We were just riding through the open plains when I noticed we were getting closer and closer to the dark wood, and wondered where Josh was taking me. “We’re not going to the dark wood, are we?” I inquired. It was a stupid question as we obviously were, just one of those questions that you ask even when you know the answer.

“It’s all full of myth and nonsense are the tales of the dark wood my dear, it’s just a normal forest” His confidence eased my worry.

“So I take it you don’t believe in the beast then?” I said.

“I’ve ridden through these woods many times, I’ve never seen any beast” laughed Josh. I suddenly felt silly for asking, like a little girl who still believed in the tooth fairy.

Plus, it was only early afternoon. The sun still splintered and illuminated the forest floor; it wasn’t so intimidating in the daylight. I felt safe by Josh’s side. Even if there was a beast, he would be no match for my hunk of a man I thought. The most intimidating man in the kingdom was a beast of a man himself. Soon to be my man in I wanted him, I thought, I think I did. We found our way through the forest, I had asked where exactly we were going, but he was keeping his cards close to his chest.

We were having fun riding through the forest, challenging him to race, weaving through the trees to our eventual destination. It was all in jest, of course, there’s no way me and my little horse could compete with such a powerful man, and an equally powerful horse. He pretended however at times they he could barely keep up, it was sweet, but with one quick crack of his whip, Josh could be back by my side in a second I wondered what it would feel like to be on the end of that whip myself. The thought of it made me wet, being dominated by this incredible man. I was having fun and very much enjoying the company of this fine gentleman.

After a while we made our way to a clearing and the side of a stream, which was the start of the river that led to the village. “No-one ever comes here” said Josh, “They’re too scared of the dark wood.” That was a shame in many ways at it was a stunning location. For the first time in a while we got to enjoy the rays of the sun in all their glory bathing down upon us and warming our skin after travelling through the cold, dark wood.

We trotted our horses across the shallow stream to the other side. In that moment I felt happy, it was lovely to enjoy the freedom. And I was enjoying it with a man who I was increasingly enjoying the company of. Of all the men in the kingdom, my father would only permit me to be with a few men. Of those few men, I couldn’t help thinking that Josh was the best fit for me and the best suitor I had available. At that moment, Josh tied the two horses to a nearby tree and left them to drink from the stream as we took a talk.

We started to walk up the hill, but not too far. I made a joke about the physical exertion that he was putting me through. In the blink of an eye, he picked me up and carried me. It was like I was as light as a feather to him. I was getting a little out of breath just walking up the hill, he looked effortless carrying both his own weight and mine up the hill. We both laughed. “You can put me down now, I was only joking.” I said, giving him a smile. I walked with him the rest of the way, which wasn’t much further.

When I reached the top, I could see instantly why he’d taken me here. You could view across the whole of the land and the valley below. You could see over the dark wood and the castle in the distance. I could see further than I’d ever seen before. The view from the top of the castle was good, but not quite like this. I’d never had this kind of view before, and it took my breath away for a moment. Not quite as much as the next moment did, however, I wasn’t expecting that either.

“Bella” started Josh. “You’re the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, you are kind and fun, and I know I’d love to spend a lifetime with you. I know that we would make an incredible king and queen.” At that moment he got down on his knee and pulled out a ring from his pocket. A perfect golden ring that almost looked as shiny and bright as the sun itself. “Will you marry me?” he said, eventually saying the question that I had been awaiting since he knelt down to one knee.

In that moment a million things went through my head, a million questions. Did I want to marry him? Well, no, not really, not yet at least. Not if I had the pick of any man I desired. But that was the crucial point; I didn’t, so I was conflicted. I had never wanted my own freedom more than I did right now, but at the same time I felt resigned to a fact that I would never have that freedom. “Wow, this is a surprise” I said, nervously. I had realised that my delay in thought had been a little too long, and I had to say something at least.

“Take your time, I know it’s a big decision” said Josh. The sincerity in his eyes melted my heart. I had the choice of risking becoming unhappy with a man I barely knew, or risking leaving the castle and trying to find my own happiness elsewhere. If I said ‘yes’ then I was giving up hope of ever having the life I truly wanted. A ‘no’ would be a big step into the unknown. I was in my early 20’s now and I pretty much knew every man who my father would deem suitable. Josh was the best of the bunch. He was not only the nicest of the brothers, but also the most handsome.

A sadness crept over Josh’s eyes as it looked as though he was waiting for me to say ‘no’, he was still uncomfortably knelt down on the ground. I had made my decision, feeling like I could easily live to regret either choice.

“Yes, I will” I said smiling. The smile I received back from Josh was almost as wide as the valley below. A woman in my position can rarely have things her own way. The irony of being a princess, everyone thinks you have it all, but you often don’t have the only thing that matters, happiness. As I stood there on the serene hill, surrounded by astounding natural beauty, looking at a man who looked as if he was sculpted from god, I could only hope that Josh could deliver this princess the happiness she craved.

