Cicada (Dabi/Reader)

I wanted to write this before camping season is over...

The chirping of cicadas echoed across the campground. Trilling and buzzing away. I silently thanked myself for buying a portable hand fan before taking this job. The only protection between me and the sun was a wide-brimmed hat that the camp leaders gave out, and being that it was noon, it was nothing compared to the beaming rays above. The voice of another camp counselor droned on as he ran through a needlessly long list of rules. An elbow nudged into my ribs. I looked at the man seated next to me. A shaggy head of black hair covered his eyes and the silver of his piercings hit the light in a way that made me squint. His expression, a cocky smirk, was one that made me shiver in disgust. Nevertheless, his lips parted.

“What are you doing working at a Boy Scout camp?” He smirked, fingers running through his hair. “Last time I checked, being a boy is one of the prerequisites.”

I huffed, eyes rolling before settling back on him. Deciding that talking to him wasn’t worth my time, I simply turned my head and pretended to focus on the orientation. His cyan eyes stayed focused on me, just barely visible in my peripherals. His tongue darted out to lick his lips.

“Oh come on…” he muttered, elbowing me again.

“I wouldn’t fuck with someone who has a hunting knife,” I muttered, crossing my arms in front of my chest.

“Oh, as if you know how to use that shit.” He laughed. I gripped the handle of the knife and pulled it from the holster on my jeans.

“You wanna test that?” I smirked, holding the blade up. The teeth of the serrated blade glimmered against the beaming sun.

“I’d enjoy it too much, doll.” He chuckled lowly. His response made my stomach churn. The suggestive tone of his voice only added to my revulsion.

“At least I’ll finally get my castration badge.” I tilted the tip of the knife down to his crotch. His chuckle turned into a bellowing laugh. Thirty or so sets of eyes landed on us. I quickly sheathed my blade back in its holster, trying to avoid a lecture, or at least an even longer one.

The once blazing sun had long since set beyond the horizon. The glare of the moon illuminated the land in a blue sheen. The newly erected tents were still and silent. The only noises were coming from a campfire, in front of which was the handful of counselors still awake long past the tick of midnight

“Say, what's was that little outburst you’s two had?” One of the counselors spoke up, speaking through a mouthful of s’mores.

“Shitty joke,” I muttered as I focused on turning the white marshmallow on my stick into a golden one.

“You guys ever heard of a castration badge?” Dabi spoke up. A golden flame erupted on the end of my stick, turning the marshmallow into a melted mess of gelatin.

“Yup. They taught me about it the first year they joined.” Keigo, another counselor, spoke up.

“Oh so this is just a thing for you, isn’t it?” Dabi laughed. I looked up from the molten mess, coming face to face with the same self-assured grin from this afternoon.

I stood up from my fold-out chair, hand reaching into my back pocket to grab the pack of cigarettes.

“I’m gonna take a hike,” I muttered, not bothering to ask for permission.

Even though the land was beset with darkness, I followed along the half-forged path toward the lakefront. A dull hum of insect chirps blanketed the land in a pool of sound. I could see little glimmers of the water glowing in the moonlight, just beyond the tree line. On the banks sat an old decaying log spattered with fungus and mold. I kicked off my hiking boots and socks, leaving them by the log. Walking further down onto the shore, I let the water begin to rush over my skin. Just enough to cook me off. I lowered myself onto the ground. I placed a cigarette between my lips and sparked a light. The orange glow lit up the dark surroundings just for long enough. Just until the smoke started flowing from the cigarette. The musty flavor washed over my tongue as I inhaled.

“Came out here to skinny dip?” A voice asked behind me. I looked over my shoulder to see the black-haired man from before, Dabi.

“Yeah. My naked body just happens to look completely clothed.” I muttered as I blew a plume of smoke at him.

“I can see.” He chuckled as he took a drag from his own cigarette and sat down beside me.

“It’s a medical condition, actually. Called ‘leave-me-the-fuck-alone-sarcoma’”

Smoke wafted through the air between us. He clicked his tongue. His black hair flailed as he shook his head.

