Not that I wanted him to save me. I still wasn’t sure how I felt about him. There was something in his blue eyes that reminded me of the ocean—seemingly so open yet so deep and dark that it couldn’t be trusted. That didn’t mean that I wasn’t attracted to him. How could I not be? He was gorgeous. There was something so primal and raw about him, though I suppose that came from being on a deserted island. I started laughing then. I was surely going crazy. I’d been close to tears just a few moments ago, and now all I could think about were Jakob’s muscles.
“Bianca!” He shouted my name as if he knew I was thinking of him.
“Yes?” I answered, glad to be away from my thoughts.
“Where are you?” he called, his voice sounding closer.
“I’m at the shoreline!” I shouted back, staring once again at the ocean.
“What do you think you’re doing?” he ran toward me and then hissed, annoyed. “You can’t just disappear like that.” He slowed his pace as he walked up to me, and I could see the displeasure in his stern face.
“We’re on a deserted island.” I rolled my eyes. “I wouldn’t worry so much.”
“We don’t really know where we are.” He grabbed my hand roughly and pulled me toward him. “Steve came out of nowhere; we don’t really know if anyone else is here with us. We need to be careful.” His fingers dug into my skin and I glared up at his face. I could see that his stubble was thicker today. Without thinking, I reached up and ran my fingers across his jawbone. His hair was prickly beneath my fingers, and he stilled as I touched him. He released his hold on my other hand, and I reached my other fingers up to touch his lips. I gasped as he opened his mouth slightly and sucked my finger in like a vacuum. He bit down on my finger and then nibbled it gently, his eyes never leaving mine. My other hand moved from his jawline up to his hair. I pulled my finger out of his mouth slowly, and he grabbed my head and tilted it up to him.
“Taste me,” he grunted, and I looked up at him with a perplexed expression. Then he nodded toward my finger. I looked down and suddenly understood his comment. I reached the finger that had been in his mouth up to mine and slowly parted my lips and sucked on it. We stood there staring at each other as I sucked on my finger slowly and intently. I was mesmerized by the look of lust in his blue eyes. I took a step back from him, hoping that a little distance would stop my legs from trembling and my heart from beating so quickly. After a few seconds, I removed my finger from my mouth and then licked my lips slowly.
“The tide’s coming in. You could have gotten stuck.” He finally spoke and grabbed my arm again and pulled me toward him. “And I have no idea where Steve is. I was worried about you. Don’t just disappear like that again. Are you stupid?”
“Let go of me.” I looked up at him, annoyed, and tried to ignore the burn on my skin where he had touched me. “I’m not a little kid.”
“You could have fooled me.” He stared at me lips. “I ought to kiss you and show you that you can’t go around just doing what you want.”
“Did you come to harass me?” I sighed and crossed my arms. His eyes fell to my chest and lingered there, and I could feel my insides burning up at his stare. “I woke up, and you weren’t there. I thought we were going to get up early so we could explore before Steve woke up. But I woke up, and both you and Steve were gone.” I gave him an accusing look. “So I decided to take a walk.”
“You should have waited for me.” He crossed his arms. “What if something had happened?”
“What’s going to happen?” I rolled my eyes. “At least we know where the rocks are.” I shivered as I stared at the sharp treacherous rocks as the waves crashed into them. The water definitely was not as calm down here.
“For the record, when I woke up, you were still asleep. I didn’t want to wake you, because you looked peaceful.” He sighed and his eyes narrowed. “And Steve was already gone when I woke up.”
“What?” I frowned. “Gone where?”
“I don’t know.” He shook his head and reached out to me. “I looked for him in the jungle, but I didn’t see him.”
“How could he just disappear?” I shivered.
“Like I said before, he seems to know his way around quite well.” He grabbed my hand and squeezed. “That’s why I’ve been telling you to stay close to me.”