After the proposal, Josh grabbed a big bag that he had taken off from the horse which contained a blanket and some food so we could have a romantic picnic together. The longer I had time to think about my decision, the more at ease I was. It felt like the right things to do and Josh was clearly a sweet and nice man. It did bother me that I barely knew him, but I was a woman of limited choice. The food was nice, and mixed with the romantic setting and the emotion of the day I found the man before me completely alluring.

I started to kiss him sensually on the lips, he kissed me back and it was our first moment of passion as a couple. He was a good kisser, and I felt myself get wetter and wetter as our tongues met. I stoked his giant chest with my hand and was in awe as the size of it and the muscles he had. His shoulders were strong and powerful and his arms were delightful. He placed his hand on the side of my face to kiss me and I felt totally succumbed to this man. He was a handsome brut of a man who turned me on immensely.

I took my hand from his chest and slowly moved down the rest of his body, until my hand was cupped around his cock. He looked slightly uncomfortable with what I was doing, but the ever increasing bulge beneath his pants showed that he must have been enjoying it. I tried to unbutton his trousers so I could feel his bare cock beneath.

“No, we can’t” said Josh, being shy about the whole situation. “We’re outside” he continued, trying to justify me not being allowed to touch his cock.

“No-one ever comes here” I argued, “You said it yourself”

He had no comeback to my argument as I continued to work my way around his pants, as I slowly undid his buttons. He still looked uncomfortable, but didn’t look as though he wanted to stop me. And he didn’t stop me when I reached into his pants and grabbed his now hard cock which was waiting for me. I pulled it out so it was now in the fresh air of the mountain top. I gently stroked around the tip as I continued to kiss him.

He looked around to see if anyone was there, there obviously wasn’t. He’d obviously never done anything like this before. I was thinking back to the hot fuck that I had with him and his two brothers and remembered it was Josh that took the most persuading out of the three and the one that looked most hesitant during the proceedings. After a while though he had warmed up and hoped that is what he was going to do here. I thought that the best way to do that would be to take his cock into my mouth and that was exactly what I was going to do.

Before that I thought I’d take his mind of himself and onto me. I stood before him and lifted the top I was wearing and the bra underneath to reveal my pert breast to him. At this moment his eyes weren’t anywhere else other than on my body. I slipped off the riding pants I was wearing until I was fully naked before him. I could tell in his eyes that the only thing he was thinking of right now was how he was going to fuck me.

I sat back down next to him, kissing him on the lips and going back to stroking his cock. I leaned over him and took his pants to down past his knees. He was fully hard and it was a huge turn on seeing his beautiful cock out in the open air. I leaned across him, and placed my head down over his cock as I took it into my mouth. I can’t imagine he was too shy about being in the open air now as a light breeze came through on the hot day. I circled my tongue around the tip before taking it all into my mouth, loving the feeling of his cock down my throat.

I bobbed up and down as I could feel his breathing getting heavier and heavier and the pleasure running through his body increased, I cupped and massaged his balls with my hand. He closed his eyes for a moment, now caring very little about his surroundings. I worked his cock with my lips, moving up and down on his shaft. The emotion of the day only seemed to heighten my senses. I was taking pleasure from giving my man pleasure, but now it was my turn.

I stopped leaning over from where I was sat and stood up in front of him as I demanded that he take off his shirt and remove his pants from his ankles. I was now stood up before him with him still sat down in front of me with his legs stretched out. I walked forward and to him and placed my legs either side of his and moved forward so that my pussy was now in his face. He looked up at me with a smile, clearly loving the view he had before him.

As I pressed his head into my pussy, I loved the view I had too. Below me was a handsome man gently licking my clit and in front of me was the most beautiful landscape I had ever seen. I loved the sensation of watching over it as this gorgeous man was circling his tongue around my clit. I ran my fingers through his hair and pushed his head into my pussy, increasing the pressure that he was putting on my clit.

While his mouth was on my clit, I could feel the tip of his index finger around the entrance to my pussy. He ran his finger around the rim of it, before sliding it into the pussy. The feeling of my clit and pussy being worked as the same time was heavenly. The speed at which he was doing it increased gradually, until he inserted his middle finger into my pussy too.

I felt it difficult to maintain the strength in my legs as the pleasure took a hold of me. He licked from my clit down to where his fingers were and back up again. I was still dictating the pressure on my pussy by pushing his head into me with various degrees of force. The slight breeze cooled my clit before Josh’s tongue warmed it back up, it was a wonderful sensation. By this point he was fucking me with his fingers and I thought it was about time that he fucked with his cock instead.
