Chapter 22
Kallie
Kallie lifted her head toward the sky as her hands fell to Ash’s chest. He felt so good inside of her. Filling her. Holding her. Gripping her as tightly as he could. She felt safe in his arms. Beautiful straddling his body. Like a goddess of the sea dominating the god of thunder from the skies. His hands spilled up her curves as she gasped, her eyes fluttering open as she took in the expanse of the stars above her. So many twinkling lights. So many stars cheering them on. Clapping and singing out as she rolled her hips against his body.
But the most beautiful sight she could behold was underneath her.
Ash, with his hair painted in sweat and his hands rocketing up her body. Like he couldn't get enough of her. Couldn't feel enough of her against the palms of his hands.
She crashed down into him and his body rose up, sitting them upright as she rolled against him. Their bodies, in time with the beating of her heart, ground together as they melded into one. She hung onto his shoulder with one hand and fell out with the other, hanging her breasts toward the skin as he wrapped his arm around her. He thrusted into her, spreading his legs as Kallie fell into the confines of his body. Panting and sweating as the night draped over them like a calming weighted blanket.
“Kallie. Sweet Kallie. Don’t stop what you’re doing.”
His grunts. His groans. They were all music to her ears. The crashing of the waves against the boat and the rhythmic rocking of their bodies. Her toes curled and her heart slammed against her chest. Her hand hooked into his muscles as his grip grew tighter around her. She was floating and falling. Swimming and flying. Living and dying, all at the same time. All against the body of a man she’d come to cherish. To respect. To care for, even in a time of great loneliness in her life.
All against Ash.
She threw her arms around him and took him back down to the cushion. She crashed her lips into his and he rolled her over, tossing her leg beyond his shoulder. He folded her in half, opening her up to him as his cock slid deep into her body. Rolled against her pulsing clit as his balls smacked her ass. Her hands twisted into his mahogany hair, soaked in the darkness and dripping with sweat. She was coated in him. His scent hung in the air around her. Her eyes locked with his and she couldn’t close them. Couldn’t disconnect. Couldn’t put any space between them.
She didn’t want space between them.
Faster he rolled, until skin slapping skin drowned out the sound of the water splashing against the yacht. Kallie moaned and cried out, her back arching into him as his lips fell to her breasts. He sucked on her nipples and pulled them between his teeth, tugging on them and sending a rush of electricity surging through her body. Her pussy was pulsating around him. Dragging him farther into her depths as his hips stuttered against her body. Her leg quivered and her toes curled, and the colors of the coral reef suddenly burst in her vision.
She wanted to tell him she loved him. She felt it, deep in the pit of her gut. A raging emotion filled with so many uncommunicated thoughts. Passions. Desires and hopes for her world. Ash filled parts of her she didn’t know were empty. Spilled himself into cups that were sucked dry by her ex. By her schedule. By her friends who pushed her to do things they thought were right. By her parents who hovered and her college that almost sank her and her endless need to have everything organized down to the colors of the shirts in her damn closet.
She wanted to cry it out into the night and drench his skin with how she felt.
But she settled for grabbing his face and slamming his lips into hers.
Her body rocketed over the edge, shaking as her orgasm rushed over her body. Her vision tu
nneled and her back bowed. Like an overtuned violin neck ready to snap at a moment’s notice. Goose bumps pulled so tightly onto her skin it hurt, and fluids gushed between her legs. Soaking Ash as he sank his cock into her. He shivered. Groaned. Grunted and rutted against her. Ground against her clit and sent a blinding, white-hot pleasure surging throughout her veins.
She couldn't breathe.
Couldn’t speak as her pussy clamped down around his dick.
She felt him spilling into her. Filling her with his mark. His scent. His essence. Her body plummeted to the cushion and the darkness crept in around her vision. Threatening to swallow her under as her body jolted with shock.
Ash collapsed on top of her, blanketing her as their arousal spilled from between her legs. She could feel how hard his heart was beating against his chest. His body shivered against her and she lazily wrapped her arms around him, fighting off the darkness so she didn’t pass out. Her orgasm had been blinding, but his body left her breathless.
Unable to communicate the love she knew she had for him.
Kallie was falling for him. And she was almost convinced he was falling for her as well. She could see it from time to time in his eyes. Looking at her when he thought she wasn’t paying attention. And the way he looked at her—got lost in her during their pleasure underneath the stars—she was almost convinced.
Almost convinced this could last past her vacation.
Maybe it didn’t have to end. Maybe she could abandon her life at home and stay on the island with him. She would, if he asked. She’d travel the world with him on this yacht if he wanted. Ash had opened up something within her. Something that had been aching to break free. A longing for adventure she had buried so deeply within her that even she had forgotten it existed. It wasn’t just Ash, or his body, or his cock, or his romance. It wasn’t simply all the things he could show her and how he called her his “Pretty Kallie.” It was the respect she could feel he had for her. It was the care he took with her, even though she was a stranger. It was the way he was patient with her and kind to her and so unjudging in his opinion of her.
It was all those things that drew her to him. That magnetized her body and convinced her to never let go.
She fell asleep underneath Ash, his dick still sheathed within her warmth. She fell asleep underneath the stars with her legs spread and filled with him. His steady breathing against the crook of her neck lulled her to sleep. The way she felt safe underneath him made her comfortable shutting her eyes. She slipped into a deep slumber, taken over by thoughts of a life she could share with him.
A life of travel and adventure. A life of sunset coves and snowy days. A life of jobs that earned them enough to travel and fuel their adventure and not a care in the world as to the realities of home. She dreamed of working one month and then taking another off. Taking her earnings and traveling side by side with Ash. Taking his hand and allowing him to show her all the wonders of the world.
Ash dominated her dreams.
And then, she woke up.
