“Call out something before we just go up to it Seth,” Denna suggested. I had to admit that just walking up to the door wasn't my first choice either. If someone had indeed made their home here, they would not be expecting two visitors and we would surely scare them to death by simply knocking on the door or just entering. So with as much confidence as I could muster I called out with a great deal of caution.
“Hello? Is there anyone at home?” It sounded so ridiculous it was laughable but neither Denna nor I found it amusing at the time, we waited nervously but nothing happened, there was no movement from inside and nothing to indicate that anyone was in the close vicinity.
We walked closer expecting the appearance of someone at any moment. The house rested on a rather well laid stone foundation and was built purely from timber; the windows had slatted shutters on them, all of them closed so we couldn't risk a peek inside. The door was also closed tight and the only way we were going to find out what was in there was to open it. I reached out and turned the wooden doorknob, it wasn't locked and as the door creaked open the sunlight poured into the darkened room. Both Denna and I peered into the single open room and we gasped at what we found. Clearly, no one was here nor had they been in quite a while judging from the layers of dust covering every surface. I expected to find a rough stone floor and maybe a cot or two. I did not expect to find the meticulously stained hardwood floors carefully laid over the stone foundations. The fully stocked kitchen, complete with a wood burning stove and what appeared to be a sink pump for running water, was also a delightful surprise. There was also a comfortable looking leather sofa and an enormous bed adjacent to a huge stone fireplace. The furniture was meticulously covered in protective plastic to keep the moisture out. Clearly, this was someone's beloved retreat and we needed only wait for their return for our rescue. At the moment, the thought of spending a few weeks or even months with Denna in our own little world sounded like heaven to me.
We made our way silently back to the beach. I think we were both flabbergasted by our good fortune and we only wanted to gather our things and make ourselves at home. It was possible we could be stuck here for quite some time, but at least we would be comfortable. I was confident between our various skill sets; we wouldn't starve, freeze or suffer from dehydration.
“I'm not sure how we managed such good luck, but I believe I'm going to take a bath,” Denna stated, stripping her tattered clothing off without the slightest hesitation at my presence. I watched her for a moment as she submerged herself downstream, away from the large pool that would be our source of drinking water. I finally managed to stop staring as it hit me how cold the water must be judging by the state of her outrageously hard nipples.
I jumped into action noticing the large pile of dry wood by the door; I set to work lighting a fire so she could warm up after her freezing cold bath. I quickly had a blazing fire crackling in the stone fireplace and I began searching our new home. I quickly stripped the plastic sheeting from the bed and turned the blankets down to air out. There was a closet near the bed and I found towels and several articles of clothing packed carefully in airtight bags as well as soap and shampoo I was sure Denna would be delighted with. I left two towels warming by the fire and headed out with the toiletries. I stripped my clothing off and submerged myself in the chilled water, careful to keep my distance from Denna. She flashed a huge grin as I motioned to the shampoo, soap and washrag I'd left for her on the stones surrounding the pool where she bathed. She stood, the water dripping from her glorious body as she marched through the shallow water to gather the precious commodities and came over to my side. She was breathtaking and although I was determined not to push her-- dammit I couldn't not watch her every move as she lowered her body beside me. We bathed silently, washing the grime and salt from our bodies and I enjoyed her look of utter delight as she washed her hair.
"Come, I've got towels warming for us," I said gently as I reached for her hand. She was shivering violently from the cold and I wasn't too keen on letting her see the adverse affects of the cold water on my body when it had such alluring affects on hers, but she needed to get warm.
We ran quickly across the grass and were greeted with a pleasant burst of heat when we entered the little house. I wrapped her carefully in the towel and used the one I'd reserved for myself to dry her arms and hair. She giggled at the attention I showered on her and took the towel from my hands to wrap it around my hips, taking her towel and returning the favor by drying my arms and chest. "You take such good care of me Seth," she said with a gentle smile.
"Well now I don't know if I agree with that." I frowned. "Since you've met me nothing but bad shit has happened."
"And you've shielded me from it as much as you possibly could," she said as a loud pop and hiss issued from the fireplace. Hot embers burst out around us and I used my towel to tamp them all out. I didn't want her to get burned on top of everything else she'd been through. I felt a searing hot pain lash across my forehead as a large ember shot into my face causing me to stumble back into Denna. Following her initial surprise, I noticed that she had a look of concern on her face.
“What's wrong?” I asked.
“You've burned yourself,” she raised her hand and touched where the ember had landed just below my eye. It wasn't too painful but as her finger brushed my skin it was the charge of electricity and feverish tickle I felt that caused me more sensation. Denna blew a cooling breath across the burn and we looked at one another; and it just happened. She stepped into the circle of my arms and we were kissing.
Both of us had forgotten about my eye as we enjoyed the feel of each other. Soft, gentle exploring kisses soon turned into heated and passionate embracing. I really hadn't doubted that this would happen but I wanted to give her every opportunity to stop it before it went too far. "I'm not a delicate flower Seth," she rasped as our kisses became more urgent and demanding. "I want this…stop hesitating-- if you think I'm scared-- I'm not," she managed between unsteady breaths but I knew she was petrified, not of me but of herself and the fact that this was probably the first time she'd ever wanted sex.
