Shanti's Bliss

    It was a hot day in the deep depths of Central India, the jungle sweltering as many of its inhabitants try to find relief from the onslaught of the sun’s rays. It has not rained for over several days, and times are growing increasingly desperate. Amongst the rabbles and quarrels of the jungle, a young girl walks alone in the undergrowth, carrying a fresh supply of melons in a neatly woven basket.

    ''Ooooo, my sinusesssssssssss!'' groaned the large Indian rock python, as he lay coiled around a tree branch, rubbing his head with his tail smoothly. After a recent struggle with the young man-cub, he was exhausted, his senses erratic. The moon shone brightly in the night sky, the python alone with his regrets. Why oh why did he play around, delaying the inevitable? That boy was right there for the taking, and a good meal he would have made too if it hadn't of been for the python's childish nature.
    Suddenly something rustling in the bushes below caught his attention, out of the foliage came another man-cub. However, this particular man-cub was…different. It looked a lot more fragile in physique, carrying a basket of melons as she walked past his position. She also appeared a lot more delicious, in his infinite wisdom; he concluded that this must be the opposite sex of the 'man cubs' .
    Shanti, a young girl from the village not too far away, was finishing her collecting of melons from the jungle. Merrily she carried them, humming lightly to herself as she ventured back to the borders of her home. She was fair, not bright like some of the pastier humans he had seen before, but dark, just like that infernal man-cub whom he had toiled time after time to capture. A light tune echoed where she went, the humming displaying her feelings as she rustled through the dense undergrowth of the Indian jungle.
    
''Mmhmhmhmpphh!'' he giggled to himself, his body jiggling as he ventured down from his perch, his tongue flickering in and out in excitement. Shanti paused in her tracks, her once gleeful rhythm interrupted by an unusual laughter nearby. Turning around, she could not pinpoint as to where the sound originated from, with the many different colours of the jungle, it was hard to make out specific shapes. The overjoyed python watched from the cover of rather large leaves, chuckling at her lack of awareness. As his tail slid out like a writhing worm from the secrecy of the bushes, Shanti remained still, her eyes darting around her surroundings.
    ''Over here my ssssssssssweet…'' came a voice from all around.
    Shanti began to panic, for the voice sounded much like one of her many admirers from the village. Her head swivelled round in all directions, but as the laughter continued, she decided she had spent just enough time in this clearing.
    
"Whoever you are leave me at peace, I do not wish to be followed!'' she commanded in protest, turning around to run away into the dense depths of the jungle.
    As she did so, a tail wrapped around her left ankle, causing her to trip up and straight onto the ground.
    "Leaveeeeeeeeee you at peaccccccccccccce? I think not girl-cub!" spoke the benevolent python as he secured his tail around her ankle, now beginning to lift her off the ground.
    Shanti was pulled upside-down, her long flowing brown hair splayed around, unorganised and wavy in motion. She struggled to keep her arms at her sides, finding that gravity forced them to dangle above her head. She couldn't see what was coiled around her ankle; she still thought that some of the boys from the village were pulling some sick joke on her.  The python licked his 'lips', his eyes bulging widely in vigour as he anticipated the following events.
    
"Come on boys, let me go, this really isn't amusing." Shanti laughed with an expression of frustration. They had always been cruel to her, but now this was beyond what one might classify as a joke. She was being hoisted towards the canopy upside-down, with her hair being ruined in the process. It was as if she had been caught on a trip-wire, the immediate response of being pulled into the air following, except it felt as if someone was deliberately doing this to her. As the tail pulled her up, a rather peculiar sight confronted Shanti.
    
"Why, hhhhhhhello there girl-cuuuuuuuub…" hissed the python, staring at her with the highest amount of interest. Shanti was simply taken aback, how could such a creature speak?
    
"Y-you…you can talk, but how?" she innocently questioned, feeling the movements of the wind against her soft, tanned skin.
    
