The journey to Nepal had been tiring, but worth it. The mountains were beautiful, but you couldn't go anywhere without going up and down, and especially for people from the plains of Bulgaria, walking in these altitudes was quite exhausting. Despite that, Atanas and Nadia walked as much as they could, loving every minute in the untamed nature of Nepal. On that particular day, they had been crossing a valley, heading to an ancient monastery that their guidebook said was of exceptional beauty. They had veered off the road to enjoy the countryside, but at some point, they had lost the path. For the past half hour, Atanas was certain they were lost. He wasn't seriously worried, the area was not remote, there were people in the nearby areas, and it was still morning. Still, the situation was not ideal. The lower air density had left them more tired than they had estimated, and they needed a rest. Just at the right moment, they saw a hut a little further up the slope. A flock of sheep was grazing behind it. Naturally, where there are sheep, there are dogs. Their barking must have alerted someone, because the door of the hut opened, and a young man of about 20 years came out.
He approached them cautiously, and said 'good morning' in Nepali, which was the only phrase that Atanas or Nadia had managed to learn. After that, they just stared at him in confusion. He was thin and wiry, with prominent cheekbones, and bright, cheery eyes. His hair was black, and was quite tanned from working under the sun. His eyes lingered on Nadia a little more than they did on Atanas. Pradeep (that was his name) was both surprised and glad that the pair had stumbled along. Although he went to the village almost every evening, and he got to town at least once a week, he still loved seeing people, as most 20-year-olds. Usually, most of the people he had contact with were his friends from the village, and a couple of the local girls. So, seeing a tall, blonde, full-chested western woman was completely out of the ordinary. But, she was with someone, and Pradeep was not the sort to make a pass at someone else's woman. When he saw that they did not understand him, he tried remembering the few English lessons he had received as a kid, and what he had picked up from wasting time on the internet, and asked them how they were and what they were doing there. Although his accent was heavy, his English was quite good. Something useful had actually come out of all those hours spent on Reddit, TikTok and YouTube!
Nadia noticed the young man's stare, and a small smile crept into her lips.
"I wouldn't mind having a taste of this..." she thought for a moment. Atanas told Pradeep that they were going towards the monastery and they had lost their way and if they could take advantage of his hospitality and rest for a moment, and perhaps get a cup of water or two. The young shepherd smiled widely and invited them in.
"You will rest here my friends, I will bring out water, and something to bite and raksi to drink!"
The couple thanked him profusely, and followed him inside. They let their backpacks down, and sat on a couple of chairs near a table, opposite a wood stove. The hut was small but well-appointed, with the aforementioned table, chairs and stove, some cupboards with utensils, a sofa in front of a TV and a bed. Pradeep put out a few plates with cheese, salted meat, tomatoes and sausages. Then he produced three glasses and a bottle of a clear, vodka-looking drink. It tasted a bit like sake, but not quite and it was strong!
They spent some time talking, they told him about their travels and how life back in distant Bulgaria was, and he told them of his life in the mountains and in the village. He and Atanas had a short geek-out when they found out they both had played League of Legends for some time, and they talked about spending time with the guys in local internet cafes, usually until their mothers called them back home after long hours. During this time, Pradeep kept refilling their glasses, and they kept downing them. The drink was strong stuff, and combined with the reduced oxygen in the air, they soon found themselves a bit tipsier than expected.
Slowly but steadily, Nadia turned the conversation to "spicier" subjects. Things like, whether the local girls were hot, and if they put out, what kind of porn people in Nepal prefer, how open-minded in regards to sex people were up in the mountains and other such questions. Pradeep was open, although he was a bit shy. Nadia laughed frequently, 'accidentally' touched his arm, and tased him gently. When Pradeep went to dig up another bottle, Atanas whispered to her:
"Is there something on your mind? Because you seem to have a particular focus in the conversation..."
Nadia blushed slightly and answered "I am not sure? Maybe? I don't know. I like the way he seems fascinated by me, and he doesn't look half bad, you know?"
"OK, I'm going to follow your lead and see where things go."
The drinks and the wood stove had made the atmosphere in the hut almost cozy. They had taken off their heavier clothes and they were all a bit flushed and jolly. When Pradeep returned, Nadia suggested they play a drinking game, suggesting "Truth or Dare". Initially, the truths were more 'innocent' and the dares more related to alcohol, but as the bottle got emptier, things got more sexual.

Pradeep was over the moon. What promised to be a relatively boring day had gotten incredibly better. The two tourists were very fun people, friendly, entertaining, and if he was being honest, the woman was very pretty and quite effusive. Pradeep had had limited experience with women, and even what he had, was with girls from the village. His two previous girlfriends were a lot more reserved and frankly, boring. He had broken up with his previous girlfriend, who also was his first, about a year ago, when she had left the village to look for work in the nearest town. Pradeep was young, horny, and with access to the internet, something that had inflamed his imagination, and as he looked at Nadia, her cleavage bouncing as she laughed, he imagined a lot.

Nadia was also getting hot and bothered. The young man was laser-focused on her whenever he thought she wasn't looking, and it was impossible to hide his desire. The strong drink had lowered her inhibitions and she felt ready for anything. The next time Atanas asked her to choose truth or dare, she winked at him, letting him know to move things further, and said "Dare".
Atanas dared her to remove her shirt. Without even blinking, she took off her top, remaining in her sports bra. Although it was more functional than sexy, Pradeep's eyes almost jumped out of his head. Propriety forgotten, he was openly staring at her chest.
"Wait till you see it without the bra..." she thought, and a naughty smile spread on her face.
After that, things swiftly progressed, getting hornier and less reserved. The questions became clearly sexual, and the dares more accommodating.
"With how many women have you slept?"
"Just two."
"Do you like having your breasts touch?"
"Yes."
"Take off your shirt."
"Have a shot."
"Take off your pants."
At some point, they stopped pretending that they were playing a game, and just started talking about sexual subjects.
Nadia asked Pradeep "Do you watch porn?"
He shrugged his shoulders and answered "Yes."
His horniness had reduced his shyness, and the open way the two foreigners talked about sex bolstered his confidence.
"Have you sucked a man's dick?" he asked her back.
