Volcanic Activity

Kat wiped the sweat from her brow without stopping. She refused to show her exhaustion. It felt like they'd been hiking vertically for the last 6 hours. A quick glance at her watch left her deflated; only an hour and a half in with 3 more to go. How was she possibly going to survive.

Kat and Jay landed in Guatemala a couple days ago, only intending to visit Antigua, Lake Atitlan, and finish relaxing on the coast. At the last hostel, some fellow travellers told them about this volcano hike and Jay immediately rebooked the whole holiday around it. Unfortunately, that meant they didn't have any of their hiking gear and were terribly underprepared for the trek.

Her borrowed kit was oversized, heavy and dirty. Looking at the rest of the group, it seemed no one packed for a difficult trek. She laughed how they looked like they were all headed for an 80's party. She looked around for Jay to share her observation, but he was way up at the front of the pack. That fucking guy always had limitless energy; he was already carrying all her food and water and was striding along chatting with one of the guides. Kat was at the back with the other stragglers, with no chit chat. It was a little demoralizing, she was in pretty good shape, but Acatenango was killing her.

It took Kat a moment to understand they finally made it to the camp. She'd been zoned out and soldiering on without a thought. Dropping her bag and crashing to the soft soil she closed her eyes and listened to the birds, some running water nearby, and the rustle of wind in the leaves. The sun had started to go down, and the cool high-altitude air on her damp skin was giving her a chill.

Finally, opening her eyes she saw that they were perched on ledge jutting out of a steep mountain side. The ledge had an uninterrupted view of Fuego, with glowing lava flowing down the side. Suddenly it erupted throwing luminous jets through the air. She jumped, unsure if there was any danger.

"It erupts every 15min!" Jay laughed dropping down beside her and handing her a bottle of water. Of course, he would have wrung every bit of info out of the guide by now. "We're ok here, they haven't had a major eruption in 7 years" he added. "That's not very reassuring" Kat mumbled after downing the water in one go. "We're actually on a volcano now too" Jay continued beaming with excitement of his newfound knowledge. "Legend has it Acatenango and Fuego are lovers. Acatenango is the strong protector that hasn't erupted in centuries but Fuego is a fiery spirit, unable to contain her passions."

"Sounds a little cliché to me" quipped Kat.

With the hike behind her and a simple dinner in her belly, Kat looked around and felt truly awed with her surroundings. Darkness came fast in Central America and the volcano was now truly a spectacle. Fuego's brilliant eruptions were followed by pressure wave felt in the chest then a deep rumbling from the earth. Kat felt drawn to the raw natural power on display. The night was cold however and she slept tight against Jay to stay warm.

The hike out the next morning was shorter but no easier, now straining her legs to keep from falling down the trail. The packs were lighter and she didn't feel so behind now. Also, she was looking forward to their next stop.

Lake Atitlán was what drew the hip crowd to Guatemala. A small lake with a few little towns, each with their own thing going. Lots of off-the-beaten-path travellers, digital nomads, and other types who eschewed modern life. Jay had also promised they'd go for a massage if she came on the hike.

Kat had to appreciate Jay's planning; this hostel was so creatively decorated and chic. Through the gates they were greeted by a lush green garden that felt like the hostel was part of the forest. Local artists had installations throughout, contrasting perfectly with the natural atmosphere. Their private room opened directly into the garden, and the showers were soul-revivingly hot. The open-air restaurant was shaded by trees and canvas canopies with colourful plush cushions surrounding the low-tables. There was a bridge at the other end leading across a ravine to the bar.

Lunch was a selection of healthy home-made options. Clean, well fed, and rejuvenated from the couples massage, Kat felt reborn.

That night they found a cute venue having an open mic night. For a little town it was surprisingly lively. They sat at a long table surrounded by hanging lanterns enmeshed with the vines overhead. The music was eclectic and varied. The evening swung wildly between romantic conversation amongst themselves, to exchanging travel fuck ups, to casual flirting with the cute guys and girls sitting at their shared table. Kat was drinking it all in, hardly recognizing her growing arousal.

The next day was another relaxing day of strolling the town, hot springs, and restorative meals. Jay had learned from someone that the little town had one event per evening. They were lucky to have found the open mic, and tonight was the pub crawl.

