Dangerous Place For Love(8)
They hadn’t washed after last night’s lovemaking and she knew she’d see the evidence on her thighs and his body. Darkness was a great disguise for many things and she didn’t want to blush so early in the morning.
She kept her eyes firmly locked on his. He, however, let his gaze roam her body.
“You look so fucking tasty,” he murmured, appreciatively.
“You like what you see?”
“I more than like it. Look at these tits. Ripe and red from my touch last night.” He cupped a breast, his thumb rubbing over the sensitive area.
Last night he must have flicked a switch because her body was already responding to his touch.
“No more of this though. We got to get cleaned.” Kelly squealed as he lifted her up easily. She clung to his neck.
“Erik Coldwell, put me down right this instant,” she demanded. He chuckled and she had no choice but to cling tighter. “I’m too heavy.”
“You’re light as a feather.”
“This isn’t funny Erik.”
“Nonsense. I’m carrying my woman to her early morning bath.”
Her heart skipped a beat.
“Your woman?”
He paused on the threshold of the sea.
“Yes. After last night you’ll always be my woman. Never forget it, Kelly. You’re mine.”
She smiled and didn’t argue. Who would argue when a handsome man declared you his?
The moment they were in the shallow part of the sea, her eyes widened as he sat down with her in his lap. He gazed into her eyes. She was hypnotised but he opened her legs and she finally shifted her gaze down below.
“What are you doing?”
“Taking care of my woman.”
Her legs opened wide and she saw the mixture of their love making on the tops of her thighs and in her pubic hair. She turned her gaze back to him as he still watched her and gasped when his hand wiped away all traces. He didn’t go inside but he washed her as best he could.
“I’ll always take care of you.” He leaned down and laid a gentle kiss on her lips. Kelly glanced down at her body to see he’d washed everything.
Erik insisted upon carrying her back up to the small camping place where he finally put her down.
“You know I can walk,” she said. A knot in her throat was hard to swallow. The last person who truly cared for her was her mother. Erik’s steamy looks and penetrating gazes spoke more to her than anyone else’s in her whole life.
“I like having you in my arms.” He sat down beside her and offered a coconut.
“I can’t wait until we can have a proper cooked breakfast,” she confessed sipping the milk and biting into the sweet flesh.
“Bacon and eggs?”
“With sausage and some hash browns. What about steak for dinner?”
“I like steak with mushrooms?”
“Yeah, I’d have a nice piece of steak with mushrooms, grilled tomatoes and cauliflower cheese.”
“Cauliflower cheese? Serious honey, steak needs to be eaten with large portions of fries and onion rings,” he argued.
Kelly giggled. This was the first real conversation they’d had.
“Have you ever tried it?” she asked.
“No.”
“Then don’t knock it till you tried it. Tell you what, when we get off this island alive and in one piece, I’ll cook you a nice medium rare steak with tomatoes, mushrooms and my homemade cauliflower cheese. Is that a date to you?”
“You know how to cook?”
Kelly reached out and hit him on the chest. “Of course, dummy.”
“Then call it a date,” he laughed.
“So what else do you like to do?” she asked him. Kelly wanted to know more about the man she was falling for. Erik Coldwell wasn’t the cold-hearted killer she’d believed him to be but a man with many talents. One being his cock but she wanted to know more about him than what he can do with his organ in the bedroom.
“Let’s see. I like to go hiking, swimming and occasionally jump out of planes for the sheer fun of it.”
“Seriously, you knew what you were doing up there?”
“Not a clue but it’s been a while since I last jumped out of one. Pleased I didn’t bloody hurt you to be honest.”
“Okay, reading. Do you like to read?”
“Kelly, honey what is with the twenty questions?”
“I want to know a bit more about the man I let inside my body.” Silence met her answer and she gazed up to see him watching her intently.
“Okay. If you want to know more about me then I want to know more about you.”
“There’s not much to know about me.”
“I’ll be the judge of that.”
Kelly nodded and ate the last bit of her coconut. He offered her another but she refused. Her tummy was already in knots.
