Escape

By Denise

We checked into the Frederiksted Hotel around 7 p.m. and we went our separate ways agreeing to meet in the lobby in one hour.

I walked into the hotel room and found it was a decorated beautifully in French design, from the furniture, to the rugs and the bed. I went out onto the balcony and noticing the breath taking view of the ocean. Ricardo came up to me and wrapped his arms around me, holding me tight against him.

"What are we going to do tonight?" I turned around and gazed into his eyes. His mouth came on down on mine. His tongue slipped between my parted lips with comforting persuasion.

He withdrew his lips and then embraced me. I laid my head against his shoulder, nuzzling his neck. He then pulled away from me. "We are going to the Blue Moon restaurant to have dinner."

"Anything else?" I asked as I followed him back into the room.

"No, I want to come back here and get some sleep."

"Oh," I pouted.

He walked to the front door. "What else do you want?"

"To make love to you."

He laughed as he looked back at me. "Are you coming?"

"Yes." I slowly walked to the door. "Why are you laughing at me?"

"I think I have created a monster."

"Well, you started it several months ago. So it's all your fault." I stood in front of him.

"Okay…I will take the blame."

"Good!" I smiled as I gave him a kiss. "Let's go…I am starved."

We found David and Michelle waiting for us. He had already gotten us a taxi for the ride to the restaurant. It was a Cajun style restaurant and nightclub. First we ordered drinks and then ordered dinner. I had the Cajun chicken dinner and Ricardo had the fish dinner. David and Michelle both ordered the vegetarian. There was a Jazz band playing as we ate our dinner, it was like being in New Orleans. Then it was time to head back to the hotel.

"Annalie, why don't you and Michelle go up stairs and we will be there in a few minutes?" Ricardo suggested as we got out of the taxi. "We need to make some arrangements for tomorrow."

"Okay, don't be long." I kissed him on the lips and then took the key from his hand.

I invited Michelle to come to my room until the guys showed up. "Isn't this place incredible!" I said as I unlocked the door.

"Oh I know. I really love it here." Michelle walked into the room as I turned on the lights.

"I wonder what they are planning for tomorrow?"

"I don't know, but it keeps getting better all the time." I sat down on the loveseat and took my shoes off. Michelle sat in the chair across from me. "Shall we open this?" I asked as I picked up the bottle of champagne from the bucket on the table.

"Sure…I think we need to celebrate."

I unwrapped the foil off the top of the bottle and then wondered how to get this cork out. "Do you know how to do this?"

"No. Let me see that." She took it from my hands and attempted to get the cork off. Then all of a sudden it popped off as the champagne sprayed everywhere.

I found some glasses by the sink in the bathroom. We filled each with champagne and made a toast to the future. We were laughing and feeling no pain when the door opened and Ricardo came in.

"What have you two been up to?" he asked as he came towards us. He then picked up the bottle off the table, noticing it was almost empty. Then the phone rang and so Ricardo went over to answer it. "Hello." He then paused for a moment. "She is here… you better come down to get her. I don't think she would make it there on her own." He then hung up the phone then came back over to me and took the glass from my hand. "I think you have had enough."

"Why do you say that?" I started giggling again.

Then there was a knock on the door Ricardo turned away from me to go answer the door. I grabbed Michelle and we went into the bathroom. We left the bathroom door open as we watched Ricardo answer the front door. "David, come on in," he said.

"What's going on here?" David asked.

"Our ladies have had a little too much champagne." I heard him say as I watched him turn around and noticed we had disappeared. "Annalie," Ricardo called out.

We quickly closed the door and stood against it. "What are we doing?" Michelle giggled.

"I don't know, just acting silly."

"Annalie." He jiggled the doorknob. "Let me in."

"Why should I?"

"Because I said."

"Oh, all right." I opened the door and he was standing next to the door when we came out of the bathroom, together.

"What were you doing in there?" he asked as Michelle went back into the living room.

"Just hiding," I giggled as I went back into the living room.

Then David came over to Michelle and said, "Let's go back to our room."

"Yes, boss," Michelle giggled. "Goodnight Anna, good luck tonight."

"Thanks."

I fell down onto the loveseat as Ricardo closed the door. He walked past me and went into the bathroom. A few seconds later he opened the door and called to me, "Annalie, why don't you come in here with me?"

"Why should I?"

"Annalie, get in here!"

"Okay, boss." I got up from the sofa then took off my clothes and headed for the bathroom. I opened the bathroom door and found him already in the shower.

"What took you so long?"

"I don't feel very well."

"I wonder why?" He pulled me inside and held me under the hot water, until I finally relaxed. "I just thought we could save on water by showering together."

