Samantha Marx

Young, beautiful, and very well to do.. Family money
Long midnight black hair
Dark nearly black eyes...
***********************

~ She was in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Well, it really wasn't the wrong place, she lived here. But is most definitely was the wrong time.

Samantha stepped out onto the balcony. It had been a long night at the Presidential Ball. She had met many Commanders, Senators, Congressmen, Armed Service Generals and Colonels. It had been a wonderful night, but now it had come to an end. She was tired, and was happy to allow a certain General to escort her to her Penthouse. He spoke of His adventures, told her of His travels to far away countries and lifestyles. Of His encounters in war and peace, he even boasted of his piloting days.
Samantha listened and in fact, was genuinely interested. Someday she wanted to travel. Out of New York, she wanted to see those other countries, lifestyles, people.

But for this night, her traveling was limited to the walk to her Penthouse, with the General at her side.

He was pouring her a drink, a nightcap, and she had stepped out onto the balcony for a breath of fresh air. Her Penthouse overlooked the grand expanse of Central Park. The most beautiful park in the midst of the most beautiful city in the world. At least to Samantha.

She heard something, and followed the sound, peering down onto the balcony that was below and to the right of hers... It happened so fast, yet so agonizingly slow... A woman, a Man. He was strangling her, she was vainly trying fight, to scratch His eyes, face, anything. Another man appeared on the balcony.. He lifted a gun, she saw the small flash as the shot, silenced, entered the woman's left eye. She fell over dead. The men stepping back. It took Samantha only a moment to realize that the woman was the President, yes the President of the United States. Samantha had heard that she had attended the Ball, a gala event held in her honor. But she had to be under the most stringent of protection. Why was she here, in her OWN Penthouse complex?? She did not understand what was happening, nor did she know that the President had been kidnapped, and taken to that Suite. Taken there to be questioned, before being assassinated.

Samantha slapped her hand over her mouth to silence her own scream, but, it was too late. The men looked up, hearing something, sensing something. She got a very good look at them, before she ran back into her Penthouse.

The General did not quite understand or believe what she was babbling about. Police were called. The Body was found, the body of the first female President of the United States. She was whisked away. A Witness, she was the only Witness to the murder of the century.

For months, Samantha was kept under lock and key. Her description helped catch BOTH Killers... the Trial, the Trial of the Century, of the millenium, commenced, the only problem was, these Killers had connections. Important connections. Once she came out into the open at the trial, her life, as she knew it, was over. The Judge, was part of the network of Connections that the Killers and those that supported them had. Some said it was a Government assassination, to silence a powerful Woman that none could control. That mattered not to Samantha. Only her life mattered and that was in danger. That much she knew.

The General who had escorted her was killed. Samantha barely escaped that attempt on her life, managing to get away....Away from the police.. as well as away from the Killers...

She didn't know what to do.. where to go... so she left. She left the City she loved. She left New York, taking the first flight she could, under another name, paying in cash, out of the country. She headed to the furthest place she could think of... Tahiti.. an island paradise.

She had no other choice, she was a Witness.....

THIS IS CLOSED FOR CYBERMAN2005 AND MYSELF

 

[cyberman2005]

Edward ‘Ed’ Taylor
Age 30
5ft 11inches tall, heavy build.
Hit man for the Mob
Marksman and explosive expert.


I.C.
Ed was in court the day that Samantha Marx had appeared, the Mob wanted him to see this bitch and if possible get photographs of her. He was disguised as a reporter and had a counterfeit Press Pass, he was too important to the Mob to be identified so initially the hit was passed to his underlings.

They managed to kill her escort the general who’d been at the scene on the night of the shooting, but they’d missed her and she’d vanished from sight, nobody knew where.

Ed started checking it was now his responsibility to trace and kill this woman, she’d been gone a month when he happened to be watching a CCTV tape and saw her in the airport. From there it was easy to trace her flight to Tahiti, so along with an underling Ed took the next available flight.

On arrival Ed had to start his search all over again, fortunately it was outside the tourist season so he didn’t have much problem with his search. He found his quarry and settled down to watch her movements to see who she met while she was there. She appeared to avoid the police and went around without an escort, Ed thought she must have some sort of bodyguard, but if she had Ed couldn’t spot him.

After a couple of weeks stalking her he was convinced that she was so scared that if he jumped out on her and said ‘Boo’ she’d die of fright. Unfortunately for her Ed realised that she had a routine which she always kept, at eight each evening she’d walk to the nearest beach bar and have a couple of drinks before returning to her hotel.

Ed thought he’d spent enough time watching and made sure he was in the bar before her one night, he just sat at the bar and had his drink leaving just after she arrived. This went on for a week before she acknowledged him as he left, the following night he stayed a bit longer.

“Goodnight,” Ed said to her as he left. After a couple more night of this he decided it was time to see how things stood. He was sitting at the bar as she entered.

“Can I get you a drink?” he asked as she came up to the bar.

~ The island was beautiful, the weather perfect. Too bad she was not here on vacation. Her first few days, which turned into weeks, she was nervous and rarely left her hotel. She had been smart enough to register under another name, Yvonne Smith, Yvonne being her middle name, but she had not been quite savy enough to realize that using her Debit/ATM card was pretty easy to track. She needed money, she had only brought so much with her. Thank goodness that money was not a worry for her. She had plenty, in her bank back in New York, she just had to access it, hence the Debit card transactions.

