“I know this is complicated for us both, but I don’t want us to be so separate. We’ve only go each other out here, and if we don’t talk we’ll both be miserable.”
He nodded his head slightly and turned away, focusing back on the fire, but still he didn’t speak.
“I was too hard on you the other day. I was scared… What if I had got pregnant? What if you aren’t clean?”
His head snapped back at me. “I’m clean, Kendra,” he said sharply.
“Okay… Well, then I won’t worry about that. But I didn’t mean what I said about leaving me alone. I was caught in the moment. I just want my brother back. I’m sorry.”
A slight smile started creeping across his mouth, and then he started chuckling slightly, then burst into a laugh.”
“What’s so funny?”
“It’s just… You’re always so snarky. You look kind of cute when you’re apologizing.”
“Hey!” I snapped and crossed my arms.
He walked towards me and wrapped his arms around my shoulders. “Let’s get this fire going.”
There was more for us to say, but his actions told me enough. I had Alex back, and that was all I was going to worry about.
We both started gathering twigs, branches and dried foliage to put in the fire. For hours we continued to add to the flames until we had a bonfire of massive proportions. If it had gotten any bigger, we might have lost control. Smoke poured from the fire and up into the sky, a clear signal that someone was there. All day, one of us continued adding to the fire while the other went about searching for food or looking out from various points of the island, hoping to notice a boat or a plane.
It was futile. After a long day of work, the sun started going down and no one could be seen. We admitted defeat and let the bonfire burn down to ash.
Chapter 10
We were covered in soot when it was all said and done. Since it was dark, we chose to clean off in the salty water of the ocean, rather than risk walking back through the jungle to get to the fresh water of the waterfall.
It’s amazing how much I took things for granted when I was back home. Something as simple as light was precious on the island. Anywhere but the immediate area around the fire was completely pitch black when the sun started going down, limiting our explorable distance to a few hundred feet.
After cleaning off, Alex roasted some fish over the remnants of the hot fire. I watched him as he stared attentively to the crackling embers, looking as if a lot was on his mind.
His beard had started growing out and was now about an inch thick. I had never seen him with a beard before, but it looked incredibly sexy on him. A week and a half of eating whole foods and working on the island had treated his body well also. His six pack was more defined than ever, and his muscles were hulking out of every inch of his body. His white skin had changed to a honey-colored tan, so every edge and curve was much more noticeable.
I knew what he was thinking because I was thinking the same thing too; the possibility that we might not be rescued any time soon was becoming more and more of a reality.
“So what are we going to do?” I asked him.
It took him a few moments to reply, but eventually he said, “We’re going to fight. That’s what we’re going to do. We’re not going to give up.”
I admired his courage, but I was less hopeful. “It’s been a week and a half, Alex. We haven’t seen anyone.”
He passed me a piece of roasted fish and a coconut filled with coconut milk. “Have you ever seen that show ‘Survivor’?”
I giggled a little bit and nodded.
“Well those guys are stuck on an island with strangers for a month, or sixty days, I can’t remember how long. But it’s a long time, and they do okay. They have people lining up to have their boring lives stripped away from them and whisked away to an island with no food, clothes, or anything.” He raised his own coconut to me, and I laughed as I clunked my coconut against his. “Let’s make the best of our time here. From now on we’re survivors. No pun intended.”
I laughed. “The way you talk, I’d think you planned for us to get stuck on a deserted island.”
“No, I’d never do that to you, Sis’. I was pretty upset myself when we first got here, but it’s starting to grow on me now.”
“What do you mean? You don’t want to go back home?”
“Of course I want to go back. But for once, it’s nice to be away from it all.” He let out a long exhale. “You don’t know what it’s like to be me.”
“To have billions of dollars? Enough money to buy anything? A huge mansion? Ladies flocking all over you? Yeah, it must be hard.” I smirked and took a bite of my fish.
“It is hard. People have expectations of me now. People depend on me to come up with the next big idea, and everyone wants me for my money.” His eyes shifted to the ground. “Sometimes I don’t know if people even care about who I am or just care about the money. I’m just some rich guy.”
“You always seem so confident and happy to me.”
“Confident yes, but happy? Maybe I am or maybe I’m not. Truth is, I’m not allowed to be unhappy. If people thought I was unhappy they’d look at me funny. How can a billionaire be unhappy? They just don’t understand.”
“I understand…” I said and gave him my biggest smile.
“Sometimes I think you’re the only one who understands me, Sis’… Or should I call you Kendra?”
“Sis’ is fine. Whatever you want.” I gave him another smile.
“Alright Sis’.” Alex stood up, threw his remaining fish into the fire and chucked his coconut shell far out into the ocean. “It’s pretty late. We should get some sleep so we can take advantage of the daylight tomorrow.” He rubbed the top of my head and turned to walk to his shelter.
“Alex!” I called out.
He turned his head. “Yeah?”
“I’d prefer if we stayed together.”
“But we-”
“No buts. It’s safer if we’re together.”
Alex nodded in understanding and then held out his hand to help me stand. I tossed my fish on to the remaining fire and attempted to mimic his athletic coconut throw, but mine barely made it into the water.
