Let’s see if I can catch him off guard.

I made sure to not make one sound, but just as I reached the edge of the water, Havoc’s deep voice rose in the air. “It’s about time you woke up.”

A smile tugged at my lips. “Did you hear me coming just now, or did you smell me coming?”

He chuckled. “Both, my sweet wildcat. Both.”

For some odd reason, those damn words sent a rush of heat through me.

I stood there, feeling the pull of Havoc’s presence, he turned his head slightly, just enough for me to catch the playful glint in his eyes. “Come in the water, Onyx.”

“Why?”

“I want to lick your pussy.”

My pulse quickened.

I looked to my right and spotted a large palm leaf laid out neatly on the ground, covered with fresh, plump strawberries, and beside it, a hacked-open coconut.

“Or. . .” He turned around and caught me staring at the berries. “You can eat breakfast. I picked them for you.”

I felt a warmth bloom in my chest at the gesture. It was unexpected, this tender side of him, and it made my heart swell with something deeper than just the passion we had shared last night.

I looked back at him. “Did you get any sleep?”

“I did, but not as long as you.” Havoc locked his gaze onto mine, and his eyes were warm and held a rare softness in them that I hadn’t seen before. “Once I woke up, I figured you would be starving so. . .”

“Thank you for making me breakfast.”

“Do not thank me.”

I frowned. “Because I’m going to thank you later?”

“No.” He smirked. “Because I was put on this island to worship you.”

I blinked. “W-why did you say. . .that word?”

He laughed.

“Havoc, I’m serious. Why did you say the word, worship?”

“Because you have been whispering that word in your sleep all day.”

“Oh.” I tensed.

“What did you dream about?”

“Nothing.” While I was hungry and thirsty, I yearned for Havoc’s touch more.

Instead of heading to my breakfast, I took another step closer to river’s edge.

He watched me. “Do you have to go to the bathroom?”

I scowled at him. “No. Why?”

“You know why.”

I let out a long breath. “Last night was the first and last time you will ever watch me pee.”
