Around the World in 80 Men Series Boxed Set 1-10

by Brandi Ratliff

  As they ascended further into the sky, Morgan went straight to work capturing as many photos as her fingers would allow. The first pass over the water made her heart flip in her chest, but somehow, being in a helicopter was actually less stressful than being in a commercial plane.

  Jordan took the couple in an hour long flight from Waikiki to Honolulu, before circling around the coast to Makapu'u Point. Morgan got to see things that she imagined most people would never see in a life time. They flew over hidden waterfalls, lush emerald forests, wild terrain of mountains and gorges as well as rolling countryside over hills that appeared to have no beginning nor end. The helicopter was open on either side, so every so often she would risk a lean over the edge and look down at the scenery below her. It was the single most beautiful thing she had ever seen in her life.

  Along the way, Matthew would offer bits of information about their surrounds, even at one point mentioning that many movies, including Jurassic Park, had used scenes that were filmed in the remote scenery below them. He also told them that Oahu was the second oldest island in Hawaii and even its volcanoes had been extinct for over three-million years. Morgan absorbed each tidbit of information like a cactus during a rainfall.

  Kole had already known all of the information Matthew told them, but he acted as if they were all new and exciting facts. It wasn't his first helicopter ride either, but for that particular flight, Morgan was more beautiful than anything he could have seen on either side. She looked more excited than a child riding their first roller coaster, and he was happy that he could give her a gift that she'd never forget.

  As they descended back onto the rooftop, Morgan managed to capture a picture of Kole. She thought he looked cute with the big muffs around his ears and dark sunglasses. She also knew immediately that it would be his scrapbook photo. Jordan also snapped a picture of the two of them, both with their thumbs in the air and the cheesiest grins they could conjure.

  “Kole, thank you so much! That was the best gift anyone has ever given me!” Morgan wrapped her arms around his neck and the best way she could think to thank him, she kissed him.

  “You liked it?” Kole already knew the answer.

  “Oh, yes! Yes, it was amazing!” She hugged him tightly again and they both laughed. . Kole hoped it was enough to make up for the charter boat ordeal, but if wasn't, he had another surprise in store. He took her hand and listened to the excited girl talk about all the things she had seen all the way back to the first floor of the hotel. Once they were back outside, he told her the plan for the rest of the evening.

  “How does a horseback ride into the sunset sound?”

  “No...uh...no...” She put her hands up in front of her body in a defensive motion, then explained her first and only horseback ride. “So, I'm not going anywhere near a horse, and you'd be wise to stay away from them too.” Morgan folded her arms in front of her chest and stood her ground.

  Kole stepped forward slowly and a very sexy and dangerous smile formed on his tan face, “Morgan, I'm not a man who will pay for another man's sins. Not to mention, I would never want you on another horse when I can have your sweet little body next to mine.” He put his hands at her hips and pulled her against him. “Say you'll ride with me.” He kissed her neck slowly and moved his hands around her waist.

  Morgan titled her head back and moaned softly. “Fine, but if a horse kills me today, I'll never forgive you.” She put her arms around his neck and demanded more of the sweet neck-kissing.

  “Alright horse, listen....I'm not thrilled about this so let's just take it easy on each other, okay?” Morgan stroked Hamlet's muscular brown neck and tried her best to sound kind yet authoritative. Kole laughed at her and tightened his grip around her waist.

  “He's a good boy, Morgan. Aren't ya buddy?” He kissed the back of her blonde head and began humming into her ear.

  “Hmmm, that sounds nice.” She relaxed against his chest and put her hands over the large hand that was around her middle. Kole leaned in closer and began to sing the most beautiful song, and it was just for her.

  Where is my beloved

  I’ve searched for you

  Now that I’ve found you

  Calm the desire of my heart

  Sealed forever to you

  Sweetheart you are so precious

  I pledge my love to you alone

  I desire you

  True to you alone

  With you joy will ever be mine

  You’re mine

  Oh, my lei

  You're mine, my lei

  Fond remembrance of the one who came

  My fragrant lei

  Drenched in the rain

  “That was so beautiful, what was it?” Morgan's eyes were still closed as his sweet voice hummed.

