“Well what if there’s a baby alligator in it?”she asked, wrinkling her nose.

“I’ll toss something in to check.It’s shallow though and pretty clear.There’s probably not a waterfall here all the time—it might be flowing down this way from the heavy rain yesterday.”

Noah dropped his backpack to the ground, grabbing a fallen branch from nearby.He tossed it into the pond, watching as the water rippled.Bailey’s gaze was drawn to his tall, muscular form.He hadn’t questioned her, just immediately taken charge, tossing in a branch to ensure they’d be safe.

She liked that he reassured her.Not that she needed a man around back in Virginia Beach to take care of her, but here?

She was out of her element.Noah knew more survival skills than she ever would, but he didn’t fault her for it.He explained things when she had questions, was patient when she was upset or frightened.

As much of a flirt as he was, he seemed to genuinely care about her.He would’ve rescued anyone from the water, that she knew.But would he have been as careful and attentive to anyone else?

They were attracted to one another, certainly, but there was something more than that, too.

“Looks like it’s just us, sunshine,” he said, gazing over at her with those smoldering green eyes of his.“No alligators in sight.We can rinse off and fill up our water bottles.Don’t drink it right away though, just in case.”

“How long do the water purification tablets need to work?”

“About thirty minutes.This water is clear, so it’s just to be on the safe side.They release chlorine into the water, just like water purification plants.”

“That’s kind of amazing,” she said.

“Yep.Always carry them with me,” he said.He grabbed his empty canteen from his backpack, filling it with water and dropping in a tablet.Bailey grabbed the empty water bottles and crouched down beside him, filling them both to the top.

“Too bad we don’t have more empty bottles,” she said.“We’ll have to keep coming back here.”

“I hope not,” he said with a chuckle.“They’ll be looking for us today.Mason and Taylor, too, because you know there’s no way in hell that Mason will just sit silently waiting for word from the Coast Guard.”

Bailey watched as Noah dropped the water purification tablets into the bottles they’d filled.She pulled off her tee shirt and shimmied out of her shorts, smiling as Noah’s heated gaze landed on her.“Hell, you’re beautiful.Far too tempting,” he said with a chuckle.

She dropped her clothes by his backpack, leaving him standing there watching her as she stepped into the water.It was warmer than she expected, but fresh and clear.The small pool of water barely came up to her knees, but she crossed over to the waterfall, eagerly letting it wash the salt and sand off of her.She ran her hands through her hair, wishing she had shampoo or something to really wash it with.

Fresh water would have to do.

She’d need a major deep conditioning treatment after being out in the saltwater and sun for a few days.Her hair currently was fried.

Bailey heard a splash as Noah stepped into the shallow pond after her, and then he was joining her under the waterfall.Their eyes locked for a brief moment as she gazed up at him, and then he was beside her.Kissing her.Holding her in his muscular arms.

Water ran down his biceps and impressive chest, pouring over their faces as they kissed.He tasted masculine and slightly salty from the ocean.His erection prodded against her stomach, and she wondered why she’d been pushing him away the past few days.

His mouth moved surely against hers, confident and commanding.

His tongue trailed over the seam of her lips, and she opened to him, yielding to his silent demand.His tongue rubbed against hers as she gasped, thrusting in and out of her mouth.It was erotic and sexy kissing under the waterfall, and she knew she’d never forget this moment.

Noah ducked down, his teeth grazing over her neck as she gasped.His thumb ran over the tiny studs in her ear, and she ran her own hands up and down his abdomen, feeling his six—no, make that eight-pack.He was solid muscle and strength—nothing but pure, powerful male.

Daring to explore lower, she cupped his erection, feeling him jump slightly in her hand.He was thick and long and hard—perfect in every way imaginable.Noah was big and muscular all over, and she’d had no doubt his cock would be, too.

“Fuck, Bailey,” he muttered, gasping into her neck as she teased him.

“Take off your swim trunks,” she demanded, and he shucked out of them quickly, tossing them onto the rocks.

“Your turn, sunshine,” he said, his voice gruff.He reached behind her neck, untying her bikini top, and then spun her around to pull the strings across her back.Noah pushed against her, his erection against her ass as he cupped her full breasts, her hot pink bikini top falling into the water.

Bailey moaned and rubbed against him, arching into his touch.He kneaded and caressed her breasts from behind her, so tall he could no doubt look down over her shoulder and see everything.He edged them closer to the rocks, so the water fell behind them, and it felt like they were alone in their own secluded little world, hidden behind the waterfall.

He pinched at her nipples as she gasped, and then one muscular hand trailed down, sliding over her flat stomach and edging inside her bikini bottoms.

She was dripping with arousal, already wet for him.Able fingers deftly parted her folds, and he slid his fingers up, expertly circling her clit and spreading her arousal around as she gasped.He gripped one breast in his other hand, curling his larger body around hers as he began to pleasure her.
