Cast Away (closed for musiciankane & I)

The full moon looked beautiful, the skies clear and starry, and Anna looked up and made out the constellations with which she was familiar. There was the Big Dipper, and Orion. She loved how peaceful it was out on deck in the dark on her own. She climbed up on the railing running around the side, and sat on the edge. The soft rolling motion of the cruise ship, and the sound of the waves as they slapped against the sides was soothing to her soul. She had thought a cruise was a good way to get away from it all, but in actuality, the incessant organised activity, was slowly driving her insane.

In the moonlight, she made out several dolphins, swimming in the bow wave, and leaned forward to get a better look. In that instant, she knew she had made a mistake. She slipped, and managed to grasp the side of one of the life boats, attached to the side. Her surprised scream attracted the attention of a male passenger, who had stood in the shadows, silently watching her. He lunged for her, and in that split second, they both tumbled into the sea.

He couldn't believe she could be so stupid. Jake groaned as he looked at the ruined lifeboat, having runaground against a large rock and getting a hole punched through it. They were stuck on an island now, and none that Jake could think of in the middle of the Northern Pacific. He had been on a cruise to Japan from San Fransisco, and it was going to be a well-deserved vacation.

When he saw the woman he thought she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. http://theplace2.ru/archive/adriana_lima/img/V287157.jpg

Hauntingly beautiful he watched her, waiting for an opening to ask her to dance. He had followed her on deck just to maybe talk to her instead. Then she fell overboard, luckily grabbing a life boat off its hooks on the way down. Jake had dived over the edge without thinking, trying to save her, and before they both knew it they were floating on the boat, while the ship disappeared from sight.

Sometime early in the morning it had runaground and been ruined on this island, leaving them both stuck.

He groaned and put his forehead against his knees, then glanced over at the woman who was still tugging at the lifeboat, trying uselessly to get it off the rock.

Anna would kick her own ass if she was able to!! The utter stupidity of sitting on the side rail! What kind of fool would do something like that, and not only had she landed herself in this mess, but she had dragged (literally) this poor guy overboard with her.

The only consolation was the lifeboat that had disengaged as she went over, and that had got them to land, but it seemed pretty deserted. She tugged uselessly at the boat, which was snagged on the shallow reef of rocks, running perpendicular to the shore.

She looked over at her would be saviour, and noted the dismal air of depression emenating from him, as he sat with his head on his knees. She thought she better hold out the olive branch, he'd been pretty silent, since they had scrambled into the life boat.

She abandoned her futile task of tugging at the ruined boat, and approached him cautiously. "Josh, isn't that what you said you name is?" At his nod, she continued, "look, I am so so sorry about all this! I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me! " She squatted down beside him, and put her hand on his knee "If I could turn back the clock, I would, but I cant. It surely wont be long before they discover what has happened and raise the alarm. In the interim, we better find water of some sort, and shelter somewhere. I think it best to remain near the shore, as they are most likely to find us here, but we also need to get as high up as we can, to see if the island is inhabited. There are a large number of unoccupied tiny islands in this part of the pacific. I have checked the lifeboat and it doesnt seem to have a gps locator. I have my cell in my pocket, but its dead as the dodo, but perhaps when it dries out, we'll get a signal". Anna was embarrassed by her stream of monologue, and his apparant indifference to her. He did speak English, she was almost sure. " Oh, I almost forgot, I'm Anna, by the way!" and she stuck out her hand.

Jake couldn't believe this girl, talking to him like it was just another day on the beach. Acting friendly and supposedly really sorry for stranding them on a fucking island. She didn't even have the decency to get his goddamn name right.

She extended her hand as if they were meeting in a club or something and wanted to simply introduced herself. Jake glanced at her hand, then let his gaze slowly move up to meet her beautiful eyes. Beautiful enough that he would care under any other situation but not anymore. Now she was basically the stupid bitch that ruined his life.

"I don't know if you've noticed but..." Jake started as he climbed to his feet, brushing the sand off his pants. "WE'RE FUCKING STRANDED!" He roared and stormed off down the beach to look for a sheltered place to camp. He found a suitable space a few hundred yards down the beach and he set about trying to yank palm tree branches free to build cover and a fire. They would need a fire to cook any creatures they might find to eat, as well as possibly signaling help.

He spun toward the woman who was in shock looking at him on the sand. "OH THE NAMES JAKE TOO BY THE WAY. NOT THAT YOU WOULD GIVE A SHIT IF I HADN'T SAVED YOUR LIFE."

