"Aaah.." Ryan smiled and laid down under a tree in the forest, using a sleeping bag as a mattress and his backback as a pillow. It was Sunday, and Ryan had decided to go hiking in the forest to get some fresh air after one week of work. He was an average guy, 21 years old, brown hair and eyes, and a rather thin body. Ryan was a photographer, although his job mostly consisted in photographing buildings, people or rooms, nothing that excited him a lot. Even in his free days, Ryan always carried with himself a camera, in case of a special scene to immortalize. After all, he knew that some photos happen once in a life. The youth sighed happily and began to close his eyes in relaxation, when a rustle in the nearby bushes caught his attention. Ryan looked at the bush, as it kept rustling. He got up and prepared to run, but what came out of the bush was anything but dangerous. A bear pup walked slowly out of the bush and stared at Ryan curiously. He walked closer to the little animal, slowly and carefully in order not to startle it, "Don't worry little one, I'm not going to harm you at all" he said in a low, calm voice. The pup didn't move, it didn't seem scared of the unknown human, as Ryan reached out and petted his head. At that point, he slowly grabbed his camera and pointed it at the cub. He pressed the button and took a picture of the little animal, but he made a big mistake: he didn't turn the flash off. The pup, blinded by the flash of the camera, backed away whimpering and disappeared into the bushes. A chill went down Ryan's spine as he realized that pup he startled probably had a mother not far away from there. Everyone knows how ferocious bears are when they have to protect their pups.



Before he could turn around, Ryan was startled by a sound of footsteps; he kept his eyes on the bush and backed away, then a roar was heard. A big grizzly bear emerged from the bushes and roared at him again, it was the mother of that pup. Ryan's instinct was about to make him run away, but that would have just worsened the situation. By watching documentaries, Ryan had learned that the best two ways to avoid a bear's attack are faking death and looking bigger than the bear. He widened his sweatshirt in order to look bigger, but the bear wasn't impressed at all, and she hit Ryan's chest with a paw, sending him onto the ground and making him lose consciousness. Hidden between the trees, someone was watching the scene worriedly. It was a rare creature, a naga named Nadine. Her long, purple-colored snake body reached a length of at least five meters, and she had human-like arms. Her beautiful blue eyes watched the entire scene, as the bear approached to the now unconscious boy. Nadine gasped at the sight of the bear's claws on Ryan's neck; she grabbed a little pebble and threw it at a trunk near the bear, catching her attention. The naga showed up slowly, and the bear stared at her; she was much bigger than the mammal, which got scared and backed away slowly. The bear growled at her, but Nadine's eyes were pointed to hers. The bear lowered her head in a gesture of surrender and walked away. Nadine sighed in relief and approached to Ryan. The boy was unconscious, and the sun was already beginning to go down to the horizon; she had to carry Ryan to a safer place. Nadine gently grabbed the boy in her arms and elegantly slithered through the forest, heading to her den.



Nadine slithered into a big cave, its entrance was hidden by vines placed by her; the elegant naga went deeper into the cave and reached its edge. She looked at Ryan with a worried expression, "Poor thing.." she examined his body and luckily she couldn't find any wounds, except for a little bruise where the bear hit him. Nadine put him down on a soft straw bed and curled up gently around him, her coils wrapped around him in a gentle hug. Ryan was still unconscious, the bear's attack was much stronger than it seemed to be. Nadine looked out of the cave through the vines and noticed that the Sun was already hidden behind the horizon, as clouds started covering the sky. It was about to start raining. She looked at Ryan and decided to sleep with him that night, to keep him warm and safe. She tightened the coils a little bit, giving him her warmth. She licked his cheek with her forked tongue and smiled, she actually liked his taste; Ryan didn't wake up for the lick, as he kept sleeping. Nadine grinned and slowly took his shoes off, putting them on the ground; she put her tail under Ryan's nape, slightly lifting his head from the ground. The naga brought her head close to Ryan's and opened her mouth wide, letting her tongue out. She licked his face once more, tasting him with her sensitive tongue. She then started to swallow his head, unhinging her jaws to accomodate her prey. Her inner cheeks and palate wetted Ryan's head with saliva as she smiled for the taste of her meal. Holding Ryan's side with her hands, Nadine swallowed more of him, reaching the base of his neck within a few seconds.



