Chapter Six

I woke up in daylight surrounded by warmth. Every muscle in my body felt sore but in a good way. A familiar spicy scent tickled my nose and I realized Vincent was holding me in his arms tight against his chest, his calm breaths against the back of my shoulder and the morning breeze a feathery touch to my skin. Though no longer hard, he was still inside me. We were wrapped in layers of velvety blankets beneath a purplish-red roof under a dazzling blue sky. The fire in the pit had gone out. Was this another dream?

I shifted my naked body in his arms to face him and studied his stunning features. His dirty-blonde hair was disheveled. Traces of dry chocolate hung at the corner of his lip. I wiped it off with my finger and sucked the pad.

His eyes opened slowly, blinking a few times then revealing those dark irises I’d become so fond of.

“Hey,” I said softly.

His lips curved up lazily. “Hey.”

“It’s morning.”

He rubbed the drowsiness out of his eyes. “Did you sleep well?”

I nodded. I hadn’t even remembered falling asleep. I couldn’t remember ever being separated from Vincent’s body last night. Had I fallen asleep with him inside me?

He yawned like a lion waking from slumber. “How do you feel?”

“Like I’d been thrown around by a tornado. You?”

He smiled. “Like I was in a fight with a panther.” He twisted his head to look over his own shoulder. There were long red streaks marking his golden skin.

I gasped and began lightly massaging around the wounds, hoping it would help with the pain. “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize I was scratching you.”

“I didn’t either.” His lips gently kissed the tip of my nose. “Definitely feisty.”

“I got carried away. I didn’t know I had that side of me. I promise I’ll be more careful.”

He kissed my forehead. “That’s going to be hard because I intend to bring that side out as much as I can.”

“But I hurt you, Vincent.”

He nuzzled his cheek against my head. “You make me feel alive.”

I curled up into him, kissing his neck, inhaling his scent into my lungs. He was almost too good to be true.

“By the way, I’m sorry about your clothes,” he said.

“It’s all right. They were in the way. I won’t miss them.”

“We’ll get you some new ones once we get back to the city.”

“That sounds fun.”

“Speaking of fun,” he said. “I was thinking we’d explore the island today and do some birdwatching. You interested?”

I voiced my excitement for the activity, my adolescent interest in birds recently reignited.

After cuddling in front of the waves for a while, we decided to head back to the cabin. Vincent put his clothes back on and I had to make do with a blanket in place of the garments that had been destroyed in the heat of last night’s passion. We rinsed up, put on fresh clothes, and ate a light breakfast of eggs and toast in the cabin.

I was perusing the pictures next to the fireplace while he went to find a set of binoculars.
