We slept curled up in each other's arms until the birds in the jungle outside and the light that came in through the top of the cave woke us both up. As I watched Erica's sleepy eyes open and brighten when they saw me laying next to her, I knew that I would never get tired of seeing that sight. I knew that I would want to see her laying there next to me every morning for the rest of my life. She looked up at me and smiled then reached up and kissed my cheek. It was so perfect and sweet.
"I really feel like I need a shower or something," she said as she sat up and straightened out her clothes. "It's been a couple days, at least. Although, I have to admit the time change and the cataclysmic crash have thrown me off a bit," she said with a smile as she put on the fluffy pink slippers and walked to the entrance of the cave. "I wonder where Lainey and Brad are."
She walked out of the cave and put her hands over her mouth and started laughing so I got up and joined her to see what was going on.
"What are you two doing? You're both going to freeze to death!"
I looked where Erica was yelling and saw Brad and Lainey half naked in a waterfall that was coming off the rocks that formed part of the cave. The stream came down the rocks on the same wall where the small stream ran down inside the cave and created a small pool.
"The water isn't really that cold, Erica! Come on, you should try it. It feels really nice," Lainey yelled, then giggled as the pilot splashed her. Both of them were in their underwear and, Erica was right, it looked like they were getting along really well.
I was relieved to see that he was putting the moves on someone besides Erica. It was exhausting feeling like I was constantly in a fight with some guy I couldn't care less about when all I wanted was to do was focus all my attention on her.
"Well, I do need a shower of some kind. But I'll wait until you two are finished."
"I hope you're going to let me join you." I wrapped my hands around Erica's waist and relished the gasp that escaped from her lips as I pulled her close. "I'd love to watch the drops of water glisten as they run down your body."
I pulled her around the corner and back into the cave so that we had a little bit of privacy, then pushed her hair back as I lowered my lips to hers. I heard another soft moan escape from her throat as my lips trailed down to her neck. With every move I made she sank closer and closer to me until the entire length of her body was pressed against mine.
"Maybe we should go back to the plane ahead of them." The words came out in a whisper as my tongue circled her ear. "I'd really love to be alone with you for a while."
"Oh … I … I don't know … I really need to wash up a little," she stammered between breathy moans.
I had my lips firmly planted in the curve of her neck and she seemed to be having a hard time completing a full sentence. It was incredibly cute and unbelievably sexy.
"You're perfect, Erica. Everything about you is perfect. I want to make love to you," I said as I pressed her up against the cave wall. "And if we don't leave soon I'm afraid it's going to happen in front of your friends."
I pulled back from her with a huge grin on my face because honestly the thought of that guy walking in on the two of us almost made me giddy.
"Do you know how to get there?"
"We'll find it. I remember what Lainey said about the ravine. We'll just follow that and see where it leads us," I said grabbing her soft ass through the gap I had torn in the side of her skirt the day before. She giggled and slapped my arm but then became a little more serious.
"Okay, let's go then."
We grabbed some bottles of water and headed back outside the entrance of the cave.
"We're going to head back to the plane now," I yelled as I waived to Brad and Lainey who were now embraced in each other's arms under the water. Erica smiled up at me as the two of them jumped apart. They seemed a little embarrassed that they had been caught, but it seemed pretty obvious to me that they were headed down that path.
"Well … just hold up a minute and we'll join you," Brad said as he tried to conceal the hard cock that was threatening to poke through his boxers, but decided instead to jump behind Lainey for cover.
"No, don't bother. We'll be fine. We're just going to follow the ravine until we get to the plane. We'll see you over there."
"Are you sure you guys are gonna be okay? We'll be heading there in just a few minutes, Erica."
"I'll be fine, Lainey. You two take your time," she yelled, then looked at me with a big grin on her face.
I watched as Erica ran off ahead of me a little ways and I just couldn't get over how cute she looked in those fuzzy pink slippers as she made her way through the jungle. I couldn't help but think how perfect she would be to travel with. She already had experience with jet lag and packing light and she really seemed to be able to handle just about anything.
"You really are amazing, you know that?" I said as I caught up with her, my arms finding their way around her waist again.
"Maybe we should get to the plane first. If I'm lucky I'll find some soap so I can at least do a little bit of freshening up. Or my toothbrush! Now that would be fabulous!"
"You can do whatever you need to do, but I'm telling you, as far as I'm concerned you're perfect."
Chapter 11
Erica
As we made our way through the jungle I couldn't help but think about what Malcolm had told me. How he wanted to take kids on hiking tours and scuba diving explorations of places just like this.
I pictured him surrounded by a group of boys and girls that were all clamoring with questions and him taking his time to answer each one. He really did seem like an incredibly kind, and caring person once you looked past all the money and expensive clothes and airplanes.
I was touched by the way he made sure his sister had a special birthday and by the way he viewed his family responsibilities, even though they kept him from his own dreams.
I was almost swooning as I watched him forge ahead of me, holding branches back and helping me over fallen logs. And every time he touched my arm or back it sent waves coursing through my body. Not to mention the ache that pulsated inside me whenever my eyes met his.
