Chapter Eleven

____________

Ariel

It takes me a long time to realize that the world is still spinning around me and that even though it felt like the stars exploded and my body broke apart things are still very much back to the way it was before. With the exception of me still having Auggie inside of me and my head resting on his shoulder. It just felt like something hugely profound happened. At least not for anyone else around us. For me, it is still moving that I not only had sex, making me no longer a virgin, but I also had the most consuming orgasm of my life not moments ago. Still profound to me.

Auggie is trailing his fingers up and down my bare back and all I want to do is fall asleep right here but his next words have me sitting up. "We have to get dressed."

"Why?" There's something about the way he says it that makes me worry.

"People are coming to the island today and I don't want them accidentally running up on you while you're naked and me have to kill one or all of them."

"What kind of people?" I'm not really liking the fact that others are about to intrude on my private paradise. Not when I was just getting used to running around naked and having sex anywhere I could think of. I was going to suggest - right after my nap that is - that we should go christen the kitchen and finish what we started in there yesterday. Now I have to put clothes on and worse than that I'm afraid I'm going to have to share Auggie's attention and I don't like that at all. Hell yeah, I'm pouting about it.

He turns his head and drops a kiss on my forehead, "People that will help keep you safe."

I pull back from him to truly take in what he's saying to me. He can take care of me without help so why are these people really coming here? Auggie must be able to tell what I'm thinking because he finally sighs heavily.

"I have some friends coming to help. The island is a big place and I want to make sure every inch of it is covered because I might have gotten word that someone is coming to pay us a visit."

I push against him, "Oh my God, Andy's coming here isn't he? Because of me?"

"No," he keeps looking at me before he says more, "he's coming because of me. He couldn't find you and I got word he was looking for you. He's using his father's resources to try to track you down so I thought I would make it easy for him. I told him exactly where to find me. I'm not sure when he's coming but I suspect sooner rather than later."

"You goaded him into following us here! To the island? The place that is supposed to be safe? Why would you do that?"

"Because I want you to be safe and this guy scares you. He's already as good as dead." His words ring in my ears. He's not going to let Andy leave this island. "He just gets to choose where I kill him - here or in his hometown. He chose here."

He takes me by the back of my head and pulls me down into a kiss, "No one scares you. No one makes you worry. Ever."

Oh my God! I think I'm in love with this man. And he plans to put himself in danger because of me. He can argue with me about it all day but it's because of me that the psycho is coming to ruin our peace and calm in this beautiful part of the world.

"All I'm saying is not to swim in the pool naked until this is all over. You don't have to worry at all."

But that's not true and I do worry. I lay my head back down on his shoulder and let him mumble sweet promises to me. I'm not stupid enough to try to do anything that would only lead to more problems for Auggie. The last thing I want to do is something insane like try to stop Andy from coming here or leave so I take the danger away from him but surely there is something I can do that will help.

I think about it all day and even when Auggie makes me forget for a little while during the night my mind still circles back to the same question - what can I do?

The next morning it's like the island knows something isn't right because it's stormy and overcast. I wake up to the sound of thunder and an empty bed. The place he used to be is still warm so I get up to find where he is. It takes me as long as it takes for my eyes to adjust to realize his shadow is at the door. He's got his arm braced against the door frame staring out at the angry ocean that seems to be rolling madly for the shore.

I go to him, wrapping my arms around his waist. He drops his down to touch my hands where they meet on his stomach pressing them closer to him before he turns around and puts his arms around me. We both know what the day may bring but neither one of us wants to talk about it. I reach up on my tiptoes and press my lips to his giving him a soft, sweet kiss.

He takes over and the kiss turns from soft to hard and demanding - yearning. I let him have my mouth as I work to push the boxers he pulled on down over his ass and to the floor. He pulls away only long enough to get rid of his shirt that I put on when I got up to go to him. With both of us naked we grasp at one another greedily. Our lovemaking becomes all hot touches and hard kisses. He trails his mouth down my neck as I rake my nails up his back. He's somehow got us back on the bed as I wrap my legs around him to pull him closer. There isn't time for foreplay this time. Neither of us wants to let the other go long enough.

He still takes the time to make sure I'm wet enough before he slips inside of me. I sigh out how good it feels having him like this. He keeps kissing my neck and mouth until I don't know if the storm is outside or inside anymore. I feel like both of us are hurtling to something big just like the storm seems to be coming for the shore. He hits the perfect area inside of me with his thick cock and I can tell I am getting closer. I arch my back off the bed pushing him even further inside of me.

As my body tenses up against his, I reach for him to pull him close. He comes willingly and I lean in to whisper that I love him. He stops moving and pulls back to stare into my eyes, searching for the truth behind my words. "I love you," I tell him again and again. Repeating it as his hips start pistoning into me again, harder and fiercer than before.

"Love you too, so much." He roars out as I convulse around him, pushing him over the edge with me. We make love at least one more time before the storm is finished and the sun wakes me up the next time. It's still not the sun I'm used to. Not that I would be used to anything here. I've only been here for three days but it already feels like home. It feels that way because of Auggie.

I try to distract myself and the fact that this time when I woke up to an empty bed he wasn't in the room with me by going into my workroom. My workroom. God, I never thought I would be able to say something like that, not for a very, very long time at least. Once I'm in there I can't concentrate and the dress I start working on for Ivy doesn't want to cooperate with my distracted mind so I meander around until I find a book in a downstairs bookshelf and a bathing suit I like and go outside to read by the pool.

It must be late evening when I finally put the book down and realize I haven't paid attention to half of what I was reading. This is the longest I have gone without talking to or seeing Auggie and it is torture to be away, even when I understand he is doing it for me. I think about what my next move might be when movement from the side of the pool where the trees are denser catches my eye.

I'm already up and putting the chair between me and him when Andy steps out of the brush like the little rodent he is. His eyes look glassed over like he's high and he looks like he hasn't slept in days. He looks crazy.

Men have been around all day long and some women too. I was surprised when Auggie introduced me to a female security officer assigned to keep an eye on me when we leave the island. Too bad she's not here right now when I'm on the island and need help. I slowly back up heading for the door but stop dead when Andy pulls out a gun.