“You’re the one that left me this morning.” I was indignant at his authoritative tone. “It’s not like we’re in the Twilight Zone; nothing’s going to happen. Like you said before, monsters aren’t coming and I’m sure the Last Mimzy isn’t coming either.”
“Stranger things have happened.” He looked away from me, and I gasped as I saw a cut on the side of his face, right next to his ear. There was a large bloody gash that looked like it was quite deep.
“Are you okay?” I frowned as I stared at the dried blood on his face. My fingers gingerly reached up to his face. “You’re cut.”
“I’m fine.” He stepped away from me and ran his hands through his hair. I looked at his hands carefully. They looked dirty and bruised. I shivered as I remembered his fingers touching me the night before.
“What have you been doing?” I questioned him, not wanting to think about what had happened the previous evening. “Why do you have a cut on your face? Why are your hands bruised?” I whispered. My brain was screaming the question I was too scared to ask: Did Steve really just go on a long walk by himself or did you do something to him?
“I was in the jungle, looking for branches. I thought you’d like to have proper shelter tonight.” He shrugged and walked away. “Apparently I was wrong.”
“Don’t tell me—you found a Marriott?” I attempted a joke to diffuse the tension in the air, but he gave me a derisive look that made me shut up.
“If it rains tonight, we’re going to get soaked.” He spoke matter-of-factly, and I stared at him silently. “I thought we could create a makeshift rooftop for shelter with some palm and coconut branches that are lying on the ground.”
“Where?” I looked over to the bushes and shivered. There was something about the jungle behind us that scared me.
“We can set it up in the sand.”
“How?” I frowned, not really seeing how that would be possible.
“Come with me and I’ll show you.” Jakob started walking away from me.
I couldn’t stop staring at his strong, muscular legs. They were so tan and hairy. The white of his boxer shorts complemented his skin tone, and I swallowed hard as I stared at his butt. It looked firm, and I wondered if it was as tan as his legs. Or maybe it was pasty white like a baby’s bottom. The thought made me giggle, and Jakob turned around and gave me a glance. He raised an eyebrow as if to say Come on, and I laughed even louder. It was hard for me to take him seriously as an autocrat when all I could think about was the whiteness of his ass.
“What are you laughing about, Bianca?” He didn’t look amused, and I tried not to roll my eyes. He seriously was the most annoying man I’d ever met. He just did not seem to have a sense of humor.
“Do you really want to know?”
I gave him a quick smile, and he paused for a second. I saw a flash of something pass through his eyes as he stared at me. He looked unsure of himself for one split second, and then he frowned. I could feel that I was starting to lose it. Part of me was scared to death and the other part of me couldn’t stop thinking about how sexy he was.
“What I want to do is get this shelter ready.”
“I’m coming.” I sighed and ran to catch up to him. “I was going to try to wash the sand off my body.” I mumbled as I caught up with him.
“Oh.” He looked at me, and there was a gleam in his eye. “I suppose you have sand in all sorts of cracks and crevices.”
“I’m not an old house, Jakob, but yes, I do.”
“So do I.” He grinned. “And yes, it’s a bit uncomfortable. If you want, we can go in the ocean and clean ourselves off before heading into the jungle.”
“I suppose.” I frowned
. It sounded like a good idea, but I knew that I had to go completely naked to get the sand out of everywhere.
“What’s wrong now?”
“I was just thinking that it’s going to be hard to get the sand out everywhere.” I shrugged and looked away from him. I didn’t want him to see me blushing, though, I supposed it could be mistaken for sunburn.
“That’s not a problem.” He grinned and ran back to the ocean. “Just take your clothes off.” I watched as he ran and pulled off his briefs. My breath caught as I stared at the creamy-white paleness of his taut bottom. I laughed at the contrast it made against his deep golden tan. “What’s so funny?” He stopped and turned around and my breath caught as I realized he was facing me completely naked.
“Nothing.” I called back to him and stared at his face. Do not look down, Bianca. My brain was screaming at me. Do not look down. Of course, my eyes didn’t listen. I looked down and gasped. His penis was slightly erect and standing at attention. I looked back up at his face and he was grinning.