"This trip's been so refreshing, I really needed it. You know how work's been." Kat commented as she came out of the shower, wrapped in a short soft towel. "Hey, don't say that word!" Jay mocked shock. He knew she'd been overworked and was glad he could put the trip together for Kat.

"You're right" she agreed, changing the subject. "That story those guys were telling about Honduras was wild, eh?" She started brushing her hair thoughtfully. "Getting robbed but then the thieves took them to the taxi stall and gave them a bit of cash to make it to the border!"

"Haha yeah, I could tell you were enthralled with the story. You couldn't take your eyes of them" Jay teased.

"Well, those guys were so charismatic. I guess that's how they got out of the situation" she defended.

"And easy on the eyes" he winked at her through the mirror.

Blushing a little before turning to face Jay, "While I think you were having the same effect on those cute German backpackers earlier."

"Guilty as charged" Jay caved, throwing his hands up.

"No, no guilt" she said slowly walking towards him. "You're right. They turned me on. I wanted both of them." Dropping her towel she added "And I wanted those girls to experience you".

Still a few feet away from him, Jay looked over Kat's luxurious body. Water droplets still beading on her ample breast, then running down her flat stomach. Her bronzed skin divulged the outline of her bikini. Like a prey animal, Jay got only a brief glimpse of the fire behind her brown eyes before she pounced.

---

"Hopefully they'll let us join" Kat said apologetically. "No worries, I'm sure it's not an issue" Jay replied, while they crossed over the bridge to the hostel's bar. They were too late to catch the first pub on the tour, so hadn't signed up. Fortunately, the 2nd stop was their hostel's bar, which they now hurried too a little disheveled.

Coming across the bridge they could hear the party before seeing it. Some pop music thumping and cheers of what one could assume was tequila shots. Rounding the corner the bar opened up to a stunning view of the mountain ringed lake, obstructed only by a few dozen partiers. Jay quickly made for the bar, while Kat headed over to look out at the lake.

Heartily welcomed by the already tipsy organizer and with half a dozen watered down shots, Jay weaved his way towards Kat. She'd already been absorbed into a small crew so Jay offered to share the welcome drinks.

"That's very generous sir, but you have some catching up to do!" A heavy New Zealand accident jokingly replied.

Kat smashed her first shot glass into Jay's and knocked it back. The next two were downed in short order to raucous cheers from the new friends. The tall New Zealander ordered another round to more whooping.

At first glance they seemed an odd bunch. Standing out under the stars they were strangers, ranging from 18 -- 40 and coming from all over. The tall charming New Zealander on sabbatical, and what could have been his brother, an ex-finance nomad from London. There were a couple 19-year-old French guys taking a gap year, an 18-year-old Dutch girl spending the summer crossing central America, and two Italian women here for the hiking.

The entertainment for the night seemed to be the Londoner John and his buddy Will. They'd just met a week ago, but you'd have thought they were childhood friends the way they played off each other.

Jay looked out over the whole pub crawl and recognized a few faces from last night. He noticed how some people were in swimwear and sandals, but others had dressed up in cocktail dresses and heels. This was exactly what Jay traveled for, the lighthearted socializing and meeting new people.

The organizer rang a giant bell at the bar ending his wandering thoughts.

"Onward we go, and don't be late or I'll have drank the bar dry!" He announced jumping off the bar top. A moment later all the glasses hit the table in unison and the troop marched out after the leader.

Kat was slightly ahead of him with Will and John on either side, seemingly competing to get the best laugh out of Kat. She looked small next to them; wearing her flats, cutoff denim short-shorts, and low-cut tank top. Jay watched too as the young French guys threw their best game at the hikers, who were a few years older and seemed to be getting a kick out of it.

Marije appeared beside Jay, bubbly and telling him about her Central American trip. He was amazed at the courage it took for such a young and attractive woman to make that trip solo. And she was attractive. She had an athletic build, with long legs topped with a firm ass. Her lace shorts just barely reaching her thighs, teasing Jay when they walked up a narrow hill. The crop top hung from her perky tits and revealed a perfectly toned stomach. Jay noticed her green eyes, framed by a brunette bob cut, flicking between the rough pathway and him. As attractive as she was, he resisted flirting with her; he and Kat were in their early 30's and he figured she'd be interested in the younger crowd. However, her glances and sweet demeanor were wearing down his resistance.

