Chapter Eleven
A week later…
Rubbing her tired eyes, Keira glanced at the bedside clock, groaning at the fact that it was just after 6am and she already needed to get herself out of bed. Dragging herself into the shower, she quickly washed herself before hopping out and dressing in a pair of loose-fitting flared sweatpants and a T-shirt. Zipping a sweatshirt up, she pulled her wet hair into a ponytail and headed towards the elevator.
Stepping inside, a familiar smile caught her eye immediately. “Morning sleepyhead.” He chuckled, noting her adorable tired expression as she stuck her tongue out at him.
“Why are you so chipper at this hour?”
“Keir, come on! It’s our last action scene of this movie! This is so exciting!”
“It would be much more exciting if it was…hmmm around noon?”
“I’m sure you’ll wake up and be chipper once we get there and start filming…”
“Mm-Hmm.” She murmured, her eyes closed as she leaned back against the elevator wall.
Later…
“Wow today was amazing!” Orlando smiled, adrenaline pumping through his veins as he shook his wet curls at Keira in the confines of the small elevator.
“It was!” She giggled, springing into his arms as he pulled her into a tight, joyful embrace.
“God Keira! This is crazy! We are almost finished with the third movie!” He smiled, taking in the scent of her perfume as he hugged her tiny body against his.
“You just now figured that out? We‘ve been here for about a month!!” She laughed into his embrace as water droplets spilled from his hair and down her arms. “You’re dripping on me!”
“At least I’m not all sweaty and smelly anymore…Thank God they had those showers all ready for us…”
“Yeah… It was getting mighty smelly in that practice room, but now, with you all showered, that problem is gone.”
“I’m sure I was the only stink one…” He teased, tugging at her wet hair. “You look rather refreshed yourself…”
“And we don’t have any more shoots ‘til late tomorrow! It’s my lucky day! I get to swashbuckle and can sleep late tomorrow! WooHoo!”
“That’s because we are going to be so sore tomorrow.”
“Nah.”
“Oh yeah…I bet that you don’t know what hit you when you wake up tomorrow…”
“I can’t wait…” She giggled, as they made their way down the hall towards her hotel room. “You coming in?”
“Uhh…”
“No?”
“No…I umm…” He ran his fingers through his curls, wondering if he could control himself alone with Keira Knightley tonight. Yet, if she wanted to kiss him back, there’d be no harm in that. “Why not?”
“Good…You scared me for a second there Bloom.” She smiled looking over her shoulder as she toyed with the lock. “I thought you were going to ditch me.”
“Never.” He smiled, following her into the enormous suite. “Wow, this place is huge!”
“You just now noticed that?”
“Shut up!” He playfully grabed her hand, following her into her bedroom.
“What do you think I am Mr. Bloom?” She teased with her british accent becoming a bit more evident. “Didn’t your dear mother ever teach you not to follow a lady into her bedroom?”
“You’re a lady?!” He smiled, as she dramatically fell back onto the bed, one hand shielding her face.
“Sigh…Oh how you’ve scorned me!” She giggled.
“You are one sick puppy.”
“Now thou hath called me a mutt! Be scorned from my chamber and face eternal damnation with the fair maiden by the name of Jack Davenport!”
“What?”
“You heard me!” She stood up, pointing towards the door. “Be gone, oh great scruffy one!”
“Fine fair Madame, oh how can I ever make it up to thou most beautiful specimen?”
“Hmm…”
“Please dear Keira, speaketh so of how a mere mortal like myself can live to your honor…”
“This is too weird, I quit!” Keira chuckled, grimacing as she fell back on the bed. “Ooooh there’s that soreness you were talking about.”
“Told you…” He smiled sympathetically, taking a seat next to her. “I’m feeling it too.”
“Well, at least we’re achy together…” She smiled, nestling closer to him and laying her head on his shoulder.
“There’s no one else in this entire world I’d rather be achy with than you Miss Knightley.” He smiled, pressing his warm lips to her forehead. His warm hand soothingly massaged her back through the confines of her T-shirt and they sat together reveling in the quiet, a thought came to him. “Hey Keir?”
