Chapter 11

By Thursday he had began implementing a vibrator, which I had never tried before, but I was enjoying the effects. I felt as if something new in me had been awakened, a life I didn't plan, nor expect. I woke up on Saturday over thinking. It was my birthday and I was beginning to wonder if I was doing the right thing for me, or was I just trying to force myself out of my grief. I rolled over to my phone going off with happy birthday messages from my family and friends. I showered, blow dried my hair, put on makeup and stared at myself. I was still young, I couldn't spend my life in mourning, this trip may have saved me from my grief. "No," I said out loud. "This my day," I told myself getting up out of bed. I showered, did my hair and makeup and stood in my closet. I wanted to wow everyone today, I needed to feel confident and sexy today. I put on a white crop top t-shirt and black maxi shirt and headed down to breakfast. There were fresh made doughnuts for my birthday and a happy birthday banner, I smiled when I saw it all. Caleb did the same thing every year pancakes for breakfast, roses sent to me at work, and take out from my favorite restaurant. There was never anything new or exciting. Even my presents were always earrings or a necklace. One year I begged him for a new watch, there was one I had picked out, instead I got a new necklace with a rose dangling from the chain. I was grateful and it was beautiful and unique, but I felt like your birthday should be the one day it's all about you. Instead my birthdays were whatever he could get, there was no planning and no thought. It hurt my feelings, I would hope that maybe next year he would think ahead and plan something nice, but every year it was the same thing.

"Happy Birthday," Jack's deep voice whispered in my ear. His breath sending chills down my back, "Thank you," I whisper back. "Doughnuts," he said surprised. I took the plain one with vanilla frosting and chocolate chips and took a big bite, it was still warm and gooey, probably the best doughnut I've ever had. "What's the plan for today?" I asked taking a sip of milk. "Figured we could go hiking to a waterfall and have lunch," he suggested. "Sounds nice," I agreed with a wink.

After breakfast I ran upstairs, tucked my skirt and underwear in a backpack and put on a pair of tight black shorts that will work for hiking and swimming, and a black floral bikini top with my white shirt over it. I grabbed some sneakers and tossed my flip flops in my bag, with a brush and headed down the stairs. Jack was waiting with a backpack and picnic basket. The hike to the waterfall was beautiful, the beginning you could still see the beach. Once we hit the wooded area we could hear the rushing waters. It was at least thirty minute walk to the waterfall, but it was beautiful. We laid out a blanket set everything down, grabbed our snorkeling gear, and jumped in the water. I didn't think there would be as much life in the pool as there was. We ate lunch after awhile, sandwiches and fruit. "There's a ledge you can walk on behind the waterfall," Jack said. "Oh really, that would be cool," I replied excited. You only see that in movies so I was excited what it looked like, we hiked around and sure enough there was about a six foot ledge behind the waterfall that went into the rocks behind. I skimmed my hand along the water pouring over the ledge. The water falling was so loud I didn't hear Jack come up behind me. His hand dragged down my arms as he trailed kisses down my back, that made me take a sharp breath in. I turned as he stood up and kissed me so deeply that I felt dizzy when he released me. I pushed my back agains the cliff trying to brace myself as he kissed down my belly. His hands gently slid up my legs and seamlessly pulled my bottoms down. My breath quickened as his mouth and tongue dance across my clit. This was a first for me, Caleb wasn't really into any type of oral, at least with me. My head tipped back and my back arched with a flick of his tongue. My legs trembled as his mouth continued to assault me with pleasure. Jack's arms were the only thing holding me up wrapped around my legs, as my moaning got louder. His grip tightened as I called out in my climax, he wouldn't stop until I had a second climax. With that I melted to the cool stone floor with my head on Jack's chest, attempting to catch my breath and find some semblance of bones and muscle to stand on.

