You were warned not to go into the enchanted forest, but there was something that was calling to you, and you ran in anyway. You shouldn't be talking to strangers, shouldn't be eating unknown fruits. You shouldn't have done a lot of things.

Slightly moaning, you wake up in a haze. Your eyes try to adjust to the lighting, but even after a few blinks, and rubbing of the eyes, nothing seems to come into focus. Sitting up seems to make the room spin, so you flop down on your back, gazing at the odd cottage.
With a few calming breaths the room starts to come into view. Still unfamiliar, and yet oddly calming. "I was wondering when you were going to wake up," a warm gruff voice speaks.
You look towards him, and he gives you a big smile. "Now what is a villager like yourself doing out in the enchanted forest. Hasn't your parents warned you?"
"Should I be scared of you?" your voice asks shakily.
He tilts his head shrugging. "How is the bed?"
"It's a bit too soft," you sit up and grab at your head. Drowsy and unaware of anything. Looking up at the mystery man, you finally focus on him.
Long legs, his veiny arms exposed, and with every movement his muscles ripple. Unbeknownst to you, he sees the quickened pulse at your neck as you look him over. He can practically smell how heated and worked up you're becoming.
"That's my brother's bed. He was...the only one willing to give it up. Had he known how long you would be out," he stops his speech as he walks closer to you. Sitting on the edge of the bed.
You can feel the weight of his body when it dips down. "What's the last thing you remember?"
"I had a snack," his eyes roll up to meet yours, and he gives you a soft smile. "Who are you? And can I go home?"
"Ari," he extends a hand out to you, and you shake it. That large mitt of a hand could squish you, if he so choose. "Going home is a bit more difficult. What did you eat?"
"An apple."
"The color?"
"Red," you try and think. Wondering just how long you had been out for. "No, green. What does it matter?"
"The green can be used to create a deadly poison. One of which only can be cured by true loves kiss," you roll your eyes at the absurdity. "It's true. The red...it's best not to talk about it. It's just nonsense right?"
"You said...why is it difficult for me to go home?"
"Did you bring the food with you?" you shake your head no. "Welcome home, Goldie. There's something about these woods and women. It's forbidden, and you can't stay away we've never been able to find one of our own."
