Day break streamed enough light into Jack’s room that it woke them up early the next morning. They were tangled up in one another’s nude bodies.
“Good morning,” Jack mumbled as he stretched to wake up.
“Good morning to you,” she replied.
“How’d you sleep?”
“Quite well,” as she stretched, “then again I did have the BEST massage of my life last night.”
“Good! I slept rather well myself. Hey…” he asked quietly, “what do you have going today?”
She thought for a second, “Nothing, I was going to lay out by the pool, enjoy a couple of cocktails and get some sun.”
“Do you want to join me for a ride today?” he asked tilting his head inquisitively.
“If by ride you mean….” she started with a twinkle in her eye.
Jack laughed, “No, that can be later,” he winked, “a ride to Hakeakala to hike and swim in the Seven Sacred Pools. They are freshwater pools, waterfalls, I hear it’s incredible.”
“Sounds wonderful. I’d love to join you.” She yawned and stretched again,
I’m going to go to my room, so I can check email and get ready. When do you plan on leaving?”
“I’d say around 7:30. We can stop somewhere for breakfast if you’d like.”
“That sounds perfect.” She planted a kiss on his cheek, “I’ll see you soon.”
He teased, “I wish soon was now.” They both laughed at the little phrase that was already becoming common between them.
She sauntered sexily out of his room, he watched every step.
As the door shut, he thought to himself, Holy shit! Last night was hotter than I could’ve possibly imagined. She has got to have one of the most beautiful bodies I have ever seen. Wow, I have it bad for her. Hiking with her should be fun. Maybe I can get her to skinny dip with me in one of the more private pools.
He turned on his cell phone and was immediately plucked from his thoughts when he saw that he missed 14 calls from his boss between when dinner began last night up until now. He retrieved 10 angry voice mails, the last one simply shouting, “God damn it, Jack!!” then a hang up.
Deciding that it was a good idea to call his boss back before he got ready for the day of Hawaiian hiking, he dialed the number, “Yo, sorry boss man, I was tied up…. well not literally.” Jack laughed at his own joke.
“Funny Ashford, where the hell have you been? I have been calling you since last night; damn phone was going straight to voicemail.” John Stevenson, Jack’s boss, barked.
“I was entertaining a certain Ms. Woods last night and did not want to be disturbed so I shut my phone off,” he explained.
“Damn it, Jack. You were not sent to the conference to conquer yet another hot piece of ass. You have a job to do, so get it done, do you hear me? And stop turning your phone off!” he screamed and then hung up without saying good bye.
◆◆◆
At 7:32 am, Jack heard a soft knock on his door. He opened it to see Berkleigh standing there, face appeared to be glowing. Jack credited that to their mind-blowing sex together the night before.
She was wearing tiny black shorts, a pink tank top that highlighted her breasts and tiny waist and Nike running shoes, ready for their hike. She wore her sunglasses on top of her head, her hair flowing around her shoulders.
Jack could see that below her tank top she wore a bright, peach-colored bikini top. The color made Jack think of the panties she wore the evening before as part of her strip tease
He opened the door further to signal her to come in and she did. He sat down and put on his tennis shoes. As he tied the laces, Berkleigh watched quietly thinking about those hands exploring every part of her body.
“Ready?” Jack asked.
“Yes! I looked up where we are going online…it looks incredible!”
Jack grabbed a bag filled with a swimsuit and a couple of towels, opened the door for Berkleigh and they walked together holding hands to the elevator. Neither cared if they ran into any of their banking clients anymore.
As they exited the lobby, Jack’s rental was waiting for them.
Jack took down the soft top and they stopped at a little breakfast café before they started their day at the national park that boasted the refreshing Seven Sacred Pools.
As they arrived at the park, the parking lot did not seem to be overly crowded. I hope we have the trail to ourselves and maybe even one of the freshwater pools! Jack thought.
They began their 4-mile hike on a path that was bordered with all shades of green complimented with Hawaiian flowers that smelled sweet in the air.
