Chapter 76

For a moment, Jack did nothing but stare at my naked body, drinking it all in.

"Turn on the spot," he said, his voice commanding, enjoying what he could do to and with me.

I tried not to think about anything but what would follow if I pleased him. My heart was racing at my vulnerability. It was taking all my self-control not to run and put clothes back on, but I'd just told Jack I wanted to trust him, and we'd agreed on a safe word. I had to start to trust somewhere.

The world outside was growing darker, the clouds coming in overhead, making it seem almost brooding and scary. As if I'd been left behind on the island with some creature of the night, someone intent on devouring me. After he claimed me as his, of course.

Not sure if having the overactive imagination of a writer was a good thing or not, I finished my turn, facing Jack again. The bulge in his pants had grown larger, and he came closer to me.

"Do you have any idea what you do to me?" he asked, cupping my chin again.

I found myself grinning as I looked up at him, loving the words and the way he looked at me. For a moment, I could have forgotten where I was, lost in the warmth and desire in his eyes.

Jack didn't give me a chance, however, pushing me back and up against the window seat until I was tipped back onto it. I gave way beneath him as he spread my legs and made me moan at the sudden pressure against me.

Hungry for him, I yielded, relaxing as he positioned me on the seat and unzipped his pants. Within seconds his cock was inside me, thrusting deep into the slick pussy I'd offered him.

I groaned as he pounded into me hard and fast, making it clear that I was his for the taking. He was everything I wanted, and I soon orgasmed, my body tightening around him even further.

Letting out a moan at the sudden increase in pleasure, he slowed, trying to keep control as I came back down, shuddering under his assault. I closed my eyes as he continued to claim me, letting him do as he pleased and focusing on one thing. How good it felt to be full of him.

It didn't take much longer for him to join me in ecstasy, his yell loud as he thrust one last time and then stilled deep inside me.

We lay together on the long window seat for some time, our bodies still entwined, his over mine. Kissing and caressing we cooled together, and for a moment everything was right in the world.

A brilliant flash of lightning caught our attention dragging us back to the real world. Almost immediately the heavens opened, rain pouring down onto the island and pounding into the sand.

"I guess that's the storm," Jack said, but he was frowning now.

"Is it supposed to last long?" I asked, beginning to feel a little concerned. Not just for us but the others on the boat as well. They had been gone for at least an hour or two now, and it probably meant they were safe on the main island, but there was no way to be sure.

"Not too long," Jack replied as he lifted me into a sitting position beside him.

Cold air made me seek the warmth of his embrace, reaching up to him and bringing my naked body into his arms.

For a moment, I had Jack's attention again, but the loud roll of thunder that followed the lightning drew our attention outside once more.

"It's still a fairly long way off. I should find out how close it's going to come."

I nodded, letting him pull away. Although he'd appeared calm about the storm earlier in the day, he wore a worried expression now and quickly made his way toward a laptop to check the news.

"There's a storm warning now," he said a few minutes later. "It's a little early in the season for a hurricane, but the storms can still be on the rougher side. We should keep an eye on it."

With no idea how concerned I should be and feeling incredibly vulnerable with nothing on, I went over to him. He put his arms around me again, holding me close.

"I'm a little cold," I said, his body warm against mine. "And I'm feeling…anxious, I guess."

Jack studied me for a moment, holding me close to him as if trying to decide whether I could put clothes back on. It felt a little strange to be giving him so much control, and I definitely hadn't decided if I fully trusted him yet, but if I was ever going to, I needed to start somewhere.

"What are you anxious about?" he asked a moment later. "Maybe I can help."

I exhaled, slightly disappointed that I wasn't being told to just get dressed. Was it really fun for me to give myself to Jack like this and let him decide? Or was I just worried about everything?

Without intending to, I looked at the storm as another wave of thunder rolled over.

"I'm worried about that," I said. "I've never seen a storm like that, and the island is so…exposed."

"Yeah, I was pretty nervous with my first storm here, too. The house is sturdy, and the storms look fiercer than they are. We'll keep an eye on the warnings, though. There's a storm shelter underneath the house."

Jack's words helped. He sounded calm again, and it had the same effect on me. It was a relief to know he had taken it into account. I also felt grateful he hadn't mocked my worries but listened and told me he'd felt similar.

"I think I'd like to put clothes on until the storm is over," I said. "It's weird being naked while all this is going on."

Instantly, Jack frowned.

"I won't force you to do anything," he said. "But I'd hoped you'd be comfortable with me. That you'd trust me like this. We could go toward the back of the house where it's more sheltered, and I could try and take your mind off it if you think it would help?"

There was no hesitation as I nodded. He'd thought of a way to help me and listened to me. I was grateful, even if I wasn't entirely calm yet.

Taking my hand, he led me through the house to a gorgeous smaller sitting room and sat himself down on the sofa before pulling me down on his lap. From my position, straddled across his lap, I couldn't see any windows, only hear the wind as it whistled through the trees and around the house. It was also quieter and a little darker.

Almost immediately, I felt both calmer and less exposed.

"Better?" he asked, genuinely sounding like it mattered whether I said yes.

I nodded, feeling as if I'd possibly made a fuss out of nothing, but any more cares and worries I had were banished as he pressed a kiss to my lips and held me close again.

Despite all the sex we'd already had, I started to warm again and leaned into him. A moment later Jack pulled away and reached for a small controller on the stand at the end of the sofa. He flicked some music on, turning it up a little to help mask the noise of the storm even more.

Grinning at the seductive tunes he'd picked, I leaned into him again. It seemed Jack wanted more fun with me as well.
