Author's Notes: Hi, readers. Here's chapter forty-two of "Dark Desire." This chapter has Tommy/Kim. There is also sexual content. As before, do not read it if it makes you uncomfortable. Otherwise, you may read at your own risk. I am putting this fic and all other Power Rangers fics on hold for a long while. I want to focus on other fandoms during that time. I feel I need a break from it since I have been writing it so much. Stay tuned for chapter forty-three.

Chapter 42: At a Waterfall Pool
Tommy and Kim sat close to the first waterfall pool's shore an hour later. They held their plates, which had eggs and passion fruit on them. A drowned-out campfire wasn't far behind them. Their backpacks were nearby. They got small amounts of fruit on their forks. They popped them into their mouths and chewed steadily. They swallowed with loud gulps.
The couple looked toward the pool. The pool happened to be large and contained rocks along the edges. The waterfall was very tall. It hit the water in the center, sending its spray everywhere. A large cave was behind the waterfall. It was covered in a thick layer of moss, especially on the floor. Tree branches overhung it.
Tommy and Kim inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly. They blinked three times before turning back to their lunch. They cut pieces of their eggs and poked their forks into them. They popped them into their mouths. They chewed at a slow yet steady pace. They swallowed, letting out loud gulps. They couldn't help but laugh lightly.
"Talk about letting out loud gulps," she blurted out in delight.
"You are telling me," he agreed. "Of course, my gulp was louder than yours was."
"It was not," Kim yelled while shaking her head rapidly.
"It was too," Tommy insisted and touched her cheek with his fork very lightly.
"It was not," Kim growled in playfulness.
"It was too," Tommy said and spoke gibberish.
"It was not," Kim yelled and babbled in a loud manner.
"It was too," Tommy shouted with a hearty laugh.
"It was not," Kim commented, emitting a quiet snort.
He put his plate and fork down to knock on her head. She laid both of hers aside to slap him upside the head. He waved his hand in front of her face. He raised his hand high, jerking it downward. She gave his cheek a light slap. He rushed two fingers forward. She blocked him by putting her hand sideways between her eyes. She pushed his downward with a small grunt. They smiled at each other.
"We just had to do that Three Stooges routine, didn't we?" Kim teased.
"Yep," Tommy replied and pinched her cheek. He spoke baby talk before clearing his throat. "We both looked so cute."
"I can't argue with that," Kim agreed and grabbed his wrist. She pulled his hand off and curled it into a fist. She proceeded to hit him with it. "Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!"
"Very funny," Tommy commented while pulling himself out of her grasp. He ruffled her hair. He laughed at her swatting his hand aside. "I wonder who came up with the stop-hitting-yourself game."
Kim shrugged. "Beats me. It is known for being used in many movies and TV shows. Of course, it is done in other ways."
"I really don't want to think about that right now," Tommy said, waving his hand in the air.
"Me neither," Kim answered and tapped her nose with her finger. She laid her hand in her lap. "At least we can do Three Stooges routines without being told to cut it out."
Tommy tickled her chin. "You are so right."
Tommy kissed his girlfriend's lips twice. He touched her cheek and stroked it with his thumb in a very light manner. He patted it gently before taking his hand into hers.
"It is nice to be able to sit at a waterfall pool with my girlfriend," Tommy whispered in much sweetness.
"I feel the same way when it comes to my boyfriend," Kim replied, giving him a kiss on the tip of his nose. They looked toward the waterfall. "This waterfall pool looks a lot like the one from Return to the Blue Lagoon."
"Richard and Lilli did a bit of their swimming in that waterfall pool," Tommy said, putting their hands in his lap. "After Lilli woke up with her first menstrual period, she went there to wash some clothes. Richard came to see her. She asked if he remembered Sarah telling her about becoming a woman. He admitted he did. She revealed she had become one. He looked quite thrilled."
