Indestructible Desire (9 page)

“I think I’m going to have to be drunk twenty-four-seven to get through this weekend.” Brooklyn says, rolling onto her stomach.

Looking over my shoulder at her, I smile; I can’t help but find it all entertaining. “Well I will gladly join you. I’m finally off the oxycodine and am just taking ibuprofen now so I am ready to get completely trashed this weekend. I go back to work this week, so I want to take full advantage of this vacation.”

“I think there's no better time to start than now!” Looking up towards the house, Brooklyn shouts up to Juliana, one of our staff who works for Kayden. She’s petite, standing at just barely five feet, and has jet black hair which is pulled up into a tight bun. She's wearing a pair of khaki shorts, a white Polo sleeveless tank, and white flip flops. All of the staff here is dressed in the same attire.

Walking down to us quickly, she stands above us, hands behind her back and smiling warmly, “Yes, ma’am, how may I assist you?”

“Can you make us two hurricanes, please?”

“I will get those made and right back to you immediately. Will that be all?”

Smiling back up at her, I cut in, “Can you bring us a bowl of diced up watermelon also, please? Thank you, Juliana.”

Within a few minutes she’s walking back towards us holding a tray with our hurricanes and bowl of fruit. “If that will be all, I’ll excuse myself to check on your dinner for the evening.”

“Thank you.”

Brooklyn snatches her drink up first. It looks absolutely delicious with reds and orange colors swirling around inside of it, a slice of pineapple on the slide of the glass, and pink umbrellas are the perfect touch. Taking a sip, her eyebrows perk up, and a smile spreads across her face. “Holy shit! Best fuckin’ hurricane
ever.
”

After finishing a piece of watermelon, I sip on my straw welcoming the cold crushed ice and fruity liquor into my mouth. I am instantly hit with the taste of liquor. “Wow! These are strong!”

“Hell yeah, I love this place, they don’t hold back on the good stuff. Girl we are going to be plastered by the time the guys finally come in for dinner.”

Won’t we be a sight, staggering around the beach topless with our glasses in hand?

“All I know is tonight, I will not stop trying until I have Dixon in my bed. That piece of shit owes me a good fuck after the way he’s treated me since we came back from LA after your accident.”

“I can’t keep up with you! So will it be just Dixon this weekend? Or you planning on hooking up with Jax, too?”

“Damn u bitch, you’re making me sound like a damn whore.
No I don’t plan on sleeping with Jax
, but that doesn’t mean I won’t be flirting my ass off with him. Dixon is going to get a piece of his own medicine.” With a look of determination on her face, Brooklyn’s watches the guys out on the water, and chugs down her drink.

Shaking my head, I plop back down on my lounger. I just hope her plan doesn’t backfire and somehow end up ruining my vacation. I need a relaxing weekend more then I need anything else right now.

Around seven, we all headed to our rooms to get ready for dinner. We’ll be eating outside on the large deck overlooking the ocean. After a quick shower, I put on a white cotton strapless sundress Kayden laid out for me, and white flip flops. I blow dried my hair and pulled it into a side bun, adding a small white rose hair clip.

Walking out of the bathroom, my eyes fall onto Kayden standing outside on the balcony. He has on a white button up t-shirt, dark khaki cargo shorts, and brown flip flops. He’s resting his hands on the railing and looking out into the ocean.

Walking up behind him, I wrap my arms around his waist, pressing my face against his back. “Ready for dinner?” I ask quietly.

Resting his hands over mine, he lets out a long sigh before finally speaking. “Yes, I am starving; if you’re ready we’ll head down now.”

Turning around and looking down at me, I can’t help but have panic instantly strike me, making my stomach immediately knot up. The sadness in Kayden’s eyes is something I’m not used to seeing. It scares me a little that he hasn’t really talked to me about how he’s dealing with everything. He just constantly focuses on me and how I’m coping. It makes me wonder just how hard all this has been for him.

As I run my hands along his chest, he takes in a sharp breath. Smiling up at him, I rest my hands on his cheeks. Loving the feeling of his smooth, freshly shaven face. Taking a breath, I finally work up the courage to speak, “Everything okay Kayden? I know you’re worried about me, but don’t think for a moment that I’m not worried about you, too. If anything’s bothering you, I want you to talk to me about it.”

Kayden’s smile instantly vanishes from his face, and the pained look returns, making my hands start to shake as I try to fight back my tears threatening to escape my eyes. “I love you so much. Do you know how amazing you are, Savannah?” He asks, pulling me against him and holding me tightly.

“I love you too, Kayden, and I want you to be able to talk to me about anything. I don’t want us to ever hold back what we’re feeling, no matter if it’s good or bad. I plan on spending the rest of my life with you, Kayden Knox. So you better get that through your thick skull. Nothing you say will ever scare me away.”

Letting out a nervous laugh, Kayden rolls his eyes and stares up at the night sky for a few moments before looking back down at me. “I want nothing more than to grow old with you, baby. I’m going to live every moment from here on out making sure you’re safe, and that nothing like what happened before
ever
happens again.”

“Do you not see that I already know that? The only reason I’m not a complete and total mess right now is because of you! You make me feel safe and like I can overcome this tragedy. With you by my side, I’ll come out of this a stronger person because of it. If you need to talk or vent about everything that happened, I want to be that person you can open up to. Hell, I went through it, so who else will understand what the fuck you’re dealing with right now, Kayden, better than me?”

