stranded (closed for asetikish)

[MrGoatee]

Mason held her. "there's nobody else, my last girlfriend was years ago. Its one reason why I work in the places I do. No ties, no worries. Not even a dog" he laughed

"how about you?"

 

[asetikish]

"Me?" Jesse laughed. "You really expect me to have a boyfriend? Just look at me: more man than woman, both in looks and in attitude. You know, people expect Brazilian women to be hot Victoria's Secret models, but that's a total joke. That stereotype is really putting the rest of our species down, saying that we don't deserve being a Latina woman." She snorted in derision, despite having a similar body type. "You can just imagine my surprise that you actually kissed me..." her voice quieted in embarrassment. "That was actually my first kiss...Don't laugh. I know I'm a bit too old for a first kiss, but it is."

 

[MrGoatee]

Mason held her, 'you're amazing. Beautiful and strong. But I don't understand why you've never had a boyfriend' he lifted her chin gently, his lips finding hers again. His emotions boiled, her revelations seemed so unreal for the modern world but in reality they were far from the modern world

 

[asetikish]

Jesse didn't know if it was only because they were alone or because they had nothing to do...or if it was real...but she wanted to take the chance. She was tired of her pillows, sheets and toys keeping her company to make her feel like a woman. For now, all she wanted was to believe that she was wanted.

She returned his kiss, though a little tentative, mimicking his every move, learning from what he was doing. Her hand clutched at the sand while her other hand turned to hold his.

 

[MrGoatee]

His tongue gently pressed at her lips, letting the kiss develop. His thoughts whirled, first kiss? Surely not? He let his instinct guide him, feeling her response to his kiss.

He squeezed her hand. Letting her know it was ok and safe.

Gently he pulled back "we shouldn't rush, it wouldn't be right. The situation is strange but I need you to know this isn't happening because we are here. Being here allowed me to open up. I'm normally quite reserved. I like you" he blushed

 

[asetikish]

Jesse let all her defenses down in that kiss and when they parted, she found herself breathless. And she learned a lot.

"we shouldn't rush, it wouldn't be right. The situation is strange but I need you to know this isn't happening because we are here. Being here allowed me to open up. I'm normally quite reserved. I like you"

She couldn't be happier at his words. He liked her. Not just her body. Not because she was a friend, but he really liked her! She nodded and lay her head on his shoulder. "I like you too..." she whispered, strangely feeling safe in the presence of a stranger. And strangers they were! Not even two days had passed and they were already kissing! Good lord! What was she doing? It was against all Catholic values that she was supposed to follow. And yet...

She looked up at him, hope in his eyes. "I've always had people important to me leave. Please promise me that even when we fall apart, we'll still be friends."

When. She used the word because of her experience, expecting him to leave sooner or later.

 

[MrGoatee]

He smiled 'when we fall apart?' He squeezed her hand 'i don't want us to. I'll stay stuck here rather than leave you'

He stood, 'maybe we should walk the island and talk that way we can find out how long we have before survival gets desperate' he wanted to stay fir as long as possible, rescue now seeming unimportant

 

[asetikish]

Jesse's heart beat so wildly at his words, it felt...full. Full wasn't enough to describe it, but it was the only word she could think of. "I don't want us to, either..."

At his offer to walk, she smirked. "With my ankle? You'll get really tired supporting my weight."

 

[MrGoatee]

He winked, 'if I get tired we'll have to sit down. Besides, I'd like your opinion on what I saw yesterday' the palms are thicker back up the beach and he guessed there could be more to see. Mason held out his hand, wanting his arms round her.

 

[asetikish]

"Alright, but don't you push yourself too much. You're more useful to me healthy," she smirked playfully as she took his hand and helped herself up then leaned against him.

She felt his arm around her waist and, for the first time, she noticed how intimate their position was. But even so, she leaned on him, feeling him against her as they walked. She looked at the different plants and saw bamboo growing, sparse at first, but soon the clumps became a little more common. "Hmmm...there's fresh water here somewhere. Hopefully, not stagnant. Stagnant water will be useless for us."

 

[MrGoatee]

He held her, enjoying the contact that was now no longer functional. He timed his walk to hers.

He smiled, the bamboo looked close and he felt confident that there would be safe water. 'wait here' he smiled and leaned to kiss her again, his body pressed fully against hers. He moved away and pushed into the bamboo, stepping carefully and cautiously.

As he moved he saw the thick bamboo stalks standing in isolation. The trees thinning above and around. Slowly revealed was the pool, the bamboo edging it, clear and clean. He was able to see the lightly weeded bottom and hear the trickle from a small stream.

'its clean and clear!' He called

 

[asetikish]

Jesse couldn't help but sigh as he kissed her again. The feeling she got every time their lips met gave her a thrill. And when their bodies touched, she shuddered felling his hard muscles. As soon as they parted, she felt a loss.

Obediently, she sat on a rock and waited, smiling when he told her the good news. "That's one problem down."

"Um, if you don't mind me asking, what happened to you and your girlfriend?"

 

[MrGoatee]

He shrugged at her question, 'she wanted more' he sighed 'more 'variety' in the bedroom I suppose' he smiled 'found her in my best friends bed' he laughed.

