“Why would you think that?”
“You’re so handsome.” I shrugged. “And you’re rich.”
“Those are the two least important qualities in a man.”
“I never said they were important. They’re not what I look for in a man.”
“Good.” He leaned down and kissed me. “I don’t look for those qualities in a man either,” he joked, his eyes glinting with amusement.
“Are you mad that I didn’t tell you I knew Bridgette better than I let on earlier?”
“No, I understand why you didn’t tell me.” I bit my lower lip and stared at him for a few seconds.
“But . . . ?” His eyes narrowed as he surveyed my face.
“You’re making it hard for me to trust you, Jakob. First, our accidental meeting at the coffee shop might not have been so accidental, then we both get kidnapped, then I find out you’re in the process of trying to buy Bradley Inc., then I find out that your ex-assistant is my ex-boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend who hates me. And then to make it all worse, I find out that you actually kind of know David. To top it off, there’s another guy on the island with us that has just disappeared into thin air. And we’re getting more threatening notes.”
“What do you mean, more?”
“Nothing.”
“Bianca?”
“I got notes before I was kidnapped as well.”
“What sort of notes?”
“Threatening notes.”
“Like death threats?”
“Not exactly.” I shook my head. “And I guess, I shouldn’t say notes, it was one note.”
“What did it say?”
“Something about two people, one surviving and one being destroyed.”
“I see.” I watched as his shoulders stiffened and his hands squared into fists.
“It’s fine. It didn’t scare me.”
“We need to get off of this island. I promise, I’ll help you find out whatever you need to know.”
“What do you get though?”
“I get the truth.”
“I’m worried about Steve.” I looked at the dark green mysterious jungle behind us. “What if he’s lost?”
“I doubt he’s lost.”
“What do you think happened to Steve?” I whispered again, and touched the healing cut on his cheek.
“I don’t know, but I promise I won’t let him harm you.”
“He didn’t seem dangerous.” I shivered and moved forward to kiss his cheek.
“Looks can be deceiving. We can’t be too careful.”
“I know.” I yawned. “I just wish I . . .” I stopped talking as his hand reached out behind my head and pulled me toward him. His eyes sought mine and I stared at his lashes and eyebrows. They were perfectly groomed. His stubble had grown in even more, and he was close to having a beard. He looked even sexier with his rough look. All of a sudden I wasn’t so tired anymore. I reached up and brushed some sand off of his shoulders. His skin was hot beneath my fingertips, and I enjoyed the slight shock that vibrated through my body each time I touched him. I looked down at his chest and held my breath; his body showed off a perfect bronze tan, and I was envious of how smooth and silky his skin felt and looked.
“Are you tired?” His fingers ran down my cheek and to my lips.
“A little.” My tongue darted out and licked his finger as it trailed across my lower lip.
“That’s good,” he said, and then leaned down toward me, gathering me in his arms as he lowered both of us to the ground. As soon as we hit the sand, his lips descended onto mine. His tongue entered my mouth smoothly, and my fingers ran through his hair eagerly. He groaned against my mouth, and I felt his fingers tracing down the side of my body as he lowered himself on top of me. He grabbed me and rolled me onto my side, and his hand pushed my leg up as he slid one of his legs between mine. I could feel his hardness pressed up against me, and I moaned.
“You’re so sexy,” he muttered, and I felt his fingers undoing my bra. He slid the straps down my arms and then threw it onto the sand. He pulled away from me for a second to stare at my breasts, and his breathing became loud and raspy. His fingers reached for my breasts and touched them gingerly. I closed my eyes and rested my head back on the sand as he caressed my nipples.
“Oh!” I cried out as he lowered his lips to my right breast and sucked. A feeling of desire ran through my stomach as he nibbled on one breast and squeezed the other one with his fingers. Then he kissed back up my chest and to my neck, before licking a trail up from my collarbone back to my lips.
“I could taste you all night,” he groaned as he kissed me again. My hands ran to his back and then to his chest. My fingers ran down his abs and then along the side of his stomach, enjoying the hard yet silky feel of his skin. He pushed me onto my back, and his fingers slipped between my legs, rubbing me softly over my panties. My legs parted more at his touch, and I moaned as his fingers increased their pressure against me. His eyes stared into mine as he slipped his fingers into my panties, and his finger rubbed my clit. “You’re so wet.” He groaned against my lips and increased the pressure of his fingers. “I have to taste all of you.” He slipped his fingers out of my panties and kissed down my stomach and stopped right below my belly button. He glanced back up at me, and I nodded eagerly, not wanting to think too hard about what he was about to do. His mouth continued kissing, and he caught my panties between his teeth and tugged them down. I lifted my hips slightly so he could pull them off more easily, and I felt a whoosh of fresh air down below when he succeeded. He sat up slightly to pull my panties off my ankles, and then he leaned forward and spread my legs apart.
“This is okay?” He looked down at me with a questioning look, and I nodded up at him. Within seconds his face was buried between my legs, and his tongue was lapping up my juices eagerly. I groaned and closed my eyes as I reached down and grabbed the top of his head.
“Oh, Jakob,” I cried out as his tongue entered me and his lips sucked down on me. I gripped the top of his hair and bucked my hips under him. I felt so wet and his tongue felt so good inside me. He moved his tongue in and out furiously, and I could feel the climax building up inside me. “I’m going to come!” I cried out, and spread my legs even wider. That seemed to turn him on even more, and his hands grabbed my hips and pulled me even closer to his face. He withdrew his tongue from inside of me and flicked my clit back and forth with his tongue before entering me again. I screamed as I came, my body shaking and trembling as the climax took over.
