My Salvation (10 page)

“Then you will just have to try to be a
gentleman, won’t you?”

“Ha! We’ll see how well that goes. If you’re
within a foot of me I need to be touching you.”

“Well, I don’t mind you touching me. Just keep
it PG, maybe even, PG-13, if others can see.”

“Deal.” He bent to help her undress, pulling her
shirt and bra off.

“Get out!”

“What? I’m just sampling.”

Cali crossed her arms and said, “You sample
food, not me. I’m a delicacy to be savored, appreciated and taken
time with. Not now, but later I will let you savor all of me.”

Owen held out his hand to take her at her word.
She took his hand and shook. “Deal.”

“Go put on your bathing suit and let’s swim. All
you’re doing is making me hotter.”

He winked and walked away to grab the bathing
suit and change.

She swam a bit and floated on a raft he had. He
did some laps, splashing as he went by. They sat by the pool,
letting the warm sun dry their skin. That was the most relaxed Cali
had been in as long as she could remember, even more so than at the
lake. Kauai felt like a vacation even if it only lasted for a long
weekend.

Adeline brought out drinks and by dinner time
Cali was feeling a little buzzed. Adeline made a huge dinner. She
had gone to the local market to pick out food that was fresh and
native to the area. Everyone stayed in that night, eating,
laughing, and enjoying each other’s company.

As the sun was setting Owen stood and reached
for her. When she accepted, he pulled her to her feet and into a
tight embrace. “Let’s go for a walk on the beach.”

Cali nodded and they walked down the steps to
the sand. The sky was beautiful with pink and purple hues mixing
with the clouds. The sand was warm under their feet.

Owen wanted to stay in Kauai with her and never
go home. It was too perfect and he knew when they returned it meant
he was off to work and worrying about all of the shit that came
along with said work. He hoped Ethan behaved until he returned to
the office on Tuesday.

It was the last night on the island and he
wanted to make it special. They stopped and sat in the sand to
enjoy the view. The ocean was calming and no one else was walking
on the beach. It was only Cali and Owen, just the way he
wanted.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a
small box. Taking her hand, he sat the box in her palm. She looked
down and gasped.

Chuckling, he said, “It’s not what you’re
thinking. Just open the box.”

She did and tears formed in her eyes. “Owen,
this is beautiful, how did you … when did you?”

“I asked Adeline to pay attention when you were
in the jewelry store. She went back and bought this for me when we
were swimming. I wanted to surprise you. Do you like it?”

“I love it,” she said and kissed him. “Here, put
it on me.”

“With pleasure.”

He reached into the box and removed a peacock
colored pearl that had a diamond above it and was on a white gold
chain. Cali lifted her hair so Owen could put it on. Once the
necklace was secure, her fingers immediately went to it.

“Thank you. I will always cherish this.”

Owen moved his hand to her face and used his
finger to catch the tear that had fallen. “Having you back in my
life has made everything better. I want you to know just how much
you mean to me. I’m falling in love with you, Caliana.”

She leaned in to kiss him softly. Pulling back,
she looked into his eyes, tears still running down her cheeks.
“I’ve been so afraid of what I’m feeling toward you. You don’t know
how happy it makes me to know you feel the same.”

“You have nothing to be scared of. I would never
hurt you. I’ve waited too long to have you and I’m not letting
go.”

Cali smiled and said, “Good, because I’m not
going anywhere. You’re all I want and need.”

They kissed again and it quickly intensified.
She pushed him onto the sand and moved on top. They stayed that way
for a while, just kissing. Owen, however, had a hard time only
kissing. He started running his hands over her back, skimming the
sides of her breasts through the thin cotton shirt she wore.

She broke the kiss. “C’mon, let’s go inside. I
want to go to bed.”

Groaning, he stood. “I was comfortable.”

Laughing, Cali said, “So was I, but I really
don’t want to keep putting on a show for others.” She used her head
to motion down the beach to an older couple who were walking and
getting close.

“Hey, maybe we could show them some new moves.”
He swept her into his arms. She laughed louder as she was spun by
him.

