settled back, she had slipped away, and it gave him a moment to get ready for her shot. He pulled the fleshy hood on his head back to give him better peripheral vision and positioned the tip of his tail near the flower, slowly waving it back and forth in the air. <br><br>Unfortunately for her, the archer hadn’t seemed to consider the sixth sense of a snake: A sense of heat. Somewhat related to sight, it allowed him to check areas that his eyes couldn’t be certain of, to make sure that someone or something was there. Case in point, a soaring pinecone. His head turned in the direction of the noise but he seemed sluggish to do so. He quickly scanned the spot and didn’t spy anything over the heat of the plants, and a naked human body was quite obvious amongst the shrubs. He knew that the noise wasn’t actually her. He turned his head in a few different directions, before feigning interest in the pinecone’s direction. He had picked up her position in the tree, and felt like having a bit of fun with the game. <br><br>

				Talia’s adrenaline was pumping as she tried to remain stationary on the thick branch of a tree that hung over the clearing.&nbsp; It had been ages since she felt something other than the bleak depression associated with her father’s disease. This was fun, more than fun, it was almost thrilling. This Forest Guarding was fascinating, such an attractive mix of man and snake. When his attention was on the pine cone, or so she assumed she took the opportunity to lower herself down one branch in preparation of jumping down to grab the flower. <br><br>The archeress watched him for several more minutes making sure his head was turned completely away from her and began to creep out onto the branch. It creaked and began to bow beneath her weight, in the silence of the forest it might as well have been a scream. <br><br>Knowing she was about to lose her chance she jumped down and frantically reached out to grab a single petal. All she needed to do was grab it before he grabbed her but it seemed it was not meant to be. She’d misjudged and her fingers grasped at air less than a centimeter away from the flower itself. Talia had just lost her chance. Now she was going to be at his mercy.

				The big snake turned as she fell, attention drawn by the rustling of the leaves. A quick glance at the situation and he could see that she would be falling short. A drop from a higher branch was not a fun landing, even if it wouldn’t be fatal. His body twisted around in a whirl of brown, sliding under her body at nearly the last possible second. He grunted loud as her weight forced the air out of his lungs, but at least she handed on something a bit softer than hitting the grass. His chest thumped strongly under her as he breathed rapidly, spending a bit more energy than he was used to for the evenings. <br><br>His hands came up and undid the binding around his mouth, sucking in a big mouthful of the cool night air. His tongue flailed about to get a sense of smell again, while his arms suddenly wrapped over her. “Mm…” He sounded pleased, a warm form in the cool night. Being cold blooded, it was nice to simply have her there. “Well, looks like I win. You gave a good effort at it…” His head finally tilted down towards her, a smile forming on his lips. Suddenly, his muzzle was against her face, scaly lips pressed to hers and a bizarre forked tongue pressing against them. His hands wandered down and held her around her midriff, showing strange intimacy that was quite unlike the legends said. She was supposed to be gobbled up, but he seemed much more interested in her than that.<br>

				The young woman was thankful when he caught her, the way she'd been falling would've resulted with a broken arm or wrist. "Are you okay?" Talia questioned surprised a tiny thing like her managed to knock the wind out of such a large being. Of course it didn’t seem to affect him too much as he recovered quickly once he untied his mouth. <em>This is a bit…strange</em> Talia found herself thinking.<em> Why isn’t he killing me, or eating me, or whatever it is he’s supposed to do? </em> <br><br>Instead he was embracing her, his body delightfully cool as it pressed against her own heated flesh. It felt…nice, comforting even. Was this all a plot to lull her into a false sense of security? Was he going to wait until she relaxed before eating her? “You can put me down n…” whatever she was going to say was cut off when he suddenly kissed her, the strange forked tongue brushing against her plump lips. Surprised caused her to open her mouth and her hands clenched uselessly against his bare chest. It wasn’t bad, in fact she rather liked it and teasingly brushed her own tongue against his.&nbsp; <br><br>Eventually she needed to breathe so she pulled away a slight flush staining her cheeks. “I’m under the impression you don’t plan on killing me Forest Guardian.” she stated. “Unless you always kiss your meals before you eat them?” she was still a bit uneasy around him as though she expected him to grow fangs and bite her but she really couldn’t do much held as she was. Beneath that unease however, a great amount of respect and awe seemed to shine in her dark brown eyes as she gazed at him. How could she be afraid of someone so fascinating?

				“I’m quite fine, you’re the one to be worried about,” He said as his lips pulled back, rather pleased that she had timidly returned the kiss. He laughed a bit as his tail began to coil up loosely behind her, “I did tell you win or lose, you’re walking out of here with your cure. No, it’s rare for my prey to even realize what’s happened.” He brought a hand up to her face, stroking her cheek softly before leaning her back against the muscular mound. A comfortable seat, at least. “I must confess, it’s been… almost never since I saw a young maiden. I can’t help myself but enjoy the company a bit longer, since I’ve won the bet.” <br><br>He loomed over her and kissed her again, grasping at her hands. A moan came over him as, down around his hips, a special cluster of scales parted, revealing bright red flesh. Shortly after, a thick rod expanded out from the opening, a huge member that matched up perfectly with his form. It was veiny, and the tip flared like a speartip, looking familiar and alien at the same time. The head settled on her belly while they kissed, and he was prepared to hold her a little more tightly if she tried to get away. If she didn’t, well, the soft skin of her stomach was certainly enjoyable. He wondered what it might be like to have her on the thing.<br>

				Talia cocked her head to the side when he spoke of how long it had been since he dealt with a woman. If she remembered her legends right most of the hunters that vanished had been men, at the time women were thought to be skilled in only cooking, cleaning and raising children. Any women he saw would’ve been at the edge of woods near the river where they washed their cloths and bathed. Out of his territory and thus he would’ve only been able to watch them from afar. It made her heart ache knowing that the brave Guardian of the forest had been without company for such a long time. Surely even a creature like him needed the touch of another living being from time to time. <br><br>She couldn’t help by smile softly when he cupped her cheek, it was such a gentle gesture. A soft gasp escaped her mouth when he kissed her again. This time she responded a bit quicker parting her lips and flicking her tongue invitingly against his thinner one. “Ah…” she made a surprised sound when something large and hard pressed against the smooth skin of her stomach. Was that his? Surely not, it felt so large against her. Then again he was a very large snake….so it only made sense his endowment would be large as well. <br><br>Not wanting to break the kiss just yet she opened her eyes and gazed down and sure enough it was what she thought it was. Spirits above he was enormous! An unexpected thrill raced up her spine and her nipples grew tight. She found herself wondering how it would feel inside her, if it would even fit. The surprise caused her to tense, but she didn’t pull away. One because she was quite comfortable nestled in his coils and two he had a hold of her hands if she tried to move he’d just yank her back.&nbsp; The last thing she wanted to do was anger him. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

				The movement of his body brought himself a bit of stimulation as he rubbed against her. In the midst of kissing, the tip of his member began to leak precum, a thick fluid that drizzled down to lightly coat and lubricate his member. He pulled back from the kissing and released one of her hands, reaching down to cup the space between her legs. Two of his fingers worked her slit apart, while his middle finger sought its way inside of her. His eyes drifted down to her perked breasts, a smile forming across his lips. His head dipped down just slightly and his forked tongue slipped out, flicking at her nipple before he enveloped it in his mouth. <br><br>She felt like putty in his hands, yielding to his touch and desire. At least, that was how he was sensing things. He closed his eyes as he sucked at her body, fingering her slowly. His head swapped to her other side, giving each breast equal treatment, as he realized how small she was compared to him. His need was flaring up fiercely, but a creeping nervousness built in the back of his head. If she couldn’t take him, might he hurt her on accident? As the forest Guardian, he shouldn’t have cared what happened to a human… But she seemed so willing, selfless. How could he bring harm to that kind of a being?<br><br>His head came back, looking her in the eyes. “I guess I’m somewhat intimidating, huh?” He said, pulling his hand away from her sex. He licked it clean; if he could blush through his scales, he’d be burning red. “Marvelous…”<br>

