He bit his lip.“Maybe both.”
Alle stopped teasing her clit and offered him her wetted fingers to suck clean.“You know, I hoped you’d say that.”
“Alle…”
God, he was so tormented.And so deliriously delicious in that torment.“We… you don’t have to do this.We could literally stay here, and I can belt your arse and then fuck you afterwards if that’s all you want.We can keep it relaxed and private.It’s insane even contemplating this at this stage.”
“Spook, it’s not insane.”The spray was trickling down his face.He looked impossibly perfect, eyes bright, lips parted, so utterly desirous and compelling.“I vote for kiss chase.”She shrugged and then rechristened it.“Catch Me, Cane Me, Fuck Me, Thrill Me.Also, if that isn’t a song, it should be.”
“I’ll remember to suggest it to the guys.”
Was that the ghost of some humour surfacing again?It was, wasn’t it?His shoulders were no longer hunched up to his ears.“You get that this ticks a load of boxes for me too, right?”She’d be lying if she ever claimed she’d never fantasised about being chased, or held down, or punished for disobedience, or having a man force his will on her.Insistently.Sometimes violently.It wasn’t the sort of thing she could have admitted to any of her former boyfriends.They’d have marched her off to see a psychiatrist.Spook was different though.Spook got it.He wanted to chase, to capture, to force his will on her, and show no mercy.To fuck her long, and deep, and hard.To make her his in every bloody sense.Like she wasn’t that already.
Shit!A feeling of giddy elation was already rushing over her.She wanted this.Wanted to do this.To make-believe, just for a little while.Just the two of them.
“How long until the fans board this boat?”
A startled chuckle formed his initial reply, then a smile spread across his face, stretching his lips wide, and narrowing his hungry eyes down to slits.“At least an hour, possibly a little more.”
They both stared at one another.Alle watched the spark in his blue eyes dance with excitement.Her breaths were rough in her throat.She was stupidly turned on, and definitely not thinking about actual practicalities.“How much of a head start do I get?”
Spook killed the spray, and pushed his wet hair back of his face.“Normally I’d say about thirty seconds, but since you’re wet and naked, how about we make it ninety?”
Ninety seconds to put on enough clothing to appear decent, and leg it along the corridor wasn’t very long.“Surely the aim isn’t to catch me immediately.”
“But the aim is to catch you.Two minutes,” he negotiated.
“And if I say ‘Bubblebutt’ you’ll stop?”
“If either of us says ‘Bubblebutt’, we’ll stop.”
They both nodded, almost bashing heads in the process.Alle leaned in and kissed his lips.
“Ready,” he murmured.“Set.Go.”
What?Wait.Shit!
Alle burst out of the bathroom and skidded across the floor.She spent way too long trying to locate her shoes, which were hiding beneath a chair.At least they were slip-ons.That left her practically no time to dress.Luckily her shift-dress was still on the chair from when they’d been swimming last night.She grabbed that and yanked it over her head.It reached mid-thigh, so it covered her, but if it rose even a little bit she’d be flashing everything.Too bad, there wasn’t time to grab any underwear, and in any case, her knickers were currently in the shower with Spook.
Had he picked them up?Was he breathing in the scent of her off the fabric?
Alle had just slipped into the corridor when she heard Spook emerge from the bathroom.Would he stop to waste time with clothing?Maybe he’d think his band mates had seen it all before.Bugger… bugger…Shorts, he only needed shorts to qualify as decent.Frantic, she kicked into a sprint that took her crashing through the door at the end of the corridor.She burst onto the main deck panting, her face already hot.
“Alle?Hey.”Rock Giant and Ronnie both waved at her.They were sitting side by side on sun loungers.
She gingerly waved back, while holding onto her hem, her cheeks now burning.
“You all right?”
“Uh huh.”She attempted a weirdly harried walk, then ploughed down the nearest set of stairs.What were they going to think when Spook came tearing after her?
“What was that about?”she heard Rock Giant ask.
“Dunno,” Ronnie replied.“I’d ask, but I don’t think she wants to talk right now.”
Alle kept on running as she willed Ronnie not to follow.A member of the crew greeted her on the stairs.Dammit, this ship was crawling with people, and there were only supposed to be a tiny handful on board.She needed to find somewhere isolated on this hulking beast where they weren’t going to be interrupted.God only knows what anyone who stumbled on them might think.
Argh!Wasn’t there anywhere safe?She nearly ploughed head first in to Ginny.