Anna was rooted to the spot. Oh God! He was livid! She knew he was kinda put out,being shipwrecked here, but she didn't realise the extent. He had only mumbled his name one, so she got it wrong! At least she got the first letter right!

She watched as he stormed off down the beach, and given that he had vented his anger so, she was reluctant to follow. She felt foolish, standing impotently on the beach, so she strolled off in the opposite direction, hopefully in search of water.

The life boat had contained some basic survival items. The had a couple of thermal blankets, 4 litres of water, some water purification tablets, several high energy protien bars, a compass, and a flare gun. There was also a basic first aid kit, and a large empty container.

She began to circle the island. She stuck to the shore line, and at one point had to wade in the water, as the cliffs pervented her was walking along them. In total it took 4 hours to walk all around. There was no evidence of any man made items on the island, no jetty, lighthouse etc. She found a small stream flowing into the sea, and followed it inland a little, where she filled the container with water. She scooped up a little with her hand and tasted it, and it tasted good. She hoped there wasn't a dead animal lying in it up stream, but pushed that thought from her mind.

She returned to Jake. "Jake. I am really sorry your stuck in this situation with me! but please bear in mind that i didn't intend to fall over board, and I most definitely didn't intend to bring someone else with me! But its not like I pushed you over board, you fell, as did I - unintentionally, and accidentally! I think, for the duration we are here, it would be better if we could at least be civil to one another - what do you think?"

During her absence Jake had gathered three dozen palm tree branches and a pile of wood for fire. He was rubbing a stick against some thin brush trying to turn the smoke he was generating into a fire. Thank God for the Discovery channel he thought to himself as he blew on the smoke trying for the spark that would make this miserable at least survivable.

Jake was about to get it when anna came back and started an apology. He kept working on the fire, rubbing harder and faster. Then the stick snapped in his hand without warning and sliced his palm.

"FUCK!" He cried, and clapped his hands together to put pressure on the wound. He gave Anna a hard glance and spun away. "I'm trying to think of any way this could be any worse, then you come along and show me." He said holding his wound out toward her.

Then he spun away and walked to the water. The salt water wound disinfect the wound and so long as he could keep the sand out of it he would be fine. He screamed as he dipped his hand into the water. It was a pain he never could have imagined.

Anna watched as he stormed off down to the water, to rinse the blood from his hand. He was so completely hostile to her, that she was tempted to set up camp elsewhere, and leave Mr. Happy to his own devices, but she knew their chances for survival and rescue were better if they stuck together. Falling overboard wasn't something that she had done on purpose, and she hadn't called him to help her even, it was entirely his own fault he fell overboard too. He was determined to behave like a spoilt child, and if it hadn't been for the patent difference in their sizes, she would have given him one hell of a spanking, to knock some sense into him!!! She couldn't get that image out of her mind, and was still blushing furiously when he returned.

To occupy herself, she continued with the sticks, and after 20 minutes had managed to start a fire. Well, perhaps start a fire was overstating it. The was a little whisp of smoke eminating from the dried hay like material.

Anna turned to face him, as he sat sullenly on a rock nearby. "Look, whether or not you like it, and trust me, I'm under no illusion that you do like it, we are stuck here until we get rescued. Now, it is not going to be more pleasant if you sit there scowling for the duration, is it? Now, my suggestion is that we live in the here and now - Do you want us to stay together here, or shall I set up my own camp further down the beach?" She gestured down the other side of the beach. "If you decide you want me to stay here with you, which I must point out, raises our chances of survival, then you need to Man up, and stop behaving like a spoilt 10 year old! So, what's it gonna be huh?"

Jake knew what she said was true, but damn it he bd a right to be upset. He looked down at her and frowned slightly. If they couldn't get that fire going they would have to huddle together for warmth overnight he knealt down and took the sticks from her and resumed trying to light the fire.

"I know it's not your fault exactly. Though I believe I have the right to be a not upset about this." he looked up at her and gestured to where he had set his bed of palm leaves up. "You should set up a bed for yourself there. If I can't get this fire started you and I will become very cuddlely."

He turned back to the fire and suddenly there was a spark. He blew in it and grabbed the haylike tinder to get it to catch. He roared for joy when it burst to life and quickly put it to the wood he had gathered. The fire roared to life and Jake lept to his feet and danced.

He turned to Anna and grined, "Tell me you don't love me now." he roared laughing.

He remembered that the fire was only going to be part of their survival here. He would need to find a away to hunt and gather food. He walked over to the small hut of leaves and looked around for a rock. he found a large enough rock behind the hut and brought it around with a large thick stick from a nearby tree. Remembered his discovery channel knowledge he began to run the tip of the stick along the rock trying to get it sharp enough to kill with.