				Her now freed hand came up to her mouth where she bit down on her knuckle to keep herself from crying out as a single digit slipped inside her slick channel. An obvious flush covered her cheeks and her eyes threatened to close of their own accord. “G….guardian.” she gasped out hips bucking gently almost riding the digit inside her. Talia was having trouble focusing at the moment as her body responded eagerly to his advances. <br><br>She practically whimpered when he slid his finger out of grasping channel leaving her uncomfortably empty and aroused for the moment. “A bit yes.” Talia said with a slight grin. “But I’m fine honestly. You’re just…so large.” Reaching down she wrapped one hand around his thick shaft stroking it gently. The young woman could feel him throbbing and her hand couldn’t even wrap around his girth completely. “I....don’t mind keeping you company a bit longer. We have the rest of the night.” Leaning forward she pressed a kiss to his mouth. “I want to do this.”<br><br>Did she honestly just admit that she wanted the Forest Guardian to take her? Yes, she did not only because she wanted to thank him for allowing her to take the herb she needed, but for sparing her. Talia also wanted to give him the contact he craved and she was confident that he had no intention of going back on his word.&nbsp; There was also part of her that longed to be filled by such an impressive length, the thought of being stretched around him while he thrust deeply inside her had desire pooling in her lower stomach.

				As her hand gripped his member, a shudder spun its way through his body. The kiss was met and returned, followed by a groan of, “Talia…” He was quiet for a moment, “I was granted a name when I was sent here. Hanou.” His hands passed down over her body to her knees, sliding them under the joints to spread her wide. The anticipation was killing him; he couldn’t stop himself or stand any foreplay. He guided the thick thing back and between her legs until the tip was pressed against her opening. Slowly he pushed, slowly it pressed into her, throbbing vigorously. <br><br>He moaned, loudly. The forest came alive with his voice as he penetrated into her body, pushing forward until the tip was kissing her cervix. The sensation of being buried inside of a human was intense. It sent his body into small spasms, the tip of his tail flicking rapidly. She was so hot and tight, he couldn’t help himself, pulling out most of the way until he could thrust into her. He had found a position and a slow rhythm to start, and let her know through groans and kisses.<br>

				The human woman felt honored that he thought well enough of her to gift his true name. "It's pleasure to meet you Hanou." she responded with a smile. Leaning back on his tail she allowed him to slowly spread her legs and her eyes fluttered shut as he began to push gently inside her. "Oh...oh." he was large and she could feel him stretching her far wider than any human man ever could. Her arms wrapped around his neck as she began to return his kiss and gasps with her own. Hanou was so gentle, this fearsome forest guardian had a soft side. It was so hard to believe that he had killed dozens of men since he arrived in the forest. <br><br>Moaning softly she rolled her hips encouraging him to keep going even as he gently bumped against her cervix. Talia didn't consider herself easy she'd only been with one man, the son of a merchant who often visited the village. They'd been engaged to get married but bandits killed him over two years ago. This however felt far too good for her to care, and it wasn't as though he was going to brag to anyone. "So....big." she gasped out leaning back with a sigh. "F...faster please." her slick inner walls twitched around him, adjusting to his size while seeming to encourage him to thrust deeper, harder, faster. Never in her life had she felt so needy.<br><br>

				Being as large as he was, Hanou had been worried about hurting the human. But she seemed to desire it more than what he was giving her. He was surprised knowing the difference in size between himself and the men who became his victims in the past. She leaned back and asked for him to go faster, soon followed by gradual pickup in pace. He stared at her as he pushed his weight against her, his member moving a little easier as her body adjusted to his size, before he suddenly threw his body onto her. <br><br>His arms wrapped under hers, hands turning back to hold her shoulders in a very close embrace. Most of his body came over her, and his tail flatted out from the coiled pile as he planted her flat on her back. His head was next to hers, heavy panting and moaning entering her ear as he drove into her. The angle helped with the increasing pace and was a better angle for her. She was free to wrap her legs around him or keep them spread, but the closeness of the embrace was what he needed in that particular moment. <br>

				Talia's arms wrapped around his muscular neck when he sped up nearly holding on for dear life her tender nipples brushed against the scales on his chest amplifying her pleasure. "Ha...Hanou." she panted out head thrown back as he eagerly thrust inside her slick channel. A flush stained her cheeks and she rolled her hip meeting him thrust for thrust until their breathing and the sound of skin on skin filled the small clearing.<br><br>Then he suddenly switched positions pressing her back against the forest floor. "Ahh!" her back arched and long supple legs wrapped around his waist squeezing tightly. The small human clung to him pressing her face into his neck and pressing hot little kisses to the column of his throat. Heat began to pool in her lower stomach. "Please...there...yes." she panted out as he brushed against her g-spot. "So....oh!" a shutter of pleasure caused her back to arch beneath him. Talia was already close to her climax.

				He thought he could feel himself pounding into her womb, pressing up against the skin of her stomach. He was stretching her so wide, so deep into her body. He could feel intense, intimate warmth along his member with every thrust, the textured walls of womanhood pushing him closer and closer with each passing moment. His head picked up and lips crashed into hers, a greedy tongue wrapping around hers with an excessive sharing of spit. It was delightfully intoxicating to the very last moment, as he let out a bellowing cry to the heavens in one powerful moment. <br><br>It was as though floodgates had been opened within him. The amount of seed… there was no comparison for a human. Even a stallion would have felt inferior. His head went blank a moment as it poured into her, coating her womb, forcing the skin to stretch and accommodate it. In a few seconds she looked damn near pregnant, when his cum began to squirt out of her. He pulled out of her, although his cock wasn’t yet done. An unconscious thrust pushed it between the two bodies, coating them in the heavy fluid and sending another wave over him. He held the embrace while keeping his weight off of her for the most part, until they were both in somewhat of right mind. “Talia…” Was all he managed to get out, huffing and puffing. He’d expended so much energy into her in that brief, pleasurable time that they had just shared.<br>

				The human woman expected if she looked down she would be able to see him thrusting inside her. She could already feel her stomach stretching once he breeched her womb. Pleasure unlike any she'd ever experienced exploded within her and her cries became almost frantic as he continued to move within her. Every kiss he placed on her mouth she returned digging her nails into his back, almost hard enough to leave marks. When he finally climaxed she was right behind him back arching as he inner muscles clamped around his thick shaft coaxing more of his copious cum out. <br><br>The sensation of being filled so full that her stomach began to expand was a bit uncomfortable at first. But she didn’t care moaning and crying out as another orgasm crashed over her causing sensitize muscles to clench with such force it almost bordered on painful. When Hanou pulled out she whimpered and a smile crossing her face as more of his seed covered her. By the time it ended she was a panting sticky mess, and never in her life had Talia felt so satisfied. <br><br>For a moment she lay there trying to get her fatigued muscles to obey as his seed leaked out. “That….was amazing.” She praised tiredly as she pressed a small kiss to his mouth. One hand rested on her gradually flattening abdomen and she actually chuckled. “You’re a wonder.” The archer knew she needed to leave now, gather her herb and take care of her father but she didn’t want to leave the large snake guardian alone.&nbsp; “We…should clean up before I leave don’t you think? Then….maybe I can come back and see you once I deliver the herbs to my father? With your permission of course, you are the Forest’s Guardian after all.”

