Shot through the Heart Merida

David couldn’t recall the last night he’d felt that much bliss and passion while being with someone else. Fingers were tangled in hair, limbs tangled with limbs. Breathless words were shared in the bubble they’d put themselves in. When it was all said and done, David’s bare chest was covered in a thin sheen of sweat. Pressing a kiss to her temple, the man hummed in content. “Well, I can say I’ve properly laid with fire and didn’t come back burned.” 

Merida had never had a night like this. Feeling as if she may have had probably the best night of her life. David was a whole different kind of man, she had never been treated this way. Merida wiped her brow before he could kiss it, causing a small bubble of laughter to escape her lips. “Mhhmm and I’ve had my taste of the southern seas. Not as salty as I would have thought.” Teasing him slightly.

David looked up at her, adoration glowing bright in his eyes. The kiss was harder than he had expected, but he returned it with the same amount of passion. “If…if you don’t want this, just tell me…” He murmured, kissing her lips once more. He didn’t want to stop, that was certainly clear. But if she wanted to, he would respect that. With relative ease, David slowly stood from the bed, strong hands keeping her firmly in place as he turned them around. Laying Merida carefully back on the bed, he kissed her once more.

Merida didn’t know what had come over her. Maybe it was the room, maybe it was the drink, or it could have just been David. It felt like he saw her as an equal. That had never happened in her life. She was surprised by his gentle words, kissing him back she smiled that soft smile again. “I don’t want to stop.” her voice soft. A soft chuckle escaped her lips when he picked her up, her back now finding the soft bed under it. Her hands moved from his hair, one slipping down to his shoulder and over resting on his cheek as he kissed her. Merida wasn’t used to being treated so kindly but it did feel intoxicating.

“I’m thinking, what $100 per half hour, per person?” David teased, still peppering kisses along her jaw, starting to trail them down her neck. This woman was certainly intoxicating, everything about her screamed power and sex appeal. He wondered if she could feel his heart racing against his ribs. If she could feel the affect she was having on him. A sort of primal growl boiled up from his chest when she tugged on his hair, pupils dilating on cue. “Well, aside from surfing, I do play with fire as a hobby, so I think I’ll be just fine.” 

“Hmm I guess that does sound fair, there are enough people we could really cash out.” She laughed but his kisses were distracting. Merida was having a hard time focusing on anything other then his strong fingers in her hair and on her waist. He just made her feel delicate but not breakable. Her chest was pressed right up against his but all she could feel was her own pulse racing a mile a minute. Smirking she couldn’t hold herself back any longer, pressing her lips against his roughly, “I guess we will just have to find out about that wont we?”

“I’ve found some other rather, secluded spots around the island and the villa. I’ll just have to show you later.” Pressing a kiss to her cheek and down along her jaw, David chuckled. “Certainly no regrets, at least not after the fact.” Even if it was brief, David enjoyed the smile he’d brought to her lips, he’d find someway to bring it back again. “Yeah, I’m not sleeping with someone in the rooms upstairs. That’s just asking for blackmail.” Making another move, David sat up rather quickly. One arm wrapping firmly around her waist, the other staying locked in her hair. “You think I’m brave? That’s cute. I’m also just real used to playing with fire.”

“I wouldn’t mind that at all.” Merida was a person who did like being around people, but she also required sometime on her own to recharge. But she also wouldn’t mind taking David to hide along with her. Her head tilted along with his kisses, it was intoxicating. He wasn’t anything like the men she had been forced to deal with. David was on a whole different level of fun, sex, and strength. “That and asking for more people to get a free show. At least charge them first.” She winked teasing of course. Merida was all down for a thrill but porn just wasn’t really for her. She groaned her legs sitting on either side on his waist, griping his hair a little tighter forcing him to look up at her. “That I do Lad, playing with fire is dangerous, not many can do it and get away.”

Licking at his lips, most coherent thought had fled from his head. Rolling over he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling over and ontop of him. “You know, if you keep doing that, you’re gonna make me do something I might regret.” He growled softly, tilting his head from side to side to try and get her to scratch a certain spot. “Oh, I was able to find a pretty good place last night. As for getting caught, that just make its more fun doesn’t it? The thrill of being found out?” Hands running up her back, let them sink into her fiery red curls. “And here I thought your hair was made of actual fire.”

Merida squealed a bit in surprise to his movements, but laughed as she rested on his chest. She hadn’t seen that coming, but it was a nice surprise. “Are you sure you’d regret it?” Her statement came out in a pur, moving one hand to where he was indicating before letting the over reach up on the other side. David reminded her of a big cuddly cub that wanted to be pet. It brought a soft smile to her face, not one she let others see often. Although the mention of his fun with Sebastian did cause it to leave as suddenly as it came. “It does bring some thrill to it, I wouldn’t try it in the upstairs rooms while everyone is there. That is just straight up being caught.” The moment his fingers sank into her curls, Merida’s head rolled back with a slight moan. “Brave man, they could’ve been.”

