she
laughed.
“ So I’m keeping company
with a possible cupid?” Erik took her hand and laid a kiss on her
knuckles.
From the merest touch her pulse rate
kicked up.
“ I’m never going to get use
to this,” she moaned breathlessly.
“ Get use to
what?”
“ I can’t concentrate with
you this close.”
“ Tell me how you feel,” he
asked as he pushed her hair from her naked shoulder and he laid
gentle kisses along the curve.
Her eyes closed, biting her lips to
try and concentrate on his question. “I’m not all over and all I
can think about is you.”
“ That’s the way it’s
supposed to be.” He moved her hair back over her shoulder and
trailed kisses down her front.
“ We were supposed to be
getting to know each other.”
“ What better way than
making love is there of knowing the other person?” Closing her
eyes, Kelly gave herself over to his loving ministrations. Opening
her mind and body to his will.
He loved her with an efficiency she
wasn’t prepared for. The experience was mind blowing. In the rare
moments of peace and pleasure she could envision a life with this
man. He was indeed older than her but it didn’t stop the rioting
emotions coming to life in her chest.
Kelly didn’t know how Erik felt. She
could only guess but for now she would be happy to be in his arms.
All the pain and the questions of the future could wait until
later.
Chapter Six
As the weeks wore on, Kelly and Erik
got to know everything about each other. They talked and laughed
for hours with nothing to pass the time but each other. Together
hand in hand, they walked the island, trekking farther afield.
Anything to occupy their time besides making love, they
tried.
Trying to catch fish was an
experiment. After four weeks or so of eating nothing but coconuts,
Erik and Kelly were on the verge of going hungry. The smell and
taste made Kelly want to heave.
Erik managed to make a type of spear
from wood and then for about three hours both Kelly and Erik tried
to identify and capture edible fish.
On another expedition, they tried to
climb some of the higher trees to find a clearer view but every
time they reached the top all they would see was a horizon of clear
blue.
Soon the days wore on and with it came
a drop in temperature. The drop was minute but enough for them to
know harsher weather was round the corner.
Kelly didn’t know what to expect or
do. Every opportunity was met with danger. There was no possible
way of them getting off the island without a boat or a plane. With
the days coming to a close, the only thing she had to look forward
to was watching the sun set in his arms.
Something had to happen sooner or
later.
Chapter Seven
Kelly giggled and made a run for it.
Erik would catch her and they’d make love. This was fun. It kept
them active and their minds away from the doom and gloom of their
situation. Last night had been the first rainfall and with no
choice left, they’d had to go and find shelter farther into the
trees. The roaring winds had terrified her, and Erik’s larger body
surrounding her was the only comfort she had.
She wound around the far tree near
their new camp, sand under her feet. She spun back, watching as he
ran at her.
“ I’m coming to get you,” he
called.
Squealing, Kelly darted away from the
tree and ran back to the camp. Only a few feet separated her from
camp.
“ I’ve got you,” Erik
laughed as he caught her round the waist and lifted her up in the
air, spinning her around.
“ Stop, you’ve got me,” she
chuckled.
He let her on her feet and took her
lips in a searing kiss as her body moved closer to his. Both moaned
and Kelly gasped as Erik grabbed her bum and rubbed her nakedness
against his arousal.
“ I want you again,” he
moaned.
“ You make it sound like a
bad thing. Is being with me such a chore?” she teased rubbing her
breasts across his chest. Her pebbled nipples letting him know she
was as aroused as he was. He thumbed the