She finally managed to settle into a routine. Things had been quiet. Yes, she had been in the news, but it was limited there in Tahiti.. and soon, it was non-existant. Where she was the talk of the town in New York, was she dead? alive? Could the trial go on without the star Witness? She was blissfully ignorant back in Tahiti. The only news there was the weather and the new hotel being built down the beach from where she was staying.

She found a small beachside bar that she favored. It was quiet, cozy, and Sammi, as she had taken to calling herself, found she could go there, talk to the locals, and not feel sooo alone.. so very alone as she did. Some nights she indulged in a glass of wine. Other nights it was nothing stronger than an iced tea...
The bartender was a wonderful woman that Sammi found interesting to talk to.. and the Bouncer, he was a cutie.. she found herself relaxing, and forgetting the harrowing expierence she had gone thru.
Every night, at the same time, usually by 8, no later than 8:15 she was there. She stayed til about 9.. sometimes 10.. before heading home.. such that it was....

The new face was obvious. He was older.. maybe in His late 20's.. or 30... He certainly was not an Islander.. perhaps a tourist, who had taken a shine to the small bar at the beachside, where you could hear the ocean right outside.. Sammi noticed Him the first night, and yes, she was spooked. But she told herself that she could not let every stranger she met spook her that way.. she was in Tahiti, not New York. That part of her life was over.
That night, as she left, she smiled at Him, a slight nod of acknowledgement given. He came across as harmless.. and she ached for someone.. male.. yes male.. to talk to .. the Bouncer was cute.. but hell... he was just a kid.. so was she for that matter at 21.. but the kid was all of 18.. too young for her..

The next night, as she passed Him with a smile.. He offered her a "Goodnight" which she repeated back at Him, letting her dark eyes meet His for a moment. Her hair was pulled back in a long braid, showing her face and eyes, tanned and smooth... eyes sparkling...

That night she found herself thinking of the handsome stranger.. thinking and dreaming....

That very next night, it was Friday night, the end of the workweek, the bar was a bit more crowded.. as she entered she saw Him sitting at the bar.. She wanted to say something to Him, but her own fear got in the way.. until He broke the ice...

“Can I get you a drink?”

His voice was deep, smooth, with the hint of a New York accent. That startled her, but again, New York had hundreds of thousands of people living there, and just because He had that slight accent did not mean He was from New York.. He showed no signs of recognizing her...

"sure, I would like that" she answered back, letting a shy smile curl her soft, dusky lips... She sat next to Him at the bar, her hand nervously smoothing over her long black skirt that she wore, a flowing silken gypsy type skirt.. accenting that was a red tank top.. her long dark hair tumbling down over her shoulders and down her back freely this night... ~

 

[cyberman2005]

Samantha looked startled when Ed offered her a drink, then he realised that he was out of place here with his New York accent which she would obviously recognise. He didn’t look at her at first as he waited for a reply, when it didn’t come immediately he looked straight in her eyes.

"sure, I would like that" she answered smiling softly. She sat next to him at the bar as he asked to get her a drink assuming the bartender would know what Sammi drank.

“Are you here on vacation?” he asked. “I’m here for the sun for a couple of months, been working toohard and the doctor advised sunshine and rest, so here I am,” Ed told her. “Been taking in the sights and tomorrow I’m off for a boat ride around the island,” he added. “Oh I’m Ed by the way,” he said as an afterthought.

Watching the interest show in Sammi’s eyes when he mentioned the boat trip, he wondered if she’d be interested in joining him. If she was it would make things a lot easier for him as he’d be able to get to know her more quickly by spending more time together. It always made the kill more satisfying when the victim suddenly realised that the friend they thought they had was actually going to be their killer.

“Oh I’m sorry would you like to join me on the trip?” he asked as he indicated to the bartender to fill up their drinks.

 

[AmbrosiaCaress]

~ A boat trip.. Sammi had wanted to go on one of those boat trips since she had gotten there, but she had not really wanted to go alone...

The bartender, her woman friend, had taken the liberty of filling her glass with the wine she preferred, and as she turned to Him, a soft smile on her face at His invitation.. she had been sooo alone as of late...

"I.. I would love to" she stammered, her thoughts racing in a million different directions. She had been soo spooked by people since the killing, soo afraid for her own life. This seemed almost surreal, and in fact it was perfectly normal. A boat trip, on Tahiti, with an handsome man as a date.... a date.. the word tumbled around in her mind... "I really would love to.. Ed.. Thank you so much.. I am Sammi... " she took a sip of her wine, her soft pinkened lips just barely touching the rim of the crystal glass.. the wine disappearing into her mouth, and down the supple column of her throat...

"a Vacation.. I.. I'm on a long, and much needed vacation myself. Where are you from? East Coast?"

She was curious if He was from New York. He still showed no recognition of her, and for that she was grateful. ~

 

[cyberman2005]

“I flew in from Chicago,” Ed replied lying through his teeth knowing that she was probably afraid that he knew who she was. “I was reared in New York but have spent the last five years in Chicago,” he told her, seeing her relax at this he knew that his thoughts were correct.

“You sound like you’re from New York, are you?” Ed asked keeping the conversation going on the subject that he was sure she would want to leave.

