Lost Paradise (The Savages of the Blue Lagoon)

Chapter 34

As I carry Eve through the jungle, her protests are a constant murmur in my ear, but I don't let her down. Her small fists pound lightly against my back, and her efforts are futile against my resolve. The path to the lagoon is well-trodden, each step bringing us closer to the secluded spot.

"Jack, put me down!" she demands again, her voice a mix of frustration and exasperation.

I ignore her, focusing on the familiar sounds of the jungle around us—the rustling leaves, the distant calls of birds, and the soft crunch of my steps on the forest floor. Finally, the trees open up, revealing the shimmering lagoon. I stride forward until we're at the water's edge and then gently set her down.

Eve glares at me, brushing the dirt off her clothes. "Oh, is that what you wanted? Just to do your usual voyeurism?" she snaps, her eyes flashing with anger. "Should I undress and bathe in the lagoon and let you watch? Is that the kind of talk you want to have?"

I cross my arms over my chest, a smirk tugging at the corner of my lips. I observe her with interest, my eyes tracing the curves of her body, lingering on her face and plump lips. My mind wanders to all the illicit things she's capable of doing with them, and despite my best efforts, I feel the heat rising within me, suffering a severe sudden stiffie.

"You're impossible," she mutters, her cheeks flushing under my gaze.

I stay silent, my smirk widening slightly. The frustration and fire in her eyes only add to her allure. I can see the confusion and anger battling within her, and it fascinates me. She crosses her arms, mirroring my stance, and stands her ground .

"Jack, what do you want?" she finally asks, her voice softer but still laced with irritation.

I take a step closer, our faces inches apart. “There’s not going to be a great discussion here. Not like the banter you have with Foster, Byron, or Zane.”

Eve narrows her eyes. "I knew it."

"But if you ever disappear again like you did, leaving me reeling with worry, I’ll make my own sacrifice of you," I warn, my tone serious despite the playful smirk on my face.

Her eyes search mine, the anger giving way to something more vulnerable. She swallows hard, the tension between us thickening. For a moment, neither of us speaks, the only sounds being the gentle waterfall and the distant calls of the jungle.

I watch her intently, my smirk widening as I revel in the closeness, in the unspoken connection that has been simmering between us. She hesitates, opening her mouth to speak, then closing it again as if searching for the right words. Her fingers fidget, and she takes a deep breath.

"Jack, I..." She trails off, her eyes dropping to the ground before meeting mine again. "I believe I'm falling in love with you."

Her confession hangs in the air, heavy and electric. My smirk fades, replaced by a genuine smile as I step even closer, my hands gently cupping her face.

"I'm already there with you," I say softly, my voice steady and full of conviction.

Her eyes widen, a mix of surprise and relief flooding her expression. "You are?"

"Yes," I reply, my thumb brushing across her cheek. " This whole time, I've been falling for you, Eve. From the moment I spotted you waiting for the ferry in Dunrowan, I knew you were mine."

The revelation is mind-blowing for her, and I can see the emotions swirling in her eyes—disbelief, joy, and a touch of fear. She blinks rapidly, a tear escaping down her cheek. I catch it with my thumb, my smile growing.

"You don’t have to worry about disappearing again," she whispers, her voice shaky but resolute. "I won’t leave you, Jack.”

I pull her into a tight embrace, my heart pounding with a mix of relief and elation. Holding her close, I feel the weight of our circumstances lift, if only for a moment.

Eve looks up at me, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, her lips slightly part. The vulnerability in her gaze draws me in, and I can’t resist the pull any longer. Leaning down, I capture her lips in a hot, fervent kiss.

Her lips are soft and warm against mine, and she responds immediately, her hands gripping the front of my jacket as if anchoring herself to me. The kiss deepens, growing more urgent as our shared emotions pour out in this intimate moment. I slide one hand to the back of her neck, holding her firmly but gently, while the other wraps around her waist, pulling her even closer.

The heat of the kiss, the taste of her, the feel of her body against mine—it's overwhelming and intoxicating.

When we finally break apart, both of us are breathless, our foreheads resting against each other. Eve’s eyes flutter open, her cheeks flushed, and a dazed smile sits on her lips. I kiss the tip of her nose, and she smiles wider.

"Jack," she whispers, her voice a blend of awe and affection.

I smile back at her, my heart swelling with a mix of love and determination. "We’re in this together, Eve. No matter what."

She nods, her fingers tracing the line of my jaw. "Together," she repeats, her voice firm with resolve.

I reach over and grab the back of her neck, dragging her closer to me. Looking down at her big blue eyes, I see them flare with need, dancing with erotic thoughts. Sinking into the kiss, I hold her face and stroke my thumb over her jaw, fascinated by her soft skin.

Smoothing her hair, I run my hand down her back and cup her arse, squeezing it a little. She pushes her pelvis against my hard arousal, feeling my hungry desperation and equally desperate for her share too. I kiss her like a man possessed. Our tongues duel with each other. She’s devouring every bit of dark inside me like it’s all she ever needed.

I pull away from her and watch her catching her breath.

“You’ve taken a chunk of my soul, Wildcat, and you can keep it. Because I intend to stay yours until the moon no longer haunts the night and the stars whisper our names in forgotten tongues.”

She gasps heavily, her eyes darken with a mixture of longing and fear. Her lips tremble, caught between a smile and a sob.

"Then we'll face eternity together, my love, in light and in darkness. Until the end of time itself tries to separate us." She says in a sultry whisper, her voice cutting through the heavy silence .

