the loudness of the water dropping around her. He climbed into the water with her and reached his hands under the stream coming from above. They joined their hands together and laughed like kids as they got soaking wet. Before she knew it, Erica had managed to get her perfectly coiffed hair wet too. “Oh, man! I messed up my hair!”
     
    “You look beautiful,” he said smiling at her with a heated look in his eyes. His hands reached up to frame her face as he stared at her for a moment before leaning in to kiss her gently on her lips. When he pulled back, keeping his hands in place, he looked into her eyes again as if searching for permission.
     
    “Do that again,” she whispered as he covered her mouth with his in the most passionate kiss of her life. Never had she felt so overcome from a simple kiss. He pulled her closer as if he couldn’t get her close enough. A tangle of lips and tongues, they kissed under the waterfall until both were breathless.
     
    “Wow…” he said as he pulled back and looked at her.
     
    “Yeah. Wow…” she said back with a smile. “That was…”
     
    “Amazing,” he said finishing her sentence.
     
    “Then, let’s do it again,” she said giggling as she pulled him in closer for another lengthy kiss.
     
     

Chapter 8
     
    For the next week, Dylan and Erica spent a lot of time together getting to know each other better. There were more kisses, of course, along with more dates to interesting places. As the end of her trip started to approach, Erica worried about going back to her normal routine. Being with Dylan was so easy and effortless she didn’t know if she could go back to the monotony of her job and her life. It had kept her up all night as she went over every bit of her trip and every possible ending to their week-long love affair.
     
    “Good morning!” she heard him say as he walked through the back door and into her kitchen holding grocery bags. He came and went as he pleased, and it was a comfortable feeling for her.
     
    “Did you bring those over in the kayak?” she asked laughing as she looked out the back window.
     
    “I sure did,” he said as he started to unload them onto the counter.
     
    “Whatcha got there?” she asked smiling as she saw a bunch of ingredients.
     
    “Well, I’ve got the makings of a fantastic pot roast meal here. And, I’ve got a pair of lips waiting right here,” he said pointing to the full, luscious lips she’d become so accustomed to kissing each day.
     
    Erica wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a passionate kiss as he pushed her back against the counter. Lifting her up for better access, he pulled her in for another deep kiss. Erica’s mind started to race as she thought about how fast her feelings were developing for Dylan. Getting spooked by her own confused thoughts, she pulled back and jumped down from the counter leaving Dylan breathless and confused.
     
    “What’s wrong?” he asked as she walked a few feet away.
     
    “I’m sorry,” she said looking down and feeling bad for breaking the mood.
     
    “Did I do something?” he asked walking toward her.
     
    “Oh, yeah. You did something alright. You got me all flustered,” she said with a slight smile.
     
    “I don’t understand…”
     
    “Look, Dylan, I really like you. I mean I’m starting to like you a little too much, if you know what I mean.”
     
    “How can you like me too much? Isn’t that a good thing?”
     
    “No, because I have to go back to my regular life in a few days, and I can’t get attached to a man who lives two hours away. You might as well be a world away.” The whining in her voice took her by surprise.
     
    “Erica, it’s okay. We’ll make it work somehow. Let’s not ruin the rest of your time here over silly fears,” he said taking both of her hands and kissing them gently.
     
    “You don’t know me very well, but I can’t just fly by the seat of my pants. I have to know what’s happening
