  “Be sure that you want to do that. Once you do there is no coming back. You’re not even sure that he’s the right one.” I thought for a moment that it was my conscience speaking to me in a language that I would understand. It wasn’t until I looked to the side to see the shadow of my friend with an expression on his face like he was punishing me for my behavior.

  “I know that I want to have him in every way possible. I have him right where I want him and I could use him as a personal toy and then put him back for a later date. He doesn’t have to know that it’s happening. I just have this desperate need to get off. You can’t tell me that you’ve never felt so overcome with emotion that you didn’t care about the consequences,” I said while moving up and down with those lips leaving a path from the head all the way down to his balls in wetness.

  “You have to remember who you are, Michelle. We still don’t know if he can be trusted. I’m under the impression that he can’t be. He can dress it up all that he wants by bringing us to this paradise, but in the end, he still has only one agenda. He might profess otherwise, but his class of living is something that he can never be without. The best thing for you to do is to be careful about how he plays with your emotions. You may not think that you can be hurt that way. I’ve seen a change in your icy exterior,” Jackson whispered all of this into my ear. He really did think that he was helping, but his hot breath was only compounding the issue. It felt like he was whispering sweet nothings in my ear.

  “You’re asking me to do the impossible. I can’t leave him alone and not do something about the chemistry between us. Every day it grows stronger until there’s only one inevitable move to make. He doesn’t know it, but he’s the one that has all the control. I just want this moment to take some of that back. I can see the hungry stare of his arousal. This is my way to insert my independence,” I said as I slid all the weight off of him and stood with Jackson there to hold me. I was sex drunk with a need that overshadowed common sense.

  “I hate to be a poison pill, but you did mention bringing me with you for a reason. You want me to be the buffer and to hold you to a higher standard. You depend on me to keep you from doing something that is going to give you a bad taste in your mouth. I won’t be able to hold you back forever, but if I see that you’re slipping, then you can be damn well certain that I will do something to pull you back before it’s too late,” Jackson said as he led me away from the delectable treat that had a creamy center. That was something that would definitely melt in my mouth and not in my hand. I would never look at an M and M’s commercial the same way ever again.

  “I should be cross with you for interrupting where you didn’t belong. I should tell you that I wasn’t that far gone and I knew what I was doing. I would love to say that, but it wouldn’t be the truth. Without you pulling me back, I’m sure that I would be riding with waves of euphoria cascading over my body. I would let him drive that beautiful piece into the hot and willing hole between my legs. I wouldn’t be able to stop myself. It would leave me with a sense of remorse after everything is said and done,” I said conscious of the fact that Drake was still lying there in a compromising position.

  “I’m only doing what you would do for me. It’s nothing more and nothing less. We’ve always been there for each other and that’s not going to stop because of your raging libido. You must know that in some small way that this is due to the fact that you haven’t been with anybody in quite some time. He has been stirring the pot from the moment that you met him. There has to be a part of you that believes that he only started that campaign of flirting to get you in the right frame of mind to help him,” Jackson said as he had his hand on the small of my back which was the most sensitive part of my body.

  “You’ve already said quite explicitly that you want me. It could be that you are jealous and the only way to stop me from having fun is by stepping in. You don’t want me to be with him because you want me to be with you. There’s no sense in denying and you admitted it freely without any kind of restraint. I know that it would only be strictly a physical exercise for you. I’ve always wanted to mix a little bit of pleasure with our friendship. You have kept me from getting close but your words say more than actions,” I said giving him food for thought.

  “I’m not going to sit here and lie to you. Drake is not worthy of a girl like you. You have a lot to offer and he only wants one thing. Don’t kid yourself, he will happily sleep with you and then toss you aside after the money is secure in his possession. There is nothing of a long-term commitment to a future that involves the two of you. It’s foolish to think otherwise. He’s a playboy with an attitude that will have you growing weary of his wandering eye. I’m saving you from yourself and I don’t even expect you to thank me,” Jackson said as we got back up to where my room was.

  “I don’t want to believe you, but you’ve never had a dishonest bone in your body. You’ve always said the way that it is. We may not be lovers under the covers, but that can easily be remedied. As you can imagine, I’m fucking horny. I don’t mind telling you that you have something that I need. Do you have it in you to leave a damsel in distress? I think I know you better than anyone. Something tells me that there is a battle going on inside you. We see each other every day. It’s that temptation that is going to get too much for us to take,” I said purposely drawing him a conclusion that ended with the both of us writhing naked and grinding together in a post aftermath celebration.

  “I think that we are destined to be together. I won’t take advantage of you in this current state of mind. I will know that you are only using me. That is no way to treat a friend that only has your best interest at heart. I know that I can say the right words. I can touch your emotions like no other. I am the keeper of your secrets. I know how you like to be touched and you’ve never been shy about telling me. The blow by blow descriptions of your love life has been quite eye opening. I know what it takes to get a rise out of you and you know how to do the same thing to me,” Jackson said with a smug attitude.