He looked at Jesse 'its one thing I don't do, share' he laughed 'i took off selling up and concentrating on the business. It let me build up and travel the world. See amazing places and get in plane crashes he smiled 'but that has perks' he leaned close again and kissed her. Pulling her into an embrace

 

[asetikish]

"Oh, I'm so sorry! That was...I'm sorry." She reckoned that his best friend was now an ex too. "That's a very shallow reason! It's stupid!"

"ts one thing I don't do, share. i took off selling up and concentrating on the business. It let me build up and travel the world. See amazing places and get in plane crashes. but that has perks."

Jesse sighed in their kiss and gave into his embrace. "Perks? Oh, I don't know. It seems like your idea of perks doesn't make you right in the head," she teased him.

 

[MrGoatee]

He grinned 'you don't think you are a perk?' He kissed her then ,'feels like a perk to me' his tongue gently teasing het lips, his breath becoming deeper. His hands kept her close, not wanting to release their embrace

 

[asetikish]

"I--" before she could say anything he kissed her again silencing her. For the most part all she experienced in kissing were his lips. Now that his tongue was playing with her lips, her own parted her breathing getting as heavy as his was.

Jesse wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling. "Hmmm...I reckon that's more than for survival."

 

[MrGoatee]

He smiled, holding her to him 'absolutely' he grinned. 'look, we should get some of this water back to the camp. Why don't you sit here and wait for me while I get those water bottles.' He understood the more rest Jesse got, the quicker she would heal. 'I need a wash in some clean water too!' He lifted his arm and pretended to sniff, his face curling comically.

He kissed her gently again, 'be right back' he whispered

 

[asetikish]

Jesse nodded and sat down obediently. It wasn't long before she realized what he meant. He needed a wash, if he did he...would be...naked? The thought made her blush. But no, maybe...

Her thoughts went round and round, flustered, until she realized she needed to take a bath too. She flushed even deeper. But maybe it wouldn't be so bad. After all, they could take turns. Or there was a huge rock in the middle of the stream where there could hide from each other.

A part of her, though, was going to be very disappointed if she wasn't going to see more of him.

 

[MrGoatee]

He walked back, carrying the bottles. As he approached he began to undo his shirt, letting it flap open. He smiled as he filled the bottles, letting the water fill each one in turn. 'you joining me?' He smiled as he placed the last one on the ground and began to pile his clothes beside it.

Facing away from her he removed the last of his clothes then stepped into the water until it reached his waist. Mason turned smiled 'its cold but so good!' He then dipped into the eater, soaking his body and enjoying the feel of the clean water.

 

[asetikish]

"You joining me?"

"I-ahh...uh..." Jesse bit her lip as she watched Mason strip. She tried to look away, but she was so mesmerized, she had only managed to take control of her body when he started pulling down his underwear.

The water did look cool and so refreshing, she knew she needed it, but she would have to get naked like him. Her face reddened, but she nodded. She fumbled at the laces of her remaining shoe, her heart beating wildly. Taking her clothes off one by one, she was so flustered unable to believe that she was actually stripping in front of someone. She was down to her tank top and her underwear when she couldn't take it anymore.

"Um...please don't look..." she asked before taking off her tank top and her underwear and made her way slowly to the water. It was cool and she almost gasped feeling so refreshed for the first time in a long time.

She got down lower in the water until it covered most of her chest. "I just wish we had shampoo. There's supposed to be a vine you can use for soap and shampoo, but I don't remember what it looks like."

 

[MrGoatee]

Mason was aware of her nervousness, he looked away and stayed a little distant. 'a shampoo vine?' He smiled 'sounds heavenly!' He dunked his face into the water and blew a few bubbles. Laughing as he surfaced again. 'we'll take a slow look over the next few days, unless we get off here!' He swam to the bank again and sat in the shallows, facing the jungle. 'its peaceful here. Would be paradise if it weren't for....'

He paused and his head dropped a little 'I'll not look till you say I can'

 

[asetikish]

Jesse couldn't help but laugh along with Mason. She couldn't explain it. He made her feel so good and sometimes, she forgot herself having fun with him. As he swam away from him, she couldn't help but frown. She knew she was the one making things awkward for them both, so it was time to rectify things.

She waded near him and touched his arm. "I'm sorry. I'm just a little shy." She took a deep breath. "I guess you can look. But, don't tease me about being too red in the face."

"So...this would be paradise if it weren't for us being stranded here?"

 

[MrGoatee]

He smiled and turned, his eyes not leaving hers and his hand dipping below the surface to take hers. "yes, it's not that we're together, it's that we are stuck here. Trying to survive, not able to just be." He looked at her "if we were anywhere else, together you'd have that wall of yours up and I'd be quiet, so I'm grateful we're here. Just would prefer a but more comfort."

He leaned in close to kiss her, letting their bodies touch.

 

[asetikish]

Electricity shot through her body as he closed the gap between them. She could feel the heat of his skin on hers as she closed her eyes. The cool water was slowly getting warm as she pressed even closer responding to his advance. Her other hand rested on his shoulder as she let her instincts guide her kisses.

"I'd say this is comfortable enough," she whispered on his lips.

 

[MrGoatee]

He sighed and pulled her closer, now crushing her gently against him, he kissed her now more urgently, his instinct driving his actions caution abandoned. Softly he caressed her cheek and stepped back slightly, trailing his hand down to her breast, caressing her gently " you ok?" He smiled