Too soon they arrived at the next venue, where a busty server was pouring shots straight into their mouths on the way through the door. Past the doorway they walked along a narrow hallway with a few alcoves with built in seating and little tables. Some had curtains partly drawn with a few people sitting. At the last one Jay caught a brief glimpse of a woman straddling a guy while kissing drunkenly.

The bar was more like a living room, which immediately became crowded with their pub crawl. The EDM was blasting through a quality sound system and the DJ had everyone dancing the moment they walked in. Marije immediately wrapped her arms over Jays shoulders. Reflexively he held her lower back while she swayed.

Not far away John and Will still clung to Kat, though much closer now. Jay could see the goal of their competition had changed. These two hadn't realized Kat was with Jay apparently and were now each obviously attempting to monopolize her. She seemed to enjoy being wedged between them and was busy rocking her hips between the two.

An idea flashed across her mind and she acted on it almost as fast. She checked that Jay was watching, then with her hand on his neck pulled Will down to a sloppy kiss. John, assuming he'd lost, took a step back. Kat however reached her other hand to his neck and pulled him back. Releasing Will, she turned her head stretching out her neck to give John a turn.

She didn't know what had come over her, but she'd been so horny recently and hadn't had much chance for release. Now it felt like her urges had taken over, and she was along for the ride. She could feel both their thick cocks pressed against her, one between her cheeks and the other bumping against her clit. She rocked her hips between, using their bodies for her pleasure. With the crowded venue for cover, or just not caring anymore, she reached her hand down Will's shorts and stroked his cock. Looking again to her husband she saw Marije; so sexy the way she moved on Jay that she had to watch. With his hand on the small of her back and his thigh between hers it was more sensual than her own actions. She saw Jay peel his eyes from Marije checking in on her threesome. His eyes on the men kissing either side of her neck, while she continued to play with the cocks.

They locked eyes, checking in with each other. Jay could see the fire in her eyes, as if she were in heat. He could see something within her unleashed and wanted her to run wild with it. Seeing the guys so sexual with his wife pumped adrenaline through him, he could feel his heart race and his hands shake. But she looked so fucking hot in control of these two big guys. Especially when she stretched her neck back to kiss John. He tempered the natural aggression that arose, with the trust and love for her. He wanted her to explore her desires and, in the moment, she was intensely desirous. With a nod and gesture, he suggested she move to one of the alcoves in the hallway. Her eyes flashed wide open, internalizing the suggestion.

Then she turned, leading her studs away.

"Are you two together?" Marije peeled her body off Jay slightly. "Or friends?" She had witnessed the interaction and looked confused and embarrassed.

"Married" Jay replied gently, looking into her green eyes. "Do you love her?"

"Deeply" again watching her expression as she was putting her thoughts together. Shock was slowly changing to understanding, then to intrigue. "She's going to the room with those two guys? Is she going to fuck them?"

"She looked desperate to fuck them didn't she?" Jay replied smiling at Marije. She smiled back, stepping closer again. "Is this what you to do? Is that why none of us realized you were together?"

"We didn't start the night with any plan. It's new to us. She's never fucked someone without me. She's never been with two men before either. But we seem to always be finding new things to explore." Marije was swaying against him again, but slower now. "I guess you are ok with it?" she asked.

Jay put her hand on his chest, which his heart was trying to break out of. "It turns you on?" she asked next. Jay paused before answering. "The feeling is so intense. If I didn't control it, I'd be insane with jealousy, but it's incredibly sexy to explore with her."

Turning around to press her back into his chest, she whispered into his ear, "it turns me on".

---

Her two studs were champing at the bit. Will at least at the sense to roughly pull the curtain haphazardly behind him, still leaving a substantial gap. Kat wasted no time in the Alcove. She slammed herself onto the bench and pushed John down between her thighs. While he fumbled to get her shorts open she whipped Wills cock out of his shorts. She'd suspected but now was faced with a giant cock and had to prepare herself for it. She lifted her hips as John pulled her shorts and panties to the floor. He dove in hungrily lapping away at her smooth cunt. Turning back to Will's impatient cock she also dove in, taking as much as she could manage in her mouth. Soaking it in her spit she enlisted one hand to stroke while the other held John's head to his task. She slid her lips along his shaft, stretching her jaw to her limit. She watched the pleasure spread across Will's lips while he groaned. John move his focus to her throbbing clit, sending a shiver through her body. He deftly sucked and teased her clit in a way she'd never felt before. Her orgasm had not been far all night, but John brought it slamming into her unexpectantly. Her hips bucked against his hands, and she moaned uncontrollably with Will still packing her mouth. She roughly pushed John's head away but he kept lapping at her juices.