"You're really good at this," I said to Malcolm after he picked me up and set me down on the other side of a fallen tree like I was as light as a feather. I suppose I shouldn't have been so surprised considering he had carried me over his shoulder for quite a ways back to the cave yesterday, but still, I wasn't a one-hundred-pound waif by any means.
After he set me on the ground he noticed that one of my slippers had fallen off of my foot and was on the ground in front of him. He bent down to pick it up, and as he stood he took my foot in his hand and slowly slipped it into the pink fur monstrosity. Then he ran his other hand up the back of my calf as his eyes wandered up my bare leg and then slowly made their way up the rest of my body.
"Good at what?" a big smile spreading across his face as his eyes finally reached mine. "I wish I had my phone on me so I could take a picture of you in those slippers. You are just about the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life. And those legs …" He stepped over the tree and wrapped his arms around me. "So, what is it I'm so good at? I'm all ears …"
Malcolm buried his face in my neck and held the back of my head so that I was trapped in his grasp. I tried to talk about how good he seemed at trekking through the jungle, but all that came out was a jumble of words that I wasn't sure made any sense at all. My body was turning to jelly as he kissed his way up my neck until his lips met mine.
"Oh god, you have no idea what you're doing to me, Erica," Malcolm said in between long, deep kisses.
I made a feeble attempt at reasoning with him, and with myself, but every part of my body was begging for his touch.
"We need to get to the plane. My toothbrush …"
"Forget your toothbrush …"
"But what if the others come?"
"Let them watch …"
"I want this just as badly as you do, Malcolm, but we really should get back
to the plane first."
Malcolm paused and pulled his head back just enough so that he could speak. His words were soft but forceful and were filled with an intensity that I wasn't expecting.
"You have no idea how badly I want you, Erica. You may think you know what's coming to you based on what's happened so far, but you have no idea. You're mine, Erica. I want to devour every inch of you until you can't move or speak. Until you are limp in my arms, exhausted from hours of pleasure. Until you've come more times that you can count. But I won't stop there."
He buried his tongue in my mouth as his lips pressed hungrily into mine then he stopped and held my head in his hands.
"I can be very patient, Erica. You're worth waiting for even takes a million years. But just remember that with every minute I have to wait, the intensity of my desire for you increases. You have no idea what I have planned for you."
His eyes burned down into mine and I couldn't breathe. I just stared up at him like a rabbit that was about to be devoured by a wolf and had nowhere to run. He was right. I had no idea what he had planned at all. I had never experienced a man who was so forceful and commanding. I had never been kissed or touched like this and I had never had a man look at me the way Malcolm did.
I had to admit, the intensity that was already coming off of him was almost scary. He was so filled with lust and animal-like need for me that it made my head swim. Hell, it made my whole body feel like it was buzzing and floating. I couldn't even tell if my feet were on the ground anymore.
"Ok," was all I could think to say as he continued to hover over me like I was his next meal.
I was finally able to breathe as he pulled away from me and started to walk ahead, but the fact that his eyes had still not left mine made my legs weak. I stumbled forward and Malcolm jumped back and caught me just before I fell forward on my face. Then when I looked back up I could have sworn he had a depraved grin on his face. I could tell he was really enjoying the effect he had on me.
"Do you think you can walk the rest of the way or should I carry you again?"
"No, that won't be necessary," I said as I attempted to pull myself together. I had to admit I was a bit embarrassed by the way I was reacting to him. I was well out of my teens and the thought of a man making me so ditzy from a look and a few well-chosen words made me feel like a silly schoolgirl.
He kept his hand on mine as he walked ahead of me and held a few branches for me to walk under, then after just a few more steps he stopped dead in his tracks.
"Well, it looks like we found the plane."
"Oh my God," I said as I gripped Malcolm's hand tighter. He put his arm around my shoulders and as we both stared at the massive wreckage in front of us. It was one thing to walk up to one of these huge machines on the tarmac while they were getting ready for take-off. But it was another thing altogether to see something so massive, cut in half and laying on the ground right in front of you.
"I can't believe we survived, Malcolm. We're all so incredibly lucky."
"Yeah, everyone except the co-pilot, I guess."
"Oh no. You're right I completely forgot about him. Lainey told me yesterday that she found him. That must have been so horrible."
We approached the plane and stared up into the gaping hole that led directly into the galley and the crew cabins. The landing gear wasn't down so the plane was level from front to back, but it was leaning to one side as one of the wings rested on the ground.
"Do you think it's safe to go up in there?"
"You stay here, I'll climb up and see how stable it is."
Malcolm pulled himself up onto some stray pieces of metal that were poking out of the fuselage until he was inside the plane, then disappeared down the short hallway for a moment. While he was gone I looked around the immediate area surrounding the plane and as I pulled some branches back I realized we were almost on the beach. I though I'd heard waves crashing but I had no idea the plane had wound up so close to this edge of the island.
When Malcolm returned to the gaping hole, he had my overnight back in one hand and a toothbrush in the other.
"This yours?" he asked with a smile.
