He looked over and saw her rubbing her eyes to
get a clear look out the window. Looking confused, she said, “Where
are we?”

“We are flying into Kauai.”

“Kauai, as in Hawaii? Are you serious? Holy
shit, I’ve never been to Hawaii!” Now she seemed wide awake and was
leaning over him to peer out of the window.

Chuckling, he said, “I have a house here. I’m
sorry we are only staying for a few days, but I promise to bring
you here another time for a nice, long stay.”

“A few days is perfect, Owen. Thank you for
bringing me here. Although, I don’t know if I’m more excited about
being here or being able to have some uninterrupted time with
you.”

“That’s why we’re here.” He kissed her softly on
the lips. The plane landed, they departed and went to a waiting
SUV. Steven looked like he slept about as well as Owen did, but
both women seemed well rested.

The time difference would throw everyone off,
but they could live on whatever schedule they wanted and not bother
to adjust since the trip was short. Besides, Owen’s main purpose of
the trip was to get Cali alone, in his bed and to fuck her
senseless. He didn’t want anyone ruining the moment he’d been
waiting ten years for.

The SUV took them right to his house on the
beach. He made sure to call ahead and asked his maid if she could
go grocery shopping. He didn’t want to have to leave the house upon
arrival and knew everyone would be hungry since the meal on the jet
was light.

He had been scrolling through email and wasn’t
paying attention when the SUV pulled into the driveway. He only
looked up when he heard Cali gasp. “What’s wrong?” Her eyes were
wide, but she didn’t look afraid.

Pointing in front of her, she asked, “This is
your house? You own this house?”

Owen chuckled and said, “Yes, this is my house.
Do you want to get out of the SUV and go inside?”

“What do you think?”

He opened the door, grabbing Cali’s hand. The
house was two stories with a light tan exterior. The bottom level
was raised and open in spots with two wings. Walking in the front
door was a beautiful entryway that flowed into a formal living
room. The entire interior had cherry wood beams and high
ceilings.

Through the formal living room was a deck that
had a high roof like the rest of the house. Then, down a flight of
wide, wood stairs was an infinity edge pool surrounded by coral
colored pavers and a black wrought iron fence. There was an amazing
view of the beach and ocean. The house sat up a little and there
were stairs on the side that led to the beach.

Palm trees were spread throughout the land and
the deck had what looked like a comfortable seating area. While she
walked around the pool area, Owen helped Adeline prepare a quick
meal. To them it was early in the morning, but in Hawaii it was
late in the evening.

He wanted to eat fast then get Cali into bed. He
never invited any other women with him to the house in Kauai and
loved that he could share one of his favorite places with her. He
bought the best money could buy, but flaunting it wasn’t his
style.

She walked up the stairs as the food was being
set out. Steven joined them and they all relaxed to enjoy each
other’s company and the view of the ocean. When they finished
eating, Adeline was quick to shoo them away, insisting she will
clean everything. Owen really lucked out finding her and Steven. He
never took either of them for granted.

Grabbing Cali’s hand he led her to the east wing
of the house. Steven and Adeline stayed on the other side. He knew
even if Cali screamed his name in ecstasy they wouldn’t hear.
Unless all of the windows were open, but they weren’t since the
temperature was high. Central air was on, cooling the house
down.

Owen brought her to the master suite, opened the
door and immediately pushed her up against the wall. He wasn’t
wasting any time. She was all that mattered and he was going to
worship her body until he collapsed.

The second his lips found her neck she was
moaning. She quickly stripped him and Owen returned the favor by
removing her top and bra. His mouth kissed a trail to her right
breast while his hand massaged the left one. He lifted her up and
she instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist.

“Are you on anything?”

Breathing heavily, she said, “Yes.”

“Good, because I don’t want anything between us.
I want to feel all of you.”

He carried her over to the bed and took her
shorts and panties off in one swift movement. He took off the
remainder of his clothes and crawled on top of her. He had
intentions of making their first time slow and tender, but there
was no way that was happening. It was going to be fast and
hard.

