Melendez closed the trunk of his Tesla as Lim buckled herself into the front passenger's seat. Melendez got into the driver's seat and leaned over to kiss Lim, "So do you think Andrews is suspicious about both of us taking off Thursday and Friday?" asked Lim with a mischievous grin.

"Does it matter at this point?" he smirked back.

Lim shook her head and kissed him once again, "I have everything I need sitting right next to me."

"Good," Melendez turned on the ignition, "Next stop, Sequoia National Park."

"Mm. Four days of hiking, picnicking, stargazing, and…" she winked at him and he winked back, "I also packed some special outfits for this trip."

Melendez shifted in his seat a little and Lim smiled proudly to herself knowing she was getting to him, "Don't toy with me woman."

"Why? Am I already getting to you?" she asked seductively.

"Unless you want to make love right here in this Tesla, then you need to tone down the sexy talk," Melendez warned, though Lim knew he wanted her to continue.

"It's such a shame that you don't want me to continue. We're already in such a secret relationship and making out in a Tesla such as yours would only add to the thrill and recklessness. Kind of like if we were in high school."

Melendez turned off the ignition and leaned over into the passenger's seat, smashing his lips against hers, "To hell with it. Check in isn't until 3:00 anyway."

They both continued their make-out session and Lim could feel her heart racing (in a good way). She had never thought she could love someone so much, and certainly hadn't ever thought that someone would be Neil Melendez. Honestly, if someone would have told her ten years ago she'd be in the front seat of a Tesla making out with him, she would have laughed in that person's face. But now, things were different. Somehow over the years, they actually became best friends. Somehow over the years, she had actually managed to develop feelings for the cocky surgeon. And now, she had somehow fallen deeply in love with him. And the same had happened to him with her, "Neil," she moaned his name.

They kissed a few more moments before she pushed him off, "What?" asked Melendez.

Lim smiled and said, "We should really get going. The sooner we get there, the sooner we'll have a private cabin to ourselves out in the middle of nowhere. We can be as wild and as loud as we want."

"Fair point," Melendez quickly turned on the ignition again and pulled out of the driveway.

It was mid-afternoon by the time the couple arrived at Sequoia National Park. Melendez checked in at the main registration building before they drove to their cabin. Melendez unlocked the front door and Lim walked inside, looking around the room, "I still can't believe you managed to book the Honeymoon Cabin. We're not even on a honeymoon," she said.

"Well, we're on our first getaway as a couple. That counts right?" asked Melendez.

"I'll give you that," she flopped onto the bed. Melendez put their bags down on the floor and put some things in the mini-fridge before he lied down next to her, to which Lim resumed their kiss from the driveway, "Audrey…"

"I promised you I'd be all yours once we got here, so fuck me you asshat!" she demanded.

"As you wish," he said.

They kissed some more before Melendez briefly stopped and stroked her cheek, "Say it once; get it out of your system," she teased.

"You're the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on."

"Alright, that's enough. Now let's show that buck his natural habitat, shall we?" Lim asked and yanked off Melendez's t-shirt, throwing it across the room. She gazed at his fit physique before she whispered, "I love you."

"I love you too. Now if you don't mind, I want to show you in some specific ways," he grinned.

"Be my guest," she said and sat up so he could remove her jacket and shirt, "You…are…so…damn…sexy," she drew out each and every word.

"And I'm yours," he confirmed.

"Yes. You are mine. All mine and mine alone," she agreed. She had never thought about committing to one individual before now. Even when she married Kashal, she had really only married him because she had been old in regard to marriage by Taiwanese standards and her family had expected her to have a husband by the time she was thirty. So to be honest, she had married Kashal to shut up her family and society.

After her divorce, she had wanted nothing more than to move on and ask Neil out on a date. Then came those dreaded words, "I finally gained the courage to ask Jessica Preston out!" She didn't think Melendez and Jessica were that serious. She always thought he was trying to gain rank at the hospital by being sweet on the founder's granddaughter so Glassman would like him better. Whatever. She had gone through a six pack of cheap beer later that night.

Now, it was different though. Kashal and Jessica were both out of the picture. It was just her and Neil. Her Neil. As they got more and more into it, her dominant instincts began to take over her, so she flipped Melendez onto his back and ripped off his pants and underwear before getting to work. One thing Melendez found extremely attractive about Lim was her take charge attitude (it was annoying sometimes when they were butting heads at work, but in the bedroom, it meant she got the job done for both of them). Lim took her time savoring Melendez's juices before she took her pants and underwear off and crawled on top of him, "Sit up on your elbows a little bit and I can make sure we climax at the same time," she whispered in his ear.

Her deep, seductive voice made him get hard and he propped himself up on his elbows a little bit, "I'm going to hold you to that, Lim."

She gave him a wicked grin before she began to grind her hips against him, going harder and faster as she went on. Melendez's position was just perfect so that her clit would brush against him every time she moved her hips, "Damn Audrey. How did you come up with this idea?"

"What? You think you're the only person who knows how to Google things on how to please their significant other?" she moaned as her orgasm continued to build, "Shit, you feel so good."

"Same," he groaned as he laid his hands on her hips to feel the motion. And Lim hadn't been lying when she talked about being loud. It was a good thing no other cabins were around. He felt himself coming as well and felt himself release inside of her as he cried out her name, though Lim's loud 'FUCK' also told him she had climaxed as well. A few moments later, both Melendez's and Lim's arms gave out, so Melendez collapsed flat on his back with Lim falling on top of him, both of them panting and sweating and breathing hard. Finally, out of the blue, Melendez said, "I didn't know you knew your stuff that well."

Lim chuckled and laid her head against his chest, "Just like you said you're full of surprises for the women you love, I'll be full of surprises for the man I love," she leaned up and kissed him.

"Well, that you were," Melendez kissed the top of her head.

"Told you I'd do a good job and that it would be better sex than in your Tesla in your driveway," Lim gave a huge grin and glanced at the time, "Well, we should start getting ready to head over to one of the restaurants for dinner. I don't know about you, but I worked up an appetite."

Melendez observed her a little while longer as he watched Lim pull on her jeans and t-shirt before he said, "As long as you promise to do that again when we get back."

She zipped her jeans and sat down on the bed next to him. She gave him a long kiss before she said, "Abso-fucking-lutely."
