Belong to You(8)

I kissed him on the cheek and smiled, letting him know that I wasn't  really upset. Then I jumped down and ate my breakfast because I was sure  that Jack would make good on his word if I tempted him.         

     



 





Chapter 5




The ride to the other end of the island was amazing. Jack rented an open  air jeep and Sienna and I sang loudly along with most of the songs on  the radio. The scenery was beautiful and we all laughed and enjoyed the  ride. I found myself again thinking about how long it had been since I  felt so carefree and happy.

We arrived at the beach and went toward the beach hut to check in for  our surf lessons. The guy working looked like he just stepped out of a  surfer magazine. He hand long, sun-bleached hair, a dark tan and was  wearing sunglasses secured with a lanyard around his head loosely. As we  approached he came around the counter smiling.

"Jack, dude, long time no see." He clasped Jack's hand and pulled him into a one armed guy hug.

"Bones, how are you man? It's been a while." Jack responded.

"All good, all good. Still taking it one wave at a time. I got the  message you were coming down today to get some friends lessons so I had  to stop down and check things out. You gonna catch some waves with me  for old times sake while your friends get their school on?"

"Sounds good, as long as you let me ride the bone maker."

Bones laughed and walked around the corner. "You got it man, you know I don't let just anyone ride the bone maker."

"I'm touched." Jack held his hand over his heart in feigned sincerity.

"So who we got here, these two beautiful women have names playboy?" Bones motioned in our direction.

"This is Sydney and Sienna. And the big ugly guy is Tyler." Tyler shook  his head and laughed, the two men focused their attention on insulting  each other, but underneath there was warmth that told their true  friendship. "Where's Val, she's going to give Syd a lesson today." Jack  looked around as he spoke.

"Sorry dude, they tried to call you back, but you had already left. Val  couldn't get here … she's stuck on Maui doing a photoshoot for some suntan  lotion shit. She was supposed to be back this morning, but, Val being  Val and all, she missed her flight. But don't worry man, we hooked you  up, Guy Stokes was in town for a qualifying round for the nationals and  we got him to fill in for Val." Bones motioned toward the water to a  surfer walking our way carrying his board.

Holy. Shit. I thought I'd died and gone to surfer god heaven. The man  coming toward us was breathtaking. Tall, lean and perfectly tanned with a  chiseled face and long bleached hair pulled back in a loose pony tail.  Definitely not the kind of man I would normally be attracted to, but  that kind of man doesn't walk by all too often.

"I hope that is my instructor, hot damn." Sienna crowed, without a care  in the world that the man she was currently sleeping with was standing  right next to her. I looked to Tyler and he didn't seem the least bit  bothered by her comment.

Bones laughed. "Sorry there Sienna, Stokes is all for your friend today.  He doesn't usually give lessons, but we had to find some big guns to  fill in for Val."

"Bitch." Sienna hissed at me.

Bones and I both laughed at Sienna's response as the surfing god approached.

"Which one of you beautiful ladies is mine for the day?" Stokes flirted,  giving his full attention to Sienna and I, completely ignoring Jack and  Tyler.

"I raised my hand shyly. That would be me."

"Damn, I'm one lucky man." Stokes shook my hand, holding it longer than a normal handshake.

"I hope you go easy on me, it's my first time." I hadn't meant it to come out so flirty, but it did nonetheless.

"I always go easy on first timers, we'll take our time and go nice and slow." Sexuality poured out of his every word.

I'm pretty sure I blushed. Jack's deep voice snapped me out of my momentary bubble with the surfer god.

"Change of plans, you are with Sienna today." Jack moved closer and put his hand on the small of my back.

I turned and saw Jack's stone face. His expression and stance clearly  left no room for debate. Jack was staking his claim on me and, oddly  enough, it turned me on.

Bones shook his head and laughed. "Never thought I'd see the day dude."  He gave us all boards and Jack carried both of ours down to the water,  where we all parked our stuff on two lounge chairs. I slipped out of my  shorts and tank and found Jack watching me.

