I was a little concerned by the rifle that was lying in the back seat. It was obvious that he was expecting trouble or, at least, was ready for it. He had mentioned wildlife and at first, I thought of chickens and other things of the sort. It never dawned on me that he had wild animals that were not domesticated and roaming free.
It wasn’t until I heard the roar of the lion and then saw the huge trunk of an elephant that I began to get the idea that he had gone all out to make this a refuge.
“I think that you are exactly like these animals. You just need somebody to see you as that rare pearl on the bottom of the ocean. You are wild and untamed. Breaking you of your misconceptions about sex and what you can enjoy has been an eye-opening experience for the both of us,” He said as he grabbed the gun and held it in one hand.
He was driving with the other and moving between the trees. We came to a stop. We didn’t have a whole lot of time and darkness was swallowing up the area by the second. My stomach was in knots and my heart was pumping in my chest like never before.
“I don’t know what you’re trying to accomplish with all of this, Devlin. I can only assume that you have a purpose for bringing me out here other than a game of show and tell,” I said with my hands holding onto the dashboard with my fingers turning deathly white.
“I want to teach you that fear and sex can go hand in hand. Get out and we’re going to take a walk the rest of the way. No vehicle can go through the terrain that we are about to embark on. It is nice to see the full moon. That will make it easier to see where we’re going. I think that tonight we’re going to rough it in the great outdoors. That’s the reason why I brought that bag with us. You can carry it and I’ll carry the gun in case we need it for protection,” He said knowing full well that I was probably thinking differently about going any further.
“I should have realized that this was just another one of your games. I didn’t think that you were capable of putting me in harm, but maybe I was wrong,” I said as I was putting him in his place and making him realize that scaring me was not the answer.
“I thought that was pretty self-explanatory. You can go back, but you will need these to do it,” He said as he tossed the keys into the wild.
“You could have just put them in your pocket. You didn’t have to throw them away. There’s no way to get back out of here without somebody coming to the rescue. I know that I shouldn’t question your motives, but sometimes your motives are questionable,” I said as I stood there and listen to the rustle of the leaves.
The wildlife was waiting for the darkness to give them the freedom to do what they wanted to do.
“I want you to treat this like it’s a lesson in what life has to offer. Dangers are everywhere and you could easily get run over by a bus stepping off a curb. The only thing that you can count on in life is death and taxes,” He said as he took a few steps ahead and looked back to make sure that I was following.
I took his hand and I wanted that feeling of being overprotected. His fingers entwined around my own. That was a loving gesture. If I didn’t know any better, I would think that he really cared. This was exactly the way that a man would bring a date to a horror movie. They would hope that they would be so terrified that they would want to wrap their hands around somebody.
“I’m not going to give you the satisfaction of being afraid. You’re definitely a different kind of fun. I’m used to feeling nothing at all, but you make my pulse race. You’re like that finger on a loaded gun. I can feel the rising bile in my stomach. That comes from the unknown,” I said as I took a few more steps towards a wild kingdom that was used to killing for the sake of survival.
“I don’t think that I could change for anyone. You of all people know that I live my life a certain way. I can’t be mundane and boring and pushing the envelope is my way of keeping things fresh,” He said while planting his lips on me without any warning whatsoever.
It was a long and lingering hot kiss. He was doing this for a reason and I was trying to find out what that might be. I wanted this, but only for the right reasons and not his perception of how he should act to keep me from losing it. I finally pulled away, but it wasn’t easy.
“I’ve never asked you to change, but you can’t say the same thing about me. You’ve been trying to change me from the moment that I got here, but I believe that it’s for the better. I was hiding from life and your offer allowed me to reach for the stars. I no longer have to settle for what is considered safe. Taking a risk is the only way to live life to the fullest,” I said while still feeling that there was more for us to experience together.
The light had extinguished, but he wasn’t wrong about the moon. It was bright and shone down from above to give us a semblance of where we were going. The feeling of his lips meant that this was war. If he wanted to play this game, then I was more than determined to meet him halfway.
He probably thought that I was going to move away from the battle, but I was ready to bear arms and do what was necessary to make him see me as a potential partner and not just some conquest.
“You always seem to take things to the extreme, Lucy. You always have to think that there is an ulterior motive. I just thought that it was time for you to see what made me excited. I lost sight of what makes this place special. I’m about to rectify that,” He said while trying to make me believe that this was not his way of making me do something that was against my better judgment.
Chapter 25
He kissed me again. I was enjoying it, despite the fact that he was strong arming me into it. I don’t know how long we kissed, but it felt like we were the only two people in the world. I could hear the cries of something in the distance that was being attacked by something that wasn’t taking no for an answer. This was a tender moment and not one that was ripe with a sexual tension that I’d felt those previous times. This was him lowering his guard and letting me in.
