She felt unbelievable. Her incredibly tight walls hugged my cock as it drove into her, squeezing me tight with each contraction that lingered in her quaking body. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I kept myself balanced on top of her, so that I could hover over her and observe each change in her face. I also didn't want to miss a second of those amazing eyes of hers once she opened them.
As I continued to thrust myself into her—each stroke bringing me closer to losing complete control—I couldn't help but allow myself to disappear in the sensation of her entire body as it touched mine. The soft skin of her stomach and legs, and the way her thighs squeezed my sides while they encircled me. The incredible feel of her full breasts as they jiggled underneath me with each of my thrusts. Everything about the moment was hypnotic and mesmerizing—the sounds of the ocean and the feel of the breeze and Maggie's body against mine.
Finally, what I'd been waiting for happened. Maggie opened her eyes and those gorgeous blue pools lay before me. They seemed so deep that I felt like I could fall into them and lose myself in them forever. As I felt wave after wave of her energy build in me, the entire world around us dropped away and all I could see was Maggie.
"Oh, God, Shane!" Maggie yelled. It was something I'd wanted to hear for so long. Knowing that I was inside of her and was bringing her so much pleasure. "Shane, you feel so amazing!"
I felt her arms and legs wrap tight around me as I came. I shook uncontrollably, burying my face in Maggie's hair, and feeling as if everything inside me was emptying out, on display for the world to see. But it was just me and her, and for the first time in my life I felt like I had found the person I could be completely vulnerable with. I wanted to stay with her like that forever.
When I opened my eyes she was smiling up at me, her entire face glowing. "God, you're so beautiful, Maggie."
Then her face turned that incredible shade of pink and she looked away, but still smiled. If I could make her blush like that for the rest of my life, I'd be the luckiest man in the world.
"We should probably get dressed," she said in that sexy, deep voice of hers.
I rolled off of her and watched her fix her clothes while I pulled mine on. Then I grabbed her and held her close to me. I didn't even know if I had the words to express to her how amazing that moment was between the two of us. It was as if she had unlocked something inside me that had been closed off for a long time.
"Maggie …" She looked up at me so sweetly, with smiling eyes that waited to hear the words I was wanting to say to her. "Maggie, I love you."
She turned to me and put her hands on my face, then touched her perfect lips to mine so softly that I could have sworn that they were made of silk. "I love you, Shane. I always have. Ever since that first kiss. I've never stopped hoping that, somehow, we would come back here together."
I lay there for a long time, just holding her and feeling her lips on my skin and her fingers as they pushed through my hair. "I feel so incredibly lucky. For such a long time I felt cursed somehow. Like I would never be able to trust another person—that my need to be an actor had ruined my chances at being happy in any other area of my life. But now, I just can't believe that all this is mine—this land, and you. And I know that everything in my life has led me here, to this moment. That I'm going to be a big part of keeping this amazing place available to anyone who wants to experience it. If it hadn't been for my acting career—and even my manager—it wouldn't have been possible. And you too, Maggie."
I turned my head and looked up at the sky and noticed the first stars just appearing. It all looked so vast and amazing and made me feel even more lucky that I'd found my place here.
"The sky looks so amazing right now," Maggie said as she squeezed her arms around me. "There's still color from the sun going down, but the moon and stars are visible too."
"I've never seen a sky that looked exactly like this, not since that night we were here together."
"It's so amazing, Shane. I'm so glad we're here together."
"When we live here we can come out and look at the stars like this every night."
"I'd really love that."
We picked up the blanket and made the trip back to the car while there was still a bit of light in the sky. Then we headed back to the house on the edge of the property.
Maggie stayed there with me until our house was built. She quit her job, on my insistence. She didn't seem to like it very much anyway. She helped me find another manager, someone who worked with her friend Janine and who they both seemed to trust. It felt good putting some of that work back into someone else's hands, and it allowed me to spend more time on things that were more important to me. On Maggie and the house we would be living in together.
She helped me design it, our house. I smiled every time I thought those words. We had my parents out to discuss what they wanted, made all the arrangement, then watched the construction from the telescope on the patio.
Every morning we would get up and see what progress had been made through the telescope on the balcony. And after that we would make love, sometimes right out there.
"I'm going to miss this a little," she said one time as the morning sun warmed our naked bodies. "Making love on this balcony."
"Don't worry," I said as I kissed her head. "We'll find a spot down there that's just as amazing."
We were married in the cove a few weeks after we moved into our new home. It was a very small gathering in the cove at sunset—that perfect time when the sky changed color and the stars were just starting to come out. That night the sky turned brilliant red and stayed that way until the ceremony was over. I'd never seen such a beautiful sight in my life. Maggie, with her beautiful, blue eyes and the intense red sky behind her. She said the same thing, and she's lived here her whole life.
Now we go out to the beach every night to watch the sun set. It's always incredible, but I'll never forget the way she looked on our wedding night under the starry sky.
Chapter Thirteen
Maggie - Epilogue
“You won’t get away this time, Hawk. There’s no way down from this skyscraper! I’ve got you cornered!”