“Like what you see?” he shouted at me, with a slight laugh in his voice.
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about.” I looked down at the ground. “I didn’t see anything.”
“Pity.” He laughed and turned back and ran into the ocean. I walked up to the water behind him and watched as he jumped in the waves and splashed himself. My eyes narrowed with jealousy as I imagined how good it would feel to strip off my underwear and go into the ocean as well. I hadn’t been lying before. I literally had sand everywhere.
“What are you waiting for, Bianca?” Jakob turned around to face me. “Come on in.” I stared at his silhouette in the ocean and tried not to fall in love with him then and there. He looked like Poseidon, king of the ocean, god of the sea, protector of all waters and me. His chest was built and strong, and it glittered like gold in the sunlight. I watched the water drops clinging to his chest and felt envious. In that moment, I would have liked to be a water drop, clinging to him for dear life.
“I can’t come in.” I shook my head. “I’m not running in naked.”
“Don’t be scared, Bianca.” He teased me. “I won’t bite.” His grin showed off his perfectly white teeth, and of course now all I could think about was him biting every little part of my body. “Unless you want me to.”
“I don’t want you to and no, I’m not scared.” I glared at him.
“It will feel good to get all the sand out, Bianca. Trust me.”
“Fine.” I walked into the ocean and moved away from him. “Don’t come near me.” I glared at him and then reached down and pulled my panties off. Immediately the water surged up and I felt weird but liberated.
“Bra next?” He shouted at me, but he hadn’t moved closer to me, so I just ignored him. I held on to my panties tightly and then undid my bra. The water felt like heaven against my naked breasts, and I sighed happily. He was right. It felt absolutely amazing to be naked in the water. I used my hands to scrub down my body. Even though the water would leave a residue of salt on my body, I felt that was preferable to having sand and sweat hanging on to me all day. I scrubbed every inch of my body, trying to remove every grain of sand and dirt that I could.
“She’s going to wash that man right off of her skin; she’s going to wash that man right off of her skin.” I heard Jakob singing, and I looked over at him.
“What are you doing?”
“Making a song up for you.”
“You didn’t make that up. That’s a variation on a song from South Pacific.”
“So you do know your movies, then.” He raised an eyebrow at me and then swam toward me, and I froze.
“What are you doing?” I took a step back.
“I wanted to know if you needed help with your back.”
“What help?” My heart skipped a beat as I imagined his strong hands on my naked back.
“I could help wash off whatever clinging sand grains remained.” He shrugged and stopped about two feet away from me. “And you could do the same for me.”
“You’re too close.” I glared at him and looked down in the water to ensure that my breasts weren’t showing.
“Don’t worry, I can’t see much.” He laughed.
“What does that mean?”
“I can see boobage, but I can’t see nipple.”
“That’s more than I wanted you to see.”
“Do you want me to scrub your back or not?” He moved closer, and I could see his blue eyes laughing at me. He was enjoying making me feel uncomfortable.
“I don’t think that I do.” I shook my head and froze as he moved even closer to me. His body was within inches of mine, and all of a sudden my heart was racing with excitement. I could feel the electricity in the water between us. My body was humming in anticipation. If I took just one step forward I would be in his arms and my naked body would be crushed against his. If I wanted to, I could reach down and touch his cock. I could see if it was as magnificent as it had looked earlier.
“Turn around.” He commanded me, breaking our momentary silence.
“Sorry, what?”
“I said turn around, and lift your hair up. I’ll be able to get your back better if it’s facing me.”
I’m not sure why I did it, but I turned around. His hands touched my skin lightly at first. His fingertips rubbed me gently, and I felt like I wanted to melt.
“You can scrub a bit harder.” I muttered, wanting to feel the strength of his hands on me.