John then looked up at her grinning from ear to ear, her wetness shining from his lips. Her orgasm had been strong but did nothing to calm her desires. "Up" she commanded him. "Down" she motioned Will to sit on the bench. The gentlemen complied with her orders. She positioned herself on Wills lap who quickly fumbled to get his condom on. She was slick but, noticing her sore jaw, she approached slowly.

First pressing against her opening and pausing. Will knowing the challenge he presented, held her hips for support. She felt her body receiving and stretching, filling her cavity until her ass met his lap. John was awaiting his next order. She tasted herself on his lips, then commanded he drop his shorts.

His heavy cock was also formidable but at least easier to handle. She took him slower, first wetting the length of his shaft, then licking around his head, tasting his pre-cum. Will started to rock his hips, moving the enormous shaft inside her. She stroked John while she gauged Wills slow motion assault on her pussy. She felt it forcing onto her G-spot then relenting with every move. She returned her attention to John, who'd given her such incredible head. She took him in deep, sucking on the return. She continued the motion slowly increasing the pace to match the measured fucking her pussy was getting.

Her ego briefly surfaced and acknowledged the insanity of the moment. She was only half hidden behind the curtain and noticed people walking by; pausing before moving on. She was fucking 2 men; strangers only hours ago. She wasn't drunk, only enslaved to her id. She was not distraught by this overwhelming sexual urge. In fact, she was thoroughly enjoying it, but wondered what caused it. She looked up at John, who was genuinely attractive and seemed kind, and determined to give him an excellent blowjob. Will's cock continued its unhurried march toward her next orgasm. She thought of Jay, encouraging her to this point but not here to enjoy it. Jay, who was just beyond the curtain being seduced by the nymph. Her thoughts then suddenly vanished beneath the rising id.

Her pussy grew exasperated with the deliberate movements of Will. She lifted herself from his lap and slammed herself back down. Again and again, she skewered herself with Will and John. Bobbing her head incessantly and with no rhythm. She heard both men moaning over the loud beats from beyond the curtain. Like a woman possessed she sucked and fucked, her own cries now louder than both men. With a final lunge her orgasm burst out of her, Johns cock forcibly ejected from her mouth while she fell back into Wills chest. He too heaved under her, his cock twitching while it unloaded inside her. She kissed his jawline, rocking her hips gently on his.

That was too much for him though. Overly sensitive, he reactively lifted her off which left her pussy immediately feeling empty. Turning to John, she folded herself over the table. He didn't wait for instructions this time. Will flicked another condom towards John, and he took his position behind her. His gentle demeanor was overcome, and he vigorously thrust into Kat. She gripped the edge of the table and braced for the jack hammering he was delivering. Will reached over, spreading her wetness around while tenderly sweeping her clit. Together the sensation dragged forth another orgasm, loud and shameless. John too burst inside her rocking the table before collapsing back onto the bench.

Straightening out her shirt and wiping the sweat from her brow, she assessed the situation. Will and John sat beside each other on the bench with their spent cocks slumping against their thighs. Her pussy felt swollen from the pounding, but something inside her was still demanding more. She found her shorts crumpled on the ground and slipped them back on.

"Thank you both, that was wonderful" Kat smiled at them, bending over to give each a kiss. "Fuck that was incredible" Will managed in reply. "I don't think I can move, where are you headed so quickly" John added. "You two look spent so I need to go find my husband" Kat smirked, relishing their confused looks before turning back to the party.

The little room was still thumping when Kat returned. Scanning the room she saw partiers twerking, grinding; people were really letting loose.

She found Jay and Marije still together. She stopped to watch them passionately kissing. Her heart thumped in her chest seeing Jay's hands on Marije's firm ass. She remembered being infatuated with Jay when she met him and imagined Marije feeling the same. His exuberant easy-going nature had drawn her in, but once there she felt so safe around him. Her eyes lingered over Marije, reading her body language. The girl too looked comfortable with him, and was obviously suggesting they leave together. Kat wanted her to fuck Jay, imagining her lithe body against his.

