off-road vehicle. He walked in and started the quad, pulling it out of the shed.
    "Hop on." He shouted over the noise of the engine , holding a helmet out to me. Securing it to my head, I straddled the seat behind him. "Hold on!" I wrapped my arms around his waist.
    He gunned it and I tightened my arms. Burying my face into his back for a minute , I finally got the courage to peek over his shoulder.  It wasn’t the quad scaring me.  It was my lack of self-control.
    Stopping at the top of a large cliff, we looked over the horizon. It was beautiful. He continued to drive until we came upon a small waterfall and large creek of fresh running water. We took our shoes off and submerged kneed-deep into the natural spring. The water was refreshingly cool, but the rocks lining the creek were slippery.  Taking a step deeper into the water, Aidan slipped. I reached to catch him, but his weight took us both into the water.
    "Ahh, this water is cold." Flopping around in the water, pushing at Aidan to get off of me, I tried to get up. My efforts were worthless, since Aidan wouldn't budge. Pausing, I took in our position.
    "It's kind of refreshing." Aidan's grin morphed from amused to seductive. His eyes focused on my mouth, as a bead of cool water lingered on my upper lip.
    "Uh huh," I breathed. I couldn't pull my eyes away from the way he watched my mouth.
    When I swept my tongue up to catch the bead, his grin faltered. He leaned forward, inching his face closer to mine. Leaning back on a palm, bracing for his mouth to touch mine, the slime underneath my hand sent me back into the water.
    Spluttering as Aidan pulled me out from the water and onto my feet, I began to laugh.
    "Get me out of here before you drown me." I giggled.
    "That last attempt was your own fault." Grinning, he helped me climb back onto solid ground.
    Once back on the quad, he took me further around the island. The warm air and sun dried our clothes and our bodies.

Aidan
    Taking the longest routes possible just to keep her arms wrapped around me, her body pressed against me, was pathetic.  However, I would take what I could get. I wonder if she realized how many times we had passed some of the same places?
    After spending most of the morning driving around the island, I surprised Lilli with a packed lunch. We sat on the beach at the far end of the island eating and talking. Once finished, we drove around until the sun was on the other side of the sky and shadows started to form.
    Getting back to the house, we brushed off as much dirt as possible before taking turns in the shower. Turning off the spray of the shower, I could hear music playing. I dressed quickly and went to investigate. Lilli was dancing around while cooking. Leaning up against the wall, I stood and watched.
    Watching her hips and ass sway while stirring and mixing the food was hypnotizing. She was gorgeous without even trying. My cheeks started to ache from the smile I had on my face. Her eyes widened the moment she spun and caught me watching.
    "How long have you been standing there?" she narrowed her eyes at me but I could see a small smile forming.
    "Oh...long enough," I laughed out.
    "Loser," she giggled.
    "I love you too..." I laughed. Then, it dawned on me. Taking in her stiff posture, she had realized too. "I-I didn't mean –" her body relaxed.
    "I get it." Turning back around, she finished cooking.
    That night we ate in front of the TV again and watched movies. Just like every night since we had gotten here, Lilli fell asleep and I carried her to bed.

    Lying awake for awhile, I thought about our time on the island and just how easy it was with her. As I started to wonder about how things would be once we returned to New York, her warm hand slipped over my chest, her breath in my neck. For a moment I held my breath. Lilli was pressed against my body and I didn’t want to do anything that would make her move. Arousal began to flood my lower body.
    "Lilli?" I