“Hmm?”
He bit his lip, a devilish gleam sparkling in his eye. “How’s that Jacuzzi in your bathroom?”
Glancing at herself in the full-length bathroom mirror, she let out an exaggerated sigh. The black bikini clung tightly to her every curve and she wondered if she was showing too much. Taking a deep steadying breath, she began digging through her suitcase for a different, more conservative bathing suit.
Smoothing down his curls with one hand as he adjusted his loose T-shirt, Orlando quietly slipped back into Keira’s suite, using his key card she had given him. Whistling softly, he could no longer control his jubilation at the prospect of spending some quality time with Keira…alone…half-naked…and in a hot tub…
“Keir, I’m back!” He yelled, slipping the chain lock into the door as he made his way back towards her bedroom. His breath caught in his throat at the sight of her, her back to him as she rummaged through the suitcase on the floor. Unable to garner up the correct words, he cleared his throat dramatically, to which she quickly turned around.
“Oh…wow that was quick…I didn’t hear you come back in…”
“Yeah sorry.” He smiled awkwardly, as she stood up to face him. Slowly, he allowed his eyes to travel down her body, taking in every last thing about the way the tiny top covered places his fingers longed to touch, while the bottom clung to her perfectly shaped hips and that amazing behind. “Wow…” He gasped, his eyes meeting hers again as a deep crimson shade filled her cheeks. “You…look…wow…”
Turning away for a second, she shrugged. “I was looking for a different bathing suit…”
“What for?” He asked, warmth invading his voice.
“Just didn’t think this one looked great…” She half-lied, trailing off as his warm hands landed on her bare shoulders from behind.
“It looks gorgeous.” She turned in his arms, offering him an enormous, genuine smile.
“Thank you.”
“The only thing that could possibly look better is if you decided that a bathing suit was completely unnecessary…” He smirked, raising an eyebrow playfully.
“Oh yeah…” She laughed sarcastically.
“Oh I’m dead serious.” He chuckled, his voice suddenly husky. “Plenty of men would kill to get in a Jacuzzi with a naked Keira Knightley…Hell, I think there are quite a few women who’d like to as well…”
“Orlando!” She giggled, the blush once again consuming her features.
“Come on Love, enough of this…There’s a hot tub calling our names.”
“This is nice…” He whispered, dropping his T-shirt to the floor as he climbed into the Jacuzzi across from Keira. Allowing the hot water to coast over his tired muscles, a satisfied groan escaped his lips. “Really nice.”
With his eyes closed and head tilted back, Orlando Bloom was the image of physical perfection. The moonlight cascading in through the drawn blinds cast just enough light over the small room to sparkle off the water and reflect in his deep brown eyes. His chiseled features looked even more defined as they gave way to his muscular neck, broad shoulders and gorgeous chest that disappeared beneath the warm water.
“Ooh I love this song!” Keira cheered, humming along as some obscure 80s hit danced out of the small stereo.
“You would!” Orlando chuckled, feeling her thigh brush against his beneath the water as they now sat side by side. Over the course of their light conversation and playful teasing, they had certainly shifted, and now as they sat, just barely touching, every tiny sensation seemed heightened.
He could smell her shampoo and feel the softness of her skin as she lightly bumped her shoulder against hers.
She could feel his deep, husky voice filling her ears as he chuckled at her dorkiness and the way his muscular hand occasionally cascaded over her neck to rub out some of the tension that loomed there.
“Just after midnight here in the Caribbean…” Came the voice of the DJ as the song came to an end.
“Wow, it’s late…” Orlando admitted reluctantly. “I totally better get going…”
“Already?” She asked, disappointed and reveling in their time together.
Lifting the palms of his hands out of the water, he studied them for a second before turning them to Keira. “If I stay in here much longer, I’m going to turn into a prune!”
“And you make a good point.” She smiled, looking at her own shriveled fingers.