Jack grabbed Berkleigh by the waist at one point and turned her around for a passionate kiss; Berkleigh moaned and went deeper into the kiss.
“What was that for?” she smiled flirtatiously.
“I’m glad we met in the elevator the first day, I have really enjoyed all of this time we’ve spent together,” he reflected.
“That’s sweet. I glad we met, too and I have definitely enjoyed all of the things we’ve done, especially last night,” she smiled coyly.
He held her hand as they continued the hike; they crossed a couple of bridges. They came upon one freshwater pool after another surrounded with palm trees and tropical plants.
They took the private time they had on their hike to learn even more about one another and Jack finally worked up the nerve to invite Berkleigh to visit him in Virginia. “Look, we barely know each other but we only have a couple of days left here. I was wondering if you would consider visiting me in Virginia?” Jack inquired, “I would love to smoke ribs, drink beer and sit on my back patio with you and maybe,” he paused, “give us the opportunity for us to get to know each other better. I know it’s crazy soon but…” he trailed off and looked down while metaphorically kicking himself for even bringing it up. Real smooth… you’re going to scare her away.
“Beer, BBQ and you? Who would turn that down?” she teased trying to ease his discomfort. She was flattered that he didn’t want this to simply be some Hawaiian ‘fling’. She smiled sweetly, “In all sincerity, I think it would be fun to come visit you and continue to get to know you better.”
“Great. How about we figure out when will work for our schedules before the conference ends?” he asked eagerly.
Berkleigh batted her eyelashes, “I don’t know how you top last night though.”
“Oh, trust me…you haven’t seen anything yet.” His promise full of heat.
“That would be wonderful, Jack,” she said sweetly, batting her dark eyelashes.
“I’m hoping it will be in the next week or two at the latest,” Jack stated with some urgency.
“When we get back to the hotel, why don’t we figure out the dates and I will book my flight?”
“Sounds good.”
They crossed a couple of shallow streams by hopping rocks and then they came to a forest full of bamboo so thick that it canceled out quite a bit of daylight. As the forest thinned out, they found themselves standing before the 400 ft. high waterfall, Waimoku Falls. “Oh my God, it’s breathtaking!” Berkleigh exclaimed.
“Almost as breathtaking as you,” he whispered in her ear as he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, both amazed by the wondrous cascade.
No other tourists were around to appreciate the roaring sound or the impressive beauty of it all.
“Want to swim with me?”
“Swim in a pool catching the most amazing waterfall I’ve laid eyes on with most handsome man I have ever seen? Who would pass that up?” she said playfully.
He looked around to ensure they were the only ones in the area then began to undress and change into his swimsuit.
Berkleigh laughed with disbelief about his lack of modesty but she stole herself a peek of what she had deep inside of her last night. Instantly, the heat spread throughout her body. She undressed but had her very sexy bikini on underneath and Jack watched every move she made.
“Daddy likey,” he
joked light-heartedly.
“Thank you, ‘daddy’,” Berkleigh replied laughing. She enjoyed Jack’s sense of humor.
They made their way toward the pool. Jack pulled Berkleigh into the freshwater pool along with him and she screamed playfully.
He immediately untied her top and threw it on the ground near where their entered.
“What are you doing?” she asked nervously. “Someone could show up here any time and we wouldn’t even hear them.”
“Relax, Berk. Trust me, you will find being topless exhilarating, so will I, might I add?” he teased back.
Berkleigh had her arms wrapped around Jack’s neck. They kissed as Jack made the casual descent further into the refreshing, cold water.
Jack was right, there was something exciting about being topless and knowing someone could catch them at any time. The feel of the cool water on her bare breasts made her nipples hard.