Cali wound her legs over his hips and rolled him
to his back. She ran her hands over his chest and abs, down to his
rock hard dick. She stroked him slowly and her tongue greedily
found his. She positioned herself so he was right at her
entrance.

She slowly lowered herself onto him, but Owen
couldn’t wait. He pulled her down hard, fully sheathing himself
with her. The feeling caused him to moan loudly. Her body fit him
perfectly.

He sat up and said, “Caliana, I have wanted you
since we first kissed ten years ago. You are beautiful, kind and
fiery. Everything I want in a woman. No one compares to you and I’m
the luckiest man on earth to have you. I will always cherish
you.”

With tears in her eyes she said, “You are
amazing. I don’t deserve someone like you, to be spoiled the way
you do. You are the sweetest, most caring person. I’m yours and you
can have all of me.”

“You don’t see yourself like I do. You
do
deserve to be spoiled. You have no idea how precious
you are to me, do you?”

She shook her head and he could see the tears
falling from her cheeks. Owen kissed her like tomorrow was never
going to come. Like it was his last day on earth and he poured all
of his emotions into that one kiss.

Turning so he was on top, he started moving
inside of her. Cali moaned, lifting her hips to meet his movement.
Bringing his head down to suck on her pebbled nipple, she threaded
her fingers into his hair.

The sensations rushing through him were too
much. He was fighting to keep from coming, wanting her to first.
Making small circles on her clit with his thumb while continuing to
thrust inside, he knew she was getting close. Cali was moaning
loudly and bending her back off of the bed.

Bringing his head up, he whispered in her ear,
“Come for me, Caliana. Now.”

Hearing his words must have been the final
straw. Her body shook underneath him. Owen called her name as
ecstasy took over. He was so far gone that he barely felt her nails
digging into his arms.

She slowly relaxed the hold on him as she
started to calm from her climax. Owen kept her close and shifted to
his side continuing to stay connected to her. He moved the hair
from her face and placed kisses everywhere. Once he saw a tear had
escaped he moved his thumb to capture it.

“Don’t cry, beautiful.”

Her voice was shaky. “I can’t help it. No man
has ever made me feel this way. I’m falling for you, Owen, and that
scares me.”

“Don’t be scared. I would never hurt you,
Caliana. You are my dream come true.”

She embraced him and rested her head on his
shoulder. Owen wanted to pummel the shit out of the man who hurt
her in the past. To think someone out there hurt her made his blood
boil. He hoped he never came face to face with the asshole.

They fell asleep in each other’s arms, clinging
to one another, not wanting to let go. She had said she was falling
for him, but he had already fallen, a long time ago.

* * * * * * * *

Cali’s eyes opened, feeling the warm sun heating
her skin and Owen’s lips pressed to her forehead. “Good morning,
beautiful.”

Smiling, Cali squeezed him tight and closed her
eyes for a few more minutes. She wanted to stay in the warmth of
those arms for a little longer, but she remembered they were in
Kauai and wanted to look out of the window. Maybe she could see the
ocean from the bedroom.

Cali sat up, stretched, looked outside and
froze. Owen turned to look in the same direction. “Do you like the
view?”

“Um, hell yes I like the view!” She turned to
him, excitement in her voice. “Can we have breakfast outside?”

“We can eat wherever you want.”

When they arrived the night before the sky was
dark and while you could see the ocean, the waves during the day
were amazing. He went to the kitchen and reappeared with coffee for
two and jumped in the shower. He was standing with his muscular
back to the water when she stepped into the bathroom. Opening the
shower door, she entered and her delicate fingers found his
powerful chest.

She stood on her tip toes to kiss him on the
lips. Owen’s tongue found hers and in a matter of seconds she could
feel something solid press against her stomach. “Someone is happy
to see me,” she teased.

“Someone is very happy to see you and springs to
life every time you’re near.”

She laughed and reached behind him to grab a
mesh shower sponge. Putting body wash on it, she washed his entire
body, making sure to give his cock extra attention. She rubbed him
with a soapy hand eliciting a growl from him.