  “It's called, Ke Kali Nei Au. It's a love song, mostly for weddings, but lovers enjoy it too.” He kissed her neck and opened his fingers wide to caress her belly as their bodies rocked along with Hamlet's stride.

  She turned her head to the side to press her lips against his warm neck. “Kole, do you think you could pick me up and turn me around so I can face you?” When she smiled against his skin, his heart raced and he nodded his reply.

  In one quick movement he lifted her two feet off the saddle and turned her around. He placed her back gently, then pulled her legs around his hips. “Is this what you wanted?” He put his forehead against hers and ran his hand down her spine slowly.

  “Yes.” Morgan wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him to her lips. Feeling him kiss her as they rocked in Hamlet's saddle was nearly intoxicating, and she lowered one hand to the top of his shorts. Testing the water, she dipped two fingers into his waistband and ran them from the center to one side. She felt his hand on her arm, urging her to continue. Morgan moaned in response to his eagerness, then slipped her small hand inside of his dark blue shorts.

  When her hand wrapped around his enormous hard dick, he sighed into her mouth. “That's nice.” Kole closed his eyes and pulled her closer.

  Her hand moved slowly along his silky skin as she squeezed just enough to feel him jerk in her hand. “Hmmmm.” Morgan used her thumb to circle the top, enjoying the moisture that she had already worked out of the man. She stroked him slowly again, and his breathing increased each time her hand came to the top. “You want it faster?” Morgan tucked her head between his neck and collarbone, and used that position to hold herself as she slipped her other hand into his shorts.

  “Yeah.” His one word was moaned from his lips as his body stiffened with the feel of her other hand around his cock.

  Morgan used her forearms to pull his shorts over the prize, and she was given the perfect view of both of her hands, one on top of the other, gliding down his full length. “You've got the most beautiful dick I've ever seen.” She wet her bottom lip as her hands began to pump faster.

  “Slow down, or I'll come.” Kole's chest rose quickly as he tried to hold off from going over that sweet edge.

  Morgan didn't slow down, she moved faster, squeezing harder with each stroke of her hands. “I want to watch your gorgeous cock come, let go, Kole. Come for me.” Her whisper, mixed with the perfect tempo of her hands, started an avalanche of release that he wouldn't have been able to stop if he had wanted to.

  “Fuck! Keep going!” His hand squeezed the back of her shirt in a near death grip, and his head fell back. With a carnal moan that made her regret not climbing on top of him, the hot fluid jerked from his body in waves of sweet release that covered her hands and arms. She squeezed and pumped every last bit that he had to offer, then relaxed her hands as she slowly ran them along his length one last time.

  Chapter Ten

  Click. “Okay, one more!” Morgan held one finger in the air, directing the Vaki family to stay still for another picture. Click. After a quick inspection, Morgan was happy with the results. Of course, Kala was the only one who hadn't taken it seriously. He had his head tu
rned to the side with his tongue less than an inch from Angela's cheek, and his bandaged nose was the icing on the cake. Otherwise, it was a wonderful picture, and Morgan was thrilled to have them all together for it.

  'Ele was the first to approach her after the picture. “So this is really your last day?” In typical 'Ele fashion, she grabbed Morgan's hands in her own, and Morgan's heartstrings pulled at the sight of the older woman's eyes gloss over in a teary glaze.

  Morgan took a second to look away and gather herself. Don't you cry, don't you dare! She looked around the pavilion, trying to spot Kole. She knew he couldn't help her cope with his mom, but his smile offered her the strength she needed. “Yes,” Morgan finally spoke, barely above a whisper. She was so sad to think about leaving the closest thing she ever had to her own family. “But I promise I'll return!”

