“Yes, Paradise,” Cara repeated as she closed her eyes and leaned back against the rim. She submerged most of her body in the dark water, not wanting her breasts or at least her nipples to be exposed. She felt a sudden surge of a tingling energy flow over the face of the water and she opened her eyes. Staring at her were eyes that glowed neon pink out of the dimness of the cave. Something about the magenta rings around the iris burned full of  desire and emotion. Cara felt her own body respond. Any memory of the burning cabin and its dead inhabitants faded away until all she felt were pulsing sensations that left her breathless.<br/><br/>“Ummm, nice cave, “Cara said, unsure of how to proceed at this point. She felt as if she would thoroughly enjoy some recreational sex right about now, but had no idea how Winter felt about that. The communication barrier was still there between them, and Cara wasn’t exactly willing to send a mental image about what she was fantasizing about.  “You really picked out a nice place to stay,”<br/><br/>Cara licked her lips as the hot water splashed her face as it swirled around her. Ruffling her hair and getting it wet, she looked at the stalactites on the ceiling of the cave and at the sparkling gemstones that were held captive in the rock. She examined the waterfall but looking back at those eyes was her downfall. Speechless, Cara stared at the impossibly beautiful man who was naked just a few short feet away from her. She didn’t know if he found her as attractive as she did him, oh hell, who was she kidding? His eyes were drawing her in, like a rabbit to a cobra and Cara wanted to go to him and wrap her legs around him and see how high he could make her fly.<br/><br/>Still something held her back. Magic seemed to be flowing through the cave now, nearly humming with electric energy. Tension was running high and Cara felt as if every nerve ending was standing on end.