  “You really do know how to push my buttons. My curiosity is eventually going to get the best of me. There is going to come a day that we will end up ridding you of that need to experiment with a woman. You are a good friend, Jackson and I don’t know what I did to deserve you in my life. You have made it possible for me to live with my decisions. You’ve been there as a sounding board and a friend. I don’t think that I could ask for anything more than that,” I said as I gave him a hug, squeezing him tightly and hoping that his resolve was going to fall under the pressure of my passion.

  “I know what you’re trying to do and it’s not going to work. Get some rest before dinner and you know that he’s going to want to make sure that we are on the same page,” Jackson said.

  Chapter 12

  I could only do one thing to make sure that I didn’t run headlong into Drake’s arms when I saw him next. I got underneath the shower and turned the setting to cold. It was a contrast to the heat of this island paradise. I had to attribute some of that misplaced enthusiasm to the romantic setting. It didn’t hurt that the tropical humidity was making my body more susceptible to Drake’s advances.

  I knew that if I had done any of that while he was awake that things would’ve been vastly different. I would’ve been caught up in his web. Spreading my legs like a wishbone would’ve been the next step in the evolution of our relationship. I would have gladly supplied him with the heated grip of my sex.

  Even after the shower, I could barely think straight without wanting to experience more of what Drake could give me. I could see it in his eyes that he wanted me. It was that steely gaze and the way that he would lick his lips. It was a wonder that any girl could resist his charms. I did remember that he was a philandering pig and didn’t stick around for more than breakfast in the morning. Did I really have what it took to make him change his ways? Would I always worry that he would want to be with somebody else? I began to think and maybe Jackson had done the right thing by pulling me back
before I let my body do the talking.

  I heard the sound of drums and I went to investigate. I found the two brothers in the process of practicing for the big show that they were going to put on. I didn’t want them to see me, so I stayed completely silent and gave them the audience that they didn’t even know that they had.

  “It’s not nice to spy on people. Dinner will be served shortly and I’ve already had a sneak peek at the menu. These are island delicacies. They are recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. The brothers are putting their own spin on things. We have fresh coconuts growing on the other side of the island. There is a multitude of different berries and I believe that they have utilized even the spices that have grown wild in the area. The meat is so succulent that it falls off the bone of the rib,” Drake said as he had snuck up on me and had inadvertently given a hint to the meal that was waiting for us.

  “I do like my meat nice and tender. I hope that they use a special spice blend that will tickle my palate. Some people can’t handle the heat, but I do not share their sentiment. I believe that the hotter the meat the better,” I said obviously using a bit of sexual emphasis to get my point across.

  “I get the feeling that we’re not talking about the food. Might it be that this tropical getaway has gotten you in a randy mood? I feel that it is my duty to help you to satisfy those longings,” Drake said as he touched my bare shoulders and began to massage them in a way that made my legs tremble.

  “There’s no way that I can tell you any differently. This place is magic. It fills me with joy and also holds a burning candle to my passion. I told you and I’m going to repeat it one more time so that there is no miscommunication. I don’t think that it’s a good idea for us to sleep together. It would’ve been different had you not recruited me for this. I’m not even sure that I feel right about tricking your family into thinking something that’s not true. I have agreed, but a girl has the prerogative to change her mind,” I said not meaning to put him on the spot, but he was bringing it on himself.

  “I don’t know why there has to be a restriction on the way that we feel about each other. There’s no possible reason for us to stay celibate. It’s obvious that we both want the same thing. It could be just as simple as letting nature take its course. We are in the wild and there’s no reason to tame the animals inside. Give yourself a license to feel and I promise that I will not disappoint you,” Drake said with his thumbs pressing into the muscle of my stress.

  “That does feel pretty damn good, but you do know that you are playing a dangerous game. Has anybody ever told you that patience is a virtue? We need to keep your mind on the business at hand. Pleasure can wait. I do want to give voice to the passion inside me. This whole thing with the flirting and the proposal to marry you on paper has been a whirlwind of emotions. You have a strong conviction and there’s a reason for me to believe that you will be a man of your word. That you will share the wealth with your siblings even though your father’s will doesn’t say that’s necessary,” I said with those same thumbs moving along my spine until I made an involuntary gasp of pleasure.

  “I know that you’re right, but you can’t blame a guy for trying. I admire the strength that it takes to resist that natural urge. We all have the capability of doing something obscene, but we always find a way to keep that from happening. It’s only those rare individuals that are in touch with their sexuality that doesn’t let anything stand in their way. I can tell you that Rowan and Jackson have not exactly been good boys. I was strolling along the grounds and I came across the both of them. It may not be my cup of tea, but I saw more than I wanted to,” Drake said as I followed him down to the beach away from the two brothers so that they didn’t know that we were watching them.

