Asia got up and approached the window, as she gazed up at the exquisite wind chime she had missed the first time she had been at the window. John had made that! How little she yet knew of the man!
Her gaze caught on something in the distance. Through the filtered view of the surrounding trees, she saw the ocean. John was sitting on the beach. He appeared to be simply sitting staring out at the choppy water of the small bay. He looked the picture of solitary aloneness, in all of its stark quality, and the sight of it made her heart squeeze on behalf of him.
Asia glanced off to the side at the screens filled with the mysteries of the Code. It demanded her attention, but right now John needed her. There would be plenty of time to solve the Code's riddles later. She switched the machines off and grabbed up a blanket from off the bed to wrap around her, as she stepped out into the chilly morning air barefoot.
Asia followed along an intricately laid flagstone pathway, as she headed out to where she'd seen John sitting on the beach. A man would have to have a lot of time to play around with to accomplish so much work without much purpose to it other than that it looked nice. Now he had her to play with and she couldn't deny how much she was looking forward to being intimate with her one time would-be rapist.
The morning was starting to finally warm up, as the sun ate through the cloud cover overhead. It was good to be back. The island had stayed the same, but I was different in so many ways. I smelled her before I heard her. She had a scent all of her own that intoxicated me.
To wake up this morning with her warm and snuggled up against me trustingly had been both an amazing experience and a torment. She sat down beside me so close that we were touching. Her cute feet were bare and sort of shocked I let my eyes travel up her bare legs to mid thigh where the blanket cut off my view. She hadn't put anything else on yet? This display of open skin was so unlike her!
I met her smiling gaze, "Good morning sunshine!" She said warmly.
She already had me off my guard somehow, "Good morning." I responded at a lack for words, as I basked in the warmth of her presence.
Her smiling face turned serious, "I want to apologize for last night John. I could've gotten us both killed jumping out of the plane like that. It was foolish of me and I could have proven the point I was trying to make some other way."
