Just thinking about it made Ash furious.
What kind of man could do such a thing to such a beautiful woman? He wrapped his arms around Kallie’s body and held her closer to him, and he smiled when she pressed even deeper. It was as if her body, in its most vulnerable state, longed to be close to him. Longed to be nearer to him, despite how she tried to push him away.
Despite how Ash tried to push her away.
He closed his eyes and allowed the calm of the moment to sweep him under. Into an endless moment of comfort and relaxation he didn’t want to end. He smoothed his fingers through Kallie’s hair until he fell asleep, his body giving way to what he wanted.
To be close to Kallie.
His Pretty Kallie.
Chapter 16
Kallie
Kallie was in a rowboat, rocking against the gentle waves. Lying down against the smooth wooden floor as she floated along the ocean. She was alone. Trapped in the middle of the swaying ocean as her body rested against the soothing coolness of the wooden rowboat.
She had no oars. No engine. Just her and the endless crystal waters below her.
She sat up in the boat and looked over the side. She smiled at her reflection, in awe of how clear it was. Despite the movement of the waves, her reflection didn’t undulate. Didn’t shiver. Didn’t ripple. She smiled at herself and dipped her fingers into the water, allowing its warmth to trickle up her arm.
She watched the mirror in front of her as something rose behind her. The water reflected a darkened figure, and she was about to dive out of the boat. Away from the fear she felt climbing up her chest. But when the figure appeared over her shoulder, it was Ash’s smiling face.
His cute little freckles.
His thick mahogany hair.
His beautiful, wondrous lips.
Kallie turned to kiss him, but when she moved the face changed. Morphed before her very eyes until she was staring into the glare of her ex-fiancé. James.
“Gold digger.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Come back here!”
Kallie dove into the water and jerked herself awake from her dream. She felt something warm encompass her quickly, tightening around her body. Her eyes fluttered open and she found herself pressed against Ash’s warm chest.
Warm like the water she could still feel on the tips of her fingers.
“You okay?” he asked.
She looked up into his half-hooded eyes and the dream quickly faded into the setting sun. Kallie nodded and rested her chin back against his strong form as Ash’s fingers stroked her hair. He sighed heavily, like she had woken him up, and a sense of guilt dripped over her.
“I didn’t mean to wake you up,” she said.
“I was already awake. Just lying here watching the sunset.”
“How long have we been out here?”
“Most of the afternoon,” he said.
“And you didn’t want me up?”
“Didn’t need to. You were tired, you needed the rest, and it was peaceful out here.”
She nuzzled her cheek into his chest as his fingers slid through her hair. The sunset was beautiful, and despite her dream, she felt rested. Her head was no longer pounding and her body no longer hurt. Her chest wasn’t clenched like it had been before and her heart was stable in her chest. She liked lying there with Ash. She enjoyed feeling his strong legs cradle her body. The peace that surrounded her was unprecedented. Something she never thought she’d find on the island her honeymoon was supposed to happen on.
Yet somehow, she found it with Ash.
The cute bartender from the Cabana.
“Think we should head back?” Kallie asked.
“Whatever you want to do is fine with me,” Ash said.
“I’m getting a little chilly in nothing but a bikini. Even with the blanket.”
“Then by all means, let’s go get you warm.”
With the help of Ash, Kallie slid from the hammock and onto her feet. She sighed as Ash draped the blanket over her shoulders, then he slipped his arm around her bare waist. Just the touch of his skin against hers made her shiver, resulting in him holding her closer. He thought she was cold, but she knew better.
She was charged with electricity she couldn’t shake.
She walked back with him to her villa and they stopped on her doorstep. Kallie wasn’t ready to let him go. He had been so understanding and gracious in allowing her to talk. And it had been good to hear someone who didn’t know James call him an asshole. It confirmed what she already thought. That what had happened was a result of him and not her. Kallie lamented when his hand fell from her waist, and she watched as he bent forward and kissed her cheek.