"Of courssssssssssssse I can girl-cub, you will find that I can do many thingsssssss…" such was the softness of his voice; it went straight through to Shanti, relaxing her senses, which had been so heightened not too long ago. Anger and hatred were suddenly replaced with serenity, yet she was still contemplating his intentions.
    "How can you talk? You are nothing but a…a snake!" the girl-cub argued back, her eyes crossing into a forming frown. The python was shocked at her lack of respect, his mouth agape; words unable to come out fluently.
    "Why, jussssssst because I am an ssssssssily ssssssnake, does not mean I am like thossssssse other uninteresssssssting creaturesssssss! I have been blesssssssssed with the ability to ssssssspeak from the day of my birth girl-cub!" he sat her down, turning her the right way up as two of his coils formed a char for her to sit upon. Although she was relatively rude to him, he would brush it off and investigate her further, for she was truly a beautiful specimen. Shanti was a little nervous of his advancements, but she wanted to speak to him more, after all, she had never met such an oddity before. Ever so slowly, the coils beneath her began to rotate, soothing her, an attempt to indulge her senses.
    "May I ask your name?" the girl-cub asked, smiling pleasantly as her brown eyes seemed to sparkle.
    "Ccccccccertainly my dear, my name…isssssssss Kaa…" he told her, moving his head and body around to analyse her for potential strengths or weaknesses. She was slender, but her frame showed a decent level of muscle and girth, as well as those truly delicious legs, so long and shiny, they were almost ironically hypnotic to Kaa. His large eyes looked at her pretty face with the upmost delight, she certainly was a stunning specimen, so delectable.
    ''Hey, stop looking at me like I'm a piece of steak…it's freaking me out…" Shanti stuttered, turning her head away and making a timid expression. His length was loosely coiled around the branch, with his 'friend' sat on top of two of his coils.
    Being such a large snake, it was difficult to shift his bulk away from the safety of the river.
 "My dear, I only wisssssssh to be friendly…"
    "But, I've heard that your species are man-eaters, is that t-true?" Shanti asked as politely as she could. Although the situation frightened her, she would not risk further insults as the size of the snake indicated that it could inflict some harm upon her.

    ''Ssssay now, I'm not all familiar with that term…" Kaa made a puzzled gesture, pretending as if he did not know the meaning of the term 'man-eater'. Inside his mind, he chuckled, thinking of a plan. Shanti seemed to become more confident, but maintained her reserved nature.
    "So, you don't eat…ahem, people?" young Shanti again questioned, this time with a hint of a smile stretching across her face.
    
"No my dear! Asssss you know, a python of my sssssize would never dream of attempting ssssuch a thing…" he now encircled her neck, meeting her closer as his eyes stared into her own. Rotating it slowly around her and then retracting, Kaa attempted to lure her into a false sense of security.

    Meanwhile, back at the village, young Mowgli was becoming concerned as the minutes drew on. His friend was not one to miss meetings - she was always on time, highly organized and above all else, desired to see him as much as she could. In his vanity, he became angered at her lack of time-keeping; throwing a tantrum as he walked away in disgust.
    "Ugh, who does she think she is? Tricking me into waiting for her like this." Mowgli moaned to himself, scratching his bushy hair as he made his way home. If had been aware of Shanti’s true whereabouts, he would have been less angry.

    Shanti giggled to herself, seemingly enjoying the actions of Kaa. His next plan of action would be simple, to admire and complement the young girl.
    "Tell me, what isssss you name my dear?" Kaa asked politely, moving his bulk along the branch of the tree slowly towards her.
    "Oh, my name? My name is Shanti," she responded lightly, brushing her thick hair from her face as she grinned brightly.
    ''My my, what a…lovely name 'Ssssshanti', yessss that workssss just…tastily!"
    With a few more chuckles, the deceitful serpent drew ever closer his body to her own, under the branch, out of her field of vision.
    "What is that lissssssp of yours?'' she laughed as she copied his type of speech, placing her hand to her cheek. Kaa seemed intrigued by her act of humour, if a little offended also, but it gave him an ocean of ideas. With another advancement, Kaa pulled his neck around her forehead and began massaging her with it, at the same time pulling it down to try and blind her.
    
"Come now girl-cub, I won't hurt you, all I want issss to befriend you…" he whispered, dancing his tongue in her ear as he brought his coil around her ears, much to her dislike.
    "Stop, let go!" she struggled, trying to prize to snake off her face, but it was useless. With all of her weak attempts to free her eyes, the coil would not budge – she was blind. Whatever emotions of comfort Shanti once had were now vanquished as she tried to get free, becoming more and more frustrated.
    