As I felt Denna's fingers running through my hair it made the hairs on the back of my neck prickle in anticipation, tingling with provocative sensations. I reveled in the exquisite pleasure such a simple act gave me. A thousand questions were racing through my mind not the least of which was, 'were we going too fast?' Denna didn't seem to want to slow down and I was suddenly aware of the fact that she had never known anything of making love. There was a definite urgency about the way we were reacting to each other but I had to know she was ready for this. I didn't want her doing this if it wasn't what she wanted. Somehow, I thought she might be trying to thank me for saving her from Jack and I didn't want that.
I paused and took her face in my hands. “Are you sure about this?”
Denna smiled. “Trust me, I've never been happier.”
I was blown away by her choice of words. I was so cautious with her since her revelation of the abuse she'd suffered in the past and if she trusted me enough to bring her pleasure then that was what I was going to do. I picked her up and carried her to the bed where I nestled her carefully among the pillows still smelling faintly of dryer sheets. She pushed up on her elbows and as she adjusted her position on the bed, her perky, perfect breasts bounced and I felt myself growing harder as I climbed up beside her.
Denna attempted to take hold of the reins as she kissed me feverishly, her body arching into mine as I felt the brush of her hard nipples against my chest. I couldn't help myself, I reached out and cupped her breast and I heard her moan softly. Her nipple almost throbbed as I pinched it between my fingers, her back arched in pleasure. She was so receptive to my touch, but she was still moving way too fast. I had to slow this down if I was going to proceed with my plan.
I pressed her into the mattress and covered her with my body, driving our passionate kiss to a much slower pace taking the time to enjoy the taste of her mouth and the scent
of her skin fresh from our bath. She whimpered in frustration as I kept our movements slow and measured, my hands grazing along the length of her smooth body, stopping to cup her full breasts, stroking her nipples in time to our kiss.
I kissed every inch of her body from the lids of her eyes to the tips of her toes and back again, never touching her clit. I wanted to show her what it meant to make love by worshiping her body with my lips and my hands, never expecting anything from her beyond her participation in our combined pleasure. When I kissed and explored her body, I let her reciprocate, but I didn't allow her to touch my cock. One touch and I wouldn't be able to hold out any longer. I wanted to be inside her so desperately, but I was determined to show her there was more to love than furious fucking. We'd get to that later, right now I wanted to prove to her that she could trust me.
"Seth, what are you doing to me?" She whimpered, her eyes glazed with passion as I kissed and suckled her breasts. As she threw her head back, I observed her defined collarbone and the smooth skin of her throat, flushed a dusky rose from my kisses.
She was a beautiful woman on any given day, but in the heat of passion, she was breathtaking. I couldn't take it anymore, I wanted to watch her come. She was already so close I knew it wouldn't take much to tip her over the edge. I slid my palm from her breast down to her flat stomach, slipping down between her legs where she was waxed bare, just as she'd been in my dream. She was slippery wet and writhing beneath me as my fingers found her opening where I teased and tormented her, swirling my fingertips around her clit without touching her most sensitive area before I returned to slip first one and then a second finger inside her. I stroked her to a quick hard release and watched the pleasure play across her face as she closed her eyes and absorbed the pleasure I gave her.
I covered her with my body again as she continued to tremble from her orgasm. I kissed and explored the contours of her face as I stroked her nipples, palming her breasts, driving her desire for me again. When she was writhing beneath me, I nested between her soaking wet thighs and she wrapped her legs around my hips, pulling me closer, begging me to plunge inside her.
We were moving too fast again and I had to take several deep breaths to keep from taking her fast and hard like I wanted to. Right now, all I wanted was to be buried deep inside her. I had visions of her on all fours with me taking her from behind, but I reminded myself I was here for her tonight. My pleasure was secondary to hers and I had to get control of my own desire before I could go any further. I kissed her slowly and passionately and she moaned in frustration as she realized I wasn't going to let the pace move any faster.
"Be patient baby, we'll get there," I murmured as I kissed her, allowing her hands to explore my body. Denna's eyes grew large as she flashed a very wicked smile when I let her have her way. She pushed me back into the mattress and let her hands explore the rigid muscles of my hard flat stomach. Her hand immediately closed over the length of my cock, stroking it slowly, almost as if she were measuring its size. As her fingers wrapped around me my cock lengthened, jumping to attention with an excited leap, I had no control of this whatsoever, my erection was responding independently to her ardent touch.
