I'm fighting to maintain my composure and act unaffected, but I know Kellan. I know how persistent he can be, how charming and slippery. I fear the worst, because if he finds just the smallest loophole, he'll use it and that would be the end of me.
"I'm not yours." I insist. "I won't be."
"You're mine Viven. I'm the man that has kissed you senseless. The one that has f*cked you just right to have you begging for more."
I swallowed. "I didn't beg."
"Right. Demanded, purred" He supplies. My tummy grows warm from his words, my heart thundering behind my chest walls that I fear he'll hear it.
Kellan licks the shell of my ear, moving down to the nape of my neck and I squirm beneath him.
"I know you want this sweetheart. I know you enjoy what we do together. Just say the words I want to hear."
"No."
"You're so headstrong." He chuckles darkly. "It's one of the things I like about you."
He lowers his head to my puckered n*****s, swirling his tongue around the buds. I tremble, our fingers still entangled with each other, my heart racing the speed of a car.
I bite my tongue and squeeze my eyes shut as he ravages my already-wet body with his own. "I know you want to Viven. I know you want to give in but you're scared. I won't hurt you." A hand leaves mine snaking up to tickle my neck. "At least not beyond your threshold of pleasure."
All of this was crazy. We didn't even know each other for him to say such things.
"Say it Viven."
"No." I twist my head away, opening my eyes to stare out the window.
Kellan was right. I was terrified beyond my wits of what could become of us. And his need to be possessive or protective of me leaves me with so many questions. Watson was once like this, treated me as if I was the most valuable person on earth. Then he turned into a monster and I became his little possession to toy with and show to the world at whim.
Kellan's hold tightens on my neck drawing my attention back to him. My fear heightens as I meet the fire of his gaze.
"I won't hurt you Viven. But god do I want to f*ck you." He murmurs pressing his mouth against mine.
I can't hide my laughter at his stupidity, granting him access to the recess of my mouth. Kellan kisses me as if he's famished, leaving my knees weak and my s*x soaked.
Both of them were not the same men.
I have to remember that.
Or at least give Kellan the benefit of the doubt. Why would a stranger put their lives on the line for a nobody like me, a plain o'l Jane?
"Save me from myself woman. Say it."
"You're crazy."
Kellan hums nibbling on my lips as he hoists me against his waist. I'm so worked up that I can't help but rub myself against him, the tension becoming unbearable between my thighs.
I should have known the war that would have started, Kellan's mischievous hands stroking my thighs. My eyes narrow on his, his smile spreading across his face as he waggles his eyebrows.
"Don't! "
"You'll feel much better." He explains as if he can feel the ache at my s*x.
"Kellan..." I warn, squirming and attempting to get away. His hands stretch my bikini bottom to the side, threading his greedy fingers through my soaked folds.
"Christ Viven," He chokes out. "And you wanted to keep me away."
"I.. I... It's the pool, not me."
"Liar." He proceeds to plunge a pair of fingers inside me, twisting and stroking. "Baby, I know you inside out."
"Kellan please," I begged, the bastard unwilling to hear my pleas moving his fingers to that damn sensitive spot forcing my hips to jerk against his hand. "Kella... Kelll... Oooh."
"That's it baby, " He cooes. "Purr for me."
"You asshole." I cried flummoxed.
"Say it," he growls nibbling my lips. "Say it Viven. You're mine. To f*ck and to hold. To tease and bite as I will."
"Ugh sounds like a miserable situation." I groaned.
"Only if I'm not pleasuring you enough sweetheart. In that case you definitely need to tell me. " He purs. "Now say it!"
A harsh bite against my lips leaves me squealing and I tighten my feet around his waist.
"I'm yours," I grumbled begrudgingly. "But no one can know about this and it's no strings attached."
He scoffs, c*****g his head to the side as his beautiful gaze takes me in. "My god are you terrified of me. Agreed, but those terms will not hold for very long."
Kellan lowers me from his hold, and I miss his fingers immediately. I waddle away, searching my bag for something Kellan-appropriate while he watches my ass.
"Is this fine? "
He glances me up and down licking his lips. He's such a brute.
"Not exactly but I'm willing to compromise. "
Kellan licks his fingers, eyes glued to mine, mirth dancing within them and I rush through the door with need screaming between my thighs.
My god, he's insatiable. What the hell did I just agree to?
"Damn Harley reeling jock. " I hissed.