The water was cold, but the temperature was heating up between them as he took them slowly and deeper into the water. Something about this leisurely movement into the water reminded Berkleigh of how Jack moved slowly but deep inside of her only a few short hours ago. The memory forced a moan from her that was barely loud enough to be heard over the sound of the cascading water. As they pulled apart from their kiss, Berkleigh could see the fire of passion blazing in Jack’s eyes. His hard erection prodding against her inner thighs that were wrapped around his waist conveyed just how hungry he was for her.
Holding her with his left arm, Jack trailed her naked breasts with his right hand, following the line of her toned abs and down to between her legs. He glided her bikini bottom to the side, felt how slippery she was and inserted one finger then another. Berkleigh let out a whimper. Feeling euphoric, she buried her face in his neck and moaned his name as he worked her with his fingers. Even in the water, Jack could tell how wet she had become, lubricating herself for his rock-hard bulge.
“Let me inside of you, Berk,” he pleaded in a low intense voice, “just for a little. I swear I don’t have anything and I won’t come inside of you.”
Caught up in the charge of adrenaline and heat of the moment, she whispered, “Yes.”
She felt Jack working his erection out the front of his swimsuit, it sprung free ambitiously. Jack prodded around for only a second then he easily slipped his stiff cock into her and began to slide in and out, going deeper inside with every push. Berkleigh cried out in pure ecstasy, her hips moving in sync to maximize the depth of his penetration.
“Easy,” he murmured, “I’m not ready to have to pull out of you yet but you have me on the edge, Berk.”
She stopped moving, looking at the fire of raw desire in Jack’s eye. She leaned down and kissed his mouth passionately making him grunt, his insatiable appetite couldn’t get enough of her.
He held her hips down with his strong hands to adventure as deep inside of her as he could go. Her hips were back in motion and she cried out his name as she came all over his bare cock.
He was on the edge but wanted to make sure she was fully satisfied before he pulled out. He came into the water as he moaned with his release while holding her close as a reminder of the carnal effect she had on him.
As they both came to their senses, they looked around and were grateful that nobody had shown up to view the wondrous Waimoku Falls during their passionate rendezvous.
Time stood still before either said anything. The electrical charge they both felt was so powerful that they couldn’t resist one another.
Jack leaned down and kissed Berkleigh’s pretty neck, “Wow, that was, umm-unexpected. Incredible, but unexpected.”
“Yeah, not something I would normally do that’s for sure. You have this crazy appealing thing going on,” she laughed again, “it’s kind of hard to resist…apparently.”
He now laughed and pulled her into him so her bare breasts were touching his chest.
“How about we go retrieve my top before someone shows up? Thanks for bringing me to such a romantic place, by the way,” feeling grateful he wanted to share this experience with her. She looked up at the waterfall again. Most romantic date ever, she thought, and the steamiest, too!
They ascended through the water as the water reached waist level, Jack expected Berkleigh to cover up her bare breasts, however she exited the water uncovered and with what appeared to be some newfound confidence. Not that she was lacking any to begin with, but it seemed heightened. She is so damn sexy, it’s driving me crazy.
They dried off with the towels Jack was so thoughtful to bring and changed back into their hiking clothes.
Berkleigh couldn’t take her eyes of the mystical waterfall; it was as though it contained a strong energy that pulled her to it. Mesmerized by how she was taken to another world when Jack had started touching her while they swam together. Berkleigh’s almost completely naked body was blanketed in deep aqua blue, refreshingly cold water while embraced in Jack’s magnificently strong arms. It was beyond exhilarating. It was magical and took her to another place, one that she didn’t want to leave. They started on the path lined in greenery back to their car.
The crunching sound of their shoes over the gravel of the trail was the only noise either made as they hiked back toward the Jeep. Her body and mind conflicted with one another. A part of her loved what Jack was doing to her, another part felt frightened. She liked Jack but didn’t really know him that well. She didn’t want to get hurt, the strange phone calls were still a slight mystery, plus they live on opposite coasts. They have half a day of the conference tomorrow, and then depart tomorrow night back to their respective states. What will become of them, even if she goes through with her to visit to Virginia?
