Page 48 of His Hawaiian Heart
The eyes he’d caught, dropped south the moment he hooked his thumbs into the waistband of his Wranglers.
“For he knows that this was what he was born to do. His sole reason for existing is to win the female over.”
When the head of his cock peeked out, I swallowed hard. Unlike a woman wearing a dress, he couldn’t just simply release his hold and let the jeans fall… but I’d never been happier as his having to push the denim down extended the documentary. When his glorious cock emerged to jut straight out from his groin, I knew that strangled moan hadn’t come from a male throat, but from a female who couldn’t have looked away if a meteor streaked across the sky above her.
“Shedding the last of his defenses, the male has but one thing left to do,” he continued as he stepped first one leg and then the other from the jeans and dropped them to the ground. “He stands before the female and waits for her decision. Had he won the honor of mating her or will she turn him away?”
I didn’t bother to speak. I simply shed my own camouflage until I was asau naturelas he. “She is honored to have been chosen, honored to witness the male’s dance. And when hefinally stands before her, she has but one thing left to do.” As I uttered the last word, I pounced and my mate proved worthy as he caught me and twirled me in that dance until we both fell into the pool.
We came up sputtering, laughing and coughing a bit. “You are so wonderfully wonderful,” I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist.
“Who knew that insects have all sorts of strange rituals? I’d say it boggles the mind, but having you here, in my arms, I understand the reasoning.”
I smiled and placed a kiss on his sternum and then one on his left pec followed by his right, loving the sight of his nipples as tight as mine. I could feel his arms supporting me and his erection brushing against the crack of my ass. “I wonder if those males would do all that magnificent strutting if they knew that the price of success could lead to their death. There are many species where the female shows her appreciation of his courtship by eating the male.”
“Babygirl,” he said as one hand moved from under my ass to slide along my spine. It burrowed beneath the weight of my wet hair and ended its journey at the nape of my neck.
The feel of his fingers wrapping around my throat had my essence sliding to join the water where we stood. He pressed his forehead to mine and my blood heated as pure lust shone from eyes the color of the forest encircling our piece of paradise.
“That’s exactly what I’m counting on.”
I learned that it was not only possible to kiss someone underwater, one could wrap her lips around a cock. Granted, it was awkward and couldn’t be very satisfying, but it let my male know his female was willing to give it her best try. When I came up for air for the fourth time, Sam brushed my hair off my face and grinned.
“We’ll let that be the preliminary act. Ready to learn what hides behind a waterfall?”
“Yes!”
It turned out that while swimming across the pond was easy to start, the closer we got to where the surface was splashing high with the water’s plummet from the cliff, I began to lag further behind. Then I realized that for every yard I moved forward, I lost half that distance with the force of the water pushing me back.
“Sam!” I shouted, not sure he could even hear me with the thunder of the falls. However, he either heard or sensed me as he turned immediately and began to swim toward me. When he reached me, I realized his face looked strained. Not by any physical effort he’d made but because he was worried about me.
“I’m fine,” I assured him as I tread water. “It’s just too strong. I’m good staying here. You go ahead.”
“Put your arms around my neck and hang on.”
“I don’t want to drown you.”
He reached for me and stroked a finger across my cheek. “No way would I allow that to happen. If I drowned then I’d never know if you’re a man-eater or simply a beautiful butterfly. I promise, I’ve got you.”
I truly wasn’t worried about myself, but that wasn’t the issue. He was asking me to trust him to know what he was capable of. To trust him to protect me… not hypothetically, but literally. “Okay, but promise if you tire, remember you don’t need to impress the girl. You won her a long time ago.”
“Noted,” he said as he reached for my hand and turned away, drawing it up his body. I hooked my fingers around his shoulder and then did the same with my other hand until I was lying flat along his back. “When we hit the falls, hold your breath and play mermaid until we come up on the other side. Okay?”
“Yes, Sir,” I said, adrenaline pouring through me.
I’d seen him swim but feeling his muscles shift with each stroke was amazing. The pressure of the water as he neared the falls didn’t even slow him down. Though my head was well above the surface, I could feel the splash of the water on my face. The only sound I could hear was the water’s power as it pounded along the length of our bodies. If I’d not been told what I needed to do, I probably would have swallowed a lot of that water. Instead, when I saw Sam’s head lift, I knew it was time. I inhaled deeply and held it as he dove beneath the surface.
I didn’t have time to panic before I felt the dive reversing and then we broke the surface. I gasped—not just to draw in oxygen but in awe.
“Oh my god.”
“Right?” Sam said and continued swimming, his long, even strokes cutting through water that grew calmer as we swam further away from the falls.
I looked around, mesmerized at the different world now surrounding us. Gone was the blue of the sky and the white of the clouds. The green of the forest had been replaced by a sheen of sapphire, which then darkened to cobalt as we swam deeper into a cavern that was completely concealed from the other side.
“I can swim now,” I said once I realized there was no longer a current tugging at my body.
“If you want,” he returned.