What was going on? In just a few hours, she'd already cum 4 times, been fucked by 3 guys tonight, and still aching for more sex. She wanted to let Jay know he could take her but didn't know how to get his attention without cock blocking him.

Jay's eyes darted towards the small hallway his wife had disappeared into. She hadn't been away that long, especially considering her intents. His tongue was still dancing away with Marije while he scanned. This cutie had been chasing him all night, and it was liberating to give in to her. He felt like a kid with a new girlfriend, just excited to be touching her. His hand was cupping her ass with his fingers tantalizingly close to her cunt. They were still teasing each other on the floor; under other conditions they would have left the club long ago. Just as he was bringing his attention back to Marije, he saw Kat; sweaty and her hair a mess. He must have missed her coming back because she was closer to the bar and intently watching him. There wasn't any jealousy in her eyes, but... was it envy? Jay must have given a start, because Marije unlocked her lips and looked up at him.

"Is she back?" Marije smiled at him watching his reaction and placing her hand back on his chest. He saw Kat nod, indicating that he leave with Marije. Meeting Marije's green eyes with his deep blues, he replied "Yes, she says you should take me to your place."

"Oh?" frowned Marije sounding disappointed. "I thought you'd both be bringing me back" playfully pouting her lips. Jay laughed; she was too cute. He waved Kat to come over then lightly spanked Marije's ass. When she reached them, he placed his other hand on the small of Kat's back and planted a zealous kiss on Kat's lips. "Did you have fun?" he asked beaming at her. "Fuck... that was insane" she breathed; her eyes locked on his. She still looked wildly horny, so he figured they'd debrief later. Changing the subject he nodded towards Marije. "Marije's been curious about our arrangement."

Kat looked more closely at Marije. She was truly beautiful with her bright green eyes and high cheek bones. While her eyes drifted down to her cleavage appreciating her sexuality, Kat felt her ego beginning to falter again and the fire inside her burn. "She wondered if we'd like to take her..."

"I want that so bad" Kat smiled back at Marije then enthusiastically placing her lips where Jay's had been moments ago. The lips were unbelievably soft; unlike any she'd experienced tonight. Her sweet aroma rejuvenated Kat's senses and emphasized her femininity. Kat's fingers brushed against Jays' when she grasped Marije's plump cheek. Reluctantly she pulled her lips away, then took each of their hands in her own. "Let's go" she commanded, not urgent but... raw. She led them both through the crowd. On reaching the hallway a raucous cheer went out that was surely meant for Kat.

The way to the bar had been disappointingly quick, but returning the same distance felt agonizingly long. Kat picked her way down the narrow road almost at a run and Marije gracefully kept pace. Jay was again treated to following the two women in short shorts, but the treat was more torturous now. Kats' jean shorts strained against her flexing glutes and Marije's lace shorts revealed hers.

Kat crashed through the door to their private room and spun towards them in one motion. Marije rounded the corner and landed in Kat's embrace. Jay entered to find Kat hurriedly pulling Marije's crop top over her head. In the seconds it took him to close the door, both women's shirts and bras had already hit the floor. Marije's back was toned and flawless, except for the red lines being left by Kat's nails. Sitting at the end of the bed, he watched Marije return Kat's wild passion. Her tongue met Kat's fervor while her hands scrambled to touch every inch of skin. Her small firm tits were pressed against Kat's larger breasts.

Kat dragged Marije's shorts down revealing white lace tanga cut panties. Starting at the panty hem she licked her way up between her tits and to her delicate clavicle. Marije dropped to her knees tearing at the denim shorts, then winked at Kat as she pulled the panties and shorts down together. Kat watched her tender lips caress her inner thighs timidly approaching her pussy. The contrast to Johns strong confident approach accentuated tonight's exploits. Her eyes met Marije's when the young woman's tongue first parted her lips. Kat threw her head back in pleasure, running her fingers through Marije's hair. Her moan encouraged the novice tongue to keep exploring. She lapped the length of Kat's slit, pressed her tongue in and out of Kat's cunt, and flicked across her clit looking for the right technique. However, Kat's overwhelming lust meant everything was right. She gripped Marije's hair, holding her tongue against her wet pulsing pussy while another Orgasm rocked through her.

