The Pathway To Us (9 page)

She whispered in the semi-darkness. “What’s wrong?” She could feel it in her bones that something wasn’t right. Whatever was eating at him was major. He’d never been this uptight for this long.

He didn’t respond. Logan felt trapped in an impossible situation. If he told her what was really on his mind, once the words were out of his mouth, there would be no turning back.

“Logan? You’re freaking me out. Please tell me what’s wrong.”

He took a deep breath. His voice was low. “I don’t think we’re getting off of this island.”

Lily crawled over to him in an attempt to offer comfort. “Every time we get through another day is a new chance that it could happen.” She touched his cheek as they gazed into each other’s eyes. “Don’t lose hope, Logan.”

He allowed himself to do something he’d only allowed in his dreams. He reached out and pulled her head to his. Their lips were so close she could feel his breath on hers. “I need to kiss you.”

Lily was conflicted. She wanted desperately to feel his lips on hers but couldn’t shake the feeling that she was about to do something wrong. She whispered. “What about Bree?”

He ran his thumb across her bottom lip. “That’s another world and another time. This is here and now.” Logan swallowed deeply. “I’ve done everything I can to resist my feelings for you, and I promise it’s not just physical. I’m tired. I don’t want to fight it anymore, and I don’t think I can. There is this invisible something that makes me feel connected to you. You can’t imagine how long I’ve thought about doing this.”

Lily couldn’t believe her ears. Was this a dream? If so, she didn’t want to wake up. She whispered into his lips. “Please, kiss me.”

Softly, Logan moved as he touched her face then pressed his lips to hers. Lily’s eyes fluttered closed as she relished the feel of his touch. He outlined the seam of her lips with his tongue, and she thought she’d died and gone to heaven. The moment she parted her lips, he slipped his tongue inside. As if her arms had a mind of their own, Lily wrapped them around his neck as he lifted her by her waist onto his lap. The core of her body sat directly on his hardness. Every time she moved it triggered a pleasure so intense that it caused her to lose her breath. The feeling was so delicious, her body wanted more and began to squirm uncontrollably on its own.

Lily was reaching for something she didn’t quite fully understand as she rolled her hips back and forth over him. The friction made the dampness between her thighs, her core, dripping wet. Her softness and jerky movements caused Logan to claw at her clothes. He needed to be buried deep inside of her and every second he wasn’t drove him insane. His hands moved down to the sides of her hips to try and steady her movements, but it only made him even harder. His body was talking to hers on another level that they had yet to communicate verbally.

Their tongues hungrily swirled around each other. With each passing moment, they became more and more eager. Logan thrust up into her softness at the same time Lily brought her tender flesh down onto him. He touched nerve endings that made her moan his name. His hands roamed then dug into the fleshy part of her ass and squeezed. She moaned even louder.

He whispered into her skin as he dragged his lips away from hers and down the side of her neck. His breathing was uneven—hard. “We need to slow this down. I want you so much, and I don’t want to hurt you.”

“No. Don’t slow down. I don’t want you to change your mind.”

Lily thought she was going to explode. Her body was hot like an inferno. They had too many clothes on between them. She wanted to feel his skin on hers.

“No way that's happening. I’m too far gone. I’m not stopping until I’ve licked, kissed, and tasted every inch of you. I want to own your body.”

“You already do.”

Somehow through her sexual haze, Lily managed to move back a little so that he could lift his shirt above and over his head.

In one easy motion, Logan moved so that he was on top and she lay beneath him, legs spread wide. When he unbuttoned her romper, she trembled. Tonight, Lily was thankful she’d washed her undergarments and didn’t wear anything underneath her clothes. When Logan pushed her romper over her shoulders and down to her waist, she was completely naked.

Her nipples had already pebbled into tight little buds. Logan licked his lips in anticipation. “You’re perfect.” He bent low and took one of them into his mouth. He’d been dreaming about sucking her pretty pink nipples for too long.

His lips, his tongue, and the suction made all her nerve endings fire. She felt the vibration of his voice as he moaned into her. “
Mmm
…delicious. I knew it would be.”

Lily entwined her fingers into his hair while arching her body up into him. Finally, they were skin to skin from the waist up. She wrapped her legs around his hips and pressed herself into his thickness. He hissed. The pleasure was so intense that he could probably explode just by her touch. “Slow baby. I need to prepare you.”

Breathlessly she spoke. “I’m ready.”

“Almost. There will never be a time like the first time. Let me make it special. I promise tonight we’ll both be well satisfied. Trust me.”

Lily nodded. She trusted Logan with everything.

He unwound her legs from around his waist. As he moved lower to remove her romper, he licked and kissed every inch of her skin all the way down, as promised. Once she was completely naked, legs parted, Logan bent between her creamy thighs and nuzzled her slick folds with his nose. “I didn’t think anything could make me harder than I already am, but your scent is making me lose my damn mind.”

Logan didn’t wait another moment before pulling her tight little bud into his mouth and sucking on it. The current that went through her body lifted her hips off the floor. She thrashed her head from side to side, while he greedily sucked as if she were a juicy piece of fruit. He flattened his tongue and licked in between her folds getting close to her opening but not thrusting into it.

That part of her clenched and throbbed aching to be fulfilled. “
Ahh
…Logan.
Umm
…I…” Several long delicious licks later, Lily had a sheen of sweat covering her entire body.

Logan whispered into her silkiness. “I know baby.” Then he buried his tongue deep into the cavern of her body.

Lily exploded. “
Ahh…ahh…oooohhh…. god
!”

Logan could feel her pulsing around his tongue. He continued to swirl it around, in and out of her. Lily didn’t know if she was coming or going. Moments later, Logan felt her erupt again around his tongue.

