CHAPTER 11
***BLAKE***
B lake sat motionless in the swing for several seconds, the sound of Wren’s sobs fading as she disappeared into the cabin, then jumped to his feet to follow her. He found her crying into her pillow and stood in the doorway, wanting to go to her, but afraid that would be a mistake. But the need to comfort her, even if he was the cause of her pain, was too great, and he finally walked over to the bed and carefully sat down next to her, then gently put his hand on her back.
She didn’t tell him to leave, didn’t tense at his touch; instead, to his surprise and delight, she turned, sat up, and threw herself into his arms. “I’m sorry, Wren, I didn’t know. You have to believe that,” he said. “I thought it was just a stupid legend. I didn’t think the bond was a real thing. I never meant to trap you, I was in love with you, and I still am.”
“You don’t understand…” she sobbed into his chest. “There’s something I haven’t told you, something that will change everything between us. You’re in love with the girl th at I used to be, not the woman I am now. You bonded with someone who doesn’t exist anymore.”
He pulled back, Wren’s emotions pouring through him, the pain and heartache so powerful that it took him a second to find his voice. “Wren, look at me,” he said, tipping her chin up. “I love the old you, I love the new you, nothing is ever going to change that. The bond is only part of what we share, we’re meant for each other, no matter what happened while we were apart.”
She searched his face, tears still streaming down her cheeks. “I’m afraid that you’ll never forgive me, that you’ll never be able to see past what I’ve done,” she said, then sucked in a deep shuddering breath. “I don’t think I could survive losing you again.”
“You’re not going to lose me, Wren,” he said, reaching up to wipe the tears away with his thumbs. “The bond makes sure of that. It makes us work through our problems, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do, but I promise you right now, nothing you’ve done is going to make me love you any less.”
Wren’s eyes filled with hope. He could feel the love and longing slowly building up inside her, and he slowly lowered his mouth to hers, gently kissed her, and then pulled back. “Don’t give up on us, Wren,” he said. “What we have is too special to just walk away from. Fight for me, fight for us, fight for the life we could have together. I know the idea of being bonded to me is frightening, but I promise you’ll never be sorry, not for a single day of your life.”
“Losing you again is the only thing that scares me,” she said, then hesitated. “I don’t know how to tell you this…”
“Then don’t, it doesn’t matter, sweetheart, what matters is that we’re here together,” he said, then pulled her closer. “I want to make love to you, Wren. I want you so badly it hurts. I don’t want to talk anymore tonight. We have the rest of our lives to work everything out.”
She studied him for a moment, desire slowly replacing the fear and doubt in her eyes, and he felt a rush of warmth spread through him as the passion between them slowly came to life. His instincts slowly taking over, he lowered his mouth to hers, cutting off anything she might say, and kissed her deeply, hoping she could feel everything he was experiencing right that moment.
Wren gasped, then pulled away and looked up at him. “I want you too, Blake,” she said. “I never stopped wanting you.”
This time, when he kissed her, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her body up against his, and he felt her nipples harden under her shirt, sending a wave of pleasure shooting through him. Gently pushing Wren down onto the bed without breaking the kiss, he slowly began to unbutton her shirt, then pushed it aside to reveal her plump breasts covered only by a skimpy lace bra.
Trailing kisses down Wren’s throat, he captured one stiff peak in his mouth, need coursing through him when she let out a whimper of pleasure, then moved to the other one. When he finally pulled back and looked down at her, need pounding inside him, he forced himself to take a deep breath. He wanted to take his time. He wanted to explore every inch of Wren’s body, wanted her writhing in need under him when he finally made her his forever.
After slipping the shirt off her shoulders, he looked down at her as he reached for the button on her shorts and slipped it free. “I want you naked in my arms,” he said, slowly slipping them down her legs, exposing a matching pair of lace panties. “I want to feel your skin against mine.”
Wren gasped, her breath coming in short gasps, but didn’t move as he stripped off his clothes, exposing his obvious need for her and pleasure shot through him when she reached for him. He let her stroke him for a few seconds before pulling away with a groan, afraid that if he let her continue, it would all be over much too soon. His eyes roamed over her body as he slowly slipped off first her bra and then her panties; he realized that she was even more beautiful than he’d remembered.
No longer the girl he remembered, but a woman, he drank in her full breasts, rounded hips and shapely legs, and his body began to throb with a need more powerful than anything he’d felt before. Unable to resist the urge to touch her, he reached out and ran one finger from Wren’s throat between her breasts, then lower over her belly and between her legs.
