The warm waves kissed the tops of my toes as I just stood there on the beach's shore and watched the warm glow coming from the crevace in between the rocks.
It was just a few yards away but my feet suddenly felt as if they were made of lead.
"Come on grace, this not the time to chicken out. Grow some balls already." I imagined a pair of fuzzy ones growing down below and giggled to myself.
I could have stayed there all night, watching how the waves played accross the oceans horizon. The moon's soft light bathed the small island, it seemed to almost glow.
Taking a deep breath i started to walk (cowboy style, to make room for my newly found balls) twords the small pintoresque island.
The shallow waters only made it to mid calf as I grabbed onto the stone ledge. Placing my feet on on the stones for support I slowly made myself up to the spongey beach grass atop.
My heart was pounding against my chest as I got closer to the curtain of vines that covered the entrance to Zephyr's domain.
I can, without a doubt, confirm that I have never been here in my life. But something about this place seems familiar. Like from a distant dream.
I took a moment to appreciate a small plant inside of what looked like a extremely old and battered tea kettle, placed just beside the entrance.
Inside was a delicate looking plant with thin stems and large white flowers. As I picked up the kettle a single ray of moonlight fell on it and I was stunned to see the flower sparkle like if it was dusted in diamond dust.
Suddenly I heard a rustling behind me and I fell out of my trance.
Placing the plant back to where I found it I moved to my left and pulled the curtain of vines aside while ducking under them.
I didn't expect to see what was inside. Instead of a creepy cave it looked like a moody and modern rustic stone-walled loft.
Just like Elle's room, the entire back wall was a vast glass window with two burgundy silk curtains hanging on each side. The view of the ocean and the full moon was breathtaking.
To the right of the window pushed into a corner was a big book shelf lined with old looking leather bound books, a worn leather chair and a small wooden workbench with a bunch of small metal gears and pieces scattered across it.
To the left, planted in a shaggy black woolen rug, there was a equaly black marble tub big enough for two, with a matching stool. And not even four feet from it, in the corner, was a large burgundy silk-covered bed with a mountain of pillows placed atop.
"I'm in love", i said, taking in my surroundings.
This was the opposite of my style, as I was used to the pale blues and whites of my bedroom that calmed me and matched the clear blue skies of my home town. But there was just something about this rugged and masculine place that called out to me.
And yet, I loved it.
I sat on the edge of the velvet colored covers and sighed to myself, "alright, now that I'm here, where are you, Zephyr?".
Suddenly the mountain of pillows started moving and I yelped.
Up from in between the pillows emerged a fluff of chocolate brown hair and two lazy eyes. "You rang?" Said a sleepy voice.
Knowing who the mess of hair belonged to I quickly got to my feet.
"I um, I just talked to Elle... And um, she thought it would be best to come and um... talk to you about, well... Every thing?"
Way to go Gracie. So much for having had grown a pair...
Zephyr just looked at me for a moment, maybe contimplating going back to sleep.
Suddenly he pulled his long arms above his head, which I noticed were tattooed, and stretched. This movement caused the plethora of pillows to fall off the bed and reveal the vastness of his chest.
He was naked.
My eyes practically fell out of their sockets as they traced all of the lines that formed his body. From the way his collar bone peaked to the ripples that furnished his abdomen and defined the deep V just below it.
His legs and where those two lower lines met were barely covered by de deep burgundy of his silk sheets.
Thank god I closed my mouth in time to not embarrass myself any more than I already did.
He seemed to not have noticed my visual assault and after his provocative stretch, continued to remove a thin leather chord from his wrist, pull all of his lovey locks from his face and tie them atop his head into a man-bun.
"Is that a no?" A smokey voice pulled me out of my self discipline.
"Um, sorry. What?", I blinked at him.
He gave me a sexy smirk and and repeated, "I said, Do you like what you see?"
I could feel my face growing hot.
"Um, no. I mean yes, but not you. It's not what you think..." I breathed in, and admitted defeat. "Um, Your cave is realy pretty." I wispered pathetically.
Zephyr chuckled. "I have to confess, and this may sound... New to you, " he added bitterly," but its nothing you haven't already seen... And touched... before." He said. Looking at me from hooded eyes.
"Um, yeah well ok.... Iook, I'm sorry but I'm not sure what to make of any of this at the moment." I said truthfully.
He looked disappointed and then his face hardened. "Well, what do you want?"
"I told you, Elle sent me to..."
Angrily, He cut me off, "I said, 'what do you want' not 'what are you doing." He stared at me with eyes full of hurt.
"I don't understand your question." I wispered back scared at his reaction.
Suddenly he got up, letting what was left under the covers to full view. He made his way to me in all his naked glory.
"Tell me. What do you want?" He was now face to face with me and I swallowed hard. Slowly I made my way backwards, only to have him move into my space once again.
Our waltz ended as the cold rock touched my bare back and his chest collided with mine.
The air between us was static, my breathing quickened as his hips planted themselves on my abdomen, his member slowly making his presence known.
I have never been in this position with a man before. I have never even been close to something like this, i was scared, i was self conscious and yet, I was intoxicated.
"What. Do. you. want." He repeated. Lowering himself to my ear his breath caressing it, "Do you want to leave?" He said, as he placed his hands on my waist. Tucking his thumbs into my waistband.
"Do you want answers?" He said as he made his way up my sides and placed his hands on my neck ever so slowly.
He ducked his head slightly and kissed the spot where my neck met my shoulder. His kiss sent Sparks throughout my body and my breathing quickened as I felt a heat spread down my stomach and between my legs.
"What do you want?" He wispered one last time.
"I want you." I answered. My mind running circles. My body hot all over, overwhelmed with his presence. Even his musky sent had my senses ablaze.
He dropped his hands to my wrists, grabbing them and roughly pulling them up above my head while at the same time placing his knee in between my legs and shifting it upward against my warmth. I let out a low grunt as my center pulsed.
His mouth hovered over mine for a moment and then he devoured me. He pressed his lips against mine, the soft bristles of his short stubble agaist my chin. His tounge exploring my mouth making me moan into his.
After what seemed like forever, his mouth unleashed me just in time for me to breathe in a rougged breath. For a moment he stared at me, my arms still pinned above me, the green in his eyes captivating every part of me.
He got back to the soft spot above my ear and wispered...
"Right answer."
