      "Want to head back?" Dan asks from where he's treading near the rock ledge. "Sure." I smile and slide into the water, going under for a second to get my hair out of my face.

      Dan smiles and leads the way back again after take a breath. I watch him disappear under water and take a breath too, ducking under. I open my eyes and try to keep sight of his feet and or legs as we swim back through the dark water, but soon I can see a faint light ahead.

      Dan swims up through the hole first, momentarily cutting off all the light. I follow and swim upwards, grabbing onto the side of the pond and taking a breath. Dan climbs out and I lift myself up after him, laying out on the smooth rock.

      He sits down next to me carefully again. I take a hair band and tie my wet hair up in a bun so it's not all over the place, per usual. After Dan turns to me, "what do you wanna do now?"

A mischievous feeling washes over me as I'm suddenly very aware of Dan's clothing, or... lack there of. I bite my lip and smirk, "What do YOU wanna do?"

Dan's face goes bright red, but there's an excited glint in his eye. He doesn't say anything and leans in to kiss me. Our lips lock and he laces a hand in my hair, laying me back and positioning himself on top of me.

"Dan.." I whisper his name while he kisses my neck. A cold hand slips under the elastic of my underwear and slides them off of my legs. I dig my fingers into his back and kiss him passionately, unhooking my bra and tossing it to the side. Dan holds my body against his and spreads my legs gently.

I moan loudly when he presses into me. Sweat gathers between our bodies as he moves back and forth, picking up speed. Dan nibbles my neck gently and I pull at his hair, whimpers escaping me. He kisses me hard through heavy breaths.

Dan grabs both of my hands and pins them against the ground beneath us. I tilt my head back as he goes harder, biting my lip to stop myself from being too noisy. A few minutes later he finishes, moaning loudly through a kiss. He rolls off of me, both of us breathless.

I grin and lay on my back, looking up at the stars. Abandoning my now soaked underwear I put on my shorts and t-shirt again while dan dresses too. "Ready to go?" Dan asks, and I nod. We're about to start walking back through the woods when I rustle comes from nearby bushes.

"What the hell was that?" I whip around to face Dan and he shrugs. "I dunno." Another rustling sound and someone steps out of the bushes. I back up a few feet and stand next to Dan. "Wayne? What the hell are you doing out here?" It takes me a moment to realize that it is Wayne.

"Guess I could ask you how the same. What are you guys, wild animals?" Wayne asks and grins glancing at something by my foot. I look down I realize that I didn't pick up the rest of my clothes. "We went swimming." Dan explains quickly but I can tell Wayne doesn't buy it. "C'mon you two sound like a bunch of animals." I feel my face turn pink.

      "What time did you two plan on coming home anyway?" Wayne asks as we start waking back down the trail. "Right about now, actually." Dan answers, bringing up the rear. I don't say anything as the cars come into view.