"Richard woke up with an erection the next morning. Lilli wanted to see it, but he wouldn't let her because he was embarrassed. He yelled about how nothing was the way it used to be. They got into an argument regarding privacy and their late mother's rules," Kim explained.
"Richard went off to the other side of the island one night," Tommy commented and bit his lip. "He discovered a group of natives used the altar to sacrifice conquered enemies every full moon. He camouflaged himself with mud and hid from them. Lilli worried about his disappearance. He got away unscathed, but a lone native saw him. When he returned to her, she begged him to never leave her again. They made up from their fight and realized they were in love. He said he wanted them to be husband and wife. She agreed. They exchanged wedding vows and rings the next day."
She sighed in content. "If only all weddings could be done out in nature."
"I know," Tommy murmured and put his arm around her. He gave her a small hug before rubbing her arm. "I think more marriages would last longer if couples would focus on the work that goes into them instead of trying to impress people with their weddings."
"Couples will divorce at the first sign of trouble. They want perfect relationships like in the movies," Kim mumbled, rolling her eyes. "Relationships aren't problem-free. They can go through lots of rough patches."
"You have to be willing to work through those patches. Unfortunately, many couples don't want to even try. They divorce or break up instead," Tommy said, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Mom knew several women who divorced their husbands as soon as they got bored with them. Two were divorced five times in nine years," Kim admitted.
"Damn. Those women are crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if they made their ex-husbands out to be really bad men. Then their future husbands vowed to protect them," Tommy exclaimed.
"Oh, all that happened," Kim said, scoffing in anger. "When they demanded divorce, their husbands were shocked. They asked why. Their wives simply said they were bored with them and found something better."
"What hoes," Tommy muttered, shuddering in disgust.
"You said it," Kim said, nodding sharply. "People shouldn't get married if they can't get along. Their constant fighting would make each other miserable. If they had any children, it would affect them too."
He kissed her temple. "Children of divorce often don't come out unscathed. Their parents continue to be at each other's throats, especially when it comes to how they should raise them."
Kim pressed her lips together. She recalled stories Daryl and Caroline told her about their divorced friends having arguments on how to raise their children. She remembered three sets of parents dragging each other into family court over stupid stuff such as what movies their children could watch and who would take them trick-or-treating. She knew they couldn't care less about their well-being and that they only cared about being right.
Tommy let go of Kim and pushed her bangs out of her eyes. They spotted a scarlet macaw flying over the pool not far from them. It landed on a branch overhanging the pool's right side. It ran its beak through the feathers of its right wing. It repeated its action with those in its left wing. It bobbed its head before emitting a soft squawk. It looked down at the water. They couldn't help but smile.
"We are so lucky to be able to watch rainforest animals move around," she commented.
"Earth's rainforests contain many plant and animal species. Not all of them have been discovered," he replied.
"Just when researchers think they've learned everything about the rainforest, they discover something new about it," Kim yelled joyfully.
"In many cases, they discover new species of plants and animals," Tommy said, cupping his chin in his hand. He formed a small frown. "Unfortunately, some species were already endangered by the time they received names."
"At the rate Earth's rainforests are being cut down, they will be gone before researchers discover all their species," Kim muttered sadly and felt her body shake some. "The indigenous tribes that rely on rainforests for their very survival. If the rainforests are gone, they will have nowhere to go."
"Of course, 'civilized' people say that the indigenous can just adapt to the modern world. It is downright difficult for them to adjust to something new," Tommy pointed out bluntly. "Many indigenous tribes don't want to modernize. They want to be left alone."
"It is hard to feel sorry for people who enter their off-limits territories with the intention of preaching about the modern world and end up getting killed," Kim hissed in fierceness. "I do feel sorry for their families, though."
"Me too," Tommy agreed and looked down at his plate. "We should finish our lunch and wash our plates and forks, so we can go swimming."
"Sure. I bet I will finish before you will," Kim teased with a smirk.