  A small table was prepared and was at the height where we were going to have to sit either on our knees or in a Lotus position. I was flexible enough that I could get into that Lotus position. Drake, on the other hand, was on his knees and Jackson joined us looking a little flushed from his adventure with a man that he probably would never see again. I understood that Jackson was just confirming his love of men. I’m sure than anybody else that was in his shoes would have done the same thing. They were uniquely compatible. The contrast in their skin colors made for an erotic dance that both of them seemed to know by the back of their hand.

  Pina came forward with the first dish which was a medley of fresh local vegetables including pineapple and a spicy sauce that burned my lips. Underneath there was a smorgasbord of freshly made ribs with an aroma that was intoxicating. The meat did fall off the bone and there was no need for words to describe the way that we were feeling. Pina smiled as we devoured that part of the feast, but that was just the beginning

  “It does a chef’s heart proud to see his food appreciated in this way. I’ve taken the liberty of making a drink that has no name. I’m going to call it a Tropical Wave. I’m not going to tell you what’s in it, but I wouldn’t drink too many of them. You might find yourself doing something that you wake up with no memory of. I don’t even have to warn you, but this is the drink that I use from time to time to get away from it all,” Pina said.

  “You never cease to amaze me, Pina. You always tend to go further than expected. I would request the recipe for the sauce, but I don’t think that you’re going to give me it. I had to try and that is the kind of sauce that could be used on just about anything,” Drake said as he continued to tear into the meat with his bare hands.

  There was something primal about the way that we were eating without utensils. We were getting back to our caveman roots. We didn’t have to worry about looking like animals. I did take a swallow of his concoction and there didn’t seem to be any liquor involved. It was a mixture of berries and pineapple. I drank the whole thing before I felt it going to my head.

  “Go easy on that and there is enough rum in that drink to drop an elephant. I know that it’s delicious, but you need to practice self-restraint. The pig is roasting. You can smell it from here. Finish what you are eating and then walk down the beach in the footprints that I’m going to leave behind,” Pina said as he walked away, bowing politely and then turning on his heel to leave behind those footprints that he had mentioned.

  For the next 10 minutes, we talked about his family and the little quirks that made up his siblings. I had to learn like I was some sort of sponge. I thought that the drink that I had just consumed was going to hamper my cognitive abilities. It seemed to only enhance the way that I was able to take in information. I listened intently and with each question, I was able to give him the answer that he was looking for.

  The liquor was perfect to keep the conversation flowing. Information was exchanged from one party to another. His childhood was laid bare and vice versa. We were preparing ourselves for when we were staring into the unblinking eyes of his siblings. I also seemed to recall that there was going to be a disinterested unbiased person that was holding the purse strings. I wondered if that person could be corrupted into siding with a particular member of the family. Bribery with a percentage of that fortune would go a long way to helping to make sure that the money fell into the right hands.

  “I touched you… I touched you and you didn’t even know it. I was practically begging for it and you were too out of it to even recognize a warm body on top of you. I would have done more, but my conscience got in my way. I touched you inappropriately. I couldn’t help myself. You called my name in your sleep. You are not exactly subtle about your intentions. There’s a part of me that wants to take things to the next level. I do believe that I have been talking a little bit too much. I need to put a sock in it. I’ve already told you way too much. I planned to take that secret to the grave, but this drink really does loosen the lips and the hips,” I said with him staring at me and most likely thinking that I was ready for even more.

  “I was having an erotic dream and it became more real than fiction. The sensation of somebody on top of me was like it was really happe
ning. I understand that it was happening and I only wish that I was there to show you that there was no need to pull away. I get this feeling that your conscience was Jackson whispering into your ear. He was probably quite convincing. You might think that his moral compass is straight. You must realize that every rose has its thorn. If you’re not careful then he is the one that is going to ruin it for the both of us. I would seriously reconsider bringing him along for what is obviously going to be an interrogation,” Drake said as he finished the rest of the ribs on his plate.

  He was licking his fingers and salaciously staring at me at the same time. He had me feeling completely naked and at the mercy of whatever devious plot that was being hatched up in his head.

  “I don’t know why you’re making me out to be the bad guy. I was only trying to be a good friend. You see conspiracies all around you. There’s no reason to make her think that there was anything other than friendship on my mind. There was no ulterior motive. You can believe me or not. I don’t care. I’ve never hidden the fact that I wanted her. I’ve never been with a girl before and I don’t really have anything to compare it to. I would rather be with someone that I trust than to pick up some random stranger in a bar or grocery store,” Jackson said showing the flustered flush of his cheeks.