That was another first, Caleb wasn't really invested into my pleasure, so if I did have a climax it was one and that was it. We laid there for a few minutes, before Jack asked if I was ready to head back. He helped my up, we walked back to the blanket and Jack knelt down and began packing up all the picnic food in the basket. I starred at him, it was a few minutes before he realized, "What?" He asked. I didn't say anything I just took off my swim suit and ran and jumped into the pool. He stood on the shore not sure what I was doing, I popped up out of the water, "What are you doing?" He questioned. I shrugged, "When's the next chance I'm going to have to skinny dip," I answered. He laughed, paused and then stripped and jumped in after me. "Don't take me down," I yelled looking around on the surface for him. He popped up next to me, "It's kinda cold," I confessed. He shook his head, "What happened to seizing the opportunity?" He asked pulling me closer. His arms wrapped me up and we kissed, gentle but I could feel something different. He pulled back his eyes still closed, this time I trailed kisses down and around his neck. "We're going to be late," he whispered. "For what?" I murmured. "Your birthday," he replied. I stopped and we walked to shore, I dried off and couldn't help myself, I walked over and kissed his back. I tipped his head back, "I told you we're gonna be late," he protested. I stopped as he turned around, I dropped to my knees and teased him a little giving him light kisses up and down the shaft, before taking it all into my mouth. I heard him inhale sharply as I pull him in and twirl him around with my tongue. It wasn't long before I felt his fingers intwine in my hair, he didn't push or pull just grabbed my hair. As I moved him in and out I started sucking, creating a vacuum, that made his breathing quicken. I began an unhestitating pace, "Fuuuck," he moaned and as he climaxed I slid him in as far as I could. He moaned and I could feel him twitch slightly, before collapsing on the ground. I laid next to him, my head on his arm, "Why do you do these things?" He asked. "What things?" I asked. He rolled over and stared into my eyes with his soul seeing brown eyes, "Why do you," he stopped. "I'm not the only one who needs pleasure," I smiled coyly. He pushed the hair back from my face, "I'm afraid," he paused kissing my forehead, his hand running down my back, "I'm afraid you are bewitching me," he whispered before looking down at me. I smiled sweetly, mostly because in that moment I was feeling pretty proud of myself. We got dressed in our clothes, I started brushing out my hair. Jack grabbed the brush and gently brushed my hair back. It was a simple jesture, but one with so much meaning. I turned when he was done and took my brush, "Thank you," I said sweetly. He pulled me close and kissed me, "We could do this all day," he told me raising an eye brow. "Is that a bad thing?" I asked. "We have reservations," he answered. "I guess we should head back," I pouted. He laughed put his arm around me and headed back, where cars and everyone was waiting and yelled, "Happy Birthday!"

The cars drove us to the village for dinner at a local restaurant, it was open to the west side of the island. We had a long table over looking the beach, there was amazing food and wine and a special dessert with sparklers. I probably turned bright red as everyone sang to me, but I felt loved and warm and like I was amongst friends. It was one of the best birthday's I had, by far, I may have paid for it, but I felt relaxed and happy.

We headed out and saw a local hole in the wall had a live band outside and people dancing, "Come on," I pulled at Jack. "No," he said shaking his head. I walked over and started swing my hips and brought back the belly dancing I took just to spite my mom. She wanted me to do ballet like my sister, but I felt rebellious and signed up for belly dancing. I was two months into my lessons before she realized which class I was actually going into and my dad told her she couldn't pull me out, because we would lose the money. Jack's jaw almost dropped when he saw I knew what I was doing, "How," he began. "The questionnaire never asked if I could dance," I laughed. I grabbed his hand and we began to grind into each other, I giggled as his arms wrapped around me. I felt care free and forgot that I even had a life beyond this moment. We dance a few songs before climbing into the car and heading back. I rested my head on his shoulder and he put his arm around me, "Have fun?" He asked. "Best birthday I've ever had," I answered smiling.

Pulling up outside the main house, I felt a little sleepy, but also a little more confident. We walked in hand in hand, this time I didn't let go as I headed up the stairs. I opened my doors and pulled him in, shutting and locking the doors. We didn't have to speak, our lips meet, needing each other, and pulling at each others clothes as we made our way to the bed. I broke the kiss just to pull the blankets back and we climbed in next to each other, kissing. He trailed down to my breasts giving them equal much needed attention as our legs entwined together. Jack looked into my eyes, I nodded and I took a ragged breath in as he filled me. He slid out and slowly thrusted back in to me hitting a spot inside I never knew existed. "Are you ok?" He whispered. I nodded. "Breath," he murmured against my lips. I hadn't even realized I hadn't let the breath out. As he moved I began to moan and arch my back off the bed, "Breath, baby," he whispered every few thrusts. I closed my eyes in sheer ecstasy as he continues to pick up his pace, rocking his hips. With every grind I was pushed closer and closer until I was pushed over that edge. He kissed my neck as I moaned and panted, trying to catch my breath. Jack wasn't far behind me as I pulsated around him and sent him into climax with a final push. He carefully tossed the condom he used into the garbage and climbed back into bed, wrapping me up in his arms. I fell asleep that night feeling perfectly content and blissfully blocking out everything not on that island.