				Once she spoke, his arms moved from around her shoulders to her waist, holding her close as he lifted up and began to move through the forest. Away from the clearing, she would feel cool water around her ankles; a river not far away. The snake shuttered as his body slipped down into the river, a shallow bed that should could stand up in and have the water up to her waist. He released her and sighed, the water carrying away the more loosely stuck seed. He looked at her, smiling softly, as his hands reached out and began to wipe her down. <br><br>“Yes, of course,” He said, in response to her question, “Day or night, it’s pretty empty in the forest. Plenty of privacy.” His hands drifted down to her stomach, feeling the fullness of his seed in her. “You’re something as well. You took all of that… All of me. Gave me quite an experience, a wonderful night.” He pulled her close, kissed her again, and once she was satisfied with how clean she was, slid back out of the water with her in his arms, back to the clearing. He set her near the flowers and slipped off to retrieve her clothes before coming to rest. “Until tomorrow, Talia?” He asked, “Or, whenever you’re able, I guess.”<br>

				It was so hard to believe that the fearsome guardian of the forest was taking care of her. She allowed him to clean her and in return she did the same to him washing away and remnants of his seed that had splashed between them. It was comforting, lacking the heat of arousal that occurred before their first coupling. “I would do it again.” She responded as she pressed a hand to her flattening stomach with a chuckle. “You’re a brave soul who’s stuck in an unpleasant situation. If I can bring you even the smallest amount of comfort I will, as long as I am able to.” <br><br>When they were done bathing she allowed herself to be carried back to the clearing where she recovered her cloths and slipped them back on. As promised she only took one bundle of herbs and headed out of the woods after promising Hanou she would come back as soon as she could. The journey back to the village was almost…sad for her. Once she would’ve been thrilled to leave the forest now she didn’t want to leave. <br><br>She arrived home shortly before sunrise slipping into her father’s cabin while the guards were changing. It was there she crushed the herbs and mixed them into his tea. The effect was almost instant, color came back into his face and his breathing evened out. The fever broke three hours later. She spent three days tending to him until he was able to move on his own again. The people of Sapphire’s Edge considered it a miracle the elders suspected duplicity. They had no proof though as the herb had been disposed of in the fire. <br><br>It was three hours before sunset on the fourth day when she was finally able to get away without anyone noticing. She slipped into the woods via the river the women bathed in dressed in nothing more than a dress that stopped at the tops of her thigh and tied behind her neck. “Hanou?” she called out as she ventured deeper into the woods. “It’s Talia… are you awake?” could he even hear her? She could be miles away from him. Talia made sure to make noise crashing through the brush on sandaled feet. It wasn’t even as though she wanted to sleep with him once more. The young woman missed him even after only four days.

				As she left the forest, Hanou felt a strong sense of loss. He very nearly coiled around her again, to hold her back, but he was a guardian of his word. He slithered back up into the tree tops and silently followed her to the edge of the forest, watching her from the canopy until she disappeared from view. He sighed, slipped back to do his usual rounds, and waited. It seemed that her promise to return had gotten to him, as he was much more jumpy at checking out things that disturbed the forest. Simple leaves falling or animals trampling on the many fallen leaves made him drop down to check things out. It started to make him wonder if he had gotten the right idea in his head, especially as the days ticked by. Was he right to trust her?<br><br>The village she talked about wasn’t far from the forest. If she had betrayed him, the people would have been on the forest already. But still, it was hard to shake the idea that she had lied to him to slip away. In his restlessness, he decided to start being a little decorative. The forest had many untapped treasures even before the onset of man, and with a bit of work, he had built himself a few primitive necklaces. Three of different lengths and with a variety of colors of stones to hang around his neck. He made a small bracelet of the rarer colors and a bit of quartz, a gift he would present to her if she came. Something small that could be hidden, it was a perfect thing for her. He spent extra time in the river, scrubbing every inch of his body and scales each day. <br><br>Then came a very special day, when someone was brazen in making the noise in his forest. Her voice and movement stirred him from the usual daily slumber, but it only took him minutes to find her. His body spun down from the treetops and coiled once around her as he took her hands in his. He gave her a kiss, before admitting, “I wasn’t sure that you were going to come back.” He unwound himself from her and pulled the tip of his tail up between them; the bracelet sat wrapped around it, for safekeeping until she returned. “I made this for you, Talia.” His eyes ate up her appearance, so well dressed and revealing. <br>

				She let out a surprised cry when he coiled around her and a smile lit up her face. Talia returned his kiss finding still finding it odd she felt so comfortable around him. When he let her go she smoothed out the wrinkles in the pale lavender dress before accepting the bracelet with a look of awe on her face. "It's beautiful, thank you Hanou it’s beautiful.” No one had ever made her such a gift, each stone was handpicked she could tell and the quartz glimmered in the sunlight. <br><br>“I promise I would return didn’t I?”&nbsp; She questioned after she slipped the gift around one slender wrist. “I had to make sure my Father recovered completely and then the elders….they had guards watching me.” A soft frown appeared on her face. “They suspect I went into the forest to get the herb and that is grounds for banishment. It’s okay though, they backed off after they searched my Father’s cabin. I’m clear for now.” <br><br>Talia stood on her tip toes and kissed him softly running her small hands up his chest and around his shoulders before breaking it. The young woman had not come here just to end up intertwined with him once more. She desperately wanted to explore for no other purpose but to sate her own curiosity. But she was frightened to ask, the last thing she wanted him to think was that she planned on taking more from the forest. This was his home, his land to protect. She was merely a visitor.

				“Given my position, I admit I was just a hint doubtful,” He wasn’t quite ready to admit to desperately desiring her. He helped her with the bracelet, pulling the slipknot until it hung loosely around her wrist. He frowned as she expressed what had taken so long, taking both her hands in his and looking at her closely. “Talia, I don’t wish for you to get into trouble just to visit. It means a lot for you to come despite that…” He started to move in the forest with her, keeping by her side as they moved along an old path that had long grown over. The plants seemed to bend out of the way of him, and somehow, even with his long form, the path behind them looked practically undisturbed. <br><br>“I’m used to climbing in the trees. It’s much easier to get around for an ambush, as you learned,” He said with a little grin. “Surprise is an important way to take care of intruders. It disorients them, scares them. I can attribute much of my effectiveness to being able to move through the trees. But it’s much harder when all you have are legs, and not a big body to spread out over the branches with. Ah, here…” He pressed ahead of her until they came out to a clearing, a different one than where they had encountered each other before. This clearing opened up to a small hill, topped with thick and soft grass to sit on. The big snake put his humanoid body in the middle of the hill, then coiled around the hill, his body rippling and patting down the grass. There was space in the middle for her as well, as he curled down to rest his head against the big tail. <br><br>“Apologies. During the day I gather my strength from the sun. I tend to be tired until she begins to set,” He explained, “You can sit here if you like. Or lie down. My tail seems to make for a good pillow.” <br>

				"It's fine, if they don't have proof they can't do anything. Meaning I have to have something from the forest on me." she was going to have to hide the bracelet somewhere they wouldn't think to look once she returned. Talia walked alongside him, able to keep up despite the fact he moved quicker than she did.&nbsp; This was pleasant she did not feel threatened or worried, she felt peaceful. <br><br>The human woman took the opportunity to look around, to most eyes it looked just like an average forest, small animals ran through the branches and occasionally she would catch the glimpse of a deer through the brush. There was something more here though, she could feel it in her bones. Old magic was thick even on the outer ring of the forest. It became more obvious the closer they moved towards the heart. <br><br>When they arrived at the clearing she watched with no shortage of surprised when his entire body seemed to circle around the hill. He was so large it was almost hard to believe he could be so gentle. With a smile she stepped over his body and laid down on the grass with her head pillowed on his tail. It was rather comfortable, she thought with a yawn. “I understand.” She responded softly as her eyes began to flutter close. “I don’t mind laying here, no one will look for me until tomorrow morning.” And with that she drifted off into a light sleep.

