“Sorry,” he said. “I just wanted to reassure you. We’reokay. We’re going to get to the pick-up point without any issues.”
“Do your cuts hurt?” she asked.
“No.” The truth was, Flash had forgotten all about them.
“Good. Flash?”
“Yeah?”
“I’m glad we met. This trip would’ve sucked without you being here to keep me sane.”
He wasn’t too surprised they were thinking along the same lines. “Same,” he agreed.
If he had his way, Flash would’ve floated down this river until it joined the ocean, but like all good things, this too had to end. Ahead, he saw the spot where they would be getting out of the river.
But strangely, it was almost deserted. There was one man sitting on a bench and a minivan in the small covered parking area.
“Where is everyone?” Kelli asked, obviously having seen the deserted area herself.
“Guess they got tired of waiting for us,” Flash said.
But inside, every nerve was on alert. Something felt off.
He tried to reason with himself that he and Kellihadbeen a ways behind the rest of their companions, and they were the last tour group to enter the river that morning.
Still…they couldn’t have missed their one o’clock pick-up time bythatmuch.
“I guess we should be glad someone actually waited for us. It would’ve sucked to have to hitchhike back to the resort.”
Flash shivered at her words. That would’ve been the worst-case scenario for sure. There was no way he wantedto hitchhike in this country. He was sure most of the people who lived here were perfectly nice humans. But it was the small percentage of people who were desperate enough to do anything for a buck that worried him.
He steered them as close to the edge of the river as he could. “I’ll help you out,” he said.
After Kelli nodded, he easily lifted her off his lap and held onto her arm as she got her balance in the knee-deep water. Well, it was knee deep for him; on her, the water was lapping at her?—
Nope. He wasn’t looking there. Wasn’t going to stare as the water gently caressed her pussy while she waited for him to get out of the tube.
Fuck. Now he was hard again.
“Go on, I’ll bring the tube,” Flash said in a raspy tone.
She smiled at him, then nodded before turning and wading out of the water.
For a second, Flash stared at her ass, imagining what it would look like as she knelt in front of him on her hands and knees, waiting for him to take her.
Moving quickly, Flash rolled out of the tube and into the chilly water. It had the effect he wanted, shrinking his cock.
Shrinkage. Thinking about George Costanza and theSeinfeldepisode once more, he grinned. Standing, he whipped his head from side to side, flinging water in all directions, before running a hand through his hair to get as much moisture out of it as he could. Then he picked up the tube and followed Kelli onto dry land.
She was smirking as he came toward her.
“What?”
“You totally looked like a hair commercial when you did that.”
“Did what?”
“Shook your head. Water sparkled in the sunlight, and after, when you ran your hand through your hair? If I had that on camera, I could sell it to some shampoo company and make a million bucks.”