“Why are you so mean to me?” He asked, snuffing his half-smoked cigarette out in the grass.

“I don’t have a reason. Spite just began to build in me after you said your first word to me.” I shrugged. He handed me a can. Through the dark, I caught a glimpse of the label. Some shitty hard seltzer.

“Does that make up for it?” He asked, cracking open his own can.

“Fair enough. I’ll take it.” I laughed lightly as I pulled the tab on the top. Bringing the can up to my lips, I took a small sip. It tasted like a soda that sat in the sun for too long. Washed out flavor, but just enough to leave an unpleasant aftertaste.

“So speaking of skinny dipping, wanna go?” He asked, setting his drink down beside himself. I contemplated thoughts circling through my head on an endless loop. Deciding that a month in the woods without an orgasm would be too daunting of a task to accomplish, I spoke up.

“Why not,” I smirked and stood up, setting my can beside his. Through the faint glow of the moonlight, I watched as his eyes widened. Maybe it was to egg him on, or for some desperate need for attention, but I made a show of slowly discarding my clothes. Leaving my underwear for last. The water chilled my skin as I stepped into the depths, going far enough out for the water to reach up to my chest. I turned around, watching him as he stepped into the lake, quickly following behind me. I grabbed his arm, pulling him close. His lips collided with mine, arms coming to wrap around my waist. His stiff cock nudged against my stomach. Fingers slowly slid down my side, trailing to my hips and down. Hooking under my knees and pulling me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist, lips still attached to his, working back and forth. I reached around to grab his cock. Running my hand down the shaft I felt something hard. Something cold.

“Are you pierced?” I asked, pulling away from his lips.

“Ribbed for pleasure,” he spoke briefly, diving back in to attack my neck. I gripped his hair and pulled hard. A groan spilled from his lips.

“Not the neck,” I mumbled as I began stroking his shaft. His lips crashed against mine again, slick with saliva.

“Let me fuck you,” he mumbled against my lips. His fingernails dug into my skin hard enough to leave marks.

“Take me to the shore,” I spoke next to his ear, tongue darting out to lick his helix. The cool water began to splash over our bodies as he trudged off toward the shore, back to our pile of scattered clothes and half-empty cans. My back met the cold dewy grass. Hands quickly went to my thighs, spreading them wide. Cerulean eyes stayed locked on me as he began kissing my thighs. Light pecks of his lips turned harsher. From kitten licks to rough, bruising bites. The dark purple marks were visible on my skin, even in the limited lighting. Purple petals slowly trailing up to my cunt, close enough to make my hips buck. Close enough to send heat through my body. And then back again. I whimpered as he moved to the other thigh, coating it in purple and red to match his previous marks. My fingers curled into his black locks, tugging gently, egging him on in a silent beg for stimulation. He obliged, licking a thick stripe up my cunt. Two fingers slowly circled my entrance. He pulled back to watch me as I squirmed.

“You want my tongue?” He asked, fingertips breaching my core. He started a rough pace. My hips jolted against the force of his fingers.

“P-please!” I spoke through involuntary pleas and whines. He chuckled, hot breath hitting my core. His tongue slowly circled around my clit, swirling lazily and drawing my body further into a heated frenzy. My hips bucked against his face. His free arm was thrown over my stomach, locking my body in place. His licks grew faster, more focused, and centered on my clit this time. My thighs shook as pleasure began to build in my stomach. A groan emitted from his throat, the vibrations edging me closer to bliss. Lust’s firm grip began to coil around my body, constricting my limbs, and pulling the thoughts from my head.

“Mh close-” I managed to squeal out through unfiltered cries. My words only urged him to push me deeper into my bliss. Lips sealed around my clit, the suction, and warmth causing my head to spin. White blankets of static clouded my vision. My jaw hung slack in a silent scream as I came. Fingers knotted tighter in his hair.

