He pinched at her nipples as she gasped, and then one muscular hand trailed down, sliding over her flat stomach and edging inside her bikini bottoms.
She was dripping with arousal, already wet for him. Able fingers deftly parted her folds, and he slid his fingers up, expertly circling her clit and spreading her arousal around as she gasped. He gripped one breast in his other hand, curling his larger body around hers as he began to pleasure her.
She grabbed onto the rocks in front of her, crying out Noah’s name as he brought her nearly to the edge of her release.
“You’re so wet and ready for me, sunshine. God how I wish I had a condom.”
“I’m on birth control,” she panted. “Not pills—it’s an IUD. And I’m clean.”
Noah grunted, bucking against her. “I’m clean, sunshine. The Navy just tested me. You want to ride me bareback?”
“God, yes. Noah, please!” she cried out as he teased her clit more with his thick fingers. He tugged her bikini bottoms down to her ankles and bent her over the rocks, wrapping both arms around her hips and breasts to take the brunt of the friction. She cried out helplessly as she felt the tip of his erection rubbing against her swollen sex.
She was so close, so desperate for him—every moment he stalled and teased her felt like an eternity.
He prodded against her clit with his cock, growling with approval as she moaned.
“You’re mine, Bailey. You have been from the moment I first saw you.”
A moment later she cried out in pure pleasure as he speared her with his thick length, sinking in balls deep as he took her from behind. His thick erection stretched her inner walls, and she could do nothing but gasp at his intimate invasion.
“You okay, sunshine?” he asked, holding still as she adjusted to his size.
“God, you’re big—feels so good,” she murmured, practically delirious with pleasure.
He slid out a few inches and then slowly penetrated her again, the exquisite pressure of his cock inside her pussy nearly too much to bear.
“Noah—faster. Harder!”
He growled behind her, tightening his arms, and then began to fuck her from behind. He was so deep in this position, she thought he was going to split her right in half. Nothing else existed in the entire world. No one. Just Noah.
“God, you’re so tight,” he ground out, setting a steady pace as he took her.
“Oh God, oh God, oh God!” she yelled as he began to buck into her faster.
“Come for me, Bailey. Come on my cock. I want to hear you screaming my name.”
He adjusted his grip on her hips, sliding his hand to where their sexes joined, and as his thick fingers rubbed over her clit, she screamed, exploding in the most intense orgasm of her entire life. Waves of pleasure roared over her, and she couldn’t move, couldn’t even think as he drew every last ounce of pleasure out of her.
Her inner walls gripped his cock so tightly, she was shocked he was even still moving. He hardened impossibly more, and then Noah stilled as he released inside of her, his sticky come spurting all over her inner walls.
Noah eased them back from the rocks and turned, so that she was almost sitting on his lap as he sank to the ground, still buried balls deep in her pussy.
“You’re getting hard again,” she gasped in surprise.
His arms wrapped around her, holding her to him. “That was the best sex I’ve ever had,” he said, caressing her breast with one hand while his other lightly rubbed her clit. “I was so hard I couldn’t hold back. But now I’m going to make love to you, sunshine,” he said, slowly bucking into her again. “I’m going to hold you close and go slowly. Make you feel every inch of me. And then I’ll take you again on the ground, where I can feel your beautiful body beneath mine.”
“Oh God, Noah,” she said, looking down and watching his thick erection slide in and out of her. He was so hot and hard, he consumed her.
“You’re mine, sunshine.”
She lifted her arms up, wrapping them around his neck as he held her, her back to his chest. She was half-seated on his lap, and she twisted her head to kiss him, letting him take control of their lovemaking. He slowly moved in and out of her, letting her feel every inch of his male hardness and perfection.
She moaned at the intensity, unable to give in to anything but the feeling of Noah’s cock buried deep inside her. Of him commanding her body. Her soul.
His thick fingers circled her clit, his other hand toying with and pinching her nipple.
Sparks of desire began to shoot through her again, and as he moved faster, she ground herself down on his erection and came, screaming out his name once more.
Chapter 14
Noah prowled over Bailey as she lay stretched out on the sandy ground beside the pond, his hands running up and down her beautiful body. He’d fucked her beneath the waterfall and then taken her more slowly as he held her.
But this?
This time he planned to thoroughly examine her entire body, exploring all of her gorgeous curves. Tasting and teasing every part of her.
“Come closer,” she murmured, reaching for him.
“Not until I kiss you all over,” he said huskily, kissing his way down her collarbone, toward her full, beautiful breasts.
“Promise me things won’t be weird between us when we get back to Virginia Beach,” Bailey said, sighing in contentment.
“Weird? Why would they get weird?” He paused, glancing up to see her flushed face. The freckles that had spread across her cheeks looked even darker today, but it gave her a girlish innocence. Which was probably why she hated them. Her eyebrow ring gleamed in the sunlight as she turned toward him.
“Like if we’re both going to be in the same place, don’t bring another girl around or something. I just can’t see that after this. After us.”
Noah chuckled. “Why would I bring another woman around if you’re there?”
“Noah,” she said, rolling her eyes in exasperation.
“Bailey.”
