much.
    “You feel so good, beautiful. Like you were made
just for me.”
    He started off slow, but soon quickened the
pace. He bent his head to take one of her taut nipples into his
mouth, lightly tugged on it with his teeth. She begged, “Owen,
please. I need to feel you moving inside of me.”
    His fingers dug into her backside. “Touch
yourself, Caliana.”
    She didn’t even hesitate when she brought her
hand to her clit. It didn’t take long and within minutes she was
screaming Owen’s name. He pushed into her hard and fast. She felt
his strong arms flex beneath her fingers as he moved. He held her
up like she was light as a feather.
    It wasn’t long before he came too. Once they
were able to catch their breath, Owen gently placed her on the
floor. He used the sponge the clean his remnants from between her
legs, shut the shower off, reached for a towel and dried her
off.
    “Get dressed, we have plans today,” he said with
a wink.
    Owen covered his waist with a towel and left her
standing in the bathroom wondering what the day would hold. She
wouldn’t have minded staying in bed all day, but they were in
Hawaii after all. There was a huge ocean and beach outside among a
ton of other things she wanted to see.
    Cali dressed and after she finished towel drying
and styling her hair she noticed he was no longer in the bedroom.
She strolled through the house, stopping every so often to look
around. The house was enormous. She wasn’t even sure how many
bedrooms there were, but thought all of her family and friends
could sleep under its roof.
    When Cali reached the main living room she saw
him out on the deck. He was setting out breakfast for the two of
them. She stood in the doorway watching him.
    He didn’t seem to notice her standing there. Her
mind drifted, wondering why Owen wanted her, what he saw. No job,
not even looking for a new one, but what she did have was a huge
heart and the man in front of her was taking more and more of
it.
    Owen was placing food on plates. He was wearing
a dark olive green t-shirt and khaki shorts. The way the shirt
clung to his muscular arms with each movement made her hot all
over. Roving over his body, her eyes moved to take in the shape of
his firm ass and his strong legs.
This man could knock someone
out with one punch
, she thought.
    She stepped onto the deck, her sandals making a
soft clap on the wood. Owen looked up and a warm smile lit his
face. Not knowing where they were going she chose a soft pink tank
top and white, cotton shorts. She loved the way he looked at her,
taking her in. The look made her feel sexy and wanted.
    When she reached him, he brought his hand up to
brush one of her curls from her face. “You are gorgeous and you’re
mine.”
    Cali nodded. “All yours.” He took his thumb and
brushed the soft pad over her lower lip.
    “Let’s eat before I take you down to the pool
and have my way with you.”
    “Hmmm,” she said, acting like she was deep in
thought. “Maybe we can take a dip later. Might be fun.”
    “I’ll hold you to it. Now sit and eat. We have a
reservation to keep.”
    “Where are we going?” she asked.
    “Haven’t you learned yet? I like to surprise
you.”
    Mumbling she said, “I hate surprises.” But he
heard and laughed.
    They ate breakfast while watching the waves
gently lap the shore. A light breeze was blowing causing the palm
trees to rustle. Cali could see a couple of sailboats out on the
water. She was mentally etching the moment into her memory, not
wanting to forget a single minute of the trip.
    Owen kept her on her toes and she was starting
to like it. He was always moving. She usually preferred more of a
schedule, a routine. To know what every day held.
    Before, all of the surprises and spontaneity
would have driven her crazy, but she was learning to relax and go
wherever Owen wanted. The way he took care of her, always thinking
of her needs, she felt like she was in a dream, waiting to wake
up.
