Without Kaereni, this story would not have the flavor it has and the life she breathed in it makes it what it is. I could not have made it without her ideas, constant discussions, and brainstorms. Thank you Kaereni for your words, thoughts, and support on this and all our collaborations. Dedicated to you my love.

Mountain Music

In Washington DC every year there is a national folk festival. On the mall hundreds of stages are set up and performers come from all over the world to play. And like most years, Jill always seems to miss it due to other things going in her life. This year she managed to fit it in. Jill walks the mall listening to the folk music. Going from stage to stage she listens and taps her foot in time to the bands playing. As the morning passes she finds that everything seems to move at a slower pace, more relaxed and calming then the frantic movements of the city on other days.

Jill comes to one stage where she finds a lone woman sitting on a chair with a dulcimer on her lap playing pure Appalachian mountain music. "Wow... she's good," she says to the stranger next to her. The man nods and keeps watching. Something about the woman's music takes Jill to the mountains and makes her lose all touch with the hustle and bustle of life in the nation's capital. When the song ends the crowd moves on but Jill moves forward to tell the woman how wonderful her music is.

Coming to the front of the stage and off to one side, she catches the woman. "Excuse me Miss." Jill starts. The woman turns around after putting her instrument away. "Yes how may I help you?" Jill smiles and was a little taken back. She is more beautiful than Jill first thought and her voice seems even more so, "I wanted to tell you that your music moved me."

"I am glad you like it dearheart." the woman says smiling.

Feeling nervous but in no hurry to leave Jill continues, "Can I ask what that piece you played is called and where I might buy your music?" The woman nods at Jill's compliment and put her hand on Jill's arm.

"I call it Mountain breeze." the woman says as Jill kind of shrugs off the contact. "You can't buy it in the stores... not just yet." Jill frowns at the unavailability. "But if you come with me" The woman pauses seeing the reaction from Jill. She grips Jill's arm lightly "I can give you a sample of my music to enjoy since you seem to like it so."

Jill, being a hardened city girl starts to say, "no thanks" but instead hears her mouth voicing "Sure... I would love that." She looks confused for a moment but after looking at the woman Jill decides she could take care of herself if the woman tried any funny stuff.

The woman smiles and picks up her case. She slips her arm into Jill's and walks with her through the crowd towards the parking. "The sample is in my car... just over this way," she says talking and holding onto Jill's arm as if they are lovers.

Jill wants to pull away but on the other hand really wants the sample of the music and letting the woman hang on like that seems a small price to pay for the wonderful music. "I didn't catch your name..." Jill says her voice trailing off as her eyes catch the jewel swinging from the woman necklace. Somehow it reminds her of the music piece and how simple and peaceful things were.

The woman notices the intent look at her companion's face and smiles. Her voice takes on a singing quality as she lifts the gem giving Jill a better look, "Well dearheart.... I see you have glanced into the mountain gem that's around my neck. It is beautiful now isn't it? You have good taste and so does the gem."

Jill starts feeling different, her mind fills with peace and she has no desire to look at anything else except the gem. "It is nice like your music..." Jill said.

The woman smiles leading her not to a car but out of the parking lot to a small hotel nearby. "What is your name dearheart?"

Without looking away Jill answers, "It's... it's... Jill... Jill Blake?"

The woman wraps her arm around Jill's waist, "What a nice name... all nice things should be treated with care. Don't you agree?" She was lightly caressing her as she talked to her and helped her inside.

Jill nods "yes..." her mind focusing on the gem and the feelings of peace it brings to her. She does not notice they have left the park behind and are now riding in an elevator. Her fingers reach and lightly touch the jewel and move to caress the woman lightly.

"Come dearheart" the woman says as the elevator door opens into a hall way. They go down the hall and enter one of the rooms. "Here we are dearheart" she says as she sets the case down. Turning she faces Jill fully her hands opening Jill's blouse. Jill moans softly her eyes locked on the jewel. She can hear the music, feeling it to her very core as her hands move of their own violation caressing and stripping her own body.