“That’s what you think, McTavish! See you on the other side!”
I watched Shane—as Travis Hawk, the incredibly hot, rogue mercenary who traveled the world, fighting evil underworld characters—throw a nylon rope with a metal hook on one end, just as a helicopter rose behind the staging area. Apparently, through the magic of editing and computer generated graphics, the elevated space where Shane was standing would be turned into the roof of a skyscraper, making him—and the helicopter behind him—appear to be hundreds of stories off the ground.
Even though everything was being shot just a few stories high, there was still a very big risk of something going wrong, but Shane liked to do his own stunts. I watched as he jumped off the edge of the building holding the rope—which was hooked to a metal railing on the building. In the movie, he would be shown propelling down the rope to the helicopter as it pulled away. That part had already been shot. Today, Shane was—in reality—jumping off side of the stage, then landing on a huge inflated balloon on the other ground below.
I loved coming to Shane’s studio to watch him work. Not long after we were married, and my parents moved to the island, Shane started planning a movie production company. He bought up already-existing buildings on the outskirts of Lihue, in order to keep the integrity and natural beauty of the island intact. Then had an entire studio designed that was dedicated to very low impact filming on all of the islands, but especially this one.
He told me that any filming done this way would take longer and would be more costly than a normal movie shoot, but even so, there was already a long waiting list to film at this location. And I could understand why. This island was so beautiful.
This was the first movie to utilize any of the sound stages or filming areas located on the production company compound. He wanted to run through the shooting of a movie that he was producing fi
rst, in order iron out any of the new-equipment kinks. But soon, there would be productions scheduled back to back for the next few years.
“Hey, babe!” Shane yelled to me as he came around the staging area. Questions were coming at him from left and right but he walked past everyone, keeping his eyes on me. “You look gorgeous.”
“I doubt that very much,” I said, glancing down at his hands as they wrapped around my eight-and-a-half-months-pregnant belly. “I’m as big as a house.”
“You’re beautiful,” he said, kissing my forehead. “Every single inch of you.”
“Mr. Holloway, I need your approval on these,” one of Shane’s assistants said as a pile of papers were thrust in front of him.
“I’ll get to them later. Just leave everything in my office. We’re wrapping up filming tonight and I’ll take care of all of the paperwork in the morning.”
“You got it, Mr. Holloway.”
“So you’re going to be done with everything by Valentine’s Day?” I asked, my fingers entangled in Shane’s hair. He’d let it grow out a bit, and it was now a sexy mane that came halfway down his neck. “You won’t be jumping off buildings or going on any more high-speed boat chases?”
“Nope. Not for this movie, anyway. We’re wrapping up tonight. I’m going to have some work in the editing room, but I’ll be all yours after this weekend. And I have a big surprise for you,” Shane said as he brought his lips to mine.
“I don’t need a big surprise. Just being with you will be the perfect way to celebrate.”
“Okay, it’s not big or small. It’s just a surprise.”
“Please don’t buy me anything, Shane. I don’t love you because of the things you buy me. You know that, don’t you?”
“Yes, I know that. But I’m allowed to do nice things for the woman I love, aren’t I?”
I gazed up at Shane, trying to keep a straight face, but couldn’t keep a smile from creeping up one side of my mouth. Before I knew it, that smile was stretching from ear to ear. Shane always seems to have that effect on me. “Of course, you are.” I said. “But really, the only thing I’d like is a nice quiet hour or two with you down at the cove. I haven’t been there in months.”
“I’d like that too. Why don’t we spend the day lounging around down there?”
“Honey,” I said with a laugh. “I might be able to get down the trail to the cove, but I don’t think there’s any way I could hike back up in my condition,” I said, circling my belly with one of my hands.
“Don’t worry about a thing. I’ll carry you.” Shane’s lips dropped down to mine once more before we were interrupted again.
“Sorry to bother you, Mr. Holloway.”
“What is it?” Shane said, his mischievous eyes still on mine.
“Jack wants you to check something on the video playback. He says you might need to reshoot a scene and he wants your input … like … now.”
Shane sighed and kissed my forehead. “Tell him I’ll be right there.”
“I’m gonna to get going. I’ll see you back at the house.”
“Are you sure? It shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.”
“Even if you have to reshoot?”
“I doubt we’re gonna need to do that. But if you’re tired I totally understand.”
“Yeah, I’d like to lay down for a little while. I’ll take a nap, then figure out what to make for dinner.”
“No,” Shane said, a worried look on his face. “You go home and relax. I want you to stay off your feet. You’re due in a couple weeks. I’ll make dinner tonight after I get home, and I don’t want to hear any arguments.”
I rolled my eyes at Shane, then smiled. “Fine. You can make dinner. But don’t be upset if all I want to eat is frozen pizza. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it all day.”
“You’re hilarious. Frozen pizza it is, then. And the cove on Valentine’s Day.”
“Yeah right,” I said. “I can just picture you carrying me in this condition. You wouldn’t make it ten feet!”
