The girls were up early, starting breakfast while the guys still slept after their reunion. At the same time, they waited for the rest to wake up so they could finish breakfast. The ladies talked about their plans to go to Xavier's campsite."So, Charlize, do you plan on staying here with us? Are you, or are you going back to live with Xavier?" Tizzy teased, laughing, and the other ladies giggled."What kind of question is that, Tizzy? I'm not trying to have a boatload of babies in this situation." Charlize rolled her eyes at Tizzy; I'm coming back here with you girls.""Ha, ha, ha, ha,...Girl, I saw that man last night! Looking like melted caramel. You’d better not let him get within 10ft of you. Just looking at him too hard, you feel like you could get pregnant." Sonja said, laughing as she sprinkled water on herself playfully to cool down."Have you guys kissed yet?" Skye asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.Charlize responded, touching her lips with her finger and putting it on So
Much later that night, the men returned to the designated campsite to sleep. They couldn’t stop talking. They were all too excited to be together again. Seeing Charlize was amazing, too!"So Xavier, where have you been camping out here? This island is so huge." Diamante asked as everyone sprawled out, listening intently."It seems like about 5 miles or maybe more from here. But I live by the same stream, but it's more shallow on my end of the forest. So the fish is not as plentiful, but it has one of the tallest waterfalls by the mountainside I've ever seen.""Wow, a waterfall! I can't wait to take a shower there." Blaze excitedly exclaimed."Yes, you can also swim if you like. A deep pool of fresh water has gathered there under the mountain. It's refreshing and a great place to spend time with these nice young ladies. There seem to be more animals where I live. I've barely heard any howling since I've been here.""So you heard animals howling, Xavier? You weren't scared?" Diamante sa
Xavier, as a cartel leader, has seen and experienced some things. And there were only two events that made him tear up. The first was when Charlize was shot, and he had to save her. This was the second. He followed behind Charlize, holding her hand tightly for strength. Xavier didn't feel like himself. So much had occurred that was unlike anything he’d ever dealt with in his past lifestyle. He had been a man reduced to someone with emotions and feelings.He could not believe he had begun to tear up again and hold a female's hand for support. He shook his head, overcome with emotions, looking at his hand gripping Charlize's for comfort. He had never grieved the way he did here on Sheer Drop Island. The thought of losing his friends and thinking he would be alone here on this island, hiding for the rest of his life, must have been too much to bear. Pleasure Paradise is his home and his friends’ home. But now, all of that has changed in the twinkling of an eye!Then, when they walked fro
He sighs... “I'm listening; it's just that I can't believe this. I'm sorry, go ahead.”“Trust me...I understand; I promise you won't be mad at me when I tell you this.”Xavier smiled with a confused look on his face. “Why would I be mad at you?” He said with sweet sincerity in his tone.“Please, I need you to listen carefully and stay calm. What I'm about to tell you, Xavier, happened.....before I discovered you. Okay?” Xavier nodded his head in agreement as he was barely able to contain himself.“My friends and I were walking early one morning on the beach. It hadn't even become daylight yet. We were trying to figure out how to let the next helicopter know someone was here on Sheer Drop. And about a half mile down the beach, we found...Charlize paused, just staring at Xavier with those concerned eyes.“What did you find?!”“We found...Blaze and Diamante.”First, the shock made Xavier rear back as his eyes widened; then a red tint entered them, and tears immediately followed. Finally,
Xavier stood looking out at the small opening in his tree house that served as a window. He was delighted to see the high mountainside of Sheer Drop. He inhaled a deep breath of fresh air into his lungs. He was learning to be content with his no-frills lifestyle and circumstances.He looked back at the inside of his tree house, which made him proud of his small, uncomplicated accomplishment. No, it didn't have running water, electricity, a TV, an internet connection, or any modern conveniences most people took for granted. Even Pleasure Paradise has some electricity for television and a limited internet connection. But Sheer Drop wasn’t developed at all.Xavier was honestly just happy to have a roof over his head and somewhere to sleep that kept him out of danger. He was alive, and he was happy to be.It had been several weeks since the last time Xavier saw Charlize after that very passionate kiss. The first few days he spent worrying were five days and nights.If he could wish for so
He wasn't sure what he intended to do, only that he had to be near her.“What are you staring at?” Charlize flicked her long brown lashes up at him with a small smile. Xavier tilted his head slightly to the side, giving her a sexy stare.At this point, Charlize felt her blood get a few degrees hotter as she tried to gauge his intentions. And what were his intentions exactly? Charlize attempted to decipher the stare he held.“How did you get here? Xavier asked in a low tone.Charlize laughed, perhaps as startled by his bluntness as he was. “I'm stranded just like you. I'm from the U.S.A.” She hesitated briefly. “And you?”He remained silent, unable to answer, as the heady scents of crushed flowers, fermented grapes, and sweat filled his nostrils and made his blood rush through his veins.Charlize loved how she was getting to know him. She regarded him curiously, tilting her head to the side. “You must be from?”“I'm from Jamaica. I lived in the country of Mexico.”“I'm from the State o
