Chapter 9

Gia winced as the bright sun shone through the thin curtains striking her directly in the face. She slowly opened her eyes  , her mind filled with momentary confusion as she gazed hazily around the room . The memories of the night before slowly returned bringing a smile to her face.

She turned to face the person whose arm had her trapped into place . shifting a bit, she took her hand and gently brushed a stray hair out of his face. God last night was mindblowing to say the least -- though there was something about him that could have her fall so deep and so fast.  Whoa Gianna! Where the hell did that thought come from? she pulled back,shocked her mind could even entertain such a thought.

Jon wrinkled his nose and groaned a bit before opening his eyes. His vision was cloudy but his mind wasn’t, She was still there pressed against him warm and soft. Strange waking up like that. It had been a long long time, while he certain didn’t lack bed partners, it usually ended soon after the climax with either him politely taking his leave, or with the girl being shown the door. Not so last night. They hadn’t been able to keep their hands off each other long for either one of them to find an out. They had passed out all sweaty and tangled somewhere near day break.

“Mornin’” he whispered, in a dry voice.

“Mornin’ yourself “ Gia smiled wincing just a bit , her muscles screaming in protest from workout that ended just a few hours ago.

Jon dropped a kiss on her nose then rolled out of bed unashamed of his nakedness he tossed a grin over his shoulder as he dropped the blinds to give their eyes a bit of relief from the glare. “So, I was thinkin’, “ he said moving to the kitchenette and going through the motions of coffee brewing. “I got absolutely nothing planned for the day, if you ain't got nothing doing either, why don’t we find some kinda trouble to get into together?” His face looked calm and collected, but inside he awaited her answer nervously. He really wasn’t looking for much more than a vacation fling but even so, he didn’t want this to be just a wham bam see ya later thing either. Gia was too nice for that. Too nice for a guy like him.

Gia’s eyes followed him in all his naked glory ,as she unconsciously licked her lips. “Sure , trouble is my middle name “ she grinned then slid from the bed , with the blinds down she didn’t bother with a cover either , walking up behind him and near his ear she whispered seductively   “What do you have in mind ? “   her arms slid around his waist pulling him close and resting her hands slightly above his very apparent mornin’ wood.  “Lots of things we could do here in Jamaica “

He groaned at her nearness, it was crazy the way her simple movement made him instantly erect. He smirked down at his saluting soldier then turned to plant a thorough kiss on her swollen lips. “Hell girl, you make me not even wanna leave the room ya know.”

Gia smiled her arms slipping around his neck , fingers playing with the long soft tresses . “I know the feelin’ but if we do , neither of us will be able to walk for the rest of the vacation “ she winked , Damn what was it about this man , that made her crave more,  They say sex could be an addiction , was it possible to be addicted to one man ?

Jon chuckled. She was right, as much as he’d love to throw her down and have his way yet again, he knew he better not, at least not right that instant. “well, I got a whole shitload of pamphlet thangs over there with all sorts of crap to do around this place.” He pulled himself reluctantly away from her smooth naked body and laced his fingers with hers, guiding her back to the bed. He leaned over and picked up a stack of tourist information and spread it out on the bed in front of them. “Why don’t we see what peaks our interest hmm?”

Gia leaned closer , gazing over the plethora of pamphlets on the bed “ Skydiving , nope , Horseback Riding? “ She shot him a glance  ‘Deep sea diving ? Sailing ?  Wait how’s about this one “ She handed a the one on Deep Sea fishing  “Do you fish ? “ then noticing the devilish twinkle appear in his eyes “ Not that kind of fishing . I already know you can do that -- in fact very well ‘

He laughed “Deep sea fishing?” He leaned over to look at the pamphlet. He furrowed his brows, “I’m not really the fishin’ type” He shook his head then shrugged “Ah what the hell! why not? what’s the worst that could happen? I bait a shark and it pulls me in?”

" Well there’s the nude beach ? Na we would get arrested cause we couldn’t just stay naked and not do anything “ She teased “ So deep sea fishing it is , could be quite interesting “

“I have a feeling it will be”

Jon had never spoke words so true. Interesting was an understatement. They’d been out for two hours now, the sea was gleaming clear blue, even though it was warm, a brisk wind blew. He watched as Gia reeled in yet another fish and frowned at  his own line. The guide they’d hired to drive the boat and show them the ropes chuckled at Jon’s distress. When Jon asked what he was doin wrong the man merely shrugged and said “Some people are just naturals”

He grumbled a bit under his breath and had to grin when Gia shrieked at the fish flopping at her feet.

Gia was having a great time and glad they decided to do this, but what had her laughing the most was Jon’s absolute frustration  He doesn't like to not lose at anything apparently she thought giggling to herself.  The fish she had been reeling in had been relatively small so they hadn’t bothered her until she got a huge tug and though  with all her strength it still wasn’t enough to reel this bad boy in , the guide had to help her.

Gia's eyes darted momentarily over at Jon.  Was he jealous? why the fuck would he be jealous for ? What reason would he have to be? Sure the guide had his arms around her waist but not in an perverted way but for some reason it was driving Jon mad.  Her attention quickly turned back to the fish , they struggled for a few more moments to bring in and it came flying to land on the deck mere inches from Gia’s feet , flopping ever so closer to her , she let out a squeal then jumped back into Jon.


“It ain’t gonna bite babe.” he laughed.

“No but its so-- icky “ Gia grimaced.  “Here let it get near you and see if you don't jump too“ She shivered, still leaning against Jon.  “It could be one that bites  never know .”

“Uh no thanks.” Jon laughed and slipped his arms around her waist. He pulled her back against him and they both watched as the guide tossed her catch back over the railing and gave her a thumbs up. Pointing towards the horizon he said, “Looks like a squall headed this way, I think we should head back to shore.”

Jon nodded, as fun as it had been being out on the open water today, no one hounding him for anything, no calls for interviews or technical problems to deal with, A beautiful girl here by his side, he’d seriously had enough of the wild seas. He closed his eyes and leaned his head back to catch the rays still peeking thru the grey clouds. They’d go back to suite, order up some food, some wine, maybe sit out on the balcony and have dinner. He opened his eyes and looked at the quickly darkening horizon. If the weather held out that was.

Gia cuddled up close, that was  enough of fishing for one day,  she muttered to herself then peaked up at the ever darkening sky “Are we gonna make it back in time ? “ a tint of worry sliced through her voice .  It had been a near perfect day other than her run in with a 20 lb whatever the fish she caught was .  Grasping tightly to Jon something in her gut told her this squall was gonna be nasty and she prayed they would make it to shore before it hit .

“It’s ok baby, see.” he gave her a reassuring hug. “ The docks are right there.” he pointed. He made sure to keep his sigh of relief mental. For a moment he’d begun to worry too.

The boat docked , the guide tied it to the post  “Better hurry folks , its gonna hit any second now , hope you both had a great time “

Gia quickly jumped up , grabbing her bag  “Yes we did , thank you  “ she made her way down the plank , stepping on the dock to await Jon , taking his hand they briskly walked back to the hotel.

Just as they stepped through the hotel door , the sky opened up and the rain came.