Ed started really looking at her now she had a gorgeous figure shown off by the skirt and top she was wearing, her long black hair spreading over the red top really did make her look good. He started thinking about what she’d look like without any clothing then stopped himself as he realised he was getting too far ahead of what he was doing.

“The trip sets off a nine in the morning, I hope that isn’t too early for you,” Ed said bringing himself back to the present. “We’ll be out all day and as it’s a private trip we’ll probably stop in a few secluded bays so we can swim, I wasn’t looking forward to swimming alone but with two of us it’ll be fun” he said her wondering what sort of swimsuit she’d wear.

They’d both had a few drinks while they were talking the bartender filling up their glasses as they finished without having to be asked.

“I think it’s time for me to turn in, would you like me to walk you to your hotel?” Ed asked knowing it was a different one to the one he was staying in.

 

[AmbrosiaCaress]

~ Sammi had no idea how much she had missed just the small normalcies of life.. not until now, as she had a perfectly harmless, maybe even boring, conversation with Ed...

He was from Chicago, well, at least for the last 5 years. That made her relax both inside and out. Even tho He admitted to being from New York originally, the fact that He was NOT there when everything happened, made her feel so much better...

“You sound like you’re from New York, are you?”

For the briefest of seconds, she hesitated. She had never really thought of a cover story, and since He was from Chicago, and this was Tahiti.. why need one...

"yes, born and raised." she did not elaborate any further, instead, just as He was gazing at her, and it was not lost on her that He was, she too was taking a better look at Him. He was handsome, in a rough sort of way. She guessed perhaps He had a hard life, but things maybe had gotten better. She sensed a wall up around Him. Or that maybe He was.. well.. hiding something. But she simply pushed that thought out of her mind. What did it matter. He was probably married and the wife was no where to be found. Who cares. She was not looking for a relationship. She only wanted company, a friend, a male friend. Even if only for a few days while His vacation lasted.

"The trip sets off a nine in the morning, I hope that isn’t too early for you,” We’ll be out all day and as it’s a private trip we’ll probably stop in a few secluded bays so we can swim, I wasn’t looking forward to swimming alone but with two of us it’ll be fun”

"Not too early at all, Ed" she answered back. It did not even dawn on her that He had just told her it would only be the 2 of them. If it had, she might have had second thoughts, but the idea of just getting off the island, spending some time with someone, swimming, sunning, sounded just too good to her.. "I am really looking forward to this.. thank You so much for asking me. I love to swim, it has been a while since I have. Like You said, swimming alone, or doing anything else alone, really is not that much fun"

She had not meant to reveal her lonliness like that, and tried to smile her words away, finishing the last sip of her wine and waving away a refill. She had drank plenty. It it seemed that Ed mirrored her own thoughts as well...

“I think it’s time for me to turn in, would you like me to walk you to your hotel?”

"yes, please, that would be very nice. It is only a block away, You can see it from here."

She smiled to her bartender friend, and the cute young Bouncer, as she and Ed headed out into the warmth of the night.

The walk was short lived, along the beach front, until she was before her door. Her suite opened directly onto the beach, she had no need to go into the hotel to access.
Sammi debated on asking Ed in for a night cap, but no, that would be inappropiate.. she had only just met Him and was seeing Him first thing in the morning...

"Ed, thank You again for the invitation. We can meet right here in the morning? Or Your hotel?"

 

[cyberman2005]

“It’s only a few minutes walk to the boat so I’ll pick you up here at eight forty five,” Ed suggested and could see she was happy with that. “Goodnight,” he said as he turned towards his own hotel.

Ed was pleased with his evenings work, he’d made friends with his victim and arranged to spend a full day with her the next day. The only other person on the boat would be a member of the Mob from the island, he knew the secluded spots that they could go swimming and was under orders to do whatever Ed told him to do.

As he walked the short distance to his hotel Ed did consider having the guy that had come with him give Sammi a scare, but decided that he could use that once he was completely in her confidence so if she decided to run he could go with her. She wouldn’t know that her safe escort was the guy that was eventually going to kill her, but first he had to get close, very, very close.

The following morning Ed was waiting as Sammi came out of her room, she was wearing a brief halter top and shorts obviously ready to enjoy a day on board in the sun. She also had a small holdall that Ed assumed carried her swimwear.

“Morning” Ed said as he looked at the beauty that joined him. Her shorts showed off her long legs, while her top accentuated her figure. They walked the short distance to the boat, it was more a yacht than a boat with a large cabin and a big sun deck, steps led down to the water at the rear so that swimmers could get back on easily.

The yachtsman was already on board so as soon as they were settled he set off across the bay, Ed opened the fridge in the cabin and took out a bottle of champagne making Sammi jump as he popped the top. They had a couple of drinks as they were crossing the bay, by the time they’d finished them they were out of sight of the harbour so they took the bottle with them to the sun deck. Relaxing in each others company they watched a school of dolphins play off the bow of their boat as they headed for a secluded bay for a swim.

 

[AmbrosiaCaress]

~ She was nervous.. for several reasons.. the main one being it had been what felt like forever since she had been out on a date.. was this a date? It sure felt like one.. She had considered cancelling, but why? This was not New York, this was Tahiti. She was safe. All was quiet. It was time to start living again.

