  “You are an amazing man, Captain Seth Derby.” She grinned as she climbed off me and scampered to the kitchen to search for food. The pantry was well stocked with non perishables and in no time she whipped up a breakfast of freeze dried granola, canned fruit and to my utter delight, coffee, made with a French press she found in a cupboard.

  “It’s not pancakes, but it will do,” she said as she set our breakfast on the bar in clean white dishes. We ate naked and I was certain we would be spending a lot of time that way, but we had a lot of work to do today. We needed to replenish the woodpile, do some fishing and exploring. I wanted to access our supplies and determine what we could gather from the land in addition to the fish I knew we could catch in the ocean.

  “We’ll need to do some exploring and accessing today,” she said, her thoughts mirroring my own.

  “After breakfast why don’t you find some clothes, otherwise we won’t be getting anything accomplished today,” I said dryly.

  “Back atcha Seth.” She winked, raking her eyes across my naked chest. I had to admit, I was enjoying playful Denna. This was a side of her I hadn’t really seen when Jack was around.

  “Alright, we’ll both go find some clothes and then I’ll go see about chopping some more wood if you want to check out the pantry and whatever else you can find for supplies. We need to take stock of what we have and figure out how long it will last.”

  “I like how much we think alike,” she said softly as she refilled our coffee cups and I could see her mind was already working on her morning task.

  I dressed quickly in a pair of jeans and a clean tshirt I found in the closet. Denna pulled on a pair of men’s boxers fresh out of the package and pulled a clean tshirt over her head, her dusky nipples apparent through the thin white material that fit so snugly across her ample breasts. I looked forward to undressing her at some point this afternoon, but for now, I dropped a promising kiss on her lips and headed out to replenish our wood supply.

  I explored the woodpile by the front door and discovered an airtight toolbox containing a plethora of tools that would come in handy during our stay. I grabbed the axe and headed out toward the woods where I saw a clearing around an aging old tree stump. There was plenty of dry wood waiting to be split, but I would need to add to it very soon. This was our heat source and I didn’t want to take any risks. I would cut down a few trees tomorrow and start working on cutting them to more manageable pieces right away. Splitting wood was hard work and within an hour, I was sweating and had taken my shirt off. As I swung the axe, I saw Denna heading down the trail from the house. She was pulling an empty cart behind her and I was grateful I wouldn’t have to carry all the wood back up to the house by hand.

  “This place is very well stocked,” she said as she joined me, producing a canteen of cold water to quench my thirst.

  “Thank you baby,” I said softly and enjoyed the blush that stole across her face. “What have you found other than the cart?” I asked.

  “There is a shed out back with a chainsaw, several barrels of gasoline and some fishing and camping gear. I found several lanterns and a ton of batteries too, but very few weapons, just a few hunting knives. I would feel better if we had a couple of guns, but we’ll manage without.”

  “Any chance there’s a big ass boat in there with a radio?” I joked.

  “Nope, just a canoe, but the chainsaw will speed this up.” She gestured at the woodpile and I agreed. I was very happy to hear about the chainsaw as well as the fishing equipment.

  “I also found a cold cellar with a bunch of potatoes and various root vegetables and even a barrel of apples that are still good. But the best part is the smoke house full of freshly smoked meat. The owners have been here recently, possibly to stock up for the coming winter. We’ll be fine here for months, we could possibly make it for a year or more if we’re careful, but I don’t think we’ll have to wait that long. I’m sure the owners will return for the fishing season in a few months. We might owe them a rather hefty check by the time they get here, but I don’t think they’ll mind. My vote is we stay here and wait for someone to show up. If a plane passes over, we’ll shoot off that flare gun and hope for the best. The only real danger we face is dead winter. We’ll have to make preparations for that, just in case, but I think we can manage if we had to, even without guns.”

  “If I had to get shipwrecked on a deserted island, I sure won the lottery on location and company.” I grinned as I draped my arm around her shoulder.

  “Ditto baby.” She grinned, reaching to fist bump me.

  We spent the afternoon hauling wood up to the house where we stored it in the shed to dry. We found an additional woodpile behind the shed and I felt confident we would keep warm whenever the temperatures dropped. We decided to cut into one of the smaller hams we found in the smoke house, but we also decided we would stick to fish and whatever we could hunt. We didn’t want to touch anything else from the smoke house unless we had to. We talked incessantly about our combined skills and I discovered Denna was quite good at trapping game. I went with her into the woods while she set rabbit traps and snares and we discovered some berry bushes and various plants we identified as either medicinal or tasty between our combined knowledge.

  It felt so natural being with Denna like this; it was like we'd known each other our whole lives. We’d shared our painful pasts and we were moving on from those subjects to more pleasant ones. I was nice just taking the time to getting to know each other better. The Denna and Seth who met a mere week ago were not the Denna and Seth who made love under a grove of white birch trees. We had both been hiding behind the masks we wore for the rest of the world, but here on our island there were no masks. We had so much more in common than either of us realized, and I was sure there was a lot more about Denna I had yet to uncover.

