Hawaiian Baby Woodrose

It was a short walk from the parking lot to the entrance of the garden center, but far enough for Rose to have already started sweating. True, it was an uncomfortably hot morning, and the sun grew more merciless as the minutes passed, but the reason had as much to do with Rose as with the heat. She had dressed lightly for the day-- a thin polyester dress with a floral pattern, sandals, a broad-brimmed hat-- but at 44 she was not a petite woman, and it didn't take much exertion for a film of sweat to form on her brow, her chest, and under her arms.

She hoped it might seem cooler inside the long rows of plants and flowers, away from the black asphalt of the parking lot, but if it did it wasn't by much. As she looked around at various flowering plants and shrubs, feathery fronds and snaking green stalks, her thoughts turned to her weight, as they often did, and from there to her lack of a love life, as they often did as well. She attributed the latter to the former, though it might have been truer to say that she indulged the former because she had given up on the latter.

If she had thought about it, she certainly could have named any number of friends who had reached a similar size at a similar age, yet were in healthy (or even hyperactive) sexual relationships. In Rose's case, it was less a matter of weight than of the fact that everything about her-- the round puffball of teased and shellacked hair, the matronly attire, the powdery body scent, the sensible shoes-- gave off a distinct air of permanent sexlessness. She seemed simultaneously uninterested in, uninteresting at, and incapable of pleasing a man in bed; seducing her would be like trying to interest a moose in the high jump.

But she had a beautiful garden-- gardening, like food, being one of her consolations and forms of self-expression. She worked her way along a row of shrubs and then came to one she didn't think she'd seen before-- broad leaves on a clinging vine, and here and there a white bell-shaped flower with a shocking pink interior. She lifted one frond up and took a whiff of it-- musky and strong, not sweet-- and as she did a loose berry rolled off the plant and dropped into her mouth. She gasped in surprise-- and in an instant she had swallowed it, quite inadvertently.

Oh dear! she thought. This could be quite serious! She looked around the base of the plant for a tag and found it. Argyreia nervosa-- Hawaiian baby woodrose. Relative of morning glory, native to Asia and Hawaii... seeds are eaten as a mild psychoactive related to LSD-- good heavens! Still, Rose rationalized, if people ate seeds, plural, for that purpose, one seed was unlikely to do a great deal. It was silly to be overly concerned. Perhaps a bit too readily, she put it out of her head and moved along to look at other plants.

A few minutes later, though, she began to feel distinctly uncomfortable. The sunlight seemed to be growing brighter, and she was feeling warmer, in fact as she looked down she saw that her dress was quite damp. Not far away a tall, dark-skinned young man who was spraying the plants with a hose turned to look at her-- and the look on his face as he turned to look at her told the story. He rushed over to her as her knees started to buckle and just barely was able to hold her up to guide her to a bench placed fortunately just a few feet away.

"Are you all right, ma'am?" he said as he wet a cloth with his hose, then held it up to her face. The cool water was instant relief.

"The heat..." she said, and then she realized she had better tell him everything. "Also... this will seem silly but... I accidentally swallowed a seed. The Hawaiian baby woodrose."

His eyes opened wide and she was shocked to see him laughing at her plight. But she didn't begrudge it, he had a kindly, funny face-- a big nose, a wide smile, black-framed glasses like you saw on so many college kids these days. Really kind of cute, not that she had ever thought that way about-- what was he? Black? Middle eastern? Polynesian? Hawaiian baby...?

"... all tried it at some point," he was saying, and she tried to focus on him, realizing she'd been drifting. "I'm pretty sure one won't do you any harm. They say it's a psychedelic and even an--" he lowered his voice-- "aphrodisiac, but all anybody here seemed to get from it was a little happy feeling. I'm sure you'll be all right."

Aphrodisiac! My heavens, thought Rose. And as she contemplated the thought she did start to feel something run through her body, something she hadn't felt in a long time; a kind of tingle in her thighs, her stomach... oh, don't be silly.

She thanked him and moved along, taking only one backwards glance at him as she walked on. She liked the look of his buns, as her friends called them. Nice muscular legs in his shorts, like someone who biked a lot. Oh, what was she thinking, she put him out of her mind and continued on her way, looking at big leafy palms and brilliant red and purple annuals.

The colors of the flowers seemed to swirl and grow before her, intense, overwhelming. The fronds of the palms swayed back and forth, the sun beat down, the heat from the outside seemed to be matched by a surging force within her. She thought again of the young man, his tight ass, his strong legs as they must piston up and down, pumping his bike-- Rose, what has come over you! She hadn't fantasized like this in years, and as she did she felt the heat almost overpowering her. Another hose was nearby, no one was around, she could mist herself like they did the plants and cool down--

Unfortunately Rose didn't really know how to work the hose and before she even could release the lever and point it away she had drenched herself, letting out a little scream in the process. And a moment later the young man appeared, clearly concerned by the noise. Deeply embarassed, Rose tried to mutter an explanation for the fact that she was now soaking wet from head to toe.