Owen placed her on the sand and bent her back to
kiss her very dramatically. Looking up he winked at the couple and
they both turned their heads fast as to act like they weren’t
watching.

Chuckling, he said, “All right, sexy, let’s
go.”

At the house, he couldn’t wait to get to the
bedroom. He had her against the wall as soon as they hit the
hallway. He kissed her passionately and she went weak in his arms.
He held onto her waist and walked the rest of the way to the
bedroom.

“Strip,” he said. “Get on all fours on the bed
and spread your legs.”

Owen stripped as well, throwing everything and
not caring where the clothes landed. She was slower, more dramatic
with her undressing, making a show of it. First her shorts came
off, but in doing so she faced away from him, bending over as she
did it. Her ass was so firm and he couldn’t wait to grab ahold of
it.

“No show, bed,” he said pointing to the dark
cherry, four poster bed. “I can’t wait any longer. Oh, and look
forward.”

She climbed on to the white, cotton bedding and
positioned herself as he asked. He moved underneath her and pulled
her pussy to his mouth. Owen didn’t think she expected it. Her legs
gave out as soon as his tongue starting moving.

Within minutes she was rocking against him. He
knew she wanted it faster, but he wasn’t letting her climax yet.
Instead, he moved out from underneath and positioned himself behind
her. He put his cock right at her entrance and slammed forward,
causing her to cry out.

Owen knew he wasn’t going to last long given the
position and how wound up he was. He moved hard and fast. Cali was
pushing back into him, meeting his thrusts.

He brought his hand to her swollen nub and
immediately felt her spasms take over. Her walls clenched around
him and he released as well. She was milking him, making his orgasm
seem to go on forever. The high was addicting as was the woman
beneath him.

He leaned onto her back, out of breath and she
collapsed beneath him. “That was, that was,” she said.

“I know. And we’re not done yet.” He kissed
along her spine and caressed her backside. “Come into the bathroom
in a few minutes. I’m going to draw us a relaxing bath.”

A large garden bathtub was in the master suite
with jets built into it. He had never used the tub prior to that
moment, but thought it was just what they needed.

Owen filled the tub with warm water and added
soap to make it bubble. He dimmed the lighting just as she walked
in. She had, as she previously mentioned, the just fucked look and
he loved it. She was so stunning that he stood for a minute simply
looking at her.

Cali moved to stand directly in front of him,
running her hands down his chest, stomach, to his length, which was
slowly coming back to life. She started stroking, but surprised him
when she dropped to her knees and took him fully into her mouth.
Owen sagged into the wall for support.

They stared into each other’s eyes.
Who am I
kidding?
he thought.
I’m not falling for her, I’m already
in love.
He would keep the thought to himself for the time
being though. He didn’t want to scare her off by saying the words
too soon, but he loved her. He felt it deep within his soul. She
totally rocked his world.

Cali released him from her mouth with a pop and
licked him from base to tip. Standing, she pressed herself to him.
He didn’t hesitate in hugging her tight.

Their lips met and their tongues danced with one
another. She tasted of a mixture of himself and her sweet cream.
The flavor only amped him up further. He slowly started backing her
to the bathtub. When they reached the side, he stepped in. Lifting
her, he settled her on top of him, straddling his waist, facing one
another.

She reached between them and brought his cock to
her, slowly lowering herself. Cali started to ride him. His hand
went behind her, pulling her forward so he could capture her breast
with his lips. His tongue sucked on any inch of skin it met. She
increased the pace, driving him wild.

They were both lost in each other and didn’t
hear the storm rolling in. He heard the thunder once it seemed to
be over the house. Opening his eyes, he could see the bright
flashes of lightning throughout the room.

Cali was moaning in rapture. She started
trembling and held tight when her orgasm jolted through her. Once
she started coming down, he pushed into her quickly and found his
own release. He called out her name, almost professing his love,
but at the last minute the haze cleared and he caught himself.

Her forehead was resting on his shoulder when
the lights started to flicker before going out completely. It took
only a few seconds for the generator to kick on and everything was
lit.