Ryan's head entered her slimy, warm esophagus as she kept swallowing, enjoying his taste. Soon, Ryan's side got into her tight, soft stomach as Nadine swallowed up to his hips. The naga paused for a bit, then she started swallowing again, sending Ryan deeper in her stomach; her belly swelled as Ryan slid further, still unconscious. Nadine's lips reached Ryan's knees as the boy was now swallowed up to his thighs. She grabbed Ryan's ankles with her hands, to help herself swallow her large meal. She kept swallowing and pushing him deeper, until Ryan finally disappeared in the back of her mouth. He slid down totally in Nadine's stomach, forming a big bulge on her belly. The stomach was a warm, soft, slimy sack with no acid at all. Nadine licked her lips and let out a small satisfied burp, then she turned around and looked at her belly; everything went right, and Ryan was now safe and warm inside her stomach. She nuzzled her belly in the spot where Ryan's face was and blushed a bit; "Good night, little one" she rested her head on her belly and coiled up, giving Ryan an intense warmth which fought the cold of the night. Suddenly, Nadine could feel a movement inside her stomach and lifted her head from it; she looked at her belly and noticed that Ryan was moving slightly. She smiled and sighed in relief, Ryan was safe and sound and he was about to wake up. As she watched the slight squirms of her prey, only one question went through her mind: "How will he react when he wakes up in a stomach?"



Ryan finally opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by darkness, in a tight, warm place that felt like a big, wet sleeping bag. He began to shiver in fear and looked around, but anything he could see was darkness; He squirmed a bit, only giving Nadine a nice feeling. She rubbed her belly, "You finally woke up, little one" she said in a soft voice, "W-Who are you!? Where am I?!" Ryan squirmed frantically, "You're in my stomach, sweetie" she stroked her belly. Ryan's eyes widened in fear and he began to struggle more, "I-In your stomach!? L-Let me out, please! I don't want to die!" he shouted, nearly tearing up; Nadine chuckled a bit, "You're not going to die, little one! You're perfectly safe in there" she brought her head closer to her belly. "S-Safe? I'm in a stomach! I'm going to be-", "No", Nadine interrupted him, "You're not going to be digested. I can control my digestive process and stop it at will" she explained. Ryan seemed to have calmed down a tiny bit, mostly because he was in no pain, "E-Even if you can do t-that.. How can I trust you..? How can I know that you won't kill me?" Ryan asked afraid, "Listen, are you in any pain? Do you see any acid?" Nadine asked. "No.. and.." he looked around and realized that actually there wasn't a single drop of acid, "No.." he began to calm down. "See? You're safe in there. If I wanted to hurt you, I would have done that while you were unconscious" she nuzzled her belly; "I.. I suppose you're right.. But.. Why did you eat me..? And what happened to that bear..?" Ryan asked.



Nadine smiled, "I've been secretly watching you since you entered this forest, and I continuously repeated to myself that I would have eaten you. When that bear attacked you, I couldn't just stare at you and let her kill you. You lost consciousness after her first hit, and I scared her off to prevent her from killing you, then I brought you to my cave and swallowed you alive, both for my own amusement and to keep you warm" she explained patiently. Ryan smiled and teared up a little bit; those were happy tears. "You.. You saved my life, despite I didn't do anything for you?" he asked incredulous, "Of course! I can't let someone die, especially if they're as cute as you!" Nadine giggled. Ryan now felt really safe inside her, and he rubbed one of the walls gently, giving Nadine a nice feeling. "Thank you, miss naga, I'll never forget what you've done for me today, and I'll always be grateful to you" Ryan blushed and rubbed the walls, "You're welcome, sweetie. Don't call me miss naga, it sounds so formal! My name is Nadine" she smiled and massaged her belly slightly, "Ok, Nadine, my name is Ryan, I'm very happy I met you"  Ryan couldn't hold a yawn. "Are you sleepy, sweetie?" Nadine stroked her belly, "Yes, it's been a long day exploring, and I'm really tired.." Ryan yawned again, "Well, if you want, you can sleep in my tummy!" Nadine smiled and patted her belly. Ryan grinned widely, "I really can? Thank you!" he squirmed a bit to get comfortable. Nadine rubbed her belly content, "You're welcome, little one, I wish you a good night and happy dreams" Nadine kissed her belly and coiled up, resting her head on it. Ryan relaxed and closed his eyes, falling asleep soon; Nadine fell asleep a few minutes later.