"Better than a Ferrari driving Prick. " Kellan reminds me. "It's not showing off if you can back it up, sweetheart. "
I make it back to the pool, Kellan on my heels still and the girls giggle behind their hands as they watch me draw near. I know they're talking about me and my change in attire. What I honestly hope they don't notice is how worked up I am after being fingered into submission by the brat behind me.
"Ooo back so early?" Bre cooes at us. "Don't tell me you ran away from a good spanking?"
"More along the lines of me allowing her to leave with only a warning.... This time," Kellan chips in before I could answer, winking at Bre as well.
"Not to mention the change of wardrobe. Love the body suit by the way." Kasey chortles.
"It's always better to make a man guess what's there than flaunt it all." I retort plopping myself atop a floater, huffing as I fold my hands against my bosom.
"That's quite hypocritical of you to say Vi, seeing as you were flaunting it only moments ago." Kasey reminds us.
"Well now they're able to see nothing."
"Or very little."
"Men do like mysteries" Jon joins in jokingly.
"And apparently black eyes too," Kellan grumbles beneath his breath, and I swallow, glancing around to see if our friends had heard him.
"We should get something to eat now then head to the beach," Bre decides, gripping her husband's shoulder. "If I'm getting anymore wrinkled, itsby seawater."
"Then the last one out is buying all the food! " Kasey yell ditching her floater and I laugh aloud, swimming away too.
****
I'm quiet the entire time sitting against the sand watching as the others enjoyed their time in the water. The sun was warm enough to dry my wrinkled skin while soaking up some vitamin E.
"What the-" I mumbled to myself when i'm suddenly douced in shade. "Who said the sun could go in now?!"
"Maybe it's got enough of your exposed skin." A voice eerily whisphers at my ear.
I shriek, scurring away when I open my eyes to find an unimpressed Kellan eyeing me.
"What's your problem now?" I hisses. "I covered up like you asked."
He stood folding hus arms that's speckled with sand, his soaked clothes clinging to his body, accenuating every arensal in his possesion.
And he was a yummy specimen indeed.
I smack myself in attempt not to drool at him.
"I said I wasn't happy but I'll compromise."
"F**k off!"
"Whenever you're ready sweetheart. You make the rules." He winks going off towards the bungalows.
"Where the hell are you going?"
"To harrass little old ladies." He calls back flipping me off. "I've got things to do love. I'll be back later. Don't worry."
"As if I'd ever worry about you." I snickered.
"Good girl."
The balls on this man. He honestly thinks I'd sit and worry about his egotistical ass? Because I've got nothing else to do all day.
"Hey Vi!" Bre called to me. "Come join us."
I'm snapped from my musing, eyes moving towards the rowdy bunch.
What the hell! Did Kasey find a new guy to play with?
"Uh, no thanks. I'll warm the sand from here." I answer her.
"Have you lost your mind?"
"No. Plus you're all playing beach ball. I'm the odd one out."
"Isn't Kellan coming back?" She enquires.
"No. He claims to have things to do."
"Fine, fine." She muses. "Just make sure you don't drop the ball on our points. Okay."
There's a roll of thunder and flash of lightening sometime later and I don't recall ever seeing gray clouds in the sky.A whistle blows loud and strong from the direction of the guard's base, signalling for everyone to leave the water.
Only my little quads are still fighting back and forth with the beach fall.
"Guys!"
"Guy!!" I scream louder.
"What! " they yelled back, both group determjnes to win the stupid little game, even if it cost their lives apparently.
"Time to get out of the water. "
"Good girl Vi, distract the new guy, show your racks. "
I gwak but then huffed, marching bavk the way we came.
"Fine, play the stupid lityle game and die from getting hit by lightening in the water. Seeif I care. "
I dug my feet deeper in the sand marching away but their still boxing the poor ball back and forth. Folding fist, I rush back, knocking the ball away before glaring at the idiots.
"Out of the water now. Orwe're all going home. " I threatened." Yes even you new guy. I'm done messing around. "
"You, you want you catch up for dinner later?" Jon queries chuckling while the others grumble behind us.
The rain had descended harder, leaving me now soaked to the bone, that of which I was tediously attempting to avoid.
And would have gotten away with it, if someone didnt decide to throw reason through the window. They're just lucky I love them- well except the stranger.