"Why, there issss no need to ssssstruggle girl-cub…mmhmhmhmpphh!" Kaa giggled again, laughing at her futile efforts to release herself. More and more the frantic girl struggled to free herself, and with around five minutes of doing so, felt the coil give way. Kaa decided that it was boring messing around with her like this and finally released her head of his control. But, as Shanti opened her eyes, she met the swirling pair of Kaa, like spinning circles engulfed with a whole array of fascinating colours, the likes of which she had not witnessed before. Before she allowed herself to view them any longer, Shanti turned away, holding her hands to her eyes to prevent any temptation by her part to gaze into Kaa’s eyes. They were so majestic though, like fireflies dancing in the night sky, partnered by the ballerina-like multi-coloured moths.
    "Ssssshanti, look at me…" Kaa smoothly spoke, gripping her chin with his tail and gently pulling her close to him once more. Her eyes were wielded shut, with her two hands as guards.
    "I…can't…I won't!" she tried so hard to resist, but the sweetest of temptations began to swim into her mind, calling out to her to let her guard down. The poor girl desired strongly to look upon those eyes again, for they were prettier than all the variations of the rainbow. Kaa brushed his tail through her luscious thick hair, much to her embarrassing pleasure. A gush of blood began to filter to her cheeks; the blushing process had begun. In her mind, Shanti queried over the consequences of looking back into his eyes, and with much deliberation, gave in to her lusts.
    "P…Perhaps just one little look?" the girl-cub stuttered, precariously removing her hands from her eyes that were still firmly shut.  Her eyes finally began to open, with the aid of some light massaging of her chin by Kaa's tail, and were met with what she had wished for, the swirling circles of bliss. Kaa was into his groove now, the eyes whirring and twisting with highly desirable colours, turning Shanti's once brown eyes to the similar colour, only spinning in the opposite direction. Her mouth hung wide open; her vision fixated upon his own, her body leaning forward as Kaa slowly retreated backwards. The long winding body of the snake began to move up towards her, a safety net if she happened to lose her grip. More and more he forced her to follow his lead, drawing her towards the base of the tree they were in. Without consultation she followed suit, her body now in the position of a clambering spider monkey.
    "Yessssss my preccccccioussssss little girl-cub, come to me…"
    Shanti couldn't resist, his voice echoing through her ears was gorgeously irresistible!
    There would be no escape now, all Kaa had to do was to make sure she wouldn't injure herself. As she continued to crawl along the branch towards Kaa, she felt her body become lazy in motion; her hand placements were not as efficient as before. The hypnosis was taking her mind away to a distant land of indulgence, for she would have no control over her body now, she belonged to her captor. Suddenly without a hint of warning, the young girl began to fall from the branch, beginning a plummeting journey down towards the forest floor. In her imagination, Shanti was falling towards a bed of flowers, rather than sharp rocks and poisonous plants.