He gently kissed me and then handed me the bar of soap. He began washing himself as I looked around for a washcloth. I opened the door and found some on a rack. I quickly grabbed it and got back inside. I lathered up my washcloth and started to wash his stomach as he washed his arms and chest. I went on down between his legs. He groaned as I washed cock and back to his firm ass. I rinsed him thoroughly and then I grabbed his cock and started to stroke him.

"Annalie, stop!"

"What's wrong?"

He backed away from me. "I am exhausted and I need some sleep."

"Okay…what ever you say."

He then opened the door and said, "Hurry up…don't keep me waiting." He looked back and gave me a wink.

"Yes, boss."

He then closed the door as I quickly finished showering and then brushed my teeth. I walked out of bathroom and saw that he was already in bed. I was nervous as I went out onto the balcony and looked out towards the ocean and then up to the stars like I did the night before. My skin tingled in the night air as the ocean breeze softly blew against my face and body. I went back in and over to the opposite side of the bed. This will be the first time we will share a bed. I lay down on the bed and pulled the covers up to me with my back towards him.

"It's about time you came to bed," he whispered as I felt his warm body against mine. "Now we can get some sleep…goodnight."

"Goodnighth" I sighed as we both drifted off to sleep.

The next day was full of adventure. Ricardo rented a jeep and went to the Cruzan Rum distillery and took a tour; it had been there for over 300 years. We sat on their patio and enjoyed complimentary rum drinks. Then we went through the gift shop finding lots of great treasures.

After that we went to an authentic Danish sugar estate called the Whim Plantation, which was now a museum. We took a tour of the elegantly furnished great house and explored the sugar factory ruins. They also had a gift shop, with a large selection of crafts, furniture and souvenirs.

It was late afternoon when we returned back to the hotel, to get ready for our evening at the Harbour Nights. It was a place where the local residents show off their musical talents. It was a cultural festival of live music, dancing, food and shops that stay open late, so we could do more shopping, if we wanted. They had a buffet so we could eat whenever we wanted. Ricardo had just returned from getting more food when this big-busted woman boldly came up to him.

"Ricardo," she screamed as she pulled him to his feet and threw her arms around him. Her hair was long and dark. She was wearing a skintight red dress that showed off her huge breasts and was short enough I could see her ass. I watched this woman as she kissed Ricardo and then she loudly asked, "Where the hell have you been?" She then grabbed him by the balls. I was furious as I continued watching this in disbelief. "Let's go someplace so we can fuck like we use to," she said as she kissed him again and he began returning her kiss, grabbing her ass.

I stood up from my chair. "Who the hell are you? Get your fucking hands off my man!"

She stopped kissing Ricardo and finally looked at me. "Who the fuck are you?"

"I asked you first."

"Annalie, I will explain," Ricardo said.

I looked at this woman and back to Ricardo. "One of you better explain this."

"Honey, Ricardo and I have spent a lot of time together…haven't we hot cakes?" She pinched his cheeks waiting for him to answer.

"Well…that time is over…he is mine now!" I was shaking as I looked at Ricardo. "I'm going back to the hotel…I have had enough of this!" I said as I grabbed my handbag.

"Annalie, wait!"

I looked back at Ricardo. "I want to be alone for awhile." I then turned around and walked back to the hotel. Michelle followed me.

"Why am I upset?" She walked next to me and listened as I talked. "I never knew his past, he only told me about his family. He could be married all I know. He never talked about any past relationships." We walked several miles and finally made it back to the hotel. Michelle came to my room and we talked for a while.

"I know he would never hurt you," Michelle finally said. "He's in love with you."

"Oh I know. I just can't believe that, that woman! I didn't like the way she grabbed him."

"I have never seen you stand up for a guy before."

"I know…he's worth fighting for," I said as the door opened and Ricardo came into the room.

"Michelle, will you please leave us alone?"

"Yes." She hugged me and then left.

He closed the door and locked it. I went out onto the balcony. I wasn't sure if I was ready to face him. I stood against the railing staring out towards the sea when I felt the heat of his body behind me. I trembled as his hand touched my arm. I swallowed hard trying to hold back my tears. He moved my hair away from my neck and kissed it. His lips lingered sucking on my skin and his tongue moved lightly across my skin and up into my ear. I sighed a ragged breath still trying to control my tears, but once he touched me I couldn't control them any longer. I turned around and ran towards the bathroom, slamming the door. I sat on the edge of the bathtub and cried my heart out. A few minutes later the door opened and he came in. He sat down next to me and put his arm around me, holding me as I cried. He got up to get me some tissues and then sat down again.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you."