"No, I need a nap from the stroke you all just gave me acting like children. "
"Is it because Kellan left you all on your lonesome?" Kasey jeers.
"Can we not talk about the jock?"
"Oo, so you do admit he's hot."
"I admit that he's a jock. " I retort.
"A yummy gummy bear Jock. Weknow what you mean. "
"Bre! " I scream stomping my feet.
"I'll see you later Vi, love you! " Bre exclaims from behind.
Ugh, I could slap her pretty little face.
My head throbs from all if the crazy thoughts going through it. Just reeling from knowing I've made the worst decision known to women, saying yes to Kellan. Iwasn't that woman he had on her knees. What if I couldn't satisfy his libido, because that man isn't human.
I rest my head our shared door lamenting what could be and what isn't. With a final sigh I release the lock, placing a foot inside only to pause half way in. I'm speechless as I gaze at him, lost for words taking in his half nacked body and the bloody machine he held in his hand.
God where did I go wrong choosing a lunatic to sleep with?!
"Oh my God, what the hell are you doing with a gun in here?!" I screamed pasting myself against the door hyperventilating while the maniac stood in his towel wrapped around his torso, still peeking through the window.
"What does it look like I'm doing?!" He asked having the audacity to sound annoyed.
"We're on vacation you nut!"
He goes to pin me with a smirk. "You're on vacation I'm not". Another glance through our window. "I've noticed that you haven't been sleeping well and I know it's not an issue with me since you've often shimmied into my arms before scurrying away in the morning."
My mouth falls im mortification. I never ventured close to him to cuddle. Never.
"How do I know it's not you who cuddles close to me?! "
"That's a given, it's the perks of sleeping with a woman."
"You're incorrigible."
"And you're quite naive."
I fold my hands, glaring in his direction. "Where the hell did you get a gun from Kellan!"
"I rented it." He responds casually.
"For what?!" I asked my voice shrill.
"Like I said you haven't been sleeping well and after that run-in with that i***t, I doubt things will improve."
My hands wrapped immediately around my person.
"You...you saw Watson today?"
Kellan nods and I take a million steps back.
"And you think a gun will help this situation?" I pace around in circles. "This is a disaster. This is a disaster!."
"Viven calm down."
"Don't tell me to calm down!" I shouted at him.
I can't deal with this. I couldn't live like this. I might have agreed to do this whole pairing-up thing but not with a psychopath. Especially not with him. I threw my hands in the air hurrying out of the room to find my friends.
"Thought you were gonna sleep," Bre says as I burst through the door looking super annoyed.
"That lunatic!" I start.
"You keep raving about him and swear you don't find him attractive" Kasey says laughing. "Ain't fooling anyone Hunny".
"I'm not raving," Bre waggles her eyes and I pout. "I don't rave about him. He's a madman. That's the person you all want me to spend the entire week with? You claimed he was an upstanding citizen. That I'll maybe like or tolerate him. He's insufferable!" I stomp my feet and both girls stare at me wide-eyed before bursting into laughter.
"Of course, he's an upstanding citizen Vi," Bre says wiping a tear. "You're my best friend I wouldn't lie to you. Though, "She taps her cheek. "He shouldn't have a weapon since he left jail three weeks ago."
What!
My eyes narrowed on both of them. "He left jail three weeks ago. "
Bre nods her head like a bobble doll.
"Yeah. "
I raise my eyebrows finding it hard that she's supportive of that kind of behavior.
"Look Vi, fine background story. Kellan broke his ex-current boyfriend's jaw and a few ribs after they had a confrontation when he caught her cheating, okay. Anyone would have beaten his ass. They pressed charges and he preferred to spend the time than pay the money. "
I rolled my eyes. "And that's the type of guy you're willing to set me up with? Seriously, what have I done to you?!"
Kasey grabs my arm pulling me unto the bed with them and I groan, wondering why my breasts were so tender.
"Listen you're trying to avoid your ex as well. Don't be so complacent. "
"He was waving a gun around, " My friend's mouth fell at my statement. "Okay maybe I'm exaggerating but he had it out."
"Hot and knows how to wield a weapon, " Kasey fans herself in mock heat. "I'm jealous."
"Fine, then you can have him as your companion for the week."
"No," Bre says sitting up. "You're already familiar with each other and if Kellan wanted to hurt you, he'd have done it already. Maybe he likes you."
"Please kill me already," I say dropping posteriorly into the mattress.