"Yeah, right," Tommy retorted playfully. They grabbed their plates and proceeded to finish their lunch.
00000
Kim watched Tommy dip a plate into the water while sitting on a rock on the pool's right side an hour later. He had his feet in the water. He cleaned the plate of the egg and fruit residue with a rag. He took it out and laid it next to the other plate. He got both forks, dipping them into the water. He proceeded to clean them. He heard her chuckling and looked at her.
"It's not every day a guy volunteers to do dishes," Kim said.
"I don't mind at all," Tommy answered, turning back to the forks. "Besides, men should know how to cook and clean. Their girlfriends or wives can die without warning."
"It is be possible to survive on just TV dinners, but it isn't healthy. Some of those dinners pack a whole day's worth of fat in them," Kim said, tensing a bit.
"Some big soft drinks contain three hundred forty calories and one hundred grams of sugar in them," Tommy said, shuddering in disgust. "Drinking one of those every day would give anyone type-two diabetes just like that."
"It is likely they would need dentures too," Kim added.
"Oh, yeah," Tommy replied and snorted. "When people get their dentures, they can brag to their friends they have pearly whites again."
"Of course, they have to take those 'pearly whites' out when they go to bed," Kim said and made a weird noise.
He huffed. "Yep. They are determined to keep them looking good by brushing them every day."
She chuckled to herself. "That is pretty easy because they can brush them while holding each denture."
Tommy finished cleaning the forks and took them and the rag out of the water. He grabbed the plates before looking at Kim happily.
"The dishes are all clean," he announced.
"Great," she squealed. "Now, let's get them in our backpacks, so we can go swimming."
"Just don't let the dishes come to life and eat us," Tommy teased and winked at her twice.
"Very funny," Kim retorted in mock annoyance. She waved her hand toward herself. "Now, come on. Time is wasting away."
The lovebirds stood up with loud grunts. They headed over to their backpacks. They unzipped their backpacks, placing their dishes inside. They zipped them shut before going toward the water. They stopped close to it.
"I know how I want to swim in this pool," Kim whispered and emitted a soft sigh.
"How?" Tommy wondered.
"I want to do skinny-dipping," Kim said, turning to him.
"I say that is an excellent idea," Tommy said and tickled her chin. "You look so sexy when you are naked." He let out a loud wolf-whistle.
She pressed two kisses to his lips. "You do too. Now, let's stop talking and get to swimming."
He laughed. "Yeah!"
Tommy and Kim shared three kisses before looking toward the water. He took off his shirt, as did she with hers. They tossed them to the ground. He undid his bottom and took it off. He tossed it aside before running his hand over his face. She undid her bottom, removing it. She threw it over her shoulder and stretched her arms above her head.
He watched her pull her hair behind her neck. She ran her fingers through it three times while sighing contently. He couldn't help but stare at her. He thought she became sexier every time he saw her naked. It didn't matter if it was here or anywhere. He felt himself become very hard. He went over to her, grabbing her. He threw her to the ground, smiling at her grunting. He got on top of her and slipped between her legs. He took hold of her wrists to pin them at her sides. They stared into each other's eyes. Their hearts pounded against their chests so hard that it seemed they would leap out of their chests and land next to them any second.
"You just had to jump me, didn't you?" Kim asked in a teasing manner.
"Yeah," Tommy said in seduction. "You are so sexy that I couldn't help myself. I need you right now."
Tommy and Kim kissed passionately. Their tongues dueled each other for control. They emitted loud groans. He nuzzled her jaw before tracing it with his tongue. He nibbled on it gently. He kissed down to her neck and proceeded to suck on it. She leaned her head back while sighing ecstatically. Electricity went up and down their spines. It raced through their veins at such a rapid rate that it seemed it wouldn't stop.