But the stimulation didn’t stop, instead, it grew rougher, my hips bouncing against the force of his fingers. Broken cries clawed their way up from my lungs. Pins and needles dug into my limbs, a soft cold accompanying them and freezing my body into a stiff expression of bliss. Molding me into a grotesque, erotic statue of sorts. His tongue sent electric stimulation to my stomach, chiseling away at any restraint I had left. Rough, howling noises escaped from my tongue. A hand quickly covered my mouth, bringing the taste of musty earth and algae to my teeth. Stiff limbs quickly turned into rubber, melting as the pleasure constricted around me again. The hand over my mouth muffled a desperate plea, a plea not for help, not for anything.

The warmth of his body dissipated and shifted away.

“You okay?” He asked, a hand stroking my cheek. I simply nodded, sore throat unable to speak. I was being turned onto my knees, my body bending over the decaying log. The head of his cock prodded at my cunt, slowly slipping inside.

“Fuuuuuuck,” He drew out as he pushed deeper inside of me. The drag of his piercings against my inside sparked jolts of stimulation deep inside my stomach. My teeth sunk into my bottom lip, hard enough for droplets of blood to invade my mouth with their metallic taste. My stomach knotted as the tip of his cocked brushed against my cervix. My fingers dug into the grass. Strands of grass whined and creaked as I pulled them from their roots. His hips snapped back and forth at a bruising pace. The rough grain of the log cut into my stomach as my body rocked against the wood. My toes curled, muscles in my body going taught as my insides stretched. I heard him from behind me. Biting down on his tongue, trapping any sounds, only coming out as huffing breaths. With the little strength I had, I clenched around him, bursting the lid off of his voice box. Desperate, whining, sounds mingled and tangled together. The sound of slaps being the only noise that broke the crescendo of moans. His hands slid up my back, his torso following alongside and pressing against me. The new angle lit a fire somewhere deeper inside me. The flame's tendrils licked at my limbs, burning its mark deeper inside me. My cunt seized around him, gripping him firmly. His hips moved erratically, losing the once consistent pace it kept. Nails dug into my back, my arms, anywhere and everywhere they could reach. Warmth flooded my insides, burning hot. The firm grip of my arousal began to dissipate, lulling my body into a soft haze. The heat inside my body began to die down, and the cold of the night greeted my body with a stinging kiss. The grass now underneath my back pricked up a flood of goosebumps.

“You okay, doll?” Dabi asked. My eyes pulled away from their unfocused gaze and settled onto his body. The light of the moon brought an ethereal glow to his frame. Pale skin, covered in black ink, a paradisiacal contrast under the silver light of night.

The only response I could make was a single finger, curled towards me. Soft arms wrapped around me, pulling me in. My head settled in The Valley of his chest. A soft warmth enveloped me, shielding me from the bitter cold of night.

Candlewood Lake

Nestled in the heart of western Connecticut, Candlewood Lake is the state's largest freshwater body and a beloved destination for nature lovers, boaters, anglers, and vacationers. Spanning 8.4 square miles and stretching across five towns��New Milford, Danbury, Brookfield, Sherman, and New Fairfield��this man-made reservoir is not only a recreational paradise but also a vital resource for hydroelectric power. With its pristine waters, scenic surroundings, and rich history, Candlewood Lake continues to be a cherished attraction for both locals and visitors alike.

The History of Candlewood Lake

Candlewood Lake was created in the late 1920s as part of a hydroelectric project by Connecticut Light & Power. The idea was to generate renewable energy by flooding the valley between New Milford and Danbury. The project involved relocating farms, homes, and cemeteries before the valley was filled with water. Today, remnants of this past, including submerged roads and stone walls, remain hidden beneath the lake's depths, adding a sense of mystery to its waters.

The lake takes its name from Candlewood Mountain, which was once a prominent landmark in the region. Since its completion, Candlewood Lake has become a recreational haven and an economic boost for the surrounding communities, attracting thousands of visitors each year.

Recreational Activities at Candlewood Lake

Candlewood Lake offers a wide range of outdoor activities that cater to adventure seekers and relaxation enthusiasts alike.

With over 60 miles of shoreline and expansive open water, Candlewood Lake is a prime spot for boating, jet skiing, water skiing, wakeboarding, and kayaking. Several marinas around the lake offer boat rentals and docking facilities, making it accessible to both boat owners and visitors.