A soft, warm, gentle kiss. Like any gentleman would provide.
“Get some rest,” Ash said. “And drink another glass of water.”
“I will,” Kallie said.
“Promise?”
“For you? Sure,” she said.
Then, she watched him turn to walk away.
Something inside of her snapped. Before she could catch herself, her hand darted out and grabbed his wrist. Ash whipped his head around to look at her, concern flying through his eyes. She immediately dropped his hand as a whirlwind of things in her mind took place. She wasn’t sure if she was doing the right thing. If it was proper for a woman who was supposed to be married only days ago to want a strange man staying with her. But watching him walk away hurt. She didn’t know why, and she didn’t understand why, but she didn’t want him to leave.
Not yet.
“Stay with me,” Kallie said.
“I’m not sure that’s wise,” Ash said.
“Please? I don’t...”
She drew in a deep breath before rolling her shoulders back.
“I don’t want you to go, Ash.”
“Are you sure?” he asked.
Kallie nodded, unable to find any more strength to talk. She didn’t want to be rejected. Not by him. Not after divulging to him how her fiancé had rejected her. His body was strong. Warm. And she wanted it pressed against her. She wanted the chance to wake up to him and erase the first time they had been together. She didn’t want to remember him like that. She didn’t want her only island love affair to be one where the man ran out on her because of some sort of miscommunication.
She wanted the romance.
She wanted the passion.
She wanted all of it.
She held out her hand to him, and his eyes dropped to her outstretched offering. She wiggled her fingers as a smile slid across her cheeks. Ash took her hand and she led him inside, allowing the blanket to slide from her body. She closed the villa door and locked it, her palms pressing into the front door.
She could still feel the phantom ghosts of their first encounter.
His hands slid across her stomach and she sighed. His lips fell to her shoulder, his hand moving her hair off to the side. He kissed up her neck. Her cheek. The shell of her ear. Kallie sighed as she cocked her head back, capturing his lips in a kiss.
Ash’s movements were soft. The desperation she thought she would find was replaced with a slow build that made her stomach churn. Her hands slid back into his hair, pulling him deeper into her lips as they parted for his tongue. She moaned into him, pressing her ass into his growing cock as his hands fell to her hips.
She felt him tugging at the stringed bows, releasing her lower body from the pathetic material of her string bikini.
Kallie turned around in his arms as his hands fluttered up her back. Her tongue massaged his. Danced against the sides of his cheeks. He untied the bows that held up her bikini top and sighed as it fell to the floor. His hand massaged her breast, coaxing her nipple to a painful peak before reaching down with his lips.
Her head fell back as he lapped at her nipples. Her hands gripped his hair as he reached around her waist. Ash pulled her to him, lifting her off her feet as his face buried into her breasts. He kissed and suckled, drawing marks upon her skin as he carried h
er down the hallway.
“Ash,” she said breathlessly. “Oh my gosh.”
He tossed her into the air and caught her in his arms. Her naked body was suspended in midair, her eyes connected with his. He walked into the living room and settled her down into a chair, his body falling between her legs as he continued to kiss her breasts. She rolled into him, sliding down the soft material as her legs parted widely for him. Her pussy was exposed, dripping with want as he kissed down her stomach.
Nipped at her hips.
Kissed along the insides of her thighs.
“Ash. Please,” she said in a whisper.
And he wasted no time in sliding her legs over his shoulders and pressing a kiss to her wet pussy.
Chapter 17
Ash
Ash pressed a kiss to her beautiful pussy before sliding his tongue between Kallie’s folds. He groaned into her. Feeling her juices melt on his tongue. He wrapped his arms around her thighs and pulled her closer, sliding her down the chair and listening as she gasped. He lapped her up. Felt her legs trembling around his shoulders. Her heels dug into his back as he pressed deeper into her body, licking his tongue up her dripping slit.