“We’ll see.” Shane kissed me one more time, then ran off to talk to the crew.
It was more than an hour drive back to our house on the other side of the island, so I put on some music and took in the beautiful scenery as I headed up the coast.
It couldn’t have been ten minutes into my drive when I felt the first contraction. At first I thought it was just the baby kicking or one of the other uncomfortable moments of my pregnancy, but when it didn’t go away I knew what was happening, even though I wasn’t due for two more weeks. I decided I’d better be safe and turn around because the further I drove toward our house, the further away I was from any of the hospitals on the island.
I thought I’d be able to make it back to town on my own, but when the next contraction came, I almost drove off into a ditch. I pulled off the road and called for an ambulance and it showed up within minutes.
“That was fast,” I said to the EMT as he helped me out of my car.
“We were just a few miles away, on our way back to Kauai Medical, when we got the call. Do you know your due date, Mrs …?”
“Holloway. Maggie Holloway. I’m not due for another two weeks. I wasn’t sure if this was a false alarm or not, but I thought I’d better be safe and call.”
The two EMTs helped me into the back of the ambulance and started getting my vitals. “Definitely better to be safe. We’ll get you to the hospital in no time, Maggie.”
“I tried to call my husband a minute ago but he didn’t answer. He’s filming a movie not too far from here and he might not—”
“The hospital will call your husband as soon as we get there. Don’t worry about a thing.”
“I need to call my parents too. They’re more than an hour away and I want them to be there if the baby is coming.”
“All that will be taken care of when we get to the hospital. Just lay back and relax. We’ll be there in a few minutes.”
“It looks like you’re going to have your baby today, Maggie. I called your husband’s number again, but there still wasn’t any answer. Is there anyone else you want us to call?”
“Yes, my parents. Their number is—”
Just then the phone in the room rang and the nurse picked it up. “Yes, Mr. Holloway. I have Maggie right here. Hold on please.”
The nurse handed me the phone. “It’s your husband.”
“Shane! The baby is coming now!”
“I’m only fifteen minutes away, Maggie. I’ll be there as soon as I can.”
“Okay. I haven’t talked to my mom and dad yet. I don’t think there’s any way they’ll be able to get here on time.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll call them and—”
“They’re on the other side of the island, Shane. There’s no … way … oh God …”
“Maggie? Babe? You okay?”
I wasn’t able to do or say a thing until after the contraction passed. They were getting stronger and coming faster and I knew there wasn’t much time. “Shane … the baby is coming really soon. I want you to be here.”
“I will, Maggie. I promise. I have an idea. Just hold on as long as you can, okay?”
“Okay. I’ll try. I love you so much.”
“I love you too, Maggie.”
The phone went dead and I handed it to the nurse. “He’s on his way.”
“Well, he’d better get here really soon, sweetie.”
“Can you make sure he’s brought to me when he gets here? I want him in the delivery room. And my parents too. I want them all in there if they make it to the hospital on time. I just hope they do.”
“Of course. Now just relax. Everything is going to be just fine, Maggie.”
I fought back the tears that were welling up in my eyes. This wasn’t how I’d planned things at all. After all the classes I’d taken with Shane and my mom, and all the plans I made, I’d imagined that I would be surrounded by everyone I loved the day I gave birth to my first baby. I was scared and I neede
d the support of my family and the man I loved. But all of the sadness and fear was quickly pushed out of my head with the next contraction, when all I could do was grip the nurse’s hand and scream.
“Okay, Maggie,” the doctor said from behind her surgical mask. “I need you to start pushing.”
I had passed the point of being ashamed of the fact that I couldn’t stop crying long ago. When they came to wheel me into the delivery room, I begged them to wait, but they said the baby was coming and there was nothing anyone could do to stop it. From that point onward, all I remember was my incoherent sobbing in between the pain of the contractions.
“Maggie, you have to push, now,” the doctor said with a calm, but urgent tone.
“No, please, not yet,” I said, but I could feel that I didn’t have a choice in the matter any longer. I could feel the baby coming, so I took a deep breath and gritted my teeth. Just then the door to the delivery room flew open and there they were. My mother and father and Shane. They ran in and surrounded the bed and grabbed my hands.
In the back of my mind, I wanted to kiss Shane and tell him I loved him, but the fact that a baby was coming out of me suddenly took precedence. And now that everyone that I loved was with me, I let go and pushed as hard as I could.
When they brought my daughter to me, I was so weak and exhausted I could barely open my eyes. But as soon as they put her down in my arms I was wide awake.
“She’s so beautiful, dear,” my mother said. “I’m so glad we made it. That was such an unexpected ride … over the entire island!”
“What do you mean?” I asked, looking around at the three of them, then my eyes landing on Shane’s. He was smiling and his eyes had that look in them—the one that always told me he was up to something.
“Your husband brought us all the way across the island by helicopter,” my dad said. “We landed on the roof of the hospital!”
“You’re kidding,” I said, still looking up into Shane’s eyes. “The one from the set?”