Wordlessly, Orlando lifted himself out of the Jacuzzi, wrapping a towel around his torso and drying off his dripping skin. Biting her lip, Keira couldn’t help but study him in the dimly lit room. She watched the way the droplets of water dropped from his curls and down his perfect chest, to the way each muscle in his arms flexed as he wiped at his dripping bathing suit.
“You like something you see?” He teased, catching her eyes on him.
“Uhh...I was…umm…yes…” She sighed, a nervous smile on her lips. He winked playfully at her, before offering a hand out of the hot tub. Smiling broadly, she accepted it, climbing out next to him as he instinctively wrapped a towel around her bare shoulders. “Brr…”
Wrapping her arms tighter around her own body, she smiled at the feel of Orlando’s warm hands moving up and down her shoulders in an attempt to warm her. As shiver ran down her spine as she stepped closer to him, their bare, wet toes brushing on the small carpet upon which they stood.
Gripping tightly to her shoulders, Orlando allowed his eyes to wander once again, his eyes trailing from her toes to her lips, and then back down the valley revealed by her bathing suit and his height advantage. Realizing that he was slowly losing control of his desires, he stepped back ever so slightly, but quickly returned when a whimper of protest escaped her lips. His eyes traveled downward yet again, and as much as he hated to admit it, she was very quickly intoxicating him.
Noticing his eyes on her, Keira felt a surge of heat travel through her body as the words mindlessly floated from her lips, just as his had earlier. “Like what yousee?” She purred, making him weak in the knees.
“Mm-Hmm.” He murmured, blinking his eyes and returning them to her gorgeous hazel orbs. Without warning, a droplet of water fell from her hair, down her small nose and onto her lips, and before he could even contemplate what he was doing, his thumb was upon her lip, brushing away the water.
Now, they stood even closer, his thumb lightly caressing her bottom lip. He smiled, feeling her toes curl against his on the small rug…She wanted this as much as he did.
Glancing into her smoky eyes, he leaned towards her, slowly and deliberately. Her tongue darted out in anticipation and as his thumb began a gentle dance upon her jaw, their lips met. Neither of them moved for the longest of seconds, as they allowed the sensations of the moment to consume them. This kiss had been a long time coming, and it was certainly not going to be a disappointment.
With almost painful slowness, their lips began moving again, delicately as if it were a first kiss. Smiling against her lips, Orlando cradled her face in his strong hands and he couldn’t help but stifle a moan as her mouth opened to his, begging him to deepen the kiss.
As their tongues met for the first time in what seemed like forever, Keira could’ve sworn her knees were about to give out. Lifting her hands to his bare shoulders, she whimpered slightly as his tongue probed into a deeper exploration of her mouth and her towel fell to a pool at her feet.
Her arms wrapped tighter around his neck, pulling his strong body closer to hers as the kiss deepened. She could hear him whimper as their chests crashed together and she sighed, feeling his warm hands slide down her bare back, stopping only briefly to tease the strings of her bikini.
“Keira.” He gasped, pulling back slightly to press his forehead against hers in an attempt to calm his racing desires.
“Orlando.” She murmured, leaning in to kiss him again. Their lips crashed together again, the kisses now much more fervent than the earlier ones. Groaning softly at the sensations her fingers were causing as they rummaged through his hair, Orlando allowed his lips to travel from hers and to caress the inviting skin of her neck and collarbone. She sighed and whimpered under his ministrations, her body moving slightly against his as his desire grew more and more apparent.
Pulling back, her lust-filled eyes met his, and a hint of a smile crossed her features. Teasingly, she ran one finger down his cheek and onto his bare chest before locking his eyes onto hers. She bit her lip, a goofy smile lighting her eyes. “Is that something in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”
He laughed softly, and leaned closer to her. Wrapping his arms around her trim waist, his warm lips cascaded against her ear and his hot breath sent chills down her spine. “I’m very happy to see you.”
