What I Crave

Frivolous Expeditions

Envy

We landed at 5:45 pm and our driver got us to the house by 6:30. I introduced Nova to Ivan. I told her he was a friend of the family which wasn't a lie. He was friends with my brother Adonis. They were both business partners at Henry's Tech company. The company was passed down to Ivan and Ivan made my brother his COO. My brother is second in charge at his best friends company and they both have a brotherly bond. While Ivan settled in me and Nova went out to the beach to walk.

"What do you think of Ivan so far?"

She looked at her feet and pulled her shawl closer to her body.

"I think he's intense. I get the strangest feeling that I've met him. But I don't know. I might be imagining things."

I wanted to tell her. I did. But I knew Ivan would be upset. So I tried to change the subject by asking her questions.

"I have a personal question.."

She glanced at me and nodded.

"Okay. I'm all ears."

We continued to walk through the water. The temperature was dropping and it was getting colder by the minute. She pulled me closer to her because I assume she saw me shivering.

"Are you attracted to women?"

She didn't hesitate to answer this question.

"Of course I am. I've dated plenty of girls."

I laughed and pulled away from her.

Don't get too comfortable Envy. This could all be a game to her.

"I'm shocked. I didn't think you went that way."

She looked at me and stopped walking. I stopped as well and stood in front of her. She smirked and grabbed me by waist.

"Do you want me to prove it?"

I gasped.

Her eyes. They look glazed over. It's like she's someone else.

Her face was inches away from my neck. I could feel her hands tracing up and down my back slowly. She pulled me closer to her and put her shawl over our faces.

"Do you want me to show you?"

Before I could respond her mouth was on mine. She kissed me softly and it she me enough time to process it and kiss back. Her fingers grazed along my waist as she held me upright.

Does she have this effect on everyone? Can she entice everyone like this??

I lost my footing and we both went crashing down. That didn't stop her attacks though. Her hands were wandering now. My body was in a complete war with itself. Should I stop my friend or should I let her devour me...right here on this beach?

The water was trickling you my spine as she kissed down my stomach. I tried to keep my moans to a minimum but it was getting harder the closer she got to my bikini line. She had a death grip on my legs so I couldn't run. All I could do was watch as she teased me with her tongue. She smiled as plunged deeper like it was her sole purpose to please me. She was a devil. But I would sin over and over again just to have her tasting me like this. My head was in the clouds. Her hands were on my breasts playing with my n*****s as the sound of the water was rushing in my ears.

"Nova...."

Her name came out like a sounding desperate and afraid. I couldn't take the amount of pleasure she was giving. I was close to my release. She was in front of me now. Fingers inside me she pushed deeper and kissed my lips. I wrapped my hands around her and pulled her closer to me. It looked like were fighting to breathe but neither of us wanted to let up.

She's going to take your heart and break it.

I couldn't give in to those thoughts right now. I wanted what was in front of me. What was kissing me. I wanted her.

You need to wake up.

"Envy...? Envy?! Envy!!"

I jumped up to see Nova standing over me.

"Was I dreaming??"

"Yeah. You looked like you were in pain so I woke you up. You okay?"

I bit my lip and smiled.

"I'm just fine."

Maybe the closest I'll ever be to Nova is in my dreams. I can't say I'm not disappointed. I wonder if her tongue works like that for real.

10:30 p.m.

Nova

It's late. I've been sitting in this hammock for hours. I'm afraid to move. Ivan is so....I'm not sure how to place him. Something about him is familiar. I just can't figure it out. I kept rocking back and forth in the hammock until the wind carried it away while I curled deeper into the blanket. It was late and I was tired. I couldn't keep my head on straight. Ivan's presence was so intimidating. The way he looked at me. His eyes were so familiar.

You must really miss him....

I felt my eyelids get heavy with sleep and the last thing I remember is the moon shining bright above my head. The moon was last thing I remembered before drifting off into slumber.

Ivan

She looks so peaceful while she sleeps. I found her out here sleeping by the water. I picked her up and started toward the house. She felt fragile in my arms. She felt the same as she did that night at the club. Before we reached the house I decided to take a detour. I carried her around the house and down the path towards the hot springs. She was freezing. I put one foot in and then the other while cradling her to me. When I sat down on the ledge of the hot spring I made sure I was holding up her high enough so that she would get warm but not completely wet. When the air hit her she let out a sigh and I relaxed.

"Ivan...."

She said my name? I looked down at her while she slept in my arms. She looked so at peace. She didn't look nervous or anything just at peace. This was the only time her guard would be down. I looked back at her friends house. I could hear Envy prancing around playing music. I decided it was too loud to take her inside so I stayed in the spring until her body temperature went back to normal. Once she was warm enough I got out and I walked over to the guest house that was by the pool. I was staying in the guest house so I pulled out the key and unlocked the door. Carrying her inside I took her to the master bedroom and tucked in the bed. Satisfied I went to the bathroom and started to take a shower.

Nova

I woke up in someone's bed and I could hear the faint sound of water falling in the distance. I was trying to wake up but my body felt so tired. After laying there for a minute I quickly caught my bearings and lifted up out of the bed. I looked around. I was laying a King sized bed with black covers and black satin sheets. As soon as I was about to get up I heard a door open and I quickly laid back down. I shut my eyes and waited. The bedroom door opened and Ivan stepped over the threshold with a towel covering his lower half. That's when I seen it.

I looked at his chest and that's when I seen it. The tattoo. The lion on his right bicep.

The Mystery Man

My heart started beating a million times a minute.

I knew it. I knew it was him. I have to get out of here.

"Are you awake?"

I heard his voice before I saw him standing over me. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He was looking down at me. He looked concerned..? No. I couldn't place it.

"I can take you back inside if you want. You were just sleeping outside and it got cold."

Before I could respond I heard the lightning strike outside. I jumped under the covers and covered my head.

"Uh no. I think I'm gonna stay here if you don't mind...."

He didn't fight me on this and he crossed the room to walk inside his closet. I kept my body concealed as the thunder made a loud booming sound. It sounded like it shook the whole island.

After about 10 minutes he climbed into the bed and underneath the covers. We laid there together in silence. Neither one of us moved or said anything. It felt like hours were passing by because I knew he was still awake. The silence was uneasy. Just as I was about say something the lightning outside crashed. My body felt it went into shock. I screamed and tried to keep myself concealed. That's when I felt his hands. He grabbed me and pulled towards him. I tried to fight him off but he simply grabbed my hands and pinned them down. He climbed between my legs and laid his head on my chest.

"Shhhhh...it's okay."

I was panting. I was panicking. I was so scared. The thunder was getting louder and every time it boomed my body shook harder with violent convulsions. But the harder my body shook the closer he held me to him. I kept my eyes shut and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Have you always been afraid of lightning & thunder?"

His voice was oddly soothing when he was speaking to me. I nodded and I heard the lightning crack across the sky with a vengeance. He began to rub my back.

"Do you want to lay on me now? Am I too heavy?"

He asked me this as he lifted. Before I got the chance to respond he turned over on his back and laid down. He grabbed and pulled me on top of him. I laid my head on his chest while he played with my thighs. My shirt was loose around my body so it was easy for him to plant his hands wherever he wanted but he didn't go far.

"May I touch you..?"

I paused. He hadn't asked me this before. He just did it. I didn't refuse him so he placed his hands on my lower back and gently made circles with his finger. I laid on top of him until I dozed off while listening to his heartbeat. His heartbeat sounded off but it was soothing nonetheless. As I let my exhaustion take over he adjusted himself one last time before grabbing my waist tightly and closing his eyes as well.

"Goodnight pretty girl."