That next morning, she showered and got dressed. She chose to wear her black and red laced bikini (see pic at end of post) It was erotic and gorgeous, and accented her figure beautifully, cupping her ample breasts in what looked like ebony silk with crimson lace overlay... She had plenty of other bathing suits and bikinis.. why did she chose this one? Well.. it was simple, she wanted to look good for Him. It was a date after all.

Over the bikni, she wore black shorts and a red halter top. Sandals completed the outfit. In her carryall she took a towel, a long black blouse that she often wore as a bathing suit cover and a few of her personal items to get her thru the day. She pulled back her long, dark, still damp hair into a pony tail, and at 8:45am, she came out of her room via her own patio, to find Ed already waiting for her. Smiling, she answered His "Good Morning" with one of her own..

It was a stunning day, as it always was in Tahiti it seemed. They walked and talked to the boat, and once on, motoring out into the gorgeous Tahitian waters.. she accepted His offer of a Mamosa.. one of her favorite drinks.. What could beat Champagne and Orange Juice on this just beautiful Tahiti morning?? Altho, Sammi could not help but jump when He popped the cork from the bottle. It sounded like a shot, and that sound brought back too many memories for her.. She shook off the sound tho, and the fear, looking out over the water at the dolphins that had decided to race the boat. As they roared along, she and Ed, drinks in hand, enjoyed laughing and watching the playful animals frolick alongside...

She finally turns back to Him, managing to tear her eyes from the magnificent creatures...

"sooo.. I have to ask.. why vacationing alone? A handsome man like you? Can't be any fun.. especially here in Tahiti. Look at all You have to share with someone" She indicated the site of the dolphins and the sparkling blue of the ocean.. She was just curious... she knew it would invite the same question about her, but she had an answer already prepared.. She took a sip of her drink, watching Him for a moment or 2..

(this is a pic of the bikini, not of the character. To see the character see the pic at the beginning of the story.. thanks.. )

[cyberman2005]

Ed wasn’t put out by the question he had his story all planned out knowing that eventually she would question his being alone.

“I moved to Chicago after finishing college and struck it lucky, I started a business that took off making me a lot of money. Suddenly I had as many girls that I wanted but it soon became clear that all they were after was my money so I’d go out a few times with different girls then get rid of them and start with somebody new. I didn’t need too much company because I had my work, I can’t tell you what it is because its government top secret. Work took over my life and eventually my doctor intervened telling me that I needed to take a break or arrange for my funeral.

So I decided to take a break, I know the company will run without me so I’m here to relax and get a bit of enjoyment at the same time. My orders are to take at least a month, more if needed,” Ed told her as the yacht swept around a headland and they could see a bay with a natural sea wall to protect the yacht at anchor.

On the beach was a cabin surrounded by a thick forest with steep cliffs rising behind which would make it difficult to approach from the land side.

“So I’ve told you my story, what about you?” he asked, as the yachtsman steered the yacht around the wall towards the bay.

 

[AmbrosiaCaress]

~ That made sense.. a man.. working too hard, taking a vacation on His own. Many people did that, it was stress free that way, no worrying about if the other was enjoying themselves. For a moment Sammi wished that this was nothing more than a vacation for her as well, even tho she knew it was not. This was her life. This was to keep her alive. What would she have done of she did not have the money? That thought alone made her shiver involuntarily.. she wrapping her arms about herself to still that tremble.

“So I’ve told you my story, what about you?”

"me? Nothing really all that exciting" She took a deep breath at that little lie... "I had a very bad breakup with a long term lover... He became... well, abusive, and scary. Stalking me, threatening me. I just could not take it anymore so I used up my savings and here I am. Away from him and away from New York." She wanted to use a story where, if she felt that urge to leave again, she had a *reason*.. the ex... Plus, she was running from someone, so that much was not a lie...

She looked away then, taking a deep breath. The sun was blazing, but as the story rolled from her lips, she found herself trembling, almost as if it were freezing out. The skin of her cheeks went from a pretty blush to pale. She tried to shake the feeling off.. but couldn't. She was still soooo very scared....that she could not fight the tears of fear.. and frustration.. the slowly slid down her face...

"I.... I'm sorry Ed... " she whispered.. not looking up ~

 

[cyberman2005]

Ed was interested to find out what sort of story she would come up with knowing why she was really here. Well the stalking and threats were genuine it was just they weren’t from an ex-lover they were from the Mob. She admitted she was on the run from somebody what she didn’t know was the person she was on the run from was lying on the deck next to her.

Ed could see that she was scared although the word was actually petrified of being found, it was too much for her and he saw tears start to run down her cheeks.

"I.... I'm sorry Ed... " she whispered.. not looking up

Although Ed knew that eventually he was going to kill her, he wanted to enjoy her first so he moved over to her.

“Don’t worry I won’t let him find you, and if he does I’ll deal with him,” he told her putting his arm around her shoulders and pulling her to him so she could let all her tears run free.

While this had been going on the yachtsman had run the yacht into the bay and dropped anchor.

“Can you put the hamper by the cabin, it’s such a nice day I think we’ll have our lunch there after our swim,” Ed said to the yachtsman as he comforted Sammi.

“I’ll stay and eat on board if you don’t mind,” the yachtsman replied, this had been arranged between him and Ed the previous evening so as to leave Ed alone with Sammi.

“Do you feel up to a swim?” Ed asked when Sammi appeared to have calmed down a bit.