She opened them to him with a long sigh, and he slipped between them, then pushed them open wider, unable to stop the growl that rumbled up from deep in his chest when he slipped one finger between her folds and found her slick and ready for him. Resisting the urge to take her right then, he dropped his head between her legs, found her pleasure button with his tongue, then began to lavish his attention on her, enjoying the sound of her cries of pleasure until she tumbled over the edge, body trembling, his name on her lips.
***Wren***
Wren was soaring as wave after wave of pleasure washed over her, but as the sensations slowly died away, she found herself left with an empty feeling that she knew only Blake could fill. “Please, I need you inside me,” she begged, lifting her hips to him. “Take me now, Blake, I can’t wait.”
He growled as he slid up her body, his eyes locked on hers, then pushed her legs further apart, grabbed her by the hips, and drove himself into her. The world exploded in a burst of pleasure so intense, she was forced to close her eyes as it overwhelmed her, her entire body shuddering with the relief of being joined with her one true love again. Blake filled her over and over again, his moans of pleasure filling the room, and she opened herself completely to him.
As the sensations intensified, they were joined by something more, something deeper and more ancient, and she understood it was the bond between them flowing stronger than it ever had before. All her uncertainty about the future vanished as their souls twined together, the warmth of the love between them driving away all the fear and doubt. It felt so right, so natural to be with Blake like she’d found the other half of herself, and she opened her eyes to find him looking down at her, all the love she was feeling mirrored in his eyes.
They tumbled over the edge together then, Blake buried deeply inside of her, her cries of pleasure joining his as they were thrust into a world of pure sensation, and floated there for a long time. When they finally started to come back down to Earth, Blake collapsed on top of her, his breath coming in short gasps, and she welcomed the weight of his body as the pleasure slowly drained away, leaving her trembling with the intensity of what she’d just felt.
When Blake finally rolled off her, breaking the connection between them, she involuntarily let out a little whimper, but he gathered her into his arms and pulled her close. Lying in his arms, the sound of his heart beating in her ear, she let out a long sigh of happiness, then looked up to find him smiling down at her, and she felt a blush spreading across her cheeks.
“I love it when you blush like that,” he said, leaning down and giving her a kiss. “I’m just wondering what you were thinking about that made you blush like that.”
“Nothing really,” she said, the look in his eyes making her body begin to tingle again. “I’m just happy, that’s all; for the first time, I think everything is going to be okay.”
“I told you it would be,” he said. “What we share is special, Wren; it’s a gift that most people search their entire lives to find. We’re lucky, sweetheart, and I’m never going to forget it.”
Pulling out of his arms, she sat up and looked down at him. “I love you, Blake,” she said. “I’ve loved you since you walked onto my father’s boat, and I’m going to love you for the rest of my life.”
“I love you too, Wren,” he said. “I love you more than I ever thought possible, and I can’t wait to start our lives together.”
Theo came roaring back into her head. “Blake, we have to talk,” she said. “It can’t wait any longer.”
Blake reached up and put his fingers over her lips before she could say anything more. “Tomorrow is soon enough, sweetheart,” he said. “Whatever it is can wait until the morning.”
“Blake…” she started to protest again, but he grabbed her and swung her up onto him, forcing her to straddle his hips, and she felt his swollen manhood slide between her folds, making it hard to think. “Blake, I’m serious; it can’t wait…”
“Are you sure about that?” he asked, a confident look on his face.
When he grabbed her by the hips and shifted so that he could slide inside her, she couldn’t help the sigh of pleasure that escaped from her chest. “That’s not fair,” she managed to say. “I can’t think about anything but…”
Her words died away when he slipped his hand between them and began stroking her swollen nib, sending pleasure rocketing through her. “That’s just fine with me,” he said, his voice husky. “All I want to hear right now is you calling out my name. ”
And she did, several times, before they finally fell asleep wrapped in each other’s arms, the heat of their passion finally dulled by the satisfaction of their bodies, the power of their love radiating out into the night. Outside the cabin, the trees began to stir as a breeze picked up the strands of energy and carried them up to the top of the mountain, where they were swept around the rocky peaks and then slowly soaked into the ground.
Deep below, in the heart of the island, a light appeared in a deep cave hidden behind a waterfall; it pulsed as if taking deep breaths, then began to glow steadily in the darkness. Anyone awake at that hour would have sworn that the island came to life for a brief second that early morning, as if it was shrugging off a deep sleep, but not even the man charged with protecting it noticed the small change. Only the creatures in the jungle seemed to sense something was different, but only minutes later, they settled back into their burrows and nests. Silence fell over the landscape once again, and the two lovers slept on.
