The Quest of the Ludendorff

 

Chapter 12  The Return of the Apeman

 

A first Larra saw only green, interspersed with sparkles of light.  Then her vision cleared and she realized that she was looking at rays of light filtering through the leaves of some forest giant.  Her head was pounding as if tiny explosions were going off inside her skull, and every inch of her body ached, but especially her backside. 

She was lying on a soft bed of leaves.  She was quite comfortable where she was, but had a terrible need to perform an urgent bodily function, so she tried to get up.  She found that someone had looped strands of rope about her in order to make that impossible.  The rope was not pulled, tight, however, and with a little effort and a considerable amount of pain from her battered body, she was able to wriggle free.  Moving to the edge of the platform she soon saw why she had been secured by the rope.  She was high in the upper branches of one of the tallest of African trees.  She guessed that she must have been at least one hundred feet off the ground.  A fall from that height would not be survivable. 

She moved to the edge of the platform and relieved herself.  Then she sat down to rest and think.  There was something familiar about the situation she was in.  “Could it be possible?” she wondered?  What was the likelihood of encountering John Grey in the heart of
Africa?  She decided that the odds were strongly against another chance meeting with her former lover.  Still, this whole arrangement was very like him, especially the way she had been rescued by being raised mysteriously into the air. 

She saw that close by there was a collection of rainforest fruit in a small basket.  It seemed to have been left there for her convenience.  This was also very much like Grey’s style.  He was a vegetarian and was quite knowledgeable about the varieties of edible plants available in the rainforest. 

She wondered at the absence of whomever had placed her on the platform.  Her restraints had not been designed to hold her, just to keep her from falling if she rolled over while she slept.  There must be some reason why she had been left alone. 

She was still very tired.  The beating she had suffered at the hands of the Nazis had left her very weak.  She ate some of the fruit and then curled up on the bed of leaves and dropped off. 

She awoke a few hours later and ate a bit more fruit.  She was still alone.  Still too weak to go anywhere, she slept again, this time covering herself with some of the leaves from her bed, as night was approaching and with it lower temperatures. 

This time she slept through the night.  When she awoke the next time she was not alone.  Sitting across from her was the man she had surmised was behind her amazing rescue.

“Feeling better, Larra?” asked John Grey.  His handsome face was creased by a smile.  He was clearly glad to see her. 

Larra could not hide her pleasure at encountering the mysterious apeman once more.  She almost gushed like a schoolgirl.  “John Grey, I guessed it was you.  She could feel a powerful stirring in her loins.  She had not had sex since leaving Grey the previous year, at not had consensual sex.   She loved him very much, but his realm was the rainforest and its plants and creatures, and hers was a life of adventure and travel while exploring archeological sites around the world.  They had parted good friends, but Larra had missed the amorous part of their relationship.

“I’m sorry I was not here when you awoke,” said Grey, “but your injuries looked severe enough to require special treatment.  I brought you this.”  He held up a water gourd.

“You went to the spring,” said Larra. 

Grey nodded.  He was a man of few words.  He handed her the gourd. 

Larra drank deeply.  Almost immediately she could feel the powerful effect of the healing waters upon her battered anatomy.  The miraculous waters would allow injuries that normally took days or weeks to mend to heal in only a few hours.  Gathering strength, she accepted another offering.  Grey had also fetched a set of clothing for her.  It was very simple, consisting of just a pair of shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, but it made her feel better to cover her nakedness.  She dressed and then ate ravenously.  One of the side effects of the healing process was a powerful increase in appetite.  She soon consumed all the food that Grey had provided.  Then she slept again, while he went to forage in the rainforest.  

By early evening, Larra felt like her old self again.  During the day she and Grey had filled one another in on the events of their lives while they had been apart, until finally they reached Grey’s discovery of Larra in the German camp.

“I was not actually looking for you, of course,” said Grey.  “You merely happened to be the happy end result of my investigation of the Ludendorff.  As you know I do have my sources, and when I received reports of a massive airship floating over the Lost World I decided to investigate.  I arrived just in time to see the Germans “questioning” you.  I was tempted to kill them, but they were armed and that might have endangered you life, so I decided to pull you to safety first.  I will have time to deal with the Germans later.  From all appearances that airship is not going anywhere soon.  Did you have something to do with that?”