I looked up into his eyes they were full of tears and emotion. "Will you tell me about her?"

"Yes, I will you about her and anything else you want to know."

"Let me pull myself together and I will be right out, okay?"

He then left me alone. I splashed some cold water on my face. When I opened the door I found him sitting on the loveseat with his feet up on the coffee table. He had ordered some wine and poured some into two glass; handing one to me. I sat down next to him with one leg crossed under me. He was so quiet as he his eyes were so potent as he stared at me and then he began to speak. "Annalie, I want you to know I would never hurt you, but there are some things I haven't told you and I think it is time that I did."

"I'm listening."

"Her name is Mandy and we met 4 years ago…while I was married."

"Oh my god! I was right!" I got up and moved around the room feeling restless. "Why didn't you tell me you were married?"

"Annalie, please sit down."

I sat down on the chair across from him. I folded my arms cross my chest.

"I am not married. My wife died 4 years ago.

"How did she die?"

"She was involved in a car accident on her way to her doctors' appointment. She was 5 months pregnant at the time."

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry." I trembled as tears filled my eyes again. "Did she know out about your affair?"

"No, she didn't know. We had a fight and I came down to St. Thomas for a few days and that was when I met Mandy. I returned home and discovered she was in the hospital. She died from head injuries."

"You had the affair while she was pregnant?"

He leaned forward resting his elbows on his knees and then covered his face with his hands. "Yes." He then looked at me. "Okay I am not perfect."

"Didn't you love her?"

"I did at one time. I think we got married too young. I was more interested in getting my law degree and getting my law firm established then spending time with her."

"But what about the baby, she was carrying?"

"Damn it!" Ricardo got up and walked around the room. "I felt guilty…if I hadn't been gone…my son would be alive today."

"How do you feel about this Mandy?"

"I was depressed and so I went back to Mandy, but it was only for sex."

"So, she's a prostitute?"

"Yes, that was all she was to me."

"So, how do I know you won't do that to me? You know that is what Daniel did to me. On our wedding night we had a fight and left me alone. I was a virgin and he never gave me a chance."

"Yes, I know and I am sorry." Ricardo then came back over to me. He squatted down in front of me. Looking up into my eyes and took my hand into his as he spoke, "I love you and I know it will be difficult for you to trust me, after what I just told you. At this moment I am frightened of my feelings for you. I don't want to lose you."

I laid my head back staring at him not knowing what to say. Everything was spinning around inside my head. My emotions were out of control as I got up from the chair and went back into the bathroom. My tears started to flow the moment I closed the door and locked it. I just needed some time to think about this and wondering how I really felt. Fear knotted inside my stomach. My heart ached for him. I went over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror. Thinking about how he holds me against his strong body and oh his kisses. I sighed as this warm glow came over my body. I knew there was something special about him since the day we met, but was I ready to forgive him? I backed away from the mirror and headed for the door. When I opened the door he was sitting on the loveseat with his head resting on the cushion. I walked over to him and sat down. I touched his hand with mine as he raised his head up. With a gentle tug he pulled down into his arms. I sighed as he held me tight. I listened to his heartbeat and drifted off to sleep.

We arrived back at Chaney Bay Resort the next afternoon after spending another day on the yacht. I had spent most of my time in the living quarters of the yacht sleeping. Ricardo woke me with a kiss on my cheek. I opened my eyes and he was sitting on the bed next to me.

"Where are we?"

"We are in Christiansted."

"We are? Already?"

"Yes."

"What were you doing while I was sleeping?"

"I was here…with you."

"You were?"

"Yes, I was."

"Why didn't you wake me?"

"I loved watching you sleep." His mouth then covered mine with a long sensuous kiss. He then pulled away and got up off the bed.

"Where are you going?" I watched him with anticipation, aching for fulfillment. He unbuttoned his colorful tropical shirt and then removed his shorts. I gasped at the sight of his beautiful body as he came back over to me. "Are we alone?"

"Yes." He crawled into bed lying next to me.

"Where did everyone go?"

"Well, David and Michelle went back to the resort and the Captain…we don't need him anymore." He then covered my mouth with total domination. His lips burned against mine. Forcing my lips apart with his tongue. I gave myself freely returning his kiss with a passion of my own. I wasn't going to be afraid of him this time as my body ached with desire. His tongue encircled my erected nipples and then explored every inch of my body with his hands. He left a trail of kisses down my stomach and then to my thighs. I gasped in agony the moment he touched my clitoris with his fingers. I closed my eyes as his tongue tortured my swollen bud and then tasted the sweet divine nectar that flowed from within me. Moments later my body seemed to explode as if a bomb went off inside me, giving me several intense orgasms. His lips returned to mine as he hungrily devoured mine. A moan of ecstasy escaped from my lips as he finally took me as his. His hardness electrified me as he began to move inside of me. He had awakened the fire that was smoldering deep inside of me as I met his thrust again and again. The hot rage of passion consumed both of us. My body began to tremble as I cried out in sweet agony. This warm tingly sensation took over my body and consumed me with delight as my body shuddered from the intensity of the orgasms. A few seconds later he cried out as his own orgasm took over his body. I held him as the pleasure and satisfaction swept through both of us.