Rather than releasing my hand, he held onto it as he escorted me back to the shelter. When we got inside, he said “I love what you did with the place.”
I laughed and amazed that he could still have such a great sense of humor in our uncomfortable situation.
He lay back on the palm fronds and let out a big sigh as I closed our makeshift door. In the pitch dark, I managed to find my way beside him and immediately snuggled into his arms. I felt comfortable again, happy to have my brother back, happy to be close again.
I inhaled deeply, and his body scent mixed with the smell of the plant liquid that we used as soap flooded my nostrils. It immediately brought me back to the waterfall and what happened there. I threw my arm around him and tightness gripped my lower belly. I was already starting to get wet, and it took all of my willpower not to think of the inexcusably hot sex that we had.
My arm rested gently on his chest as I tried every trick I knew in order to get myself to sleep- picturing myself floating through emptiness, counting sheep, rehearsing the alphabet backwards. It wasn’t working, and I was quickly becoming agitated. As I moved to roll over, my arm ungracefully slid down his chest and bumped into his cock. It was only the slightest tap, but I could tell that he was hard. He shifted uncomfortably, but then rolled to his side towards me, causing me to also roll- into a spooning position.
Now I could clearly feel his cock, pressed up against the back of my ass. His hand was nestled against my chest, so close to touching my breasts, that it was driving me crazy. I knew that he wanted me, and my God, I wanted him. I wanted what we had at the waterfall that night and every night. The only thing that was stopping us was the fact that he was my stepbrother. Why had the world put me in such a twisted situation?
“Sis’…”
He suddenly whispered, startling me out of my thoughts.
“Yeah?” I asked.
“I can’t sleep…”
I paused a moment then muttered in reply, “Me too…”
As if my words had set something off inside of him, Alex suddenly rolled on top of me and pushed me on my back. He was breathing so heavily, so animalistic that I actually felt a little scared. “I can’t not have you,” He panted. “I can’t be with you and not have you!”
He grasped at my bikini top and pulled as hard as he could, snapping the string in the front in two. Before I could say or do anything, his lips rushed down and caught on to mine, kissing me even fiercer than before. One of his hands found my breasts, squeezing and kneading forcefully.
I struggled to breath, overwhelmed by the sudden change of events, anticipation rushing over me. His hand left me breast, and quickly slid down until they were under my bikini bottoms, rubbing between my folds.
“Oh my God, you’re so wet baby,” he whispered into my mouth, and I whimpered in return. His smell, the sound of his voice, the forcefulness was so intoxicating, and as his finger found my clit, I arched my back, struggling to not loose control.
“Please!” I begged. “Please!” I knew that if he continued I was going to come soon, and I didn’t want it to end without feeling all of him.
“Please what?” He demanded.
“Please. I need you inside of me.”
Alex grabbed onto my bikini bottoms, slid them off in one single motion and just as quickly removed his shorts. He moved back on top of me and exchanged his fingers with his cock. Rapidly, his head rubbed back and forth over my clit, teasing my entrance, bringing me so close to climax that I couldn’t breath. And right before I was about to release, he plunged into me in one quick motion, causing me to exhale my last bit of air. He remained fully submerged inside of me for a few seconds, and I could feel his cock pulsating, his girth increasing as he enjoyed my hole. Finally, he started to move, stroking slowly in and out of me.
“Oh fuck…” I moaned. My legs instinctively wrapped around him, but he leaned back and grabbed them with his hands then pushed them up towards my chest. I couldn’t move in that position, and he was hitting me so deep, that it felt like he entering my stomach. He pushed down hard on my legs and practically pounded me into submission. I felt like I was splitting in two, my center being stretched to it’s maximum limit.
And I was loving every moment of it.
I moaned wildly, and just kept repeating “Oh fuck, Oh fuck…” over and over again. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t form even the slightest complete thought. The lewd noises, the breeze of the fresh ocean air seeping through our shelter, and the fact that I was fucking him, my stepbrother, the billionaire, the most handsome man I had ever seen, and the one man that I shouldn’t be fucking- It was sending me quickly over the edge.
My body jerked, and I reached around him, digging my nails into his back as hard as I could. My mouth gaped, and I struggled to catch my breath as I felt my orgasm on the brink of explosion. “Yes!” I screamed.
“Oh fuck, Sis’,” Alex grunted. “You’re going to make come.”
“Yes!” I screamed again. Please come, I thought to myself. I wanted him to feel the same pleasure that I was about to feel. And with that, an explosion rippled through my body. In the pitch of black, I could see stars, and my body vibrated rapidly as he pounded in to me.
Alex’s strokes became more furious and less deliberate than they were before, and as my pussy clenched and spasmed around his cock, I could feel him erupting inside of me at the same time. His erratic pounding became slower and slower, and eventually he collapsed on top of me, both of us trying desperately to catch our breath.
He stayed inside of me for a few seconds, and I wrapped my arms around him, enjoying the feeling of us both still joined together. Moisture was building in my eyes, and when he pulled off of me, my emotions were running high. I rolled on to my side, facing away from him, and quickly the moisture in my eyes became full-blown tears.
