I wrap my legs around his torso, and my hands go to his nape, toying with the hair, tickling his neck as Dominick grinds his hard length against my center.
“Fuck,” he hisses, breaking our kiss and leaning his forehead against mine as we both attempt to catch our breath. “I really do want to show you the sights.”
“I think you’re doing a great job of showing me them,” I say coyly, reaching down and cupping his cock. “The only thing better than sex is sex with a view.”
I nod toward the ocean right in front of us. Thanks to the privacy walls, we could literally have sex out here, and nobody would see us. I glance at the Jacuzzi in the corner and note that we will definitely be using it later.
“I’m serious.” He chuckles, setting me down. “We have all night to get to know each other on an intimate level, but first, I want you to see something.”

“Oh my God, this view.”
As we stand in front of the most breathtaking waterfall, I wish I had brought my phone so I could take pictures because my memory will never do it justice. Three different streams of water fall smoothly into a natural pool of water. Because it’s surrounded by nothing but lush vegetation, it creates an illusion of us being in the middle of nowhere rather than only a short drive from where we’re staying.
“It’s really something, huh?” Dominick says, never taking his eyes off me.
“Thank you for sharing this with me. I’ve never seen anything like this.”
“Well, it’s not just for looks,” he says, peeling his shirt off and tossing it onto the ground. “Let’s go swimming.”
I strip out of my shorts and shirt, toe off my flip-flops, and then take his hand in mine. We make our way into the crystal-clear water. Because it’s March, it’s in the mid-eighties, making the temperature of the water perfect. Once we’re almost to the middle, Dominick lifts me into his arms, and I wrap my thighs around his waist, holding on to him while he walks us closer to the waterfalls.
“This is stunning,” I tell him, watching as the streams fall into the plunge pool, the sound creating the perfect, soothing background noise.
“It is,” he agrees. “But it’s got nothing on you.”
I roll my eyes and scoff at his flirting. “Okay, cheesy much?”
Dominick shrugs. “Maybe, but it’s the truth.”
He moves us toward the side and leans against the rocks so he can get comfortable. Since he makes no move to release me, I stay in his arms while we watch the waterfall for several minutes in comfortable silence. Surprisingly, there’s nobody but us here right now, and it makes it feel like it’s our own personal paradise.
“So, I know you are a flight attendant based in Coral Bay, and your ex is a cheating asshole, but that’s all you’ve given me,” Dominick says after a while. “Tell me something about you.”
I consider his request for a few seconds. I’ve made it a point not to let him in because it would only make things harder. We don’t live near each other, so we couldn’t have a future together, unless he was willing to move to Coral Bay. And even if he did move, I’m not sure I would want to start something serious with anyone, even him, while my focus needs to be on my mom.
At the same time, I feel like I’ve been isolating myself from everyone since I moved home and my boyfriend and best friend broke my heart. So, maybe, just for today, I’ll let Dominick in a little. I’ll pretend like tomorrow doesn’t exist and make the most of our time in the DR. Because once I return home, reality will hit, and all I’ll have are the memories from our time together.
“This is the best non-date I’ve ever been on,” I blurt out, feeling my cheeks heat at my admission. “I mean …” I try to backtrack, but really, there is no coming back from that, so I just go with it. “Every date I’ve been on was kind of lame. Dinner, drinks, sometimes a movie. Wash, rinse, repeat. But this? This is amazing. Thank you for bringing me here. We both know I would’ve slept with you, even without the sightseeing.”
Dominick barks out a laugh. “I’m glad you like it. I’m not an expert on dating, so dinner and drinks sound like a normal date to me. Though I haven’t seen a movie in an actual theater in … well, ever.” He chuckles.
“What? You’ve never been to the movies?”
“Nope. And I honestly haven’t thought about watching a movie in years,” he admits. “I can’t even remember the last movie I saw.”
“Yeah, same,” I agree. “Between school and work and taking care of my mom, I don’t have time for much else.”