Ricardo dropped me off at the resort so I could get my things, since I would be spending the rest of my vacation with him. For the next few days Ricardo and I would walk or sometimes drive down to the resort and join Michelle and David. We would go horseback riding, biking, sailing, playing tennis and so much more. The last week went by fast and I knew I had to face the fact it was time to head back home. Ricardo and I spent the last day of our vacation alone just lying in a hammock that was strung between two palm trees.

"Are you ready to go back home?" Ricardo softly said as his fingers combed through my hair.

"No…I want to stay here forever."

"Well, I need to get back to work so I can pay for this vacation. Besides we will come back…maybe for our honeymoon."

I looked up at him. "No, I don't want to talk about that."

"Why not?"

"I like things the way they are at the moment."

"I love being here with you."

"Me too!" I kissed his lips as I stuck my hand inside his shorts. "Let's go make love."

"No, not right now. I just want to lay here until it's time to go to the pig roast, okay?"

"Yes."

We stopped talking for a while and just enjoyed the peacefulness of the afternoon. Later in the evening we went down to the resort to join David and Michelle; it would be our last dinner together on the island. It was Saturday night and they had a pig roast. The event was called the Caribbean Kaleidoscope. There was lots of food and entertainment. It was a great way to end our stay here in St. Croix. Michelle told me that she was staying in St. Croix with David. I was so happy for her.

We finally made it home after a long flight. Luckily I slept most of the way. I was exhausted from being up all night making love to Ricardo. We rode a shuttle out to the parking lot where his car was parked. He walked towards a silver Lexus. He opened the car door for me and allowed me to get in. He closed the door and walked around to get in on his side. "Are you coming home with me?" he asked as he put the key into the ignition.

I sat there thinking about it as I looked away from him and stared out the window. "Would you be mad if I wanted to go to my home?"

"No. Why would you think I would be angry?"

"I don't know. I just want to spend some time alone."

"Sure."

He then started the car and drove me to my apartment. He walked me to my door. He pulled me into his arms holding me snugly against him. He then looked deeply into my eyes as his lips met mine. He gave me a deep sensual kiss that sent flow of desire through me. We broke apart when we heard voices coming up the sidewalk behind us. He started to back away from me but, but I wasn't ready to let go yet. "Would you like to come in?" I looked around and realized that my neighbor, Mrs. Johnson was watching us.

"If you want me to."

"Yes, of course." I quickly unlocked the door and opened it. I went in and turned on some lights. He came in and sat my suitcase down on the floor next to the sofa. Then my cats came running to greet me and jumped up on the top of the sofa. "These are my cats, Toby and Bailey. This is one reason I wanted to come home. Do you like cats?"

"Yes, I like cats." He then picked one up and scratched his ear making it purr. He then sat the cat back down on the sofa and came towards me. He backed me up against the wall. "I want to make you purr," he groaned as he captured my mouth with a hot fiery kiss. He raised his head and whispered, "Where is your bedroom?"

I led him to my bedroom. I opened the door and discovered the room was a mess as I knocked things off the bed. "Close the door, unless you want my cats joining us?" My body ached for his touch as he reached under my dress and removed my panties. He then pulled my sundress over my head and pushed me down onto the bed as his hands, mouth and tongue explored my body. He stood up to remove his clothes and then I inhaled deeply as he lowered his body over mine. He took as he had so many times this past week. We found the tempo that bound both of our bodies together, becoming as one. He fucked me as I soared to an incredible, shuddering ecstasy. I gripped the sheet as several intense orgasms claimed my body. The pleasure was pure and explosive. Ricardo groaned as he finally came and we lay together. The feeling of peace and happiness flowed between us.

He rolled over onto his back and said, "I need to be heading home." He then got up and got dressed. "I will call you tomorrow…okay?"

"Yes." I was feeling sad as I put my clothes back on and then walked him to his car.

He took me into his arms and said, "I love you." He softly kissed me as he released me and got into his car and drove away. I let out a big sigh and started to cry. I missed him already. I went back in, fed my cats and went to bed.