He kissed his girlfriend with much possession. He plunged his tongue into her mouth, smiling against it when she groaned. He made his way down to her neck. He bit down on it very hard. She moaned softly when he licked at it. She became louder at his sucking on it. She planted kisses on his shoulder. She nibbled on it before giving it a hard suck. She blew on it very gently. He growled intensely. Their hands wandered and groped everywhere. He pulled back to stare into her eyes. The familiar fire began to build within both of them.
"My love, my girlfriend," Tommy hissed.
He kissed her as he aligned his cock with her entrance. He entered her in a rough and quick manner. He started to thrust in and out of her. He was rough as well as fast. She wrapped her arms around him. She whimpered when he smothered her neck with hungry kisses. She leaned her head to the side, giving him better access. He nibbled on her earlobe in which it caused her to scream in delight. Their grunting and groaning mingled together.
"Tommy, don't you dare stop," Kim whispered seductively.
Tommy growled fiercely. "I won't, Kim. I promise you that."
Tommy kissed Kim hard while thrusting rougher and faster into her. He plunged his tongue into her mouth. He smiled against it as she moaned headily. He traced every inch of it with his tongue. He traveled down to her pulse point. He gave it a soft suck before licking at it. She kissed his shoulder and blew on it. She nibbled on it. He growled intensely while grabbing at her hair. The fire within him was building to such a strong point that he thought he would lose it right there. He didn't doubt it was doing the same in her.
He pulled away, staring into her eyes. He reached down and massaged her clit. She moaned softly yet excitedly. He thrusted rougher and faster into her. The fire in both of them was reaching its peak. He quickened his massaging her clit somewhat. She whimpered quietly as she leaned her head back. He leaned down, pressing his forehead against hers.
Tommy kissed his girlfriend very hard. His thrusts became rougher and faster. He slipped his tongue into her mouth in which it made her groan. Their climax was almost at its peak. He broke the kiss to press his forehead against hers again. She cried in much ecstasy before capturing his lips in a kiss. She plunged her tongue into his mouth.
He made three simultaneous movements from his hips and fingers. bringing them to climax without any time in between. They broke the kiss to stare into each other's eyes. Their panting became in sync. Their bodies trembled so much that it seemed that they wouldn't be able to stop. He brought his hand to her cheek. He stroked it with his thumb so lightly that it seemed he wasn't even doing that.
"Now, I am ready for a swim," he said and gave her two winks.
"Great. I wonder if we will grow gills and have the ability to breathe underwater," she replied and flicked his chin.
"I bet I will grow gills before you do," Tommy commented with a smile.
"No way," Kim yelled, shaking her head fast.
"Yes, way," Tommy said with a rapid.
Kim smacked his arm. "That's enough. Get off me right now. I want to get in the water badly."
Tommy flicked her nose. "Aye-aye, ma'am."
Tommy got off Kim and stood up. He grabbed her hands to help her to stand. He kissed her tenderly before releasing his hold on her. They wade into the water until it was up to their waist. They took deep breaths and dove underwater. They swam to the middle of the pool. They stopped to watch six fish swim above them.
Tommy and Kim looked quite awed as the fish came to them and swam around them five times. The fish headed to the front of them. They moved into a straight line from one side to the next three times. They headed up, down, sideways, and in a circle twice. They swam away somewhat quickly. Tommy and Kim couldn't help but smile.
Tommy looked toward his girlfriend. He formed a mischievous smile on his face. He squeezed her waist in which it caused her to squeal in a muffled manner. Bubbles came out of her mouth. He tickled it for ten seconds before she turned around and entwined her hands with his. They moved in circles as they headed for the surface. They broke it, laughing in much joy.
"Tommy, you just had to be a naughty boy, didn't you?" Kim joked.
"Yep," Tommy admitted proudly. "Don't you dare try to change my naughty ways. It isn't happening."
She raised her hand. "Okay. Then again, why don't you have a little bit of this?"
Kim splashed water into Tommy's face. He spit it out of his mouth and let out a playful growl. He retaliated with a splash of his own. They became engaged in a water fight. They laughed in great delight.