"If you want, you can look around in the trees around here for fruits we might be able to eat." he told her.

Anna whooped with delight when flames burst from the kindling. Yes! they were going to have fire!! She felt a strange sense of achievement, seeing the flames, and wondered how amazing this must have been for early man.

Jake's disposition seemed to have improved greatly, for which she was grateful. It would have been pretty miserable had they had to set up two seperate camps. His comment about getting cuddly with her, sent shivers down her spine, before she reminded herself they were barely on speaking terms! Talk about jumping to conclusions!! Jake had been barely able to hide his contempt for her, he certainly wasn't thinking about cuddling with her, as a positive thing!!

He seemed happy now, in Tarzan mode, he was off to hunt! No doubt he'd be sour later, when he returned empty handed!! Anna looked about for anything that resembled fruit. Finally, quite a way inland, she found trees growing coconuts, and she gathered three from the ground. She also found a tree growing clutches of bananas, however they looked green, and were too high for her to reach, but she noted their location for later. On her way back she found some berries, but they were unknown to her, and she thought perhaps it was better to avoid something that might poison them. She decided she'd ask Jake about them, on the off chance that he knew what they were.

She returned to thier camp, and tended the fire. She gathered a little more in the way of firewood, to keep the fire going overnight. She thought there was a fair chance that they might be rescued. Surely the alarm was well and truely raised at this point, and a search and recovery mission underway. Any air survelience would note the smoke from the fire, providing they were able to keep it going.

Anna had been travelling alone, but Jake may have been travelling with others, who would miss him, and raise the alarm, she decided to ask him, when he got back, and busied herself making up a bed for herself, on the opposite side of the fire to Jake.

After Jake has gotten the tip of the stick to a fine sharp point he headed out for something to eat. He went the opposite direction Anna had gone because h wanted a few free moments to himself. He had been really looking forward to seeing Japan and even though he was going by himself he knew he had earned the trip.

It wasn't going to happen now of course.

No point in worrying about it. He focused on finding something. The jungle was quiet except a few birds and he knew he would never catch a bird with his spear. Suddenly something moved in the underbrush and he spotted a rabbit. He didn't think and didn't wait. He hurled the spear with all his might and grined. They had dinner.

Anna was setting her blanket by the fire when he came back holding the rabbit by the ears. "do you know how to prepare wild rabbit?" he asked with a smile.

Anna paled when she saw Jake triumphantly waving the dead rabbit about. Anna had been a vegatarian for a number of years, but had thrown in the towel when she had shared a house in college with 3 other girls. It had been a case of eat meat or go really hungry, so she had parked her principles and become a carnivore!!

She had no idea how to prepare the rabbit!! "Jake, I have no idea what to do - I guess we need to skin it, and gut it, maybe rinse the internal cavities. Do we have anything which you could use to skin it? A penknife even? Failing that, maybe a sharp edged sea shell? Do you think something like that would work?" She looked up at him hopefully

"Jake, I gotta tell you, there is no way I can prepare that!! I'll cook it to the best of my ability, which I feel I need to tell you, is pretty limited, but there is no way I could gut it! And it will need to be cleaned out properly or we'll get food poisoning!!"

Jake grinned at her, and produced his swiss army knife from his pocket, selected the appropriat blade and cut the rabbit's neck. From there he worked his was down to the rabbit's belly, and he began to peel back the skin. he removed the abdomen, and all the internal organs from teh rabbit, and finally held up a headless, skinless, gutless rabbit. Gingerly, Anna took the rabbit carcas and took it to the sea, where she rinsed off the blood etc. She brought it back, skewered it on a stick she had soaked in sea water, and set that makeshift skewer on two sturdy Y shaped branches, staked either side of the fire, to make a spit. She gathered some clean palm fronds, and wrapped those around the rabbit to help prevent it from burning.

She rinsed her hands and sat down next to Jake, and with a stupid grin on her face, she said "You Tarzen, Me Jane" and collapsed into a fit of almost hysterical laughter!!

Jake grinned at her comment and thumped his chest with his fist. "I'm pretty sure Tarzan raped Jane though." he gave Anna an elbow then turned the rabbit as it cooked. After the meat had become golden brown throughout, they tore it apart and ate. Together they watched the sun set over the horizon and the empty sea.

"I hope they find us soon." he said softly. Then he have her a wink, "I'd hate to have to rape you." them he laughed and went over to his bed.