“Look, I know how some of the guys on the team are,” she said. “Taylor told me herself that you’re never with the same woman twice. Heck, Mason was like that, too, before he and Taylor finally got together.”
Noah pinned her with a gaze. “Look, I’m not a saint. But why the hell would I bring another woman around if you were there?”
“I’m just saying—don’t. For both our sakes.”
Noah narrowed his gaze, searching her face. “We just had the most incredible sex of my entire life, and you seem to think I’d want to sleep with another woman?” He laughed, and she swatted at him. “I’m literally about to kiss your entire body from head to toe, and then make you come a couple more times.”
“I’m not saying you’d want to—just that things happen. People drift apart. Maybe we go back and hook up a few times—finish out this fling or whatever it is. We have some of the same friends—I just don’t want things to be awkward.”
Noah smirked. “You’re crazy if you think you’re getting rid of me that quickly. This, between us? This chemistry? It doesn’t just happen. I’ve never felt this way about someone before.”
“I know chemistry like this doesn’t just happen—I just. I was just trying to give you an out.”
He raised his eyebrows. “And if I don’t want an out? If I just want to be with you?”
Bailey looked up at him, stunned.
“Yeah, sunshine, I’m attracted as hell to you. I like to flirt with you and sleep with you in my arms. Take crazy fishing trips with you. But what just happened between us back there?” He cocked his head toward the waterfall, watching her eyes track his movement. “Stuff like that doesn’t just happen.”
“I’m scared,” she admitted.
He ducked lower and kissed her forehead, brushing his lips over her eyelids as they slid shut. “I won’t hurt you, sunshine.” His cock hardened as his body rubbed against hers, and then he was moving over her. Parting her thighs. “I’ll never hurt you.”
Ducking down, he kissed her, listening to her soft moans of pleasure. He lined his erection up with her core, and then he was sinking into her again. Her legs wrapped around his waist, holding him to her, and he pinned her hands up and over her head.
Their fingers twined together, and she gripped his hands tightly as he slowly pulled out and pushed back into her wet heat.
“Noah,” she whispered, gasping.
“I’ve got you, sunshine.”
Her pussy clamped down around his cock, and he knew he’d never felt anything better in his entire life. His eyes locked with hers, and he held her gaze as he made love to her, slowly pulling out and inching back inside.
She whimpered and writhed beneath him, and when he felt his balls begin to tighten, he began pumping faster. Harder. Bailey gasped as the base of his erection rubbed against her sensitive clit, and he ground himself against her, growling in approval.
“God, Noah!” she cried out.
He captured her cries with his mouth, and then he made her his, thrusting into her faster and faster until she was clenching around him, shuddering with her release. He stiffened and came inside her tight channel, his hot seed spurting forth.
She opened her eyes as she came back to reality, panting for breath, and he kissed her again, deeply.
“I kind of hope they don’t find us today,” she admitted a minute later.
“Me either, sunshine. Me either.”
Chapter 15
Bailey felt her skin heat as she watched Noah standing in the shallow waves later that afternoon. After a morning of making love, she was deliciously sore. Sated. Not to mention starving. What she wouldn’t give for room service right now.
Not that deserted islands exactly offered that option.
She watched Noah dive into the waves, getting soaked, but he stood up without any fish. Her gaze tracked to the fire he’d lit up at the top of the beach. The driftwood had finally dried out enough to catch fire, and when he’d struck a match and she’d seen the flames and smoke rise, she had a feeling their rescuers would find them today after all.
Noah splashed around some more, diving into the water, and then he finally jumped up, triumphantly holding a fish between his hands. He whooped and hollered, jogging through the incoming waves to head up the beach to her.
“My hero!” she teased, smiling as he grinned from ear to ear.
He chuckled. “I rescue you from the ocean, hold you all night long, make love to you for hours—and this is what makes me your hero?”
“Amongst other things,” she teased.
The sound of chop-chop-chop-chop suddenly filled the air, and Noah and Bailey both turned to the water in surprise.
“It’s a helicopter!” Bailey shouted, clapping her hands and jumping up and down. “They found us! They found us!”
Noah whooped and hollered, dropping the fish he’d just caught onto the sand as he waved his arms back and forth in the air. “Hello!” he bellowed. “Over here!”
Bailey ran over to the emergency blanket they’d weighed down, grabbing it and waving it around. The helicopter headed straight for them, and as it got closer, she could see the orange paint of the helicopter with the words “Coast Guard” written in bold, black letters.
Noah grabbed her hand roughly in his, and they waved together, watching as the helicopter circled around above them.
“Can they land here?” Bailey asked, growing worried. “I don’t think there’s enough room on the beach.”
“Not in high tide,” Noah said. “They’ll probably have to lower a basket to us. Or the rescue swimmer might be lowered down, and we’ll strap you to him.”
She gulped nervously, squeezing his hand tighter. “Are you okay, sunshine?” he asked, glancing down at her.
“Yeah, I just—I’ve never been in a helicopter before.”
“It’s perfectly safe,” he assured her. He lifted her hand to his mouth, briefly kissing the back of it as her heart fluttered. “I’ll strap you into the basket, signal them, and they’ll raise you right up.”
