The touch of his fingers on the back of her neck, the feel of his lips on hers, the taste of his tongue as it gently invaded her mouth, brought an onslaught to her senses that was magical.  When she heard him groan, a moan escaped her own lips as well.  Goodness, it had been a very long time since Marti had felt like this.  She placed her hand on his chest, not to push him away, but to feel the beat of his heart, pounding erratically, as it were, and matched her own rapid firing pulse.<br/><br/>When he lifted his head, ending the kiss, the smile on Marti's face reached her eyes.  The hopeful look he found there was bright and shiny, like a new penny.  When he asked her if she still wanted to go swimming, there was a part of her, that wanted to throw her arms around his neck, and beg him to make love with her.  There was also the more cautious part of her, that needed to know more about this man.  She had never been one to jump into bed with a man on the first date, and she wasn't going to start now, Paradise or not!<br/><br/>Her hand went from his chest, to stroke his cheek, and she smiled softly at him.  "Yes, Jeremiah, I still want to go swimming.  This is only the first day of our vacation, we have time to explore our other interests as well."  With that, she settled back into her seat, and reached for the seatbelt, clicking it into place.  Glancing at him, she giggled at the look on his face, "Let's go, Jeremiah, before I change my mind!"