“Penny for your thoughts? You got awfully quiet,” Jack inquired sweetly.
She stopped walking, “I was just thinking about how wonderful the last few days have been. I don’t really want it to end, you know.”
Jack grabbed her hand and squeezed it, “I do know. I don’t want this to end either.” He wrapped one arm around her for a moment as they walked together down the trail.
She wondered if ‘this’ meant the few days in Hawaii or what seemed to be a developing relationship between them. She glanced one last time at the waterfall.
“Wait, let’s take our picture with the waterfall in the background,” she suggested, wanting to remember the most magical place she had ever personally experienced.
“Ok,” Jack smiled.
Berkleigh turned her iPhone camera on them. She confirmed that the waterfall and the beautiful tropical greenery were also in the picture, they smiled, and she caught that amazing moment for them. She stopped walking for a second to text it to him.
“What time is your flight tomorrow night?” Berkleigh asked him.
“I think I depart around 8 pm or so,” Jack responded.
“Yeah, my flight leaves sometime around that same time,” she nodded.
“Want a ride to the airport?” he asked.
She looked up at him underneath her long, pretty eyelashes and smiled her ever-so-charming smile, “I’d love one. Thank you. You’re always the gentleman, aren’t you?”
“Not always…” his voice trailed off and stopped talking altogether.
They held hands almost the entire walk back to the car. Jack followed Berkleigh around to the passenger side of the Jeep, opened the door for her and helped her get in. He tossed the bag with his swimsuit and towels into the back seat. They headed back to the hotel.
As they pulled in, Jack looked at the clock, it was only noon, “We have plenty of sun left, want to hit the pool and have lunch with me?”
“Of course!” Nothing sounded better than a relaxing afternoon by the pool with Jack.
They both went to their respective rooms and agreed to meet outside of their doors around 12:30.

Berkleigh took the opportunity apart to freshen up. She kept her bright, peach bikini on but replaced her hiking clothes with a sexy black swimsuit cover u
p dress and her bling sandals.
She checked a few emails and then it was time to meet Jack. She appreciated that the conference offered a couple of days of free time to all the attendees. After all, who wants to sit in meetings all day, throughout the duration of their stay, while in Hawaii?
Jack was patiently waiting for Berkleigh as she exited her room. He was wearing a brown swimsuit with a pattern that had bright Hawaiian pink and white flowers, brown flip flops and a white Tommy Bahama t-shirt that had a beer, BBQ grill and cigar on the back of his t-shirt. They must’ve had Jack in mind when they came up with that t-shirt concept; she smiled admiringly at him.
“Ready for some fun in the sun?” he asked her.
“I’m so ready, let’s go relax,” she replied, “I just hope a bunch of bank people didn’t have the same idea, I’ve enjoyed the break!”
Jack’s eyes lit up mischievously and said, “I don’t know, it could be fun. I’d love to get you worked up by touching you under water. You won’t be able to squirm or show any kind of reaction.”
“Don’t even think about it!” she playfully hit him softly on the arm.
He jokingly dodged, grabbed her hand and held it as they walked toward the elevators.
They made their way through the grand lobby and down the pathway toward the pool. Just beyond the resort’s pool was the small beach that contained a few lounge chairs.
“Pool or beach? You pick,” Jack told Berkleigh.
“Let’s do the beach for a bit and then when we are ready to eat, we can come lay by the pool and order lunch,” she said decisively.
“A woman who knows what she wants! I like it,” he teased her.
She looked Jack up and down and said somewhat seductively, “Oh, trust me, I know what I want.”
“Yeah? Keep that up and I’ll pick your sexy ass up and carry you back to my room and have my way with you.”
“Hmm, very tempting, Mr. Ashford,” she provoked him, her eyes lit up at the idea of feeling Jack’s hard body against hers while he thrust in and out of her, “Let’s get some sun for a little and then I may take you up on that offer.”