I had my eyes closed and then I opened them and saw something that made my mind short circuit for a moment. Standing right in the path behind Devlin was an honest to goodness lion. It was licking its chops and then cocking its head like it was looking at us as prey for his dinner.
It moved closer. It was a wonder that Devlin didn’t feel his presence. I wanted to tell him, but I was also feeding off the adrenaline rush of the moment. I wanted to warn him, but it was that fear of being torn apart that made the feeling in the air become electrified.
The feel of his hands on my ass and the way that his tongue was exploring my mouth had my knees knocking and my legs about the buckle out from underneath me. I’d no idea how long it was going to take to open up his eyes. I thought that I saw some glimmer of hope. The way that he spoke earlier about having feelings for me was a good starting point.
The lion made no noise and since we didn’t show him that we were a threat, it decided to leave well enough alone. It went in search of something that would be afraid of it. I was a little surprised that it didn’t feel that fear coming off of me in waves.
His lips parted and there was nothing more that I wanted to do than to continue what we were doing. He touched my face. He looked at me in the moonlight in a romantic setting that was meant to make me feel in his power. It was his gravity that pulled me towards him in the first place. I didn’t want to admit that he had me from the moment that he said my name. I only used his proposal as an excuse to get close to him. I didn’t fully realize that he was more man than I could handle.
“I’m guessing from your reaction that we had unwanted company. I hope that Simba didn’t give you the impression that he was a danger to us. As long as we don’t show any kind of sudden movements, then he usually goes about his business. He concentrates his appetite on those smaller animals that can’t defend themselves. He is after all the king of the jungle. He proves that every day by making those other animals scurry in the opposite direction,” He said while moving his hand along my shoulder and down to where he could now lift my fingers to his mouth.
“
You probably knew that that was going to happen. You wanted me to feel like my life was coming to an end. There’s no way that you could possibly know that he would come calling, but you were secretly hoping that he would,” I said as I looked into his eyes and wondered just what to expect from a man that was this unpredictable.
“I always seem to underestimate you, Lucy. I have to stop doing that. You have this keen instinct and maybe that is the reason why I felt compelled to get to know you. All I know is that you have that certain something that makes me almost powerless to resist,” He said.
His hands were busy unbuttoning my safari shirt. I was not the only one that was in for a surprise, as he got a look at the fact that I wasn’t wearing a bra. I was literally going commando. I think that he knew that from the way that I was blushing something fierce.
“You have turned me into a woman that I don’t recognize. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. I’m glad that you were the one that was able to see something that others didn’t. I may be hesitant at times, but you somehow make me want to push past that to the other side,” I said as I looked at his prominent member.
“I should have started you off slow and introduced you to my special friends here in the wild in broad daylight. They have a tendency to act differently under the cover of darkness. Don’t worry, that’s the reason why I brought the gun. I hope to god that we don’t have to use it. I’m not what you would call an avid hunter and I’ve always believed that all life is precious,” He said while making me believe that the world was not exactly black and white.
I didn’t stop him, as he opened me up and admired my firm and supple breasts. He made me feel like I was something and then he touched my nipples by flicking them with his finger. It made me moan and that, of course, made him do it again several more times.
I knew that I didn’t stand a chance and that I was only deluding myself into thinking that I could deny him anything. He pinched my nipples and then he leaned forward so that he could engulf one of those erected buds into his mouth.
It was fascinating to be with him. I knew that he was right there with me every step of the way. I was right about my body betraying me and even the fear that I felt from being surrounded by these wild animals did not deter from the way that he was making me feel with his mouth.
“I don’t think that I will ever get used to this. You make me feel like I am never going to be the same. I get this feeling that that was what you wanted and my god…you certainly do have a way of convincing me,” I said with my hands cupping his head to my chest.
He popped my nipples out of his mouth with his hands returning to my ass cheeks clad in that tightly encased cargo pants. His amorous ways reminded of a candle blowing in the wind. It could be extinguished when his mood shifted, but so far it was burning quite brightly.
“I get this feeling that you want to do more than just show me all the wonders of the island,” I said as I went hungrily for his shirt.
I didn’t want to make him think that he was the only one that could take the bull by the horns. I was more aware of myself than ever before. I was starting to act upon my feelings without thinking about them. It was kind of freeing to know that I could open myself up and not worry about what people would think about me.