  'Ele offered a nod and a gentle squeeze of Morgan's hand. “Well, let's enjoy this last night then, shall we?” Morgan nodded back and 'Ele released her hands.

  Once a week, the Vaki family held a luau for the community. Kole had asked Morgan if she wanted to skip out on it, but she had insisted that a trip to Hawaii wouldn't be complete without attending one. He was actually happy with her decision, because he looked forward to seeing her in a grass skirt, shaking that perfect ass of hers.

  The first part of the day was spent in bed, then the afternoon passed by with a long walk in the surf. The two had made it a lazy day, milking every last second they had together. Morgan had nearly perfected the art of avoiding the topic of leaving with her past experiences, but Kole's persistent need to bring it up had made it difficult to keep her mind off of it. She knew she'd have to call Julianne soon, but she was going to put it off as long as possible. The call always made things seem final, and Morgan wasn't ready for the news.

  “Mind if I take this dance?” Kole broke the silence between Morgan and 'Ele, offering his hand between them for Morgan to take. She smiled at 'Ele and when she nodded, Morgan took Kole's hand and they moved closer to the live music playing on the other side of the large pavilion.

  “Okay, you're going to dance, but you're going to do it in this,” Kole held up the long grass skirt for her. He figured she'd just hook it over her shorts, but when she disappeared into the bathroom and returned only wearing her white bikini and the skirt, he nearly had to physically shut his own mouth with his hand. She had let her hair down from its clip and it hung in soft curls around her breasts. On the way out of the restroom, she had snagged a lei from one of the hooks, giving herself a halo of pink and purple flowers. In the light of the tiki torches and bonfire, she looked like a goddess.

  “You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, Morgan Holland,” he pulled her tight to his chest and kissed the top of her head, then grabbed one of her hands and forced her to make a spin. Her grass skirt flew up and wolf whistles were heard from behind them. Both coming from Kala and Angela.

  “Angela!” Morgan realized she hadn't given her friend much attention the last couple of days and called her over. “I'm going to give your mom and Angela their gifts, I'll be right back,” she whispered to Kole and left his side to meet Ange in the middle.

  Morgan took her friend's hand and made her way back to 'Ele. She wanted to give them their gifts together. “Okay, ladies,” Morgan went to the table behind her and reached into her purse, producing two white jewelry boxes. 'Ele was already shaking her head back and forth before Morgan could hand it to her. “It's nothing big...I just wanted to say thank you to both of you. I've made some amazing friends this week, and I'll never forget either of you.”

  The ladies opened their boxes and the squeals of delight could have been heard at the other side of the luau. They thanked Morgan profusely and immediately latched their new white gold hearts around their necks, showing them off to each other. After another hug from 'Ele, Morgan took Angela aside to speak with her.

  “I'm leaving tomorrow, Ange,” Morgan admitted to her friend. The sad look on her face told her she had already known the information and Morgan loved her new friend for not bringing it up. “I wanted to tell you the truth. About me.”

  “I know, Morgan. Kala told me all about it.” They both looked at the culprit, who was oblivious to their conversation. “I think that is fucking cool, by the way. I just wish you didn't have to go. You'll be back right?”

  “Of course,” Morgan assured her. Mentally, she scolded herself for not telling Angela the truth from the beginning, but she didn't want to scare off the first real friend that she'd made in a very long time. Hearing Angela's easy acceptance made her heart grow even more fond of her new best friend. She gave the brunette another quick hug, and a kiss on the cheek before returning to Kole.

  “Are you ready for that dance?” Morgan shook her legs and the long leaves of her skirt rustled together with a soft swish. She had been watching the other dancers and realized the hula dance was all about the legs. It gave the illusion that the hips were making the skirt dance, but after careful observation, she knew the secret. Morgan made a circle around Kole, waving her arms gracefully to the music, and picking up speed when the music did until she was back in her original place.

  “You're great!” Kole clapped his hands together for her. “Really. You sure you haven't done that before?