To the young man, though, it had to be said that in many ways Rose had made an improvement. The puffball of shellacked hair now lay flat, curling loosely around her face in a much more youthful, relaxed way. And the dress, once shapelessly indistinct, now clung tightly to Rose's form, revealing not a thin figure, of course, but a shapely mature form, buxom breasts, earthy broad hips.

Even in her embarassment Rose sensed that he saw her as a woman for the first time-- and all the thoughts she had been repressing, about his thighs pumping and his tight buns in her hands and his body between her legs, overwhelmed her like the waves of heating coming up from the pavement. This wasn't natural, she knew, it must be the effect of the Hawaiian baby woodrose, but there was no further hope resisting it. She grabbed his shorts and pulled him toward her, pressing her lips to his. He was startled, but then he was pleased, and she felt him take her broad butt in his hands, working it through the damp dress, and she knew he was hers.

He broke the clutch, pressed his finger to his lips and started leading her back through the nursery and then through a little wooden gate. They went around the greenhouse and found a shaded spot, out of view, where leaves and petals which had fallen off the plants were left to mulch in a large, soft pile, as big as a bed.

She sat down and then lay back on the bed of leaves and petals, pulling him down with her into this wonderland of jarringly bright colors and intoxicatingly flowery scents. She pulled her skirt up and he ran his hand up her sturdy long thigh as they kissed, deeply, her tongue exploring his mouth, her hand stroking his fuzzy black hair. She had never felt hair like his, she realized. His other hand massaged her big round breast under her dress, and she soon unbuttoned the top and let it slide off her shoulders, then unsnapped her bra in back and pulled it off over her head, exposing her breast. He sucked at the nipple eagerly and as he did she ran her hand across his shorts for the first time, feeling the hardness within respond to her touch and press back.

She had to have it now, a cock in her mouth, it had been years. Then it was something she had done, dutifully, with her husband during their brief marriage-- short marriage, long afterlife of divorce. She had certainly never craved it as she did now, pushing him back into the flowers, petals leaping into the air and scattering around them, then moving down and unzipping his shorts to reveal the coffee-brown, gloriously ugly beast pointing up at her. The sight of it was coarse, a shock, like "fuck" yelled from a car. She loved that part of it and took the head in her mouth greedily, delighting in the idea of sucking a thick brown cock. As she did she moved down and rubbed herself in her panties. She sucked it greedily, and in a few minutes she could feel it twitching in response to her work and then-- a salty blast in her mouth, another one, she rolled it around the head of the cock as she sucked it and then swallowed it, something she had never done before.

She lay back in the flowers and leaves and reveled in the thought of what she had done. Now he ministered to her quietly, less urgently, sucking on her breasts, rubbing her clit inside her panties, then sliding a hand inside-- the shock of the feel of a finger on her pussy as it found a slippery welcome. He moved down and pulled her panties off, then it was the electrifying sensation of his tongue touched to her wet slit, as he kneaded her big ass and his hair flopped against her belly with each lick. It only took seconds of this before she was screaming, sticking a hand in her own mouth to keep it quiet, clamping his face tightly between her thighs as each throbbing contraction of her orgasm seemed to run through her like a jolt from a car battery.

She needed him in her now, she had to have cock in her, complete the feeling; she had not known that she had needed this so badly but that seed, the single aphrodisiac seed from the Hawaiian baby woodrose, had revealed something inside her that had been buried for so long, had unleashed a desire that she now knew had to be satisfied, today and often in the future. She reached down and felt him half hard in her hand, so she sat up and clumsily bent over to lick the tip again, where that glorious spurt had come from that she could still taste. He was hard enough in a few moments and so she lay back, legs open wide, and he climbed upon her. Again, electricity ran through her as a cock, so long missed, plumbed inside her. It was just as she had fantasized, his muscular thighs grinding and pumping against her abundant softness, her fat jiggling in every direction as he thrust into her. She was making love, she was being fucked, she had the thing she had been missing for so long, cock--

Although, tasting her own pussy juices on his mouth, she suddenly wondered what licking a woman would be like, too.

The manager looked at the arrangement for a moment, then sketched a plan in the air with his hand. "And let's move the azaleas onto this rack, and move some of these-- what are those there?"

A young blonde woman looked at the tag. "Hawaiian baby woodrose," she said. Then she stopped and looked at some small round objects which had collected in the middle of the plant. "Ooh, there's something all over it." She looked around and found a plastic wrapper thrown on the ground.

"What is it?" the manager asked.

"Jelly bellies," she said. "Weird, somebody spilled a whole thing of jelly bellies here."

"Well, clean 'em up before they turn to goo in this heat," he said.

She pulled the leaf down and a dozen or so jelly bellies rolled off of it and into her hand. She picked a few more out, then dropped them into the trash bag on her cart, and began transferring the Hawaiian baby woodroses from the shelf onto the cart.