I couldn’t get over that image of the lion standing there sizing us up for dinner. I think that I was using that to fuel the fire. It would make it easier to do something that I wouldn’t normally do. I just hope that he wasn’t spending his life going back and forth in his mind. The past was meant to learn from not dwell on. I wanted him to be here with me in the moment and not occupied with old emotions that didn’t need to be there.
I felt his hand undoing the button on my pants and then slipping into the heated embrace of my naked mound. His skin touched my own and he danced along my flesh with his fingertips leading the way to the treasure chest below. He stared at me with this head up against my forehead and my breath caught in my throat.
“You’ve always been right here in my thoughts. Somebody wants you and needs you and he’s standing right in front of you,” He said as his finger made entry.
“I hope to god that you mean that, Devlin. I don’t want this to be anything more than what it appears to be. I can’t take this constant pull. I do love the way that you push me and I don’t think that I would be able to do this with anybody else,” I said as I bit my bottom lip and could feel that moment coming upon me.
It was better to be loved than not all. That orgasm was something that I wanted to happen more often. I was afraid of my own body, but I was beginning to shed those doubts for something of confidence. He held me close and let me ride that wave all the way to the end. The way that he was looking at me only enhanced what I was already going through. I thought that he was looking for perfection, but instead, he was quite content in turning me into the woman that I was supposed to be.
“That’s it…don’t let anything stand in your way of the pleasure that you deserve, Lucy. This is only the beginning and there’s a whole world out there waiting for you to see it for the first time. I’m equally thrilled every time that I show somebody something that they haven’t seen before. I see it through their eyes and it’s more profound than any other time,” He said.
I could see the juices coating his digit and I could see on his face that he loved the taste of me. It was driving him to take things further and then he was down on his knees with my zipper in his hand. I implored him not to do it with my eyes, but I don’t think that I was very convincing.
“I don’t think that I’m ready for this, Devlin. Maybe we should slow things…down,” I said as he pulled my pants down until I was naked and open to his starving eyes. I was glad that there was nobody around.
“I know that you don’t mean that. You think that you are through learning, but there are still many lessons to go. I have you in my capable hands and I promise that I won’t do anything that will make you run away from me. I want you to believe that I always have your best interests at heart,” He said.
“I think that I’ve always known that there was something here. I just needed to uncover what made you tick. It may have taken me a while, but I’m starting to get the idea of how your mind works. I’ve seen it in the way that you create your masterpiece. I’ve seen in the way that you deal with your mental illness. You’re not the normal everyday kind of man. You strive for your best and you like to challenge yourself at every turn,” I said as he lifted one of my legs over his shoulder.
“I want you to hold onto my shoulders and don’t let go,” he said as he lifted me into the air with both of my legs over his shoulders.
“What the…,” I said as my arms came in contact with the branches overhead. My fingers grasp onto the one that I could reach.
He devoured my body, consuming the slickness that seeped freely from my lips. The excitement of him finger fucking me had turned me on and there was no way that I was going to stop him from his appointed rounds. I was glad to have the branch to hold onto, but he was still holding me upright and hanging with my legs dangling precariously over his shoulders.
I was worried about the ring on his soul for the woman that he loved before I came into the picture. I was not scared of my emotions and what I was scared of the most was that they weren’t going to be returned. I would make him say those words or die trying.
“I don’t know where you get these ideas…holy mother of god. You are not one to hold back. Your tongue is sliding inside of me easily and you know that your finger was only a tease to something better to come…YESSSSSS,” I said as my orgasm grabbed me tightly and wouldn’t let go.
I almost lost my grip on the branch overhead. If I had, I would’ve been hanging upside down with all the blood running to my head. My ears were pumping and my head was consciously aware that he had me right where he wanted me. There was nobody quite like him and I didn’t think that any man after him would be able to measure up. He was that measuring stick. He made it impossible for me to
think of any man the same way again.
I had been at a crossroads concerning my sexuality, but he had this way of giving me the freedom to figure things out on my own. I’d never been with a woman and what Angelica did was something that I would never forget. He had given me that gift.
He was lowering me to the ground so that he could kiss my lips with the last of my juices clinging to them. I licked them clean with my tongue swiping across his mouth and then delving in deeper to get more of what he had already quenched his appetite for.
“I hope that you don’t think that I’ve been mean. I know what it means to show tough love and sometimes you have to do something that is not exactly going to be met favorably. I don’t want you to give up on yourself and this has all been for you,” He said while dragging me along in his wake.
He set up the tent while I stood there and admired the way that he was able to immerse himself into the wildlife. He didn’t seem like the kind of guy that would be caught dead roughing it, but I guess even billionaires like to get away from it all. It was his way of getting back to his roots and finding that freedom that he had when he was a child. I had heard those stories while I sat in his lap naked in the study.