				He smiled at her as she settled, and embraced her closely after a short while. His chin rested on top of her head as the warm sun hung high in the sky. He wasn’t awake much longer than she was, although his sleep was deep and genuine. This was normally the time he got the best rest. The warmth of her body aided him until the sky began to glow orange, when he arose and stretched out. He woke her with a kiss, though didn’t move yet. He didn’t go on the prowl until nightfall and tonight he didn’t expect to go out at all. <br><br>“Talia… What brought you back to me?” He asked. “I am… Formidable, scary, alien, beastly. The sort of thing that humans whisper in fear about. I mean, it shows I’m doing my job well, but… Why return?”<br>

				The kiss woke her and she returned it stroking the side of his face almost affectionately. She didn't object when he didn't move far too warm and comfortable at the moment.&nbsp; His question was expected and her eyes focused in on his own as she began to try and explain what she saw in him. “You are all of those things yes. Though I do not consider you beastly in the least bit, but you’re also brave, strong, kind, attentive and fair. Those are the traits that brought me back to you.” <br><br>Shifting in his embrace she gently ran her hands along his shoulders and arms almost thoughtfully. “You did not kill me when I trespassed in the forest, you gave me a chance to explain myself. You gave me the chance to save my father and in return you merely wanted to spend some time in the arms of another. Then when you took me, you could’ve easily caused me pain but you did not. You gave me time to adjust, sped up when I asked and filled me so completely I knew no other being man or otherwise would be able to please me like you could.” <br><br>With a grin she pressed a kiss to his nose. “On top of all that you cleaned me up and made sure I got out of the forest safely. Never once going back on your word and trusting me to keep mind. It was in that moment I knew I wanted to see you again.” Talia respected him, longed for him, and at the same time she was already beginning to trust him. “You are a very special being Hanou and you deserve to have a chance to enjoy the company of another. Even if it’s only for a few hours a night.”

				Hanou bent his head to her touch as her lips reached up for his nose. “I am still rather shocked that a human could show interest in the big bad Forest Guardian,” He said, opening and lightly snapping his jaws shut with a growl and a laugh. He paused to think about what she said and then, “I saw something to you when I held you aloft, and when you played my game willingly without turning tail and trying to run. Strong determination, loyalty to a cause. You could have tried to force your way through and ignored my words, but instead you chose to take on a challenge for the health of your father. I couldn’t just squeeze the life out of a person after that… Certainly not after seeing a beautiful woman in the pale moonlight…” <br><br>He held her around the hips, picking her up and twisting his form around so she was lying on top of him. He took her hands and interlaced their fingers, squeezing once. “And now I’ve seen her in the light of the sun as well, and she is still just as beautiful,” He hoped he was doing things right. It wasn’t like the guardian had years of wooing women in his background. <br>

				Talia joined his laughter for a brief moment pretending to cower when he snapped and growled. It was almost as though she was with her beloved merchant for a moment, he would so often tease her as they lay entwined with one another. It caused an ache in her heart which passed the moment he began speaking and she could sense the truth in his word. With another laugh she was lifted and laid on top of him her legs on either side of his torso straddling him and gazing down at the large snake as he continued to speak. <br><br>A pale blush covered Talia’s cheeks "You flatter me Hanou." she stated as she stroked his chest affectionately. During her nap, the mane of dark hair had fallen free of its bun and lay in curls against her shoulders and face.&nbsp; Bowing her head she kissed him cupping his face with both hands and allowing her tongue to flicker against his mouth teasingly. Already she wanted him when originally she merely came to talk. After a moment she broke the kiss still looking at him with wonder in her brown eyes. <br><br>“Perhaps we should play another game?” the human questioned. “How about chase? You count to twenty and I’ll run as fast as I can through the forest. If you catch me before the moon rises completely. I will stay here until the sun begins to rise.&nbsp; If you can’t we will only talk.” She knew Hanou was a hunter and what better way to get a hunter’s blood going than a game of chase. Talia would be his prey, the idea…was thrilling.

				His eyes followed her face as she leaned over him, wiggling his nose as her hair lightly brushed against it. Then, she held his face gently, bringing a smile between the soft palms of hers, and a light, quiet little groan at her teasing tongue. He perked up at the suggestion of a chase, and of what she was implying. “Oh, you think you can outrun me?” Or maybe she knew she couldn’t, and maybe that was the point, “Very well. Twenty counts.” He waited for her to climb off his body and stretched out a bit, as he started to count away the seconds. He watched her scurry off and prepared himself for the chase. <br><br>A bit of extra stretching and he was off, up into the trees and on her trail. He moved silently through the treetops. She wasn’t exactly being subtle, or hard to track down. She might even get caught up in some of his traps if she wasn't careful.

				She set off like a rocket the moment he began counting running through the woods in a completely random direction. Agile as a cat she jumped over fallen logs and dashed around tall oaks with their winding roots. There was a smile on her face and adrenaline pumped in her veins coaxing her to run faster, make it more difficult for Hanou to find her. Of course it was all in vain he would find her long before she managed to get anywhere significant. Especially considering she wasn't looking out for traps or really paying attention to where she was going. <br><br>The dress she was wearing allowed her to move quickly but her legs were getting rather scratched up. Talia didn’t care though she was having too much fun, too excited to have the Forest Guardian catch her. The deeper she went in the darker it became as it had on the night she was searching for the herbs. Just as she was about to breech a clearing a rope caught around her ankle and she cried out as she was flipped upside down. “Oh no!” she exclaimed as she frantically tried to untie her ankle. If she didn’t move he was going to see her with her skirt flipped up exposing her utter lack of undergarments.&nbsp;

				While she struggled, the forest was oddly silent. A few crackling of branches, something falling from the trees off in the distance. It was almost scary, time ticking away slowly. The knot would hold quite firmly as it was designed to hold someone several times her weight. Until she looked up passed her flipped skirt, watching hungry eyes slowly descending from the treetops. He circled round and round the tree, slowly, but it was hard to mistake his form. “Mm… Gotta watch where you’re going in these woods. Something dangerous might come your way…” He sounded absolutely predatory, threatening. “You know, snakes usually start from the head when they catch their prey… But I can work with this.”<br><br>As his body came off the tree, his hands wrapped around her waist. With the strength of his entire lengthy form, he could lift her up just enough to take the weight off her ankle, right up to his waiting maw. He closed his lips around her exposed womanhood and began to lick, plunging his tongue into her. It wasn’t terribly thick, but it was long and dexterous, exploring her and flittering back into his mouth now and again. He groaned as he worked at her, becoming aroused in short order as he kept taking in her scent. Her pose let her see him grow and dangle in the air. <br>

				Talia was dreadfully embarrassed it wasn't as though she'd expected to be flipped upside down so every creature in the forest could get an eyeful. But there was nothing she could do about it but try vainly to keep cover what she could. She gazed upwards eyes widening as Hanou appeared from above. For a moment she was frightened but it quickly turned to pleasure when he covered her pussy with his mouth.<br><br>“Oh!” she gasped out bucking her hips gently. His slender tongue reached deep inside her quickly moistening channel brushing parts of her that caused sparks of pleasure to race up her spine. “H…Hanou!” The human no longer cared that she was almost completely upside down her body responded eagerly to his ministrations and her soft pants and moans filled the forest, far louder and more passionate than any creature. <br><br>Talia's dark eyes were completely focused on the sight of his emerging length marveling at the thickness and size. That had been inside her only four days ago and it caused her nothing but pleasure....how was that possible? Perhaps the magic of the forest aided their coupling? <br>

