“Well… good.” He’s frowning in confusion as he peers at me.

I start to pull the T-shirt over my head again.

“Baby?”

“I’m ready, Cal.” I tug off the shirt and drop it on the ground.

His eyes rake hungrily up and down my naked body before they return to my face. “Baby?”

I take a couple of steps toward him. “I’m ready. And I don’t want to wait anymore.”

He lets out a broken groan and makes a grab for me, hauling me toward his wet body and then kissing me deep and hard. We’re standing halfway under the fall of water, and it’s the strangest, most delightful sensation. Being naked in the open air. Warm water falling down on us from above. And Cal’s big, hard, urgent body moving against mine, his tongue delving hungrily into my mouth.

We kiss for a long time until he must be getting tired of bending over to reach me. I’m a lot shorter than he is. He gathers me up and lifts me so I can wrap my legs around his middle.

He’s still kissing me as he steps out from under the waterfall, moving carefully so as not to slip on the wet rocks. Then he straightens his neck and looks around, frowning as he scans our surroundings. “Shit. How we gonna do this?”

Laughter bubbles out of me as I cling to him with my arms and my legs.

“I’m serious. I was all rarin’ to go, and we got hard rocks and packed dirt to choose from.”

I’m raring to go too. No question about that. So I think on the question until I come up with an answer. “We could spread the towels out on the ground.”

“Good thinkin’.” He lets me slide back down to my feet, and we quickly spread our two big towels out on the softest expanse of dirt with some patches of scrubby grass. I’m about to kneel down onto one of the towels when he swings me up into his arms.

“What are you doing?” I ask between giggles. I love how it feels to be cradled like this by him. I always have.

“I had a whole mood goin’. No use to let logistical nuisances interfere.” He bends enough to gently lay me down on a towel and then moves on top of me.

I’m still laughing a little as he kisses me, and his body is shuddering with warm amusement and something else.

Something I suspect is deep excitement.

He kisses me until my vision blurs and I’m squirming beneath him. Then he moves down my body. He gives my breasts a lot of attention and then rubs his damp beard against my belly. I’m already arching up and making helpless whimpers and gasps even before he parts my legs and nuzzles my pussy.

“Cal!” I’m clutching at his head, his hair. Digging my fingers into his skull.

He lifts his head to check my face. “You likin’ this, baby?”

I make a ridiculous, babbling sound and try to grind my groin against his face.

“Seems like you are.” He’s smiling as he kisses the inside of one of my thighs. “Been dreamin’ about doin’ this for you. Dreamin’ about the way you smell right now. The way you lose control and beg for it. The way the green in your eyes darkens when you really want it. Been dreamin’ about it for so long.”

I make a helpless, sobbing sound at the words and even more when he teases my clit with his tongue.

“You ready to come for me, baby?”

“Yes, please! Please! I’ve been waiting… so long.” I squirm and tug on his hair and fight the urge to ride his face.

He hums approvingly as he teases and licks. Then I fly apart when he sucks hard on my clit. I’m barely over the peak when he slides two fingers inside my pussy and curls them up against my G-spot.

I spasm all around him, choking on cries of pleasure as another orgasm comes on the heel of the first.

He strokes me through it, lifting his head so he can see me better. He murmurs about how hard I’m coming, how good I am, how much he loves to see me this way.

When the intensity has finally passed, my body softens deliciously. I shift my head against the towel and smile in pure satisfaction.

“Looks like you needed that.” He’s still got two fingers inside me, but he readjusts his body so he can lean down and kiss my mouth. “You look real happy.”