They saw two men peer out of the opening of the helicopter. “That’s the flight mechanic and rescue swimmer. It looks like he’s coming to us,” Noah said. He grabbed his backpack from the ground, glancing around to see if they’d gotten their few belongings.
It was kind of strange after making this their temporary home for the past twenty-four hours to just be up and leaving like this. It was an abrupt ending to their entire adventure. Bailey’s mouth dropped open as one of the men was lowered from the hovering helicopter. Noah shook his hand when the man reached the ground, shouting above the noise.
“Up you go, sunshine,” he said, helping to strap her to the Coast Guard lieutenant. Bailey nervously glanced at Noah, and then the man signaled to the guys in the helicopter, and she was being lifted into the air.
She gasped as the ground fell away beneath her, Noah and the island becoming smaller and smaller as they rose high up in the air.
Just as she was beginning to feel dizzy, a pair of hands was tugging her inside the hovering helicopter, unfastening her harness from the rescue swimmer. The lieutenant who’d rescued her unstrapped himself as well, and they lowered the empty harness down to Noah.
Bailey crouched down on the far side of the helicopter, wrapping her arms around her knees. They handed her a pair of headphones, and she tugged them over her ears. “Are you okay, ma’am?” the rescuer asked as he knelt beside her.
“I’m fine—just a little shaken up.”
“No injuries?” he asked, glancing over her with a clinical, assessing expression.
“None. I’m fine.”
In a few moments, Noah would be up here with her, and everything would be okay again. The flight mechanic hovering by the opening reached out, and a second later Noah was climbing in, a grin on his handsome face.
He probably loved that, she thought wryly. Hadn’t he bragged that he loved jumping out of airplanes?
Noah unhooked himself from the complicated-looking harness, shaking hands with the two men. He nodded at the pilot and took the headphones handed to him, crossing the helicopter and crouching down beside her. He took off his backpack and pulled her to him, enveloping her in his muscular arms.
“We did it, sunshine,” he said, kissing the top of her head. “We’re going home.”
She sniffled, her emotions overwhelming her. All the adrenaline from the rescue and the anxiety she’d felt earlier were coming to head, and a few tears rolled down her cheeks. Noah hugged her more tightly to him, hauling her into his lap as the other men shut the door, and the helicopter turned, heading back toward land.
Noah’s large hand rubbed her back, and she shuddered in his arms, crying. As her tears finally slowed, she inhaled his scent and warmth, finally beginning to relax in his strong arms.
She was emotionally drained and exhausted, and at the moment, she wanted a long, hot bath. And her own bed.
Neither was possible right now. They’d probably want them to go to the hospital or something to get checked over. And their flight back to Virginia wasn’t until tomorrow. Briefly, she wondered if Noah would stay in her room tonight, or if they’d go back to their separate beds.
A few minutes later, they were landing on a helipad, the helicopter rotors slowing as it came to a complete stop. She took off her headphones, letting Noah help her stand. The Coast Guard officers introduced themselves, and she shook hands with them, sticking close to Noah’s side.
She climbed down out of the helicopter and heard Taylor shouting her name.
A moment later, Taylor and Mason were both rushing toward them. Her best friend threw her arms around her and squeezed her tightly. “Oh my God—we were so worried!”
Taylor said. “I can’t believe they found you! Are you guys okay?”
“Fine,” Bailey said, swiping at her tears. “Just shaken up a little.”
“We looked for you in the water after Noah dove in after you. The storm was just so bad, we couldn’t see anything. And then even when it blew over, we couldn’t find you.”
“Viper,” Mason said, shaking Noah’s hand and pulling him into a one-armed hug. “We rode out the storm and then couldn’t get back to shore. The engine up and died on us and the radio was bad. We couldn’t even radio for help.”
“How’d you get back?” Bailey asked.
“My buddy notified the Coast Guard. They sent a boat out and found us last night—towed us back in. It was too late to do much of a search for you two then. They did check the immediate surrounding area, but hell. You guys were a couple of miles away.”
“A couple of miles?” Bailey asked in surprise. “How’d we get so far?”
“The ocean current,” Noah said. “It was strong in the storm and carried us away from the boat. We were lucky as hell to end up near one of the islands.”
“And you found your gear?” Mason asked, nodding at his backpack.
“It must’ve gotten swept right along with us,” Noah said. “Bailey spotted it in the water.”
“We’ve been so worried about you,” Taylor said, her eyes watering. “The Coast Guard has been searching all day. Mason even went out there with them earlier. They wouldn’t let him join the helicopter search though.”
The Coast Guard Lieutenant walked over, greeting them. “We spotted the smoke from the bonfire from a couple of miles away. As soon as we went to investigate it, we hoped it would be you.”
“We tried lighting one yesterday, but the rain started up again. Then this morning we had to wait for everything to dry out before we could relight it,” Noah said.
“Can we go home?” Bailey asked, looking up at Noah.
“There’s an ambulance waiting over there,” the Coast Guard Lieutenant said. “They can check your vitals, and if you don’t want to be treated at the hospital, you’ll have to sign a waiver for your release.”