    "Where do you think you are goiiiiing?" hissed Kaa as he dove his tail down and coiled it around both of her ankles, binding them together. Once again Shanti was being held upside-down, apparently a regular occurrence, although she simply laughed at it maniacally this time as appose to being frustrated about it. With no amount of patience, Kaa pulled her back up and flipped her over. She was being held by the tip of his tail; smiling as he looked at her upside-down. A sharp lick of his 'lips' foretold his thoughts, thinking about how she would look within the confines of his stomach. Nevertheless, as she was balanced so expertly atop his tail, he knew that he must have some fun with her before the inevitable.
His body now formed a spiral, a zigzag with his coils making jagged shapes. Lowering her down, he released his hold of her and allowed her to travel along his body. It was amusing to Kaa, too watch her fly around on his body, completely at his mercy. It was like watching a rock get thrown around in a gathering of violent rapids in the river not too far away down the muddy slope. She was a rag-doll, unable to resist or move by her own will, Kaa manipulated her body so creatively, so enthusiastically. He was impressed at how flexible she was, seeming as she was a slim, yet muscular specimen. Long brown locks she sported sprayed around in unorthodox fashion as the snake entertained himself, giggling and flicking his forked-tongue in splendid pleasure. It had come his attention rather quickly that this girl-cub was a whole lot more fun than the accursed man-cub whom he had let escape on two occasions. But this one, being slid around by his body was…special, something about her drove Kaa to literally salivate out of sheer want. It was without remorse that he formed his spirals to form a tornado-shape spiral, allowing Shanti to twirl round and round towards another part of his body.
    "Mmmhmmphh! Are you…enjoying yoursssssself girl-cub?" questioned Kaa curiously as he now manipulated her into a seesaw position. Her smile was ever present, collaborated with by the spirals of her fluttering eyes, so big and beautiful.
''Yes Kaa.’’ Shanti replied, her tone much like that of a slave, short and straight to the point. It was by now that Kaa let his guard down and focused entirely on the seduction of this amazing girl-cub. His confidence boomed, relishing the fact that he had overpowered Shanti physically and mentally. Although, he saved his most prolific type of enslavement for last. Bringing her body close towards him, Kaa stood her upright, placing her limp arms at her sides as well as her legs tightly together.
    The hypnosis was relatively weak, with only her mind being subjected to a small amount of time, soon, the effects would wear off.
    "Now my delicccccciousssss little girl-cub, would you…care to hear a ssssong?"
    Shanti simply nodded back with a wide grin etched across her tanned face.
    "I thought sssssoooo…" he nodded back, jiggling his coils in delight. His tail now began to ebb and weave around her ankles and feet, starting the process of coiling around her entire body. Kaa's body began to bob and shuffle, forming a spiralling motion that Shanti could not help but become entranced by.
    "Truuusssssstttttt in meeeeeeeeeeee, juuuuuuusssssstt in meeeeeeeeeee…" he began to sing harmonically in fashion, his coils now beginning to wind further up the young girl's body. Shanti simply looked at him with a benevolent grin, succumbing to the sounds of his soothing voice, for it deeply pleasured her ears.
 "Ssssssshuuuuut your eyeeeessssssss, and truuuuussssttt in meeeeeeee, youuuuuu can ssssssssssleeeeeep ssssssssaaaafe and ssssssssound…"
    The coils now began to wrap around her thighs, gently keeping her hands to their sides as his coils began to follow the rhythmic tunes. He began to move closer, covering her area of vision with the entirety of his swirling eyes, making sure she would not stray afar. 
"Ssssssslip into ssssssssilent sssssssslumber…"
    His coils wrapped around her higher, getting notably thicker as he moved up her slim frame. 
"Sssssssssail on a sssssssilver missssssst, sssssssslowlyyyy and ssssssurely, your ssssssssenses will ccccccccease to resssissssssst!"
    With the addition of two more hefty coils, the continuous winding motion had spread up to Shanti's exposed stomach, his tail curving around it so gently, yet with utter pleasure. Her eyes were now lost in the sea of bright rainbow, bobbing her head to follow Kaa's movements.
    "Truuuusssssst in meeeeeeeee, jussssssst in meeeeeeee…"
    More of his body slowly twisted round her body, now moving up to her chest. He was especially careful when moving his body around this area as it seemed soft, and supple to the touch, which he would make a note of for later.
    "Thatsssssssss it, let the softness of my coilssssssss take you, let them roll and wrap around your tummy, your chest, for you are miiiiiiine…"
    "Yes Kaa, all…yours…" replied the dazed Shanti as she stared back at Kaa, her eyes swirling with a wide array of spectacular colours. His coils massaged her ever so tenderly, feeling every detail of her body. So relaxing was the sensation of his coils around her body, that Shanti found herself drifting off into a state of tiredness. The hypnosis mixed with the motions of the rotating coils were taking their toll on the young girl.
    "Uahhh!" the girl-cub yawned, her mouth opening wide as she closed her eyes. The hypnotic effect did not simply come to a conclusion as she shut her eyes, the power was now encased within her; there would be no escape now.
    "What'sssssssss the matter, my dear? Getting a little, sssssssleeeeeeepy?" Kaa hissed to her, using his tail to cup her chin and bring his own face closer to hers. The long, black tongue flickered out at her nose, causing her too giggle somewhat. His master plan was coming to its master ending, with Shanti now falling asleep in his very grasp. The coils clutched her tighter, as Kaa could ill-afford for his quarry to escape now, after all that hard work of seducing her.  But he also wanted to test her...
The coils now began to tighten around Shanti, being sure as to not miss any part of her body. All around they pressed harder, constricting her, preventing the ease of inhaling. Groaned she did, the very air she depended on being forcibly exhaled from her lungs. The winding, chunky coils continued to roll and grind against her physique, making sure there was absolutely no hint of slack. Her face began to grow red, the hefty muscle squeezing her tighter and tighter, hugging her like a long-lost relative.
    
"Finding it a little hard to breath?" Kaa asked her, flickering his tongue against her cheek as he watched her strain and contort her face into a wide smile, teeth grinding against one another.  Like clockwork the coils continued to squeeze Shanti more, rolling over and over, pulling her tighter and tighter. Such was the squeeze Kaa was administering, that Shanti began to shake and buckle, wheezing away as she tried to breathe. As she was still under the effects of abyssal hypnosis, she dared not to resist, for her master would be displeased. With another squeeze, the scintillating view Kaa had of watching Shanti get squeezed in his mighty coils caused strands of his own drool to drop from his mouth. Anticipation was bliss, as he imagined swallowing the poor girl whole, cradling her within his cosy belly until the time came for digestion
    ."C…ca…"
    "Sssssomething the matter my dear?"

