Max’s lips were heated on hers. How the man stayed so warm was beyond her, but she’d take it. With his shirt off, her hands roamed the peaks and valleys of his shoulders and abs. His moan encouraged her on until he pressed her back against the rough rock. Yeah, not happening.

She pushed him back a bit. “It’s a little cramped up here if you haven’t noticed.”

His eyes never left hers. “Nope, didn’t notice.” He took her lips again, his hunger growing hers.

Giggling, she said, “Max,” and he sighed. “When we get back to the plane and have a dry place to sit, we’ll see about continuing this.”

His eyes lit up. “Really?”

God, he could be so funny when he wanted to. She glanced past the overhand and saw the rain had stopped. “Hey. Look. We can go now.”

His head swung around. “Really?” He was up and on his feet before she could say another word. Kara shook her head, wearing a smile. While Max put his shirt on, smothered the fire, and cleaned the small space, she looked down the muddy slope.

“Holy shit,” she said, “the stream is now a river.” With the swift moving water flowing over the sides of the banks, there was no way they could return to camp the same way they’d come. She stepped out to look around the entrance to see if they could go down the other side.

“Kara,” Max called, “wait for me.”

“I’m not going any—” Her slick-bottomed shoe slipped out from her weight. She grasp onto the rock but found no hand hold. “Max!” she yelled. He lunged toward her, arm extended. She latched onto his wrist, but he had nothing to anchor himself. Together they slid down the hill and off the cliff, plunging into the raging water.

Oh god, Kara thought, not water again. At least she didn’t have to worry about sharks. Just rocks bashing her head, sticks poking through her body, waterfalls crushing her to the bottom, and breathing. Sharks seemed preferable, almost.

“Kara!” She heard Max somewhere behind her. Trying to look over her shoulder, a dip in the flow dunked her under. She swallowed a mouthful of muddy water and came up spitting.

“Max!” Even if he couldn’t see her, he’d know she was alive and fighting. Slowly, she worked her way closer to the side. Ahead, they were coming to the forest where the water slammed into the trunk then flowed around. Her body would not like to be introduced to the native birches.

The only way to make it through without becoming a pinball was to be one with the water. She lay back, feet first, becoming the rushing current. In theory, she would go with the flow sending her around obstacles. In theory. The hard part was keeping her head above the swirling, splashing, water.

Holding her breath, she glided around tree trunks as wide as her body. Debris slammed into her from all sides. Whirlpools threatened to snatch her in and send her to the bottom with little hope of coming up.