There was a knock at the bedroom door and Owen
heard Steven. “Are you two okay?”

“Yeah we’re fine. No worries,” Owen replied.
Under his breath said, “We are more than fine.”

Talking through the door in a raised voice,
Steven said, “Okay, just checking. I’m going to bed since we have
an early flight. Let me know if you need anything.”

“Thanks man.”

Cali was laughing quietly into his shoulder. She
didn’t make any noise, but her body was shaking. “It’s a good thing
he didn’t come in.”

He laughed. “Ya think?”

They sat washing each other for a bit. Owen
loved to do this for her. “All right, let’s get out, the water is
getting cold.”

Cali stood first and grabbed towels for both of
them. They dried off and she used the blow dryer on her hair. They
both brushed their teeth and slid into bed. Owen spooning her.

“Sleep, beautiful. Tomorrow will be a long day.”
He kissed her shoulder and intertwined his legs with hers.

She must have been tired because she only nodded
and he felt her breathing even out. The storm would have normally
kept him awake, but having Cali in his arms was like a drug. She
relaxed him beyond belief and he fell easily to sleep.

* * * * * * * *

Cali groaned when the sound of music filtered
into her ears. It was early in the morning and the sun was starting
to rise. She groaned and hit the snooze button on the alarm. Owen
had been on the other side of the bed, but hearing the alarm roused
him enough that he found her and dragged her to his body. Smiling
to herself, she knew she always wanted to be with him, just as they
were.

The alarm went off again minutes later, this
time Owen reached over and smacked it hard. He buried his face into
her hair and said, “Too warm, too comfortable, don’t want to
move.”

Cali sighed. “Agreed.”

One more round of the snooze button and by the
third time he finally shut it off. But before standing, he kissed
Cali and gave her the most heart-stopping smile she had ever
seen.

His dimples and the chiseled features of his
face were the perfect combination of pure sexiness. She was going
to have to beat women away from him. Groaning, she realized they
would be on the way back to reality soon.

“What’s the matter?” Owen asked as while getting
dressed.

“Oh nothing, just that we have to go home. And
going home means more women who want my hot as fuck boyfriend.”

“Hot as fuck, huh?”

“Yup,” she said and threw her arm over her face.
“Not only do you attract all women, but you have two winners front
and center. On one side we have Mia, who let’s face, isn’t all
there and seems like she isn’t giving up without a fight. And on
the other we have Avery who walks through your company like it’s a
runway. She struts and flips her hair drawing the attention of
every male with a pulse. She is model gorgeous.”

Owen walked over to the bed and took a seat by
her side. Pulling her arms away from her face he said, “Look at me.
Neither of those women matter to me. I’ll take care of Mia and make
sure she doesn’t bother us. And Avery, it’s purely business. Any
attraction is one-sided.”

“You’ve looked at Avery, right? Like really
fucking looked at her? She’s raw sex appeal.”

“Caliana, there is no other woman for me, only
you. Even when we were apart all of those years, you never left my
mind. I always hoped that one day you would walk back into my life,
even if only as a friend. But to have you as more,” Owen said,
shaking his head. “I couldn’t be happier. You are everything to
me.”

Cali sat up and engulfed him in a hug. “Thank
you,” she whispered. He held her as they watched the ocean from the
comfort of the bed for a few minutes.

“Okay, get dressed and packed. We need to get
moving. I’ll have breakfast waiting for you on the deck.”

Cali dressed in a light blue, cotton tee and
denim shorts. She packed and made sure to leave nothing behind.
Walking into the bathroom, she glanced into the mirror and saw the
pearl on her neck. She brought her fingers to the necklace,
thinking of how she would never forget the trip. It was amazing
from start to finish and Owen did it all for her. To be with her,
with no interruptions.

Gathering her belongings, she walked to the
front of the house and left the bags by the door. She saw Owen was
on the deck with Steven and Adeline. Cali pulled over a chair to
join them and ate in silence, watching the waves.
