“Shane,” she gasped.
He lifted her leg over his and entered her from behind.
“Oh god.” She reached blindly for a leg or hip—something to hold onto.
“You’re so beautiful. Hot and wet. I can feel you all around me, squeezing me.”
His words were punctuated by his strong, leisurely strokes and it was driving her insane.
“It’s all I can do not to flip you over and drive into you, but I want it to last. I want it to drive you crazy until you blow all around me.” He spoke against her neck, licking, sucking, and nipping between words.
“Stop talking,” she said.
“Does it make you hot?” He sucked on the tender lobe of her ear, and shivers of pleasure raced down her skin.
“Yes. If you want it to last, you need to be quiet.”
“So you can concentrate on feeling me slide in and out of your tight, hot pussy? So fucking good. I can feel you pulling at me like you don’t want to let me go.” He flicked her clit and that was it.
“Oh. Fuck! Shane!” Her orgasm powered through her and she bore down while he pumped into her hard until he buried himself balls deep and scraped his teeth along the column of her neck.
The slight sting sent a smaller orgasm crashing through her, chasing the tail end of the first one.
Kinley’s breathing eventually returned to normal while Shane brushed his lips over the spot he’d bitten. She couldn’t have stopped the satisfied smile if her life depended on it. What a way to wake up.
Her stomach rumbled. “I’m hungry,” she said.
He laughed and squeezed her hip as he slipped from her, leaving an emptiness behind. Then he leaned up on an elbow and tilted her face to him. “Let’s get cleaned up and I’ll see what I can do.

Kinley pushed the vine away from her face and sipped from the valve of her water bladder. Her goal for the day was to avoid drinking that gross, super sweet, fake lemonade crap Shane kept shoving at her. He’d forced one on her before they set out and that was more than enough for the day as far as she was concerned.
Sweat crept down the small of her back. Her hiking pack helped absorb most of it, but there was nothing to stop the steady trickle into the crack of her ass. The pack was too bulky for her to reach the small of her back to rub the spot and keep it from dripping down.
As enjoyable as their activities were that morning, she was starting to regret it. Cleaning up with baby wipes hadn’t been exactly refreshing and now, with all the sweat, she could smell herself. This wasn’t what she’d envisioned when she’d pictured herself marching through the jungle to be one of the first people in thousands of years to set foot in an ancient Mayan city. The only thing keeping her from turning around and calling it quits was her determination to prove she’d done what everyone said she couldn’t have.
The view of Shane’s butt ahead of her didn’t hurt either.
Her stomach grumbled even though it had only been a couple of hours since they’d eaten breakfast. She’d devoured the MRE Shane had handed her including the crackers and peanut butter that could be used as mortar if they had to build a hut.
“You good back there?” he asked.
“I’m here.” He looked like he was barely breaking a sweat as he swung the machete in front of him to clear the path for them. “Do you have any granola bars handy?”
He stopped and turned. “Hungry?”
“Yes, which is weird for me since I don’t usually eat more than a couple of times a day.”
“You also don’t expend this much energy in a day either. Your body’s telling you it needs fuel.” He swung his pack around and pulled a snack bar from one of the pockets. It was the equivalent of Mary Poppins’s carpet bag for backpackers. “Here. This one has more calories—it’s still a few hours until lunch.”
Shane’s head tilted back and Kinley followed his gaze, but only saw the jungle canopy. “What is it?”
“Shhh. Listen.”
All she heard were the trees swaying in the light breeze that didn’t reach them on the ground, the insects, the birds, and the occasional monkey calling out. Nothing that hadn’t been making noise two minutes ago.
She cocked her head, straining to hear anything else. Then the whir of rotor blades reached her.