"Yes! Thank God, I can get this horrible feeling out of my mouth."
"Well, that's all fine for you but my toothbrush is at the bottom of the ocean in the other half of the plane."
"You're more than welcome to use mine, Malcolm. I don't mind. So what's it like up there?"
"It's not too bad, but I don't know how comfortable it would be. Everything is tilted and piled with stuff that fell out of the overhead compartments. And there's a lot of broken glass on the floor."
"We could go out on the beach. I looked around a bit while you were back there and realized were on another rocky lagoon. We could go out and sit on the rocks."
Malcolm jumped down out of the plane and handed me my bag with another big smile on his face. "I hope we're going to do more than sit around."
"Well, I didn't imagine that we would just sit."
I felt my face grow hot as I took my bag out of his hands and found my toothbrush and toothpaste. I gave him a sly smile as I disappeared with the bottle of water I had brought back from the cave and when I returned I found Malcolm checking out the beach.
"Feeling better?" Malcolm asked. "Minty fresh and all that?"
"Yes, very," I said as I handed the toothbrush and toothpaste to him. "I won't be offended if you don't want to use it, but you're more than welcome."
"Why wouldn't I want to use it? It's just a toothbrush," he said, taking both items from my hand.
"Well, some people are weird about that kind of thing."
"Anything that was just in your perfect mouth is fine with me," he said as he grabbed the water bottle and headed off to find a bush of his own.
I took my slippers off and stuck them in my overnight bag and wandered out into the warm sun that beat down on the open beach. I left the bag on the sand and when Malcolm came out to join me he took off his shoes and left them next to my bag right at the tree line. We held hands as we made our way over to the rocks in our bare feet.
"This place really is spectacular," I said when we stopped to admire the crystal clear blue water of the lagoon. The waves came into gently and splashed our feet as they moved in and out of the semi-circle that had been created by the rocks and sand. But on the other side of the rock wall, the sound of the waves crashing down on the rocks was magnificent.
Malcolm unbuttoned his shirt and my eyes grazed the center of his exquisitely chiseled and defined bare chest. He pulled the shirt off, exposing his muscular arms and shoulders, then threw it onto the rocks behind me. I was almost hypnotized by the way the sun reflected off his warmly tanned skin as it glistened from the bits of sea spray that periodically rained down on both of us.
As he drew nearer to me I could feel the intensity in him grow. His eyes were almost completely black as they seared into mine, moving down my body, then back up as he grabbed both sides of my head with his hands and lowered his lips to mine.
Chapter 12
Malcolm
There was nothing that was going to stop me from making love to Erica up against the rocks on this beach. The rescue boat could pull up; twenty people could come running out of the jungle; an earthquake of massive proportions could hit; boiling hot lava could start running down the top of the mountain in the center of the island. All of these things could happen at once but none of them would stop me from what I was about to do to her.
Nothing could suppress the waves of passion that were emanating from me. Nothing could distract me from the woman who was standing in front of me, staring into my eyes and waiting for me to take her. Nothing on this planet could prevent what was about to happen between the two of us any longer.
I was almost shaking as I bent my head down to kiss her, the desire inside me was so fierce. As my lips met hers I pushed her back so that she was pinned against the rock behind her and I pressed my body into hers. I could hear and feel the moans that
were emanating from deep inside her as my hands moved down her back and slid up her waist to the place where her shirt was tied.
I pressed my forehead into hers as I untied the knot and unbuttoned her shirt then pulled the fabric down off of each shoulder, kissing the skin as it was being exposed.
"How do you manage to smell so incredible, Erica? I just can't get enough of you," I said as my lips made their way back up to hers. "Everything about you makes me crazy."
I felt like Erica had something I had been trying to capture all my life. Something I desperately wanted and needed but could never find. And now that I had her in front of me nothing would stop me. I had to have her.
"Oh God, Malcolm I want you. I want to feel you inside me."
That was all I needed. I was already way ahead of her but hearing those words doubled the force inside me. As I unhooked her bra and released her beautiful breasts, Erica trailed her soft lips down my neck and chest and unbuckled my belt. She gasped as she looked down at my incredibly hard cock as it sprang out my pants when she unzipped them.
I closed my eyes as the feeling on her fingers gently running up and down my length sent a shudder throughout my entire body. As I leaned in to kiss her again, the air around us filled with drops of ocean spray that landed on Erica's lips, giving them a delicious hint of salt as they melted into mine.
My hands kneaded the velvety softness of her breasts while she continued to caress my shaft with her delicate fingers. I pulled her skirt up and was surprised to find nothing between my hand and her soft pubic hair as my fingers found their way between her legs. But then I remembered what happened on the couch. I had pulled her panties off and tossed them on the floor of the airplane, and now they were at the bottom of the ocean too.
"Wrap your legs around me," I whispered into her ear as I gripped her bare ass and lifted her in the air. As soon as I felt those warm thighs circle my waist I slowly lowered her down onto my cock and pushed her against the rock wall. I watched her face as I entered her and almost came as a look of surprise turned to ecstasy and her eyes rolled back under her closing eyelids.