 

[AmbrosiaCaress]

~ God it felt good to feel someone hold her again, even if it was a perfect stranger.. He gathered her close, and she welcomed it, pressing against HIm as she tried to get ahold of the emotions that were racing thru her...

“Don’t worry I won’t let him find you, and if he does I’ll deal with him,”

That should have made her feel better, but in reality it didn't.. not because she didn't beleive Him, but because that was what the General had said to her, and now, he was dead, dead at the hands of the Mob..

But it was the thought, and the sentiment behind it that counted, and made her feel a little better...

"I'll be ok. He is pretty, Ummmm.. vicious, I would not want to see You hurt. But Him coming here, would be next to impossible. He doesn't even know I am here"

At least that was what she truely believed, having no idea that the man holding her was her worst, and deadly, enemy....

She managed to get ahold of herself, stopping the tears, and calming down, her head resting to His strong shoulder.. a whispered "Thank You" was felt more than heard, her breath warm and so very moist along His skin...

“Do you feel up to a swim?”

"Very much so" she answered quietly... looking up from nuzzling against Him. They had stopped in a quiet, serene bay, it was absolutely beautiful, and very deserted...

"I'm sorry for getting so.. emotional Ed" the last thing she wanted to do was drag this poor innocent man into the middle of her nightmare..

She got to her feet, turning away from both Ed and the Yachtsman who was watching for a moment from the upper deck.. she loosened her shorts, letting them slip from her hips, gliding slowly, almost sensually down her smooth already tanned legs...revealing the red and ebony lace of her bikini that barely encased the sweet curve of her ass.... The top followed, falling to the deck. A quick run of slender fingers into and thru her long dark hair and she turned back to Ed...

"I could use a swim... Thanks again Ed for inviting me along"

 

[cyberman2005]

Ed watched as she let her shorts slide down her legs revealing her trim ass, he knew she had a good figure but this was the first time he’d had the chance to see her properly. Her top quickly fell to the deck as well and she turned to Ed giving him a full view of herself.

"I could use a swim... Thanks again Ed for inviting me along"

“Shit” thought Ed as he felt his cock respond to the look of her.

Underneath his shorts he was only wearing brief swimming trunks not shorts so he knew his rising member would be obvious to her once he removed his shorts.

He removed his shirt showing his well tanned and muscular body before turning away from her and letting his shorts drop, as soon as he was out of then he jumped over the side hoping the water would calm his cock down.

Sammi quickly joined him in the water and as the swam around he saw the yachtsman transferring the hamper to the dingy and delivering it to the shore for them.

They’d been in the water about an hour fooling around, Ed being careful what he did although they both enjoyed the foolishness as if they were a couple of kids.

“Let’s get back on board, and we can go to the shore and eat,” Ed suggested before the foolery got to serious.

They swam around to the back of the yacht and Ed helped Sammi get started on the ladder before following her on board. They towelled themselves dry and collected a few items to cover themselves from the worst of the sun before getting into the dingy and rowing ashore.

 

[AmbrosiaCaress]

~ Goodness He had a nice chest.. strong.. powerful.. her eyes were drawn to Him.. she could not seem to stop staring... He was certainly more and more attractive as she really looked at Him...

That thought was interrupted when He turned His back to her to lower His shorts... He had quite the nice ass and she had to resist the urge to reach out and pinch Him..
"Hmmm maybe later" she playfully thought to herself, and for the first time in what felt like a lifetime, she stopped thinking about New York, the killing.. eveything.. and thought only of the here and now...

She had to smile as He dove into the water, and she did not hesitate a moment, jumping in right behind Him.. the warmth of the water felt soooo good... she felt like a kid again, playing in the water off Cape Cod in Massachusetts where her parents would go to vacation...

Laughing and splashing, she and Ed enjoyed the water, swimming.. and trying to dunk one another.. She had not had this much fun in sooo very long.... the water was perfect.. the weather was perfect... everything was.. perfect... For the first time in a very long time, Sammi let her guard down and relaxed.. enjoying her time with Ed..

"Let’s get back on board, and we can go to the shore and eat,”

She nodded to His words, and they swam to the back of the boat...

Lifting herself from the water just before Him.. glistening beads of moisture gliding down along her tanned skin.. the curve of her ass, the black and ebon bikni barely covering her.. a soft sway of her hips.. and she was on deck, reaching for the towel...

A few minutes later and they were in the small dingy heading for the very very deserted beach...

He had a large, very sumputious lunch for the 2 of them.. Sammi had taken the liberty of bringing some fresh strawberries and a bottle of her fave champagne.. in a chilled bag.. to have along with their picnic meal...

"I thought maybe a glass of champagne and some sweet strawberries to celebrate our new friendship.. Ed.. " she smiled as she pulled out the bottle, glasses, and berries.. her catchall bag certainly was a catchall bag, that was for sure..

She popped the cork, pouring the champagne, fingers curling about one of the crystal glasses and offering it to Him ~

 

[cyberman2005]

Their hands met as he took the glass off her and held for a few seconds as they looked at each other, then the moment was gone. They passed the time with idle talk as the enjoyed their meal followed by the strawberries, the hamper was still quite full when they’d had enough so Ed packed it up again and the lay on the sand close to the cabin.

“It looks like our afternoon is going to be spoilt,” Ed said pointing to some black clouds he saw outside the bay.

