Come Share My Love - By Carrie Macon Page 0,11

down her back. She laid her head upon his chest. Smelling him, unconsciously rubbing her hand across his pectoral muscle and up around his neck. She was getting comfortable. He could feel it. He liked it.

He looked down at her without missing a beat. “Look at me.” She did as he asked. He could see the desire that was in her eyes and she could see all that was in his. This island and this music were made for just the two of them. He eased his hands down her body where they rested on her firm rear end and her hand on his chest longing for him to kiss her. She knew it was coming, but, when.

Shyla had been waiting months for them to be like this so that they would have this opportunity but it never presented itself, not away from prying eyes and nosey family. She didn’t have to wait long because he could sense what she was hoping for. He wanted the same thing. He kept one hand on her bottom and lifted the other to caress her cheek. Then he lifted her chin to him where nothing but a little space separated him from tasting those beautiful, sweet lips that he had been longing to taste. He did taste. A little at first and then a little more and then he went in for the kill.

She wrapped her arms around his waist and pulled him even closer to her. Bells chimed, the waves ceased, the mercury dropped. They couldn’t hear the music any longer or the people around them dancing. The only thing they were able to hear were their rapid breathing, their own hearts beating and feeling the connection of their lips in a powerful kiss.

“Open up for me, baby,” Zackary commanded her and she obliged. Their tongues did a dance, a Jamaican waltz. Who knew this man could kiss a girl senseless. If Zackary had not been holding her up her legs would have given out. “You taste sweeter than I imagined.”

“So do you. Umm. Zackary…”

“Yes…baby…umm.”

“Zackary?”

“Uh huh.”

“We should…p-probably…Oh…God…stop.”

“Can’t,” he pressed his hand against her head so that she could not move away then sucked her lips into his. She rubbed her hand down his back to his buttock and let them rest there. A song came to his mind, ‘Clapping from the patrons of the club brought them off of their cloud nine, also stopping their progress. Shyla was embarrassed. She rested her head in his chest until she was able to catch her breath. He just smiled, he wasn’t embarrassed at all.

“I have to go.”

“Shyla wait. Where are you going?”

“I just have to go. This is so embarrassing. We should not have done that. I’m sorry.” She turned and ran.

“Shyla, wait,” he yelled. He felt like the prince in Cinderella when she ran off. Only this time there was no glass slipper left behind. Thank God he knew how to reach her.

Kemah saw her running and ran after her. “Shyla wait up. Shyla! Are you all right? What happened?”

“I just made a fool of myself. Didn’t you see what just happened? Everyone else did.”

“Yeah, I saw. Wish it had been me.” She saw the look on Shyla’s face. She wasn’t amused. “Okay look, you didn’t embarrass yourself.” Shyla’s eyes said different. “Well you shouldn’t be embarrassed. You like the guy and he likes you. It’s not like you just met, he’s not one of the island natives, and you’re not having a vacation fling. You’ve known Zackary for a while. I think you two could have something real special if only you would let it blossom,” she held her hand to Shyla’s cheek.

“I don’t want this. Any of this, Kemah, don’t you understand, I can’t have feelings for him? It’s just the island and the moonlight. All of the things that are associated with romance.”

“I know you don’t expect me to believe that. And, stop crying it’s not the end of the world. It was just a kiss. A long, hard, drop me on the bed and make love to me kiss.”

“You felt that, too. I am in so much trouble.” She paced back and forth. “That man has a pair of lips on him.”

“And a pair of hands too from what I observed.” Shyla eye bulged. “Calm down girl. Why don’t you go back and talk to him?”

“Are you crazy? I don’t want to have anything else to do with him. I am going back to the room and hide for