				“Mm!” He pulled his lips away and lapped at her outer lips before lifting her up a bit higher, setting her on a length of his body while he undid the knot around her ankle. Then he slowly settled down with her on the forest floor, spreading his form out like a large mattress, with his softer belly scales facing up. There he held her in his arms and kissed her passionately, lightly tugging at her dress with his fingers. <br><br>“I suppose you had to wear something before you came out here,” He said after pulling away, “But you can lose this now, Talia. You’re quite loud, you know. Good thing we’re in the middle of a dense forest with no one around.” His length throbbed behind her. He wanted her out of it, but he wanted to go slowly this time. When she had undressed, he rested his back against the tree, motioning with his fingers to come closer. “Goddess above you’re beautiful,” He said, hands lightly gripping at her body.<br>

				"Generally running around nude in my village is grounds for a session with the local mind healer." she responded with a soft tinkling laugh. Her body was humming in pleasure from the brief time he'd had his tongue inside her slick channel. Her lips were already swollen from their shared kisses. Talia could feel him throbbing against the curve of her pert backside hot and hard all for her. It made her feel amazing knowing she could bring forth such passion from him.&nbsp; A flush stained her cheeks and she playfully hit him on his shoulder. "I'm only vocal for you." <br><br>With a grin she reached behind her neck and undid the knot that held her dress up. The soft fabric fell exposing her generous breasts with their stiff peaks. It slid down her slender body and she ceased straddling him only long enough to kick the fabric to the side where it became tangled in a thorn bush with bright red berries. Just as quickly she moved to straddle him teasingly brushing the curve of her backside against his stiff cock. "And you're quite handsome my brave guardian." she responded running her hands up his chest and around his neck once more.&nbsp; <br><br>Her fingers traced over the markings on his hood for exploring the soft scales on his belly. She pressed their palms against one another his much larger hand dwarfing her own. Hanou was such an amazing being, both man and snake, hunter and lover. Talia felt honored he seemed to enjoy her company so much.

				His eyes watched her as she rose up to remove the dress, carelessly kicking it into a bush. He had to groan softly as her back brushed against his member. In a slight move, she could have tucked it between her cheeks. He held still as she curiously explored him, smiling at the difference in their size. He found it enjoyable for her to pick at his scales with such interest. In return, his hands graced over her skin, gently squeezing in on the softer parts of her body. He even played with her fingers a little, as the two shared an intimate yet playful moment of learning all the little details that could be found. <br><br>Soon enough, his hand found itself between her legs, rubbing his palm against the intense warmth. “I want to go slow tonight,” He said, “Last night was exciting, but tonight I’d like our passion to last.” His back went fully flat, his head resting against one of his coils. He made a motion with his hand, “Here, turn around and keep your legs spread. I’d like to have another meal from you…”<br>

				Talia blushed softly but did as she was asked. In one smooth motion she twisted around so he had access to what he desired and she had an eyeful of his throbbing length. Her body was trembling eagerly her slick channel already fluttering in expectation of that agile tongue flicking against her walls. Curiously she wrapped bother hands around his immense length and began to stroke it twisting her wrist on every down stroke and leaning forward to place a kiss on the head.&nbsp; He tasted salty, potent and she loved it. <br><br>Hanou really was quite large, over a foot if she was any judge. She recalled how it kissed her womb then breeched it as his thick seed filled her. It was astounding she’d been able to handle him at all, but she did not regret it, not one bit. That night had been one of the most amazing evenings of her life and she was already looking forward to making another fond memory this night. Biting her lip she kissed the head once more stretching her mouth wide to take only the head in her mouth and suckling almost eagerly let her tongue flicker against the slit.

				Hanou’s mouth opened up once again, licking up anything he could get of her before diving into her form. His nose was practically buried in her womanhood as he ate her out, the heavy flavor of her femininity driving him mad. His arms reached up to her hips and pulled her down to further satisfy his gluttony, though he shuddered as she touched his member with his hands. Lacking a foreskin, the touch caused him to throb and moan before she even started to work it. The kiss brought out a moan from his body, though he didn’t stop his tongue inside of her. <br><br>Suddenly he felt her mouth wrapping around the thick head. A strong warmth and lively tongue made him shudder and freeze for a moment, especially as the tongue prodded along the opening. He pulled his head back and became quite loud, venting his pleasure before going back in on her. “Talia, that’s it! Oh that feels wonderful…”<br>

				Her hips danced against his mouth and slick inner walls twitched around his agile tongue as soft moans escaped her lips. The fact his tongue was so slender made it twice as pleasurable as he reached parts of her that no human ever could. Eagerly she continued to suckle on the thick head her jaw stretched as wide as she could. His size did not allow her to take much but what she did take she made sure to pay special attention to.<br><br>Hanou's praise pushed her to try harder managing several inches before he hit the back of her throat. Eagerly she suckled as pressure began to build in her lower stomach and she struggled to keep her climax at bay. She did not want this to end, feeling so connected to such a powerful being it had her light headed with pleasure.&nbsp; Talia was so pleased she worked up the nerve to go into the forest and take the herb, if she hadn't she would've never met him. Instead she would've been married off to the blacksmith's son, a dull and uninteresting young man. <br><br>Releasing his immense length she pressed her head against his abdomen cheeks flushed as her essences coated his lips and tongue. “H…hanou I’m close. Please...I want it.” She warned him as her breathing began to grow uneven. Much more and she was going to lose control.

				She certainly scored for trying, her reward mouthfuls of precum that flowed readily once she had worked it enough. She begged him for it, and he was ready to deliver. He lurched forward, a motion that pushed her further down his body, and pinned her down. His member plunged into her nearly without warning, and unlike last time where he had slowly worked her, this time he knew she could take him. The whole thing went in with one thrust, kissing her womb again. It made him moan happily but didn’t bring forth the torrent yet. He was determined to hold out for her until just the right moment, even if the thrust brought her to climax.<br><br>He had her pressed between two parts of his body. His chest rubbed at her back and scaly underside on her stomach as he began to fuck her. The scales, while soft, provided excellent stimulation for her nipples, while the large hands of the snake closed around her own. His head settled down next to hers, panting and moaning happily into her ear. “Talia, you still feel incredible!” He moaned, delivering long and full thrusts into her body.

				Talia cried out loudly her back arching as he thrust inside her in one smooth moment. He stretched her wide around him and she could feel every throb of his stiff length as he thrust inside her. "Hanou! Oh....there please!" she shuttered around him her hips bucking sharply. Her body accepted him eagerly as though she was made for him just as she had the first time they were together. The sensation of his scales brushing against sensitized nipples only made the pleasure more intense. Her legs wrapped around him immediately keeping him from pulling out completely as he channel twitch and rippled around him. <br><br>At the speed he was going it was very obvious she wasn’t going to last long already so close thanks to his oral skills only moments ago. The heat was building in her stomach quickly and she clung to him moments before she lost it. Her back arched once more as slick inner walls spasmed around him and a flood of her juices escaped from where they were joined.&nbsp; It lasted for what felt like an eternity leaving her breathless and limp below him a look of affection glimmering in her eyes.