“Something,” Larra agreed, smiling.

Grey leaned forward and took her hands in his.  “I have a little bone to pick with you,
Miss Court.”  He said it gently, but Larra could tell that he was speaking in earnest.

“Yes?” she replied.

“I underestimated you.  I did not think you had the ability to find your way to the healing waters of the mystical spring I showed you.  It would not do if the entire world knew its whereabouts.  The secret of near immortality is a powerful weapon.  Great nations would go to war for it.”

Larra nodded.  She knew where the conversation was headed.

“But you did find the spring again.  And you took your friends.  And you took as much of the magical water with you as your airplane would hold.  Now too many know of its location.  There is a great danger that the secret may leak out.”

“I trust my friends,” said Larra.  “They will not tell.”

“If you trust them, then so do I, but secrets have a way of getting out the more people there are who know about them.  Once only I knew the secret.  Now at least five people know.”

Larra could understand Grey’s concern.  The mystical spring did not exactly grant immortality, but it greatly extended the lives of those who drank its waters.  The knowledge of such waters would be a powerful and extremely dangerous weapon in the hands of those who chose to use it for evil.

“I am sorry John,” she said “but we will keep your secret.”

Grey moved closer to her.  “I think you will,” he said.  “But I also think you should be punished.” 

“What do you have in mind?” asked Larra, catching the twinkle in Grey’s eyes. 

“Just this,” he said.

He kissed her on the forehead and as he did so he forced her arms behind her back.  Larra did not resist.  Grey had never done anything like that before, but she trusted him implicitly.  Their lips met in a long and passionate kiss.  Then with a sudden move, Grey broke off the kiss and shifted behind her.  He moved so quickly that Larra had no time to react.  Maintaining his hold on her wrists with one powerful hand he looped a short length of rope about them.  Larra felt her wrists drawn together.  In a few seconds her hands were bound behind her back. 

“John, what…?” she began, but her question was cut off as Grey covered her lips with his again.  She struggled to free herself, but in those few seconds Grey had effectively immobilized her arms.  He kissed her long and hard, intertwining his tongue with hers and exploring her mouth and lips completely.  Larra began to pant uncontrollably.  Already there was a dampness between her legs that she could not stop.  Grey’s act of binding her had created a powerful erotic reaction. 

Larra had been bound many times by her enemies, but had never before been aroused by such an action.  Somehow, when Grey did it, she was more sexually excited than she had ever been before. 

Grey removed his mouth from hers and ran his fingertips over her face.  The caress was gentle yet extremely sensual.  Then he began to move his fingers lower, over her perfect neck and collarbones, approaching the upper curve of her voluptuous breasts.  At the same time he ran the tip of his tongue over her lips, and then ever so gently over her cheek to the perfect shell of her left ear.  The dual caress drove Larra wild with excitement, and she strained in her bonds, trying almost desperately to escape. 

Grey continued his kissing and stroking of Larra’s upper body for some minutes.  He held her in a sitting position with one arm and caressed her with the other.  Although, she knew she was perfectly safe with her former lover, the added touch of being bound added an element of danger to their lovemaking that had not been there on previous occasions.  As his mouth and fingers moved lower on her body, she arched her back, presenting her breasts to him and almost begging him to take the luscious hemispheres. 

Now Grey was slowly and teasingly removing her shirt.  Releasing one button at a time and pausing to kiss and fondle each new area of flesh that he exposed.  Larra squirmed in his arms, thrusting herself hungrily against him, and wrapping her long legs about his thighs. 

Slowly the twin mounds of Larra’s majestic breasts came in to view, hidden only by the thin fabric of her bra.  Grey lightly kissed each globe of flesh, and then teased the cup off her left breast.  Lightly, using just the tips of his fingers, he began to move his hand in slow circles around her areola.  Larra found the sensation almost more than she could bear.  The pink teat, by now rigidly erect, begged to be sucked or licked or tweaked, but Grey did none of these things.  Instead each time he approached her rose-tipped buds, he moved his fingers away. 