    "Can't…breath!" she managed to say as her face turned purple.
    "I think it'ssssssss time to ccccccccceasssssee this cccccharade, don't you?" he asked, massaging her head with his tail, pushing her hair back behind her head. With a quick nod by his captive, Kaa loosened his coils and moved down towards her exposed soles.
His tongue slithered out, licking up and down around the base of her feet. Shrills of laughter began to echo out through the canopy as Shanti was tickled remorselessly by Kaa's tongue. In response, she bobbed around in his coils, but they were tight enough to prevent her from shifting too much. Again and again he licked, sometimes slowly, but at other times rather quickly, for her devilishly ticklish feet were something of a secret, something she kept from her friends at her village. With a movement of the coil once covering her stomach, Kaa's tail slid up secretly, beginning to lightly dance the tip across her skin. Louder shrikes vacated Shanti's mouth, for her stomach was her more sensitive area, unbelievably ticklish even to the lightest of touches. She was being tickled, by a snake, trapped in the coils, in the privacy of the canopy, there was no way out of this.
    More and more, the experience of being tickled encouraged Shanti to giggle and laugh beyond normal decibel tolerance. This was becoming too much, as Kaa now manoeuvred towards her armpits, removing his coils and binding her arms above her head, using his tail to coil around her wrists. Now, at the sheer exposure of it all, Kaa began to tickle her underarms. Fiery forms of laughter escaped her mouth, kicking and squirming in reflex, desperation seeping in, a desperation that would not be quenched.
    With tiredness setting in to Kaa's mind, he sat Shanti down beside the tree, leaning her back up against the base.
    "Did you enjoy that my…ssssssweeeet?" Kaa asked kindly, hissing as he glared at his soon-to-be prey.

    "Y-yes Kaa," the obedience of Shanti was unmatched, for never before had Kaa had such a well-behaved victim under the influence of his tricks.  Again his coils wrapped around her body, the last tightening around her throat. With a gulp, Shanti's eyes closed and then re-opened, the effects of the hypnosis now wearing off.
    "Wha…where am I?" she asked feebly, opening and then closing her eyes as her head bobbed back and forth. A long strand of saliva forced her too remember, and as she looked up at the wide mouth of Kaa, she realised that she had been falsely seduced. The mouth of Kaa was extremely wide, dripping with saliva and moving down towards the top of her head. The python had waited a very long time for this exact moment to arrive, and was overwhelmed with excitement as he moved closer. Hope was dashed, there would be no escape for her now, with the coils still firmly squeezing her body, and she couldn't budge an inch.
    As the numerous coils kept her bound, Kaa's mouth slipped over the crown of her head, the elastic stretch making it easy to swallow over her. At this particular point, swallowing the helpless girl was easy, her head after all being not too dissimilar from that of other animals Kaa consumed. Shanti was past the point of tears and grief, the warm flesh of her captor's mouth now pressing against her face. The warmth inside was very peculiar, mixed with the amount of mucus and drool now shrouding around her tanned neck as Kaa moved ever so slowly down her delicious body. In her mind, she screamed for freedom, but the suffocating aromas inside the python's body were somehow subduing her struggles. With exception, Shanti's legs kicked on odd occasion, the coils now leaving her body as Kaa lifted his head up. With this method, he could swallow his prey much faster. Down she went, through the soft, pink insides of Kaa, travelling on a journey that would end at his stomach. His mouth passed her chest, making her easier to balance as he continued swallowing her whole. 
An on-looker would see that the snake had utter control over her, only teasing her by lifting her directly into the air, swallowing her whole with vertical style. As her hips were next in line, saliva and other bodily fluids, a sheer sign that she had been completely and utterly dominated by this grand serpent coated Shanti's belly. It felt unusually ticklish, especially around her bellybutton as it seeped in like a blob of slime, a monstrous intrusion by its part. Being ticklish there, muffled laughter could be heard from within Kaa's body, the doomed girl having a last moment of enjoyment before the inevitable. Finally, with a last weak kick of her feet, the rest of Shanti was swallowed whole, Kaa's mouth closing over. Reshaping his jaw, the man-eating python yawned with pleasure, finally eating a delectable girl-cub, who was much more of a worthwhile meal than that retched Mowgli.
    Here, Shanti would remain, trapped within the pink, fleshy prison of Kaa's inescapable belly, awaiting her fate.