				He stopped thrusting as he felt her tense up, getting very tight around his member as pleasure rocked her body. He was fully in her now, holding her tight as she rode out her orgasm. He felt her clamp, and a warmth pooling around, and it drove him to empty into her very strongly. His seed mixed with hers as her he started filling her completely. He let out a long, pleased groan as he came, but it wasn’t nearly as much as the night before. It didn’t cause her stomach to bloat, as he was holding back. He wanted more from her and as he had said, he wanted the night to last for much longer. He slowly pulled himself free of her as he kissed her passionately, raising himself up to pull her into his lap. His member hung half limp to one side as he kept kissing her, waiting for her to recover. <br><br>“I love you,” He said, “I love you so much, Talia. I want to make this night memorable for you… Is there anything I can do to bring you to pleasure again?”<br>

				She was breathing heavily by the time he pulled out her eyes glazed over in pleasure.&nbsp; Eagerly she returned the kisses once again stroking his chest and neck. The human woman had just experienced a climax more powerful than the first time they were together and it left her a little tired but still she wanted more. A smile lit up her face when he spoke of love and she hugged him close to her for a moment. “Do you think you could…take me with your tail?” she whispered flushing as she stroked the long appendage.&nbsp; “Or maybe bind me with it. Then treat me like prey, tease me…take me hard love. I can handle it. The magic of this forest has made sure of it.”<br><br>It was obvious she’d be thinking about this since the last time they were together. That beautiful muscular tail, the idea of it keeping her bound or filling her slick channel was almost enough to bring her to orgasm again. “I can even run from you again….you can hunt me. Like I’m an intruder then when you capture me again, use me as your pleasure toy. Anything you want to try or do I’ll take it, as long as you don’t leave any marks.” The sole reason for that was so she didn’t have to try and explain herself to the elders if they caught sight of it. It also gave her the opportunity to explore while she fled from him.

				“Mm…” Hanou’s eyes glimmered at the idea, “I’ve already caught you once. Maybe when you next visit you can act like someone snooping around. But for tonight…” His tail whipped around tip first, spinning around her arms and chest to pin them together. The looping muscle skipped over binding most of her legs, wrapping around her ankles so that she could be spread open. Every inch the tail moved over her body, it got a little tighter, and breathing was just a little challenging. It spoke to how much control Hanou had over his body. Such a thing could crush her in an instant, but to be held in a threatening way, toyed with, was quite an experience. The snake smirked and watched her as she was wrapped up, crossing his arms. <br><br>Every few seconds that passed, he’d squeeze her. Sometimes he would squeeze tight enough that it was too hard to breathe, before letting up so she could gasp in air. He leaned to her and kissed her on the lips, reassuring her as the tip of his tail suddenly penetrated into her. Thin at the tip, it quickly became fat and started to stretch her wide as it went into her body. Each “thrust” with the tail inevitably constricted her, and every time it slid back released her. Hanou grew erect again as he watched her, enjoying the warmth around the tip of his tail. She was slick, making it easy to fuck her in such a strange way. <br>

				It happened quickly, one moment she was sharing kisses the next his tail was wrapped around her in several places. When he squeezed she would gasp not out of fear but surprise and excitement. Talia knew he would never really hurt her. “Ha!” she managed to get out two letters in his name before she couldn’t breath and when he released she gasped eyes glittering in the dim moonlight. She never expected to enjoy this as much as she did, and he was being so careful. <br><br>When his tail slipped in her slick channel a shutter raised up her spine, something she was certain the sensitive coils of his tail would be able to pick up. It was strange, she’d be the first to admit, but his tail was slightly rough and the simulation on her sensitive inner walls was amazing. Talia moaned and gasped unable to do anything but take it and the sense of helplessness was astounding. Her eyes lingered on his erect length and a wicked grin crossed her lips. She began to moan and gasp, praising his tail knowing her sounds of pleasure would drive him wild.&nbsp;

				Hanou looked very pleased with himself. Here she was wrapped up in his coils, and she sounded as though she discovered the secret to pleasure. She was wet as hell, which made him all the more aroused alongside her pleased sounds. His fingers lightly touched his member, as though he were going to stroke himself off, when a smile came to his lips. A glint in his eye told her that an idea had come to his head, as he rose up and slithered around behind her. His tail popped out of her for a moment, replaced by fingers that worked her until he was very well coated. Then, his hands spread her ass wide, and those coated fingers began to prod at her puckered opening.<br><br>He grinned, thrusting his tail back into her vagina as he began to work her ass. One finger at a time, pushing in and stretching her, using her fluid to lubricate the opening. His member pulsed against his leg, betraying the idea in his mind. Soon he pulled his fingers away and began to prod his cock against the opening, pulling back and bumping it against the opening over and over. He was being a huge tease, and seemed to really be enjoying the complete control she had surrendered to him.<br>

				"What are you, oh!" her hips bucked sharply when his fingers began to prod at her tight passage. Talia hadn't even stopped to consider that he could essentially double penetrate her.&nbsp; Moaning softly she strained against his powerful tail her essence coating her thighs as her arousal sky rocketed. "Hanou!" her exclamation was laced with desire and she tried to push back against his prodding fingers but his tail held firm, preventing her from moving more than an inch.<br><br>Talia gasped loudly the moment his tail slid back inside her slick channel just as he began to brush the head of his arousal against her tight puckered entrance. “Tease…such a tease.” She said but it was obvious she approved. Panting gently she began to essentially ride his tail while offering her pert backside to him like a wanton brothel worker. She would only act like this for him, only her beloved forest guardian.&nbsp; “Please…put it in. I want to feel it..."

				“Oh, you kinky little minx!” He said with delight, as his cock popped right into her ass. Inch by inch he slipped in until his hips bumped against her, his tail pounding her constantly while he did so. It was a very different sensation from being in her womanhood, but very pleasurable all the same. This was one case where he had to go carefully even if she wanted him to ruin her, at least at the start. His precum would help things move along, and soon enough he was pounding into both her holes at the same time. “How’s that? This feels really good too, I don’t know what hole I like better…”

				Talia gasped and her body stiffed for a moment when his thick shaft slid into her unoccupied passage. It hurt for a moment and the stretch was a bit less comfortable than it had been the first time he took her. Once she adjusted though she entered a state of pleasure overlord. Her cheeks were flushed, eyes closed and moans and cries of pleasure escaped her throat. "They're both yours." she gasped out straining against his powerful tail as her climax threatened to overpower her. With a cry that echoed in the forest her slick inner walls clamped around his tail and her entire body trembled in pleasure. "Hanou!" she called out in obvious pleasure uncaring who would hear her. All that matter was the sensation of his cock and tail inside her trembling body.

				Hanou worked into her body with all his strength, suddenly locking deep inside of her as he let out a roaring cry of her name. His tail squeezed her firmly as he started to cum, his tail writhing around inside of her twitching form. He started to fill her much like their first time, slowly loosening the hold on her as her stomach bulged from the gut-busting burst he was sending into her. He pulled her free from the coils and leaned back with her in his arms, still embedded in her body with his tail and his cock, moaning softly as he emptied everything he had into her. His arms were wrapped lightly around her chest, a loving embrace coupled with kisses to her neck. The moon was just climbing into the sky, and yet he felt like he could be satisfied for a week. <br><br>“Talia…” He whispered after a few, quiet moments, his tail slowly slipping out of her, “I wasn’t too rough, was I?” <br>

				"You were marvelous Hanou." the human responded with a yawn. "I'll be fine as soon as I clean up and get to sleep." she turned and kissed him softly. "Shall we explore a bit next time? Away my brave guardian!" with a laugh she pointed towards the river. This was going to be a very fun evening.<br><br>For the next several weeks Talia went into the forest as often as she could. Sometimes she'd sneak away during the evening, sometimes during the mid-afternoon so she could nap wrapped in his arms. No one really seemed to notice and if they did none were inclined to alert the elder to her indiscretion. Sometimes they didn’t even have sex, on several occasions they merely chatted or walked around the woods. He would tell her tales about the woods and she would in turn ask to see all the special hidden places. <br><br>In time they began to trust one another, until one day a group of hunters spied her sneaking back into the town in the early morning. Rather than tell the elders or confront them they three hunters instead headed into the woods on the night of the harvest festival. Talia would not be in the woods that evening she was hosting the archery competition in her father’s stead a fact Hanou was well aware of.&nbsp; <br><br>“We’ll bring back plump deer tonight gentlemen.” The leader said as they began to walk through the forest bows drawn. “The creatures here no longer fear man, it should be like shooting fish in a barrel.” The other two thugs laughed before following his lead. If they managed to bring back meat then the forest would no longer be forbidden and it would once again belong to man.