Part of him wanted to stop. It felt a little too romantic. A little too soft. Ash was worried about how it felt to Kallie. In her vulnerable, rebounded state. He didn’t want to lead her on. To think that this could become more than it was. He did respect her. He did value her. Enough to not want to take advantage of her. But the way Kallie was panting and begging him for more, he couldn’t stay “no” to her.
Not to those breathless sounds.
Ash dove into her pussy, nuzzling around and sucking her clit between his lips. He flicked his tongue over it until Kallie was shaking against his face. Panting and gasping and whimpering his name. Her fingernails were curling into his hair and pulling him closer. Begging him for more in ways no other woman had. He moved his hands up her thighs and reached for her pussy folds, parting them, and watching as her arousal pour down her pink skin.
“Shit,” he said with a groan. “What a sight.”
He drank her down, swallowing every offering she gave him. Ash slid his tongue side to side. Top to bottom. Licking from her puckered asshole all the way to her clit. He spread her thighs and pinned her to the chair, running his tongue around her pussy until she couldn't take it anymore.
“Please, Ash. I need to come. I have to come. Help me. Make me. Please!”
Her words were hot and they made his cock throb. He could feel it leaking from its tip. He pressed his tongue into her clit and felt her toes begin to curl, and he watched her closely. Watched as her lips puckered and her chest reddened. Watched as her eyes rolled into the back of her head. Ash pressed his tongue into her pussy and moved it as fast as he could. Right against the tip of her pulsing clit.
Kallie shook against him. Breathless and soundless as her hands pulled him as close as she could get him.
Her body collapsed and she heaved for air. He licked her pussy slowly, cleaning her up from the mess he’s created. His hands massaged her thighs as she trembled against him, jumping every time his tongue grazed the side of her clit. It made him smile into her. Feeling her jump and giggle at the touch of his tongue. He kissed up her stomach. Her breasts. Her neck. Leaving a trail of her arousal behind before he hovered his lips over hers.
Their eyes connected, and Ash lost himself in her seafoam gaze. In the dark and stormy eyes that reminded him of the island’s rainy season. He pressed his lips against hers and she sighed, her body relaxing into him as his hands wrapped around her.
Then he moved at lightning speed and whipped her around.
Ash sat on the chair and Kallie made quick work of undressing him. She pulled his shirt over his head and tossed it to the floor before quickly tugging his board shorts from his body. His cock was raging. Purple at its tip and blue at its balls. Kallie looked up at him with a knowing glance, and it caused his cock to pulse against his pelvis.
But that wasn’t how Ash wanted her.
He wanted to feel her beautiful pussy clamping around his girth.
He guided her naked body onto his lap and grabbed his cock. He slid easily into her dripping warmth, her pussy walls giving way to his stability. Ash let out a groan, his body settling into the bed as Kallie slid down his thickness. His hands melded into her hips. Her pliable excess that drove him wild. He guided her movements. Rolled her hips. Bounced her up and down on his cock.
His toes were already digging into the carpeted floors.
Kallie’s hands planted on his chest as his fingers dug into her hips. He rolled her deeper, forcing himself into her body. Her walls were thick. Raging with anger and a want to release again. Kallie’s thighs were shivering with her expended energy and Ash was already sweating. She fell against him and he caught her, his hands running up and down her back. He buried himself into her hair, drawing in her vanilla scent as his hips thrust into her body.
“Ash. Yes. You feel ... so good.”
“Don’t hold back,” he said. “Never hold back with me, Kallie.”
Her lips pressed into his neck, kissing along his shoulder as her teeth raked along his skin. This woman was entrancing. A minx unlike any he’d ever been with. Her pussy was tight and dripping down his dick, soaking his balls as they bounced with his thrusts. He rolled against her, his movements controlled as her body quaked and jolted. Goose bumps fled along the length of his body as Kallie peppered him with kisses.
Her lips drove him over the wall.
