A/N: Hey everyone! I'm sorry it's been a long time since I've updated. I've been incredibly busy, but I'm going to be trying harder to try to get chapters in more often. Now a few of you requested Chapter 24 to be done in Eric's POV as well so here it is! I hope to continue where I left off with the actual story soon. Enjoy!

Chapter Twenty-Five

(Eric's POV)

Every time I close my eyes I see those things…those shadowy figures that stretched across the outside of our "safe haven." Amy and I had managed to keep them out for now, but I knew it was only a matter of time. We'd spent the past several hour packing. We were leaving first thing tomorrow and we were never coming back.

Now I lay side by side with Amy on the bed. I'm exhausted, but I know I won't be finding sleep anytime soon. Neither of us spoke. The power's still out so the only thing lighting the entire place is our little battery-powered lantern, which surprisingly we haven't had to switch out the batteries for.

I reach across the space between Amy and I and take her hand. The simple skin on skin contact is by far a better thing to think about then the creatures that could still be lurking just outside.

I look down at are joined hands and notice that mine is a bit dirty. I really needed to shower. In fact, we should probably both shower because we may not get another chance to for awhile. However, as stupid as it sounds, I'm afraid to be alone right now…and even more scared of Amy being by herself.

"Take a shower with me." Did that seriously just come out of my mouth? Stunned, I turn to see and an equally stunned Amy staring right back at me.

"What?" She asks.

My face burns. "W-wait…no… That came out wrong." I get out, turning to face the ceiling. "I-I mean, this could be the last time we will get to shower for awhile…and I…I really don't want to be alone right now. We can keep our clothes on or even take showers separately…but if you don't mind…can we go in there together?"

I really did just say that…and I probably just made things worse.

"Sure."

I whip my head around in surprise. Amy stares back at me with a small smile on her face. All I can do is look like a dope, force a smile, and nod my head.

She just agreed to come with me and I can't even show a real smile. I feel crappy about it but I am extremely thankful right now even if I can't manage to show it.

Amy takes the lantern off of the nightstand and climbs off the bed. I follow her as she walks into the bathroom. She sets the lantern on the counter and I push the broken door shut…or at least as shut as it will get.

I hear Amy giggle slightly. "You really did a number on that door, didn't you?" she says looking at me.

I see her face fall slightly when she sees she didn't make me laugh. I feel a pang of guilt about it and force another smile, hoping that it would ease her worry of me.

I turn and hop up onto the counter next to the lantern and stare at the wall across from me. "I'll let you go first."

"No." she tells me.

I look back at her in confusion. "No?"

"Together."

I feel heat travel to my face and my heart begins to beat a little faster. "You sure?"

"Yes."

Unsure of what to do, I hop off of the counter and stand before her, staring at the ground. I wait for her to enter the shower. I close my eyes for a second and an image of a dark face with empty white eyes appears in my mind. When I manage to push the image out of my head as best I could, I notice Amy hasn't moved. I bring my head up and lock eyes with her.

She holds eye contact and removes her shirt and tosses it to the ground. My eyes go to her naked chest only for a second, but it's enough to get me hard. My heart pounds against my chest.

She then reaches down to the waistband of her shorts and in a matter of seconds, the join the floor where her shirt lies. I gulp and turn my face to the ceiling. I try to get my breathing to steady, but at this point, it's nearly impossible. I look back at Amy and see she's watching me. She holds eye contact as she brings her hands…

I lunge and grab her wrists before she can remove her underwear. She looks up at me and shivers. I realize just how close I am to her and quickly remove me hands. I raise them in the air and take a huge step backwards.

And Amy begins laughing…actually laughing.

Feeling extremely embarrassed, I turn my face towards the wall.

"What are you doing?" I ask her, warily.

"Getting undressed." She says it as if she's just casually telling me she's making a sandwich. "What does it look like?"

"But…why are you...removing everything.?"

"Because I want to." She tells me bluntly.

"But…" As I turn my face back to hers I can tell she has no intention of changing her mind. Okay, she wants to play it that way. "Fine, but we're going to make it even."

I tug my shirt over my head and the remove me shorts, leaving me in only my boxers which are sporting a not-so-subtle bulge. I bring my hands to the waistband and watch Amy's reaction.

