He smirks. "Just wait."

Once we've enjoyed our expensive snacks, which were delish, he leads me back to the tour group.

Rene's booming voice cuts through the chatter. "All right, mates! Who's up for some sightseeing?"

As the group climbs onto the bus, Ryan pulls me aside. "I've got other plans for us. This was just a quick visit to make sure Rene doesn't think we got lost and fell down a mountain."

My pulse quickens. "More surprises? You've been one busy boy, haven't you?"

"Trust me," he urges, leading me away.

We hike through a lush park where the air is heavy with tropical scents that I can't even describe. Ryan's hand in mine feels right, like it belongs there. As for the toy...Yeah, it's still there and still driving me crazy.

"Almost there," he advises, guiding me off the path.

We emerge into a secluded clearing that I can honestly describe as a hidden paradise. A small waterfall tumbles into a crystal-clear pool, surrounded by vibrant flowers.

"Ryan, it's breathtaking."

He tugs me closer, and soon, our lips are fused, our tongues tangling in an erotic dance. Then suddenly, the toy between my thighs springs to life.

I gasp against his mouth. "Oh god..."

"Let go, Meredith," he whispers. "I want to see you come undone this time."

The intensity builds to an almost unbearable peak, every wave of pleasure more powerful than the last. My body arches against Ryan's. My nails dig into his shoulders as I cry out, thesound echoing off the rocks. The most earth-shattering orgasm of my life crashes through me like a tidal wave, leaving me trembling and breathless. My mind goes blissfully blank, every thought and worry drowned out by a sea of ecstasy.

As the aftershocks ripple through me, I collapse into Ryan's arms, utterly spent. My legs are useless, like overcooked noodles, and I'm grateful for his strong, steady hold. He strokes my back tenderly, his touch sending little sparks through my oversensitized flesh. The tranquil sound of the waterfall mingles with our heavy breathing, creating a serene backdrop to our stolen moment.

I close my eyes and let the warm, humid air envelop me. The scent of blooming hibiscus and wet earth fills my lungs, grounding me in the present. Ryan's heartbeat is a soothing rhythm against my cheek, and I feel a deep, unexpected contentment wash over me. This is more than just a physical release. It's a connection, an intimacy that goes beyond the here and now. We remain rooted to this spot for what feels like an eternity, neither of us willing to break the fragile spell. My fingers trace lazy patterns on his back, and I can feel his breaths ruffling my hair. There's a softness to this moment that makes my heart ache in the best possible way.

Slowly, reality begins to seep back in. I lift my head to gaze up at Ryan. He brushes a strand of hair from my face, his touch lingering on my cheek. I wonder if he's feeling the same thing I am—this delicate balance between desire and something deeper.

I nuzzle his cheek. "That was...incredible."

"You're incredible, Meredith. And I'd love to know more about you, all the things you've held back. I'll do the same."

I pull back to look into his eyes. "I want to share everything with you, Ryan. It's time we opened up to each other. But after what you did for me a few minutes ago, I need you inside me, every inch of you. Right now."

"Anything for you, baby."

In response, I crush my lips to his in a searing kiss. He unzips his pants while clutching me to his body, and we don't even stop kissing while he rips my panties to shreds. We're both so desperate to for him to take my body that our brains shut down. We come together in a frenzy of passion, our bodies colliding, our hands groping. Then he shoves his knee between my thighs to spread them and punches into me. I throw my head back and swallow a shout. The fullness of him feels incredible. The world fades away, until nothing exists but Ryan inside me, our bodies moving together in frenetic harmony.

Afterward, we fall into a heap on the grass, tangled in each other's arms, basking in the afterglow. I trace lazy patterns on Ryan's skin, marveling at how right this feels.

Ryan brushes hairs away from my face. "We should probably head back soon."

"I suppose so," I agree, exhaling a long sigh, not wanting this moment to end.

But we behave like adults and straighten our clothes while stealing kisses and touches all the while. As we begin our trek back to the bus, Ryan takes my hand, lacing our fingers. I smile up at him, probably seeming like an infatuated fool.

"This has been the most amazing day, Ryan. Thank you."

He kisses my hand. "It's not over yet. We still have the flight back to Heirani Motu."

"Promise to behave yourself this time?"

"Now where's the fun in that?" He kisses each of my knuckles in turn. "But if you don't want me to use the toy anymore..."