He slid into her one last time and released. He buried himself within her, rutting his pelvis against her exposed clit. Kallie whimpered against him as his legs pulled taut. His hands pulled her deeper into his body. Rolling her hips shallowly as his trimmed curls stroked her pussy. She panted into his skin as he emptied himself into her, pumping her full of the cum she was pulling from his body. He was desperate to get her to climax again. One last chance at hearing his name fall from her lips.
And he got his wish.
“Ash. Ash. I’m coming. I’m coming. Ash. Yes. Don’t stop. Don’t stop. Don’t stop!”
She gripped onto his body tightly as he collapsed from his efforts. Her pussy pulsed so hard it pushed his cock from between her legs. Their juices dripped down onto his skin, coating his thighs as she trembled in his arms. He kissed her neck. Her shoulder. The shell of her ear. Anything his lips could touch.
Anything he could do to ride her through her pleasure.
Ash held her to him, their bodies both recuperating from the day’s adventure. His eyes closed as her head fell to the crook of his neck and he stroked through her hair. Languid, mindless movements that calmed her body and made him feel powerful. His eyes fluttered closed and his head fell back into the chair, taking in the feeling of her curves filling the divots of his strength.
Then, Kallie’s stomach growled against his.
“I think someone’s hungry,” Ash said.
She giggled as her stomach let out another roar.
“Very hungry,” he said.
“Stop it. It’s so embarrassing,” Kallie said.
“What? Being hungry? Come on. Let me go find the room service menu.”
His hands gripped her and hoisted her off his lap. He settled her down onto the couch before walking into the kitchen, feeling Kallie’s eyes on him. He wiggled his butt at her and she laughed, a beautiful sound that filled the whole of the villa.
Ash though her ex was a fucking maniac for letting her go.
“You know what we should do?” Ash asked.
“What?”
“We should order the biggest, most extravagant meal the kitchen has to offer. You know, since your ex is on the hook for the tab.”
Her laughter filled the villa again and pulled a grin across Ash’s lips.
“That actually doesn’t sound like a bad idea,” Kallie said as she came into the room.
She was wrapped in a blanket and her face was still ruthlessly flushed from
their activities.
“What do you recommend, island boy?” Kallie asked.
“I think we should start with two medium rare filet mignons topped with fresh island scallops.”
“Mmm, that sounds fantastic,” she said.
“Then, we can order a side of lobster tail as well as a decadent shrimp cocktail.”
“I like where you’re going with this.”
“An order of freshly steamed oysters with butter sauce, an exotic fruit salad, and then for dessert?”
“Me?” Kallie asked.
Ash’s eyes darkened and he already felt his cock throbbing back to life.
“Don’t tempt me,” he said.
“Who said I was tempting?” she asked.
Ash put the menu down and reached out for Kallie. He pulled her into his body before picking her up and swinging her around. He pressed his lips against hers and she giggled, and the sound shot electricity all the way to his toes. He held her to his body, feeling her legs wrapping around him as he held her closely.
“What were you thinking for dessert?” Kallie asked.
“The island makes its own version of the Golden Phoenix cupcake,” Ash said.
“What’s that?”
“The most expensive cupcake in the world.”
“Why is it so expensive?” she asked.
“Let’s order it and find out,” he said.
He put her down and kissed her forehead before he walked back into her bedroom. He picked up the phone and dialed room service, then glanced around to make sure Kallie wasn’t looking. He had no intention of charging any of the meal to her room. The last thing he wanted to do was get her into any trouble.
So he was going to charge the meal to his.
“Yes, room service? I’d like to place an order for dinner. Mhm. Villa number two, but don’t charge it there. Charge it to villa number one, please. Yes. Two filet mignons, medium rare, each with a lobster tail for a side, and your decadent vegetable medley. I’d also like a bottle of your finest white wine, chilled, along with an order of oysters with butter sauce, two shrimp cocktails, and two Golden Island cupcakes.”
