tall to him, Dani’s was just as tall if not more so. She actually had to scoot her butt sideways off the seat to get one foot onto the ground, but she didn’t seem to have a problem with it.
    The jungle around them was alive with sounds that seemed amplified when he shut off the motorcycle. The trail they were following, while rugged, seemed almost grown into the earth, as if it had been planted that way. There were rocks and roots over sections, but that only served to make things more interesting. Even though he hadn’t been on a bike in nearly a decade, Evan was surprised to find he hadn’t fallen yet.
    Not that he would say that aloud. No need to press his luck with fate.
    She pulled off her helmet and looked around, a wistful smile on her face. “It’s beautiful here, isn’t it?”
    Despite the beauty around him, Evan couldn’t take his eyes away from her. Dani’s blonde hair was like a halo around her head, fanning out in the light breeze that swept through the trees. Her cheeks were flushed, and she looked so goddamn beautiful that he wanted to kiss her right then and there. Instead, he took off his helmet as well, enjoying the cool air on his own skin.
    She gestured back the way they came. “The last time I was down this way, the road curved down toward the water, to a beach with a small house on it. The time before that, it led to this cave that had incredible geodes growing out of the walls. When you shone even a penlight in there, the whole place glowed.”
    “And where is it leading us today?”
    Dani grinned at him. “Want to find out?”

    T he trail ran into a dead end right across from one of the most beautiful waterfalls Evan could remember seeing. Through the helmet, he heard Dani gasp as they parked the bikes. “Well, that’s new,” she murmured, but he could hear the wonder in her voice.
    She was already off the bike and heading straight for the water’s edge as Evan dismounted, laying his gloves and jacket across the bike. The waterfall threw clouds of mist into the air, the wind swirling it into little whorls and eddies. Sunlight flared through the trees, giving the air a shimmering quality as various colors played across the area.
    Dani knelt down beside the pool, submerging her hand into the water. “Feels great,” she said to Evan, and then began unbuckling her boots.
    “What are you doing?” Evan asked, although it was immediately obvious. Dani stepped out of her boots and socks, then the pants she’d worn with her leg armor attached. Evan blinked when she also unzipped the jeans she’d been wearing beneath the over-pants and pulled them down to reveal the white bikini bottoms.
    Evan’s breath hitched in his throat. Dani didn’t seem to notice him as she stepped into the pool, giving him an eyeful of beautiful legs and an ass that wouldn’t quit. She still wore the t-shirt, but she looked back and gave him a wink before pulling that over her head and tossing it aside.
    “Come on, it feels fantastic.”
    But Evan was rooted to the spot. His dick was at full attention, straining against the extra layers he wore. It didn’t matter that she still wore the white bikini; her little strip show had turned him on, and if he took off his clothes there’d be no hiding it.
    “Oh come on. Unless you’re chicken?”
    Well, damn. He couldn’t stay there with that taunting smile coaxing him on. “I didn’t bring my bathing suit along,” he called, grinning as he unclasped the boots.
    “Excuses, excuses.”
    The water, he found out only a moment later, did indeed feel incredible. Wearing only his plaid boxers, he settled into the wild pool and swam out toward the center, where Dani was standing on a large boulder partially exposed above the water line.
    “See,” she teased, “that wasn’t so hard. Come here, let me show you something.”
    She dove off the side of the rock and Evan swam after her toward the waterfall. It was even louder this close, but Dani bypassed the large