  “No, I haven't,” she put her hands on his chest, then moved one to his hand and the other at his shoulder, coaxing him into a slow dance with her.

  Kole put a hand on her hip, and they began to sway to the music. “Morgan, I've learned so much this week. I can be spontaneous. I've learned to enjoy a girl without all the strings. I've also learned that there doesn't have to be sex just because you think it's going to happen.”

  Morgan nodded her head in approval. She couldn't believe he had made such a transformation. “I'm proud of you, Kole.”

  “Thank you for all you've done.” He tucked her head into his neck as they continued to sway their bodies to the soft beat of drums in the distance.

  It was nearly midnight when Kole was finally allowed to drag Morgan away from his family. His mother actually cried at the end, along with Morgan and Angela. “I hate that I can't see them tomorrow before I leave.” Morgan spoke to the open window, but Kole had heard her and didn't know what to say to make things better.

  Angela had to work a double shift the next day, and his mother had to take care of his dad since he still wasn't feeling well. Regret of never meeting him still plagued Morgan, but she hoped that over the holidays she would finally see the man himself.

  Kole reached across the seat and took her hand. “We have tonight, let's not worry about tomorrow, okay?” Morgan met his gaze and smiled, she couldn't help the happiness that he brought to her and out of her.

  The last thing she had to do was let Julianne know that she was ready, so she slowly pulled her phone from her bag and sent her a quick text. I'll check the files tonight when I get to my room and I'll call you in the morning for details. Morgan.

  Neither of them spoke for the rest of the way to the hotel, but Kole had never let go of her hand, not even when they parked in the back of the building.

  “Morgan, let's not talk about tomorrow anymore.” He put his finger under her chin and raised her head to look at him. “I just want to think about tonight.” He kissed her slowly and she melted against his lips, prolonging their embrace for as long as she could. When they finally broke free, Kole got out and ran to her door, and the perfect gentleman offered her his hand. “My lady.”

  Five minutes later they were standing in front of their hotel room. “Close your eyes.” Kole stood still, waiting for her to comply before opening it.

  “Alright, silly Hawaiian.” She giggled and covered her eyes with her hands. He looked down between her fingers to make sure she wasn't peeking, and when he was satisfied, he opened the door.

  Kole got behind her and helped guide her inside, and to the middle of the room. “Okay, open your eyes.” Morgan slowly dropped her hands
and looked around the room. She had no idea what to think.

  “Kole....” She stopped the words that followed her thoughts. We walked on the beach, ate a fabulous meal, danced, and now this. He didn't learn anything. “This is wonderful, but remember what I said?” She spread her arms around the room at what he had done while they were out.

  The lights were dimmed and two dozen red candles lined the dressers and two tables. Flower petals of every color covered the bed and floor, and a bottle of Moscato was chilling by the bed. He had even remembered the chocolate candies that she swiped from the bed every afternoon when they would return from their day, and there were dozens of them left on her pillow.

  He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. “Morgan, you said to save the special nights for someone special.” He kissed her slowly, and ran his tongue along her bottom lip. “You're the most special woman I've ever met, and if I never do this again, at least I'll know that I finally offered it to a woman who deserved it.”

  “Oh, Kole!” She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him, then felt her body being lifted and carried to the petal covered bed.

  They were laying side by side when she opened her eyes and looked at him. “There's only one thing that could make this night better.” She smiled and looked down, suggesting that he was far too over dressed for the occasion.

  “Oh, it's about to get much better.” He pulled his shirt off and threw it across the room, then sat her and up enough to relieve her of the white bikini top. Then he repeated the process of their lower halves. “Have I told you how beautiful you are?” He bent his head and took her nipple into his mouth. She grabbed the sides of his head and moaned loudly. A sharp intake of breath when he changed sides told him that he had missed doing something over the week that she clearly liked. “Ya like that, baby?” He took her back into his mouth and she nodded as her head rolled on the pillow from one side to the other.