Releasing me, he walks into the bedroom and sits on the edge of the bed. Holding his hand out for me, I walk back into the bedroom and make my way over to him. Grabbing my hips Kayden pulls me down so that I’m sitting on his lap. Resting his head in the nape of my neck, I feel a tear run down my collarbone and in between my breasts.

Feeling Kayden’s tears instantly makes me feel like I’ve been sucker punched in the stomach. Shifting my body on his lap, I cup his face in my hands again and look into his eyes. “
I love you,
and we will get through this…
together
.” I say befor crushing out lips together. Our kisses are mixed with the taste of our salty tears as they fall from our eyes.

Without saying another word, Kayden holds me close for a few moments, fluttering kisses along my temple, cheek, and jaw. The love I feel coming from him at this moment is overwhelming. I never thought I would feel something this strong for someone in my lifetime, that a love like this even existed. To have found it, knowing how rare it is, I’m never going to let go. No matter if I have to scratch and claw through the shit thrown our way, I’ll never allow it to falter the love we have for one another.

We walk hand in hand out onto the deck to join everyone at the table for our first dinner here. I feel a weight has been lifted off of me, even though Kayden didn’t express in words the feelings that are plaguing his thoughts. I feel we had a breakthrough upstairs. I need to get better for not just myself, but for him too. I’m not the only one who’s been affected by the kidnapping and accident. It’s eating away at Kayden, too, maybe even more so. I’m happy he agreed to meet with Dr. Wilcott this week with me for one of my sessions. I think talking to her about the guilt he’s dealing with will be good for him.

“About time you two love birds decided to join us.” Dixon says sarcastically, looking over Kayden and me from his seat at the table.

“Sorry we left ya’ll waiting, let’s dig in.” Kayden says, pushing my chair in for me and then seating himself on the end next to me.

The night sky is blanketed with what looks like a million stars. The breeze is warm and welcoming, pulling your body, beckoning it to come out and feel it caress your skin. The table is full of food, with fish, lobster, crab legs, steak, and shrimp. All of it displayed beautifully, looking like art instead of dinner. I almost hate to eat it and ruin the gorgeous display before us.

Brooklyn is wasting no time on her mission to drive Dixon crazy. He’s sitting at the end of the table opposite Kayden. Jax and Brooklyn are seated across from me on the other side of it. She’s joking around with Jax, laughing at everything he’s saying. Dixon seems to not be fazed by her flirting at all. He and Kayden are engulfed in a deep discussion about their wind energy project they’ve been working tediously on.

After finishing dinner, we all head over to the outdoor bar and sitting area. Kayden has two of his staff mixing and serving us our drinks, which is nice because we get to just sit back and relax and enjoy our evening together. With the music blasting over the outdoor speakers, Kayden stands, pulling me into him and starts slowly but sensually dancing with me.

Being in his arms, I instantly shut out all the laughter from Brooklyn, Jax, and Dixon around us, focusing on just Kayden and me. Pulling me against his rock hard chest and stomach, he sways to the music, resting both hands on my butt. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I lean my head to the right, giving Kayden full access to my neck. Between the alcohol coursing through my veins and the heat radiating through my skin from his kisses, I feel as if I am floating, my body feeling at ease as I’m consumed with desire for Kayden.

We sway to the music as he trails a fiery path of kisses along my neck, sucking and nibbling my skin along the way as he works his mouth up to mine. Pulling his mouth away, he leaves me panting, craving his lips on my skin. He stares down at me with an impish grin on his face. His smile instantly makes my legs weak. “You look absolutely stunning tonight, Savannah.”

“You don’t look so bad yourself, hot stuff.” I slowly slide my hands under his shirt, dragging my nails along his back, loving the look of pure desire radiating out of his eyes, burning into me.

Sucking in a sharp breath, Kayden grips my butt, pressing me against him. I instantly feel his cock pressing against my abdomen. A small moan escapes my mouth as his lips connect with mine once again. I gladly suck the flavor of the liquor he’s been drinking off of his tongue, playfully biting down on his bottom lips and pulling on it gently.

“What do you say we head down to the beach for a late night swim?” Kayden asks, taking my hand into his and walking me towards the stairs leading down to the beach.

“You feeling like being naughty, Kayden? You know how much I love it when you’re all dangerous and
oh so sexy
.”

“Then what are you waiting for? Get your sweet little ass down to the beach and get naked. I plan on fucking you nice and slow under the moonlight.” He slaps my ass and I let out a loud scream before making my way down to the beach. I glance back momentarily to see Jax, Dixon, and Brooklyn pouring more drinks. I hope for her sake she doesn’t get burned, because that girl is playing with fire.

Chapter Seven

***

Before my feet can touch the sand, Kayden wraps his arms around my waist, lifting me off of the ground. “Oohhhh!” I shout as he carries me down the beach. Within a few seconds we’re down to the water and Kayden is quickly unzipping my dress. I step out of it as it pools around my feet; I quickly shimmy out of my panties and kick them off beside my dress.

“Meet ya in there!” Kayden shouts as he races by me, diving into the ocean.

Letting out a small laugh, I make my way down to the water. My ribs are feeling a lot better, but not good enough to run around just yet. “Such a gentleman, testing the water for sharks before I come in.”

Stepping into the water, the warm waves crash against my ankles. My feet are slowly sinking in the sand as the waves wash back out to sea. “Well, now that ya know it’s safe, hurry your ass up and get over here!” Kayden’s southern drawl is so thick right now due to all the alcohol he’s consumed tonight. I love how sexy his voice is; every time he talks I instantly melt.
