“It’s the moonlight and refraction.” I smiled up at him weakly. “The way the light bounces off my irises makes them appear different colors.”

“They’re beautiful.” He leaned down and stared into them more intensely.

I could feel my heart beating rapidly as his hands moved up and caressed my back. His lips moved closer to mine, and within seconds, they were pressed down on mine.

At first, his kiss was soft and sweet, and I kissed him back gently, wanting to enjoy the moment. All too soon, his lips moved more urgently, crushing into mine as his tongue demanded entry into my mouth. His tongue was salty and rough as it entered my mouth. He was all-consuming, and I was immediately overwhelmed as he sucked on my tongue and ran his hands through my tangled hair.

I pressed against him and ran my hands down his back. It felt as magnificent as I had imagined, and I moaned as I pushed into him harder. A guttural groan escaped his lips as he pulled back from me slightly. I didn’t know if this was real or part of the act.

“I’m so hard right now. I want to fuck you very badly, Bianca.” His eyes bored into mine, unsmiling.

“Don’t look so happy about it,” I quipped back with my heart racing.

“This is no time to be making jokes.” He pulled me toward him, hard.

“I wasn’t joking,” I whispered, and shifted against him slightly.

He gasped as my hand accidentally brushed against his cock, and he grabbed it. “Don’t tease me.” He held my hand in his, and I swallowed hard.

“I’m not teasing you.” I shook my head at him, not sure what he was talking about.

“You feel this?” He brought my hand to his briefs and pressed it against his cock. “I’m rock hard right now,” he muttered. “I want to push you down onto the ground and fuck you so hard that you’ll forget that you met me only two days ago.”

I swallowed hard as my palm pressed against him. I could tell that he wasn’t lying. He was hard and thick against my hands, and it took everything in me to not grab him and squeeze him between my fingers.

“So what are you going to do?” I finally spoke, and he sighed.

“We’re just going to go to sleep.” He dropped my hand. “Though that’s going to be hard for me. Ignore the unintended pun.” He winked down at me.

“So this isn’t awkward or anything.” I took a step back and gently rubbed my bruised lips.

“You look so sexy.” He sighed as he stared at me. “I want to push you down on all fours and take you from behind. I’ll pull your hair as I enter you, and you’ll scream out my name.” He cleared his throat then. “Come on. Let’s just get some sleep.”

“Are you sure you don’t need to take care of business first?” I stared at his crotch meaningfully as he laughed.

“Do you need to take care of business?” He looked down at my crotch, and I crossed my legs. There was no way I was going to let him know how heavy and wet my panties felt.

“I’m fine,” I lied, and walked back to where our clothes were. “I’m going to sleep now.”

“I’ll join you.” He walked besides me. “Hopefully tomorrow we can figure out some answers.”

“Yeah.” I nodded. “I sure hope so.” I sat back down and stretched out on the sand.

Jakob lay behind me and spooned me. I felt his cock press into me as his arms slid around my waist, but I didn’t complain this time. I didn’t even think about how right it felt to be wrapped in his arms when I had only just met him.

I wished that I could call Rosie then to figure out what she thought. She was probably panicking right now. She’d left me at the table to go to the washroom and when she’d come back, I was gone. Whoever had kidnapped me had to have dosed the wine I’d been given. That meant it had been premeditated, which meant it wasn’t a mistake that I was here, as I’d partly hoped. Someone had wanted me, Bianca London, on this island for a reason. A reason I thought I knew. Until I realized that I wasn’t alone. I thought I knew why I was here, but why were Jakob and Steve with me. I had nothing guiding me as to why.

I shivered slightly as I realized the severity of the situation. Jakob’s hands wrapped around my body tightly, and I snuggled back into his arms and closed my eyes. I didn’t know if I liked Jakob all that much, though, I was wildly attracted to him. But I was definitely glad that I was here with him and not alone. I would never admit it to him but being wrapped in his arms made me feel safe—well, as safe as I could feel in this situation. My mind drifted to Rosie and the package. I was praying that she’d found it in her handbag and had gone to the police. She might not understand what all the papers meant, but someone in the police department should. Hopefully it would at least lead them in the direction of the Bradleys.

I fell asleep quickly. I guess the day had exhausted me, and even though I wanted to enjoy being cuddled next to Jakob, I couldn’t keep my eyes open. My dreams were sweet and delicious, and I didn’t want them to end. However, a hand fondling my right breast stirred me out of my slumber. My eyes opened slowly, and I realized that I couldn’t have slept for very long. The sun hadn’t risen yet. I lay still for a second and felt Jakob’s hand groping my breast.

“Jakob,” I hissed as his fingers pinched my nipple. I shifted away and groaned as I realized that I was firmly ensconced in his arms. “Jakob, are you awake?” I murmured, but there was no response from him.
