The dance music went on all night. I drifted in and out of sleep. I had vivid dreams. In one, I danced in a dingy South American bar with Caden perched on a barstool watching me.
Even in my dreams, Caden didn’t dance.
The sun rose and illuminated the room. Caden snored. His breath tickled my neck. He held me close all night.
In Costa Rica we’d go to sleep in each other’s arms but in the night, it would be too hot, and we would drift apart. It was nice to sleep together in air-conditioned comfort. I shifted in his arms and turned around to face him.
“What are you doing up?” Caden’s groggy voice startled me.
“I feel like I’ve been sleeping for days.” He shifted onto his back and I laid my head on his chest.
“You okay?” He rubbed his knuckles up and down my side.
“I don’t know.” I shrugged my shoulders and ran my fingers down his side.
“Hey,” he pulled my hair, “I don’t purposely keep things from you.”
“Okay.” I lifted my head and rested my chin on his chest.
“Do you trust me?” His soulful eyes bore into me. Begging me.
“Of course, I do.” I kissed his chest.
“I contacted Carlos shortly after we settled in Costa Rica. I needed help to keep us safe.” Caden nodded. “He’s well connected and can see much farther than I could. About a week ago, he informed me they might be getting close.”
“How do you know you can trust him?” I asked “And, how do you know he didn’t tip them off?”
“When I met Carlos, he used to feed me info on some of his father’s rivals.” Caden pinched my cheek. “I have stuff on him that could destroy him, and he knows it.”
“What prevents him from just getting rid of you? His secrets die with you.” I sit up in the bed. A sudden chill hit me. I wrapped the blanket around me.
“Carlos is a strategic man. He does nothing unless there’s a reason for it. There’s no reason for him to kill me. I am more useful to him alive.” Caden sat up and leaned against the headboard.
“I don’t like this. I think we should go.” I scooted to the side of the bed. Caden grabbed me around the waist and pulled me back to him.
“Relax, it’s going to be okay. We won’t stay any longer than we have to. I need Carlos’ help for us to disappear again.” Caden leaned over and kissed me on the neck. “Let’s just enjoy his hospitality for a couple days and keep our eyes and ears open.”
“And, where are we going, after we leave here?” I crawled on his lap and straddled him.
“I don’t know, where would you like to go?” He ran his hand down the center of my chest. A chill from another source ran through me.
“Australia.”
“Why Australia?” Caden squeezed my ass.
“Because it’s far, far, far away from here.”
“You want to go far away from here?”
“Away from it all.”
“Come on.” Caden flipped me on my back. “I can take you down under.”
In a fit of giggles, all worries dissipated. I wiggled beneath him, but he had me pinned down. He grinded his pelvis into me. My insides clinched. His weight enveloped me and made me feel safe. I stared up into his eyes. They were dark with pure lust. His cock twitched between us. He moved against my center. My wetness coated him. He rubbed my clit with the tip of his cock.
I wrapped my legs around him and held him tight. He pushed my braid out of my face and held the back of my head as he leaned in and kissed me. Pressing his tongue into me as his cock found its own way to my entrance. I arched my hips and he sunk into me.