If David was a sucker for anything, it was when people played with his hair. She may not have done much yet, but the large Hawaiian man almost instantly turned into a puddle of goo. Inching a bit closer to her, David tried his best to continue conversation. “Well, I mean, how high stakes is it gonna get? We didn’t check the bathroom or bedside table for condoms. Maybe this is all just a ploy to get us to have sex.” He teased. 

Merida smirked a bit when he inched closer to her, people plying with her hair was also a weakness. She didn’t think much of it at the time, all she really wanted to do was touch his soft looking hair. But now she was glad to have done it, moving her fingers softly through his hair. “Oh it absolutely is a ploy to get us to have sex, otherwise the bed wouldn’t be this soft.” Chuckling she moved her face towards his ear, “it’s also a private room, really the only place to have sex without getting caught.” she whispered.

“Baxter is a pretty cool kid.” He said with a smirk. “Well that’s good for Ian though, especially if he’s as shut up inside himself as you say.” Taking a pause, David looked around the room. “So, why can’t they just make all the rooms like this one? I mean, I get its supposed to be a special treat but, I’d kill for a bed like this back at the villa.” Laying fully on his back, hair spreading out behind his head, he let out a long sigh. 

“I’ve spoken with him briefly but not much as of yet.” Merida nodded, “Its nice to see that there does seem to be someone here for everyone.” Shifting in the bed, she got more comfortable. He did have a point this bed was super nice, “Probably to put us in a high stakes situation. See if we can handle the pressure or not.” Rolling over onto her stomach reaching over to mess with his hair a bit. “What a treat.” The red head murmured softly.

“Gonna be honest with ya, I didn’t know we had someone named Ian on the island. Phillip I do remember, mostly because I found him dancing in a Santa hat on the pool deck.” He recalled with a smirk. Sipping at the champagne, he made a bit of a face before setting the glass down on the night stand. “I take it the Ian kid is a bit of a shut in? Or just really shy, I guess?” 

“Funny that is how I met Phillip as well. Ian is Baxter’s younger brother. I met him when he first got here, he is very quiet but I think Phillip can bring him out a bit more.” Nodding softly she smiled. “yes he is but he always is very sweet and a good person to have a conversation with.” Merida sipped on her drink once more before laying down on the bed a bit.

Walking back over to her, he knelt slightly on the bed holding out the glass to her. “Really? Who was on it?” He asked lifting a brow. Not that he really cared, but he was making polite conversation? What conversation could be really made while being on the island. More delving into secrets of the past? David didn’t really have too many, its was more his recent present that was posing the issue.

Merida gratefully took the glass from him smiling a bit. He was easy to talk to, it was nice, it didn’t feel like he was pressuring her, A huge change of pace, “Phillip and Ian.” She smirked a bit sipping the drink. Honestly she was excited about Ian finding someone to make him melt the way she had seen. “It was pretty adorable and Phillip’s outlandish behavior is perfect for getting Ian out of his bubble of protection.”

Rolling up to a sitting position, David swung his feet over the edge of the bed. “I’m not gonna lie to you about that.” He said with a chuckle. “But, if you feel the need to question it, I’m not gonna stop you.” Walking over to where the champagne still sat in a bucket he proceeded to pop the bottle and pour themselves a glass. “It was really warm out there. Coupling with the fact that I was very drunk, just made it easier to curl up and fall asleep.”

Merida sat up on the bed pulling her feet underneath her. Silently smacking herself for opening her big mouth. Her own insecurities were getting the best of her. She really needed to relax and just have fun. Nodding, “It was a really nice night, I thought about falling asleep on one of the day beds. But then it was taken by some people.”

“I’m sure you’re not gonna walk out of here disappointed. Amazing girl like you, should have her pick of anyone in this place.” Chewing at his lower lip, he let a warm smile spread across his lips. Reaching out, he twisted one of her red curls around his finger. “Well, I certainly like us together.” He admitted with a smile. Sure, the Cinco party had been an interesting night. Even if he hadn’t been able to keep his promise about ending up back in her bed. “I should apologize about the party though. I had planned on coming back to bed, but I sort of just passed out on one of the lounges outside.” 