At that point his phone rang. “Yes! What’s wrong?” he asked seeing the yachtsman’s number on his phone.

“I’ve just listened to the weather report on the radio, it looks like we’re in for a heavy storm that will reach us in about half an hour,” Ed was told.

“Shall we come back to the yacht?” Ed asked.

“No! We can’t make it back in that time, we’ll be safer here than on the open water. I’ll stay on board you two can shelter in the cabin everything you need is there. Oh pull the dinghy up the beach and tie it to the cabin, if the wind gets up we don’t want to lose it,” the yachtsman told him.

“OK. We’ll move everything inside and ride it out from there,” Ed replied breaking the connection.

“We need to move everything into the cabin we’ve a heavy storm approaching, we can’t make it back to port so we’re safer here,” Ed told Sammi after he’d finished on the phone.

They’d moved everything into the cabin and were just finishing tying the dinghy to the cabin when the rain hit, they ran together into the cabin laughing, not realising that Ed’s phone had fallen from his pocket. The storm got fiercer and soon they were watching the lightening zig zagging down from the sky, the fact that it was all at sea made it a wonderful sight.

“It looks like our afternoon is going to be spoilt,” Ed said pointing to some black clouds he saw outside the bay.

The darkness was indeed threatening, and Sammi knew from just living there for the past few weeks that the storms that crashed into the area were pretty fierce..

As He spoke to the Yachtsman on His phone, she began gathering everything up. As she took His now empty glass of champagne, she paused to think on that slight touch of hands as He had taken it from her. It had been almost electric, warm, and she had thought she felt her heart flutter. He was handsome, rough looking but handsome, but moreso, He was kind, and funny, and so very sweet.

“We need to move everything into the cabin we’ve a heavy storm approaching, we can’t make it back to port so we’re safer here,” Ed told Sammi after he’d finished on the phone.

She paled alittle. Sammi did not like thunderstorms, no matter how incredibly beautiful they could be, especially here. She did not say anything to Ed tho, and instead quickly busied herself with clearing everything up... Once done, they ran to the cabin, just as the pelting rain started. It felt cool on their skin, and tickled a bit as it started and reminded Sammi of summer days as a child, playing in those quick rainstorms that came whizzing by in upper state New York where she grew up... and that made her smile and laugh, despite her growing fear at the raging tempest that approached...

Once in the cabin, she felt a little better, but the thunder rolled, shaking the ground under their feet.. He was watching the lightning.. and she tentatively approached the window to look out with Him...the light show was fantastic... and she forgot her fear for a moment or 2.. lost in the magnificence of the storm... They could see the Yacht swaying in the water, well, more like shuddering as the wind and rain and ocean battered it...

She did feel better being there with Him, and being in the cabin and not out on the boat... that was for sure...

The storm only intensified... and as it did so, the lightning seemed to get closer and closer...

"Tooo close" she said more to herself, turning away from the window.. and going to the middle of the room.. now that the thunder seemed to be right on top of them.. the storm right over them.. she could not hide the fear that raced thru her.. she was trembling.. wrapping her arms about herself to try and stop... her breathing was coming in soft gasps.. heart pounding...

"I want it to stop.. PLEASE.. MAKE IT STOP" she suddenly blurted out.. turning to the approaching Ed, she grabbed Him, pulling Him to her... wrapping herself around Him and violently shaking... "scared... Shit.. Ed.. I'm... scared... "

Just as those words slipped from her quivering lips.. there was a sharp roar, the cabin shook as if a giant hand grabbed it and was shaking it.. an explosion, flash of light, all this seemingly just beyond the window. Both of them could see beyond without moving from where she trembled in the mid of the floor.. The Yacht... it was blazing... hit by lightning and on fire... Her eyes widened as they watched, another vicious explosion and it blew apart in the heavy rain... Sammi screamed, collasping to the floor, violently shaking... "Ohhhhh God... Ohhhhh God... He.. He's dead.. the Yacht.. exploded... Ohhhh God.. Ed... " she manages to stammer..~

"I want it to stop.. PLEASE.. MAKE IT STOP" she suddenly blurted out.. turning to the approaching Ed, she grabbed Him, pulling Him to her... wrapping herself around Him and violently shaking... "scared... Shit.. Ed.. I'm... scared... "

Ed wrapped his arms around her, “We’re quite safe here,” he said reassuringly.

Just at that moment lightning hit the yacht turning it into blazing mass before it exploded into a million pieces. Sammi slipped from his arms collapsing on the floor screaming. "Ohhhhh God... Ohhhhh God... He.. He's dead.. the Yacht.. exploded... Ohhhh God.. Ed... "

Ed knew the crewman had died but it was quick and he’d probably not known anything about it, besides there was nothing they could do about it now.

“Don’t worry I’ll just ring the Coast Guard and they’ll pick us up once the storm has blown over,” he told her reaching into his pocket for his phone. “Where did I put my phone?” he asked when he realised it wasn’t in his pocket. “Did I put it into the hamper?” he asked going over to it, he took everything out but there was no sign of his phone.

He could see that Sammi was getting more frantic as he searched, having decided that the phone would appear later where ever he’d put it he lifted Sammi off the floor and carried her to one of the bunk beds.