With a husky voice he said, “My turn now.”

Taking the sponge from her, he added a little
more body wash and started at her neck. Owen slowly washed her
back, over her ass, to her slender legs and then started on the
front. He rose, stopping to take one long lick of her wet mound
causing her to shudder. He made sure to wash every inch of her.

As Cali was rinsing off he even washed her hair.
The feeling of his hands on her scalp, massaging her head, made her
sigh with contentment. She turned to rinse off and began to slowly
stroke him again. He quickly lifted her and put her back against
the wall. He glided into her easily. She loved that one touch could
turn him on so much.

“You feel so good, beautiful. Like you were made
just for me.”

He started off slow, but soon quickened the
pace. He bent his head to take one of her taut nipples into his
mouth, lightly tugged on it with his teeth. She begged, “Owen,
please. I need to feel you moving inside of me.”

His fingers dug into her backside. “Touch
yourself, Caliana.”

She didn’t even hesitate when she brought her
hand to her clit. It didn’t take long and within minutes she was
screaming Owen’s name. He pushed into her hard and fast. She felt
his strong arms flex beneath her fingers as he moved. He held her
up like she was light as a feather.

It wasn’t long before he came too. Once they
were able to catch their breath, Owen gently placed her on the
floor. He used the sponge the clean his remnants from between her
legs, shut the shower off, reached for a towel and dried her
off.

“Get dressed, we have plans today,” he said with
a wink.

Owen covered his waist with a towel and left her
standing in the bathroom wondering what the day would hold. She
wouldn’t have minded staying in bed all day, but they were in
Hawaii after all. There was a huge ocean and beach outside among a
ton of other things she wanted to see.

Cali dressed and after she finished towel drying
and styling her hair she noticed he was no longer in the bedroom.
She strolled through the house, stopping every so often to look
around. The house was enormous. She wasn’t even sure how many
bedrooms there were, but thought all of her family and friends
could sleep under its roof.

When Cali reached the main living room she saw
him out on the deck. He was setting out breakfast for the two of
them. She stood in the doorway watching him.

He didn’t seem to notice her standing there. Her
mind drifted, wondering why Owen wanted her, what he saw. No job,
not even looking for a new one, but what she did have was a huge
heart and the man in front of her was taking more and more of
it.

Owen was placing food on plates. He was wearing
a dark olive green t-shirt and khaki shorts. The way the shirt
clung to his muscular arms with each movement made her hot all
over. Roving over his body, her eyes moved to take in the shape of
his firm ass and his strong legs.
This man could knock someone
out with one punch
, she thought.

She stepped onto the deck, her sandals making a
soft clap on the wood. Owen looked up and a warm smile lit his
face. Not knowing where they were going she chose a soft pink tank
top and white, cotton shorts. She loved the way he looked at her,
taking her in. The look made her feel sexy and wanted.

When she reached him, he brought his hand up to
brush one of her curls from her face. “You are gorgeous and you’re
mine.”

Cali nodded. “All yours.” He took his thumb and
brushed the soft pad over her lower lip.

“Let’s eat before I take you down to the pool
and have my way with you.”

“Hmmm,” she said, acting like she was deep in
thought. “Maybe we can take a dip later. Might be fun.”

“I’ll hold you to it. Now sit and eat. We have a
reservation to keep.”

“Where are we going?” she asked.

“Haven’t you learned yet? I like to surprise
you.”

Mumbling she said, “I hate surprises.” But he
heard and laughed.

They ate breakfast while watching the waves
gently lap the shore. A light breeze was blowing causing the palm
trees to rustle. Cali could see a couple of sailboats out on the
water. She was mentally etching the moment into her memory, not
wanting to forget a single minute of the trip.

Owen kept her on her toes and she was starting
to like it. He was always moving. She usually preferred more of a
schedule, a routine. To know what every day held.

Before, all of the surprises and spontaneity
would have driven her crazy, but she was learning to relax and go
wherever Owen wanted. The way he took care of her, always thinking
of her needs, she felt like she was in a dream, waiting to wake
up.
