He let go of the branch he hung from, landing softly onto the gravelly earth.

"I thought you'd never get here," she said.

"Sorry. I had to--" he said, and she placed a finger to his lips.

"Doesn't matter," she smiled, and their lips met. Slowly, his lips parted, and their tongues entwined. After a minute, they broke away and smiled at each other.

"I thought you..." he said quietly, then stopped. He looked long and hard into her eyes, and she nodded. "You sure...?"

She kissed him again, and started to pull at his shirt. He returned her kiss, and broke it only to pull off his shirt. She smiled as they kissed, and ran her hands over his chest.

He ran his hands through her hair, and down her back. She stepped back, his fingers brushing her hips, and she smiled devilishly at him. She drew her arms down, and relieved him of his pants. He smiled, and did the same for her, removing her clothes. Soon, all that separated them were a single pair of undergarments and air.

Not long after another kiss, just air.

He wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her again, their tongues darting back and forth. She ran her hands down to the small of his back, and pressed herself against him. He groaned lightly, and pressed back.

He kissed her cheek, then moved down, kissing her neck. He could feel her gentle pulse through her neck, through his lips. He kissed her collar-bone gently, then moved even lower, kissing.

She ran her fingers through his hair, smiling and taking in a quick breath. She chuckled to him, and he looked up and smiled.

"After earlier, I thought..." he said quietly, and she kissed his lips again. She pulled back.

"Well don't think. That was then," she said, and trailing her fingers down over his chest, down over his stomach, down...

"This is now," she grinned. He hugged her again, her breasts crushing against him. They shared yet another deep kiss, and moved back across the sands of the Lagoon. He ran his hands across her shoulders, across her breasts. She moved forward, kissing his bottom lip. Their eyes locked, and they saw deep into each other's souls for a breif moment, it seemed.

She broke free of their embrace, and lowered into the water, exhaling slowly. She looked at him and smiled. He moved forward, to meet her in the water.

"Whoo," he said quickly. She giggled, and moved forward to kiss him again. They spun in the Lagoon water, kissing and fondling each other. Soon, their impulses tugging at their brains, they moved to the focus of their late-night rondevouz. The moon was bright, illuminating the Lagoon, illuminating both of them.

He layed her back, easing her onto the sands of the Lagoon. He kissed her, his tongue lingering on her lips, as he moved himself into possition. "You're sure?"

She moved forward, reaching out with a deep kiss and a strong hand.

"Yeah, I guess you are," he said quickly, suddenly out of breath. He moved forward, and she let out a small groan. He kissed the nape of her neck, then her shining lips, and began moving rhythmically.

She moaned, and kissed him back. She began to stir under him, moving with him. His hands moved to the small of her back, lifting her slightly, gently. He let out a groan, and began moving faster. She gasped, and moved in time.

They moved together, as one, their rhythms matched as the Lagoon's waters lapped at their legs. The moon shone bright. A perfect, romantic setting. Perfect for what they were engaged in.

He hurried his pace a little, and she took his earlobe between her lips, nibbling. He grimaced slightly, and she let out a gasp. The earlobe was forgotten, as they started hurrying up their pace. Hurrying, hurrying, soon their slow rhythm had turned into a frantic pump, back and forth.

Back and forth.

She let out a low moan.

Back and forth.

He let out a hard, long groan.

Back and forth, faster.

She gasped, bit her lip.

Faster.

His brow furrowed.

Faster.

Until...

"Ahh," she moaned, his hands squeezing her as he moved.

Until.....

He let out a low growl of passion, as she dragged her nails across his back.

Until.........

"AaaaAAAAHHHHH...!!!!"

They both let out gasps and groans, his through gritted teeth, hers through a wide-open mouth.

They collapsed against each other, all energy expended.

"So you have to go now?" he asked slowly, lying on the sands. He had his head propped up, his arms folded behind his head. She turned to him, smiling, and nodded.

"And I would think you're expected back, too," she said wryly. He chuckled to himself.

"Hey, I can most likeyly handle whatever wrath comes my way," he said, warmly, "but I definately think this was worth it."

She smiled, finishing reclothing herself.

She started towards the way she had come down to the Lagoon.

"Hey," he called. She turned around. "It was great."

"Yes it was," said Princess Tigerlily. She placed her headband over her hair, the sweat finally subsiding. She jumped into the green of forest, taking off in the night to wherever her tribe rested that night.

"Wooooh," exhaled John. "Was beginning to think I'd never get shagged again out here."