Anna was transfixed to the spot. Had she just heard him correctly??? His words played over and over as the sun sank beyond the horizon, and the fabulous moon shone on the black sea. "I'd hate to have to rape you." he'd said. Jesus! It'd hardly be rape, if she was as enthuastic about it as he! She wondered if she could trip him up and hit the ground under him, and laughed at the silly thought.

Anna glanced over to where Jake lay curled up on the ground. Then she looked at her bedding, where she had set out her arrangement of palm fronds, and leaves. She'd built on the wrong side of the fire, that was for sure!

She lay down and wrapped her thermal blanket around her, and tried not to choke on the smoke billowing from the fire, engulfing her. After half and hour or so, she gave up, and turned to Jake. "you mind if I move over to your side, I'm being slowly smoked over here - unless of course, thats your plan, and smoked Anna is on your menu for tomorrow??"

The day had caught up to Jake when he laided down. He was asleep before he even knew it. The only thing that stirred him once was Anna asking if she could lay by him, to which he only managed a murmured reply.

When he awoke he found himself pressed against Anna, his crotch pushed againt her ass tightly. He paniced and rolled away from her quickly before she woke only to feel his morning boner nessled wonderfully between her ass. He did not need that kind of drama. He sat up and looked around. The fire was still smoldering and hebset about building it back up. Then he set off in search of maybe some fish.

Anna had had a lovely dream during the night, that she was cuddled up next to Jake, and he had his arms around her, and her back pressed to his front, his hard cock nestled against her ass.

But she awoke in the morning, and his sleeping area was cold, obviously she had dreamed it, and she blushed and hoped to God she hadn't embarassed herself by calling out his name!!! Oh! She'd never be able to face him if she had!!

She stoked up the fire a little, and felt kinda dirty from spending so much time in her clothes. She stripped of her clothes and washed them in the sea, then she laid them on a rock to dry in the sunshine. She ran naked into the surf, and dived under the waves. She swam around for a while, feeling invigorated by the cold water. She was a good swimmer and after her excercise, she messed about a little, doing hand stands in the surf, revelling in behaving so childishly!

She walked out of the water, toward her clothes, and stopped dead when she saw Jake standing directly before her, and inbetween her clothing and her!! Anna blushed from the roots of her hair to the tips of her toes, putting one hand across her breasts and the other in front of her pussy, but it was evident from the big grin on his face, that he had already seen all!!

Jake had found a small inlet of coral where there was quite the assortmnt of fish. As Jake stood in the knee-deep water thrusting his spear into fish he noticed the water starting to rise as the tide came in. Soon he was no longer able to see the fish and the water was up to huse chest. Sighing he grabbed the stack of fish he had caught, about seven in all and headed back to their camp.

Along the way he saw Anna clothes piled on a log and soaking wet. He looked around but could not see Anna. Finally after a moment she burst from the water her breasts bouncing in the gleaming sunlight. He grinned and watched her swim around. She really did have rocking body..

He grinned when she gasped at him and tried to cover herself.

"not bad." he called.

Anna was crimson! Not only was he openly ogling her, but he had the audacity to call out "Not Bad"!! She didn't know if she was more annoyed that he wasn't gentlemanly enough to look the other way and pretend he hadn't seen her, thereby preserving her dignity, or that having looked his fill, he had the cheek to rate her "not bad"!!

Embarrassed she ran for her clothes, and pulled on her top and skirt, the top , which was still damp, doing little to cover her. Once covered, she sat on the rock, and looked at her tormentor, "hey there sunshine! you could use a wash too, know what I mean!" She watched as he flushed, then she added "and when you get your kit off, I'll critique you!" Although from what she had seen, she'd be hard pressed to find fault

Jake gave her a snicker. She was trying to get him naked so she could laugh at him. He shurgged and walked back to camp to set the fish on the fire. He glanced over at her and saw her watching him with a heated expression. Her nipples could be seen through her top and Jake smiled. She had little nipples, the kind that he loved. He knew she was a great looking beauty hell she could probably be a model if she wanted too.

He pulled his shirt off and balled it up then without a moments hesitation he yanked down his pants and let his cock and balls hang free. "I never fear a date Anna. Look all you want." he told her walking up to her and wagging his cock toward her. Then he smirked and darted for the water diving into the waves headfirst.

"Look all you want!" Well he had offered after all! And Anna intended to look her fill!! God he was magnificent! Broad shoulders, narrow waist, Strong thighs,, tight butt and his cock - wow! What a magnificent specimen he was!