2. Fishing

Candlewood Lake is a renowned fishing destination, home to various fish species such as largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, trout, and perch. The lake's unique structure, with its deep waters and underwater vegetation, creates an ideal habitat for fish, making it a popular location for competitive and recreational anglers.

3. Swimming and Beaches

During the summer months, Candlewood Lake’s beaches become a hotspot for families and sunbathers. Some of the best beaches include Lynn Deming Park in New Milford and Squantz Pond State Park in nearby New Fairfield. These areas provide safe swimming zones, picnic areas, and stunning views of the lake.

4. Hiking and Scenic Trails

The rolling hills surrounding Candlewood Lake offer numerous hiking and nature trails. Hikers can explore Lover’s Leap State Park in New Milford, where they can enjoy panoramic views of the lake from the cliffs. Other nearby trails, such as those in Pootatuck State Forest, offer a peaceful escape into nature.

6. Wildlife Watching

Candlewood Lake is home to an abundance of wildlife, including bald eagles, ospreys, deer, and various waterfowl. Nature enthusiasts can enjoy birdwatching or simply take in the serenity of the lake’s ecosystem.

The Waterfront Lifestyle and Real Estate

The picturesque setting of Candlewood Lake has made it a highly sought-after location for waterfront homes and vacation properties. The lake’s proximity to New York City (just 90 minutes away) makes it a perfect retreat for city dwellers looking to escape the urban hustle. Homes along the shoreline range from cozy cabins to luxurious lakefront estates, offering breathtaking views and direct water access.

Many of these properties have private docks, making boating and fishing incredibly convenient. The demand for real estate in this region continues to grow, driven by the lake’s charm and the lifestyle it offers.

Fall Foliage

Autumn transforms Candlewood Lake into a breathtaking landscape of red, orange, and yellow hues. The crisp air and colorful foliage make it an ideal time for scenic drives, hiking, and photography. Fall is also a great time for bass fishing, as the cooler waters attract larger fish to the surface.

While summer is the most popular season, winter at Candlewood Lake has its own charm. The lake often freezes over, providing opportunities for ice fishing, ice skating, and even snowmobiling. The surrounding trails become a winter wonderland for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

Environmental Conservation and Lake Preservation

Preserving the health of Candlewood Lake is a top priority for local authorities and environmental groups. Organizations such as the Candlewood Lake Authority actively work to maintain water quality, prevent invasive species, and educate the public about sustainable lake usage.

Recent concerns, such as blue-green algae blooms and invasive zebra mussels, have prompted increased efforts to monitor and manage the lake’s ecosystem. Boaters are encouraged to clean their vessels before entering the lake to prevent the spread of invasive species.

Whether you’re on a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a solo adventure, kayaking provides a unique and exciting way to create unforgettable memories. Imagine paddling along the shoreline, taking in the stunning views, and enjoying quality time with loved ones – it’s an experience that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Safety and Training Measures Offered by Rental Companies

Many locations have staff available on-site to assist with any questions or concerns during your outing. This support adds an extra layer of confidence for both beginners and experienced kayakers alike.

GEORGIA

2023 Dec 5 (Tue) – We drove into historic downtown St. Mary’s today. It is a small town right on the bay. There was a national parks museum about the Cumberland Island National Seashore. It was a small museum but informative museum. We stopped for lunch at a café on the waterfront.

After lunch, we drove back to back and did some shopping at the commissary. Once all the groceries were put away, Paul worked on the front cap of the RV. It has been separating. He reattached one side, then the other side needed reinforcing. Then the screws all fell off one side. He worked on reattaching everything today. We are trying to hold on until we can get to the RV show and buy a new rig. Hold on, Clark!

2023 Dec 4 (Mon) – We departed Hardeeville a little after 10:30 a.m. The drive was along a mostly two-lane highway with a short sprint on I-95. We arrived in Kings Bay, GA, a little after 1 p.m. We are staying at the Kings Bay submarine base. The campground is lovely. We are in a pull-thru site right on the lakefront. Signs warn not to harass or feed the alligators. We are here for 2 nights.