The night passed quickly, and so did the storm, which ceased a couple hours after Ryan and his new friend fell asleep. The sun was already high in the sky as Nadine woke up, unhinging her jaws in a long yawn. The day was bright and sunny, yet a bit cold, due to the humidity that the storm left behind. The naga looked at her own swollen belly; it was moveless, but she could hear Ryan snore softly, peacefully asleep in her comfortable stomach. Nadine smiled and slithered out of her cave, being slow and careful in order not to wake Ryan up. As her friend slept happily inside of her stomach, the naga reached a big apple tree and slithered up the trunk, as gracefully as a python would do. Her big belly didn't seem to obstacle her climb, and the climb didn't seem to disturb Ryan's sleep. Nadine picked up some apples and held them in her hands, coiling up around the thickest branch and letting her belly sway down, like a hammock for Ryan. The latter soon woke up; he looked around and got scared at first, then he remembered that he had been swallowed by Nadine, and that he was safe inside of her. He rubbed the walls slightly, "Good morning, Nadine.." he yawned, still sleepy, "Hello there! Did you sleep well?" Nadine slowly slithered down the tree, "Well? I slept great! I don't know how this can be possible, but your stomach is way better than the bed I have at home!" Ryan smiled happily. "I'm glad you like it, but it's time for you to get out, I have breakfast for you!" Nadine said as she finally reached the ground, "Breakfast?" Ryan asked curiously, wondering what Nadine could have found for breakfast in a forest. "Get ready, I'm about to cough you up" she said as she lowered her head, "Okay" Ryan nodded.



Nadine opened her mouth and tighened the muscles of her throat, starting to squeeze Ryan back into the back of her mouth. Ryan felt a little strange, he had been in Nadine's stomach, but he wasn't conscious when she swallowed him; that was a new experience to him. He smiled and waited, as the muscles of Nadine's esophagus slowly and gently brought him back to her mouth. Soon, his eyes could see the sunlight as Nadine kept regurgitating him; in a few seconds he was out, on the ground and covered in saliva. "It.. It was odd.. but not that bad" Ryan smiled a bit, "Even though I will need a shower now!" he added, chuckling. Nadine coiled up around him in a gentle hug, squeezing him a tiny bit and giving him her warmth. "So.. what brings you into the forest all alone?" Nadine nuzzled his head, "I'm a photographer, and yesterday was my free day, so I decided to enjoy the peace of the forest" Ryan went red at her nuzzles. "I think that explains why you're carrying that weird metal thing" Nadine looked at Ryan's camera, which didn't get ruined by the saliva as it was waterproof. He picked it up, "You mean this? This is a camera, a thing that we humans use" he said, polishing it a bit, "Oh, I'm not very expert in human technology. What do you use it for?" she asked, visibly curious about it as she examined it with her forked tongue. She made a disgusted face at the metal flavour of the camera, "It surely isn't food" she giggled. "No, it's not food. Cameras are used to create an image of what they frame. That image can be printed and kept as a remembrance, or sold for money" Ryan explained. "Wow, it looks interesting, I wish you tried that with me" she smiled; Ryan blushed, he was about to take a picture of a splendid naga, "S-Sure!" he said full of joy.



Nadine uncoiled, freeing him, "So.. How does it work?" she asked, tilting her head a bit, "Just stay still for a few seconds in a pose you want, and I will take a picture. This model of camera can print them immediately" Ryan made a few steps back. Nadine nodded and got in her pose: she opened her mouth wide, letting her tongue out and closing one eye in a wink; her arms were crossed, and her long tail was coiled around the body. Ryan smiled, that was going to be a great photo. "Perfect. Stay still for three, two, one.." he clicked a button and took a picture, "Stop! It's done!" he waited for the camera to print it. Nadine slithered closer as the photo finally came out of the camera; she looked at it, "Wow, I look great!" she smiled, "Nadine, can I keep this photo as a remembrance of meeting you?" Ryan asked, a bit embarrassed; "Don't say that, you make it sound like we will never see each other again. Of course you can keep the photo, but visit me sometimes" she nuzzled him, "I won't forget to!" Ryan hugged her neck. "Would you like to try and take a picture of me?" he smiled, handing her the camera, "I don't know how to.." she looked at it perplexed. "It's very easy, just look into that little square. What you see is what will appear in the photo. When you're ready, click that button on top of the camera and the camera will take a picture" Ryan explained, showig her how to use the camera. "Ok, I think I'm ready" she said, looking into the lens; Ryan stepped back and got in a pose, looking around with his hands in his pockets, like he felt lost. Nadine clicked the button and took a picture, which got printed in a few seconds. They both looked at it, "Good job, Nadine! Really not bad for a first time using a camera! You can keep this photo" Ryan smiled, "Thanks!" Nadine took the photo with a smile. "Nadine, I have to go now, I need to back home" Ryan was a little sad to leave her, "Oh, okay.. When will you visit me next time?" she nuzzled him, "Tomorrow, I promise" Ryan smiled and hugged her tight. They enjoyed that moment for half a minute, before Ryan broke the hug and looked into her eyes. A blush colored his face, "I have to say that you're really gorgeous.." he looked away; Nadine kissed his cheek, "Thank you, sweetie! You should go now, or you'll be late" she grinned. Ryan nodded, "See you tomorrow!" he ran off; Nadine waved at him with a smile, before Ryan went out of her sight.