Anna watched as he swam about in the surf, at home in the water. Suddenly, she felt the urge to strip off and go in with him, He'd already seen her naked after all. So with no further thought, she pulled off her top and skirt, and ran naked down the beach and dived below the surf, suddenly shocked by the cool water. She surfaced and laughed! She couldn't remember the last time she had done something so freeing!!

Anna swam about, but didn't approach Jake. Finally, as the cold began to sink in , she ran out in the dusky evening light, toward the fire, and was struggling to get her colthes on over her wet body, when Jake appeared.

Jake came out of the water feeling rather refreshed. The water along this island was amazingly clean and during the afternoon it was as clear as a swimming pool. He shook himself dry and walked up toward camp where Anna was struggling to get her top back on. Jake stood there and enjoyed the view of her wonderful breasts with little delightful nipples.

He walked up to her and grabbed her top from her hands. For a moket he looked at her eyes, his cock started to grow hard in front of her. But he was not a scumbag and would not take advantage like that. Instead he helped her pull her top on then turned to get his own clothing on.

What had jsut happened, Anna wondered. Jake had come out of the water, and snapped her top from her hands, and she had been sure he was about to kiss her, but he didn't. He simply looked at her for a moment, then, when he leaned slightly toward her, she began to pucker up for a kiss, and he pulled her top over her head!!

Anna blushed furiously, and turned away. Talk about a near miss!! Wouldn't she have made a complete fool of herself if she'd kissed him, and had him push her away! She didn't think she could take another rejection.

The reason for her being on the cruise, alone, was that she and Jim had been engaged, about to get married, then he had announced that he couldn't marry her, he was gay!! What a time to realise it, three weeks before their would-have-been wedding!! But she knew deep down he hadn't meant to hurt her, and of course it was better to tell her before they got married, but it was still humiliating.

If she made advances on Jake, and he gave her the cold shoulder, it would be very very difficult for them both on the island. It wasn't like she could go mingle with others!! And as good looking as he was, she had no doubt he was adept at fielding female advances!!

Turning her attention to the fire and the fish, she announced that it was cooked and they could eat. She even had one of the protien bars, chocolate flavoured, supposedly, for them to share after the fish. Better to keep on as normal, she thought.

It was hard for him, to ignore her nudity. It wasn't fair and it was far too early for him to act on it. He wanted to take her or to at least make a move on her. It was far too early in their solitude for them to act on any primal desires. The cabin fever couldn't be setting in yet.

He shook his head and say beside her. "I can't tell you how much it would be a pleasure to take you in the sand here and now." he told her quietly while they ate. "you are very sexy and as much as I want to we can't yet. I think it is too early for is to get carried away by cabin fever right?" he sighed and leaned against the rock. She would be able to see his hardon no matter what so she might as well get used to it.

Oh, it was bad. Bad, bad, bad!!! His words rang in her ears

"I can't tell you how much it would be a pleasure to take you in the sand here and now".

Oh God, he had realised that she was attracted to him, and was now gallantly trying to soothe her bruised ego! She had made it pretty damn obvious that she wouldn't exactly beat him off with a club- she was pretty sure there wasn't a woman anywhere would beat him off with a club, more likely fall at his knees!!!

Anna made up her mind that she would make it clear they could be friends. Just friends! Stretching, she headed out away from the fire calling to him that she required a little prvacy, and she found a little sheltered area, and relieved herself, then she returned to the fire, stoked it up, and gathered her blanket and pulled it around her, cuddling into its warmth!

Jake watched her go in silence. Women, even on a deserted island alone with one, he would never understand them. He sighed and laid himself out on the sand and let the setting sun slowly dry him off. He didn't like this one bit, the neverending boredom was going to drive him insane if he didn't find something to do.....or some one.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to let himself have sex with Anna. Hell maybe she would rock his world and give him orgasms he could only dream of.

He shook away those thoughts when she came back to camp. "I think tomorrow I'm going to explore the island a bit. Maybe we can find an old radio station or something we can use." he told her. "I am sorry for talking about having sex with you...that was rude of me."

"yes. I mean no, I'm not offended, but its probably best to keep things on a friendly footing, dont you think. I mean its a pretty small island, and all, but we're bound to be rescued soon, and well, I was supposed to be getting married next week, so, well, best not to complicate things, do you agree?" Anna did her best smile up at him, friendly and business like she thought.

"Now, I dont know about you, but I'm gonna get some shut eye!" and with that, Anna curled into a little ball, her tattered pride pulled tight around her, and she drifted off to sleep.