  The feelings I had for this woman were intense, and the depth of my emotion surprised me. It was so easy to spend time with her; I enjoyed her company, which was a whole new feeling for me after spending so much of my life alone. I knew she felt the same way, she often spoke of her preference for solitude, but neither of us seemed to need that here. There were no games between us. We didn’t need to worry about what the other was thinking, there were no silly questions of, ‘should I call her? Should I text him? Should I pretend to be an ass because that’s what guys do?’ We were just two people who didn’t bullshit each other…we were two people earnestly falling in love and that was okay with both of us.

  As the days passed in a blur and we spent every waking moment together, I found her more interesting. She was a completely different person than the woman she had portrayed that first day on my boat.

  “You seemed so cold and distant that first day?” I asked her one afternoon as we hiked deep into the woods to fish at the freshwater lake we’d discovered our first week there.

  “I was afraid.” She shrugged. “And when I’m afraid, bitchy Denna comes out.” She explained. “I knew going into the trip that I would probably be the only woman and I wasn’t uncomfortable with that. I learned a long time ago how to take care of myself when I found myself the only woman in a group of men. I did not expect to be the only woman with two very intimidating young men. I guess I expected you to be the old grandfatherly type of captain and when I stepped onto the Amber Rose and I saw Jack, my back was already up. When I saw you, and realized I’d be alone at sea with two men who could easily gang up on me, I thought about canceling, but I was sick of living in fear. I was determined to show you both that I couldn’t be intimidated or scared off, but I knew you were different even before we left the harbor. I knew I could trust you, but I was still wary.”

  “I’m so sorry you’ve known such shitty men,” I said softly, “but I’m so glad you didn’t cancel the trip. Even if it meant going through that whole nightmare again, I’d do it just to have you in my life. I’d gladly stay here with you forever if it didn’t mean leaving my son and my mother to think I’d died at sea. I want them to know you too
Denna. I want them to be the family you never had,” I said very carefully. I didn’t want to scare her with too much talk of the future.

  Despite our temporary domestic bliss, we were still shipwrecked and at some point, we would have to make a solid plan. We still had the whole Jack situation hanging over us and of course the fact that my mother, Kelly and Will would be climbing the walls with worry at our disappearance. With all of these things taken into consideration it seemed selfish for Denna and I to be in such a blissful state but we couldn't help ourselves, we had turned into a pair of lovesick teenagers. I think we'd both have been quite satisfied to stay in our blissful bubble forever, but we had other people to consider. We still hadn’t sighted any planes or ships and the winter months were rapidly approaching. I figured we could expect our benefactors to show by late October, but if they didn’t we needed to be prepared for a harsh winter of being snowed in.

  As a couple, we worked incredibly well together. Our conversation was aplenty and our humor was very similar. As for the bedroom, I'd never been involved with anyone so vivacious. We couldn't leave each other alone and for every wanton episode where we devoured each other in our furious lovemaking, there was a soft and gentle night to balance us. We seemed to be compatible in every way and in all the weeks since we’d been stranded on our island, we hadn’t said one cross word to each other. This was something that I never thought I'd find, especially at my age. I was so set in my ways and closed off to finding love, that life with Denna had taken me completely by surprise.

  I spent one long day away from her as I paddled around the island in the dinghy to survey the island. We’d been here for nearly three months and I felt like we needed a better plan for winter, just in case. There were some high hills with caves and I’d often wondered if we might be better off holing up in the caves for the winter if our benefactors didn’t return. We would have to haul firewood and supplies up to the caves, but we might fare better if we had a larger cave deep in the mountains to keep us warm and away from the frigid ice we were sure to be tormented with so close to the ocean. I had all but decided that we would get started prepping the caves right away when I paddled into our lagoon and saw Denna waiting patiently for me. She was naked, lying in the surf and she was such a vision, I was hard before the sand brushed the bottom of the boat. I stripped down, eager to join her as the waves lapped gently at her curves, her silhouette perfectly etched into the sand. This woman was amazing and she was all mine.

  Lying down next to her I stroked her wet, salty skin, she responded as she always did when I touched her and it fascinated me that I had that kind of power over her just by touch. Looking up into my eyes she drew herself up and kissed me full on the lips, it was loving and passionate. Her arms snaked around my neck and she pulled me on top of her, as I looked down at her with her dark hair splayed out I felt my heart melting in my chest. As our experiences had developed and our relationship was growing, Denna had physically changed. There was a smile in her eyes now, and a definite softness to her aura, she was stunningly beautiful and it seemed like the demons that haunted her were fading into the past, and I liked the thought that I had something to do with her happiness. I wanted her to know how much she'd captured my heart; that being away from her just for one afternoon made me sad. I couldn’t believe how much I had missed her. For the first time since Amber, I was serious about someone. I'd always believed that if Amber had not been taken by the accident, we'd still be together now. I had dated other women since Amber, even slept with a few, but I’d always felt like I was betraying her memory, but with Denna, it was different. I knew Amber wanted us to be happy and I knew Amber would have loved Denna.

