Free Naked and Defiant by Breanna Hayse

uncomfortably aware of the warm,
soft, naked body that slept tucked safely in his arms. The winds
swirled viciously around them through the night, their howls joined
by the sounds of pounding sheets of rain and claps of deafening
thunder. Jade shivered, scooting closer to Griffon for comfort. She
had sniffled throughout the night, and he had not missed the tiny
groans as she shifted positions and bumped her tender backend. He
was torn with both the desire to have her and the impulse to run
from her. Regardless, he could do neither at this time. With a
frustrated sigh, Griffon gently unraveled his arms, clearing his
throat as his manhood began to respond to the wiggling of her soft,
rounded bottom against him.
    "Please keep still. You are, uh, you know
..."
    "If you want to make love to me, I wouldn't
stop you," Jade whispered.
    "I'm not that type of guy. I believe in
commitment, and ..."
    "Are you afraid you might start feeling
something for me?" Jade asked, turning to face him. His rigid pole
poked into her tummy through his shorts. "Two people can have sex
without needing anything but physical satisfaction."
    Griffon pulled away and sat up against the
hard tree trunk, shaking his head. "I am not much of a hedonist,
sorry. As for your question: no, I am not afraid. I am protecting
you. You are too vulnerable right now. It would be too easy for you
to get hurt."
    "I'll be fine! Don't try to convince me that
you aren't interested, either. Your body gives you away," Jade
snapped, sitting up as best as she could.
    Griffon reached over to stroke her face. "See
how hurt you are just by imagining that I am rejecting you, when I
haven't? The time is not right just yet ... for either of us. Let's
work on becoming friends first."
    "That is so stupid!"
    "Please, trust my judgment. Bottom still
stinging?" When Jade did not answer, Griffon simply reached over
and grabbed her wrist, pulling her deftly over his thighs. He
calmed her struggles with a quiet 'shush' and began to gentle rub
her sore, swollen mounds with a surprisingly gentle hand.
    He felt her relax under ministrations and was
rewarded with the sound of weeping. He hushed her again, gently,
allowing his soft touch to reassure her that she was safe and
protected.
    "I ... I can't stop crying," she sobbed.
"What is wrong with me?"
    "Nothing. You're going through some changes
in your heart, that's all," Griffon answered.
    "That makes no sense."
    "It makes total sense. You are learning to
trust and how to submit."
    "I don't like how I feel," she whimpered.
"Please, let me up."
    Griffon drew her into his arms. "You will
learn to like this feeling in time, believe me. It looks like the
rain's letting up a bit. Wanna go outside? Bring your bow and show
me if you are any good."
    He held her hand as they picked their way
over the debris and down to the beach. Griffon grinned, holding up
an object. "My captain's chair looks like it has seen better days,"
he laughed.
    Jade cringed at the mangled mess. "It looks
like the reef beat it up. Oh, here's the radio. Geesh ..."
    The sun shone brightly as the two gathered
pieces of Griffon's boat from the shoreline, talking about how to
effectively use the debris. Griffon spontaneously hugged Jade when
she shot a good-sized lizard for dinner.
    "I am so proud of you," he said. "You are
learning the essentials of survival."
    "Like making a beat-up boat chair into a
throne for me?" Jade asked.
    "You might think you are the princess, but I
am still the king. What I meant is that you are accepting your
circumstances for what they are and learning to make the best of
them." Griffon chuckled. He held up the anchor chain. "What can we
use this for?"
    "To dangle me from a tree so you can whip me
with a feather?" Jade said, mischievously.
    "Would you like that?" Griffon asked, raising
his eyebrow.
    Jade blushed. "I was just kidding."
    He studied her for a moment. "Tell me the
truth. Is that something you might like?"
    "I don't know exactly. I really like