				Every time Talia came into the forest, Hanou would scoop her up from the treetops like his prey, growling and playfully biting her. He always seemed to know when she arrived, whether she was loud or quiet, and would always find her within a few short minutes of her arriving. He did nearly anything that she wanted, fulfilled just by having her hands in his for as long as he could. It was the companionship that he desired and fed on. He loved every moment with Talia but knew his job. Even while he was with her, he was sensitive to the movements of the forest and anyone else moving into it. No one had while she was there, but not even love could distract him from the reason that he had been created. <br><br>It wasn’t long after she had left him one morning that something went amiss. Three figures entered the forest, none of them Talia. Hanou rushed through the trees to find the trespassers before they made it very far into the forest. They would certainly be hampered by Hanou’s traps, tripping them up with hidden lines at their feet and pulling them into the air as he had caught Talia some weeks before. Three people could help each other out of the traps, though, so it was up to the Guardian to deliver final blows. <br><br>From his position, he could make a quick assessment of the situation. They walked and talked like man was expected, and unlike Talia’s selfless goals, they aimed to pillage the forest. He could not allow that to happen. They walked somewhat side by side, but they were all looking in the same direction. His tail shot down to the one furthest back, out of sight of the other two men, constricting and choking off the man’s air supply before he could make noise. Hoisted up into the air, not even his struggling could alert the other two to his dying. The body was pulled up into the tree tops after he snapped the man’s neck, setting him along the branches to keep it out of sight. Hanou lurked, watching the remaining two, prepared to exploit their reactions once they discovered he was missing.<br>

				The remaining two hunters continued to walk for a moment too preoccupied to notice the sudden absence of their third party member. “There in the trees, Jamie did you see that?” one of them whispered pointing towards a clearing where a doe and her fawns were grazing. “Jamie?” the taller of the two looked over his shoulder. “Idiot wandered off I bet. C’mon we need to find him.” He smacked his companion on the shoulder. “The doe will still be there when we get back.”<br><br>Together the pair set off in no particular direction calling out for their friend. “Jamie!” there was no answer. They tried again still no answer and each step pulled them deeper into the woods. “Do you think….the guardian has him Howie?” the second in command questioned. “He was just…gone you know? Normally he tells us when he’s on the trail of something…” Howie, the leader laughed. <br><br>“Paranoid are we Tuck? The fletcher’s girl was fine when she came out. If there was a guardian why would he spare a delicious virginal maiden?” Tucker snorted. <br><br>“Talia isn’t virginal, not with looks like that. I bet she’s spread her legs for more than a few village boys. After all no one would marry someone from that cursed family. Look what happened to the merchant that proposed to her.” <br><br>After several more moments of searching they decided to head back to the clearing to take care of the doe and her fawns. The pair assumed Jamie had chicked out and scampered back to the village with his tail between his legs.

				Hanou enjoyed their rambling, although it gave him a few interesting bits of information. It sounded as though Talia had been the catalyst to their entry. He didn’t like that. How had they seen her? He would need to display these ones outside of the forest as a reminder that he still lurked here… And he’d have to talk to Talia about how she was going in and out of the forest. It also caused him a bit of anger to hear them speak so crassly of her. The two began to move back towards the deer, which Hanou couldn’t allow. It was time to play with the hunters and exploit their fears. <br><br>Instead of moving silently through the treetops, occasionally he’d snap a branch or rustle the leaves. Sudden noises, not unlike how Talia had tried to use a pinecone to distract him when they first met. As he moved, he collected up sturdy vines and worked them together into a rope, and a lasso soon after that. Once he had them spooked by the noises, he tossed the loop down towards the walking path of the second in command. As soon as the man stepped into it, Hanou jumped down. The vines cinched tight around his leg and sent him shooting up into the treetops, while the big, intimidating form of the guardian landed with a very loud whomp. <br><br>He let go of the rope, allowing the man to come crashing down to his death unless he were so lucky to grab onto a thick branch. Hanou slowly slithered forward, towering over the remainder, their commander. “This is the sacred forest, your kind has been commanded to never enter under penalty of death…” His hood was wide, and he was loudly hissing, the usual scare tactics, “Before you die, mortal, tell me of the foolishness that consumed you, that made you think you could safely enter this place.” <br>

				The hunters were a paranoid mess by the time they reached the clearing where the doe and her fawns had been resting. Both men were twitchy and jumping at even the slightest of rustles. "Something is following us, I can feel its eyes on the back of my neck." the second in command muttered under his breath. "We should leave, Jamie had the right idea." the leader snorted once more and smacked his companion on the back of his head and then....he was gone. With a sharp yell the second in command was whisked into the air and landed with a sickening crunch in the very clearing where the deer rested. The disturbance was enough to cause them to flee.<br><br>Just as the leader turned to run he found himself face to face with Hanou in all his glory. His eyes widened and the blood drained from his face. "The girl...we saw a girl. She came off one of the hunting trails. She seemed fine and she was even smiling, we figured the legend was a lie." he was making it sound as though she'd intentionally shown herself to them to let them know that she'd gone into the forest and emerged unharmed. That was of course not the case, Talia would never intentionally give away her secret. “Please spare me, I’ll leave and never return.”

				Hanou got a lot of information out of a terrified confession. He slowly shook his head, “Your kind knows the penalty for coming here. There was no maiden, you were mistaken, and now you pay the price…” He could easily deny someone like that. With a twist of his tail around the man’s neck, he snapped the bones cleanly. At least he wouldn’t suffer. Hanou’s hood folded back as he relaxed his muscles, putting his head in his hands. Could she really have betrayed him? Was everything a lie, something to get him to lower his guard? She was so genuine, she seemed so truthful. Questions raged in his mind and tormented his heart as he gathered the bodies. Traditionally, he displayed them at the edge of the forest, hung from some branches that were low enough they could be collected for a funeral. No doubt Talia would see them, the entire village would. <br><br>He wasn’t sure how to greet her if she dared come back to the woods. He would not embrace her as he always had. He wouldn’t even hunt her, once he was sure it was her. He would just make himself present in front of her, with serious questions and accusations.<br>

				It was another three days after the bodies were discovered that Talia could even begin to think about entering the forest. The three dead hunters had stirred up the elders who increased the patrols along the edge of the forest. They walked back in forth in pair eyes alert with torches flashing like beacons in the darkness. It was only after she watched the patrols that she managed to find and opening. At precisely midnight the guards changed and it was during that rotation she slipped in. Immediately something told her that Hanou was mad. The forest was eerily quiet and not even the squirrels rustled the branches. <br><br>“Hanou?” she called out softly gripping the small bag she held in her hand. Had the hunter’s hurt him before he managed to kill them? She was more worried about his state of being more so then if he was mad at her or not. If he was mad she could prove to him she did not intentionally lead those men to think the forest was safe. She didn’t even know they saw her until the bodies appeared.

				Hanou seemed to materialize out of thin air. He normally had a bit of a presence whenever he came to meet her, but this time he was just in front of her, waiting. Cold, his arms crossed, hood back. He wasn’t surprising her and embracing her like he always seemed to, not grasping her from the trees and taking her as he always had before. “Talia,” He said, turning to face her, “We need to talk. A lot. Those men…” Of course she would know about that. His eyes went to the bag in her hands, and he seemed to get tense for some reason. “Their leader said you had led them here. They saw you leave, thought the forest was safe. Talked about you with familiarity…” <br><br>He moved closer to her, “You need to explain yourself, right now.” His eyes, angry, revealed that he was in pain of her betrayal.