“I was being soft at first, in case you had a sunburn. I don’t want to hurt you,” he whispered in my ear as he stepped closer to me. I swallowed hard as I felt something brush my ass. I didn’t ask what it was, because I already knew. He increased the pressure of his fingers, and I felt my body trembling as he scrubbed my back. His fingers moved in swift circular motions until he moved up to my shoulders. I felt his fingers squeezing my muscles, and I sighed as he worked to release the tension. “I hope you don’t mind me giving you a massage,” he whispered again, but I didn’t answer. I could feel his chest against my back, and I was suddenly aware of just how close he was to me. He massaged my shoulders for another couple of minutes, and then he went back to rubbing my back.
“I think that’s good enough.” I murmured as his hands started scrubbing my sides and accidentally rubbed the side of my boobs.
“Don’t worry, Bianca. I’m nearly done.” I could hear the grin in his voice. “I just have one more spot to take care of.” I gasped as his fingers fell to my ass and scrubbed it down.
“What do you think you’re doing?” I shouted, and took a step forward.
“I’m making sure all of you is sand-free.” His hands moved up to my lower back, and he scrubbed there. “I thought that’s what you wanted.”
“I didn’t want your hands on my ass,” I retorted angrily.
“My bad.” His hands worked up my back again. “Okay, I’m nearly done.”
“Good.”
“Just one last place.” He said softly, and before I knew what he was doing, I felt his fingers slide down the middle of my ass cheeks.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” I pulled away from him and turned around to glare at him.
“Sorry, you did say you had sand in all your cracks and crevices.”
“Uh-huh.” My eyes narrowed at him. “I’m going to shore now. I suggest you stay here until I get my bra and panties back on.”
“What about my back?” He pouted, and I laughed.
“You’re on your own, mister.”
“Thanks a lot.” He made a face, and I splashed water at him. “Hey, what’s that about?” He sputtered and spat out some of the ocean water that had gone in his mouth.
“That’s a warning. Don’t try to pull a fast one on me again,” I said lightly, and started to walk away from him.
“That’s a pretty pathetic warning,” he shouted at me, and I felt a huge wave of water crashing over me.
“Are you joking?” I turned around
and glared at him, my face dripping with water. “You just splashed me?”
“What are you going to do about it?” He grinned, and I narrowed my eyes.
“This.” I put my hands down in the water and created a huge wave to splash at him. He splashed me back, and we continued splashing each other for the next few seconds. Without my realizing it, Jakob had swum up to me and I felt his arms around my waist.
“What are you doing?” I gasped as I tried to splash him in the face.
“Nothing.” He shook his head and leaned toward me. I felt his lips pressing down on mine softly. His mouth was salty and hard. He brought me in closer to him, and I felt my breasts crush against his chest. I moaned against his lips, as I felt his manhood pressed against my stomach. He slipped his tongue into my mouth, and I sucked on it eagerly, running my hands up to his head to play with his hair. I felt his hands on my back pinching into my skin, and I pressed myself into him closer. His hands then fell to my ass, and he squeezed my butt cheeks together. I moaned again and then froze as I felt his fingers going down my ass crack, trying to get in between my legs. I stepped back quickly, with my heart racing.
“What are you doing?” I swallowed hard and stared up at him.
“Sorry, I got a bit carried away.” He licked his lips and stared back at me. “We should probably get out now.”
“I agree.” I nodded.
“You go first. I’ll wait here with my back turned so you can put on your bra and panties.”
“Thank you.” I swam away from him quickly and ran out of the water. I wrung as much water as I could out of my underwear and slipped them on. They were cold and clammy, but I knew they would dry out quickly in the hot sun. I also knew not wearing them was not even a possibility.
“I’m ready.” I called out to Jakob and watched as he swam back to shore. He moved like a champion swimmer, and his body was made for the water. I stared at him as he exited the ocean, and this time, I didn’t tell myself not to look. I gasped as I saw his cock was hard and jutting out. Jakob looked up at me as he put his briefs back on, and we stared at each other for a few seconds before he walked over to me.
