you’re injured!”
“That’s nothing. And one more scar won’t be noticeable.”
She sobbed and he cradled her like a small child.
“Everything’s going to be alright. There, there. Everything’s going to be alright.”
He kissed her – at first very gently, then with consuming passion.
“Ramon, I need you,” she sobbed and pressed into him. “Please!” she begged, with tears in her eyes.
Ramon let go of her and closed his eyes. He breathed out deeply and then he looked at her seriously.
“Crissy. I specifically told you not to go near the edge. It nearly cost you your life, and mine, too. We’ve lost a rucksack containing important things.”
“I know,” she sobbed. “And I’m sorry. I promise to do exactly as you say from now on.”
“Crissy. I’m going to punish you for doing that.”
She did not dare look at him.
“Are you going to beat me?” she asked, her heart beating quickly.
“No! I don’t hit women,” he said gently. “But I will punish you.”
He pulled her to him and kissed her again. He slowly put her down onto the soft ground and pulled down her trousers, spread her legs and began to pleasure her with his lips and his tongue. She thrashed about, gasping under his skilful caress.
“Ramon,” she whispered hoarsely. “Don’t stop.”
He took her higher and higher, until she was about to orgasm, then he suddenly moved away from her, breathing deeply, and looked down at her with a mixture of desire and sternness.
“That’s your punishment, Crissy – I’m denying you satisfaction.”
“No,” she whispered. “I’d prefer you to put me over your knee for what I’ve done than leave me lying here like this. I need you.”
He jumped up and turned away. His breathing was heavy and Crissy had seen the bulge in his trousers very clearly. He was punishing himself as much as her.
“If you don’t want to relieve me, then I’ll have to do it myself,” she whispered. “Look at me.”
To her surprise he actually turned round and, spellbound, watched her performance. She had put her hand on her womanhood and was now rubbing her pearl in search of relief.
She could tell that he was battling with himself. He had clenched his fists. His whole body was tense and his expression drenched in passion.
“You could help me,” she said quietly and enticingly.
She enjoyed seeing how aroused he was. He had set the rules of the game, but at the moment it looked as if she was about to take control of the game. She was sure that he would give in.
“You see, Ramon. I don’t need you for this,” she challenged him boldly.
With a wild roar he jumped onto her and got rid of his trousers in a second. He entered between her legs and took her with a powerful thrust.
“Oh, you do, you do need me,” he panted angrily. “It’s not the same if you do it yourself. Only I can make you scream! You belong to me!”
I won , thought Crissy triumphantly, as tears of happiness ran down her cheeks and waves of ecstasy ran through her body.

They lay there, tightly wrapped around one another. Their sweat had mixed with blood and tears. Crissy’s heart was pounding in her ears so loudly that she could hear nothing else. Her thoughts came thick and fast, as did her heartbeats. Whatever had become of her peaceful life? First she had to watch as her brother-in-law-to-be killed an innocent child, then she was left to be eaten by alligators, rescued by a combination of Rambo and The Beast , dragged away, made love to, chased through the swamp and, for good measure, once again nearly eaten by an alligator. The most perplexing thing was that she had never been so happy. With Ramon she felt alive as never before.
He let go of her a little and looked at her.
“Are you happy now?” he murmured darkly.
She smiled and nodded.
“You won’t always get your way, Crissy.”
“Maybe not,” she said, unconcerned. “But you need me just as much as I need you. Deny it!”
A faint smile