"You like what you see?" I whispered to him as we all changed.

Jack ran his fingers through his hair and leaned in to whisper back to  me. "I want to rip that little bikini off and run my tongue from that  sexy freckle on the inside of your thigh up into that sweet hole and  taste your sweet cream."         

     



 

Holy. Shit. Did he just really say that? I looked around to see if  anyone was listening but everyone else seemed to be engrossed in  conversation and oblivious to us. I felt my clit swell and my nipples  harden and I was sure that everyone on the beach knew I was turned on.  When my eyes made their way back to Jacks, he gave me a sexy smile and  arched one eyebrow, as if he was waiting for my response. He expected me  to respond and I could barely breathe I was so turned on. Instead, I  did the only thing that came into my mind. I reached up onto my tippy  toes and pressed my body into his and kissed him hard.

It took a minute after I broke the kiss to realize that everyone that  was oblivious to us a minute ago had become silent and were watching us  intently. Stokes took a deep breath and slowly looked me up and down,  not hiding his seductive gaze in the slightest. "Damn, you sure you  don't want me to give Syd a lesson dude?"

Sienna jokingly punched him and Tyler laughed. Jack, apparently, did not  find anything funny. He grabbed my hand and our boards and pulled me to  the water with a murderous look on his face.



We spent the day in the water riding the waves and either Jack was a  great teacher or I was a quick learner because I was able to stand after  only a few tries. Without having to waste any of my remaining  questions, I learned that Jack had patience and was a good teacher. We  played in the water together and eventually wound up wrapped in each  other's arms floating in the waves. On the way back to the resort, I  found my mind wandering again. When was the last time I felt so happy  and carefree? I couldn't remember. Surely, I must have felt the same  type of happiness with Michael in the beginning. I just couldn't  remember when things had changed. Michael and I didn't do outdoor sports  together and I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the simple things like  bodysurfing at the beach. For a long time I felt like that part of my  life was over. Almost as if that type of fun was for kids. But I was  beginning to realize that it didn't have to be that way.





Chapter 6




The minute we entered our room, Sienna began her inquisition. She must  have been about ready to burst with all the questions she had stored up  for me. "Holy shit Syd, that man wouldn't let another man touch you with  a ten foot pole! Normally I would think possessive was annoying, but on  that man, it is sexy as all hell. He's so into you. And speaking of  into you, spill on the sex."

The honest truth was that I wanted to share with Sienna; I just didn't  know how to do it. I had spent so much time with Michael that I never  learned to dish because I didn't have flings to dish about. Sienna, on  the other hand, made dishing a science. She could give a blow by blow of  her night that would rival the best erotica novelist. "It was awesome."  God I sucked at dishing.

"Well I could have told you that just looking at the man!" She wasn't going to accept my three word summary of my escapades.

"I guess I just don't have much to compare it to, but if I am comparing  it to sex with Michael, it's like comparing the Rolling Stones to our  8th grade band, Punk White girls." I may not be good at giving an  account of my sexual promiscuity, but I could always get my point across  to Sienna with a music analogy. "He's a bit dominating, but it's mixed  with a hint of a sexy sweetness somewhere down deep, so it isn't  overwhelming. And, it helps that he is well endowed."

After all of the years we had been friends, Sienna was a master at  reading my mind through what I didn't say, rather than the words I  spoke. "I knew it, I knew that asshole Michael had a little prick!" We  both cracked up on the bed like we were in ninth grade again.

"Just be careful Syd. This is supposed to be your rebound fling and I  don't want to see you getting hurt." It wasn't a lecture, I knew she  meant well, I didn't have much experience with men, especially men like  Jack, and I was just out of a bad breakup.

"I will Sienna. He's just made me realize that I was dead for a lot of  years, just going through the motions and not controlling my own life." I  sighed. "I didn't know how much I needed this week."