I gaze deeply into her eyes, feeling the weight of her words settle into my soul. The sound of the waterfall and the hums of the jungle creatures envelop us, creating a cocoon of intimacy.

"In this world and the next," I murmur, my voice steady and unwavering. "No force, no darkness, will ever come between us. You are my forever."

Her face finally crashes against mine in an explosion of stars that should have rocked the galaxy. I push against her as my arms wrap around her in a fierce embrace, forcing her closer to me. I feel her knees shaking as our mouths collide, and her hands explore under my jacket and T-shirt, searching for bare skin. I love the way she touches my muscles as our kiss continues wet and dirty.

But this isn’t enough, though. I need to touch Eve’s raw flesh to taste every essence of her.

In no time, we’re both undressed, and I scoop her in my arms and carry her carefully through to the shallow end of the lagoon, where I lay her down into the water.

My tongue runs down her neck, digging into the hollows of her collarbone as my free hand cups her breast, thumb on her nipple. I feel her shudder in my arms at my touch, her pelvis grinding against mine, wanting more.

I make a map of hickeys and bite marks across her neck and shoulder, like a constellation of our passion, each mark telling the story of our intertwined souls etched into her fair skin.

Eve’s back arches in pleasure as her head tips back into the heavenly blue sky. I slide my hand down her body until I get to her slit and push my fingers through. Before she can gasp, I close my lips over her mouth and catch her breath. Her chest heaves with need as she spreads her thighs open, desperate for my touch as she lets me know with a moan that reverberates down my throat.

Every stroke of my fingers on her is magic.

My stiff knob throbs with need; it’s flushed and weeping. I release my face from hers and lock my eyes on her beautiful face with full red lips. Without wasting a second more, I climb over her and position myself between her legs, and thrust my rock-hard cock inside her. She wraps her legs around me in a welcome embrace.

In one swift move, I grab hold of her arms and pull us up to sit and face each other. Without releasing myself from her, I spread my legs out around her. I don’t give her time to question what I’m doing as I slide my hands under her arse.

She instinctively wraps her legs around me, and we grind slowly against each other, our legs entwined and our bodies pressed closely together, staring at one another, lost in pure divinity.

The jungle around us is alive, yet the only sound we’re focused on is the rhythmic beat of each other’s hearts.

Her hands rest gently on my shoulders, fingers tracing the lines of my muscles. My hands hold her waist, thumbs brushing softly against her skin. Our foreheads touch, eyes closed, as we share breaths countering gentle pelvis thrusts against each other..

"I can feel your heartbeat," she whispers, her lips barely moving against mine. "It's like a drum, grounding me, anchoring me to this moment."

I smile, my breath warm against her face. "And I feel yours," I reply, my voice a low murmur. "It's like a song, guiding me, pulling me deeper into you."

The waterfall’s gentle cascade creates a soothing backdrop to our shared silence, the cool mist mingling with the heat of our bodies. The connection between us is electric. I lean in, pressing a tender kiss to Eve’s temple, then her cheek, before capturing her lips in a kiss that speaks of pure, eternal devotion.

Her hands slide up to cup my face, deepening the kiss as she tilts her head, giving herself fully to the moment. When we finally pulled apart, breathless and flushed, we rest our foreheads together once more, eyes opening to meet in a gaze that speaks volumes.

“In this position, we’re one,” she says softly, a smile playing on her lips. “Two souls intertwined, two hearts beating as one.”

I nod, my thumb tracing lazy circles on her back. “And like this, we’ll stay. No matter what the world throws at us, no matter how time tries to pull us apart. We’ll always find our way back to each other.”

She closes her eyes, savoring the warmth of my words and the security of my embrace. “Always,” she whispers, letting the word echo between us, and I lean down and bite hard into her shoulder, sealing that vow as I nip her skin to draw a little blood.

“Oh…fuck…!” she screams in pain and ecstasy as the hand I snuck between us earlier flicks her clit with one stroke of my forefinger. I feel her shudder over me. “Ahhh!” She bites down hard on my shoulder to muffle her cries.

“Fuck, Wildcat!” the pain vibrates through me as she pierces my skin, and suddenly as she sucks, I feel myself roar as my orgasm hits me. She rides my cock harder. I squeeze her harder as that bite of pain is the final straw that makes me shatter.

My face contorts in bliss and agony. Nothing has ever felt so good, and I don’t want this to end. A fierce growl leaves my throat. I can’t hold back. It’s too much. I need to come.

As soon as she rolls her hips over me to take me deeper and her hand anchors in my hair, I grip her hips tight, let myself go, convulse, and shudder. I move my head away to see her, locking eyes with hers as my cock jerks and releases.

Her eyes widen with a mix of surprise and pleasure, a soft gasp escaping her lips as she feels the intensity of my release. I watch as her expression transforms from anticipation to satisfaction, her own breath quickening with arousal. She leans forward, pressing her forehead against mine, holding me close as we both revel in the aftermath of our shared passion.

The sounds of the jungle continue around us, but at this moment, only the two of us are entwined in the profound intimacy of our connection. As we catch our breaths, I whisper hoarsely against her lips, "I love you," the words are a declaration of the depth of my feelings.

Eve smiles tenderly, brushing her lips against mine in a gentle kiss. "I love you too," she murmurs, her voice filled with warmth and contentment.

We remain tangled together, hearts beating in sync.

I’m never letting this wildcat go, not after experiencing this bond, for she has sunk her claws deep into my soul, marking me as hers for eternity. Our love is a pact sealed in blood and passion. We are bound to each other.

She is my wildcat, my eternal muse.