Alex spooned me as I rolled over, but immediately heard me sniffle and whimper a bit as salty water came pouring out my eyes. “Sis’… Uh, Kendra. What’s wrong? You’re not angry again, are you?”
“No… It’s just… I don’t want to lose this.”
I could feel Alex sit up, and he rolled me over on to my back. It was too dark too see, but I knew that he was looking down at me. He paused a moment before speaking as if considering what he was about to say.
“Kendra, I don’t want to lose this either. I… I won’t let us lose this. I love you.”
Everything passed quickly through my ears except those three special words. I love you. He loved me? Was I dreaming or was it a nightmare? The most amazing man in the world loved me? Kendra Jenners? The average girl? And the most amazing man in the world just happened to be my relative… perhaps not by blood relation but by decree.
I sat motionless and silent for a moment, uncertain of what I should say, uncertain exactly of how I felt about the situation. But then I noticed how quickly my tears and sniffling had disappeared. I was happy. He loved me, and I was happy that he loved me. And then I realized what I needed to say.
“I love you too,” I replied.
I could hear Alex breathe a sigh of relief, and then he leaned down and kissed me goodnight.
Chapter 11
Over the next week, everything changed. Alex and I spent every waking moment together. We would look for food, explore new areas of the island together, cook, swim, and bathe together. Although we would make a bonfire nearly every night in an attempt to signal for someone, we rarely spoke about leaving the island or how tough it was out there. We didn’t complain; we were “survivors” as Alex put it, and once I got past the things I missed at home, life on the island with him actually became fun.
However, deep down inside me was buried a dark worry. Alex felt more like a boyfriend now to me than a stepbrother, and once we did get off the island, I had no idea how I was going to explain it to our parents. We needed to figure out our plans soon, since any day a rescue team could show up to bring us home.
“Look out below!” Alex yelled as he hurdled himself off the top of the waterfall. It was roughly the height of a 4 story building, so he came down into the water below with a huge splash. When he rose from beneath the surface of the water, he cleared his eyes and splashed me. “You’re turn!” he yelled.
“Not today, mister!” I splashed water back at him which erupted us into us having a brief splashing contest that he won.
He moved in closer to me and pulled me into his arms as I tried to wipe the water out of my eyes. “What’s wrong with my little baby today?” he asked as he started showering me with kisses on my lips and cheeks. “Not up for any fun?”
“I just don’t feel well today…”
“What’s wrong?” He rubbed my tummy. “Is baby sister hungry?”
“Ughh…” I replied. “I can’t even imagine eating fish or coconuts right now. Maybe what I ate last night upset my stomach.”
“How about some berries then? You know the wild pig that we saw the other day? I was thinking maybe I could kill one with the fishing spear. It would be a good change from our usual food.”
“No, Alex. I’m really not hungry. I actually feel nauseous.”
“Okay, well then let’s get you back to camp to relax.”
I nodded, and we both got out of the water and began getting dressed.
“Alex,” I called while I fastened my bikini top. “What are we going to tell Mom and Dad when we see them again?”
“Well, we’ll tell them the truth. We’ll say that we go caught in a huge storm that crashed our ship and we lived on this island for however long.”
“You know what I mean. What will we tell them about us?” I had tried to avoid the conversation for a long time, not wanting to kill the mood, but I had to be asked.
Alex sighed. “Well, I love you, and you love me, righ
t?”
I nodded.
“Then we’ll tell them that we love each other.”
“That’s all?”
“And that we’re together as a couple.”
“What do you think they’ll say?”
“Well, they’ll probably say that I hit my head during the boat crash- which I did- but that’s not why I care about you. And after they get over the denial, they’ll probably try to kill us both.”
“And?”
“And after they try to kill us, they’ll probably try to kill themselves.” Alex grinned sarcastically.
I threw him a sharp look. “I’m being serious Alex!”
“Look Sis’, we’re just going to tell them how we feel about each other. They can’t prevent us from being together. They’ll resist our decision at first, but then they’ll get over it. Don’t worry… Remember who you’re dealing with.”
“Alex Conner, CEO of Conner Enterprises,” I said matter-of-factly.
“Kendra Jenner, CEO of my heart, my soul, and my cock.” He moved in close to me, grabbed my hand, and placed it directly in the area that I was supposed to be managing.
“Stop it you dirty, dirty man!” I teased and then burst out into a giggle. I leaned down to grab an empty coconut shell that I had brought with me. “Come on, let’s get a little bit of water and head back to camp.”
Alex and I both filled our shells and started our short trek back to the beach. The sun was beating down on us, and I was starting to feel incredibly weak with each step that I took. The journey wasn’t far, but on this occasion it seemed like camp couldn’t have been further away.
“Alex, I need to stop,” I said as I leaned against a tree.
He looked at my worriedly and wiped some sweat from my brow. “We’re only about a minute away. Here, drink some water.” He grabbed my coconut shell and lifted it to my mouth. I slowly sipped the water and briefly felt better, but within seconds I could feel the water- along with everything else in my stomach- rushing back up into my throat.I turned around and dipped behind a tree where I began vomiting and heaving.