Her smile had now been replaced with a blush evident even in the darkness of the hotel room. Fully knowing the effect he was having on her, he once again pressed his lips to hers, pulling her body flush against his before moving tugging her towards the bedroom. Their lips clung and parted, pushing and pulling each other in every direction as they stumbled through the darkness towards the oversized hotel bed.
As the kisses grew deeper and the passion more intense, he constantly reassured and questioned her with his eyes, hoping he wasn’t forcing her into something she wasn’t ready for. As the backs of his legs met the mattress, he sat down, begging her with his eyes to join him.
“Keir…” He whispered, his voice low and husky, as she pondered the possibilities. Taking in the sight of him, half-naked, hair in disarray, and utterly aroused, she followed her instincts, moving cautiously to straddle him on the bed.
“Hey…” She whispered softly, now lowering herself to his eye-level.
“Hi.” He chuckled softly, leaning in to her lips for a series of short, innocent kisses. The kisses were passionate and romantic, but much urgent lustful than they had been moments earlier. Yet, there was something highly erotic about the way he was soothing her fears with his gentle compassion.
Warm kisses mixed with nervous giggles as they continued their delicate exploration of each other. Staring deep into her gorgeous light brown eyes, Orlando allowed his hands to roam over her back, carefully untying the strings of her bikini and removing it from her perfect body.
Her hands rested above her head as he explored her, his lips placing feather light kisses along the insides of her arms as he made his way up to her hands. He lavished her wrists with attention, taking pleasure in making her feel loved. He kissed each of her fingers, reveling in every little detail of her body before he lowered his lips back to hers, claiming them as her own.
“I love you…” He whispered against her ear, placing warm kisses on her soft skin as his hands explored her body. “Tell me if this is too much…”
“It’s okay.” She quivered under his gentle ministrations, feelings his hands touching and loving her so intimately. She could feel him tugging at the remainder of her bathing suit, and she knew that if it came off, his would soon follow, and then…
“Can I?” He asked calmly, sensing her nervousness.
“Mmh-Hmm…”
“Are you sure?” His fingers slid down her hips, teasing the sides of the bikini bottoms that he so ached to remove.
“Yes.” She choked out.
Their bare bodies pressed together in the darkness as their lips moved in a deep and torturous rhythm. Now, as their skin pressed together, Orlando felt his heart overflowing with feeling towards the woman lying beneath him. His lips were swollen and ragged from the intensity of their kisses and as he pulled back to press his forehead against hers, their eyes conversed. She wanted this as much as he did.
Her heart pounded at the prospect of what was about to happen, but in that moment, there was nothing she wanted more. No one had ever made her feel the way he was at that very moment, and she knew he wanted this as much as she did.
“Keir? Are you sure?”
“Positive.”
“Really?”
“Orlando…” She assured him, lightly caressing his chiseled features with her fingertips. “I want you…Please…”
A huge smile crossed his features and he nodded, kissing her lightly on the lips and tangling his fingers into her hair…
“Top drawer…” She murmured, letting go of him for a second.
“Ah, so you’re prepared…” He teased. “Were these meant for me or whatever random hunk seduced you?”
“Don’t flatter yourself Bloom…You are just one of many and I don’t consider you a hunk…” She winked playfully, knowing that that was the furthest thing from the truth. He was a hunk, and more importantly, he wasn’t one of many. He was the one…
“God, you’re gorgeous.” He sighed, staring at her.
“Thank you.” She blushed, feeling the butterflies in her stomach go into overdrive. “Kiss me…”
He obliged quickly, a hidden passion surfacing as their waltzing lips and tongues passed words that their mouths were too afraid to speak. Each and every kiss spoke volumes, and in the confines of their hearts and souls, something much more than physical was taking place as their bodies continued the conversation that their simple kissed had started.
“Are you sure?” He gasped, knowing full well that there was no turning back now.
“Yes Orlando…” She whimpered, her eyes filling with tears. “Please…love me tonight…”
“I love you…” He smiled, clinging to her naked body in the darkness. Those delicate words, along with muted whimpers and passionate sighs filled the room in which a few short moments would change everything between them.
This was more than either of them could have ever expected...