Her face turns redder and she looks away.

"Had enough?" I ask her, hoping she would stop there, but at the same time…

She looks back at me challengingly and before I can even react, she pulls her underwear down and lets them fall to the ground.

She then turns around and turns the shower on…completely naked. My eyes travel over her backside before she steps behind the curtain and into the shower.

I take a few deep breaths before removing my boxers and walking over to the shower. I step inside but I barely register the cold water hitting my body. Amy's back is to me. Her wet hair sticks to her shoulder blades. My eyes begin to travel down her back, to her butt.

Before, when I had seen her naked, I didn't exactly see all of her…not her lower half.

I really want to touch her.

I let out a shaky breath and stepped closer. I reach out and place my hand over hers. I begin to trail it up her arm until I reach her shoulder. I brush her wet hair aside, exposing her bare shoulder to me.

She's doing all of this to take my mind away from the haunting events that happened earlier.

She's doing this all for me.

I step closer and bring my hand to her bare stomach and rest my head against her shoulder.

"I know what you're doing." I tell her.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." She responds.

I find myself smiling and let out a chuckle. "Sure you don't…but thank you….you really didn't have to do this, though. I'm fine, really."

"I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't want to, Eric." She tells me as she places her hand on top of mine.

I let out another shaky breath. "I will leave at any time if you want me to." I tell her.

"I don't want you to." She says, softly. And then she begins to move her hands upwards until…

"Holy…" I say shakily under my breath.

Both of my hands are her boobs. They are so soft…and since it's cold…I can easily feel her nipples against the palms of my hands.

I breathe heavily and take a step closer until I'm pressed against her. I feel my erection press against her bare skin. The small contact almost causes me to stop breathing.

I snap out of my stupor and begin to move my hands against her chest. I gently squeeze one causing Amy to ever so slightly jump. I'm about to let go, but she leans her head back until it rests on my shoulders.

"How are you so beautiful?" I tell her before kissing her neck.

Amy shivers and let's out a small chuckle. "That's your hormones talking."

"No, you were beautiful long before we started doing stuff like this." I tell her, taking one of my hands off her chest to turn her face towards mine.

She looks at me for a few moments before reaching up and brushing my wet hair away from my forehead.

"You think so?" she asks.

"I know so." I tell her, before placing my mouth on hers. Almost immediately, I run my tongue along the seam of her mouth. She opens he mouth just enough for me to slip my tongue inside and run it along her tongue.

Amy pulls away after a few moments and turns to face me. I pull her against me, causing my erection to press into her stomach. My mouth finds hers again and I slowly trail my hands down until they rest on her butt. I feel her own hands running along my back.

I really want to see all of her.

I pull away. "Can I look at you?" I ask her.

Amy let's out a laugh, but nods. "Yeah."

I take a step back as she stands before me. My eyes travel down her body until they reach a particular part of her and then force my eyes back to her face.

"You are amazing." I say. I can't help but smile at her.

Amy takes a step towards me and reaches up to cup my face. "So are you." She says before bringing my face down to hers. I pull her against me and begin kissing her again. I wrap one arm around her waist and bring the other one up into her hair.

I really want to have sex with her to the point where it is almost unbearable so I know I need to stop. As much as I want to, I know it wouldn't be wise right now.

I pull away. Breathing heavily. "I-I think we should stop now. I-If we don't, I'm not sure if I'll be able to stop myself and I'm not quite sure if we're ready for that." I tell her honestly.

Amy nods and turns off the shower. I reach around the corner and grab us both a towel. We dry off and put our clothes back on. Amy leaves first. I turn to the mirror and try to comb out my hair the best I can with my fingers. I can't remember the last time I combed my hair.

Why am I suddenly self-conscious? We're on an island with dinosaurs and I'm worried about my hair all of a sudden?

I remove my hand from my hair and grab the lantern. I exit the bathroom and find Amy already sitting on the bed. Instantly, I'm smiling, recalling the events that just took place. And yes, I was still turned on.

Amy smiles back at me, causing my heart to soar. I walk to the opposite side of the bed and set the lantern down. I climb in beside her, wrap her in my arms, and kiss her.

"Thank you." I tell her softly before reaching down and turning off the lantern.
