Chapter 04

Exploring 

Charles spends every single spark of energy rowing on the old lifeboat. He has alreadt spent the last months searching every inch of land on the island's coastline, but he hasn't found any sign of civilisation. 

When he reached the other side of the island, he could see that it is actually part of an archipelago, then, after spending several days replenishing provisions and forces, he sails to the next island.

It takes one day of almost uninterrupted rowing, and when he gets to the shore, he simply ties the lifeboat and falls asleep, not even caring of wild beasts or any other kind of threat. He is exausted.

The next morning, he explores the surroundings but finds nothing, then he goes back on the lifeboat to explore a little farther.

Then he sees a wooden stilt house.

He furiously rows in that direction,if there's a hut there are people! And people can help him to bring back his family to England, or Anerica, or wherever the nearest civilisation is!

But there are no people. Only a single woman, and her animals.

She walks completely naked, but a tribal bracelet, and she's an astounding beauty.

Charles can't tell if she's an ex slave survude the shipwreck or an archipelago native. But she's human, she's a person, and after months of solitude, Charles craves for human contact.

He approaches the woman and present himself, trying to shake hands for greetings.

But the woman stares at him and doesn't shake his hand.

- She doen't understand me - thinks Charles - but I can tell for sure she's interested in me and means no harm, she looks very friendly and curious. I'll try to make her understand even if we don't share the same language.

- Charles! I am Charles.

And points his hand on him chest.

She nods and repeats "Charles", even if it sounds more like "Tzarrs", but he thinks it's ok. The she start speaking fast, hundres of words Charles can't understand at all, but he's hypnotised by the woman's voice.

He hasn't got her name yet, among that flowing of words, but after a couple of minutes, her behaviour changes form excitement to... flirt? Her body language can't be misunderstood.

Despite all of his strict moral education, his body reacts back as well. He's definitely attracted by this wild woman that he cannot even understand. And when she starts to undress him, he just shuts away all the Victorian puritanism and takes away his clothes.

Ta - daaah! He's already erected.

And she looks very happy about that, but she notices as well how bad sunburt is his pale skin. 

Then she takes him by her hand downstairs, asks him by signs to lay down on a bench, and start to rub him with an unguent. He feels that his skin is getting quicly better.

She asks him to turn around, and after rubbing his burnt chest qith the unguent, she looks at him with a half smile and she starts rubbing something else. Charles is completely relaxed and mesmerized and closes his eays to enjoy the moment.

Then to his big surprise the woman climbs over him and starts having sex with him in a way he coudn't believe possible.. a woman riding him like a horse! He only knew the missionaire, man over woman, as the puritan church allowed.

No matter, he's going to enjoy that moment and that woman, she's like anyone else he'd ever meet!
