to remain balanced now, Jag guiding them from the front. Her job would be to follow his guidance, a good job for her when she’d not been white water rafting before.
“Hang on, we’re not through yet. You okay?”
“Doing fine,” she shouted. Did he even hear her over the roaring waters?
They continued downstream of the River Roanoke, although she wasn’t sure where they were going exactly.
When the waters got rough, she thought she’d gotten in over her head. But they worked together to keep a steady path that led them further downstream. And once it was all over, Sammi admitted she loved the rush.
Her pulse beat, her heart galloped in her chest, and she gasped for breath once they paddled for shore. Her arms started to ache, and so did her neck from spinning around so much and looking at everything.
Jag tried to help her out of the white water raft. She hopped out, one leg stuck inside, and then tumbled into his arms.
They dropped onto the soft grass. Laughing, Sammi should’ve crawled off him, but being in his arms felt so good.
“Don’t mind me. Just catching my breath here.”
“You liked it,” he teased.
“I liked it, but I don’t know if I’d have the stomach to do it again.”
“You did fine,” he grinned as he wiped wet hair away from her eyes. The gold flecks in his green eyes were shimmering, reflecting the open skies above.
“We made it. And it was fun.”
He seemed pleased with how well she’d hung in there. They made a great team, she thought. “I’ll be honest, this was rougher than I imagined.”
They were strapped into life jackets of course. Even with them, it had been dangerous.
Sammi smiled. “I need to live a little dangerously. You might be the man who can help me with that.”
“And you might be the girl who can finally teach me math.”
She laughed again before she slapped him on the shoulder. As she tried to get up, her legs wobbled. Reaching out to grab onto anything, she toppled again but Jag caught her before she hit the ground.
“Easy there.”
“Let’s sit. Sitting is good. You had the right idea.”
They took a breather. It was beautiful here in this valley, surrounded by nature with the lush mountains rising up above them. Sammi rarely had time to visit nature anymore. The only times she did seemed to be on a documentary or in her neighborhood walking Oliver.
Jag hauled their backpacks out of the raft as she rested. But she didn’t like staying down on the ground. He helped her up and she started to strap her arms through the heavy backpack.
He nodded to the tallest mountain in the distance.
“We’re going there?” she asked incredulously.
To get to the beginning of the trail they would need to walk at least two miles through the dense woods. They’d landed at a spot off the beaten path, so they’d be cutting through wilderness until they got to an official trail.
At least, that’s what Sammi assumed. Jag told her very little about this trip.
“We’re going to rock climb up the side. You game?”
He laughed and flashed his usual hot blooded smile at her.
“I’m glad you’re kidding. I’m not on your level. If you want to climb it, I’d gladly take your picture from down below.”
“Oh, we’re not going to rock climb it, but we are going to hike it. Don’t you want to see the view from all the way up there? That’ll be our victory prize.”
“We’re going to get there today?”
“No, I wouldn’t do that to you. We’ll camp and then take it on tomorrow. Ready to head out?”
“Ready.”
After the rush of the river, she felt energized. Close to Jag, she throbbed down below and when she started to walk, she shifted her thighs uncomfortably, trying to rub that itch without being too obvious.
Ugh, she hadn’t agreed to go with Jag to fuck for the entire weekend. Her entire argument was that Jag needed to show her that he would stick around for the boring parts of the relationship. She knew he craved excitement and