				"The hunters?" she questioned when he appeared before her, "No I...didn't I would never. They must've caught me sneaking out." Talia's eyes grew wide...did he honestly think that she led them into the woods? It made sense she supposed after all she was the only one who entered freely. But she would never betray him like that. There was plenty of game in the fields no one needed to hunt in the sacred woods why would she send them in? Growing distraught she gripped the small bag tighter.<br><br>“My village is small Hanou everyone talks about everyone else with familiarity. I used to go to archery classes with them when I was a girl and Tucker never really got over the fact I refused to marry him when I came of age. Do you honestly think I would betray you? After everything?” her dark eyes grew even darker as tears threatened to spill down her cheeks. “After this?” she pulled up the sleeve of her shirt and revealed to him the outline of a tattoo that seemed to be appearing on her pale flesh. It was of a fox. “This appeared on my arm after the festival…I don’t know what it means. I was coming in here to ask you and you accuse me of sending hunters in? How could you?”

				Several things happened all too quickly. She first threw back the accusation at him, and fairly so. Having lived alone in the forest for so long, he had no idea of the human cultures and customs. Then she started to sound upset, and mad as he was it still broke his heart to see that. His expression turned soft at her distraught noise, before turning into surprise as she revealed a tattoo. He needed to respond to her first, though. “They are the ones who spoke of you by name! How was I to know the closeness of your kind, I haven’t left this forest since I was born!” He threw his hands to the sides, “I know not of the ways of man. I have been warned by the gods that created me, and I believed you… But fear crept into my heart. You were careful, always so careful with how you came and left. They spoke as if you had walked up to them and told them I was no longer a threat!” <br><br>He shook his head, “Talia, I don’t know what that mark means. I am just a <em>stupid animal</em>.” He started to slide back away from her, looking ashamed. It was rather amazing how his large form could start to melt into the forest; his entire lower half seemed to have disappeared entirely. “There is magic here, I’m sure even a human can feel it in this place… Magic that maintains me… You have been here more than any human ever has. Maybe that has something to do with it…” If she didn’t stop him, he’d disappear into the darkness completely. Something tugged at him to not slither away completely from her, or at least to give her a moment to respond to him.

				"Hanou stop it." she stated with a sigh. "I didn't meant to imply you're stupid, you're far from it. I sometimes forget you've never been outside of the forest. You don't know about human culture and I never thought to discuss it with you." she walked towards him feeling terrible about the way she spoke to him. In hindsight she should've known he'd think she had something to do with it. After all Talia was the only human he dealt with and he never saw her completely to the end of the forest.<br><br>With more speed than she normally had she dashed towards him and wrapped her hands around his wrist. “Please don’t leave me. I’ve been so frightened lately and I took it out on you. You had every right to be mad, but next time…trust me. I would never do anything to risk you or the forest being harmed.” With one hand she undid the small bag she’d bene holding in her hand. Inside was a small leather bracelet with a hand wrought silver feather hanging form it. “I made this for you, at the festival. It’s a bracelet, please will you take it?”

				Hanou actually gasped as she came up on him so quickly. She had moved so suddenly through the forest, like it was nothing… It was so familiar to him, the way he moved through this place. He looked at the gift and smiled a bit now, his heart melting just a tad. It was a bracelet, like he had first presented to her, although very human in its craftsmanship. Metal from the earth, leather from a cow. He was hardly going to object to it, though. He lifted up his free hand to take it from her, slipping his fingers through it until it sat on his wrist. “I love it,” He said, before embracing her, “I’m sorry I didn’t trust you. Let’s retire to the hill, were we can talk more.” He released her and began to move along, although his movement wasn’t the usual pace he kept. <br><br>Hanou was curious about something. He began to move through the forest more fluidly, as he had done instinctually for years. He would be intrigued if she kept up with him, even with the tip of his tail. <br>

				It didn't seem as though Talia even realized that he was moving quickly. Whenever she fell behind it was because something scurrying in the underbrush caught her attention. Twice already she'd dashed off and come back moments later clutching a rabbit or squirrel in her hands, quite alive and squirming. Then when she realized what she did she would release them and hurry back to his side as though nothing happened. She seemed almost embarrassed by the odd instinct, and would often blush brightly when he looked at her. When they arrived at the hill she sat down beside him as she always did and sighed. "I'm sorry I don't think I ever realized how many small animal wandered in the forest. They're everywhere...and they're rather fun to catch.&nbsp; I hope I didn't slow you down too much."<br><br>Oddly enough despite her many side trips she managed to keep up with him very well without him slowing down much at all. The mark on her arm had grown somewhat as well and changed from faint to quite solid. It looked like an actual tattoo now rather than some sort of odd rash. "I apologize for the hunters Hanou but your warning scared the rest of them away, the forest should be safe for a time."

				“Yeah, that’s the hope. Otherwise I’d just have eaten them, but they didn’t smell right. Probably would have gotten sick…” He leaned into her and lightly nipped at her neck, “Mm, you would be fine, though…” <br><br>He pushed up her sleeve a bit more to look at the mark, rolling his jaw from side to side. He had noticed how quick she was in the forest and how she had kept up even as she made little jumps to the side to play with her prey. “You’ve gotten some hunting instinct in you… If you had first come with that agility, you would have easily snatched away the flowers without me stopping you. How interesting… Do you feel any different?” He really didn’t know what to make of it, or where the mark had come from. Were humans destined to be affected by the forest if they stayed too long in it?<br>

				Despite the fight they'd just had she chuckled softly when he nipped at her neck. It was hard to stay mad at him when he had every right to be angry in the first place. With a soft smile she kissed his cheek feeling far more affectionate than normal, at least for the moment. Perhaps it was because she was finally able to see him after a week of little to no contact. <br><br>When he gazed at the mark on her arm she shrugged softly. "Not really, I've noticed I'm faster and I sleep later into the day than I used to. Then there was the bit with the squirrels but that didn't start until I began following you deeper into the forest. Oh!” she pulled away from him and turned so he could see her hair, the once ebony locks were faintly streaked with red. It was nearly impossible to notice unless you head the eyes of a predator. <br><br>“I noticed the red when I was bathing this morning.” Turning back towards him she sighed softly and pressed her small frame against his much larger one. “Do you think it’s the forest’s doing? Is it changing me into something better suited to be your lover?”

				“I don’t… I don’t know,” He said honestly. His hands came up and lightly brushed through her hair, pulling it closer to his face to see. He liked the streaked colors, and something about her smelled pleasing. “I mean, it’s all kind of unprecedented. But there’s a reason I’m a protector of this place. A lot that even I don’t understand, but it’s powerful. You’ve spent longer here than any human ever has, so… It’s quite possible you’re being transformed.” <br><br>He held her closer as they settled down, shrugging his shoulders a bit. “I mean, it’s not going to change how I feel about you…” His hand brushed over the tattoo, “It must be changing you into something matching your personality though. Maybe the marking is a clue as to your form?” He squeezed her briefly, grinning, “Are you nervous?” <br>

				"Perhaps that was the reason why the elders didn't want us wandering the forests in the first place." she responded with a smile. "The last thing they need is a village full of enchanted people." she clenched than relaxed her fist and found herself leaning against me. "I'm excited I think." she finally admitted as she stroked the scales on his chest.&nbsp; "I want to be able to stay with you and if I become something different I'll never have to leave again and we can run through the forest together." turning in his arms she linked their hands together gazing at the tattoo on her arm. <br><br>"I think it's turning me into a fox." she admitted after a moment. "Doesn't the mark kind of look like a fox?" she ran her hands along the symbol slowly tracing the outline. "A quick, cunning, witty fox." Talia stood up on her tip toes and kissed him softly. "Let’s play tag again." she whispered against his mouth. "I bet you'll have a harder time catching me." slipping out of his grasp she blew him a kiss and dashed into the underbrush hardly making a sound.