“Try to relax, I know we’ve lost the yachtsman but we can’t do anything about that, at the moment we’re safe in the cabin which has weathered a good number of these storms I’m sure,” he said calmly trying to pass his apparent calmness to her. His arm was around her pulling her close to him protecting her as he tried to think of what to do next.

“At worse once the storm breaks we’ll have to wait a couple of days before we’re rescued,” he told her. "The alarm won’t be raised until tomorrow night when we don’t return. They’ll think that we’ve found somewhere to weather the storm and be at least a day late because they won’t have received a May Day call from us. Then they’ll start looking for us the following day,” he explained hoping that his supposition was correct. The yachtsman would have logged his expected time of return with the harbour master, which was that evening so they wouldn’t be missed until then, with the storm they’d probably give them another day before looking.

“We’ve got enough food to last us until then and plenty of wood in here for the fire so we’ll be fed and warm with somewhere to sleep,” he said as he took an inventory of the cabin.

Sammi was still shaking as she clung to him, he didn’t know how much of what he’d said had got through to her, but now he’d checked everything he was feeling much better himself and the storm appeared to be moving on.

~ His words, and moreso the tone of His voice calmed her down. She wished she had not reacted like this, she must look ridiculous to Him.. acting like such a child... But He never let on that it bothered Him, or that He thought less of her because of her fear.. for that she was thankful...

Then the other thought struck her mind.. stranded, they were stranded. The yacht was gone. But.. yes, He was right, they would send out a search for her and Him.. she would not be missed, no one really knew she was there in Tahiti, which was best for her, but surely someone would miss Him, or the Yacht Captain.. Ed was right, they would be fine for a few days until the Rescuers got there.. the Yacht Captain had to have put in a trip plan, they knew that she and Ed were here, or close to here.. surely they would come here to find them once the storm blew over..

“We’ve got enough food to last us until then and plenty of wood in here for the fire so we’ll be fed and warm with somewhere to sleep,”

He was right, they would be fine, and slowly she tried to still her shaking body.. still clinging to Him.. there on the small bed....

"You're right Ed.. You're right, I.. I'm sorry...I've just been thru alot and I never liked thunderstorms. Most of the time, when one hits, especially here, I go down to the bar and find a quiet corner, away from the window, the lightning and thunder, until it is all over. I.. please forgive my panic" her sparkling eyes turned up to Him.. head following in a tilt.. her lips were so close to His.. that her breath tickled over them as she soo softly spoke... "I appreciate You, understanding and being so calm with me... Ed".. she swallowed a bit.. staring at the Handsome man that held her.. she felt so safe in His arms, something she had not felt in such a long time. The rise and fall of her chest as she breathed could be felt against His own, the pulse of her heart beating vibrating to the surface and against His own skin... ~

Ed could feel that Sammi was starting to calm down as she tilted her head with her lips close to his she whispered.

"I appreciate You, understanding and being so calm with me... Ed"

It felt good sitting there cuddling her, feeling the rapid beat of her heart as she pressed against him, her lips were so close that he just couldn’t resist giving her a quick kiss and then pulling back.

“I’m sorry Sammi, I shouldn’t have done that, taking advantage of you when you’re all upset,” he said, but didn’t release her.

What the hell he thought, he was going to enjoy this woman before he killed her he might as well start now while they were alone for the next couple of days at least. He didn’t carry on just yet he was waiting to see her reaction, he had plenty of time, thinking about it if their rescue didn’t arrive for some time. He’d have time to enjoy her body then kill her and bury her claiming that she was on the yacht when it blew up as well.

The storm had passed them by now and Ed wanted to see what damage had been done in the bay besides the loss of the yacht.

“Do you feel up to going outside and having a look around?” he asked Sammi. “Then I think we’ll get the fire going and make something warm to drink,” he added.

 

[AmbrosiaCaress]

~ the touch of lips, even for just a moment, felt so good to Sammi.. it had been such a long time, and she missed kissing a man, the touch of a man, hell she missed making love, the cuddling, the making out, the orgasm, she missed it all. This was the first time, since that night, that she had been this physically close to a man that was not a cop sent to protect her..

She could feel His breathing, and the pulse of His heart.. reaching up for a moment, she laid her hand gently against His chest just to feel His heartbeat, letting her eyes close..

*thump thump... thump thump...thump thump*

He pulled back...

“I’m sorry Sammi, I shouldn’t have done that, taking advantage of you when you’re all upset,”

She blinks open her eyes to look at Him... her thoughts telling her that... He was a gentleman on top of it all.. a sweet, handsome, gentleman.

"It's ok Ed.. It's been a long time for me, and..." she stopped there.. glancing down.. she wanted to kiss Him again, a long, deep, kiss.. she wanted to feel Him against her, holding her.. she wanted to feel Him inside her.. she wanted to feel alive again, alive and passionate and wanted again.. and...

safe... she wanted to feel safe.. and she felt that with Him..

The storm was passing, the wind, rain and thunder all moving into the distance. The lightning still flashed, but it was not as bright or intense.

“Do you feel up to going outside and having a look around?Then I think we’ll get the fire going and make something warm to drink,”

She nodded as she got up to follow Him to the door, and stepping back outside. The air was thick and moist, and very warm, huge water droplets dripped from leaves, flowers, pooled in small puddles in the sand..
The clouds, still dark and forboding, dotted the sky, but between there were now flashes of sunlight and blue sky..