The woman stops and smiles, "But you wanted more of my music" she grabs the case and moves in to the room. She goes to a chair and sits down pulling her dulcimer out and starts to play once more. Jill feels herself fall ever deeper into the music then before out in the mall.

By the time the song ends Jill stands there her clothing in a discarded pile around her. She gives her head a shake wondering how she ended up inside and why her clothing is on the floor. She starts to get mad and then sees the jewel and her mind calms down once more.

"That's it dearheart... No need to get all huffy about things now." The woman coos and comforts Jill. Standing Jill nods and feels a strange twinge in her like an orgasm. She blushes as it hits and the woman just smiles. "Come to me... Let me look at you."

Jill complies half in a trance. With each step closer to the woman she fells waves of pleasure and excitement fill her. "How pretty you are dearheart." said the woman giving another caress to Jill's inviting flesh. Jill moans as her mind fills with rapture and bliss. She moves into the touch from the woman her mind dancing for the jewel. The woman puts her dulcimer down stands, and embraces her thrall. "Mountain magic is a strange and wonderful thing dearheart...don't you think so?"

Jill slides against the woman close dancing with her. The reply comes up from her core, "yes mistress." She looks into the woman's eyes and sees the gem in them. Blinking Jill looks once more and sees that this is not a woman but a living jewel. The realization sends a jolt of pleasure down Jill and she moans as another orgasm fills her. Her hands move to disrobe the woman the hunger for mountain dew, fresh from the flesh of the gem is all that matters to her now.

Jill starts to kiss and caress the woman as she is pulled into the fold of the gem's power and the arms of the woman. The gem and its music consuming Jill's thoughts and brings her ever closer to the peace and pleasure it offers her. The woman smiling at Jill who seems attuned to the gem. Jill loves the music as it plays just for her and enwraps her tighter within its melody. Suckling and kisses the flesh trying to taste the nectar of each note that plays. Moans from both women become the harmony.

Jill feels her world slipping away by the music of the gem. Its song laying her mind bare and reshaping it. Gone are the worries of work and bills. All that matters is pleasure and the music. Jill loves the music as it plays just for her and enwraps her tighter within its melody. Suckling and kisses the flesh trying to taste the nectar of each note that plays. Her hands caress and play the woman under her as the gem controls both. Their minds and bodies moving in perfect harmony reaching towards the crescendo of joint orgasms. With one final mind blowing orgasm Jill feels what is left of her old world falling away.

The woman strokes Jill's face seeing that she is able now to receive the final notes of her song. With much care she caresses Jill as she sings and whispers to her of a new life and the promises of fulfillment within it. Jill eases into the touching and lies snuggling to her as she is sung to sleep. She dreams of the mountain air, the soft breezes from the streams, her new life and love for the secluded and peaceful ways. As she sleeps there is a tune playing in the background, her tune, hummed by the woman as she lets her rest.

As Jill sleeps the woman gets up and takes a pair of scissors to Jill's discarded clothing. Once she finishes she stops humming and says, "Wake up dearheart... it's time to perform again." Jill opens her eyes and smiles up blankly at her mistress the song filling her thoughts. She gets up and looks at the discarded pieces on the floor. "Who made the mess?" she asks as she starts getting dressed. The woman smiles and says, "no one important... now come here so I can braid your hair."

There is a crowd of people waiting for the show to start when she and her mistress reach the stage. Jill has no idea she was once among those who enjoyed it as she helps set up. The guys in the crowd hoot and holler at her as she bends over revealing butt cheeks and lack of panties that are exposed from the cut-offs. Turning to see who the men are making noise at Jill gives them a nice view of her cleavage, bare midriff, and pigtails. She bats her eyes and smiles at them before stepping back so her mistress can enter and start the show.

The woman appears and sits down before opening her case. She turns to Jill saying, "Thank you dearheart. " As her mistress begins to play Jill listens to the music fill the air and her heart with the promise they would return home to the mountains soon.
