Page 37 of Noah's Reckoning
Zeke had told us about the island’s cabin. Said Ark knew about it, too. Once it was obvious they weren’t on the rig, I had to figure this would have been Ark’s play. On his way back to the shore he must have realized he couldn’t make it through the ice floes. He would have taken the bird in hand, which was the island and the shelter.
“Why the hell didn’t he just stay on the rig?” Eli asked, pushing through the thicket and snow ahead of us. “That would have been a better shelter than this.”
“We’ll know when I ask him,” I told him.
We came to a clearing and I stopped as I spotted the cabin. Just where Zeke said it would be.
“Hey, Angel, hold up,” I told him.
“Why? We’ve got to get them and get back to the shore before nightfall. Temperature’s supposed to drop again.”
I sighed. And heard Jackson grunt behind me.
I looked over my shoulder and saw a rare smile on his lips. Yeah, he knew what I was thinking.
Ark and Olivia. Three nights, four days alone in a cabin. Either one of them was dead or…
“I’m thinking we might need to give them some advance notice. Let them know we’re out here.”
I could see Eli catch on because he started chuckling. This was why I brought only Eli and Jackson on this little rescue trip. I didn’t need anyone making snide comments about Olivia. Eli and Jackson knew the score between those two. They would be respectful of her, maybe even happy for them.
“If I’m thinking what you’re thinking,” Eli said, “then Jackson won the bet. You said before winter. I figured they were going to fight it out until spring.”
Jackson grunted.
“So how do we do this?” Jackson asked. “Do we just call out to them?”
“You think of a better idea?” I asked him.
“No.”
“This is going to be great,” Eli said, rubbing his hands together. Nearly gleeful at the idea of catching Ark literally with his pants down.
I got a little closer to the cabin and cupped my hands over my mouth.
“Yo! Ark! You in there?”

Ark
“Fuck, fuck.” I had Olivia on her knees, ass high in the air as I was drilling her from behind. “You’re so fucking wet and hot. I was wrong before. I think I can fuck you forever.”
“Harder,” she grunted at me. “All of it, Noah. I want all of it.”
I loved that, too. She liked my edge, wanted that side of me. I slammed into her and she screamed with pleasure. “That’s my girl. That’s my, Liv. God, I love watching you take my cock.”
“Yo! Ark! You in there?”
I froze at the sound. “Fuck, it’s Cal.”
Olivia whimpered. I knew she was close. So close. I couldn’t leave her now.
I leaned over and growled in her ear. “No noise, baby, but you got to get there quick.” I started thrusting inside her hard.
“Yeah, we’re in here! You need to give us a minute…uh, we’re finishing up a game of rummy!” I shouted. “Come for me, Liv,” I growled.
She was whimpering again so I leaned over and put my hand over her mouth. I used my other thumb to stroke her clit. I could feel her tensing around me. One more second and she’d get there.
