I let Eliana help me to my feet, and she closes her eyes and inhales a deep breath. This wasn’t how I imagined the day to turn out. I was scared as fuck when Adam and Eliana didn’t return right away and then relieved when they showed up. I thought I’d spend the rest of the day staying close to her but not because I ended someone’s life.
Neither of us speaks as we stroll along the shore, heading who knows where. Eliana swings our hands between us, and I stare at her as she searches our surroundings.
“I’m sorry, Eliana,” I say, breaking the silence.
She squeezes my fingers. “You don’t have to apologize. I just hope that you didn’t do that because of me. I would’ve done it if that were the case. You’re a doctor, for Christ’s sake. You save people.”
I scrub my freehand on the back of my neck, the warm sunshine heating me up despite the crisp breeze blowing in from the sea. “I chose to do it. You didn’t influence my decision. I might be a doctor...at least, I used to be before my license was suspended. But I’m also a man who believes in mercy when asked for it. This was one of those circumstances. I saw whatever the fuck happened to Freddy was happening to Jack. He was in a lot of pain, and he was suffering. There was nothing else we could’ve done, especially with his injuries.”
She remains quiet, thinking over my words. I turn my gaze toward the waves, watching the foam crawl toward us only to be dragged back out. There is no other land on the horizon. This island is isolated from the rest of the world. I haven’t seen a plane or a boat or anything like that either.
“What do you think the others are going to do?” Her soft voice draws my attention back to her, and she glides her tongue over her bottom lip before she sucks it into her mouth. “I wonder if we should separate from them. I have a feeling they’re going to act as if we’re savages or something.”
She might be right. I don’t know anyone well enough to make an educated guess about what they would do.
“Whatever happens, I won’t let anybody hurt you. We need to stick together. I know we don’t know each other well, but I feel that we see things the same way.” I can’t resist reaching up and combing my fingers through her dark tresses, pushing them behind her ear. “What do you say?”
“I’m here now, aren’t I?” Eliana shifts on her feet, reaching out to press her hand over mine. “You did the right thing. I’m glad you did it. If that were me...” She lets her voice fade.
“Same for me. If that ever happened, do what you have to do.” I study her brown eyes, the bright sunlight bringing out flecks of gold in their depths.
She laughs, the sound sexy and breathless. “This is all so crazy. I can’t believe we’re making a mercy pact.”
“Should we seal it with a kiss?” My question could ruin everything, but there’s something about the new lightness in her voice untainted by what happens around us that I want to test. Like she said, she is here with me and not them.
She keeps her undivided attention on me despite hearing the others yelling at each other in the distance. Without a word, she stands up on her tiptoes, closing the space to me. I lean in and lock my lips to hers, feeling the softness of her pouty mouth against mine. The saltiness of her kiss reminds me of the seawater yet there’s still a hint of sweetness from the fruit she seems to favor over anything else.
I don’t get carried away, knowing that if I do, she will feel exactly what she does to me. Being so close to her beautiful, naked body fills me with so much lust that I imagine picking her up and pressing her back against the palm tree to fuck her how I want.
She moans, deepening her kiss and traveling her hands up my chest and to my shoulders.
Fuck. I’m going to regret this. Pulling away, I force myself to take a step back before she feels my cock against her body.
“If you keep kissing me like that, I’m going to want more,” I murmur, grazing my fingers over her jaw. “I could really use that kind of distraction. And you are just so...it’s hard to explain, Eliana. You’re gorgeous and empathetic. Smart. You hold your ground, and I respect your ability to get shit done.”
A smile lights her face. “You’re not making denying you easy.” Gliding her hand over my shoulder, she explores by bicep, working her way down until she shifts her fingers to my side.
I hold still under her touch, savoring the sensation of her body so close to mine. My nuts throb in anticipation, and I prepare myself to take this wherever she leads. Stretching closer again, she kisses me while pressing her tits flush against my chest. And fuck. It’s been a while since I’ve had a woman in my arms. No one wants a man with a possible record hanging over his head. They usually don’t go for my type of compassion either. But Eliana? This fucking island? It gets to me.
“Eliana,” I murmur, trying to break away from her mouth. “If you don’t want to fuck, we need to stop.”
Her fingers wrap around my cock, stroking me in a way that weakens my knees. That was not what I was expecting, and I moan deep in my throat, picking her up with one hand to carry her toward the tree line. I prop her back against a tall palm tree, keeping us upright because fuck the sand, and she adjusts herself, aligning our bodies, letting me rub my tip to her wetness.
“Are you sure?” I ask, breaking from her mouth to kiss down her throat. “We don’t have protection.”
“I have an IUD,” she says, stretching her neck, silently begging for more. “Now fuck me. We need something good to happen today.”
She’s not wrong. This moment with her will ensure I forget the day, even for a little while. Her warm pussy already feels so incredible, her lips welcoming me in as I tease her, not giving her more than an inch. I want to savor her and let her feel every inch of me. I want her to ask for more quicker. I want her shaking until I thrust hard and deep into her.
I kiss her more desperately, rocking slowly. She moans and nips my bottom lip, squirming like crazy. She slides her hand down my abs, rubbing her clit for a moment before trying to get me to slide all the way in as her body drips in hot, sexy excitement.
“Eliana, don’t.” The sharp tone of an unfamiliar voice snaps through the air, startling both of us. I nearly lose my hold and push into her. I can’t concentrate on protecting her with my cock dying to feel more.
“What the hell!” I shout, slipping out of her. “Stay the fuck back.”
I pull away from Eliana, spinning her around to set her on her feet. A man stands within the trees, the shade and thick vegetation obscuring his face, but I don’t recognize him. How does he know Eliana’s name? Why is he creeping around? I’m pissed. Furious. Fucking voyeur.
Muscles rippling across the asshole’s body. He ignores me, stepping over a fallen trunk. “We don’t know if he’s worthy of you,” the fucker continues, striding closer. “You can’t be with him.”