Denna moved herself slowly down my body and bent down, her mouth was now inches away from my erection, and bending further, I could feel her hot breath washing across my sensitive skin. This was probably one of the most erotic moments I'd ever experienced during sex. I watched, mesmerized as her tongue emerged and she slowly licked over me; from the base of my shaft to the rounded tip where she lingered and gently grazed her teeth over the very tip of me before sucking me deep into the depths of her throat in one swift movement. I almost exploded right there in her sweet warm mouth. I had to fight back as she released me with a satisfied gleam in her eye. She came to rest on my chest, her hard nipples grazing against mine as we were skin on skin and I couldn't resist the deep sigh of satisfaction that escaped from my lips. I needed to be inside her, I ached for her in a way I hadn't for any other woman since Amber.
Leaning forward she kissed me and I felt the tips of her nipples on my chest again, then she lifted her bottom slightly and shifted so the tip of my hardness was resting at the entrance of what I can only describe as a warm, wet welcome. She was dripping with need, and my erection throbbed painfully as I entered her. I grabbed her hips and thrust upward as Denna pushed herself against me and we joined together passionately, holding onto each other. I felt her muscles tighten around me as she settled onto me. The whole of Denna's body tensed, a throaty murmur later and she began to move up and down along the length of me with exquisite slowness. I couldn't take the torture any longer. I rolled Denna onto her back, wrapping her legs around my hips as we were still joined, and I stilled as I realized we didn't have protection. It had been quite a while since I'd had to worry about such things and I was cursing my stupidity as I pulled almost all the way back out.
"Fuck!" I cursed irritably.
"What's wrong Seth?" she asked fearfully, searching my face for clues. I rested my head against her forehead and groaned my frustration. "We don't have condoms baby," I rasped, having a difficult time restraining myself from plunging away at her anyway.
"I'm on the shot-- you know…just in case," she whispered with a smile. "We should be good for a while."
"Oh thank God," I moaned as I sank slowly back into her, trying not to think about the fact that she was on birth control because she anticipated rape as part of her life.
“Oh my God Seth!” Denna cried with a loud moan as I pulled back slowly, only to sink back into her with equal slowness. She kept her eyes closed tightly from what I could only assume was habit from her painful past and I wanted to bring an end to that immediately.
"Look into my eyes when I make love to you Denna," I said softly as I sank into her again. I lifted her slightly, resting on my elbows so I could hold her and watch her as we moved together, loving each other after the terrible things we'd experienced over last several days. She pulled me closer, wrapping her legs tightly around me and we moved together as if we'd been loving each other all our adult lives. Her hands caressed my back, sliding down to cup my ass as I drove into her, my pace quickening as I neared my release. I knew she was close and our eyes were locked on each other as we climaxed together in one powerful moment. I'd never felt so out of my depth as I did right then, but it was a feeling I never wanted to forget.
CHAPTER SIX -- NOT SO ALONE
Our first night together on our island paradise was certainly a memorable one. After a night of passionate lovemaking we lay in each other's arms talking into the wee hours of the morning. I got up on occasion to throw another log onto the fire and we raided our rations for a sumptuous meal of fish and rehydrated rice and vegetables. It seemed so easy, falling into the close intimacy we shared so easily in this safe haven we’d stumbled upon. The outside world would find us eventually, but for now, I only wanted to live in the moment. We were open and willing to share with each other and that was not something easily found. All of the questions and reservations I had prior to ending up here seemed unimportant and trivial now. I had been over thinking everything and now that we had fallen into this comfortable existence, waking up next to Denna to a peaceful morning was the only thing on my mind.
I woke first and frowned at the distance between us. Denna had rolled as far away from me as she could get sometime in the night and she seemed to be having a bad dream at the moment. I eased over to her side and attempted to pull her into my arms but she flailed in a total panic and I paid for my mistake with a hard punch right in my eye.
“Owe, dammit! Denna, baby stop,” I said as gently as I could manage when I really felt like growling at her.
“Seth? Oh my God, I’m so sorry!” she cried scrambling to her knees on the bed in her hurry to come to my aid. I couldn’t help but smile at the lovely picture she made.
“I’m fine baby.” I chuckled softly as she was too busy fussing over my injured eye to notice she was treating my oth
er eye to a lovely face full of her bouncing breasts. “I should have known better. You seemed to be having a nightmare and I just wanted to comfort you.”
“I’m so sorry.” She sighed in frustration as she climbed into my lap, wrapping her arms around me. “You just gave me the most amazing, tender night of my life and I pay you back with brutality.” She frowned.
“Amazing? Really?” I grinned, feeling quite proud of myself for giving her what she so desperately needed.
“I never knew it could be like that,” she said in wonder.
“We are just getting started.” I grinned, knowing she could feel my erection growing harder against her hip. We came together so naturally as she straddled me and I slipped inside her, feeling her slick heat throbbing around me. We sat on the bed with her arms and legs wrapped around me as she rode me, her lovely tits bouncing in my face as I kept a firm grip on her hips, grinding into her as I felt my release coming fast and hard. I reached to stroke her clit to make sure she came with me and I saw her eyes glaze in wonder at my concern for her pleasure. It would take some time, but I was determined to undo all the damage that had been done to her in the past. For as long as it would take, her needs would come before my own.