“Mmmmmm!”  A moan of pure passion escaped Larra’s lips as Grey’s extended foreplay continued.  Finally, he moved his mouth down over her swollen nipple and kissed the hard pointed tip.  Stimulating her teat even further with his tongue he then engulfed it with his mouth and suckled her like a babe. 

Grey was now fully on top of the helpless female adventurer and working her over with both hands.  He slid her shirt off her smoothly muscled shoulders and finished removing her bra.  For a few seconds he paused in his lovemaking to simply study the magnificent woman he was about to have sex with.

Larra still wore her shorts, but what was revealed to Grey’s eyes was magnificent beyond comparison.  Despite the fact that Larra was now over thirty years of age, the restorative powers of the mystical waters of the magic spring gave her the firm and youthful body of a girl of fifteen.  Years of training in the martial arts, coupled with hard exercise had given her a physique that was both well muscled and yet supple.  Large, high, cantaloupe-sized breasts graced her splendid rib cage.  They were like great ripe fruits, but so firm that they hardly quivered as she continued her instinctive struggles against her bonds.  Her superb upper body tapered down into what seemed an impossibly small waist that disappeared into the khaki material of her light shorts. 

Loosening her belt, Grey revealed the lovely contours of her hipbones, as they framed her flat, taut pelvis.  Drawing her shorts down exposed the creamy white skin of her powerful thighs, and the dark triangle of her treasure mound.

Her face was a marvel of perfection.  It was framed by long dark hair that contained hints of copper and spread out on the bed of leaves like the rippling mane of a lion.  High cheekbones hinted at her part Asian heritage and provided a perfect setting for her blazing violet eyes.  An aquiline nose set over a bow-shaped mouth completed a picture of incredible beauty.  There were few women in the world who could stand side by side with
Larra Court and attract the attention of any man. 

Now this goddess lay helpless before him, albeit with her own cooperation.  A mighty erection stirred between Grey’s legs.  Quickly, he finished undressing Larra, and settled himself between her splayed legs. 

Larra was ready for him.  She wanted no more foreplay.  “Take me, John,” she pleaded. 

Grey needed no further urging.  His erection was throbbing with such force that he felt as if it would explode if he delayed any longer. 

“Oooohhh!  Aaahhh! Larra exclaimed as Grey thrust into her.  He was a very big man, and she retained her almost virginal tightness.  It was well that her vagina was wet with vaginal fluid, otherwise she would have experienced considerable pain. 

Grey was a very compassionate and considerate lover.  In their first meeting he and Larra had made love on as many occasions as possible.  He had come to know something of her sexual needs and moods.  He knew that under the right circumstances Larra liked a little bit of rough sex.  Her acceptance of the bondage and the urgent demands of her body told him that she was in that sort of mood now.  Still, he did not want to cause her severe pain, just hurt her a little, and so he proceeded to enter her in a controlled manner. 

His first thrust penetrated deeply, but not too deeply.  Then he withdrew, even as Larra wrapped her powerful legs about him, trying to draw him deeper.  Grey thrust in again, and then began a slow steady rhythmical pumping, sinking deeper within her with each thrust.  At the same time he continued to massage and suck her breasts, switching every now and then to her lips and neck. 

“Oooohhhnnnn!”  Larra moaned.  “Harder!  Faster!” she implored.

Grey ignored her.  Another secret of pleasing Larra was to make her beg for more, as she was now.  Eventually, Grey knew, he would have her screaming in orgasmic ecstasy. 

Deeper and deeper he thrust into the moaning, begging, crying adventuress.   Larra writhed and twisted in both pain and pleasure.  Her back arched almost impossibly, and her thighs tightened so tightly about him that Grey’s breath was almost squeezed from his body. 

“Oh John,” Larra gasped.  “Deeper,  deeper!”

This time Grey complied, burying himself to the hilt in Larra’s throbbing vagina.  “AAAAHHHHAAA!!”  Larra’s screaming orgasm showed him that he had done his job well, but he was not finished yet.  He continued to drive into her bringing her to orgasm again and again, until finally climaxing himself.  Then he took her in his arms, and held her sweat-soaked, gasping body close to his.  They kissed again, this time gently, and still holding one another tight, nodded off to sleep.