  “You look so serious,” Denna quietly observed, sandwiching my face between her palms.

  Jolted from my thoughts I smiled and planted a firm kiss on her salty lips. “Marry me?” I blurted with a huge grin on my face. I didn’t care that it was fast and that the entire world would think we’d lost our minds, I just knew I wanted this for the rest of my life. “I know we've not known each other long, but I don’t care! Marry me?” I rambled, still with the idiotic grin on my face.

  Her hands still lingered on my face and a small smile tugged at her lips. “Captain Seth Derby, you are the most amazing man I have ever known and you are quite a foolish romantic. I would love to marry you.” She grinned.

  I half-expected fireworks to explode from the sky above us because my heart was exploding with love for this woman who made me happier than I had a right to be. I never dreamed she could ever look twice at me, much less fall in love with me. She had just made me the happiest man in the world and I couldn't wait to share it with everyone.

  Denna's legs gently stroked mine as we kissed, loving and content to play in the surf with each other. I could stay like this forever. Her smooth, naked skin underneath me began to warm to my touch as the waves tickled our bodies like droplets of ice. I was suddenly very aware of her arousal, hitching myself to one side as I took a long lingering look at my new fiancé. I admired her from her long, dark mane, to her plump lips that were a pleasure to kiss, among other things. Her bone structure was prominent, each point striking a pose, from her collarbone to her pelvis. She was no longer smoothly waxed, and a fine smattering of dark curls nestled between her legs, disappearing into the depth of her sex, which was exactly where I wanted to be right there and then. My fingers traced patterns all over her as she lay in the sand as I teased her. Her body lifted slightly to meet my fingertips and I was bewitched, meanwhile she never took her eyes from me. That was the biggest change in Denna. She no longer clamped her eyes shut from habit. When we made love, her eyes were open, eager to share our pleasure together.

  I stroked over her pubic area and she purred in my ear, licking the soft lobe, sending a wave of pleasure through my body. She guided my hands down to her pussy, eager as ever for my touch, but I’d never had much experience of a woman touching herself and I was quite fascinated by the very thought. I wanted to watch, to see the expression on her face and just to see how she might pleasure herself differently than I would. I guided her hands back to where she had left mine and I flashed a wicked grin. “Touch yourself baby, show me what you like.”

  “I like it when you touch me.” She smiled.

  “I want to watch.” I insisted, rising up on my elbow to get a better vantage point.

  Denna's fingers were light and teasing, I noticed how she stroked her damp folds, tracing her fingers through the unfamiliar curls. She teased her flesh with her fingernails, applying gentle pressure to certain areas. She circled her clitoris and with her middle finger she pressed the swelling little bud and a soft moan escaped her lips as she reached to stroke her nipples with her other hand, caressing her palm over her breast, cupping herself as she flicked her clit. I noticed her hips tensing as she did it. She was so fucking hot, I was mesmerized, watching as two of her fingers slid down and disappeared inside her opening, almost as quick as they'd gone in, I could see them again, glistening with the evidence of her arousal that was coursing through her body.

  “Make yourself come baby,” I whispered gently, reaching to stroke her right nipple, the one neglected by her other hand still working her left breast. I was completely overcome, watching her pleasure herself. I could hear slight squishing noises as her fingers worked her wet pussy and she moaned her pleasure as she watched me watching her. I was spellbound and I wanted to experience for myself how wet she was. As she worked her clit and palmed her breast, arching her back in pleasure, I fingered her pussy, thrusting in and out of her with first one finger and then two. I stroked her hard and fast and her eyes rolled back into her head as she came with a loud gasp of my name on her lips.

  As her moistness stole over my fingers, Denna nuzzled into my neck, I could feel her hands descending my body, and at any moment, she was going to find a nice surprise. Her hands found my erection and she suddenly stopped nuzzling, looking at me we both smiled a big, naughty smile.

  With a
slight squeeze of her hand I could feel my erection lengthen further, which I didn't think was possible as hard as I already was for her. However, it seemed to want to go that extra distance as it was so obviously in good hands. Denna slid down my body, pushing me back into the sand as she bent over me. Without warning, I felt her warm wet mouth slide over my erection as she pulled me deeper into her mouth. She was warm and lurid, and she took the whole of me inside her until I could feel the back of her throat, her tongue gliding down the shaft as she sucked me in and out, adding the grazing of her teeth at the tip. I was a quivering wreck and could feel the onset of my climax, it was quite difficult not to explode in her mouth as she sucked me so wantonly but I wanted this to last.

  I stroked the back of her hair as she moved up and down the length of me. She was a hungry lover and clearly enjoyed our sexual relationship but I was going to come hot and wet in her mouth if she didn’t stop and I’d already decided I wanted to come inside her sweet pussy.

  “Baby, you are quite talented at that, but I have other plans for you,” I said gently as I pulled her back up my body, kissing her soundly for her efforts to please me.