She hung back a little, as He made His way to the beach to get a closer look at the wreckage of the yacht.. she not wanting to see, not wanting to see the dead Captain..

Her skin was flush from the heat and moisture in the air.. she still in her bikini... nervously she glides her slender fingers into and thru her long still damp hair... ~

 

[cyberman2005]

Ed wandered down the beach to see if there was anything that could be salvaged from the yacht that might be useful to them while they waited to be rescued. He looked back when he realised that Sammi hadn’t followed him, he saw a lovely young lady dressed in a brief bikini nervously brushing her hands through her hair.

He wondered if that quick kiss had been too soon but she didn’t appear to mind, maybe the storm was still affecting her, she did appear to be really scared while it was overhead. Not finding anything of use he turned back towards the cabin noting that the dinghy had managed to stay attached where they’d left it, at least they’d be able to fish from it, he knew there was fishing tackle in the cabin.

As he approached the porch where Sammi was standing he found his mobile phone lying in a pool of water just short of the porch, he bent down and picked it up. Trying it he saw that it wasn’t working, not that he expected it to work after being waterlogged.

“Now we know what I did with my phone,” he said to Sammi showing her the saturated phone. “It must have dropped out of my pocket as we dashed for shelter,” he added.

“We can’t do anything about it now, lets get something hot inside us, it’s quite cool after the storm and neither of us are wearing much,” he suggested as he made his way inside. He rummaged through the cupboards in the cabin finding various tins of food until he found a tin of thick vegetable soup.

“This should do us nicely,” he said showing the tin to Sammi and setting a light to the already laid fire. It wasn’t long before the fire was burning well giving a warm glow to the room. Ed opened the tin and poured the contents into a pan which he put over the fire to heat, looking out of the window he could see that the sky was cloudy causing a chill in the air.

“I was thinking that we’d have to survive on the contents of the hamper, but there’s enough tinned food here to last us a couple of weeks so the coast guards can take their time as far as I’m concerned. I’ve got plenty of food, the yachtsman said there was a spring out the back so there’s plenty of water, and I’ve got the company of a beautiful young lady. What more could I ask for?” Ed said laughing as he looked at Sammi for her reaction.

 

[AmbrosiaCaress]

~ She was more than glad when He returned to her.. She did not want to be alone.. alone on this island.. in Tahitian waters.. She knew eventually they would be rescued, there were hundreds of tourist boats.. one would come by here sooner or later.. but if she had been alone...

Well.. at least here she was safe from everyone.. She felt the safest she had felt in a long long time....

“I was thinking that we’d have to survive on the contents of the hamper, but there’s enough tinned food here to last us a couple of weeks so the coast guards can take their time as far as I’m concerned. I’ve got plenty of food, the yachtsman said there was a spring out the back so there’s plenty of water, and I’ve got the company of a beautiful young lady. What more could I ask for?”

They were back in the cabin, rummaging around. He found the cans of food, more than likely a couple had spent their honeymoon here or something along those lines.. there was a bed, a plush bed, and a fireplace if the nights got cool.. a fresh water spring out back.. plenty of gorgeous plants and flowers.. It really was paradise.. now if only she was on her honeymoon...

"Thank You Ed... You are very sweet" she turns from looking in the closet for any fresh sheets and blankets for the bed, which she actually found, a smile gracing her pretty face...

"This had to be a honeymoon cottage, Ed.. I am thinking that the couple was ferried out here and left for a day or 2 or more.. alone.. before being picked up. I found several bottles of champagne in here.. along with clean sheets and towels.. I am sure You are right, we will be found in a day or 2, even if the authorities don't come looking for us, the next set of Honeymooners will"

It never really occurred to her til that moment that she were alone.. with a handsome man... with only one bed... in a place that was obviously reserved and used for and by Lovers... It had been so long since she had a Lover. Been touched, kissed, Ed had been the first in such a long time..

She found her face blushing, she could feel it.. and turns away.. trying to still her slight trembling.. She was not even sure He liked her like that.. other than that quick kiss... and He had apologized for that the moment it happened... Well.. at least she had company to talk to.. that was a huge plus in her book... ~

 

[cyberman2005]

Ed smiled at Sammi’s comments about honeymooners, what she didn’t know was that this particular island was owned by the Mob and all the locals knew to steer clear of it. The other thing going through Ed’s mind was if they were stuck there for any length of time there was a good chance Sammi’s moon would be pierced.

What Ed wasn’t aware of was that the yachtsman had told the harbour master they could be gone for up to three weeks so nobody would miss them for that length of time. The other thing was that with the yacht gone none of the Mob would try to get to the island, they’d assume it was in use with the yacht moored nearby.

They ate their soup in silence neither one wishing to spoil the moment of peace and tranquillity after the storm, Ed was thinking about the sleeping arrangements, he couldn’t very well suggest that they share a bed. Sammi might object to that and he knew what would happen if they did, she hadn’t objected to the quick kiss but that didn’t mean she’d let him go further.

“You can have the bed, I’ll make do with one of the chairs or even the floor,” Ed told her after they’d finished eating. He knew that there was a spare mattress in the store so the floor wouldn’t be too bad, and he didn’t want to move too quickly with her.

“I’ll go out the back and get us some fresh water so we can wash up and have a hot drink later,” he said getting up and leaving the cabin.
