“You can’t say shit like that.”We glare at one another for long tense moments.
“I want you,” she says without any hesitation.“I want to live in your house with our dogs.I want to fuck you and kiss you whenever I feel like it and not have to hide it.I want to marry you and have your babies and grow old with you.And nothing you, Luke, or anyone else has to say will change my mind.”
“Baby doll...”
“Listen to me carefully, Alistair Xander Grey.I love you.”She cups my face and kisses me so sweetly I feel it in my soul.“But you need to move.”
I do exactly what she asks, my heart overflowing with every emotion I’ve ever felt all at once.I take her gently, slowly, stroking into her at a measured pace until we both reach our peak and fall into the abyss of pleasure together.

By noon, we are bothshowered and dressed.Skye wants to see the waterfall and I want to see her beneath it in that damn red thing she calls a bikini.
We don’t see anyone we know as we leave the resort, and I am thankful for that.I hate lying and having to hide anything just pisses me off.Especially Skye.She isn’t a dirty secret but we both agreed to wait until we’re home and I know that it’s for the best.
We arrange for a picnic basket at reception and after fifteen minutes of waiting we are on our way.We drive along winding roads through lush foliage until we reach a parking area.From there it’s a two-mile walk on a paved path through the jungle until we reach the waterfall.
All the way there I walk behind her carrying our picnic basket.I nearly break my damn neck a few times because I can’t stop staring at her ass in the damn shorts she’s wearing.
But it’s worth it.
The moment the waterfall comes into view I know I will never forget this for as long as I live.From high above, the water cascades down into a pool.A fine mist hangs in the air, coating the rocks and trees.Everything is greener here—I swear I didn’t think it would be possible—and the forest around us is alive.Brightly colored birds fly above us singing their songs to one another.
It’s Skye’s smile that makes it memorable, though.She has always had an infectious personality, and her excitement carries through to those around her.She bounces on the balls of her feet, her gaze traveling the area again and again.
“It’s like something out of a dream.”Her voice is soft and reverent, like she’s afraid she’ll scare off the vision in front of us if she speaks too loudly.
I pull her into my side and kiss the top of her head.“I know what you mean.”
We unpack the blanket and picnic basket a couple of feet from the falls to keep everything as dry as possible before stripping to our swimsuits and enjoying the water.We are constantly touching each other, not so much sexually but just for connection.It’s the first time we have been out in the world together and we haven’t had to worry about who will see us.
Skye takes a million photos.Of the waterfall, the jungle, our food, and of us.So many photos of us.Laughing, hugging, kissing under the waterfall.It’s a perfect day and even though I want to fuck her under the waterfall in that ridiculously sexy bikini, there are other people around and I will probably end up in jail if someone sees her in a compromised position.It’s bad enough that all the men leer at her when she walks past.
We drive back to the resort as the sun starts to set, painting the sky in hues of orange, red, and purple and I know, for the rest of my life, this will be my best day.