Merida shrugged, she wished she could believe his statement. But past experiences won out that war in her head, “One could hope.” Clearly moving away from that subject. Her breath stopped for a moment as her eyes watched his finger twist the curl. “You do?” The question was quiet before a small light blush crept onto her face, “You just said it, so of course you do, ignore my question.”  She stumbled out rather quickly. Who wouldn’t find him attractive but she liked his personality as well. Just calm, relaxed and kind. Chuckling a bit she smiled, “It’s alright I figured that might happen, plus it was a nice warm night.” She wasn’t completely surprised he didn’t end back up in bed.

“I wouldn’t let anything hurt you.” He said with a confirming nod. “But, we can head back in, I’m sure this won’t be the last time I’ll get you in the water.” Arms extended out to his sides, he started to start paddling back to the shore. “Do you need help getting back to shore?” He asked from a few feet away. 

Merida smirked a bit, “I would hope not, but one can never be too weary.” Sighing she flips onto her stomach from her back. “That is a fair point since you did offer to teach me to surf, I’m holding you to it.” She followed him was ease smiling brightly, “No I can do it myself, thank you for the offer though.”

“I’m not even worried about being silly anymore. I came on a dating show, I’m sure I’ll look silly regardless of what happens.” Stretching out on the bed, he let out a long sigh. “Not to say that it’s a bad thing, I mean we all knew what we were getting into coming on this show.” Tucking a hand behind his head, he looked over at her. “So, kinda cool that we ended up winning this huh?”

He did had a point, was it completely ridiculous to come on a dating show. But when you can’t find men around who look passed normal beauty standards you only have so many choices. “That is far, I’m fully prepared to walk out of here disappointed if it so arises.” Merida would be devastated of course but she would hold her head high and act like it wasn’t killing her inside. The silence while her thoughts raced must have been a minute too long before she snapped back to the task at hand. “Hopefully that means they like us together?” Her curls a mess from flopping around on the bed.

“Well, I’m assuming we’re all supposed to have dinner together? So probably soon?” He felt comfortable taking to Merida. She wasn’t like other women he’d met. Certainly not like any of the other women that were on the island. But, perhaps that was a good thing. “I’m perfectly content to spend a lot of time out here though. Being on the waves at night is a really cool experience. Unless, you’re afraid of the dark.” He teased with a wiggle of his brows. 

“I suppose that is true.” Merida was rather content here and didn’t mind missing dinner with everyone else. At least right now, maybe they could make leftovers. Her mind really didn’t care right now. She was enjoying herself which was more then she could say with a large, family dinner. Turning to him she smirked and laughed, “I’ve faced things far scarier then the dark. I’ve just heard that surfing in the dark is dangerous.” Laughing a bit, “Although again I’m not one to shy away from a little danger either.”

David watched on with pride as she jumped onto the bed, sending the neatly placed flower petals into the air. “Oh, no I couldn’t…it wouldn’t be- watch out!” He yelled, running at almost full speed from the other side of the room and launching himself onto the bed. The laughter that filled the room was infectious, placing a hand over his stomach as it continued. “God, that was fun.” He said with a chuckle.

Merida had always had a childlike behavior that her parents chastised her for, not that it ever saved herself. When he yelled to watch out she rolled over giving him room to hit the bed safely. As he hit the bed, it caused her to bounce up a little bit and back onto the bed. Only forcing her to laugh more. Her crystal blue eyes looked over at him, “Sure was, and worth it even if it did look rather silly.” She smiled at him.

“Feeling the waves honestly is more fun sometimes anyway.” Laying flat on his stomach on his board, David chuckled a bit. His chuckle turned to a bright laugh at her comment. “I mean, meat is pretty good. Roasted, pan seared, put in a stew, it’s all delicious.” Shaking his head, David let his gaze linger on the horizon. “We came out here at a great time, the sun is about to set.”

Merida laid backwards her feet skimming across the water. This was the most relaxed she had felt in a long time, “It’s very relaxing.” The red head thought she would be more worried about drowning or anything else but she felt at ease. “Probably my favorite dish ever.” She smiled using her elbows a bit, looking out to the horizon. “It is beautiful, how much longer before we have to rejoin the others?” She couldn’t help but think about it, sunset means darkness approached.

It was taking everything in David to not run and jump on the bed. It looked far more comfortable then the ones they had been sleeping on. Running his fingers through his hair, David chuckled softly. “That’s for damn sure..” He hummed. He certainly hadn’t expected to be here with Merida, though he certainly wasn’t upset about it. “I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated the fact that my bedroom at home has a door before coming here.” Rubbing a hand across the back of his neck, he padded over toward the champagne bottle. “Want a drink?”

Merida had a similar thought, it was so tempting. Almost too tempting although David’s voice asking if she wanted a drink, her focus drifted to him. “That sounds lovely, but first...” She paused running and jumping onto the bed laughing bubbly. “You are more the welcome to join me.” She said still laughing.
