Waterfall

Javier drops us at the other end of the resort where the ATV excursion check-in stand is. Logan helps peel me off the golf cart and my heart flutters when I think of us hanging out alone together in secret, away from prying eyes and eavesdropping ears. Maddie and Kaitlyn are just waiting for something juicy to happen and I don't want to be the center of their gossipy conversation later. This is the first time I have gone on a date like this and I have no idea if I am nervous, excited or hesitant. Logan and I seem to still be hitting it off. The magic hasn't worn off yet.

He takes charge of getting us checked in and it's nice to sit back and let someone else plan something for me for once. I am not in charge of the reservation numbers or itinerary. I can just sit back and literally enjoy the ride. I look around us and see five others strapping helmets on and gearing up next to their ATVs. There is one two-seater left, and I am assuming I will be straddling Logan on the back. He walks over to me to have me fill out a waiver on an iPad and then shoves a helmet onto my head.

"Can't have you falling off and breaking your head," he tells me as I hand him the iPad. 

"Yeah, I'd like to enjoy the rest of my time here and not be terrified of off-roading vehicles for the rest of my life," I say in agreement and then our guide is waving us over to go through the safety speech. It's basic don't-be-an-idiot reminders and I trust Logan guiding us over sand. Once we are cleared to mount the ATV, Logan looks at me and asks, "I thought it was just going to be me today, but they were able to upgrade me to a two-seater. I hope that's okay?"

"If you're okay that I am crashing your adventure, I'm cool. These long rides hurt my hands after a while anyway." He nods before patting me on the helmet like a good girl. He then ties a bandana around my neck which I guess we get to keep once we are done, and then adjusts the shield on my helmet so I can see properly. I know I am fully capable of doing all of this myself, but I decided I'm going to lean into the date vibes and let him take care of me. I'm a pampered princess today instead of queen bitch.

He swings his leg over the seat and turns the engine on. I hop on and fit myself behind him. It is hot and sticky, so I am bound to be a sweaty mess with my body heat up against his. He pats my thigh and over the roar of the engine yells, "You good?" I give him a thumbs up and he moves in line with the others. I'm pretty stoked to get to explore the waterfall and I might jump off the cliff depending on the height.

Our guide leads us down a zig-zag of sandy hills covered in mossy weeds with the shoreline in front of us, giving us an amazing view of the ocean. I manage to snap a few pictures and I can see the cliffs they are leading us to off in the distance. Logan asks if I want to switch when we are about a half hour in and I eagerly swap places with him. He snakes his arm around my torso (which is so unnecessary seeing we are going slightly faster than crawling) when I lurch forward but I feel the heat between my thighs. It's been a while since someone has held me and I am no longer flushed from just the heat.

His hands eventually fall to my thighs and I feel every inch of him on my back as we roll closer to the cliffs. His chest is warm and I am very aware of how close he is sitting behind me with me tucked between his long legs. I suddenly see Logan's arm shoot out with his phone in his hand and he takes a photo of us. I watch as he videos the coastline and the water is a light shimmering blue with bright white waves lapping against the sand. This is definitely the best way I have explored a beach.

"It's beautiful," I shout out and he quickly snaps a photo of me. I shake my head as I hear him laugh behind me.

We manage to make it to the cliff without switching and my legs are sore after we dismount. Our whole group stretches out after taking their helmets off and then we follow behind our guide to hike into the cliffs. Logan walks next to me and as he's texting says, "I'm telling Chase we got caught up with work and will meet them at the pool when they get back."