Lily squeezed her eyes shut as Logan continued to make love to her with his mouth. Seconds later, she screamed his name as the most intense orgasm she’d ever had rocked her body. She saw stars behind the darkness of her closed eyes. Logan didn’t stop kissing and loving her until he sucked every last drop of her release.

Her chest heaved up and down as he unzipped and removed his shorts. His voice was husky. “Now, I think you might be ready.”

Lily ran her hands up and down his back. Her voice was low too. “I don’t think it can get any better than that. I feel like I’m floating in heaven.”

He laughed. “Not yet but trust me, I promise, I’ll take you there.” Logan kissed her deeply while he positioned himself just outside of her entrance.

Lily tasted her essence in the kiss. Something about it was so erotic that her body instantly started to heat up.

Logan didn’t want to cause her any pain only pleasure, but they had to get through this part. He dragged his lips away from hers. “Sweetheart, this is going to hurt for just a moment.” He stared deeply into her eyes. “You trust me?”

Without hesitation, Lily responded. “Yes.”

He caged her head in-between his arms and kissed her again before surging forward into her opening. Logan felt the moment her barrier broke and gave way to him. He knew he was a fairly large man and hoped she could forgive him for the pain. Lily screamed at the top of her lungs.

Logan didn’t move. He planted gentle kisses all over her face. His voice was hoarse, strangled. “You want me to stop?” It would kill him if she said yes, but he would if she wanted him too. He remained perfectly still until she answered.

Lily shook her head no. She couldn’t speak, but stopping was the last thing she wanted.

Being still was killing him. Her heat was like an oven, and she was so damn tight. Her body clenched around his manhood like a glove. All he wanted to do was drill into her, but he had to be careful. He bared his teeth trying to be patient. Lily could see the effort of his restraint etched in his face. When she lifted her knees to the side of his hips, the pain was replaced with pleasure so good she wanted more of it.

Logan swallowed deeply and dropped his forehead to hers. Her body wanted more. Her voice was strained. “Logan, please. Please make love to me.” That was all it took for the dam to break. Logan rocked into her hard before pulling almost all the way out. He thrust back into her again. She dug her nails into his back. The pain-pleasure was unlike anything she’d ever known and didn’t want it to end. Logan stretched her as he rolled his hips into her. Each movement caused her breath to hitch a bit more. He tried to go slow, but he’d wanted this too much. He held her hips still as he lost himself into the sweetness of her body. He drove deep and pulled out only to drive deeper into her the next time. Logan pulled her legs up, wrapping them around his waist, as he pounded and pounded her. No one had ever been able to take him fully. It was as if she were made just for him.

Lily started to tighten around his hardness as he continued to make love to her. She was so tight that he wasn’t sure how long he could hold on. He was surprised he’d lasted this long considering how much he’d wanted this moment. Logan was helpless to slow the building of his orgasm, and he was about to erupt. He whispered into her ear. “Cum for me baby.” The sweat dripped off his body onto hers as he shifted his focus to making sure she found her release before he did.

The sound of his voice was all it took for Lily to find her release. Logan meant to pull out, but Lily was still clenching around him when he spilled his seed. They came together. It was the most powerful orgasm Logan had had in his life.

It took a little time for them to catch their breath and come down from the euphoria of their lovemaking. A huge grin spread across Lily’s face as she gazed up into his.

Smugly he asked, “Satisfied?”

Lily nodded. “More than.” Nervously she asked. “You? Was I . . . okay?”

He planted another gentle kiss on her forehead. “You were amazing. Are you sure I didn’t hurt you? I didn’t mean to be so rough.”

“You were perfect. This . . .” She paused and smoothed his hair back from his face. “Was perfect.”

Logan hated to disconnect from her body, but he did. Lily immediately felt the emptiness and missed the feel of him. Logan pulled her body into his. Her back was to his front. As their skin cooled, she trembled, he reached over and grabbed the blanket covering them with it.

Lily snuggled back into his warmth and giggled. She whispered into the darkness. “I guess we solved the virgin problem.”

He breathed in the scent of her. “We also solved the semi-erect, seemingly permanent hard-on when I’m around you problem too.” Logan sighed. “The reality is so much better than my dreams.”

She half turned around. “You dreamed about me?”

“Even when I wasn’t supposed to. But, I don’t feel guilty about it. You’re mine that’s all there is to it.”

Lily smiled into the darkness. It didn’t matter that no one else on this planet may care about her, Logan did, and that’s all she needed. “I’m perfectly happy with that.”

The days and nights didn’t seem so long now that they had each other. Lily fell asleep in Logan’s arms and woke up surrounded by them. Even though she was stranded on this island, she’d never felt more loved, more protected, or more connected to anyone.

In-between working hard to finish their new home and doing the things they needed to survive, they would talk about almost everything. His smiles were easy, and so were his kisses. Logan talked about his family, his business, his fears, his hopes, and secret dreams but never Bree. Lily wasn’t sure how she felt about that. She only hoped that what he felt for her was real and not because of their situation. Lily pushed that nagging thought to the back of her mind. She’d never been loved this thoroughly by a man, so she wasn’t going to allow any negative energy to seep into her consciousness.

She focused on the fact that they were good together and not just physically. They couldn’t seem to keep their hands off of each other, but Lily knew she loved him almost from the first moment her eyes locked on to him that day at the pool.

She knew he cared about her deeply, but Logan was also so tender with her that she felt maybe he loved her too. They would hold hands as they walked leisurely along the beach. Anytime throughout the day if he’d give her a heated glance or she’d give him one, they would make love. Under the stars, in the ocean, on the rocks, or in the lagoon it didn’t matter. The desire for each other only seemed to be getting stronger.