Kat acquiesced to her weak knees and dropped to the floor, face to face with Marije's prideful grin. First tasting herself on Marije's kiss, she then brought her lips to Marije's ear. "I know what you want." she breathed. "I want it too. Go suck his cock." Marije glanced briefly into Kat's eyes for affirmation, then began to crawl across the handicraft rug towards Jay. He'd been in a trance watching the two, roused only when Marije had pulled his cock from his shorts. He watched as she made the same caresses of his thighs, slowly approaching his shaft. He'd already had a long night of arousal, watching Kat leave with her studs, the extended grinding with Marije, and watching the two together. His cock ached for her touch, but he resisted the urge to slam it into her throat. Agonizingly slowly she brought her tongue from the base of his shaft to the top, then circling the peak. She seamed to be taking measure before wrapping her lips around and bringing them back to the base. The whole length disappeared down her throat, a feat Kat had never managed, then reappeared from the same prideful grin.

"Do you like it?" she asked modestly with her lips a hairsbreadth from the head.

"I did" chimed Kat before he had a chance to respond. She crawled across the same rug, stopping with her knees beside Marije's. "I want to watch you deepthroat him".

Marije indulged in Kats desire, taking Jay's full length and releasing. Her lips gripped his cock reaching from the base to the head. Whenever she paused to catch her breath, Kat took over with her own methods, stroking and sucking with skill. The two women shared Jay generously between them.

Kat then slid her hands into Marije's panties. She delighted in running her fingers along her smooth lips and over her delicate nub. "You're so wet! We're going to make you cum". Kat guided Marije onto the bed on all fours then pealed her panties down, presenting her lovely cunt. They dove in together; Kat and Jay's tongues harmoniously navigating her folds. She muffled her moans with the pillow while Kat and Jay indulged in her nectar. Marije was easily brought to orgasm; her fit body repeatedly contracting until collapsing onto the bed.

Kat and Jay adored her heaving body, while she gulped down air. When she caught her breath, she turned to face Kat. "Watch him fuck me!" came Marije's first demand of the night. Kat smiled and lay down beside her while Jay picked her up from her hips, bringing her back into position. Kat intently admired Marije's expression as Jay slowly pressed his cock into Marije's tight pussy. She watched Marije's eyes close and her lips part as Jay found his pace. Marije breathed harder and she started to moan, no longer muffling herself. Her eyes opened to lock in to Kat's own. "Yes, fuck yes, oh, oh" her orgasm squealed from her; her eyes never breaking focus on Kat.

She then pulled Kat in for a tender kiss.

Witnessing Jay fuck this incredibly sexy young woman right in front of her had Kat's fire burning again. She knew instinctively she had one last summit to climb. Jay had scarcely pulled his gleaming cock from Marije's cunt before Kat pushed him to the bed. With ferocity she mounted him, driving his cock into her. Her hands went into her hair, racking her fingers through her locks while she slammed her hips against his.

Kat watched Marije curl herself onto Jay and plant her lips on his in a passionate display. She felt the flame inside begin to consume her consciousness. The night's mania flashed before her; pouncing on Jay in this room only hours before, taking two men new men to skewer her, her cunt stretching to accommodate Will then being pounded by John, looking down at Marije while she lapped at her, sharing Marije's delicious pussy with Jay, then watching Marije get fucked by her husband. She opened her eyes to see them both looking up at her in astonishment. Her moans had become a roar. She sensed a low rumbling from the earth, felt it travel through Jay and into her, then up her torso. Finally it erupted from her body overwhelming all her senses. Her release caused Jay to explode inside her, filling her with his load. She collapsed onto him as if a spirit had left her.

They lay piled together for a while, speechless.

Marije adorably looked up at Kat and broke the silence, "That was so hot, thank you for taking me."

"You were perfect. Hey, how'd you learn to deep throat like that?"

"I practiced on a boyfriend, but he never made me cum like you two did"

Kat laughed, "No, it took many attempts to find someone like Jay too".

Ignoring the compliment Jay turned to Kat. "Sooooo, what possessed you? And how do we re-awaken it?" Jay joked.

"I have no idea. I was feeling so uninhibited. I did whatever came to my mind. I was powerful" she replied, more to herself than Jay. The conversation faded away and feeling cozy and tranquil, they dozed off hardly noticing the slight rumble coming from the ground again.
